(A) The State Legislature has found certain sex offenders present a high risk to commit repeat offenses and has enabled municipalities to restrict such persons’ places of residency as provided in the Sexual Predator Residency Restriction Act, Neb. RS 29-4015 et seq.
(B) Sex offenders who prey on children and who are at high risk to repeat such acts present an extreme threat to public safety. The cost of sex offender victimization to these children and to society at large, while incalculable, is exorbitant.
(C) It is the intent of this subchapter to serve the city’s compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city by creating certain areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers where certain sexual predators cannot reside.
