❌ HB102
Restrict sex offender from residing, loitering near victim’s home
Current Status: Introduced In Senate
Summary
The bill prohibits sex offenders and child-victim offenders from residing within 2,000 feet and loitering within 1,000 feet of the victim's residence. It allows for legal action against offenders who violate these restrictions and specifies penalties for non-compliance. Exceptions are made if the victim resides near the offender's residence.
Rationale
The bill imposes restrictions on the rights of individuals who have already served their sentences, conflicting with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty and self-ownership. It also expands government control over personal relationships and housing choices, which contradicts the Libertarian Party's advocacy for minimal government intervention.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over personal freedoms
- Potential for unjust punishment of individuals who have served their sentences
- Encouragement of discrimination against individuals based on past offenses
