|
|
| 1 |
| AN ACT concerning sex offender management.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Sex Offender Management Board Act is amended |
| 5 |
| by changing Section 5 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (20 ILCS 4026/5)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5. Legislative declaration. The General Assembly |
| 8 |
| hereby declares
that the comprehensive evaluation, |
| 9 |
| identification, counseling, and continued
monitoring of sex |
| 10 |
| offenders who are subject to the supervision of the
criminal or |
| 11 |
| juvenile justice systems or mental health systems is
necessary |
| 12 |
| in
order to work toward the
elimination of recidivism by such |
| 13 |
| offenders. Therefore, the General Assembly
hereby creates a |
| 14 |
| program which standardizes the evaluation, identification,
|
| 15 |
| counseling, and continued monitoring of sex offenders at each |
| 16 |
| stage of the
criminal or juvenile justice systems or mental |
| 17 |
| health systems so
that
those offenders will curtail
|
| 18 |
| recidivistic behavior and the protection of victims and |
| 19 |
| potential victims will
be enhanced. The General Assembly |
| 20 |
| recognizes that some sex offenders
cannot or will not respond |
| 21 |
| to counseling and that, in creating the program
described in |
| 22 |
| this Act, the General Assembly does not intend to imply that
|
| 23 |
| all sex offenders can be successful in counseling.
