victim's counseling
services, to the extent that the court |
finds, after considering the
defendant's income and |
assets, that the defendant is financially capable of
paying |
for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age |
at the
time the offense was committed and requires |
counseling as a result of the
offense.
|
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section |
5-6-4; except
where the court determines at the hearing that |
the defendant violated a
condition of his or her probation |
|
restricting contact with the victim or
other family members or |
commits another offense with the victim or other
family |
members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
|
impose a term of imprisonment.
|

Section, and the court shall grant the
disclosure if the |
|
State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a
|
charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of |

shall order that the cost of any
such test shall be paid by the |

Criminal |
Code of 1961, any violation of the Illinois Controlled |
Substances Act,
any violation of the Cannabis Control Act, or |
any violation of the Methamphetamine Control and Community |
Protection Act results in conviction, a
disposition of court |
supervision, or an order of probation granted under
Section 10 |
of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
|
Controlled Substance Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine |
Control and Community Protection Act of a defendant, the court |
shall determine whether the
defendant is employed by a facility |
|
or center as defined under the Child Care
Act of 1969, a public |
or private elementary or secondary school, or otherwise
works |
with children under 18 years of age on a daily basis. When a |
defendant
is so employed, the court shall order the Clerk of |
the Court to send a copy of
the judgment of conviction or order |
of supervision or probation to the
defendant's employer by |
certified mail.
If the employer of the defendant is a school, |
the Clerk of the Court shall
direct the mailing of a copy of |
the judgment of conviction or order of
supervision or probation |
to the appropriate regional superintendent of schools.
The |
regional superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board |

(j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is convicted |
of a felony and
who has not been previously convicted of a |
misdemeanor or felony and who is
sentenced to a term of |
imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections
shall as |
a condition of his or her sentence be required by the court to |
attend
educational courses designed to prepare the defendant |
for a high school diploma
and to work toward a high school |
diploma or to work toward passing the high
school level Test of |
General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
|
completing a vocational training program offered by the |
Department of
Corrections. If a defendant fails to complete the |
educational training
required by his or her sentence during the |
term of incarceration, the Prisoner
Review Board shall, as a |
condition of mandatory supervised release, require the
|
|
defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a course of |
study toward a high
school diploma or passage of the GED test. |
The Prisoner Review Board shall
revoke the mandatory supervised |
release of a defendant who wilfully fails to
comply with this |
subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
|
penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release |
term; however,
the inability of the defendant after making a |
good faith effort to obtain
financial aid or pay for the |
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful
failure to |
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
|
whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under |
this subsection
(j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This |
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a
defendant who has a high |
school diploma or has successfully passed the GED
test. This |
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who is |
determined by
the court to be developmentally disabled or |
otherwise mentally incapable of
completing the educational or |
vocational program.

the defendant
may, upon motion of the State's Attorney, |
hold sentence in abeyance and remand
the defendant to the |

|
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued |
against the defendant
pursuant to proceedings under |
the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
|
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not |
deprecate the seriousness

|
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as |
provided in this Chapter V.
|
(B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a |
felony or
misdemeanor

Protection Act, the court
may, upon motion of the State's |
Attorney to suspend the
sentence imposed, commit the |
defendant to the custody of the Attorney General
of the |
United States or his or her designated agent when:
|
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued |
against the defendant
pursuant to proceedings under |
the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
|
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not |
deprecate the seriousness
of the defendant's conduct |
and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
justice.
|
(C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who |
are subject to the
provisions of paragraph (2) of |
|
subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
|
(D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant |
sentenced under
this Section returns to the jurisdiction of |
the United States, the defendant

sentenced.
Thereafter, the defendant shall be brought |
before the sentencing court, which
may impose any sentence |

|
initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be |
eligible for
additional good conduct credit for |
meritorious service as provided under
Section 3-6-6.

community service |
that may include cleanup, removal, or painting over the
|
defacement.
|
(n) The court may sentence a person convicted of a |
violation of Section
12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal |

person is otherwise eligible for that program
under Section |
5-8-1.1, (ii) to community service, or (iii) if the person is |
an
