Section 730 ILCS 148/10 - Statewide Arsonist Database(a) The Illinois State Police shall establish and maintain a Statewide Arsonist Database for the purpose of identifying arsonists and making that information available to law enforcement and the general public. For every person convicted of a violation of an arson offense on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Statewide Arsonist Database shall contain information relating to each arsonist for a period of 10 years after conviction for an arson offense. The information may include the arsonist's name, date of birth, offense or offenses requiring inclusion in the Statewide Arsonist Database, the conviction date and county of each such offense, and such other identifying information as the Illinois State Police deems necessary to identify the arsonist, but shall not include the social security number of the arsonist. The registry may include a photograph of the arsonist.(b) The Illinois State Police may adopt rules in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to implement this Section and those rules must include procedures to ensure that the information in the database is accurate, and that the information in the database reflects any changes based on the reversal of a conviction for an offense requiring inclusion in the Statewide Arsonist Database, or a court order requiring the sealing or expungement of records relating to the offense. A certified copy of such an order shall be deemed prima facie true and correct and shall be sufficient to require the immediate amendment or removal of any person's information from the Statewide Arsonist Database by the Illinois State Police.(c) The Illinois State Police must have the Statewide Arsonist Database created and ready to comply with the requirements of this Section no later than July 1, 2025.
