(A) Any person required to register as a sex offender or sexual predator under the provisions of the Sex Offender Registration Act (ILCS Ch. 730, Act 150 §§ 1 et seq.) is prohibited from residing in or being employed by a facility within the village. The facility and its administrator may not admit or allow any person who is or is required to be registered as a sex offender or sexual predator (regardless of the address where registered) on the Sex Offender Registry maintained by the Illinois State Police to reside or remain overnight in the facility or to be employed by the facility. Each facility must conduct a search of the Sex Offender Registry for each person seeking admission to or employment with the facility, before the person is admitted or hired, in order to determine whether the person is a registered sex offender or sexual predator. Each facility must have in its possession evidence demonstrating that such a search has been made before allowing a person to be admitted as a resident or hired as an employee. The facility must notify the village within 48 hours of identifying a prospective resident or employee as a sex offender or sexual predator on the Sex Offender Registry. When the facility determines upon information or belief that a person residing or employed therein is a sex offender or sexual predator who is required to be registered but has failed to do so, the facility shall immediately notify the Frankfort Police Department of its suspicion.
(B) No person may reside in or be employed by a facility within the village if less than ten years have passed since he or she was convicted of or released from confinement for (i) a significant crime against a person or persons, including but not limited to assault or aggravated assault, battery or aggravated battery, deviate sexual assault, incest or aggravated incest, indecent liberties with a child, kidnapping or aggravated kidnapping, murder, rape or sale of narcotic drugs, (ii) a significant crime against property, including but not limited to arson, burglary, robbery or, if a penitentiary sentence could have been imposed, theft or (iii) a crime involving dishonesty or false statement. The facility and its administrator may not admit or allow any person who has been convicted of or released from confinement for such crimes to reside or remain overnight in the facility or to be employed by the facility if less than ten years have passed since the date of conviction or release. Each facility must conduct a criminal background check for each person seeking admission to or employment with the facility, before the person is admitted or hired, in order to determine whether the person has been convicted of or released from confinement for such a crime or crimes.
(C) To ensure that facilities are conducting Sex Offender Registry searches and criminal background checks, the village shall, upon 72 hours' advance notice, visit each facility semi-annually for the purpose of auditing such reports.
