that, if committed or attempted in this State, would
have been | ||
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State.
|
Authorization for
the check shall be furnished by the applicant | ||
to
the school district, except that if the applicant is a | ||
substitute teacher
seeking employment in more than one school | ||
district, a teacher seeking
concurrent part-time employment | ||
positions with more than one school
district (as a reading | ||
specialist, special education teacher or otherwise),
or an | ||

positions
with more than one district, any such district may | ||
require the applicant to
furnish authorization for
the check to | ||
the regional superintendent
of the educational service region | ||
in which are located the school districts
in which the | ||
applicant is seeking employment as a substitute or concurrent
| ||
part-time teacher or concurrent educational support personnel | ||
employee.
Upon receipt of this authorization, the school | ||
district or the appropriate
regional superintendent, as the | ||
case may be, shall submit the applicant's
name, sex, race, date | ||
of birth, social security number, fingerprint images, and other | ||
identifiers, as prescribed by the Department
of State Police, | ||
to the Department. The regional

State Police shall | ||
promptly notify the school districts in which the
applicant is | ||
seeking employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time
| ||
teacher or concurrent educational support personnel employee | ||

shall be provided to the applicant for employment. Upon | ||
the check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, the school | ||
district or regional superintendent shall notify an applicant | ||
as to whether or not the applicant has been identified in the | ||
Database as a sex offender. If a check of
an applicant for | ||

one
school district was requested by the regional | ||
superintendent, and the
Department of State Police upon a check | ||

not been convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or
drug | ||
offenses in subsection (c)

under the laws of this State and evidencing that as of the date | ||
that the regional superintendent conducted a check of the | ||
Statewide Sex Offender Database, the applicant has not been | ||
identified in the Database as a sex offender. The school
board | ||
of
any
school district
located in the educational service | ||
region served by the regional
superintendent who issues such a | ||
certificate to an applicant for employment
as a substitute | ||
teacher in more than one such district may rely on the
| ||
certificate issued by the regional superintendent to that | ||
applicant, or may
initiate its own criminal history records | ||

State Police | ||
and its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database as | ||
provided in subsection (a). Any person who releases any
| ||
confidential information concerning any criminal convictions | ||

applicant for employment shall be guilty of a Class A | ||
misdemeanor, unless
the release of such information is | ||
authorized by this Section.

Control Act except those defined in Sections
4(a), 4(b) and | ||
5(a) of that Act; (iii) those defined in the Illinois
| ||

offense committed or attempted in
any other state or | ||
against the laws of the United States, which if
committed or | ||
attempted in this State, would have been punishable as one or
| ||
more of the foregoing offenses.
Further, no school board shall | ||
knowingly employ a person who has been found
to be the | ||
perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of any minor under 18 | ||
years

