What you are asking about is the restrictions under "Megan's Law".
The KLAAS Kid's Foundation offers a wealth of information regarding this issue.
YOu can find out more from their site than I can provide here. The part you want is located at http://www.klaaskids.org/pg-legmeg.htm.
There is also a 1.75 MB .pdf file provided by the NJ Department of Criminal Justice. It is located here: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/megan1.pdf
Remember to vote to keep Megan's Law active; it is meant to protect your children from repeat offenders.
