But yay for Cali!
But if the state turns around and restricts offenders then its ok?
Meaning the ruling isn't as much about lessening restrictions as it is about local vs. state?
It's just IL state has a ton of restrictions - park district and forest preserve land are restricted. That means every zoo, pool, beach, playground bike path, hiking trail, etc are off limits.
As are school grounds without written permission of the school board / superintendent. Although if you're going to school for conferences they can't stop you but you need permission in writing first.
I had hoped the CA ruling would address directly the unconstitutionality of such restrictions and could be used as a stepping stone in IL.
But the ruling is regarding state vs. local rules.
I wonder, however, how the CA rule impacts WI who has many local restrictions?

Now, presence restrictions, I can imagine, but it would still apply only to places that "belong" to the state, such as state parks, etc.
Maybe my thinking is wrong, though. Feel free to rebutt.
Here's the site for Wisconsin.
