Relating to the authority of certain counties to restrict sex offenders from child safety zones in certain portions of the unincorporated area of the county; creating a criminal offense.

HB 2749 allows counties with 300,000 or fewer residents to restrict Level 3 registered sex offenders from child safety zones (like schools, playgrounds, and daycares) in unincorporated areas, up to 1,000 feet away. It creates a Class C misdemeanor for violations, with exemptions for legitimate purposes (e.g., transporting children or work) and existing residents living near such zones. The law requires counties to establish procedures for offenders to apply for exemptions and sets specific limits on where restrictions can apply. It directly affects high-risk sex offenders in small-county unincorporated areas and aims to enhance public safety around child-focused locations.
