21 | inform any person who must register that if he or she | ||||||
22 | establishes a residence outside of the State of Illinois, is | ||||||
23 | employed outside of the State of Illinois, or attends school | ||||||

31 | to register and the procedure for registration. The court shall | ||||||
32 | further advise the person in writing that the failure to | ||||||
33 | register or other violation of this Act shall result in | ||||||
34 | probation revocation. The court shall obtain information about | ||||||
35 | where the person expects to reside, work, and attend school |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | upon his or her release, and shall report the information to | ||||||
2 | the Department of State Police. The court shall give one copy | ||||||
3 | of the form to the person and retain the original in the court | ||||||
4 | records. The Department of State Police shall notify the law | ||||||
5 | enforcement agencies having jurisdiction where the person | ||||||

12 | facility in which he or she was confined, prior to discharge or | ||||||
13 | release from the hospital or treatment facility, of his or her | ||||||
14 | duty to register under this Act.
The facility shall require the | ||||||
15 | person to read and sign such form as may be required by the | ||||||
16 | Department of State Police stating that the duty to register | ||||||
17 | and the procedure for registration has been explained to him or | ||||||

22 | facility shall obtain information about where the person | ||||||
23 | expects to reside, work, and attend school upon his or her | ||||||
24 | discharge, parole, or release and shall report the information | ||||||
25 | to the Department of State Police within 3 days. The facility | ||||||
26 | or institution shall also inform any person who must register | ||||||
27 | that if he or she establishes a residence outside of the State | ||||||

6 | is mailed a verification letter shall complete, sign, and | ||||||
7 | return the enclosed verification form to the Department of | ||||||
8 | State Police postmarked within 10 days after the mailing date | ||||||
9 | of the letter. A person's failure to return the verification | ||||||
10 | form to the Department of State Police within 10 days after the | ||||||
11 | mailing date of the letter shall be considered a violation of | ||||||
12 | this Act; however it is an affirmative defense to a prosecution | ||||||
13 | for failure of a person who is required to return a | ||||||
14 | verification form to the Department of State Police if the post | ||||||
15 | office fails to deliver the verification form to the Department | ||||||
16 | of State Police or if it can be proven that the form has been | ||||||
17 | lost by the Department.
| ||||||
18 | Section 35. Duty to report change of address, school, or | ||||||
19 | employment. Any person who is required to register under this | ||||||
20 | Act shall report in person to the appropriate law enforcement | ||||||
21 | agency with whom he or she last registered within one year from | ||||||
22 | the date of last registration and every year thereafter. If any | ||||||
23 | person required to register under this Act changes his or her | ||||||
24 | residence address, place of employment, or school, he or she | ||||||
25 | shall, in writing, within 10 days inform the law enforcement | ||||||
26 | agency with whom he or she last registered of his or her new | ||||||
27 | address, change in employment, or school and register with the | ||||||
28 | appropriate law enforcement agency within the time period | ||||||
29 | specified in Section 10. The law enforcement agency shall, | ||||||

31 | and the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction of the new | ||||||
32 | place of residence, change in employment, or school.
If any | ||||||
33 | person required to register under this Act establishes a | ||||||
34 | residence or employment outside of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
35 | within 10 days after establishing that residence or employment, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | he or she shall, in writing, inform the law enforcement agency | ||||||
2 | with which he or she last registered of his or her out-of-state | ||||||
3 | residence or employment. The law enforcement agency with which | ||||||
4 | such person last registered shall, within 3 days notice of an | ||||||
5 | address or employment change, notify the Department of State | ||||||
6 | Police. The Department of State Police shall forward such | ||||||
7 | information to the out-of-state law enforcement agency having | ||||||
8 | jurisdiction in the form and manner prescribed by the | ||||||
9 | Department of State Police.
| ||||||
10 | Section 40. Out-of-State employee or student. Every | ||||||

15 | receiving the notice, enter the appropriate changes into | ||||||

| ||||||
17 | Section 45. Duration of registration. Any person, other | ||||||
18 | than a minor who is tried and convicted in an adult criminal | ||||||
19 | prosecution for an offense for which the person is required to | ||||||
20 | register under this Act, who is required to register under this | ||||||
21 | Act shall be required to register for a period of 10 years | ||||||
22 | after conviction if not confined to a penal institution, | ||||||
23 | hospital or any other institution or facility, and if confined, | ||||||
24 | for a period of 10 years after parole, discharge or release | ||||||
25 | from any such facility. A minor who has been tried and | ||||||
26 | convicted in an adult criminal prosecution for an offense for | ||||||
27 | which the person is required to register under this Act shall | ||||||
28 | be required to register for a period of 10 years after his or | ||||||
29 | her conviction for an offense for which the person is required | ||||||
30 | to register under this Act. An arsonist who is allowed to leave | ||||||
31 | a county, State, or federal facility for the purposes of work | ||||||
32 | release, education, or overnight visitations shall be required | ||||||
33 | to register within 10 days of beginning such a program. | ||||||
34 | Liability for registration terminates at the expiration of 10 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | years from the date of conviction if not confined to a penal | ||||||
2 | institution, hospital or any other institution or facility and | ||||||
3 | if confined, at the expiration of 10 years from the date of | ||||||
4 | parole, discharge or release from any such facility, providing | ||||||
5 | such person does not, during that period, again become liable | ||||||
6 | to register under the provisions of this Act. In the case of a | ||||||
7 | minor who is tried and convicted in an adult criminal | ||||||
8 | prosecution, liability for registration terminates 10 years | ||||||
9 | after conviction. The Director of State Police, consistent with | ||||||
10 | administrative rules, shall extend for 10 years the | ||||||
11 | registration period of any arsonist who fails to comply with | ||||||
12 | the provisions of this Act. | ||||||
13 | Section 50. Registration requirements. Registration as | ||||||
14 | required by this Act shall consist of a statement in writing | ||||||
15 | signed by the person giving the information that is required by | ||||||
16 | the Department of State Police, which may include the | ||||||
17 | fingerprints and must include a photograph of the person. The | ||||||

2 | than by a law enforcement officer or other individual as may be | ||||||
3 | authorized by law and shall include law enforcement agencies of | ||||||
4 | this State, any other state, or of the federal government. | ||||||
5 | Similar information may be requested from any law enforcement | ||||||
