Provides that the State's Attorney must receive 21 days notice prior to the disposition of the motion and may present evidence in opposition to the requested relief or otherwise demonstrate why the motion should be denied. Provides that the court may grant the motion if it finds that the offender meets the criteria set forth in these provisions and that the removal of the registration requirement will not conflict with federal law. Provides that if the court denies the motion, the offender may not petition again for removal from the requirement to register as a sex offender until 2 years has elapsed following denial of the motion. Provides that if the court grants the motion, and the offender provides the Department of State Police with a certified copy of the court's order removing the requirement that he or she register as a sex offender, the registration requirement may not apply to the person and the Department shall remove all information about the person from the registry of sex offenders maintained by the Department.
