16        while transporting a child under the age of 16:
17                  (A)  For a first violation of subsection (a) of
18             Section  11-501,  in  addition  to any other penalty
19             that may be imposed under subsection (c) of  Section
20             11-501:   a   mandatory  minimum  of  100  hours  of
21             community service and a minimum fine of $500.

28             Section 11-501, in addition  to  any  other  penalty
29             that  may be imposed under subsection (c) of Section

 2        (d)  In  any  case in which a sentence originally imposed
 3    is vacated, the case shall be remanded to  the  trial  court.

 5    the Unified Code of Corrections which may include evidence of
 6    the defendant's life, moral character and  occupation  during
 7    the  time  since the original sentence was passed.  The trial
 8    court shall then impose sentence  upon  the  defendant.   The
 9    trial  court  may  impose  any sentence which could have been
10    imposed at the original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the
11    Unified Code of Corrections. If  a  sentence  is  vacated  on
12    appeal  or  on  collateral  attack  due to the failure of the
13    trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt
14    the existence of a  fact  (other  than  a  prior  conviction)
15    necessary  to  increase the punishment for the offense beyond
16    the  statutory  maximum  otherwise  applicable,  either   the
17    defendant  may  be  re-sentenced  to  a term within the range
18    otherwise provided or, if  the  State  files  notice  of  its
19    intention  to again seek the extended sentence, the defendant
20    shall be afforded a new trial.

22    assault or aggravated criminal  sexual  abuse  under  Section
23    12-13  or  12-16  of  the  Criminal  Code  of 1961 results in
24    conviction of a defendant who was  a  family  member  of  the
25    victim  at  the  time  of  the commission of the offense, the
26    court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
27    may impose a sentence of probation only where:
28             (1)  the  court  finds  (A)  or  (B)  or  both   are
29        appropriate:
30                  (A)  the  defendant  is  willing  to  undergo a
31             court approved  counseling  program  for  a  minimum
32             duration of 2 years; or
33                  (B)  the defendant is willing to participate in
34             a  court  approved plan including but not limited to

 5                  family;
 6                       (iv)  restitution  for  harm  done  to the
 7                  victim; and
 8                       (v)  compliance with  any  other  measures
 9                  that the court may deem appropriate; and
10             (2)  the  court  orders the defendant to pay for the
11        victim's counseling services,  to  the  extent  that  the
12        court finds, after considering the defendant's income and
13        assets,  that  the  defendant  is  financially capable of
14        paying for such services, if  the  victim  was  under  18
15        years  of  age  at the time the offense was committed and
16        requires counseling as a result of the offense.
17        Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to  Section
18    5-6-4;  except where the court determines at the hearing that
19    the defendant violated a condition of his  or  her  probation
20    restricting  contact  with the victim or other family members
21    or commits another offense with the victim  or  other  family
22    members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
23    impose a term of imprisonment.
24        For  the  purposes  of  this Section, "family member" and
25    "victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in  Section
26    12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
27        (f)  This  Article  shall  not  deprive  a court in other
28    proceedings to order a forfeiture of property, to suspend  or
29    cancel  a  license,  to  remove  a  person from office, or to
30    impose any other civil penalty.
31        (g)  Whenever a defendant  is  convicted  of  an  offense
32    under  Sections  11-14,  11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18,

 3    test for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or

 6    shall be performed only  by  appropriately  licensed  medical
 7    practitioners  and  may  include  an  analysis  of any bodily
 8    fluids as well as an examination of the  defendant's  person.
 9    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
10    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
11    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
12    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
13    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
14    Acting in accordance with the best interests  of  the  victim
15    and  the  public,  the  judge  shall  have  the discretion to
16    determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing  may
17    be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
18    results.  The court shall also notify the victim if requested
19    by  the  victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
20    if requested by the victim's parents or legal  guardian,  the
21    court  shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of
22    the test results.  The court shall provide information on the
23    availability of HIV testing and counseling at  Department  of
24    Public  Health  facilities to all parties to whom the results
25    of the testing are revealed  and  shall  direct  the  State's
26    Attorney  to  provide  the  information  to  the  victim when
27    possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
28    the results of any HIV test administered under this  Section,
29    and  the  court  shall  grant  the  disclosure if the State's
30    Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a  charge
31    of  criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
32    Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant.  The court shall
33    order that the cost of any such test shall  be  paid  by  the
34    county  and  may  be  taxed  as  costs  against the convicted

 5    tuberculosis,  the  results  of  the test shall be personally
 6    delivered by the warden or his or her designee  in  a  sealed
 7    envelope  to  the judge of the court in which the inmate must
 8    appear for the judge's inspection in camera if  requested  by
 9    the  judge.   Acting in accordance with the best interests of
10    those in the courtroom, the judge shall have  the  discretion
11    to  determine  what  if  any  precautions need to be taken to
12    prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.

