15    (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
16        (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
17            (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective
18        January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the
19        child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1 of the
20        Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained
21        other provisions.
22            (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled
23        "AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A)
24        Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended the
25        Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled
26        GANGS and amended various provisions of the Criminal

 

 

09700HB2585ham001- 11 -LRB097 07376 RLC 53433 a

1        Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of Corrections. (C)
2        Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended
3        various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D)
4        Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and amended the
5        Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
6        Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS
7        and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Code of
8        Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35 amended the
9        Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and
10        Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G)
11        Article 40 amended the Criminal Code of 1961 to
12        increase the penalty for compelling organization
13        membership of persons. (H) Article 45 created the
14        Secure Residential Youth Care Facility Licensing Act
15        and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court
16        Act of 1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the
17        Private Correctional Facility Moratorium Act. (I)
18        Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
19        Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile
20        Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code of 1961, the
21        Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
22        Corrections.
23            (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
24        Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
25        ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
26        subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article

 

 

09700HB2585ham001- 12 -LRB097 07376 RLC 53433 a

1        IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
2        entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
3        was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to
4        appeal.
5            (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
6        people of this State and the validity of future
7        prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
8        the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
9        (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
10    prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
11    for child pornography that may result from challenges to
12    the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
13    re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that
14    was included in Public Act 88-680.
15        (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
16    11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
17    amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
18    question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
19    is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
20    amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
21    amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
22    text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
23    this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
24    was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
25        (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
26    Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to

 

 

09700HB2585ham001- 13 -LRB097 07376 RLC 53433 a

1    child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88-680 is
2    not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
3    Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any
4    legal argument concerning whether those provisions were
5    substantially re-enacted by other Public Acts.
