Section 1283.50  Requirements

a)         Registration Period

A violent offender against youth required to register under the Act shall be required to register for a period of 10 years after the conviction or adjudication if not confined to a penal institution, hospital, or any other institution or facility, or, if confined, for a period of 10 years after parole, discharge or release from any such facility.  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, or, if confined, at the expiration of 10 years from the date of parole, discharge or release from any such facility, providing the person does not, during that period, again become liable to register under the Act.  Reconfinement (due to 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.  Failure to comply with any provision of the Act shall extend the period of registration by 10 years beyond the period otherwise required.  Except that, a person at least 17 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense who is convicted of first degree murder under Section 9-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 [720 ILCS 5/9-1], against a person under 18 years of age, shall register in person annually within one year after his or her last registration for the period of his or her natural life. Transfer from the Sex Offender Registry to the Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registry will not extend the registration period for offenders who were registered under the Sex Offender Registration Act. [730 ILCS 154/40]
