   160  (now  90) days after the termination of the period of an order or      
   extension of the order, the judge issuing or denying the  issuance  of      
   the  eavesdropping  order  shall  cause  to  be  served on the persons      
   overheard during the period of (rather than named in)   the  order  or      
   application  a  notice  of  the transaction involving any requested or      
   completed use of the eavesdropping device.  Effective immediately.

        Further amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Allows the      
   State's Attorney to authorize an Assistant State's  Attorney  (instead

   an  eavesdropping  device  by  a  law  enforcement  officer or agency.
