    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by changing
Section 11-9.4 as follows:
 
    (720 ILCS 5/11-9.4)
    Sec. 11-9.4. Approaching, contacting, residing, or
communicating with a child within certain places by child sex
offenders prohibited.
    (a) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly be
present in any public park building or on real property
comprising any public park when persons under the age of 18 are
present in the building or on the grounds and to approach,
contact, or communicate with a child under 18 years of age,
unless the offender is a parent or guardian of a person under
18 years of age present in the building or on the grounds.
    (b) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly
loiter on a public way within 500 feet of a public park
building or real property comprising any public park while
persons under the age of 18 are present in the building or on
the grounds and to approach, contact, or communicate with a
child under 18 years of age, unless the offender is a parent or
guardian of a person under 18 years of age present in the
building or on the grounds.
    (b-5) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly
reside within 500 feet of a playground, child care institution,
day care center, part day child care facility, or a facility
providing programs or services exclusively directed toward
persons under 18 years of age. Nothing in this subsection (b-5)
prohibits a child sex offender from residing within 500 feet of
a playground or a facility providing programs or services
exclusively directed toward persons under 18 years of age if
the property is owned by the child sex offender and was
purchased before the effective date of this amendatory Act of
the 91st General Assembly. Nothing in this subsection (b-5)
prohibits a child sex offender from residing within 500 feet of
a child care institution, day care center, or part day child
care facility if the property is owned by the child sex
offender and was purchased before the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly.
    (b-6) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly
reside within 500 feet of the victim of the sex offense.
Nothing in this subsection (b-6) prohibits a child sex offender
from residing within 500 feet of the victim if the property in
which the child sex offender resides is owned by the child sex
offender and was purchased before the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.
    This subsection (b-6) does not apply if the victim of the
sex offense is 21 years of age or older.
    (c) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly
operate, manage, be employed by, volunteer at, be associated
with, or knowingly be present at any: (i) facility providing
programs or services exclusively directed towards persons
under the age of 18; (ii) day care center; (iii) part day child
care facility; (iv) child care institution, or (v) school
providing before and after school programs for children under
18 years of age. This does not prohibit a child sex offender
from owning the real property upon which the programs or
services are offered or upon which the day care center, part
day child care facility, child care institution, or school
providing before and after school programs for children under
18 years of age is located, provided the child sex offender
refrains from being present on the premises for the hours
during which: (1) the programs or services are being offered or
(2) the day care center, part day child care facility, child
care institution, or school providing before and after school
programs for children under 18 years of age is operated.
