Virginia H.B. 2344, S.B. 927

Sex Offenders Prohibited On School Property

Provides that an adult who has been convicted of a sexually violent offense is guilty of a Class 6 felony if he enters or is present on, during school hours, any property he knows or has reason to know is a public or private elementary or secondary school or child day center property, unless he (i) is lawfully voting; (ii) is a student enrolled at the school; or (iii) has received a court order allowing him to enter upon such property. The bill provides that such an adult may petition the juvenile and domestic relations district court or circuit court in the county or city where the school or child day center is located for permission to enter such property. For good cause shown, the court may issue an order permitting the petitioner to enter and be present on such property, subject to restrictions the court deems appropriate.

This bill is similar to SB 927, which also passed the legislature and was sent to the governor.
