A bill proposed by a Chandler lawmaker would make it tougher for many types of sex offenders to be housed at the same location.
Rep. Jeff Weninger, R-Chandler, is the sponsor of HB 2870. That’s a proposed addition to sex offender code that would make it illegal for sex offenders, classified as level 2 or level 3 by the state, who are on probation or community supervision, to live together in a home, with exceptions for family by blood or marriage and for adoption.
The committee advanced the bill, 6-3, mostly along party lines. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, voted to advance it.
