A state lawmaker says it is time to change Illinois law that allows people who record or transmit video of minors without authorization to avoid registering as sex offenders.
State Senator Darby Hills said Senate Bill 2381 would require people to register as sex offenders if they exploit a minor without unauthorized recording.
Hills said she prosecuted cases that involved child victims when she was an Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County.
Despite bipartisan support, Senate Bill 2381 did not pass the General Assembly last spring. The bill was reassigned to the Criminal Law Committee last month.
