[Ord. #2005-10, Preamble]
Whereas, the Township of Plumsted has carefully reviewed the
provisions of N.J.S.A. 2C:7-1, commonly referred to as "Megan's
Law" and concurs with the findings and declarations of the State Legislature
that the danger of recidivism posed by sex offenders and offenders
who commit other predatory acts against children, and the dangers
posed by persons who prey on others as a result of mental illness
and/or capacity requires a system of registration and other restrictions
in order to adequately protect the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of the Township of Plumsted; and
Whereas, there currently does not exist any state laws which
concern or touch upon the prohibition of certain convicted sex offenders
from residing in or living near or adjacent to areas where children
regularly meet and congregate; and
Whereas, the Township Committee of the Township of Plumsted
believes that is in the best interest of its residents to adopt additional
regulations regarding convicted sex offenders so as to better protect
the health, safety and welfare of the children of the municipality.
Now, therefore, be it ordained, by the Mayor and Township Committee
of the Township of Plumsted, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey
as follows.
[Ord. #2005-10, § 2]
A.Â
No person over the age of eighteen (18) who has been convicted of
a violation of any crime against a minor as listed in N.J.S.A. 2C:7-2,
and who as a result of said conviction is required to register with
the proper authorities to N.J.S.A. 2C:7-1 et seq. Registration and
Notification Release of Certain Offenders shall be permitted to reside
or live within two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet of any school,
park, playground or day care center in the Township of Plumsted.
B.Â
A person who resides or lives within two thousand five hundred (2,500)
feet of any school, park, playground or day care center in the Township
of Plumsted shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of written notice
of the prohibition set forth herein to move. Failure to move to a
location, which is in compliance with this section within that time
period, shall constitute a violation of this section.
C.Â
This section shall not apply to a person who established a residence
prior to July 14, 2005.
D.Â

one thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($1,250.); imprisonment for
a term not exceeding ninety (90) days, a period of community service
