Bill Summary

Amends the Sex Offender Registration Act. Provides that a person shall be required to wear an approved electronic monitoring device for the first 5 years of the person's period of registration if the person is: (1) a sex offender convicted of an offense that would qualify the person as a sexual predator; or (2) required to register as a sex offender and: (A) was convicted of criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, criminal sexual abuse, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or ritualized abuse of a child, when the victim was under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense; and (B) used force or the threat of force in the commission of the offense. Provides that if the person fails to register or violates laws that regulate sex offenders, the person shall be required to wear the approved electronic monitoring device for an additional 3 years. Provides that the Illinois State Police and the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction shall monitor the person required to wear an approved electronic monitoring device to ensure compliance with this provision.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Sex Offender Registration Act to require certain sex offenders to wear an approved electronic monitoring device for the first 5 years of their registration period. Specifically, the bill mandates electronic monitoring for two categories of sex offenders: (1) those convicted of an offense that qualifies them as a sexual predator, and (2) those required to register as a sex offender who were convicted of specific sexual offenses against a minor under 18 years old, involving force or threat of force. The bill defines an "approved electronic monitoring device" by referencing the Unified Code of Corrections. Additionally, if the offender fails to register or violates sex offender laws, they will be required to wear the electronic monitoring device for an additional 3 years. The purpose of this legislation appears to be enhancing public safety by closely tracking certain sex offenders through electronic monitoring, with a focus on protecting minors from sexual predators and repeat offenders.
