    Sec. 4.  Reports of abuse or neglect.
    (a)  Any  person  who  suspects  the  abuse,  neglect, or
financial exploitation of an eligible adult may  report  this
suspicion  to  an  agency  designated to receive such reports
under this Act or to the Department.
    (a-5)  If any mandated reporter  has  reason  to  believe
that  an eligible adult, who because of dysfunction is unable
to seek assistance for himself or herself,  has,  within  the
previous  12  months,  been  subjected  to abuse, neglect, or
financial exploitation, the mandated reporter  shall,  within
24  hours after developing such belief, report this suspicion
to an agency designated to receive such  reports  under  this
Act  or  to  the Department.  Whenever a mandated reporter is
required to report under this Act in his or her capacity as a
member of the staff of a medical or other public  or  private
institution,  facility, board and care home, or agency, he or
she shall make a report to an agency  designated  to  receive
such   reports  under  this  Act  or  to  the  Department  in
accordance with the provisions  of  this  Act  and  may  also
notify  the  person  in  charge of the institution, facility,
board and care home, or agency or his or her designated agent
that the report has been made.  Under no circumstances  shall
any person in charge of such institution, facility, board and
care  home, or agency, or his or her designated agent to whom
the  notification  has  been  made,  exercise  any   control,
restraint, modification, or other change in the report or the
forwarding  of  the report to an agency designated to receive
such reports under  this  Act  or  to  the  Department.   The
privileged  quality of communication between any professional
person required to report and his or her  patient  or  client
shall not apply to situations involving abused, neglected, or
financially   exploited   eligible   adults   and  shall  not
constitute grounds for failure to report as required by  this
Act.
    (a-7)  A  person  making  a  report under this Act in the
belief that it is in the alleged victim's best interest shall
be immune from criminal or civil  liability  or  professional
disciplinary   action   on  account  of  making  the  report,
notwithstanding    any    requirements     concerning     the
confidentiality  of information with respect to such eligible
adult which might otherwise be applicable.
    (a-9)  Law enforcement officers shall continue to  report
incidents  of alleged abuse pursuant to the Illinois Domestic
Violence Act of 1986, notwithstanding any requirements  under
this Act.
    (b)  Any  person,  institution or agency participating in
the making of a  report,  providing  information  or  records
related   to   a   report,   assessment,   or   services,  or
participating in the investigation of a report under this Act
in good faith, or taking photographs or x-rays as a result of
an authorized assessment, shall have immunity from any civil,
criminal or other liability in any civil, criminal  or  other
proceeding  brought  in  consequence of making such report or
assessment  or  on  account  of   submitting   or   otherwise
disclosing   such   photographs   or  x-rays  to  any  agency
designated to receive reports of alleged or  suspected  abuse
or  neglect.  Any person, institution or agency authorized by
the  Department  to  provide  assessment,  intervention,   or
administrative  services  under  this  Act shall, in the good
faith performance of those services, have immunity  from  any
civil, criminal or other liability in any civil, criminal, or
other  proceeding brought as a consequence of the performance
of those services. For the purposes of any  civil,  criminal,
or other proceeding, the good faith of any person required to
report,   permitted   to   report,  or  participating  in  an
investigation of a report  of  alleged  or  suspected  abuse,
neglect, or financial exploitation shall be presumed.
    (c)  The  identity of a person making a report of alleged
or suspected abuse or neglect under this Act may be disclosed
by the Department or other agency provided for  in  this  Act
only with such person's written consent or by court order.
    (d)  The  Department shall by rule establish a system for
filing and compiling reports made under this Act.
    (e)  Any physician  who  willfully  fails  to  report  as
required  by this Act shall be referred to the Illinois State
Medical Disciplinary Board  for  action  in  accordance  with
subdivision (A)(22) of Section 22 of the Medical Practice Act
of 1987.  Any dentist or dental hygienist who willfully fails
to  report  as  required by this Act shall be referred to the
Department  of  Professional   Regulation   for   action   in

Dental Practice Act.  Any other mandated reporter required by
this Act to report suspected  abuse,  neglect,  or  financial
exploitation who willfully fails to report the same is guilty
of a Class A misdemeanor.

Illinois Vehicle Code, or a  similar  provision  of  a  local
ordinance,   and   the   professional  evaluation  recommends
remedial or rehabilitative treatment  or  education,  neither
the treatment nor the education shall be the sole disposition

or other  drug  evaluation  or  remedial  education  must  be
licensed  by  the  Department of Human Services.  However, if

caused an incident  resulting  in  an  appropriate  emergency
response,  shall  be required to make restitution to a public
agency for  the  costs  of  that  emergency  response.   Such
restitution  shall not exceed $500 per public agency for each
such emergency response.  For the purpose of this  paragraph,
emergency  response  shall  mean  any  incident  requiring  a
response  by: a police officer as defined under Section 1-162
of the Illinois Vehicle Code; a fireman carried on the  rolls
of  a regularly constituted fire department; and an ambulance
as defined  under  Section  4.05  of  the  Emergency  Medical
Services (EMS) Systems Act.
    Neither   a  fine  nor  restitution  shall  be  the  sole
disposition for a felony and either or both  may  be  imposed
only in conjunction with another disposition.
    (c) (1)  When a defendant is found guilty of first degree
    murder   the   State   may  either  seek  a  sentence  of

         that Act which relates to more than  5  grams  of  a
         substance  containing heroin or cocaine or an analog
         thereof.
              (E)  A violation of Section 5.1  or  9  of  the

         paragraph, "organized gang" means an association  of
         5  or  more  persons, with an established hierarchy,
         that  encourages  members  of  the  association   to
         perpetrate crimes or provides support to the members

