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

sexual abuse under Section 11-1.60 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
11-0.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961.

in which the inmate must appear for the judge's inspection in

best interests of those in the courtroom, the judge shall have

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

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.

    (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,
    Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or
    Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control and Community
    Protection 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, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or
subsection (a) or (b) of Section 12-4.4a, 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.
    (o) Whenever a person is convicted of a sex offense as
defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act, the