| ||
Sec. 34-18.5. Criminal history records checks and checks of | ||
the Statewide Sex Offender Database.
| ||
(a) Certified and noncertified applicants for
employment | ||
with the school district are required as a condition of
| ||
employment to authorize a fingerprint-based criminal history | ||
records check to determine if such applicants
have been | ||
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug offenses in
| ||
subsection (c) of this Section or have been
convicted, within 7 | ||
years of the application for employment with the
school | ||
district, of any other felony under the laws of this State or | ||
of any
offense committed or attempted in any other state or | ||
against the laws of
the United States that, if committed or | ||
attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as a felony | ||
under the laws of this State. Authorization
for
the
check shall
| ||
be furnished by the applicant to the school district, except | ||
that if the
applicant is a substitute teacher seeking | ||
employment in more than one
school district, or a teacher |
seeking concurrent part-time employment
positions with more | ||
than one school district (as a reading specialist,
special | ||
education teacher or otherwise), or an educational support
| ||
personnel employee seeking employment positions with more than | ||
one
district, any such district may require the applicant to | ||
furnish
authorization for
the check to the regional | ||
superintendent of the
educational service region in which are | ||
located the school districts in
which the applicant is seeking | ||
employment as a substitute or concurrent
part-time teacher or | ||
concurrent educational support personnel employee.
Upon | ||
receipt of this authorization, the school district or the | ||
appropriate
regional superintendent, as the case may be, shall | ||
submit the applicant's
name, sex, race, date of birth, social | ||
security number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as | ||
prescribed by the Department
of State Police, to the | ||
Department. The regional
superintendent submitting the | ||
requisite information to the Department of
State Police shall | ||
promptly notify the school districts in which the
applicant is | ||
seeking employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time
| ||
teacher or concurrent educational support personnel employee | ||
that
the
check of the applicant has been requested. The | ||
Department of State
Police and the Federal Bureau of | ||
Investigation shall furnish, pursuant to a fingerprint-based | ||
criminal history records check, records of convictions, until | ||
expunged, to the president of the school board for the school | ||
district that requested the check, or to the regional | ||
superintendent who requested the check. The
Department shall | ||
charge
the school district
or the appropriate regional | ||
superintendent a fee for
conducting
such check, which fee shall | ||
be deposited in the State
Police Services Fund and shall not | ||
exceed the cost of the inquiry; and the
applicant shall not be | ||
charged a fee for
such check by the school
district or by the | ||
regional superintendent. Subject to appropriations for these | ||
purposes, the State Superintendent of Education shall | ||
reimburse the school district and regional superintendent for | ||
fees paid to obtain criminal history records checks under this |
Section.
| ||
(a-5) The school district or regional superintendent shall | ||
further perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, | ||
as authorized by the Sex Offender and Child Murderer Community | ||
Notification Law, for each applicant.
| ||
(a-6) The school district or regional superintendent shall | ||
further perform a check of the Statewide Child Murderer and | ||
Violent Offender Against Youth Database, as authorized by the | ||
Child Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Community | ||
Notification Law, for each applicant.
| ||
(b) Any
information concerning the record of convictions | ||
obtained by the president
of the board of education or the | ||
regional superintendent shall be
confidential and may only be | ||
transmitted to the general superintendent of
the school | ||
district or his designee, the appropriate regional
| ||
superintendent if
the check was requested by the board of | ||
education
for the school district, the presidents of the | ||
appropriate board of
education or school boards if
the check | ||
was requested from the
Department of State Police by the | ||
regional superintendent, the State
Superintendent of | ||
Education, the State Teacher Certification Board or any
other | ||
person necessary to the decision of hiring the applicant for
| ||
employment. A copy of the record of convictions obtained from | ||
the
Department of State Police shall be provided to the | ||
applicant for
employment. Upon the check of the Statewide Sex | ||
Offender Database, the school district or regional | ||
superintendent shall notify an applicant as to whether or not | ||
the applicant has been identified in the Database as a sex | ||
offender. If a check of an applicant for employment as a
| ||
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent | ||
educational
support personnel employee in more than one school | ||
district was requested
by the regional superintendent, and the | ||
Department of State Police upon
a check ascertains that the | ||
applicant has not been convicted of any
of the enumerated | ||
criminal or drug offenses in subsection (c)
or has not been
| ||
convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment |
with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of | ||
this State or of any
offense committed or attempted in any | ||
other state or against the laws of
the United States that, if | ||
committed or attempted in this State, would
have been | ||
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and so
| ||
notifies the regional superintendent and if the regional | ||
superintendent upon a check ascertains that the applicant has | ||
not been identified in the Sex Offender Database as a sex | ||
offender, then the regional superintendent
shall issue to the | ||
applicant a certificate evidencing that as of the date
| ||
specified by the Department of State Police the applicant has | ||
not been
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug | ||
offenses in subsection
(c)
or has not been
convicted, within 7 | ||
years of the application for employment with the
school | ||
district, of any other felony under the laws of this State or | ||
of any
offense committed or attempted in any other state or | ||
against the laws of
the United States that, if committed or | ||
attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as a felony | ||
under the laws of this State and evidencing that as of the date | ||
that the regional superintendent conducted a check of the | ||
Statewide Sex Offender Database, the applicant has not been | ||
identified in the Database as a sex offender. The school
board | ||
of any school district located
in
the educational
service | ||
region served by the regional superintendent who issues such a
| ||
certificate to an applicant for employment as a substitute or | ||
concurrent
part-time teacher or concurrent educational support | ||
personnel employee in more
than one such district may rely on | ||
the certificate issued by the regional
superintendent to that | ||
applicant, or may initiate its own criminal history records | ||
check of
the applicant through the Department of State Police | ||
and its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database as | ||
provided in
subsection (a). Any person who releases any | ||
confidential information
concerning any criminal convictions | ||
of an applicant for employment shall be
guilty of a Class A | ||
misdemeanor, unless the release of such information is
| ||
authorized by this Section.
|
(c) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a | ||
person who has
been convicted for committing attempted first | ||
degree murder or for
committing or attempting to commit first | ||
degree murder or a Class X felony
or any one or more of the
| ||
following offenses: (i) those defined in Sections 11-6, 11-9, | ||
11-14,
11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18, 11-19, 11-19.1, | ||

