12    (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
13        (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
14            (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective
15        January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the
16        child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1 of the
17        Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained
18        other provisions.
19            (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled
20        "AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A)
21        Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended the
22        Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled
23        GANGS and amended various provisions of the Criminal
24        Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of Corrections. (C)
25        Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended
26        various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D)

 

 

HB2133 Engrossed- 14 -LRB101 04899 SLF 49908 b

1        Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and amended the
2        Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
3        Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS
4        and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Code of
5        Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35 amended the
6        Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and
7        Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G)
8        Article 40 amended the Criminal Code of 1961 to
9        increase the penalty for compelling organization
10        membership of persons. (H) Article 45 created the
11        Secure Residential Youth Care Facility Licensing Act
12        and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court
13        Act of 1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the
14        Private Correctional Facility Moratorium Act. (I)
15        Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the
16        Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile
17        Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code of 1961, the
18        Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of
19        Corrections.
20            (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
21        Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
22        ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
23        subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
24        IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
25        entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
26        was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to

 

 

HB2133 Engrossed- 15 -LRB101 04899 SLF 49908 b

1        appeal.
2            (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
3        people of this State and the validity of future
4        prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
5        the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
6        (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
7    prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
8    for child pornography that may result from challenges to
9    the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
10    re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that
11    was included in Public Act 88-680.
12        (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
13    11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
14    amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
15    question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
16    is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
17    amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
18    amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
19    text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
20    this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
21    was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
22        (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
23    Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to
24    child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88-680 is
25    not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
26    Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any
