23    agency or the State's Attorney's office within 30 days  after
24    the  offense  was committed, except when the court finds good
25    cause for the delay.
26        (d)  In  addition  to  the  sentences  provided  for   in
27    Sections  12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,  12-15  and  12-16  of the

SB1224 Enrolled            -11-               LRB9007713RCpcA
 1    is probable cause to believe that an accused has committed  a
 2    violation  of  Section 12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of this Code,
 3    or after an indictment is returned charging an accused with a

 5    at  the  request  of  the  person  who  was the victim of the

18    personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the  victim  and
19    to   the  judge  who  entered  the  order,  for  the  judge's

21    interests  of the victim and the public, the judge shall have
22    the discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the result of
23    the testing may be revealed; however, in no  case  shall  the
24    identity  of  the victim be disclosed.  The court shall order
25    that the cost of the test shall be paid by  the  county,  and
26    may be taxed as costs against the accused if convicted.
27        (f)  Whenever  any law enforcement officer has reasonable
28    cause  to  believe  that  a  person  has  been  delivered   a
29    controlled  substance  without his or her consent, they shall
30    advise  the  victim  about  seeking  medical  treatment   and
31    preserving evidence.

33    has  reasonable  cause  to  believe  that  a  person has been
34    delivered a controlled substance without his or her  consent,

 7        (2)  An  offer  to the victim of testing for the presence
 8    of such controlled substances.
 9        (3)  A disclosure  to  the  victim  that  all  controlled
10    substances   or  alcohol  ingested  by  the  victim  will  be
11    disclosed by the test.
12        (4)  A statement that the test is completely voluntary.
13        (5)  A form for written authorization for sample analysis
14    of all controlled substances  and  alcohol  ingested  by  the
15    victim.
16        No  sample  analysis  may  be performed unless the victim
17    returns a signed written authorization within 48 hours  after
18    the sample was collected.
19        Any  medical treatment, care, or testing shall only be in
20    accordance with the order of a physician licensed to practice
21    medicine in all of its branches.

13        (a)  This Section applies to criminal cases in which:
14             (1)  the  defendant is accused of predatory criminal

23             (3)  the defendant is tried or retried  for  any  of

 1    rebut that proof or an inference  from  that  proof,  may  be
 2    admissible  (if  that  evidence is otherwise admissible under
 3    the rules of evidence) and may be considered for its  bearing
 4    on any matter to which it is relevant.
 5        (c)  In  weighing  the  probative  value  of the evidence
 6    against undue prejudice  to  the  defendant,  the  court  may
 7    consider:
 8             (1)  the   proximity  in  time  to  the  charged  or
 9        predicate offense;
10             (2)  the degree of factual similarity to the charged
11        or predicate offense; or
12             (3)  other relevant facts and circumstances.
13        (d)  In a criminal case in which the prosecution  intends
14    to  offer  evidence  under this Section, it must disclose the
15    evidence, including statements of witnesses or a  summary  of
16    the  substance  of  any  testimony,  at  a reasonable time in
17    advance of trial,  or  during  trial  if  the  court  excuses
18    pretrial notice on good cause shown.
19        (e)  In  a  criminal  case  in  which evidence is offered
20    under this Section, proof may be made by  specific  instances
21    of  conduct,  testimony as to reputation, or testimony in the
22    form of an expert opinion, except that  the  prosecution  may
23    offer  reputation testimony only after the opposing party has
24    offered that testimony.
25        (f)  In prosecutions for a  violation  of  Section  10-2,
26    12-4,  12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,  12-15, 12-16, or 18-5 of the
27    Criminal Code of 1961, involving the involuntary delivery  of
28    a  controlled substance to a victim, no inference may be made
29    about the fact that a victim did not consent to  a  test  for
30    the presence of controlled substances.
