U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper on Monday also issued a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of a provision to prevent offenders from volunteering at churches.
The state wanted the judge to declare the class-action suit unmanageable. Cooper allowed it to proceed in ``subclasses.''
The subclasses include offenders seeking to overturn a provision against them living within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop; those who want to volunteer at places of worship; and those who were convicted before the July 1, 2006 law but were put on the sex offender registry.
