Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In this Part, the terms "Board", "sex offender", "sex
				  offense", "management", and "sexually motivated" have the meanings ascribed to
				  them in Section 10 of the Act. In addition, the following definitions
				  apply:
"Act": Sex Offender Management Board Act [ 20 ILCS 4026
				  ].
"Case management": The coordination and implementation of the
				  cluster of activities directed toward supervising, treating and managing the
				  behavior of individual sex offenders.
"Evaluation": The systematic collection and analysis of
				  psychological, behavioral and social information; the process by which
				  information is gathered, analyzed and documented.
"Informed assent": Compliance; a declaration of willingness
				  to do something in compliance with a request; acquiescence; agreement. The use
				  of the term "assent" rather than "consent" in this Part recognizes that sex
				  offenders are not voluntary clients and that their choices are therefore more
				  limited. "Informed" means that a person's assent is based on a full disclosure
				  of the facts needed to make the decision intelligently; e.g., knowledge of
				  risks involved, alternatives.
"Informed consent": "Consent" means voluntary agreement or
				  approval to do something in compliance with a request. "Informed" means that a
				  person's consent is based on a full disclosure of the facts needed to make the
				  decision intelligently; e.g., knowledge of risks involved, alternatives.
"Parole": Parole or mandatory supervised release.
"Polygraph": The employment of instrumentation, as defined by
				  the Illinois Detection of Deception Examiners Act [ 225 ILCS 430 ], used for
				  the purpose of detecting deception or verifying truth of statements of a person
				  under criminal justice supervision and/or treatment for the commission of sex
				  offenses. A clinical polygraph examination is specifically intended to assist
				  in the treatment and supervision of convicted sex offenders. Clinical
				  polygraphs include specific-issue, disclosure and periodic or maintenance
				  examinations. Clinical polygraphs may also be referred to as post-conviction
				  polygraphs.
"Professional license": A license issued by a State
				  governmental body to practice a particular health or mental health
				  profession.
"Sex offense specific": Relating to the problem of sexual
				  offense behavior.
"Supervising officer": The probation officer, parole agent or
				  conditional release staff responsible for the behavioral monitoring of sex
				  offenders. In addition, any person employed by the Department of Human Services
				  (DHS) or by an entity that contracted with DHS to supervise sexually violent
				  persons on conditional release.
"Treatment": Sexual abuser-specific treatment is designed to
				  assist clients with effectively managing thoughts, fantasies, feelings,
				  attitudes and behaviors associated with their potential to sexually abuse or
				  their risk for sexual re-offense and to develop a prosocial lifestyle that is
				  inconsistent with offending.
