It's now nearly impossible for registered sex offenders to move into Pomona
The City Council has unanimously passed an urgency ordinance that essentially blocks additional registered sex offenders from moving into the eastern Los Angeles County community.
Assistant City Attorney Andrew Jared says about 260 registered sex offenders already live in Pomona.
The ordinance is fashioned after a Long Beach law that takes advantage of wording in Proposition 83, also known as Jessica's Law. It allows cities to craft residency restrictions for registered sex offenders.
