A 5614 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Division of Parole to establish residency restrictions for certain sex offenders.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Parole to create statewide rules preventing certain high-risk sex offenders from living within 500 feet of schools, child care centers, or playgrounds. It specifically targets offenders sentenced to life parole supervision for crimes involving victims under 18 who are deemed high-risk of reoffending. Exceptions allow residency near these locations if the offender already lived there before the law took effect, is in a treatment facility, or if the parole board grants a housing exception. Parole officers must enforce these rules when approving where these offenders can live.
