Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Sex Offender Registration Act. Requires that the information submitted by the sex offender at the time of registration shall include whether the victim and the sex offender knew each other at the time of the commission of the offense, county of conviction, license plate numbers for every vehicle registered in the name of the sex offender, and any distinguishing marks located on the body of the sex offender. Requires sex offenders who were required to register annually to register every 90 days. Amends the Sex Offender and Child Murderer Community Notification Law. Provides that the Department of State Police must make the information contained in the Statewide Sex Offender Database searchable by a 5-mile radius from the sex offender's home or school attended. Requires a principal or teacher of a public or private elementary or secondary school to notify the parents of children attending the school during school registration or during parent-teacher conferences that information about sex offenders is available to the public as provided in the Act.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Provides that a person who is required to register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration Act shall report to the law enforcement agency with whom he or she last registered within 180 (rather than 90) days from the date of last registration and every 180 (rather than 90) days thereafter. Eliminates the 4 times a year limitation on the number of times the sex offender must appear at the law enforcement agency.
Provides that the sex offender information shall include the age of the sex offender at the time of the commission of the offense and the age of the victim at the time of the commission of the offense. Deletes new provision that the sex offender information shall include whether the sex offender and the victim knew each other at the time of the commission of the offense. Provides that the Department of State Police must make the information contained in the Statewide Sex Offender Database searchable via a mapping system which identifies registered sex offenders living within 5 miles of an identified address (rather than living within a 5-mile radius from the sex offender's home or school attended). Restores provision that a sex offender, other than a sexually dangerous or sexually violent person and other than a sex offender who lacks a fixed residence, shall report in person to the law enforcement agency with whom he or she last registered within one year from the date of last registration and every year thereafter and at such other times at the request of the law enforcement agency not to exceed 4 times a year.
