This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 14:91.1(D) and enacts R.S. 14:91.1(A)(3) and 91.2(A)(7) to address offenses affecting the health and morals of minors, specifically concerning sex offenders and sexually violent predators. The new provisions define unlawful presence for these offenders, particularly focusing on loitering near locations commonly used for the pickup or drop-off of children during specific hours when children are present. The bill establishes that loitering in these areas, when the offender has reasonable grounds to believe that children are present, constitutes unlawful presence.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "loitering" and introduces the term "school property" to encompass various locations used for school purposes. The criteria for determining "reasonable grounds" for the presence of children include factors such as the attire of the children, personal items, and the time of day. These changes aim to enhance the protection of minors from potential threats posed by sex offenders and sexually violent predators in proximity to school-related activities.
