Provides that it is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly loiter on a public way within 1,000 (rather than 500) feet of a school building or real property comprising any school while persons under the age of 18 are present in the building or on the grounds, unless the offender is a parent or guardian of a student present in the building or on the grounds or has permission to be present from the superintendent or the school board or in the case of a private school from the principal. Provides that it is unlawful for a child sex offender to knowingly reside within 1,000 (rather than 500) feet of a school building or real property comprising any school that persons under the age of 18 attend. Permits a child sex offender to reside at least 500 feet to within 1,000 feet of a school building or the real property comprising any school that persons under 18 attend if the property is owned by the child sex offender and was purchased before the effective date of this amendatory Act.