11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13, 12-14,
12-14.1,
12-15 | ||
and 12-16 of the Criminal Code of
1961; (ii) those defined in | ||
the Cannabis Control Act,
except those defined in Sections | ||
4(a), 4(b) and 5(a) of that Act; (iii)
those defined in the | ||
Illinois Controlled Substances Act;
(iv) those defined in the | ||
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; and (v) | ||
any
offense committed or attempted in any other state or | ||
against the laws of
the United States, which if committed or | ||
attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as one or | ||
more of the foregoing offenses.
Further, the board of education | ||
shall not knowingly employ a person who has
been found to be | ||
the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of any minor under
| ||
18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under Article II of the | ||
Juvenile Court
Act of 1987.
| ||
(d) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a | ||
person for whom
a criminal history records check and a | ||
Statewide Sex Offender Database check has not been initiated.
| ||
(e) Upon receipt of the record of a conviction of or a | ||
finding of child
abuse by a holder of any
certificate issued | ||
pursuant to Article 21 or Section 34-8.1 or 34-83 of the
School | ||
Code, the board of education or the State Superintendent of
| ||
Education shall initiate the certificate suspension and | ||
revocation
proceedings authorized by law.
| ||
(f) After March 19, 1990, the provisions of this Section | ||
shall apply to
all employees of persons or firms holding | ||
contracts with any school district
including, but not limited | ||
to, food service workers, school bus drivers and
other | ||
transportation employees, who have direct, daily contact with | ||
the
pupils of any school in such district. For purposes of | ||
criminal history records checks and checks of the Statewide Sex |
Offender Database on employees of persons or firms holding | ||
contracts with more
than one school district and assigned to | ||
more than one school district, the
regional superintendent of | ||
the educational service region in which the
contracting school | ||
districts are located may, at the request of any such
school | ||
district, be responsible for receiving the authorization for
a | ||
criminal history records check prepared by each such employee | ||
and submitting the same to the
Department of State Police and | ||
for conducting a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database | ||
for each employee. Any information concerning the record of
| ||
conviction and identification as a sex offender of any such | ||

Sec. 6. The Department shall:
| ||
(a) Establish and maintain a statewide Law Enforcement | ||
Agencies Data
System (LEADS) for the purpose of effecting an | ||
immediate law enforcement
response to reports of missing | ||
children. The Department shall implement an
automated data | ||
exchange system to compile, to maintain and to make
available | ||
for dissemination to Illinois and out-of-State law enforcement
| ||
agencies, data which can assist appropriate agencies in | ||
recovering missing
children.
| ||

lost, missing or
runaway children with nationally recognized | ||
"missing person and runaway"
service organizations and monitor | ||

purposes. Such files shall be updated to reflect and include
| ||
information relating to the disposition of the case.
| ||
(h) Compile and maintain an historic data repository | ||
relating to missing
children in order (1) to develop and | ||
improve techniques utilized by law
enforcement agencies when | ||
responding to reports of missing children and (2)
to provide a | ||
factual and statistical base for research that would address
| ||
the problem of missing children.
| ||
(i) Create a quality control program to monitor timeliness | ||
of entries of
missing children reports into LEADS and conduct | ||
performance audits of all
entering agencies.
| ||

establish limitations on its use and a reasonable fee for so | ||
providing the
same, except that no fee shall be charged for | ||
providing the periodic

of Education, appropriate units of
local government, State | ||
agencies, or law enforcement agencies of this or any
other | ||
state or of the federal government.
| ||
(k) Provide for the entry into LEADS of the names and | ||
addresses of sex
offenders as defined in the Sex Offender | ||
Registration Act who are required to
register under that Act. | ||
The information shall be immediately accessible to
law | ||
enforcement agencies and peace officers of this State or any | ||
other state or
of the federal government. Similar information | ||
may be requested from any other
state or of the federal | ||
government for purposes of this Act.
