HB3866 amends the Illinois Criminal Code to prohibit child sex offenders from knowingly being present within 500 feet of schools, public parks, playgrounds, day care centers, and other facilities serving children under 18. Exceptions are made if the offender owns the property and purchased it before certain dates. The bill also restricts offenders from loitering near schools and parks, operating certain businesses, and communicating with minors online.
