(Under Section 5a, between January 1, 2000, and January 15, 2000, an individual registered under the Act who was not incarcerated was required to report in person to the SOS and have his or her digitized photo taken for use on his or her operator(s or chauffeur(s license or official State personal identification card. A registered individual who was incarcerated on January 15, 2000, must report to the SOS within 10 days after his or her release.)
The bill would take effect on May 1, 2005.

FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have a minimal fiscal impact on the Department of State Police. Although the bill would make adjustments to the Sex Offenders Registration Act, the Department already has the organization and resources to handle the changes.
