A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning finance.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 1. Public Act 101-571 purported to transfer moneys from the Sex Offender Investigation Fund to the Offender Registration Fund, but it did so by amending a statute that had been repealed, which rendered the purported transfer a nullity. The purpose of this Act is to effectuate the transfer of those moneys.

Section 5. 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 Department of 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 101st 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. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the Offender Registration Fund received under this Section shall be used by the Department of State Police for purposes authorized under this Section.
