anonymous on 31 Oct 12Over the last few years, Georgia's General Assembly has passed several law that prohibit people on the sex offender registry from living or working in certain locations within 1,000 feet of: schools, child care facilities, school bus stops and other areas where minors congregate. On June 20, 2006, the Southern Center for Human Rights ("SCHR") filed a lawsuit on behalf of everyone on the registry challenging these residency and employment restrictions. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. The defendants in the case are Governor Sonny Perdue, Attorney General Thurbert Baker, and all of the sheriffs in Georgia.
