10 Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
11 whether the defendant has been exposed to human

14 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
15 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
16 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
17 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
18 conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.

20 the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
21 anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
22 shall notify the defendant of a positive test showing an
23 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
24 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
25 testing and counseling at Department of Public Health
26 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
27 are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
28 the information to the victim when possible. A State's
29 Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of any
30 HIV test administered under this Section, and the court
31 shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney shows it
32 is relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
33 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal
34 Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
-11- LRB9010512RCks
1 that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county
2 and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
3 (i) All fines and penalties imposed under this Section

14 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
15 Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
16 Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
17 court supervision, or an order of probation granted under
18 Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
19 Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
20 shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
21 facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
22 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
23 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
24 daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
25 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
26 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
27 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
28 employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
29 shall direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of
30 conviction or order of supervision or probation to the
31 appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The regional
32 superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board of
33 Education of any notification under this subsection.

7 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
8 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
9 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
10 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
11 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
12 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
13 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
14 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
15 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
16 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
17 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
18 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
19 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
20 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
21 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
22 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
23 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
24 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
25 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
26 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
27 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
28 who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
29 GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
30 who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled

7 defendant may, upon motion of the State's Attorney, hold
8 sentence in abeyance and remand the defendant to the custody
9 of the Attorney General of the United States or his or her
10 designated agent to be deported when:
11 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
12 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
13 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
14 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
15 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
16 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
17 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided
18 in this Chapter V.
19 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a
20 felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on

23 court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the
24 sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody of the
25 Attorney General of the United States or his or her
26 designated agent when:
27 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
28 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
29 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
30 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
31 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
32 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.

34 are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection
-14- LRB9010512RCks
1 (a) of Section 3-6-3.

7 sentencing court, which may impose any sentence that was
8 available under Section 5-5-3 at the time of initial
9 sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
10 for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
11 provided under Section 3-6-6.
