 7        Code.
 8             (5)  The court may sentence an offender convicted of

 6    The  trial  court shall hold a hearing under Section 5-4-1 of
 7    the Unified Code of Corrections which may include evidence of
 8    the defendant's life, moral character and  occupation  during
 9    the  time  since the original sentence was passed.  The trial
10    court shall then impose sentence  upon  the  defendant.   The

12    imposed at the original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the

14        (e)  In  cases  where  prosecution  for  criminal  sexual
15    assault or aggravated criminal  sexual  abuse  under  Section

17    conviction of a defendant who was  a  family  member  of  the
18    victim  at  the  time  of  the commission of the offense, the
19    court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
20    may impose a sentence of probation only where:
21             (1)  the  court  finds  (A)  or  (B)  or  both   are
22        appropriate:
23                  (A)  the  defendant  is  willing  to  undergo a
24             court approved  counseling  program  for  a  minimum
25             duration of 2 years; or

 2                  that the court may deem appropriate; and
 3             (2)  the  court  orders the defendant to pay for the
 4        victim's counseling services,  to  the  extent  that  the
 5        court finds, after considering the defendant's income and
 6        assets,  that  the  defendant  is  financially capable of
 7        paying for such services, if  the  victim  was  under  18
 8        years  of  age  at the time the offense was committed and
 9        requires counseling as a result of the offense.
10        Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to  Section
11    5-6-4;  except where the court determines at the hearing that
12    the defendant violated a condition of his  or  her  probation
13    restricting  contact  with the victim or other family members
14    or commits another offense with the victim  or  other  family
15    members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
16    impose a term of imprisonment.
17        For  the  purposes  of  this Section, "family member" and
18    "victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in  Section

24        (g)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
25    under  Sections  11-14,  11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18,

27    12-15  or  12-16  of the Criminal Code of 1961, the defendant
28    shall  undergo  medical  testing  to  determine  whether  the
29    defendant has any sexually transmissible disease, including a
30    test for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
31    any   other   identified   causative   agent   of    acquired
32    immunodeficiency  syndrome  (AIDS).   Any  such  medical test
33    shall be performed only  by  appropriately  licensed  medical
34    practitioners  and  may  include  an  analysis  of any bodily
 
HB0596 Engrossed            -23-               LRB9200825ARcd
 1    fluids as well as an examination of the  defendant's  person.
 2    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
 3    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
 4    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
 5    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
 6    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
 7    Acting in accordance with the best interests  of  the  victim
 8    and  the  public,  the  judge  shall  have  the discretion to
 9    determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing  may
10    be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
11    results.  The court shall also notify the victim if requested
12    by  the  victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
13    if requested by the victim's parents or legal  guardian,  the
14    court  shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of
15    the test results.  The court shall provide information on the
16    availability of HIV testing and counseling at  Department  of
17    Public  Health  facilities to all parties to whom the results
18    of the testing are revealed  and  shall  direct  the  State's
19    Attorney  to  provide  the  information  to  the  victim when
20    possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
21    the results of any HIV test administered under this  Section,
22    and  the  court  shall  grant  the  disclosure if the State's
23    Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a  charge
24    of  criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
25    Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant.  The court shall
26    order that the cost of any such test shall  be  paid  by  the
27    county  and  may  be  taxed  as  costs  against the convicted
28    defendant.

32    tuberculosis,  the  results  of  the test shall be personally
33    delivered by the warden or his or her designee  in  a  sealed
34    envelope  to  the judge of the court in which the inmate must
 
HB0596 Engrossed            -24-               LRB9200825ARcd
 1    appear for the judge's inspection in camera if  requested  by
 2    the  judge.   Acting in accordance with the best interests of
 3    those in the courtroom, the judge shall have  the  discretion
 4    to  determine  what  if  any  precautions need to be taken to
 5    prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
 6        (h)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
 7    under  Section  1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
 8    Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
 9    whether   the   defendant   has   been   exposed   to   human
10    immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or   any   other   identified
11    causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
12    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
13    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
14    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
15    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
16    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
17    Acting in accordance with the best interests of  the  public,
18    the  judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
19    anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
20    shall notify the defendant of  a  positive  test  showing  an
21    infection  with  the  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
22    court shall provide information on the  availability  of  HIV
23    testing   and  counseling  at  Department  of  Public  Health
24    facilities to all parties to whom the results of the  testing
25    are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
26    the  information  to  the  victim  when  possible.  A State's
27    Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of  any
28    HIV  test  administered  under  this   Section, and the court
29    shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney  shows  it
30    is  relevant  in  order  to  prosecute  a  charge of criminal
31    transmission of HIV under Section  12-16.2  of  the  Criminal
32    Code  of  1961  against  the defendant. The court shall order
33    that the cost of any such test shall be paid  by  the  county
34    and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.

13    Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation  of  the
14    Cannabis  Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
15    court supervision, or an order  of  probation  granted  under
16    Section  10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
17    Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant,  the  court
18    shall  determine  whether  the  defendant  is  employed  by a
19    facility or center as defined under the  Child  Care  Act  of
20    1969,  a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
21    otherwise works with children under 18  years  of  age  on  a
22    daily  basis.   When  a  defendant  is so employed, the court
23    shall order the Clerk of the Court to  send  a  copy  of  the
24    judgment  of  conviction or order of supervision or probation
25    to  the  defendant's  employer  by  certified  mail.  If  the

27    shall direct the  mailing  of  a  copy  of  the  judgment  of
28    conviction  or  order  of  supervision  or  probation  to the
29    appropriate regional superintendent of schools.  The regional
30    superintendent of schools shall notify  the  State  Board  of
31    Education of any notification under this subsection.
32        (j-5)  A  defendant  at  least  17  years  of  age who is
33    convicted of  a  felony  and  who  has  not  been  previously
34    convicted  of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
 
HB0596 Engrossed            -26-               LRB9200825ARcd
 1    a  term  of  imprisonment  in  the  Illinois  Department   of
 2    Corrections  shall  as  a condition of his or her sentence be
 3    required by the court to attend educational courses  designed
 4    to  prepare  the  defendant  for a high school diploma and to

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

12             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
13                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
14             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
15             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
16             justice.
17             Otherwise,  the  defendant  shall  be  sentenced  as
18        provided in this Chapter V.

20        a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has  been  placed  on
21        probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
22        Section  410  of  the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,

24        suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
25        custody  of  the Attorney General of the United States or
26        his or her designated agent when:

29             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and

31             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
