years before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
97th General Assembly, and who have been released from a penal

from the first degree murderer and submitted to the Department
of State Police. The first degree murderer described in this

of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, he or she
must register within 90 days of the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly or within 3 days
after having been notified of the duty to register by the
Department of Corrections or any law enforcement officer,
whichever is sooner. A first degree murderer as defined in this
subsection (a) who is on parole, mandatory supervised release,
probation, or conditional discharge for a conviction for any
felony or misdemeanor offense shall be notified of his or her
duty to register by his or her supervising officer. The
supervising officer shall require the person to read and sign
such form as may be required by the Department of State Police
stating that the duty to register and the procedure for
registration have been explained to him or her and that he or
she understands the procedure for registration. He or she shall
register within 3 days after notification by his or her

maintained by the first degree murderer or to which the first
degree murderer has uploaded any content or posted any messages
or information, extensions of the time period for registering
as provided in this Section and, if an extension was granted,
the reason why the extension was granted and the date the first

living within 5 miles of an identified address. The Department
of State Police must update that information as it deems
necessary. The Department of State Police may require that a
person who seeks access to the first degree murderer
information submit biographical information about himself or
herself before permitting access to the first degree murderer
information. The Department of State Police must promulgate
rules in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure
Act to implement this subsection (b) and those rules must
include procedures to ensure that the information in the
