Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois State Police Act. Creates a registry of persistent domestic violence offenders within the Illinois State Police. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall maintain the registry based upon information supplied to the Illinois State Police by court clerks and information available to the Illinois State Police from the Department of Corrections and local law enforcement agencies. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall make the registry available for public inquiry on the Internet. Provides that the registry must consist of the persistent domestic violence offender's name, date of birth, conviction date, county of convictions, and a current photograph of the persistent domestic violence offender. Provides that, if a person is convicted of an offense committed against a domestic abuse victim and the person convicted has at least one prior conviction for an offense committed against a domestic abuse victim, then the court shall, upon proof of any prior convictions committed against a domestic abuse victim, order the person to register as a persistent domestic violence offender. Provides that a defendant who is required to register must be assessed a registration fee in the amount of $150. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall remove from the registry the name and other identifying information of a persistent domestic violence offender after a specified number of years following the defendant's most recent conviction.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a registry of "persistent domestic violence offenders" within the Illinois State Police, meaning individuals convicted of an offense against a domestic abuse victim (defined as a family or household member experiencing abuse) who also have at least one prior conviction for a similar offense. The Illinois State Police will maintain this registry using information from court clerks, the Department of Corrections, and local law enforcement, and it will be accessible to the public online, containing the offender's name, date of birth, conviction details, and photograph, but not their address or identification numbers. Courts will be required to order individuals to register upon proof of qualifying prior convictions, and those required to register will pay a $150 fee, with a portion supporting family violence prevention services. The registry will remove an offender's information after a specified number of years following their most recent conviction, with the duration depending on the number of prior convictions. This provision applies to offenses committed on or after the bill's effective date, though prior convictions can be from before that date.
