Today is more than just the first of the month: new state-wide rules for sex offenders also go into effect. Knoxville Police Chief Dan Losada says new legislation making it illegal for registered sex offenders to loiter around schools, playgrounds and other areas with children is more clear and enforceable than the old law. Pella Police Chief Michael Marcinkowski says his officers will be enforcing the law to protect all of the citizens in the community.
