House Bill 2386 - This bill creates the possibility of lifetime
parole supervision for some of the highest-risk sex offenders
convicted of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child,
aggravated criminal sexual assault, or criminal sexual assault, on
or after July 1, 2005.
House Bill 4030 – This bill makes several changes to the Sex
Offender Registration Act, including requiring sex offenders to give
their employer's telephone number when registering with local law
enforcement. This law also requires juveniles who are convicted of a
crime that, if committed by an adult, would be considered a sex
offense, to register as an adult sex offender within 10 days of
turning 17. It also requires child sex offenders to sign a statement
acknowledging they are aware that they are not allowed to live
within 500 feet of a school or park.
Senate Bill 1234 – This bill requires sex offenders to notify law
enforcement within five days of no longer having a fixed residence.
As long as there is no fixed residence, sex offenders must now
report weekly in person to the appropriate law enforcement entity,
stating where they have resided for the past seven days. The
definition of sexual predator has also been changed to include a
person who is convicted of, or attempts, criminal sexual assault
regardless of the age of the victim.
House Bill 350 – This bill prevents anyone who has been convicted
of a sex offense or who is on probation or parole from residing at
the same address or in the same apartment or condominium building as
anyone else that is known to have been convicted of a sex offense or
is on supervision for a sex offense. Transitional housing facilities
that accept and house sex offenders, though exempt from the one sex
offender per address rule, must be licensed by IDOC and provide
security 24 hours a day
House Bill 121 – This bill provides that as a condition of
probation, conditional discharge, parole, or mandatory supervised
release, a sex offender may not participate in a holiday event
involving children under 18 years of age, such as handing out candy
on Halloween, dressing as Santa Claus during the Christmas season,
or wearing an Easter Bunny costume around Easter.
House Bill 23 – This bill amends the Criminal Code of 1961
by limiting when a child sex offender is allowed to be present at a
school. They will only be allowed at a school when they are the
parent or guardian of a student attending the school and they are
present at the school to attend conferences with school personnel in
discussing the child’s education, evaluating the student’s
performance and placement, and other school issues affecting the
child. The principal must be notified of the child sex offender’s
presence. The bill also allows a child sex offender to enter a
school that is being used as a polling place for the purpose of
voting.
House Bill 2077 – This bill prohibits a child sex offender from
loitering anywhere within 500 feet of a school building or real
property comprising any school, rather than just prohibiting
loitering on public ways within 500 feet of a school building or
real property comprising any school.
