| 1 | | AN ACT concerning corrections.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 3-6-2 as follows: | 6 | | (730 ILCS 5/3-6-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-6-2) | 7 | | Sec. 3-6-2. Institutions and Facility Administration.
| 8 | | (a) Each institution and facility of the Department shall | 9 | | be
administered by a chief administrative officer appointed by
| 10 | | the Director. A chief administrative officer shall be
| 11 | | responsible for all persons assigned to the institution or
| 12 | | facility. The chief administrative officer shall administer
| 13 | | the programs of the Department for the custody and treatment
of | 14 | | such persons.
| 15 | | (b) The chief administrative officer shall have such | 16 | | assistants
as the Department may assign.
| 17 | | (c) The Director or Assistant Director shall have the
| 18 | | emergency powers to temporarily transfer individuals without
| 19 | | formal procedures to any State, county, municipal or regional
| 20 | | correctional or detention institution or facility in the State,
| 21 | | subject to the acceptance of such receiving institution or
| 22 | | facility, or to designate any reasonably secure place in the
| 23 | | State as such an institution or facility and to make transfers
|
| | | HB1929 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB097 05174 RLC 45221 b |
|
| 1 | | thereto. However, transfers made under emergency powers shall
| 2 | | be reviewed as soon as practicable under Article 8, and shall
| 3 | | be subject to Section 5-905 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987. | 4 | | This Section shall not apply to transfers to the Department of
| 5 | | Human Services which are provided for under
Section 3-8-5 or | 6 | | Section 3-10-5.
| 7 | | (d) The Department shall provide educational programs for | 8 | | all
committed persons so that all persons have an opportunity | 9 | | to
attain the achievement level equivalent to the completion of
| 10 | | the twelfth grade in the public school system in this State.
| 11 | | Other higher levels of attainment shall be encouraged and
| 12 | | professional instruction shall be maintained wherever | 13 | | possible.
The Department may establish programs of mandatory | 14 | | education and may
establish rules and regulations for the | 15 | | administration of such programs.
A person committed to the | 16 | | Department who, during the period of his or her
incarceration, | 17 | | participates in an educational program provided by or through
| 18 | | the Department and through that program is awarded or earns the | 19 | | number of
hours of credit required for the award of an | 20 | | associate, baccalaureate, or
higher degree from a community | 21 | | college, college, or university located in
Illinois shall | 22 | | reimburse the State, through the Department, for the costs
| 23 | | incurred by the State in providing that person during his or | 24 | | her incarceration
with the education that qualifies him or her | 25 | | for the award of that degree. The
costs for which reimbursement | 26 | | is required under this subsection shall be
determined and |
| | | HB1929 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB097 05174 RLC 45221 b |
|
| 1 | | computed by the Department under rules and regulations that
it | 2 | | shall establish for that purpose. However, interest at the rate | 3 | | of 6%
per annum shall be charged on the balance of those costs | 4 | | from time to time
remaining unpaid, from the date of the | 5 | | person's parole, mandatory supervised
release, or release | 6 | | constituting a final termination of his or her commitment
to | 7 | | the Department until paid.
| 8 | | (d-5) A person committed to the Department is entitled to | 9 | | confidential testing for infection with human immunodeficiency | 10 | | virus (HIV) and to counseling in connection with such testing, | 11 | | with no copay to the committed person. A person committed to | 12 | | the Department who has tested positive for infection with HIV | 13 | | is entitled to medical care while incarcerated, counseling, and | 14 | | referrals to support services, in connection with that positive | 15 | | test result. Implementation of this subsection (d-5) is subject | 16 | | to appropriation.
| 17 | | (e) A person committed to the Department who becomes in | 18 | | need
of medical or surgical treatment but is incapable of | 19 | | giving
consent thereto shall receive such medical or surgical | 20 | | treatment
by the chief administrative officer consenting on the | 21 | | person's behalf.
Before the chief administrative officer | 22 | | consents, he or she shall
obtain the advice of one or more | 23 | | physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all its branches in | 24 | | this State. If such physician or physicians advise:
| 25 | | (1) that immediate medical or surgical treatment is | 26 | | required
relative to a condition threatening to cause |
| | | HB1929 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB097 05174 RLC 45221 b |
|
| 1 | | death, damage or
impairment to bodily functions, or | 2 | | disfigurement; and
| 3 | | (2) that the person is not capable of giving consent to | 4 | | such treatment;
the chief administrative officer may give | 5 | | consent for such
medical or surgical treatment, and such | 6 | | consent shall be
deemed to be the consent of the person for | 7 | | all purposes,
including, but not limited to, the authority | 8 | | of a physician
to give such treatment. | 9 | | (e-5) If a physician providing medical care to a committed | 10 | | person on behalf of the Department advises the chief | 11 | | administrative officer that the committed person's mental or | 12 | | physical health has deteriorated as a result of the cessation | 13 | | of ingestion of food or liquid to the point where medical or | 14 | | surgical treatment is required to prevent death, damage, or | 15 | | impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative | 16 | | officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.
| 17 | | (f) In the event that the person requires medical care and
| 18 | | treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
| 19 | | the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
| 20 | | by the Department.
The Department shall require the committed | 21 | | person receiving medical or dental
services on a non-emergency | 22 | | basis to pay a $5 $2 co-payment to the Department for
each | 23 | | visit for medical or dental services. The amount of each | 24 | | co-payment shall be deducted from the
committed person's | 25 | | individual account.
A committed person who has a chronic | 26 | | illness, as defined by Department rules
and regulations, shall |
| | | HB1929 Engrossed | - 5 - | LRB097 05174 RLC 45221 b |
|
| 1 | | be exempt from the $5 $2 co-payment for treatment of the
| 2 | | chronic illness. A committed person shall not be subject to a | 3 | | $5 $2 co-payment
for follow-up visits ordered by a physician, | 4 | | who is employed by, or contracts
with, the Department. A | 5 | | committed person who is indigent is exempt from the
$5 $2 | 6 | | co-payment
and is entitled to receive medical or dental | 7 | | services on the same basis as a
committed person who is | 8 | | financially able to afford the co-payment.
Notwithstanding any | 9 | | other provision in this subsection (f) to the contrary,
any | 10 | | person committed to any facility operated by the Department of | 11 | | Juvenile Justice, as set
forth in Section 3-2.5-15 of this | 12 | | Code, is exempt from the
co-payment requirement for the | 13 | | duration of confinement in those facilities.
| 14 | | (g) Any person having sole custody of a child at
the time | 15 | | of commitment or any woman giving birth to a child after
her | 16 | | commitment, may arrange through the Department of Children
and | 17 | | Family Services for suitable placement of the child outside
of | 18 | | the Department of Corrections. The Director of the Department
| 19 | | of Corrections may determine that there are special reasons why
| 20 | | the child should continue in the custody of the mother until | 21 | | the
child is 6 years old.
| 22 | | (h) The Department may provide Family Responsibility | 23 | | Services which
may consist of, but not be limited to the | 24 | | following:
| 25 | | (1) family advocacy counseling;
| 26 | | (2) parent self-help group;

