Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(730 ILCS 154/85) Sec. 85. Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database. (a) The Illinois State Police
shall establish and maintain a Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database for
the
purpose of identifying violent offenders against youth and making that information
available to the persons specified in Section 95. 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 Illinois State Police shall examine its LEADS database for
persons registered as violent offenders against youth under this Act and
shall identify those who are violent offenders against youth and shall add all the
information, including photographs if available, on those violent offenders against youth to
the Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
Database. (b) The Illinois State Police must make the information contained in
the
Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database accessible on the Internet by means of a
hyperlink
labeled "Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Information" on the Illinois State Police's World Wide Web home
page. The Illinois State Police must update that information as it deems
necessary. The Illinois State Police may require that a person who seeks access to
the violent offender against youth
information submit biographical information about himself or
herself before
permitting access to the violent offender against youth information. The Illinois 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 Illinois State Police must develop and conduct training to educate all those entities involved in the Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Program.
(d) The Illinois State Police shall commence the duties prescribed in the Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Act within 12 months after the effective date of this Act.

| for each offense requiring registration; and
|
|
(3) biographical data, such as age of the registrant,
|
| race of the registrant, and age of the victim.
