and (2) the second felony was committed after conviction
on the first; and (3) the third felony was committed

(10) When a person is convicted of violating
Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, the following penalties
apply when his or her blood, breath, or urine was .16 or
more based on the definition of blood, breath, or urine
units in Section 11-501.2 or that person is convicted of
violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
while transporting a child under the age of 16:
(A) For a first violation of subsection (a) of

that may be imposed under subsection (c) of Section
11-501: a mandatory minimum of 100 hours of
community service and a minimum fine of $500.

court shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The
trial court may impose any sentence which could have been
imposed at the original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the
Unified Code of Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on
appeal or on collateral attack due to the failure of the
trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt
the existence of a fact (other than a prior conviction)
necessary to increase the punishment for the offense beyond
the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the
defendant may be re-sentenced to a term within the range
otherwise provided or, if the State files notice of its
intention to again seek the extended sentence, the defendant
shall be afforded a new trial.
(e) In cases where prosecution for criminal sexual
assault or aggravated criminal sexual abuse under Section
12-13 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 results in
conviction of a defendant who was a family member of the
victim at the time of the commission of the offense, the
court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
may impose a sentence of probation only where:
(1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are
appropriate:
(A) the defendant is willing to undergo a
court approved counseling program for a minimum
duration of 2 years; or
(B) the defendant is willing to participate in
a court approved plan including but not limited to
the defendant's:
(i) removal from the household;
(ii) restricted contact with the victim;
(iii) continued financial support of the
family;
(iv) restitution for harm done to the
victim; and
(v) compliance with any other measures
that the court may deem appropriate; and
(2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the
victim's counseling services, to the extent that the
court finds, after considering the defendant's income and
assets, that the defendant is financially capable of
paying for such services, if the victim was under 18
years of age at the time the offense was committed and
requires counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
restricting contact with the victim or other family members
or commits another offense with the victim or other family
members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
impose a term of imprisonment.
For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and
"victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section
12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
(f) This Article shall not deprive a court in other
proceedings to order a forfeiture of property, to suspend or
cancel a license, to remove a person from office, or to
impose any other civil penalty.

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

for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected

27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
(j) In cases when prosecution for any violation of
Section 11-6, 11-8, 11-9, 11-11, 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1,
11-16, 11-17, 11-17.1, 11-18, 11-18.1, 11-19, 11-19.1,
11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, or
12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
court supervision, or an order of probation granted under
Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
shall direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of

required by the court to attend educational courses designed
to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
the high school level Test of General Educational Development
(GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
defendant fails to complete the educational training required
by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
(j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
or vocational program.

control.
(l) (A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of
subsection (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as
defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act, is
convicted of any felony or misdemeanor offense, the court
after sentencing the defendant may, upon motion of the
State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
the United States or his or her designated agent to be
deported when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been
issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not
deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
justice.
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
provided in this Chapter V.
(B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for
a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
the court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to
suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
custody of the Attorney General of the United States or
his or her designated agent when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been
issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not
deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
justice.
(C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
(D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a
defendant sentenced under this Section returns to the
jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or
she was sentenced. Thereafter, the defendant shall be
brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant
shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.

property under Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
in which the property damage exceeds $300 and the property

to the court by the Department that the offender has
successfully completed the program. In the event the
