An Act prohibiting level 3 sex offenders from residing together

This bill prohibits level 3 sex offenders from living together in any single-family or multi-family dwelling, unless they are legally related by blood, marriage, or adoption. It directly affects individuals classified as level 3 sex offenders under Massachusetts law who wish to share housing. Violating this rule results in a $1,000 fine, up to 2.5 years in jail, or both, with the violation reported to the sex offender registry board. The law aims to restrict co-residency among high-risk offenders while allowing exceptions for close family relationships.
