- Authors

- Abstract
The article discusses issues on a restrictive sex offender law in the U.S., commonly called HB 1059, signed by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue on April 26, 2006. The law prohibits all current and future registered state sex offenders from residing or loitering within 1,000 feet of any child care facility, school, church, or area where minors congregate, including parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, skating rinks, neighborhood centers, gymnasiums and school bus stops. The authors present assessment on suits based on the Ex Post Facto Clause, procedural and substantive due process, equal protection, takings, the privilege against self-incrimination, and the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
