Sec. 20. Release of violent offender against youth; duties of the Court.
Any violent
offender against youth who is released on
probation or
discharged upon payment of a fine because of the commission of one of the
offenses defined in subsection (b) of Section 5 of this Act, shall, prior
to such release be informed of his or her duty to register under this Act
by the Court in which he or she was convicted. The Court shall also inform
any person who must register that if he or she establishes a residence
outside of the State of Illinois,
is employed outside of the State of Illinois, or attends school outside of
the
State of Illinois,
he or she must register in the new state
within 5 days after establishing the residence, beginning employment, or
beginning school. The Court shall require
the person to read and sign such form as may be required by the Illinois State Police stating that the duty to register and the procedure for
registration has been explained to him or her and that he or she understands
the duty to register and the procedure for registration. The Court shall
further advise the person in writing that the failure to register or other
violation of this Act shall result in
probation revocation.
The Court shall obtain information about
where the person expects to reside, work, and attend school upon his or
her release, and shall report the
information to the Illinois State Police. The Court shall
give one copy of
the form to the person and retain the original in the court records. The
Illinois State Police shall notify the law enforcement
agencies having
jurisdiction where the person expects to reside, work and attend school
upon his or her release.
