|
| 1 | | (c) The Director or Assistant Director shall have the
| 2 | | emergency powers to temporarily transfer individuals without
| 3 | | formal procedures to any State, county, municipal or regional
| 4 | | correctional or detention institution or facility in the State,
| 5 | | subject to the acceptance of such receiving institution or
| 6 | | facility, or to designate any reasonably secure place in the
| 7 | | State as such an institution or facility and to make transfers
| 8 | | thereto. However, transfers made under emergency powers shall
| 9 | | be reviewed as soon as practicable under Article 8, and shall
| 10 | | be subject to Section 5-905 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987. | 11 | | This Section shall not apply to transfers to the Department of
| 12 | | Human Services which are provided for under
Section 3-8-5 or | 13 | | Section 3-10-5.
| 14 | | (d) The Department shall provide educational programs in | 15 | | each of its institutions and facilities for all
committed | 16 | | persons so that all persons have an opportunity to
attain the | 17 | | achievement level equivalent to the completion of
the twelfth | 18 | | grade in the public school system in this State.
Other higher | 19 | | levels of attainment shall be encouraged and
professional | 20 | | instruction shall be maintained wherever possible.
The | 21 | | Department must allow into each institution and facility of the | 22 | | Department teachers who hold Professional Educator Licenses | 23 | | issued by the State Superintendent of Education under the | 24 | | School Code to teach committed persons. The Department may | 25 | | establish programs of mandatory education and may
establish | 26 | | rules and regulations for the administration of such programs.
|
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 3 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | A person committed to the Department who, during the period of | 2 | | his or her
incarceration, participates in an educational | 3 | | program provided by or through
the Department and through that | 4 | | program is awarded or earns the number of
hours of credit | 5 | | required for the award of an associate, baccalaureate, or
| 6 | | higher degree from a community college, college, or university | 7 | | located in
Illinois shall reimburse the State, through the | 8 | | Department, for the costs
incurred by the State in providing | 9 | | that person during his or her incarceration
with the education | 10 | | that qualifies him or her for the award of that degree. The
| 11 | | costs for which reimbursement is required under this subsection | 12 | | shall be
determined and computed by the Department under rules | 13 | | and regulations that
it shall establish for that purpose. | 14 | | However, interest at the rate of 6%
per annum shall be charged | 15 | | on the balance of those costs from time to time
remaining | 16 | | unpaid, from the date of the person's parole, mandatory | 17 | | supervised
release, or release constituting a final | 18 | | termination of his or her commitment
to the Department until | 19 | | paid.
| 20 | | (d-1) Recognizing that there is a positive correlation | 21 | | between educational opportunities and
reduced recidivism, it | 22 | | is the intent of the General Assembly to offer appropriate | 23 | | post-secondary opportunities to committed persons. The | 24 | | Department shall provide vocational training for committed | 25 | | persons in each institution and facility of the Department. | 26 | | The Department shall create a 5-year pilot program |
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 4 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | instituted within the Department of Corrections. The program | 2 | | shall allow committed persons to receive a post-secondary | 3 | | education. The post-secondary educational programs shall be | 4 | | provided by accredited public colleges, community colleges, | 5 | | and 4-year universities that provide an associate or | 6 | | baccalaureate degree program. The colleges and universities | 7 | | must have an agreement with the Department or be invited to | 8 | | participate in the program by the Department.
The | 9 | | post-secondary educational program shall be provided to those | 10 | | committed persons who: | 11 | | (1) have a high school diploma or GED; | 12 | | (2) are not in a maximum security level facility; and | 13 | | (3) will be released from the Department facility in no | 14 | | more than 10 years. | 15 | | The post-secondary educational program shall meet the | 16 | | following requirements: | 17 | | (1) be taught by licensed teachers and professors; | 18 | | (2) offer accredited college courses; and | 19 | | (3) provide the required certification for the degree, | 20 | | trade, or occupation. | 21 | | Any committed person who agrees to participate in the | 22 | | post-secondary educational program shall remain in that | 23 | | facility unless released or removal is required for the | 24 | | well-being of the inmate. If a committed person is moved to | 25 | | another facility, the committed person shall be able to | 26 | | complete the educational program to which he or she enrolled. |
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 5 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | If that facility does not have the program, a substantially | 2 | | similar program shall be offered and the credits received shall | 3 | | be transferred to the applicable program. | 4 | | (d-5) A person committed to the Department is entitled to | 5 | | confidential testing for infection with human immunodeficiency | 6 | | virus (HIV) and to counseling in connection with such testing, | 7 | | with no copay to the committed person. A person committed to | 8 | | the Department who has tested positive for infection with HIV | 9 | | is entitled to medical care while incarcerated, counseling, and | 10 | | referrals to support services, in connection with that positive | 11 | | test result. Implementation of this subsection (d-5) is subject | 12 | | to appropriation.
| 13 | | (e) A person committed to the Department who becomes in | 14 | | need
of medical or surgical treatment but is incapable of | 15 | | giving
consent thereto shall receive such medical or surgical | 16 | | treatment
by the chief administrative officer consenting on the | 17 | | person's behalf.
Before the chief administrative officer | 18 | | consents, he or she shall
obtain the advice of one or more | 19 | | physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all its branches in | 20 | | this State. If such physician or physicians advise:
| 21 | | (1) that immediate medical or surgical treatment is | 22 | | required
relative to a condition threatening to cause | 23 | | death, damage or
impairment to bodily functions, or | 24 | | disfigurement; and
| 25 | | (2) that the person is not capable of giving consent to | 26 | | such treatment;
the chief administrative officer may give |
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 6 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | consent for such
medical or surgical treatment, and such | 2 | | consent shall be
deemed to be the consent of the person for | 3 | | all purposes,
including, but not limited to, the authority | 4 | | of a physician
to give such treatment. | 5 | | (e-5) If a physician providing medical care to a committed | 6 | | person on behalf of the Department advises the chief | 7 | | administrative officer that the committed person's mental or | 8 | | physical health has deteriorated as a result of the cessation | 9 | | of ingestion of food or liquid to the point where medical or | 10 | | surgical treatment is required to prevent death, damage, or | 11 | | impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative | 12 | | officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.
| 13 | | (f) In the event that the person requires medical care and
| 14 | | treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
| 15 | | the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
| 16 | | by the Department.
The Department shall require the committed | 17 | | person receiving medical or dental
services on a non-emergency | 18 | | basis to pay a $5 co-payment to the Department for
each visit | 19 | | for medical or dental services. The amount of each co-payment | 20 | | shall be deducted from the
committed person's individual | 21 | | account.
A committed person who has a chronic illness, as | 22 | | defined by Department rules
and regulations, shall be exempt | 23 | | from the $5 co-payment for treatment of the
chronic illness. A | 24 | | committed person shall not be subject to a $5 co-payment
for | 25 | | follow-up visits ordered by a physician, who is employed by, or | 26 | | contracts
with, the Department. A committed person who is |
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 7 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | indigent is exempt from the
$5 co-payment
and is entitled to | 2 | | receive medical or dental services on the same basis as a
| 3 | | committed person who is financially able to afford the | 4 | | co-payment.
For purposes of this Section only, "indigent" means | 5 | | a committed person who has $20 or less in his or her Inmate | 6 | | Trust Fund at the time of such services and for the 30 days | 7 | | prior to such services. Notwithstanding any other provision in | 8 | | this subsection (f) to the contrary,
any person committed to | 9 | | any facility operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice, as | 10 | | set
forth in Section 3-2.5-15 of this Code, is exempt from the
| 11 | | co-payment requirement for the duration of confinement in those | 12 | | facilities.
| 13 | | (g) Any person having sole custody of a child at
the time | 14 | | of commitment or any woman giving birth to a child after
her | 15 | | commitment, may arrange through the Department of Children
and | 16 | | Family Services for suitable placement of the child outside
of | 17 | | the Department of Corrections. The Director of the Department
| 18 | | of Corrections may determine that there are special reasons why
| 19 | | the child should continue in the custody of the mother until | 20 | | the
child is 6 years old.
| 21 | | (h) The Department may provide Family Responsibility | 22 | | Services which
may consist of, but not be limited to the | 23 | | following:
| 24 | | (1) family advocacy counseling;
| 25 | | (2) parent self-help group;
| 26 | | (3) parenting skills training;
|
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 8 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |

