Agents will check on sex offenders through random visits and other means, the agency said.
Sex offenders who attacked a child and are still under state supervision cannot turn on their outdoor lights or give out trick-or-treat candy and must stay inside their homes, the department said.
The State Law Enforcement Division keeps a list of sex offenders on its website that can be searched by name or geographic area.
