Senate Bill 660 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Government Code to authorize a judge and a parole panel to create a child safety zone, as a condition of community supervision or parole, for persons convicted of certain violent offenses.

The act provides for modifications to the child safety zone if shown to be too broad or restrictive.
