Indiana HB1208 establishes residency restrictions for offenders against children and creates a new offense for interference with law enforcement.

Indiana HB1208 amends the state's criminal law to impose residency restrictions on offenders against children. Specifically, it prohibits offenders against children from knowingly residing within 500 feet of areas like ballfields, playgrounds, swimming pools, or beaches managed by homeowners or property owners associations. Violators face a Level 6 felony charge. The bill also allows offenders against children to petition the court for reconsideration of their status after ten years from release from incarceration or parole.
