prohibited.
|
(a) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly be |
present in any
public park building or on real property |
comprising any public park
when persons under the age of
18 are
|
present in the building or on the grounds
and to approach, |
contact, or communicate with a child under 18 years of

is a parent or guardian of a person under |
18 years of age present in the
building or on the
grounds.
|
(b) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly |
loiter on a public
way within 500 feet of a public park |

public park
while |

the
grounds

reside within

subsection (b-5) |
prohibits a child sex offender from residing within 500 feet
of |
a playground or a facility providing programs or services |

|
the property is owned by the

the 91st General Assembly. Nothing in this
subsection (b-5) |
prohibits a child sex offender from residing within 500 feet

care facility if the property is owned by the
child sex |
offender and was purchased before the effective date of this
|
amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly.
|
(b-6) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly |
reside within
500 feet of the victim of the sex offense. |
Nothing in this
subsection (b-6) prohibits a child sex offender |
from residing within 500 feet

if the property in |
which the child sex offender resides is owned by the
child sex |
offender and was purchased before the effective date of this
|
amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.
|
This subsection (b-6) does not apply if the victim of the |
sex offense
is 21 years of age or older.
|
(c) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly |
operate, manage,
be employed by, volunteer at, be associated |
with, or knowingly be present at

which the programs or |
services are offered or upon which the day care center, part |
day child care facility, child care institution, or school |
providing before and after school programs for children under |
18 years of age is located, provided the child sex offender

(2) the day care center, part day child care facility, child |
care institution, or school providing before and after school |
programs for children under 18 years of age is operated.
