FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Attorney General Jack Conway says he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a state-level ruling that loosened restrictions on where convicted sex offenders can live.
Conway said Thursday that he has “serious concerns” about a ruling handed down earlier this month by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
The ruling meant that potentially thousands of sex offenders in Kentucky either won’t have to move or that they can move back into their former homes.
Kentucky lawmakers passed a law in 2006 that barred sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools, day care centers and playgrounds.
