CRIM CD-AGGRAVATED OFFENSES                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Provides that administering  a      
   controlled  substance  to  a  person  without  his  or her consent for      
   nonmedical purposes constitutes  aggravated  battery.   Provides  that      
   delivering  a  controlled  substance  to  a  victim without his or her      
   consent as part of the same course of conduct  as  the  commission  of      
   criminal  sexual  assault  or  criminal sexual abuse is an aggravating      
   circumstance that  enhances  these  offenses  to  aggravated  criminal      
   sexual   assault  or  aggravated  criminal  sexual  abuse.   Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          720 ILCS 5/12-14.1                                                   
          720 ILCS 5/12-18                from Ch. 38, par. 12-18              
          720 ILCS 5/18-5                                                      
          725 ILCS 5/115-7.3                                                   
        Further amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Expands  the  offenses      
   of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and aggravated robbery      
   to  include  committing  the  offense  while  delivering  a controlled      
   substance to the victim without  his  or  her  consent.  Provides  for      
   procedures  by  emergency  room personnel and law enforcement officers      
   who reasonably believe that a person has been delivered  a  controlled      
   substance  without  his  or  her  consent. Amends the Code of Criminal      
   Procedure of 1963.  Provides that in  certain  prosecutions  involving      
   the  involuntary  delivery  of a controlled substance for a victim, no      
   inference may be made about the fact that a victim did not consent  to      
   a test for the presence of controlled substances.  Adds a severability      
   clause to the bill.

          JUDICIAL NOTE                                                        
          No decrease or increase in the need for the number of judges.

        Provides that in a hospital, whenever emergency  room  personnel,      
   other  than physicians, have reasonable cause to believe that a person      
   has been delivered a controlled substance without his or her  consent,      
   personnel  designated  by the hospital (rather than law enforcement or      
   other  medical  personnel)  shall  provide  the  victim  with  certain      
   information  about  the  effects  and  administration  of   controlled      
   substances   and   information  about  testing  for  the  presence  of      
   controlled substances.  Provides that any medical treatment, care,  or      
   testing  shall  only  be  in  accordance with the order of a physician      
   licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Also  exempts  from      
   violation  delivery  of  controlled substances to a person for medical      
   purposes.
