1 AN ACT in relation to sex offenders.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
5 changing Sections 5-6-2 and 5-8-1 and adding Article 17 to
6 Chapter III as follows:
7 (730 ILCS 5/Chap. III, Art. 17 heading new)
8 ARTICLE 17. LIFETIME SUPERVISION OF
9 SEX OFFENDERS
10 (730 ILCS 5/3-17-1 new)
11 Sec. 3-17-1. Short title. This Article may be cited as
12 the Sex Offender Lifetime Supervision Law.
13 (730 ILCS 5/3-17-5 new)
14 Sec. 3-17-5. Legislative declaration. The General
15 Assembly finds that the majority of persons who commit sex
16 offenses, if incarcerated or supervised without treatment,
17 will continue to present a danger to the public when released
18 from incarceration and supervision. The General Assembly also
19 finds that keeping all sex offenders in lifetime
20 incarceration imposes an unacceptably high cost in both State
21 dollars and loss of human potential. The General Assembly
22 further finds that some sex offenders respond well to
23 treatment and can function as safe, responsible, and
24 contributing members of society, so long as they receive
25 treatment and supervision. The General Assembly declares that
26 a program under which sex offenders may receive treatment and
27 supervision for the rest of their lives, if necessary, is
28 necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the State.

8 (a) The Department shall establish an intensive

12 Article. In addition, the Prisoner Review Board may require a
13 person, as a condition of parole or mandatory supervised
14 release, to participate in the intensive supervision parole

33 supervision parole or mandatory supervised release program
-7- LRB093 03902 RLC 03937 b
1 established under this Section.
2 (c) The Department shall require that sex offenders and

10 or other person and the parole or supervising officer,
11 monitored curfew, home visitation, employment visitation and

13 and monitoring, including physiological monitoring, and
14 payment of restitution. In addition, the intensive
15 supervision parole or mandatory supervised release program
16 shall be designed to minimize the risk to the public to the
17 greatest extent possible.
18 (d) The Director of Corrections shall establish and
19 enforce standards and criteria for administration of the