14    under  Section  1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
15    Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
16    whether   the   defendant   has   been   exposed   to   human
17    immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or   any   other   identified
18    causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
19    Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
20    shall  be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
21    involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
22    sealed envelope to the  judge  of  the  court  in  which  the
23    conviction  was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
24    Acting in accordance with the best interests of  the  public,
25    the  judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
26    anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
27    shall notify the defendant of  a  positive  test  showing  an
28    infection  with  the  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
29    court shall provide information on the  availability  of  HIV
30    testing   and  counseling  at  Department  of  Public  Health
31    facilities to all parties to whom the results of the  testing
32    are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
33    the  information  to  the  victim  when  possible.  A State's
34    Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of  any

 1    HIV  test  administered  under  this   Section, and the court
 2    shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney  shows  it
 3    is  relevant  in  order  to  prosecute  a  charge of criminal
 4    transmission of HIV under Section  12-16.2  of  the  Criminal
 5    Code  of  1961  against  the defendant. The court shall order
 6    that the cost of any such test shall be paid  by  the  county
 7    and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
 8        (i)  All  fines  and penalties imposed under this Section
 9    for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
10    Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of  a  local  ordinance,
11    and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
12    similar  provision  of  a local ordinance, shall be collected
13    and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under  Section

15        (j)  In  cases  when  prosecution  for  any  violation of
16    Section 11-6,  11-8,  11-9,  11-11,  11-14,  11-15,  11-15.1,
17    11-16,   11-17,  11-17.1,  11-18,  11-18.1,  11-19,  11-19.1,
18    11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,  12-15,  or
19    12-16  of  the  Criminal  Code  of 1961, any violation of the
20    Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation  of  the
21    Cannabis  Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
22    court supervision, or an order  of  probation  granted  under
23    Section  10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
24    Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant,  the  court
25    shall  determine  whether  the  defendant  is  employed  by a
26    facility or center as defined under the  Child  Care  Act  of
27    1969,  a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
28    otherwise works with children under 18  years  of  age  on  a
29    daily  basis.   When  a  defendant  is so employed, the court
30    shall order the Clerk of the Court to  send  a  copy  of  the
31    judgment  of  conviction or order of supervision or probation
32    to  the  defendant's  employer  by  certified  mail.  If  the
33    employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
34    shall direct the  mailing  of  a  copy  of  the  judgment  of
 
                            -29-     LRB093 02293 DRJ 02708 b
 1    conviction  or  order  of  supervision  or  probation  to the
 2    appropriate regional superintendent of schools.  The regional
 3    superintendent of schools shall notify  the  State  Board  of
 4    Education of any notification under this subsection.
 5        (j-5)  A  defendant  at  least  17  years  of  age who is
 6    convicted of  a  felony  and  who  has  not  been  previously
 7    convicted  of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
 8    a  term  of  imprisonment  in  the  Illinois  Department   of
 9    Corrections  shall  as  a condition of his or her sentence be
10    required by the court to attend educational courses  designed
11    to  prepare  the  defendant  for a high school diploma and to
12    work toward a high school diploma or to work  toward  passing
13    the high school level Test of General Educational Development
14    (GED)  or  to  work  toward  completing a vocational training
15    program offered by  the  Department  of  Corrections.   If  a
16    defendant fails to complete the educational training required
17    by  his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
18    Prisoner Review Board shall,  as  a  condition  of  mandatory
19    supervised  release, require the defendant, at his or her own
20    expense, to pursue a course of study  toward  a  high  school
21    diploma  or  passage  of  the  GED test.  The Prisoner Review
22    Board shall revoke the  mandatory  supervised  release  of  a
23    defendant  who  wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
24    (j-5) upon his or her release from  confinement  in  a  penal
25    institution  while  serving  a  mandatory  supervised release
26    term; however, the inability of the defendant after making  a
27    good  faith  effort  to  obtain  financial aid or pay for the
28    educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure  to
29    comply.    The  Prisoner  Review  Board  shall  recommit  the
30    defendant whose mandatory supervised release  term  has  been
31    revoked  under  this  subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
32    3-3-9.  This subsection (j-5) does not apply to  a  defendant
33    who  has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
34    GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
 
