Proposition de loi modifiant la loi du 29 février 2024 introduisant le livre II du Code pénal, en vue d'instaurer une interdiction générale de contact avec des mineurs pour les auteurs présentant un risque accru de récidive.

This Belgian bill, tabled in the Chamber of Representatives, would amend the 29 February 2024 law that introduced Book II of the Criminal Code. It proposes a general ban on contact with minors for offenders judged to be at higher risk of reoffending. The aim is to strengthen public safety and protection of children. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text, so the exact scope and mechanisms are not confirmed here. The measure would apply to people convicted of offences who are assessed as presenting an increased risk of reoffending. Children and young people would be the group the ban is intended to protect. Courts, prosecutors, and the authorities that enforce such restrictions would also be affected. Details on who qualifies and how the ban is enforced are not included in the metadata.
