Prohibits sex offenders from holding any job, position, or type of employment that primarily consists of contact with children.
This bill prohibits sex offenders assessed as moderate or high risk of re-offending from working in any job where 80% or more of their duties involve contact with children. It directly affects individuals convicted of certain sex offenses under New Jersey's Megan's Law who have been risk-assessed as moderate or high. The law makes it a third-degree crime (carrying up to 5 years in prison or a $15,000 fine) for such offenders to accept, contract for, or serve in these roles. The prohibition excludes offenders under 18 working in rehabilitative programs for juvenile sex offenders.
