   On page 1, after line 12, insert:

   "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. Section 1 of this act does not apply to rules, regulations, codes, statutes, or ordinances adopted prior to the effective date of this act by cities, counties, municipalities, and local agencies.

   This section expires July 1, 2011.

   NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) The joint legislative audit and review committee shall study the issue of sex offender living restrictions. The study shall include, but not be limited to, the following issues:

   (a) The effect on public safety of sex offender living restrictions in general, including the effect of any such restrictions enacted by cities in this state, by other states, and by units of local government in other states;

   (b) The effect on public safety of allowing local governments to enact sex offender living restrictions that reflect the individual circumstances and needs of local communities;

   (c) The advisability or inadvisability of having a statewide policy on sex offender living restrictions; and

   (d) Approaches that local governments may use to develop sex offender living restrictions that increase public safety and do not decrease the effectiveness of any statewide policy on sex offender living restrictions that may be in place.

   (2) The joint legislative audit and review committee shall report the results of the study to the governor and the legislature no later than January 1, 2011."

Correct the title.

Requires the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee to study the issue of sex offender living restrictions and report back to the governor and the legislature no later than January 1, 2011.
