INTRODUCTION

The Sex Offender Management Board (Board) was
established by the Sex Offender Management Board Act on
July 22, 1997 to standardize the evaluation,
identification, counseling, and continued monitoring of
sex offenders at each stage of the criminal or juvenile
justice systems or mental health systems.

SYNOPSIS

• The Board did not consist of all required members
throughout Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

BOARD NOT FULLY SEATED

The Board did not consist of all required members
throughout Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 as required by the
Sex Offender Management Board Act.  The Board had four
vacancies during Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012.  Three of
the vacancies were to be filled by appointees selected
by the Governor and one vacancy was to be filled by an
appointee selected by the Office of the Attorney
General.

Board management stated that they have continued to
communicate the vacancies to the Governor’s Office and
have discussed the State’s Attorney vacancy with the
Attorney General. (Finding 1, Page 7)

We recommended the Board continue communications with
the Governor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office
to request the vacancies be filled.

Board management agreed with the recommendation and
stated that all vacancies had been filled.


AUDITORS’ OPINION

We conducted a compliance examination of the Board as
required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  We have
not audited any financial statements of the Board for
the purpose of expressing an opinion because the Board
does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial
statements.
