FY 12 Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) Reallocation Funds Project

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority will develop programs designed to implement the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) portion of the Adam Walsh Act (42 U.S.C. § 16901, et seq.). The Adam Walsh Act is designed to protect children and adults from sexual exploitation and violent crime, prevent child abuse and child pornography, promote Internet safety, and honor the memory of Adam Walsh and other crime victims. SORNA was enacted to protect the public from convicted sex offenders by establishing a comprehensive national system for the registration and notification of those offenders. To implement the SORNA portion of the Adam Walsh Act, and substantially implement SORNA, the state goals are to provide statewide access to the Offender Watch Sex Offender Management Notification System and increase the collection of sex offender fees to support the system.
