    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by changing
Section 11-9.3 as follows:
 
    (720 ILCS 5/11-9.3)
    Sec. 11-9.3. Presence within school zone by child sex
offenders prohibited.
    (a) It is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly be
present in any school building, on real property comprising any
school, or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a
school to transport students to or from school or a school
related activity when persons under the age of 18 are present
in the building, on the grounds or in the conveyance, unless
the offender is a parent or guardian of a student attending the
school and the parent or guardian is: (i) attending a
conference at the school with school personnel to discuss the
progress of his or her child academically or socially, (ii)
participating in child review conferences in which evaluation
and placement decisions may be made with respect to his or her
child regarding special education services, or (iii) attending
conferences to discuss other student issues concerning his or
her child such as retention and promotion and notifies the
principal of the school of his or her presence at the school
present in the building, on the grounds or in the conveyance or

superintendent or the school board or in the case of a private
school from the principal. In the case of a public school, if
permission is granted, the superintendent or school board
president must inform the principal of the school where the sex
offender will be present. Notification includes the nature of
the sex offender's visit and the hours in which the sex
offender will be present in the school. The sex offender is
responsible for notifying the principal's office when he or she
arrives on school property and when he or she departs from

vicinity of children, the sex offender has the duty to remain
under the direct supervision of a school official. A child sex
offender who violates this provision is guilty of a Class 4
felony.
    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to infringe upon
the constitutional right of a child sex offender to be present
in a school building that is used as a polling place for the
purpose of voting.

school and the parent or guardian is: (i) attending a
conference at the school with school personnel to discuss the
