The adoption of Megan's Law[1] has increased public awareness of sexual offenders by
requiring them to become registered with authorities, making such
information available to the public. The Village Board of the Village
of Angola hereby enacts this chapter to prevent sex offenders from
residing or living near areas where children regularly meet and congregate.
The Village Board of the Village of Angola believes this legislation
is necessary to further protect the best interest of all children
and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of
the Village of Angola.
