11100108D Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 1. That § 18.2-370.5 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows: § 18.2-370.5. Sex offenses prohibiting entry onto school or other property; penalty. A. Every adult who is convicted of a sexually violent offense,
as defined in § 9.1-902, shall be prohibited from entering and being present B. A person
convicted of a violent sexual offense may enter premises described in
subsection A if: (i) he is a
lawfully registered and qualified voter, and is coming upon such property
solely for purposes of casting his vote; (ii) he is a student enrolled at the
school; or (iii) he has obtained a court order pursuant
to subsection C allowing him to enter and be present upon
such property, has obtained the permission of the school board or of the owner
of the private school or child day center or their designee for entry within
all or part of the scope of the lifted ban, and is in compliance with such
school board's, school's or center's terms and conditions and those of the
court order.
D. A violation of this section is punishable as a Class 6 felony. 2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 781 of the Acts of Assembly of 2009 requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation is $0 for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice. |
