An Ordinance to repeal and recreate Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances - SEXUAL OFFENDERS RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS.
The Common Council of the City of Racine, Wisconsin, do ordain as follows:
Part 1: To repeal and recreate subsection (a)(1) of Sec. 3-1. - Sexual offender residency restrictions as follows:
“The Common Council finds that repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence and sexual offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to public safety. It is further believed that these sex offenders are more likely to re-offend when presented with opportunity and access to vulnerable victims. As such, the Council hereby establishes regulations which restrict certain offenders from residing or congregating in areas that are at or near where there is a high concentration of children in order to provide better protection for children in the City by minimizing immediate access and proximity to children and thereby reducing opportunity and temptation for recidivism. This chapter is a regulatory measure | Recommended For Approval | Pass |
