MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 24, 2018 02:45 PM
From: Representative Thomas L. Mehaffie, III
To: All House members
Subject: Megan's Law Residency Restrictions
 

Colleagues,

In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that would establish a residency restriction for sexual offenders registered under Megan’s Law. Currently, under Pennsylvania Law, there are no residency restrictions for sexual offenders other than the requirement to notify the school district a sexual predator resides within a one mile radius.

My legislation would prohibit Megan’s Law registrant’s from residing within 5,000 feet of any public school, private school, parochial school or pre-school.

It is my belief that this legislation will ensure students safety by prohibiting sex offenders from moving near the educational facilities.

Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation.



Introduced as HB2507
