 2             (1)  the  court  finds  (A)  or  (B)  or  both   are
 3        appropriate:
 4                  (A)  the  defendant  is  willing  to  undergo a
 5             court approved  counseling  program  for  a  minimum

21        assets,  that  the  defendant  is  financially capable of
22        paying for such services, if  the  victim  was  under  18
23        years  of  age  at the time the offense was committed and
24        requires counseling as a result of the offense.
25        Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to  Section
26    5-6-4;  except where the court determines at the hearing that

 5        (g)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
 6    under  Sections  11-14,  11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18,
 7    11-18.1, 11-19,  11-19.1,  11-19.2,  12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,
 8    12-15  or  12-16  of the Criminal Code of 1961, the defendant
 9    shall  undergo  medical  testing  to  determine  whether  the
10    defendant has any sexually transmissible disease, including a
11    test for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
12    any   other   identified   causative   agent   of    acquired
13    immunodeficiency  syndrome  (AIDS).   Any  such  medical test
14    shall be performed only  by  appropriately  licensed  medical
15    practitioners  and  may  include  an  analysis  of any bodily
16    fluids as well as an examination of the  defendant's  person.
17    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
18    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
19    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
20    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
21    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
22    Acting in accordance with the best interests  of  the  victim
23    and  the  public,  the  judge  shall  have  the discretion to
24    determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing  may
25    be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
26    results.  The court shall also notify the victim if requested
27    by  the  victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
28    if requested by the victim's parents or legal  guardian,  the
29    court  shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of
30    the test results.  The court shall provide information on the
31    availability of HIV testing and counseling at  Department  of
32    Public  Health  facilities to all parties to whom the results
33    of the testing are revealed  and  shall  direct  the  State's
34    Attorney  to  provide  the  information  to  the  victim when
                            -22-           LRB9008819RCksam02
 1    possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
 2    the results of any HIV test administered under this  Section,
 3    and  the  court  shall  grant  the  disclosure if the State's
 4    Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a  charge
 5    of  criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
 6    Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant.  The court shall
 7    order that the cost of any such test shall  be  paid  by  the
 8    county  and  may  be  taxed  as  costs  against the convicted
 9    defendant.
10        (g-5)  When  an  inmate  is  tested   for   an   airborne
11    communicable   disease,   as   determined   by  the  Illinois
12    Department of Public Health  including  but  not  limited  to
13    tuberculosis,  the  results  of  the test shall be personally
14    delivered by the warden or his or her designee  in  a  sealed
15    envelope  to  the judge of the court in which the inmate must
16    appear for the judge's inspection in camera if  requested  by
17    the  judge.   Acting in accordance with the best interests of
18    those in the courtroom, the judge shall have  the  discretion
19    to  determine  what  if  any  precautions need to be taken to
20    prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
21        (h)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
22    under  Section  1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
23    Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
24    whether   the   defendant   has   been   exposed   to   human
25    immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or   any   other   identified
26    causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
27    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
28    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
29    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
30    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
31    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
32    Acting in accordance with the best interests of  the  public,
33    the  judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
34    anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
                            -23-           LRB9008819RCksam02
 1    shall notify the defendant of  a  positive  test  showing  an
 2    infection  with  the  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
 3    court shall provide information on the  availability  of  HIV
 4    testing   and  counseling  at  Department  of  Public  Health
 5    facilities to all parties to whom the results of the  testing
 6    are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
 7    the  information  to  the  victim  when  possible.  A State's
 8    Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of  any
 9    HIV  test  administered  under  this   Section, and the court
10    shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney  shows  it
11    is  relevant  in  order  to  prosecute  a  charge of criminal
12    transmission of HIV under Section  12-16.2  of  the  Criminal
13    Code  of  1961  against  the defendant. The court shall order
14    that the cost of any such test shall be paid  by  the  county
15    and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
16        (i)  All  fines  and penalties imposed under this Section
17    for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
18    Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of  a  local  ordinance,

