					<description><![CDATA[This is a FAR BIGGER issue than you may realize. Think about this -- Florida is almost completely surrounded by water. The land area of state itself is 18.5% covered by water. The bill includes not just public pools covering everyhing from hotel pools to pools in a subdivision or apartment complex, but streams, rivers, ponds, etc. See below:

(4) “Public bathing place” means a body of water, natural or modified by humans, for swimming, diving, and recreational bathing used by consent of the owner or owners and held out to the public by any person or public body, irrespective of whether a fee is charged for the use thereof. The bathing water areas of public bathing places include, but are not limited to, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, artificial impoundments, and waters along the coastal and intracoastal beaches and shores of the state.

A public swimming pool or public pool shall mean a conventional pool, spa-type pool, wading pool, special purpose pool, spray pool, splash pad, or water recreation attraction, to which admission may be gained with or without payment of a fee and includes, but is not limited to, pools operated by or serving camps, churches, cities, counties, child care facilities day care centers, group home facilities for eight or more clients, health spas, institutions, parks, state agencies, schools, subdivisions, or the cooperative living-type projects of five or more living units, such as apartments, boardinghouses, hotels, mobile home parks, motels, recreational vehicle parks, and townhouses.

This has the potential to make the mess in Miami look like a gentle breeze compared to a statewiode Cat 5 hurricane.]]></description>

We do not know, yet, that this is true and I caution anyone against taking radical steps at this time.
There is still a decent chance that this bill will not pass. There is still a good chance that this bill will be amended before we know whether it will be passed. Even if, in the worst case, it is passed, there will be time before the effective dates to make this decision.
Nobody should be making statements such as these.]]></description>

&lt;strong&gt;Edited for clarification&lt;/strong&gt;: The way the bill currently reads, if an offense was with a minor less than 16 years old, and the offense was in Florida after Oct 1, 2004, or if on probation and an offense was with a person less than 18 years old, then you may be required to move. &lt;strong&gt;HOWEVER, there is a good chance that the bill will be amended, or possibly stopped.&lt;/strong&gt;

In line 301 of the bill,...(a) A prohibition on visiting schools, child care 
302 facilities, parks, public swimming pools, public bathing places,
303 and playgrounds without prior approval from the releasee&#039;s 
304 supervising officer. The commission may also designate 
305 additional prohibited locations to protect a victim. The 
306 prohibition ordered under this paragraph does not prohibit the 
307 releasee from visiting a school, child care facility, park, 
308 public swimming pool, public bathing place. 
I understand that it sya supervising officer, however they are using the sex offender probation as reference to what rules are added.]]></description>
