Sex offender registration
(Mell, D-Chicago; Martinez, D-Chicago) requires a sex offender or sexual predator, who has never previously been required to register under this Act, to register if the person has been convicted of any felony offense after July 1, 2011. A person who previously was required to register under this Act for a period of 10 years and successfully completed that registration period must also register if: (1) the person has been convicted of any felony offense after July 1, 2011; and (2) the offense for which the 10 year-registration was served currently requires a registration period of more than 10 years. Passed both chambers.
