    (730 ILCS 152/116  new)
    Sec. 116. Missing Sex Offender Database.
    (a) The Department of State Police
shall establish and 
maintain a Statewide Missing Sex Offender Database for
the

purpose of identifying missing sex offenders and making that 
information
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 
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 sex offenders under the Sex 
Offender Registration Act and
shall identify those who are sex 
offenders and who have not complied with the provisions of 
Section 6 of that Act or whose address can not be verified 
under Section 8-5 of that Act and shall add all the

information, including photographs if available, on those 
missing sex offenders to
the Statewide Sex
Offender
Database.

    (b) The Department of State Police must make the 
information contained in
the
Statewide Missing Sex Offender 
Database accessible on the Internet by means of a
hyperlink

labeled "Missing Sex Offender Information" on the Department's 
World Wide Web home
page and on the Attorney General's I-SORT 
page. The Department of State Police must update that 
information as it deems
necessary.  The Internet page shall also 
include information that rewards are available to persons who 
inform the Department of State Police or a local law 
enforcement agency of the whereabouts of a missing sex 
offender.

    The Department of State Police may require that a person 
who seeks access to
the missing sex
offender information submit 
biographical information about himself or
herself before

permitting access to the missing sex offender 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, Sex Offender 
Registration Unit, must develop and conduct training to educate 
all those entities involved in the Missing Sex Offender 
Registration Program.
 

    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon 
becoming law.
