Section 45. The Intergovernmental Missing Child Recovery
Act of 1984 is amended by changing Section 6 as follows:
(325 ILCS 40/6) (from Ch. 23, par. 2256)
Sec. 6. The Illinois State Police shall:
(a) Utilize the statewide Law Enforcement Agencies Data
System (LEADS) for the purpose of effecting an immediate law
enforcement response to reports of missing children. The
Illinois State Police shall implement an automated data
exchange system to compile, to maintain and to make available
for dissemination to Illinois and out-of-State law enforcement
agencies, data which can assist appropriate agencies in
recovering missing children.
(b) Establish contacts and exchange information regarding
lost, missing or runaway children with nationally recognized
"missing person and runaway" service organizations and monitor
national research and publicize important developments.
(c) Provide a uniform reporting format for the entry of
pertinent information regarding reports of missing children
into LEADS.
(d) Develop and implement a policy whereby a statewide or

regional alert would be used in situations relating to the
disappearances of children, based on criteria and in a format
established by the Illinois State Police. Such a format shall
include, but not be limited to, the age and physical
description of the missing child and the suspected
circumstances of the disappearance.
(e) Notify all law enforcement agencies that reports of
missing persons shall be entered as soon as the minimum level
of data specified by the Illinois State Police is available to
the reporting agency and that no waiting period for entry of
such data exists.
(f) Provide a procedure for prompt confirmation of the
receipt and entry of the missing child report into LEADS to the
parent or guardian of the missing child.
(g) Compile and retain information regarding missing
children in a separate data file, in a manner that allows such
information to be used by law enforcement and other agencies
deemed appropriate by the Director, for investigative
purposes. Such files shall be updated to reflect and include
information relating to the disposition of the case.
(h) Compile and maintain an historic data repository
relating to missing children in order (1) to develop and
improve techniques utilized by law enforcement agencies when
responding to reports of missing children and (2) to provide a
factual and statistical base for research that would address
the problem of missing children.

(i) Create a quality control program to assess the monitor
timeliness of entries of missing children reports into LEADS
and conduct performance audits of all entering agencies.
(j) Prepare a periodic information bulletin concerning
missing children who it determines may be present in this
State, compiling such bulletin from information contained in
both the National Crime Information Center computer and from
reports, alerts and other information entered into LEADS or
otherwise compiled and retained by the Illinois State Police
pursuant to this Act. The bulletin shall indicate the name,
age, physical description, suspected circumstances of
disappearance if that information is available, a photograph
if one is available, the name of the law enforcement agency
investigating the case, and such other information as the
Director considers appropriate concerning each missing child
who the Illinois State Police determines may be present in
this State. The Illinois State Police shall send a copy of each
periodic information bulletin to the State Board of Education
for its use in accordance with Section 2-3.48 of the School
Code. The Illinois State Police shall provide a copy of the
bulletin, upon request, to law enforcement agencies of this or
any other state or of the federal government, and may provide a
copy of the bulletin, upon request, to other persons or
entities, if deemed appropriate by the Director, and may
establish limitations on its use and a reasonable fee for so
providing the same, except that no fee shall be charged for

providing the periodic information bulletin to the State Board
of Education, appropriate units of local government, State
agencies, or law enforcement agencies of this or any other
state or of the federal government.
(k) Provide for the entry into LEADS of the names and
addresses of sex offenders as defined in the Sex Offender
Registration Act who are required to register under that Act.
The information shall be immediately accessible to law
enforcement agencies and peace officers of this State or any
other state or of the federal government. Similar information
may be requested from any other state or of the federal
government for purposes of this Act.
(l) Provide for the entry into LEADS of the names and
addresses of violent offenders against youth as defined in the
Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registration Act
who are required to register under that Act. The information
shall be immediately accessible to law enforcement agencies
and peace officers of this State or any other state or of the
federal government. Similar information may be requested from
any other state or of the federal government for purposes of
this Act.

Section 50. The Sex Offender Registration Act is amended
by changing Section 11 as follows:

(730 ILCS 150/11)
Sec. 11. Offender Registration Fund. There is created the
Offender Registration Fund (formerly known as the Sex Offender
Registration Fund). Moneys in the Fund shall be used to cover
costs incurred by the criminal justice system to administer
this Article and the Murderer and Violent Offender Against
Youth Registration Act, and for purposes as authorized under
this Section 5-9-1.15 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The
Illinois State Police shall establish and promulgate rules and
procedures regarding the administration of this Fund. Fifty
percent of the moneys in the Fund shall be allocated by the
Department for sheriffs' offices and police departments. The
remaining moneys in the Fund received under this amendatory
Act of the 101st General Assembly shall be allocated to the
Illinois State Police for education and administration of the
Act.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to
any other transfers that may be provided by law, on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
Assembly, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State
Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall
transfer the remaining balance from the Sex Offender
Investigation Fund to the Offender Registration Fund. Upon
completion of the transfers, the Sex Offender Investigation
Fund is dissolved, and any future deposits into the Sex
Offender Investigation Fund and any outstanding obligations or

liabilities of the Sex Offender Investigation Fund pass to the
Offender Registration Fund.
