 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 123  by  replacing
 3    the title with the following:
 4        "AN ACT in relation to sex offender management."; and
 5    by  replacing  everything  after the enacting clause with the
 6    following:

 8    Sex Offender Management Board Act.
 9        Section 5.  Legislative declaration. The General Assembly
10    hereby    declares   that   the   comprehensive   evaluation,
11    identification, counseling, and continued monitoring  of  sex
12    offenders  who are subject to the supervision of the criminal
13    or juvenile justice systems is necessary  in  order  to  work
14    toward  the  elimination  of  recidivism  by  such offenders.
15    Therefore, the General  Assembly  hereby  creates  a  program
16    which    standardizes    the    evaluation,   identification,
17    counseling, and continued monitoring of sex offenders at each
18    stage of the criminal or juvenile  justice  systems  so  that
19    those  offenders  will  curtail recidivistic behavior and the
20    protection of victims and potential victims will be enhanced.
21    The General  Assembly  recognizes  that  some  sex  offenders
                            -2-            LRB9001517RCmbam01
 1    cannot  or  will  not  respond  to  counseling  and  that, in
 2    creating the program  described  in  this  Act,  the  General

 8        guidelines and standards developed under paragraph (2) of
 9        this  subsection  (f) and for tracking offenders who have

13        offender adherence to prescribed behavioral changes.  The
14        results  of  the tracking and behavioral monitoring shall
15        be a part of any analysis made under this paragraph (4).

23    completion of the duties prescribed in paragraphs (1) and (2)
24    of subsection (f) of Section  15,  the  Board  shall  make  a
25    report  to  the  General  Assembly regarding the standardized
26    procedures  developed  under  this  Act,   the   standardized
27    programs   developed   under   this   Act,   the   plans  for
28    implementation developed under this Act, and  the  plans  for
29    research and analysis developed under this Act.
