Introduced Text

New Jersey S341 authorizes municipalities to enact ordinances restricting where certain sex offenders can reside.

New Jersey S341 allows municipalities to create ordinances that restrict where certain registered sex offenders can live. These restrictions aim to minimize the risk of contact between sex offenders and children by prohibiting offenders from residing within 500 feet of elementary or secondary schools, playgrounds, or child care centers. The bill defines "person subject to limitations" as someone over 21 who has been convicted of a sex offense involving a victim under 18, unless their risk of re-offense is deemed low.
