AI Summary
- Creates a publicly accessible online registry of "persistent domestic violence offenders" maintained by the Illinois State Police, listing offenders' names, dates of birth, conviction dates, counties of conviction, and current photographs
- Requires courts to order registration for anyone convicted of an offense against a domestic abuse victim who has at least one prior conviction for domestic abuse
- Imposes a $150 registration fee on offenders, with $50 retained by the court for administration and $100 sent to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for family violence prevention grants
- Registry duration scales with number of prior convictions: 5 years (1 prior), 7 years (2 priors), 10 years (3 priors), or 20 years (4+ priors) from the most recent conviction date
- Applies only to offenses committed after the bill's effective date, though prior convictions from before that date can still trigger registration requirements
