 4        Section  5.   The  Illinois  Municipal Code is amended by
 5    adding Section 11-1-12 as follows:

 6        (65 ILCS 5/11-1-12 new)
 7        Sec.  11-1-12.  Local  retail   theft   ordinance.    The
 8    corporate  authorities  of a  municipality may, by ordinance,
 9    declare retail theft, as defined  by  the  Criminal  Code  of
10    1961,  to be unlawful.  The ordinance, however, may not apply
11    to any individual who has previously been  convicted  of  any
12    type  of theft, robbery, armed robbery, burglary, residential
13    burglary, possession of burglary tools, or home invasion,  or
14    in any case where the theft is of property with a full retail
15    value in excess of $150.
16        The corporate authorities of any municipality that adopts
17    a  retail  theft  ordinance  under  this Section shall keep a
18    record  of  all  individuals  who  are  convicted  under  the
19    ordinance and shall make  the  record  available  for  public
20    inspection  and  copying  on  the  payment  of  the  cost  of
21    reproducing  the  record.  The municipality must, in a timely
22    manner,  furnish  a  copy  of  all  retail  theft   ordinance
23    convictions  to  the  office  of the State's  Attorney of the
24    county in which the municipality is located.
