Federally funded shelters would be required to turn away registered sex offenders.
This bill would stop domestic violence and homeless shelters that get federal money from serving registered sex offenders. It would also make it illegal for registered sex offenders to enter or use these shelters, with criminal penalties for those who don't follow the rules. Shelters that don't comply could lose their federal funding.
Currently, there are no federal rules stopping registered sex offenders from using domestic violence or homeless shelters, nor are there federal penalties for shelters that serve them. This bill would change that by prohibiting federally funded shelters from providing services to registered sex offenders. It would also make it illegal for registered sex offenders to use these shelters. Those who don't comply could face potential fines or up to 5 years in prison.
