Senate panel OKs Jones bill to keep sex offenders away from schools
Posted on November 5, 2015
Sen. Rick Jones
LANSING, Mich. — The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved legislation sponsored by Sen. Rick Jones to restore a law prohibiting sex offenders from working or living within 1,000 feet of a school.
“A federal judge recently ruled that parts of Michigan’s sex offender registration law were too vague. As a result, sex offenders of all kinds can once again hang around our schoolyards,” said Jones, R-Grand Ledge. “Whether the convicted sex offender is a flasher or a pedophile, they have no business hanging out at the local school playground and leering at children.
“It is important to clarify the law so that we are protecting our children and still meeting the federal guidelines.”
Senate Bill 581 would prohibit a registered sex offender in Michigan from working or living within a student safety zone, which is defined as the school property and the area that lies 1,000 feet or less from the school property line. It also clarifies the law concerning how close an offender can be to a school while walking or driving.
The bill includes exemptions for an offender transporting his child to or from school, attending an event sanctioned by his child’s school and meeting with a school employee regarding his child enrolled at that school.
SB 581 now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Mr. Jones fails to explain how to get from the 1000 feet at the edge school property line. Are the offenders supposed to count each step or is it as the crow flies (like these people can fly over rooftops). Just think, Rick Jones likely used taxpayer funded lawyers to come up with this dumb law. More disturbingly, other lawmakers are falling in line to vote for this disaster.
