| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning sex offenders.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Sex Offender Registration Act is amended by | ||||
changing Section 7 as follows:
| ||||
(730 ILCS 150/7) (from Ch. 38, par. 227)
| ||||
Sec. 7. Duration of registration. A person who has been | ||||
adjudicated to
be
sexually dangerous and is later released or | ||||
found to be no longer sexually
dangerous and discharged, shall | ||||
register for the period of his or her natural
life.
A sexually | ||||
violent person or sexual predator shall register for the period | ||||
of
his or her natural life
after conviction or adjudication if | ||||
not confined to a penal institution,
hospital, or other | ||||
institution or facility, and if confined, for
the period of his | ||||
or her natural life after parole, discharge, or release from
| ||||
any such facility.
Any other person who is required to register
| ||||
under this Article shall be required to register for a period | ||||
of 10 years after
conviction or adjudication if not confined to | ||||
a penal institution, hospital
or any other
institution or | ||||
facility, and if confined, for a period of 10 years after
| ||||
parole, discharge or release from any such facility. A sex | ||||
offender who is
allowed to leave a county, State, or federal | ||||
facility for the purposes of work
release, education, or | ||||
overnight visitations shall be required
to register within 5 | ||
days of beginning such a program. Liability for
registration | ||
terminates at the expiration of 10 years from the date of
| ||
conviction or adjudication if not confined to a penal | ||
institution, hospital
or any other
institution or facility and | ||
if confined, at the expiration of 10 years from the
date of | ||
parole, discharge or release from any such facility, providing | ||
such
person does not, during that period, again
become
liable
| ||
to register under the provisions of this Article.
Reconfinement | ||
due to a violation of parole or other circumstances that | ||
relates to the original conviction or adjudication shall extend | ||
the period of registration to 10 years after final parole, | ||
discharge, or release. Reconfinement due to a violation of | ||
parole or other circumstances that do not relate to the | ||
original conviction or adjudication shall toll the running of | ||
the balance of the 10-year period of registration, which shall | ||
not commence running until after final parole, discharge, or | ||
release. The Director of State Police, consistent with | ||
administrative rules, shall
extend for 10 years the | ||
registration period of any sex offender, as defined
in Section | ||
2 of this Act, who fails to
comply with the provisions of this | ||
Article. The registration period for any sex offender who fails | ||
to comply with any provision of the Act shall extend the period | ||
of registration by 10 years beginning from the first date of | ||
registration after the violation.
If the registration period is | ||
extended, the Department of State Police shall send a | ||
registered letter to the law enforcement agency where the sex | ||
offender resides within 3 days after the extension of the | ||
registration period. The sex offender shall report to that law | ||
enforcement agency and sign for that letter. One copy of that | ||
letter shall be kept on file with the law enforcement agency of | ||
the jurisdiction where the sex offender resides and one copy | ||
shall be returned to the Department of State Police.
