SB 15 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Sex offenders; restricted employment and volunteer positions further provided for

SB 15 prohibits both adult and juvenile sex offenders from working or volunteering as first responders, including paramedics, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians. This amendment to Alabama law (Sections 15-20A-13 and 15-20A-31) directly affects individuals convicted of sex offenses who seek these roles. The bill expands existing restrictions - previously limiting sex offenders from schools, childcare, and youth facilities - to explicitly ban first responder positions. Violating this prohibition carries a Class C felony penalty.
