| Public Act 100-0946 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth | ||||
Registration Act is amended by changing Section 85 and by | ||||
adding Sections 13 and 46 as follows: | ||||
(730 ILCS 154/13 new) | ||||
Sec. 13. Request for Review. | ||||
(a) Any person who is required to register under this Act | ||||
may file a Request for Review with the office of the State's | ||||
Attorney of the county in which he or she was convicted, and | ||||
request that the office of the State's Attorney review his or | ||||
her registration information. Upon receipt of a Request for | ||||
Review, the State's Attorney shall review the information | ||||
provided by the offender, and if he or she determines that the | ||||
information currently relied upon for registration is | ||||
inaccurate, the State's Attorney shall correct the error before | ||||
reporting the offender's personal information to the | ||||
Department of State Police.
If the State's Attorney makes a | ||||
determination to deny a Request for Review, the State's | ||||
Attorney shall give the reason why and the information relied | ||||
upon for denying the Request for Review. | ||||
(b)
Within 60 days of a denial of a request for review an | ||||
offender may appeal the decision of the State's Attorney to | ||
deny the Request for Review in the circuit court. | ||
(730 ILCS 154/46 new) | ||
Sec. 46. Notification of case information from the office | ||
of the State's Attorney.
The office of the State's Attorney | ||
shall provide the Department of State Police Registration Unit | ||
all relevant case information that determines a registrant's | ||
place on the registry, including, but not limited to, the date | ||
of the offense, the name of the offender, the date of birth of | ||
the offender, the nature of the crime, and the date of birth of | ||
the victim in order to facilitate proper registry placement and | ||
to prevent the necessity for future Requests for Review of a | ||
registrant's information. | ||
(730 ILCS 154/85)
| ||
Sec. 85. Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth | ||
Database. | ||
(a) The Department of State Police
shall establish and | ||
maintain a Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against | ||
Youth Database for
the
purpose of identifying violent offenders | ||
against youth and making that information
available to the | ||
persons specified in Section 95. The
Database shall be created | ||
from the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS)
| ||
established under Section 6 of the Intergovernmental Missing | ||
Child Recovery Act
of 1984. The Department of State Police | ||
shall examine its LEADS database for
persons registered as | ||
violent offenders against youth under this Act and
shall | ||
identify those who are violent offenders against youth and | ||
shall add all the
information, including photographs if | ||
available, on those violent offenders against youth to
the | ||
Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
| ||
Database. | ||
(b) The Department of State Police must make the | ||
information contained in
the
Statewide Murderer and Violent | ||
Offender Against Youth Database accessible on the Internet by | ||
means of a
hyperlink
labeled "Murderer and Violent Offender | ||
Against Youth Information" on the Department's World Wide Web | ||
home
page. The Department of State Police must update that | ||
information as it deems
necessary. | ||
The Department of State Police may require that a person | ||
who seeks access to
the violent offender against youth
| ||
information submit biographical information about himself or
| ||
herself before
permitting access to the violent offender | ||
against youth information. The Department of State Police must | ||
promulgate rules
in accordance with the Illinois | ||
Administrative Procedure
Act to implement this
subsection
(b)
| ||
and those rules must include procedures to ensure that the | ||
information in the
database is accurate. | ||
(c) The Department of State Police must develop and conduct | ||
training to educate all those entities involved in the Murderer | ||
and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Program.
| ||
(d) The Department of State Police shall commence the | ||
duties prescribed in the Murderer and Violent Offender Against | ||
Youth Registration Act within 12 months after the effective | ||
date of this Act.
| ||
(e) The Department of State Police shall collect and | ||
annually report, on or before December 31 of each year, the | ||
following information, making it publicly accessible on the | ||
Department of State Police website: | ||
(1) the number of registrants; | ||
(2) the number of registrants currently registered for | ||
each offense requiring registration; and | ||
(3) biographical data, such as age of the registrant, | ||
race of the registrant, and age of the victim. | ||