| 2 | | (4) parent and child overnight program;
| 3 | | (5) parent and child reunification counseling, either | 4 | | separately or
together, preceding the inmate's release; | 5 | | and
| 6 | | (6) a prerelease reunification staffing involving the | 7 | | family advocate,
the inmate and the child's counselor, or | 8 | | both and the inmate.
| 9 | | (i) Prior to the release of any inmate who has a documented | 10 | | history
of intravenous drug use, and upon the receipt of that | 11 | | inmate's written
informed consent, the Department shall | 12 | | provide for the testing of such
inmate for infection with human | 13 | | immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and any other
identified | 14 | | causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). | 15 | | The
testing provided under this subsection shall consist of an | 16 | | enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test or such other | 17 | | test as may be approved by
the Illinois Department of Public | 18 | | Health. If the test result is positive,
the Western Blot Assay | 19 | | or more reliable confirmatory test shall be
administered. All | 20 | | inmates tested in accordance with the provisions of this
| 21 | | subsection shall be provided with pre-test and post-test | 22 | | counseling.
Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection | 23 | | to the contrary, the
Department shall not be required to | 24 | | conduct the testing and counseling
required by this subsection | 25 | | unless sufficient funds to cover all costs of
such testing and | 26 | | counseling are appropriated for that
purpose by the General |
| | | HB1929 Engrossed | - 7 - | LRB097 05174 RLC 45221 b |
|
| 1 | | Assembly.
| 2 | | (j) Any person convicted of a sex offense as defined in the | 3 | | Sex Offender
Management Board Act shall be required to receive | 4 | | a sex offender evaluation

and | 7 | | guidelines developed under
the Sex Offender Management Board | 8 | | Act and by an evaluator approved by the
Board.
| 9 | | (k) Any minor committed to the Department of Juvenile | 10 | | Justice
for a sex offense as defined by the Sex Offender | 11 | | Management Board Act shall be
required to undergo sex offender | 12 | | treatment by a treatment provider approved by
the Board and | 13 | | conducted in conformance with the Sex Offender Management Board
| 14 | | Act.
| 15 | | (l) Prior to the release of any inmate, the Department must | 16 | | provide the inmate with the option of testing for infection | 17 | | with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as counseling | 18 | | in connection with such testing, with no copayment for the | 19 | | test. At the same time, the Department shall require each such | 20 | | inmate to sign a form stating that the inmate has been informed | 21 | | of his or her rights with respect to the testing required to be | 22 | | offered under this subsection (l) and providing the inmate with | 23 | | an opportunity to indicate either that he or she wants to be | 24 | | tested or that he or she does not want to be tested. The | 25 | | Department, in consultation with the Department of Public | 26 | | Health, shall prescribe the contents of the form. The
testing |

|
| 1 | | provided under this subsection (l) shall consist of an | 2 | | enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test or any other | 3 | | test approved by
the Department of Public Health. If the test | 4 | | result is positive,
the Western Blot Assay or more reliable | 5 | | confirmatory test shall be
administered. | 6 | | Prior to the release of an inmate who the Department knows | 7 | | has tested positive for infection with HIV, the Department in a | 8 | | timely manner shall offer the inmate transitional case | 9 | | management, including referrals to other support services.
| 10 | | Implementation of this subsection (l) is subject to | 11 | | appropriation.
| 12 | | (m) The chief administrative officer of each institution or | 13 | | facility of the Department shall make a room in the institution | 14 | | or facility available for addiction recovery services to be | 15 | | provided to committed persons on a voluntary basis. The | 16 | | services shall be provided for one hour once a week at a time | 17 | | specified by the chief administrative officer of the | 18 | | institution or facility if the following conditions are met: | 19 | | (1) the addiction recovery service contacts the chief | 20 | | administrative officer to arrange the meeting; | 21 | | (2) the committed person may attend the meeting for | 22 | | addiction recovery services only if the committed person | 23 | | uses pre-existing free time already available to the | 24 | | committed person; | 25 | | (3) all disciplinary and other rules of the institution | 26 | | or facility remain in effect; |
