Brevard County Commissioners backtracking on rule prohibiting sex offenders on property
Brevard County Commissioners look set to soften a restriction prohibiting sex offenders from Commission meeting premises just months after a lawsuit was filed against them.
During Tuesday’s meeting, commissioners voted to approve legislative intent and permission to advertise amending a section of the county code regarding restrictions the county imposed on people on the sex offender registry allowing them access into buildings and other property.
“This is just legislative intent,” County Attorney Abigail Jorandby said. “We will bring back a proposed draft ordinance. And this is in relation to providing for an exemption for county government buildings for the limited purposes of conducting county businesses and accessing government services.”

Is there a proximity map showing where a PFR can or cannot be in Brevard County?
there is none
So, how does a PFR know where to be or not be? Are the beaches considered parks such that a PFR cannot stop at a 7-11 or other business if it is too close to the beach?
In Brevard, neither registrants nor officers know where the registrant is supposed to be.
