Correct Jerry – good catch. Still important article as FL municipalities have similar laws.

Thanks JR – good catch – I just fixed it.

Thanks for the clarification. So now registered citizens after children AND “vulnerable” adults? (insert sarcastic tone here)

Would the probation requirement of “remaining legally employed” be a helpful argument here?

Yes – this is a local restriction.
Florida statutes do not contain any restrictions on employment proximity to a school.

The counties or cities might have their own. I know (because of our lawsuit) that Palm Bay in Brevard does have a restriction on employment at not only schools, but “any residence, including the curtilage thereof, any designated private or public school facility or grounds, including school bus stops, or any day-care center, library, after-care center, park, playground, hospital, hospice facility, nursing home, adult day-care center, dwelling, domicile, or other place where children or vulnerable adults may reside or regularly congregate, to make deliveries or perform work.”

Ahh.. the all encompassing “where children regularly congregate”. So in other words; in Palm Bay you can’t take any job that would require you to be on the grounds of pretty much anywhere, (landscaping, for example, is out).

And, naturally, this is FOR LIFE, so good luck finding jobs, welcome homelessness and we move on to the next issue. So you try to improve yourself by working and supporting yourself but you can’t because you’re so limited. You wind up homeless and then are accused of trying to exploit a “loophole”.

In my communication with FL DOC The State of FL does not restrict employment address distances.

Now… This is really not clear in the statute/registration requirements but it is what FL DOC told me.

We were successful removing employment addresses from the Pasco ordinance on the argument that registered citizens on probation are required to work legally and the ordinance would make employment addresses illegal in nearly every address in the county.

I think that point is a good one to use in fighting these address restrictions.
