What’s in it
This bill relates to the scope of certain criminal actions, including exclusion zones for registered sex offenders and burglary. The bill provides that a sex offender who has been convicted of a sex offense against a minor in this state or in another jurisdiction shall not engage in electronic or internet-facilitated communication with a minor, or a law enforcement officer or agent posing as a minor, unless the offender is the parent or guardian of the minor. Current law defines burglary as, with the intent to commit a felony, assault, or theft therein, and with no right, license, or privilege to do so, entering an occupied structure, such occupied structure not being open to the public, or remaining therein after it is closed to the public or after a person’s right, license, or privilege to be there has expired, or with such intent breaking an occupied structure.
