Jeffersonville City Council Approves Sex Offender Ordinance

The difference between the old and the new ordinance is?
12-8-2009 Indiana:

Registered Sex Offenders Banned From City Parks

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. -- The Jeffersonville City Council unanimously approved a new sex offender ordinance Monday night.

The city had to change a law that banned sex offenders from entering city parks after it was ruled unconstitutional by the state court of appeals.

The previous ordinance banned all past and present sex offenders from parks, however they were allowed to apply for an exemption if they had a good reason.

The new ban now allows offenders that are no longer required to register with the sex offender registry to visit any city park, however those who are on the registry must stay out. ..Source.. WLKY.com
