Effective September 1, 2005, the court injunction prohibiting
enforcement of Code of Iowa Chapter 692A.2A is lifted. A person who
has committed a criminal offense against a minor, or an aggravated
offense, sexually violent offense, or other relevant offense that
involved a minor shall not reside within two thousand feet of the real
property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary
school or a child care facility. Exemptions include a person who is
required to serve a sentence at a jail, prison, juvenile facility, or
other correctional institution or facility; a person who is subject to
an order of commitment under Chapter 229A; a person who has
established a residence prior to July 1, 2002, or a school or
childcare facility is newly located on or after July 1, 2002; or if a
person is a minor or ward under a guardianship. Anyone who has moved
into a "prohibited zone" since the law's enactment on July 1, 2002
will likely be subject to its enforcement. It will be left up to local
jurisdictions to determine and enforce the "restricted zones" in their
communities. The
following maps detail areas where registered sex offenders, as defined
by the Code of Iowa, are prohibited from residing in Dickinson County.
PLEASE NOTE: If the registered sex offender lived in a restricted area
prior to July 1, 2002, he or she may continue to reside there. Also,
if a licensed day care center or school was established after a
registered sex offender established residency, he or she may continue
to reside there. If you have any questions regarding these maps or
where a registered sex offender is living, contact the Dickinson
County Sheriff's Office.
