Juvenile Sex Offenders Offered a Chance

SB 121 – Public Act 95-0658

Sponsored by Senator Raoul and Representative Fritchey, Senate Bill 121 corrects an anomaly in Illinois law that defines sexual “predator” (all of whom must register for life) to include children as young as 12, who must register for life as sex offenders. This bill allows youth on a sex offender registry to petition for removal two years after being on the registry for misdemeanors or five years for felonies.
