Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 55.

Periodic reexamination; report.

(a) If a person has been committed under Section 40 of this Act
and has not been discharged under Section 65 of this Act, the
Department shall submit a written report to the court on his or her mental
condition at least once every 12 months after an initial commitment under Section 40 for
the purpose of determining whether: (1) the person has made sufficient
progress in treatment to be conditionally released and (2) the person's condition has so changed since the most recent periodic reexamination (or initial commitment, if there has not yet been a periodic reexamination) that he or she is no longer a sexually violent person.  At the time of
a reexamination under this Section, the person who has been
committed may retain or, if he or she is indigent and so requests,
the court may appoint a qualified expert or a professional person
to examine him or her.

(b) Any examiner conducting an examination under this Section
shall prepare a written report of the examination no later than 30
days after the date of the examination.  The examiner shall place
a copy of the report in the person's health care records and shall
provide a copy of the report to the court that committed the
person under Section 40.
The examination shall be conducted in conformance with the standards
developed under the Sex Offender Management Board Act and by an evaluator
licensed under the Sex Offender Evaluation and Treatment Provider Act.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, the court
that committed a person under Section 40 may order a reexamination
of the person at any time during the period in which the person is
subject to the commitment order.
Any examiner conducting an examination under this Section shall prepare a written report of the examination no later than 30 days after the date of the examination.

(d) Petitions for discharge after reexamination must follow the
procedure
outlined in
Section 65 of this Act.
