available to the persons specified in Sections 120 and 125 of
this Law. The Database shall be created from the Law
Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS) established under

the Statewide Sex Offender Database.

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 sex offender information submit
biographical information about himself or herself before
permitting access to the sex offender information. The
Department of State Police may limit access to the sex
offender information to information about sex offenders who
reside within a specified geographic area in proximity to the
address of the person seeking that 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
