AI Summary
This bill requires the State Police to update the Sex Offender Registry at least every 15 business days, rather than the previous requirement of every three months. The bill also outlines the distribution of information from the registry to various law enforcement agencies, schools, community organizations, and other entities. It specifies that information from the registry is not subject to the state's Freedom of Information Act, but that the State Police must maintain and make the list of lifetime registrants publicly available at least every 15 business days. The bill also allows residents to petition the circuit court to access information about registered offenders in their county, with certain limitations to protect victim privacy.
