A Temecula panel Thursday night threw its support behind a law to bar registered sex offenders from living near schools, parks and child day care centers.
Supported by city police, the ordinance would add teeth in Temecula to Jessica's Law, a statewide law passed by voters in 2006 that makes it illegal for offenders to reside near schools and parks.
The ordinance comes as Murrieta prepares to give final approval to its own sex offender law. The ordinance would prohibit any offender from loitering within 300 feet of a school, park or place where children gather.