23 Sec. 3-17-25. Release from incarceration; parole or
24 mandatory supervised release; conditions.
25 (a) (1) On completion of the minimum period of
26 incarceration specified in a sex offender's indeterminate
27 sentence, less any good conduct credits that the sex offender
28 received under Section 3-6-3, the Prisoner Review Board shall
29 schedule a hearing to determine whether the sex offender may
30 be released on parole or mandatory supervised release. In
31 determining whether to release the sex offender on parole or
32 mandatory supervised release, the Prisoner Review Board shall
33 determine whether the sex offender has successfully
-8- LRB093 03902 RLC 03937 b
1 progressed in treatment and would not pose an undue threat to
2 the community if released under appropriate treatment and
3 monitoring requirements and whether there is a strong and
4 reasonable probability that the person will not thereafter
5 violate the law. The Department shall make recommendations to
6 the Prisoner Review Board concerning whether the sex offender
7 should be released on parole or mandatory supervised release
8 and the level of treatment and monitoring that should be
9 imposed as a condition of parole or mandatory supervised
10 release. The recommendation shall be based on the criteria
11 established by the Management Board under Section 3-17-40.
12 (2) If a sex offender is released on parole or
13 mandatory supervised release under this Section, the sex
14 offender's sentence to incarceration shall continue and
15 shall not be deemed discharged until such time as the
16 Prisoner Review Board may discharge the sex offender from
17 parole or mandatory supervised release under subsection
18 (c) of this Section. The period of parole or mandatory
19 supervised release for any sex offender convicted of
20 first degree murder or a Class X felony shall be an
21 indeterminate term of at least 20 years and a maximum of
22 the remainder of the sex offender's natural life. The
23 period of parole or mandatory supervised release for any
24 sex offender convicted of a Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 felony
25 shall be an indeterminate term of at least 10 years and a
26 maximum of the remainder of the sex offender's natural
27 life.
28 (3) If the Prisoner Review Board does not release
29 the sex offender on parole or mandatory supervised
30 release under paragraph (1) of this subsection (a), the
31 Prisoner Review Board shall review such denial at least
32 once every 3 years until it determines that the sex
33 offender meets the criteria for release on parole or
34 mandatory supervised release specified in paragraph (1)
-9- LRB093 03902 RLC 03937 b
1 of this subsection (a). At each review, the Department
2 shall make recommendations, based on the criteria
3 established by the Management Board under Section
4 3-17-40, concerning whether the sex offender should be
5 released on parole or mandatory supervised release.
6 (b) (1) As a condition of release on parole or mandatory
7 supervised release under this Section, a sex offender shall
8 participate in the intensive supervision parole or mandatory
9 supervised release program created by the Department under
10 Section 3-17-20. Participation in the intensive supervision
11 parole or mandatory supervised release program shall continue
12 until the sex offender can demonstrate that he or she has
13 successfully progressed in treatment and would not pose an
14 undue threat to the community if paroled or released on
15 mandatory supervision at a lower level of supervision, at
16 which time the sex offender's parole or supervising officer
17 may petition the Prisoner Review Board for a reduction in the
18 sex offender's level of supervision. The sex offender's
19 parole or supervising officer and treatment provider shall
20 make recommendations to the Prisoner Review Board concerning
21 whether the sex offender has met the requirements specified
22 in this subsection (b) such that the level of parole or
23 mandatory supervised release supervision should be reduced.
24 The recommendations shall be based on the criteria
25 established by the Management Board under Section 3-17-40.
26 (2) Following reduction in a sex offender's level of
27 parole or mandatory supervised release supervision under
28 paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), the sex offender's
29 parole or supervising officer may return the sex offender
30 to the intensive supervision parole or mandatory
31 supervised release program if the parole or supervising
32 officer determines that an increased level of supervision
33 is necessary to protect the public safety. The parole or
34 supervising officer shall notify the Prisoner Review
-10- LRB093 03902 RLC 03937 b
1 Board as soon as possible after returning the sex
2 offender to the intensive supervision parole or mandatory
3 supervised release program. To subsequently reduce the
4 sex offender's level of supervision, the parole or
5 supervising officer may petition the Prisoner Review
6 Board as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection
7 (b).
8 (c) (1) On completion of 20 years on parole or mandatory
9 supervised release for any sex offender convicted of first
10 degree murder or a Class X felony or on completion of 10
11 years of parole or mandatory supervised release for any sex
12 offender convicted of a Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 felony, the
13 Prisoner Review Board shall schedule a hearing to determine
14 whether the sex offender may be discharged from parole or
15 mandatory supervised release. In determining whether to
16 discharge the sex offender from parole or mandatory
17 supervised release, the Prisoner Review Board shall determine
18 whether the sex offender has successfully progressed in
19 treatment and would not pose an undue threat to the community
20 if allowed to live in the community without treatment or
21 supervision. The sex offender's parole or supervising officer
22 and treatment provider shall make recommendations to the
23 Prisoner Review Board concerning whether the sex offender has
24 met the requirements specified in this subsection (c) such
25 that the sex offender should be discharged from parole or
26 mandatory supervised release. The recommendations shall be
27 based on the criteria established by the Management Board
28 under Section 3-17-40.
29 (2) If the Prisoner Review Board does not discharge
30 the sex offender from parole or mandatory supervised
31 release under paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), the
32 Prisoner Review Board shall review such denial at least
33 once every 3 years until it determines that the sex
34 offender meets the criteria for discharge specified in
-11- LRB093 03902 RLC 03937 b
1 paragraph (1) of this subsection (c). At each review, the
2 sex offender's parole or supervising officer and
3 treatment provider shall make recommendations, based on
4 the criteria established by the Management Board under
5 Section 3-17-40, concerning whether the sex offender
6 should be discharged.
7 (d) In determining whether to release a sex offender on
8 parole or mandatory supervised release, reduce the level of
9 supervision, or discharge a sex offender from parole or
10 mandatory supervised release under this Section, the Prisoner
11 Review Board shall consider the recommendations of the
12 Department and the sex offender's parole or supervising
13 officer and treatment provider. If the Prisoner Review Board
14 chooses not to follow the recommendations made, it shall make
15 findings on the record in support of its decision.

19 intensive supervision probation program established under

22 Court shall require that sex offenders and any other persons
23 participating in the intensive supervision probation program

9 Sec. 3-17-35. Probation; conditions; release.
10 (a) If the court sentences a sex offender to probation,
11 in addition to any conditions imposed under Section 5-6-3,

12 community without treatment or supervision. The sex
13 offender's probation officer and treatment provider shall
14 make recommendations to the court concerning whether the sex
15 offender has met the requirements of this Section such that
16 he or she should be discharged from probation.
17 (c) (1) In determining whether to discharge a sex
