This bill expands the definition of "community safety zone" under South Dakota's sex offender registry laws to include licensed day care centers, licensed group family day care homes, and registered family day care providers. Currently, community safety zones only protect schools, public parks, playgrounds, pools, and domestic abuse or sexual assault shelters—this change adds child care facilities to that same 500-foot protection area where sex offenders are restricted from loitering.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