                            -30-     LRB093 02293 DRJ 02708 b
 1    who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
 2    or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
 3    or vocational program.
 4        (k)  A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
 5    a felony or misdemeanor that requires  the  defendant  to  be
 6    implanted  or  injected  with  or  to  use  any form of birth
 7    control.
 8        (l) (A)  Except  as  provided   in   paragraph   (C)   of
 9        subsection  (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as
10        defined  by  the  Immigration  and  Nationality  Act,  is
11        convicted of any felony or misdemeanor offense, the court
12        after sentencing the defendant may, upon  motion  of  the
13        State's  Attorney,  hold  sentence in abeyance and remand
14        the defendant to the custody of the Attorney  General  of
15        the  United  States  or his or her designated agent to be
16        deported when:
17                  (1)  a final  order  of  deportation  has  been
18             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
19             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
20                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
21             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
22             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
23             justice.
24             Otherwise,  the  defendant  shall  be  sentenced  as
25        provided in this Chapter V.
26             (B)  If the defendant has already been sentenced for
27        a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has  been  placed  on
28        probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
29        Section  410  of  the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
30        the court may, upon motion of  the  State's  Attorney  to
31        suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
32        custody  of  the Attorney General of the United States or
33        his or her designated agent when:
34                  (1)  a final  order  of  deportation  has  been
 
                            -31-     LRB093 02293 DRJ 02708 b
 1             issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
 2             under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
 3                  (2)  the deportation of the defendant would not
 4             deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
 5             and  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the ends of
 6             justice.
 7             (C)  This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
 8        who are subject to the provisions  of  paragraph  (2)  of
 9        subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
10             (D)  Upon  motion  of  the  State's  Attorney,  if a
11        defendant sentenced under this  Section  returns  to  the
12        jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
13        recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or
14        she  was  sentenced.  Thereafter,  the defendant shall be
15        brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
16        sentence that was available under Section  5-5-3  at  the
17        time  of  initial sentencing.  In addition, the defendant
18        shall not be eligible for additional good conduct  credit
19        for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
20        (m)  A   person   convicted  of  criminal  defacement  of
21    property under Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code  of  1961,
22    in  which  the  property damage exceeds $300 and the property
23    damaged is a school building, shall  be  ordered  to  perform
24    community  service  that  may  include  cleanup,  removal, or
25    painting over the defacement.
26        (n)  The court may  sentence  a  person  convicted  of  a
27    violation  of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal
28    Code of 1961 (i) to an impact incarceration  program  if  the
29    person  is  otherwise eligible for that program under Section
30    5-8-1.1, (ii) to community service, or (iii) if the person is
31    an addict or alcoholic, as  defined  in  the  Alcoholism  and
32    Other  Drug  Abuse  and  Dependency  Act,  to  a substance or
33    alcohol abuse program licensed under that Act.

10    the  elderly  or  disabled.    A person who is convicted of a
11    violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the  Criminal
12    Code  of 1961 may not receive any property, benefit, or other
13    interest by reason  of  the  death  of  the  victim  of  that
14    offense, whether as heir, legatee, beneficiary, joint tenant,
15    tenant  by the entirety, survivor, appointee, or in any other
16    capacity and whether the property, benefit, or other interest
17    passes  pursuant  to  any   form   of   title   registration,

19    renunciation,  or  any  other  circumstance.   The  property,

21    convicted  of  a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3
22    of the Criminal  Code  of  1961  died  before  the  decedent;
23    provided  that  with  respect  to  joint  tenancy property or

25    possessed  prior to the death by the person convicted may not
26    be diminished by the application of this Section.
27        The holder of any property subject to the  provisions  of
