A Bill that re-stablishes residency requirements for people on the Sex offender registry got final passage today. Last year the State Supreme court struck down a that requirement because it would force sex offenders to move if a daycare center opens up near them. SB 1 now fixes that problem and allows Sex offenders to remain in their residencies. But once they move, they have to keep a 1000 feet distance from places where children gather. The bill now goes to Governor Perdue for his signature.
