HB5218

Illinois HB5218 mandates supervised release for sex offenders in sentencing or connected communities unless specific conditions apply.

HB5218 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to require that individuals convicted of sex offenses and released to mandatory supervised release be placed in their sentencing community or a community of connection. Placement outside these areas is allowed only if verified public safety concerns, victim safety considerations, or unavailability of compliant housing or necessary resources exist. The Department of Corrections must develop an individualized reentry plan for each offender and submit an annual report to the General Assembly detailing placement patterns and reasons.
