    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended  by changing 
Section 11-9.3 as follows:
 



    (720 ILCS 5/11-9.3)



    Sec. 11-9.3. Presence within school zone by child sex

offenders prohibited.

    (a) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly be 
present in any
school building, on real property comprising any 
school, or in any conveyance
owned, leased, or contracted by a 
school to transport students to or from
school or a school 
related activity when persons under the age of 18 are
present 
in the building, on the grounds or in
the conveyance, unless 
the offender is a parent or guardian of a student attending the 
school and the parent or guardian is: (i) attending a 
conference at the school with school personnel to discuss the 
progress of his or her child academically or socially, (ii) 
participating in child review conferences in which evaluation 
and placement decisions may be made with respect to his or her 
child regarding special education services, or (iii) attending 
conferences to discuss other student issues concerning his or 
her child such as retention and promotion and notifies the 
principal of the school of his or her presence at the school

present in the building, on the grounds or in the conveyance or 
unless the
offender has permission to be present from the

superintendent or the school board or in the case of a private 
school from the
principal.  In the case of a public school, if 
permission is granted, the
superintendent or school board 
president must inform the principal of the
school where the sex 
offender will be present.  Notification includes the
nature of 
the sex offender's visit and the hours in which the sex 
offender will
be present in the school.  The sex offender is

arrives on school property and when he or she
departs from 
school property.  If the sex offender is to be present in the

vicinity of children, the sex offender has the duty to remain 
under the direct
supervision of a school official.  A child sex 
offender who violates this
provision is
guilty of a Class 4 
felony.
    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to infringe upon 
the constitutional right of a child sex offender to be present 
in a school building that is used as a polling place for the 
purpose of voting.

of 18 are present in the building or on the
grounds,
unless the 
offender is a parent or guardian of a student attending the 
school and the parent or guardian is: (i) attending a 
conference at the school with school personnel to discuss the 
progress of his or her child academically or socially, (ii) 
participating in child review conferences in which evaluation 
and placement decisions may be made with respect to his or her 
child regarding special education services, or (iii) attending

her child such as retention and promotion and notifies the 
principal of the school of his or her presence at the school

present in the
building or on the grounds or has permission to 
be present from the
superintendent or the school board or in 
the case of a private school from the
principal.  In the case of 
a public school, if permission is granted, the
superintendent 
or school board president must inform the principal of the

school where the sex offender will be present.  Notification 
includes the
nature of the sex offender's visit and the hours 
in which the sex offender will
be present in the school.  The

she
departs from school property.  If the sex offender is to be 
present in the
vicinity of children, the sex offender has the 
duty to remain under the direct
supervision of a school 
official.  A child sex offender who violates this
provision is

guilty of a Class 4 felony.

attend if the
property is owned by the child sex offender and
