24        assets,  that  the  defendant  is  financially capable of
25        paying for such services, if  the  victim  was  under  18
26        years  of  age  at the time the offense was committed and
27        requires counseling as a result of the offense.
28        Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to  Section

31    restricting  contact  with the victim or other family members
32    or commits another offense with the victim  or  other  family
33    members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
34    impose a term of imprisonment.

18    practitioners  and  may  include  an  analysis  of any bodily
19    fluids as well as an examination of the  defendant's  person.
20    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
21    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel

28    be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
29    results.  The court shall also notify the victim if requested
30    by  the  victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
31    if requested by the victim's parents or legal  guardian,  the
32    court  shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of

 6    and  the  court  shall  grant  the  disclosure if the State's
 7    Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a  charge
 8    of  criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
 9    Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant.  The court shall
10    order that the cost of any such test shall  be  paid  by  the
11    county  and  may  be  taxed  as  costs  against the convicted
12    defendant.

14    communicable   disease,   as   determined   by  the  Illinois
15    Department of Public Health  including  but  not  limited  to
16    tuberculosis,  the  results  of  the test shall be personally
17    delivered by the warden or his or her designee  in  a  sealed
18    envelope  to  the judge of the court in which the inmate must
19    appear for the judge's inspection in camera if  requested  by
20    the  judge.   Acting in accordance with the best interests of
21    those in the courtroom, the judge shall have  the  discretion
22    to  determine  what  if  any  precautions need to be taken to
23    prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
24        (h)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
25    under  Section  1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
26    Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine

28    immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or   any   other   identified
29    causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
30    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
31    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
32    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
33    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the

 8    facilities to all parties to whom the results of the  testing
 9    are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide

11    Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of  any
12    HIV  test  administered  under  this   Section, and the court

15    transmission of HIV under Section  12-16.2  of  the  Criminal
16    Code  of  1961  against  the defendant. The court shall order
17    that the cost of any such test shall be paid  by  the  county
18    and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
19        (i)  All  fines  and penalties imposed under this Section
20    for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois

 8    judgment  of  conviction or order of supervision or probation
 9    to  the  defendant's  employer  by  certified  mail.  If  the
10    employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
11    shall direct the  mailing  of  a  copy  of  the  judgment  of
12    conviction  or  order  of  supervision  or  probation  to the
13    appropriate regional superintendent of schools.  The regional
14    superintendent of schools shall notify  the  State  Board  of
15    Education of any notification under this subsection.
16        (j-5)  A  defendant  at  least  17  years  of  age who is
17    convicted of  a  felony  and  who  has  not  been  previously
18    convicted  of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
19    a  term  of  imprisonment  in  the  Illinois  Department   of
20    Corrections  shall  as  a condition of his or her sentence be

23    work toward a high school diploma or to work  toward  passing
24    the high school level Test of General Educational Development
25    (GED)  or  to  work  toward  completing a vocational training
26    program offered by  the  Department  of  Corrections.   If  a
27    defendant fails to complete the educational training required
28    by  his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
29    Prisoner Review Board shall,  as  a  condition  of  mandatory
30    supervised  release, require the defendant, at his or her own
31    expense, to pursue a course of study  toward  a  high  school
32    diploma  or  passage  of  the  GED test.  The Prisoner Review
33    Board shall revoke the  mandatory  supervised  release  of  a
34    defendant  who  wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
 
HB0115 Engrossed            -14-               LRB9100786RCks
 1    (j-5) upon his or her release from  confinement  in  a  penal
 2    institution  while  serving  a  mandatory  supervised release
 3    term; however, the inability of the defendant after making  a
 4    good  faith  effort  to  obtain  financial aid or pay for the
 5    educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure  to
 6    comply.    The  Prisoner  Review  Board  shall  recommit  the
 7    defendant whose mandatory supervised release  term  has  been
 8    revoked  under  this  subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
 9    3-3-9.  This subsection (j-5) does not apply to  a  defendant
10    who  has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
11    GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
12    who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
13    or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
14    or vocational program.
15        (k)  A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
16    a felony or misdemeanor that requires  the  defendant  to  be

18    control.
19        (l) (A)  Except  as  provided   in   paragraph   (C)   of
20        subsection  (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as
21        defined  by  the  Immigration  and  Nationality  Act,  is
22        convicted of any felony or misdemeanor offense, the court
23        after sentencing the defendant may, upon  motion  of  the
24        State's  Attorney,  hold  sentence in abeyance and remand
25        the defendant to the custody of the Attorney  General  of
26        the  United  States  or his or her designated agent to be
27        deported when:
28                  (1)  a final  order  of  deportation  has  been
29             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
30             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
31                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
32             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
33             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
34             justice.

 2        provided in this Chapter V.
 3             (B)  If the defendant has already been sentenced for
 4        a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has  been  placed  on
 5        probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
 6        Section  410  of  the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
 7        the court may, upon motion of  the  State's  Attorney  to
 8        suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
 9        custody  of  the Attorney General of the United States or
10        his or her designated agent when:
11                  (1)  a final  order  of  deportation  has  been
12             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
13             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
14                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
15             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
16             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
17             justice.
18             (C)  This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
19        who are subject to the provisions  of  paragraph  (2)  of
20        subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
21             (D)  Upon  motion  of  the  State's  Attorney,  if a
22        defendant sentenced under this  Section  returns  to  the
23        jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
24        recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or
25        she  was  sentenced.  Thereafter,  the defendant shall be
26        brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
27        sentence that was available under Section  5-5-3  at  the
28        time  of  initial sentencing.  In addition, the defendant
29        shall not be eligible for additional good conduct  credit
30        for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
