Officials in Madawaska are happy about a bill signed into law last week that allows Maine towns to ban sex offenders from any state or municipal park, athletic field, or recreational facility serving children. Madawaska town manager Gary Picard said that some time ago, officials with the town noticed a flaw in the law - that the state law only allowed the setbacks for registered sex offenders if the property was leased to a nonprofit. Picard called it an inadvertent technicality and he himself gave testimony to lawmakers. He said before the change, the town's ordinance was stricter than the state law, so it was not enforceable. Picard didn't expect the law to be changed this legislative session, but says that Representative Roland Martin's bill was supported unanimously by lawmakers.
