Residency laws, also known as "Jessica's Law," require certain convicted sexual offenders to live a minimum distance (usually ranging from 500 to 2,500 feet) from locations such as schools, parks, and playgrounds. This restriction is put in place to reduce the likelihood of the offender being tempted to re-offend in proximity to potential victims.
