SB 250 - Under current law, registered sex offenders shall not knowingly be present in or loiter within 500 feet of real property comprising any public park with a playground, a public swimming pool or any museum that hold itself out to the public as entertaining or educating children. This act adds the Department of Conservation nature or education centers to the list of properties, unless the registered sex offender is the parent of a child participating in an educational program of the Department of Conservation and has permission to be on the property.
This act is substantially similar to SB 844 (2020).
