Illinois Sex Offender Registration Act
Section 3(a) of the Sex Offender Registration Act, which requires sex offenders to disclose and periodically update information on their Internet identities and websites, survives intermediate scrutiny because it advances a substantial governmental interest of preventing sex offenses against children and protecting the public from danger of recidivist sex offenders, without chilling more speech than is necessary. Defendant failed to establish that Internet disclosure provision of Section 3(a) of Registration Act is facially unconstitutional. (GARMAN, THOMAS, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
