Georgia Supreme Court Strikes Sex Offender Residency Prohibition as Illegal Taking
On Wednesday, the Georgia Supreme Court struck down part of a state law that prohibited registered sex offenders from living with 1,000 feet of schools, day care centers, and other establishments serving children, such as churches. The court limited its ruling to the law's residency prohibitions, which they deemed an "illegal taking" on the ground that it effectively requires sex offenders who own homes to abandon them if such a new such establishment is built in their area.
