## Resource

Florida just cracked down hard on convicted sex offenders and predators with new rules taking effect July 1st—no longer can they live within a thousand feet of any public pool, expanding existing restrictions from schools, parks, and playgrounds. Lawmakers are responding to real incidents, aiming to shield kids by increasing buffer zones from 300 to 500 feet around child-heavy areas. Plus, police now have the authority to make warrantless arrests if offenders are spotted near schools during class or contacting kids at parks or pools—no paperwork needed. This isn’t just about where they live—it’s about creating clearer, stricter boundaries to keep children safer and law enforcement more empowered.