         (8)  When a defendant, over the age of 21 years,  is
    convicted  of  a  Class 1 or Class 2 felony, after having
    twice been convicted in any state or federal court of  an
    offense that contains the same elements as an offense now

         (9)  A defendant convicted of a second or subsequent
    offense  of  ritualized abuse of a child may be sentenced

         (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

    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
         Section  11-501,  in  addition  to any other penalty
         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.
              (B)  For a second violation of  subsection  (a)
         of  Section 11-501, in addition to any other penalty
         that may be imposed under subsection (c) of  Section
         11-501  within  10  years:  a mandatory minimum of 2
         days of imprisonment and a minimum fine of $1,250.
              (C)  For a third violation of subsection (a) of
         Section 11-501, in addition  to  any  other  penalty

         a sentence of probation or conditional discharge and
         a minimum fine of $2,500.
    (d)  In  any  case in which a sentence originally imposed
is vacated, the case shall be remanded to  the  trial  court.
The  trial  court shall hold a hearing under Section 5-4-1 of
the Unified Code of Corrections which may include evidence of
the defendant's life, moral character and  occupation  during
the  time  since the original sentence was passed.  The trial
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.
    (g)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
under  Sections  11-14,  11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18,
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.
    (i)  All  fines  and penalties imposed under this Section
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
and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under  Section
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
conviction  or  order  of  supervision  or  probation  to the
appropriate regional superintendent of schools.  The regional
superintendent of schools shall notify  the  State  Board  of
Education of any notification under this subsection.
    (j-5)  A  defendant  at  least  17  years  of  age who is
convicted of  a  felony  and  who  has  not  been  previously
convicted  of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
a  term  of  imprisonment  in  the  Illinois  Department   of
Corrections  shall  as  a condition of his or her sentence be
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.
    (k)  A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
a felony or misdemeanor that requires  the  defendant  to  be
implanted  or  injected  with  or  to  use  any form of birth
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.
    (m)  A   person   convicted  of  criminal  defacement  of
property under Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code  of  1961,
in  which  the  property damage exceeds $300 and the property
damaged is a school building, shall  be  ordered  to  perform
community  service  that  may  include  cleanup,  removal, or
painting over the defacement.
    (n)  The court may  sentence  a  person  convicted  of  a
violation  of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 (i) to an impact incarceration  program  if  the
person  is  otherwise eligible for that program under Section
5-8-1.1, (ii) to community service, or (iii) if the person is
an addict or alcoholic, as  defined  in  the  Alcoholism  and
Other  Drug  Abuse  and  Dependency  Act,  to  a substance or
alcohol abuse program licensed under that Act.

    Section 25.  The Probate Act of 1975 is amended by adding
Section 2-6.6 as follows:

    (755 ILCS 5/2-6.6 new)
    Sec. 2-6.6.  Person convicted of certain offenses against
the  elderly  or  disabled.    A person who is convicted of a
violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the  Criminal
Code  of 1961 may not receive any property, benefit, or other
interest by reason  of  the  death  of  the  victim  of  that
offense, whether as heir, legatee, beneficiary, joint tenant,
tenant  by the entirety, survivor, appointee, or in any other
capacity and whether the property, benefit, or other interest
passes  pursuant  to  any   form   of   title   registration,
testamentary   or   nontestamentary   instrument,  intestacy,
renunciation,  or  any  other  circumstance.   The  property,
benefit, or other  interest  shall  pass  as  if  the  person
convicted  of  a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3
of the Criminal  Code  of  1961  died  before  the  decedent;
provided  that  with  respect  to  joint  tenancy property or
property held  in  tenancy  by  the  entirety,  the  interest
possessed  prior to the death by the person convicted may not
be  diminished  by   the   application   of   this   Section.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a  person  convicted  of  a
violation  of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal
Code of  1961  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  property,  a
benefit,  or  an  interest  in  any  capacity  and  under any
circumstances described in this Section if it is demonstrated
by clear and convincing evidence  that  the  victim  of  that
offense   knew  of  the  conviction  and  subsequent  to  the
conviction  expressed  or  ratified  his  or  her  intent  to
transfer the property, benefit, or  interest  to  the  person
convicted  of  a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 in any  manner  contemplated  by
this Section.
    The  holder  of any property subject to the provisions of
this Section is not liable for distributing or releasing  the
property  to the person convicted of violating Section 12-19,
12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
    If the holder is a financial institution, trust  company,
trustee, or similar entity or person, the holder shall not be
liable  for  any  distribution  or  release  of the property,
benefit, or other interest  to  the  person  convicted  of  a
violation  of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961  unless  the  holder  knowingly  distributes  or
releases  the  property,  benefit,  or  other interest to the
person  so  convicted  after  first  having  received  actual
written notice of the conviction in sufficient  time  to  act
upon the notice.
    The Department of State Police shall have access to State
of Illinois databases containing information that may help in
the  identification  or  location of persons convicted of the
offenses enumerated in this Section.  Interagency  agreements
shall be implemented, consistent with security and procedures
established  by the State agency and consistent with the laws
governing the  confidentiality  of  the  information  in  the
databases.  Information shall be used only for administration
of this Section.
