AZ SB1041

Amends A.R.S. § 13-3727 to distinguish between level three offenders and other registered sex offenders convicted of dangerous crimes against children regarding residency restrictions.

Level three offenders are prohibited from residing within 1,000 feet of schools (K-8 and 9-12), child care facilities, and former victims' residences.

Non-level three offenders face restrictions only on knowingly establishing residence within 1,000 feet of a former victim's residence; establishing residence without knowledge is permitted if the person moves within 30 days of learning the victim's location.

Prohibits counties, cities, and towns from enacting local ordinances imposing greater distance restrictions than those specified in state law.

Violation is a class 1 misdemeanor, but a second or subsequent violation of victim residency restrictions becomes a class 6 felony.
