| 9 | agency from taking any action authorized under subsection (5) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | of Section 107-2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | amended by changing Section 107-2 as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | (725 ILCS 5/107-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 107-2) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | Sec. 107-2. Arrest by peace officer. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | (1) A peace officer may arrest a person when: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | (a) He has a warrant commanding that such person be | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | arrested; or | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | (b) He has reasonable grounds to believe that a | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | warrant for the person's arrest has been issued in this | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | State or in another jurisdiction; or | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | (c) He has reasonable grounds to believe that the | |||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | person is committing or has committed an offense. | ||||||
| 2 | (2) Whenever a peace officer arrests a person, the officer | ||||||
| 3 | shall question the arrestee as to whether he or she has any | ||||||
| 4 | children under the age of 18 living with him or her who may be | ||||||
| 5 | neglected as a result of the arrest or otherwise. The peace | ||||||
| 6 | officer shall assist the arrestee in the placement of the | ||||||
| 7 | children with a relative or other responsible person | ||||||
| 8 | designated by the arrestee. If the peace officer has | ||||||
| 9 | reasonable cause to believe that a child may be a neglected | ||||||
| 10 | child as defined in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting | ||||||
| 11 | Act, he shall report it immediately to the Department of | ||||||
| 12 | Children and Family Services as provided in that Act. | ||||||
| 13 | (3) A peace officer who executes a warrant of arrest in | ||||||
| 14 | good faith beyond the geographical limitation of the warrant | ||||||
| 15 | shall not be liable for false arrest. | ||||||
| 16 | (4) Whenever a peace officer is aware of a warrant of | ||||||
| 17 | arrest issued by a circuit court of this State for a person and | ||||||
| 18 | the peace officer has contact with the person because the | ||||||
| 19 | person is requesting or receiving emergency medical assistance | ||||||
| 20 | or medical forensic services for sexual assault at a medical | ||||||
| 21 | facility, if the warrant of arrest is not for a forcible felony | ||||||
| 22 | as defined in Section 2-8 of the Criminal Code of 2012, a | ||||||
| 23 | violent crime as defined in subsection (c) of Section 3 of the | ||||||
| 24 | Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, or an alleged | ||||||
| 25 | violation of parole or mandatory supervised release, the peace | ||||||
| 26 | officer shall contact the prosecuting authority of the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | jurisdiction issuing the warrant, or if that prosecutor is not | ||||||
| 2 | available, the prosecuting authority for the jurisdiction that | ||||||
| 3 | covers the medical facility to request waiver of the prompt | ||||||
| 4 | execution of the warrant. The prosecuting authority may secure | ||||||
| 5 | a court order waiving the immediate execution of the warrant | ||||||
| 6 | and provide a copy to the peace officer. As used in this | ||||||
| 7 | subsection (4), "sexual assault" means an act of sexual | ||||||
| 8 | conduct or sexual penetration defined in Section 11-0.1 of the | ||||||
| 9 | Criminal Code of 2012, including without limitation, acts | ||||||
| 10 | prohibited under Sections 11-1.20 through 11-1.60 of the | ||||||
| 11 | Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
| 12 | (4.5) Whenever a peace officer has a warrant of arrest for | ||||||
| 13 | a person, subject to the same limitations described in | ||||||
| 14 | subsection (4), and the peace officer has contact with the | ||||||
| 15 | person because the person reported that he or she was sexually | ||||||
| 16 | assaulted within the past 7 days, in addition to informing the | ||||||
| 17 | person of his or her right to seek free medical attention and | ||||||
| 18 | evidence collection and providing the written notice required | ||||||
| 19 | by Section 25 of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act, | ||||||
| 20 | the officer shall also notify the person that if he or she | ||||||
| 21 | chooses to go to a medical facility to seek any of those | ||||||
| 22 | services, then the officer shall inform the prosecuting | ||||||
| 23 | authority to request waiver of the prompt execution of the | ||||||
| 24 | warrant. | ||||||
| 25 | (5) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, a peace | ||||||
| 26 | officer who arrests a person for a felony and reasonably | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | believes that the person arrested is residing in the United | ||||||
| 2 | States in violation of the federal Immigration and Nationality | ||||||
| 3 | Act, may inquire about the immigration status of the person | ||||||
| 4 | arrested. The peace officer may notify U.S. Immigration and | ||||||
| 5 | Customs Enforcement of the person's arrest and pending | ||||||
| 6 | prosecution when the peace officer reasonably believes that | ||||||
| 7 | the person arrested for a felony is residing in the United | ||||||
| 8 | States in violation of the federal Immigration and Nationality | ||||||
| 9 | Act. Upon request from any federal agency, law enforcement | ||||||
| 10 | agencies shall provide known immigration status of any person | ||||||
| 11 | arrested or charged with a felony. | ||||||
