21 Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
22 that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county

28 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
29 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
30 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
31 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
32 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
33 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
34 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
-12- LRB9111651DHcd
1 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
2 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school

4 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
5 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
6 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
7 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
8 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
9 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
10 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
11 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
12 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
13 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
14 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

29 State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
30 the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
31 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
32 deported when:
33 (1) a final order of deportation has been
34 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
-13- LRB9111651DHcd
1 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
2 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
3 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
4 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
5 justice.
6 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
7 provided in this Chapter V.
8 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for
9 a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on

11 Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
12 the court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to
13 suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
14 custody of the Attorney General of the United States or
15 his or her designated agent when:
16 (1) a final order of deportation has been
17 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
18 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
19 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
20 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
21 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
22 justice.
23 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
24 who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
25 subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.

31 brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
32 sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
33 time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant
34 shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