20    similar  provision  of  a local ordinance, shall be collected
21    and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under  Section
22    27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
23        (j)  In  cases  when  prosecution  for  any  violation of
24    Section 11-6,  11-8,  11-9,  11-11,  11-14,  11-15,  11-15.1,
25    11-16,   11-17,  11-17.1,  11-18,  11-18.1,  11-19,  11-19.1,
26    11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,  12-15,  or
27    12-16  of  the  Criminal  Code  of 1961, any violation of the
28    Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation  of  the
29    Cannabis  Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
30    court supervision, or an order  of  probation  granted  under
31    Section  10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
32    Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant,  the  court
33    shall  determine  whether  the  defendant  is  employed  by a
34    facility or center as defined under the  Child  Care  Act  of
                            -24-           LRB9008819RCksam02
 1    1969,  a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
 2    otherwise works with children under 18  years  of  age  on  a
 3    daily  basis.   When  a  defendant  is so employed, the court
 4    shall order the Clerk of the Court to  send  a  copy  of  the
 5    judgment  of  conviction or order of supervision or probation
 6    to  the  defendant's  employer  by  certified  mail.  If  the
 7    employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
 8    shall direct the  mailing  of  a  copy  of  the  judgment  of
 9    conviction  or  order  of  supervision  or  probation  to the
10    appropriate regional superintendent of schools.  The regional
11    superintendent of schools shall notify  the  State  Board  of
12    Education of any notification under this subsection.
13        (j-5)  A  defendant  at  least  17  years  of  age who is
14    convicted of  a  felony  and  who  has  not  been  previously
15    convicted  of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
16    a  term  of  imprisonment  in  the  Illinois  Department   of
17    Corrections  shall  as  a condition of his or her sentence be
18    required by the court to attend educational courses  designed
19    to  prepare  the  defendant  for a high school diploma and to
20    work toward a high school diploma or to work  toward  passing
21    the high school level Test of General Educational Development
22    (GED)  or  to  work  toward  completing a vocational training
23    program offered by  the  Department  of  Corrections.   If  a
24    defendant fails to complete the educational training required
25    by  his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
26    Prisoner Review Board shall,  as  a  condition  of  mandatory
27    supervised  release, require the defendant, at his or her own
28    expense, to pursue a course of study  toward  a  high  school
29    diploma  or  passage  of  the  GED test.  The Prisoner Review
30    Board shall revoke the  mandatory  supervised  release  of  a
31    defendant  who  wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
32    (j-5) upon his or her release from  confinement  in  a  penal
33    institution  while  serving  a  mandatory  supervised release
34    term; however, the inability of the defendant after making  a
                            -25-           LRB9008819RCksam02
 1    good  faith  effort  to  obtain  financial aid or pay for the
 2    educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure  to
 3    comply.    The  Prisoner  Review  Board  shall  recommit  the
 4    defendant whose mandatory supervised release  term  has  been
 5    revoked  under  this  subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
 6    3-3-9.  This subsection (j-5) does not apply to  a  defendant
 7    who  has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
 8    GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
 9    who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
10    or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
11    or vocational program.
12        (k)  A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
13    a felony or misdemeanor that requires  the  defendant  to  be
14    implanted  or  injected  with  or  to  use  any form of birth
15    control.
16        (l)(A)  Except as provided in paragraph (C) of subsection
17    (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as defined by  the
18    Immigration  and  Nationality Act, is convicted of any felony
19    or  misdemeanor  offense,  the  court  after  sentencing  the
20    defendant may, upon motion  of  the  State's  Attorney,  hold
21    sentence  in abeyance and remand the defendant to the custody
22    of the Attorney General of the United States or  his  or  her
23    designated agent to be deported when:
24             (1)  a  final  order  of deportation has been issued
25        against the defendant pursuant to proceedings  under  the
26        Immigration and Nationality Act, and
27             (2)  the  deportation  of  the  defendant  would not
28        deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct  and
29        would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
30        Otherwise,  the  defendant shall be sentenced as provided
31    in this Chapter V.
32        (B)  If the defendant has already been  sentenced  for  a
33    felony   or  misdemeanor  offense,  or  has  been  placed  on
34    probation under Section 10 of the  Cannabis  Control  Act  or
                            -26-           LRB9008819RCksam02
 1    Section  410  of  the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
 2    court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the
 3    sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody of  the
 4    Attorney   General  of  the  United  States  or  his  or  her
 5    designated agent when:
 6             (1)  a final order of deportation  has  been  issued
 7        against  the  defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
 8        Immigration and Nationality Act, and
 9             (2)  the deportation  of  the  defendant  would  not
10        deprecate  the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
11        would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
12        (C)  This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders  who
13    are  subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection
14    (a) of Section 3-6-3.
15        (D)  Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a  defendant
16    sentenced  under  this Section returns to the jurisdiction of
17    the United States, the defendant shall be recommitted to  the
18    custody  of  the  county  from which he or she was sentenced.
19    Thereafter,  the  defendant  shall  be  brought  before   the
20    sentencing  court,  which  may  impose  any sentence that was
21    available  under  Section  5-5-3  at  the  time  of   initial
22    sentencing.  In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
23    for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
24    provided under Section 3-6-6.
