The Orlando Sentinel reports that the Polk County Commission voted to place restrictions on where registered sex offenders may live. From the article:
Polk County commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance today that restricts where certain registered sexual offenders and predators may live in the unincorporated areas.
The ordinance will prohibit certain offenders and predators from living within 2,500 feet of schools, day-care centers, parks, playgrounds and libraries.
It further restricts predators from living within 1,000 feet of churches and school bus stops.
The ordinance will not impact those offenders and predators who have a registered address prior to the ordinance taking effect.
