27 court supervision, or an order of probation granted under

29 Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
30 shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
31 facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
32 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
33 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a

-30- LRB9004421RCsbA
1 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
2 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
3 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the

10 (j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is
11 convicted of a felony and who has not been previously
12 convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
13 a term of imprisonment in the Illinois Department of
14 Corrections shall as a condition of his or her sentence be
15 required by the court to attend educational courses designed
16 to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
17 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
18 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
19 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
20 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
21 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
22 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
23 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
24 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
25 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
26 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
27 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
28 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
29 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
30 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
31 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
32 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
33 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
34 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
-31- LRB9004421RCsbA
1 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
2 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section

4 who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
5 GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
6 who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
7 or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
8 or vocational program.

10 a felony or misdemeanor that requires the defendant to be
11 implanted or injected with or to use any form of birth
12 control.
13 (l)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of subsection
14 (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as defined by the
15 Immigration and Nationality Act, is convicted of any felony
16 or misdemeanor offense, the court after sentencing the
17 defendant may, upon motion of the State's Attorney, hold
18 sentence in abeyance and remand the defendant to the custody
19 of the Attorney General of the United States or his or her
20 designated agent to be deported when:
21 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
22 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
23 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
24 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
25 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
26 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
27 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided
28 in this Chapter V.
29 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a
30 felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
31 probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
32 Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
33 court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the
34 sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody of the
-32- LRB9004421RCsbA
1 Attorney General of the United States or his or her
2 designated agent when:
3 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
4 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
5 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
6 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
7 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
8 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
9 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who
10 are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection
11 (a) of Section 3-6-3.
12 (D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant
13 sentenced under this Section returns to the jurisdiction of
14 the United States, the defendant shall be recommitted to the
15 custody of the county from which he or she was sentenced.
16 Thereafter, the defendant shall be brought before the
17 sentencing court, which may impose any sentence that was
18 available under Section 5-5-3 at the time of initial
19 sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
20 for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
21 provided under Section 3-6-6.
