HB3887 Summary

• Changes penalties for failure to register or providing false information from Class 3 felony (first offense) and Class 2 felony (subsequent offense) to Class B misdemeanor (first offense) and Class A misdemeanor (subsequent offense).

• Requires Illinois State Police to send a registered letter to the offender (in addition to law enforcement) when registration period is extended due to non-compliance.

• Modifies extended registration period for non-compliance to equal the actual length of time the person was not registered, rather than an automatic 10-year extension.
