SEXUAL AND VIOLENT OFFENDERS RESIDING IN CLOSE

PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS AND PARKS

 

WHEREAS, Currently there are approximately 4,000 Sexual and Violent Offenders registered in Montana:  and

 

WHEREAS, Many experts agree that persons with pedophiliac tendencies maintain their sexual attractions to children forever:  and    

 

WHEREAS, Currently, Montana state law regarding Sexual and Violent Offenders does not restrict the location of their residence, and only that they register their location with the corresponding county:  and

 

WHEREAS, The only restriction regarding residence proximity to schools and parks would be a court order from the judge during the offenders sentence:  and

 

RESOLVED,  That the Montana PTA, it’s units and councils, urges the Montana Legislature to change current law to restrict Sexual and Violent Offenders from residing within close proximity to any school or park, not to supercede any decisions or restrictions handed down from the sentencing judge.
