(730 ILCS 154/40)
Sec. 40. Duration of registration.
A person who becomes subject to registration under this Article who has previously been subject to registration under this Article or under the Sex Offender Registration Act or similar registration requirements of other jurisdictions shall register for the period of his or her natural life if not confined to a penal institution,
hospital, or other institution or facility, and if confined, for
the period of his or her natural life after parole, discharge, or release from
any such facility. Any other
person who is required to register
under this Act shall be required to register for a period of 10 years after
conviction or adjudication if not confined to a penal institution, hospital
or any other
institution or facility, and if confined, for a period of 10 years after
parole, discharge or release from any such facility. A violent offender against youth who is
allowed to leave a county, State, or federal facility for the purposes of work
release, education, or overnight visitations shall be required
to register within 5 days of beginning such a program. Liability for
registration terminates at the expiration of 10 years from the date of
conviction or adjudication if not confined to a penal institution, hospital
or any other
institution or facility and if confined, at the expiration of 10 years from the
date of parole, discharge or release from any such facility, providing such
person does not, during that period, again
become
liable
to register under the provisions of this Act.
Reconfinement due to a violation of parole or other circumstances that relates to the original conviction or adjudication shall extend the period of registration to 10 years after final parole, discharge, or release. The Director of the Illinois State Police, consistent with administrative rules, shall
extend for 10 years the registration period of any violent offender against youth who fails to
comply with the provisions of this Act. The registration period for any violent offender against youth who fails to comply with any provision of the Act shall extend the period of registration by 10 years beginning from the first date of registration after the violation.
If the registration period is extended, the Illinois State Police shall send a registered letter to the law enforcement agency where the violent offender against youth resides within 3 days after the extension of the registration period. The violent offender against youth shall report to that law enforcement agency and sign for that letter. One copy of that letter shall be kept on file with the law enforcement agency of the jurisdiction where the violent offender against youth resides and one copy shall be returned to the Illinois State Police.
