1     twice been convicted in any state or federal court of an
2     offense that contains the same elements as an offense now
3     classified in Illinois as a Class 2 or greater Class felony
4     and such charges are separately brought and tried and arise

1     court supervision for a violation of Section 5-16 of the
2     Boat Registration and Safety Act if that person has
3     previously received a disposition of court supervision for

5     (d) In any case in which a sentence originally imposed is

11 shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The trial court
12 may impose any sentence which could have been imposed at the
13 original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code of
14 Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
15 collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
16 trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a
17 fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
18 punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
19 otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced
20 to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State
21 files notice of its intention to again seek the extended
22 sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.
23     (e) In cases where prosecution for aggravated criminal
24 sexual abuse under Section 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961
25 results in conviction of a defendant who was a family member of
26 the victim at the time of the commission of the offense, the
27 court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
28 may impose a sentence of probation only where:
29         (1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are appropriate:
30             (A) the defendant is willing to undergo a court
31         approved counseling program for a minimum duration of 2
32         years; or
33             (B) the defendant is willing to participate in a
34         court approved plan including but not limited to the
35         defendant's:
36                 (i) removal from the household;

7             the court may deem appropriate; and

9     victim's counseling services, to the extent that the court
10     finds, after considering the defendant's income and
11     assets, that the defendant is financially capable of paying
12     for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age
13     at the time the offense was committed and requires
14     counseling as a result of the offense.
15     Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
16 5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
17 the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
18 restricting contact with the victim or other family members or
19 commits another offense with the victim or other family
20 members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
21 impose a term of imprisonment.
22     For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and
23 "victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section
24 12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
25     (f) This Article shall not deprive a court in other
26 proceedings to order a forfeiture of property, to suspend or
27 cancel a license, to remove a person from office, or to impose
28 any other civil penalty.
29     (g) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense under
30 Sections 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18, 11-18.1,

25 relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
26 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal Code

6 defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine whether
7 the defendant has been exposed to human immunodeficiency virus
8 (HIV) or any other identified causative agent of acquired
9 immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Except as otherwise provided
10 by law, the results of such test shall be kept strictly
11 confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing
12 and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
13 judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the
14 judge's inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the
15 best interests of the public, the judge shall have the
16 discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the
17 testing may be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant
18 of a positive test showing an infection with the human
19 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide

23 the State's Attorney to provide the information to the victim
24 when possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to
25 obtain the results of any HIV test administered under this
26 Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the

18 the court shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of
19 the judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
20 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the employer
21 of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court shall
22 direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of conviction or

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

18     Section 10. The County Jail Act is amended by adding
19 Section 19.6 as follows:
 
20     (730 ILCS 125/19.6 new)
21     Sec. 19.6. County work camp program.
22     (a) Legislative intent. It is the finding of the General
23 Assembly that certain non-violent offenders eligible for
24 sentences of incarceration in a county jail may benefit from
25 the rehabilitative aspects of a county work camp program. It is
26 the intent of the General Assembly that such programs be
27 implemented as provided by this Section. This Section shall not
28 be construed to allow violent offenders to participate in a
29 county work camp program.
30     (b) Under the direction of the sheriff in a county of less
31 than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the sheriff may establish and
32 operate a county work camp program for eligible offenders. If
33 the court finds at the sentencing hearing under Section 5-4-1
34 of the Unified Code of Corrections that an offender meets the

 

 

HB4081 Engrossed - 15 - LRB094 12309 RLC 46191 b

1 eligibility requirements of the sheriff's county work camp
2 program, the court may sentence the offender to the county work
3 camp program. The sheriff may also assign an eligible offender
4 to a work camp program. The sheriff shall be responsible for
5 monitoring all offenders who are sentenced to the county work
6 camp program. In the event the offender is not accepted for
7 placement in the county work camp program, the court shall
8 proceed to sentence the offender to any other disposition
9 authorized by the Unified Code of Corrections. If the offender
10 does not successfully complete the program, the offender's
11 failure to do so shall constitute a violation of the sentence
12 to the county work camp program.
13     (c) In order to be eligible to be sentenced to a county
14 work camp program by the court or to be assigned to a county
15 work camp program by the sheriff, the person shall meet all of
16 the following requirements:
17         (1) the person must be not less than 17 years of age;
18         (2) the person must have been convicted of an offense
19     that is not a violent crime as defined in Section 3 of the
20     Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
21         (3) the person must not have any mental disorder or
22     disability that would prevent participation in a county
23     work camp program; and
24         (4) the person was recommended and approved for
25     placement in the county work camp program by the sheriff
26     and consented in writing to participation in the county
27     work camp program and to the terms and conditions of the
28     program. The sheriff may consider, among other matters,
29     whether the person has any outstanding detainers or
30     warrants, whether the person has a history of escaping or
31     absconding, whether participation in the county work camp
32     program may pose a risk to the safety or security of any
33     person and whether space is available.
34     (d) The county work camp program shall include such
35 community service work as defined by the sheriff to be
36 performed by offenders at locations other than the county jail.

 

 

HB4081 Engrossed - 16 - LRB094 12309 RLC 46191 b

1 When the offender is not performing community service work, he
2 or she shall be confined in the county jail.
3     (e) The sheriff shall issue written rules and requirements
4 for the program. Persons shall be informed of rules of behavior
5 and conduct. Persons participating in the county work camp
6 program shall adhere to all rules and all requirements of the
7 program.
8     (f) The period of time a person shall serve in the work
9 camp program shall be determined by the court that sentenced
10 the offender to the program or by the sheriff who assigned the
11 offender to the program. The period of time a person shall
12 serve in the work camp program shall not be reduced by the
13 accumulation of good time. The court may also sentence the
14 person to a period of probation to commence at the successful
15 completion of the county work camp program.
16     (g) If the person successfully completes the county work
17 camp program, the sheriff shall certify the person's successful
18 completion of the program to the court and to the county's
19 State's Attorney. Upon successful completion of the county work
20 camp program and if there is an additional period of probation
21 given, the person shall at that time begin his or her
22 probationary sentence under the supervision of the Adult
23 Probation Department.
24     (h) A person may be removed from the county work camp
25 program for a violation of the terms or conditions of the
26 program or in the event he or she is for any reason unable to
27 participate. The failure to complete the program for any reason
28 shall be deemed a violation of the county work camp sentence.
29 The sheriff shall give notice to the State's Attorney of the
30 person's failure to complete the program. The sheriff shall
31 file a petition for violation of the county work camp sentence
32 with the court and the State's Attorney may proceed on the
33 petition under Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of
34 Corrections. The sheriff shall promulgate rules and
35 regulations governing conduct which could result in removal
36 from the program or in a determination that the person has not

 

 

HB4081 Engrossed - 17 - LRB094 12309 RLC 46191 b

1 successfully completed the program.
2     (i) The mandatory conditions of every county work camp
3 sentence shall include that the person while in the program:
4         (1) not violate any criminal statute; or
5         (2) report or appear in person before any such person
6     or agency as directed by the court or the sheriff.
