The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that towns do not have the right
to make their own laws regarding where sex offenders can or cannot live.

According to the unanimous ruling, municipalities are not allowed to
ban sex offenders from "living within a designated distance of any
school, park, playground, public library, or daycare center…"
The judges said "Megan's Law already makes that call," reports the
Newark Star-Ledger.



The result? Over 100 municipalities could have to remove ordinances
that prevented offenders from residing near schools and daycare centers.
