Summary

The bill adds a new rule to Illinois' corrections code requiring individuals convicted of a sex offense and released to mandatory supervised release to be placed, whenever possible, in the county where they were sentenced or in a community where they have verified connections. Exceptions are allowed only if the Department of Corrections documents public safety concerns, victim safety, lack of suitable housing, or insufficient treatment and supervision resources. The Department must also create a personalized re‑entry plan and report placement data to the General Assembly each year.
