After heated floor debates and a failed motion to table, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted in favor of passing a bill that would prevent sex offenders from loitering around schools and child care facilities. 

In a voice vote, the House voted “ought to pass” on Senate Bill 460, which would alter the state’s sex offender law to create a “child safety zone” and prevent tier III sex offenders from being within 500 feet of the zone without a “legitimate purpose.”
