State Sex Offender Housing Limitation Law Senate Bill #6440 and House Bill #2594
Please show your support for proposed state legislation on behalf of our neighborhoods — not just in Vancouver, but statewide. This legislation is designed to prevent level II or III sex offenders from co-habitating in the same house, as has happened recently in Vancouver, WA. This proposed legislation prevents sex offenders from establishing residence with or within one thousand feet of other risk level II or III offenders currently under community custody for the commission of a sex offense (while the sex offender is on parole). The new legislation also provides for the court to order the sex offender to participate in mandatory rehabilitative programs.
THE CUTOFF DATE FOR PUBLIC COMMENTARY ON THIS NEW LEGISLATION IS FEBRUARY 6, 2004.
Having multiple sex offenders living under the same roof in a residential neighborhood is very dangerous and it will also negatively impact property values! Please write to your legislators immediately to show support for this effort.
