[ACSOL recommends all Florida residents take action to stop these bills]
House Bill 45 and Senate Bill 212 seek to add to the 1,000 ft residency restrictions of childcare facilities, schools, parks and playgrounds by including “public swimming pools” and “public bathing places”. These residency restrictions result in 80% or more of Florida being off limits for registrant housing. Registrants who have committed one of the enumerated offenses; involving a victim under 16 years of age; and after 2004 for a Florida offense or 2010 for an out-of-state offense would be required to move before July 1, 2026, under the current version of the law.
The Florida Sheriffs Association President stated that these bills close a loophole and are a priority of the Florida Sheriffs Association. The Senate sponsor stated the bill is a clarification, but it’s actually an expansion. They want to expand the exclusion zone.
Florida Statute 514.011 Definitions. (2) “Public swimming pool” or “public pool” means a watertight structure of concrete, masonry, or other approved materials which is located either indoors or outdoors, used for bathing or swimming by humans, and filled with a filtered and disinfected water supply, together with buildings, appurtenances, and equipment used in connection therewith.

It’s Florida, so why don’t they mention sink holes………..🤣🤣🤣
Florida will be the 1st state to eliminate the registry just by eliminating registrants.
Florida’s new motto “ Welcome to Florida , now get the f*** out!”
Will Florida start putting up pocket pools or fountains forcing people to register to move? I’ve never heard a person forced to register molesting or having sex with a minor at a public pool or any other body of water, but there’s always an imaginary loophole that needs to be closed. Closed loopholes for mindless robots in the name of public safety.
The people running Florida are simply evil. No other explanation.
The article cited the following, “The Senate sponsor stated the bill is a clarification, but it’s actually an expansion. They want to expand the exclusion zone.”
This translates into “banishment expansion”. It feels like Florida will follow California’s lead to the result of Re:Taylor, identifying banishment is punishment and cannot be applied to anyone no longer under custody.
What about water fountains…or water bottles for that matters?
There go my dreams of living in a van down by the river.
