Committee adopts strike-and-insert for House Bill 4138 adding solicitation of a minor and intimate-image disclosures to registration list
Summary
The committee adopted a strike-and-insert committee substitute for House Bill 4138 that adds solicitation of a minor and nonconsensual disclosure of intimate images to the list of offenses requiring registration (transcript redacts one registration term), adds indecent exposure to a minor, and removes redundant extortion language; the committee also adopted a title amendment and reported the bill to the full Senate.
A legislative committee adopted a strike-and-insert committee substitute for House Bill 4138 that expands the list of offenses requiring registration and then voted to report the amended bill to the full Senate.
Counsel explained the strike-and-insert, saying the amendment "adds solicitation of a minor and the nonconsensual disclosure of intimate images to the offenses that require a person to register as a *** offender." Counsel said the amendment removes language relating to extortion because the code already requires registration for that offense, and it also adds indecent exposure to a minor as an offense requiring registration. Counsel noted that the indecent-exposure provision was contemplated in a separate originating bill that is not yet law, and that the House will need to either pass that originating bill or strike the indecent-exposure section.
The vice chair moved to adopt the strike-and-insert amendment; the motion was adopted by voice vote and the chair declared the amendment adopted. The vice chair then moved that the bill as amended be reported to the full Senate with the recommendation that it pass; that motion was also adopted by voice vote. The committee subsequently adopted a title amendment by voice vote.
Why it matters: The amendment would expand registration requirements to include solicitation of a minor and the nonconsensual disclosure of intimate images and would add indecent exposure to a minor to the registration list. The transcript redacts one registration term ("***"), so the committee record does not show the full word used in the committee explanation. The committee recorded no roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript.
