(A) FPD may maintain a local registry of sex offenders registered under this subchapter. The village may maintain a database of sex offenders distinct from any registry of sex offenders maintained by the state. Registration under any registration program maintained by the state does not exempt a sex offender from registration under this subchapter.
(B) The village will make available and disseminate sex offender registration information as authorized by state law on the FPD’s own website on the Internet for any sex offender classified as a Level II or Level III sex offender by the State Department of Corrections. Inclusion of a sex offender in FPD’s data base and website is based solely on the fact of a prior conviction and not based on any assessment of the current degree of dangerousness posed by any particular sex offender.
(C) The website will conspicuously include the following statement: “The village’s decision to post sex offenders on this website is based on the fact that the sex offender was convicted of a sex offense in the past. The village has not assessed the specific risk posed by any particular individual sex offender or class of sex offenders and has made no determination regarding the current dangerousness or degree of dangerousness of any individual sex offender or class of sex offenders. The main purpose of providing this data on the Internet is to make the information more easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual.”
