Reforming Florida’s Sex Offender Registry Laws

IL: New law bans registrants from working at State Fair

FAC Contributor #3 7 Comments min read

Under Senate Bill 3019, a child sex offender would not be able to work at a carnival, amusement enterprise or county or state fair.

During the 2021 Illinois State Fair, a convicted child sex offender was discovered to be working a children’s ride. A legal loophole in the past law left the Illinois State Fair in a state of ambiguity. Senate Bill 3019 closes that loophole.

“We are showing our commitment to protecting youth and families when they visit the fair,” Turner said. “I am grateful that we came together to work on this commonsense solution to ensure that our state fair remains a great family-friendly destination.”

Senate Bill 3019 was signed into law last Friday and will take effect on January 1, 2023.