| 1 | | (4) parent and child overnight program;
| 2 | | (5) parent and child reunification counseling, either | 3 | | separately or
together, preceding the inmate's release; | 4 | | and
| 5 | | (6) a prerelease reunification staffing involving the | 6 | | family advocate,
the inmate and the child's counselor, or | 7 | | both and the inmate.
| 8 | | (i) (Blank).
| 9 | | (j) Any person convicted of a sex offense as defined in the | 10 | | Sex Offender
Management Board Act shall be required to receive | 11 | | a sex offender evaluation
prior to release into the community | 12 | | from the Department of Corrections. The
sex offender evaluation | 13 | | shall be conducted in conformance with the standards
and | 14 | | guidelines developed under
the Sex Offender Management Board | 15 | | Act and by an evaluator approved by the
Board.
| 16 | | (k) Any minor committed to the Department of Juvenile | 17 | | Justice
for a sex offense as defined by the Sex Offender | 18 | | Management Board Act shall be
required to undergo sex offender | 19 | | treatment by a treatment provider approved by
the Board and | 20 | | conducted in conformance with the Sex Offender Management Board
| 21 | | Act.
| 22 | | (l) Prior to the release of any inmate committed to a | 23 | | facility of the Department or the Department of Juvenile | 24 | | Justice, the Department must provide the inmate with | 25 | | appropriate information verbally, in writing, by video, or | 26 | | other electronic means, concerning HIV and AIDS. The Department |
| | | 10000HB3831ham001 | - 9 - | LRB100 08922 RLC 25395 a |
|
| 1 | | shall develop the informational materials in consultation with | 2 | | the Department of Public Health. At the same time, the | 3 | | Department must also offer the committed person the option of | 4 | | testing for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), | 5 | | with no copayment for the test. Pre-test information shall be | 6 | | provided to the committed person and informed consent obtained | 7 | | as required in subsection (d) of Section 3 and Section 5 of the | 8 | | AIDS Confidentiality Act.

If the Department conducts opt-out HIV testing, the | 11 | | Department shall place signs in English, Spanish and other | 12 | | languages as needed in multiple, highly visible locations in | 13 | | the area where HIV testing is conducted informing inmates that | 14 | | they will be tested for HIV unless they refuse, and refusal or | 15 | | acceptance of testing shall be documented in the inmate's | 16 | | medical record. The Department shall follow procedures | 17 | | established by the Department of Public Health to conduct HIV | 18 | | testing and testing to confirm positive HIV test results. All | 19 | | testing must be conducted by medical personnel, but pre-test | 20 | | and other information may be provided by committed persons who | 21 | | have received appropriate training. The Department, in | 22 | | conjunction with the Department of Public Health, shall develop | 23 | | a plan that complies with the AIDS Confidentiality Act to | 24 | | deliver confidentially all positive or negative HIV test | 25 | | results to inmates or former inmates.

If the test result is positive, a | 9 | | reliable supplemental test based upon recommendations of the | 10 | | United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall | 11 | | be
administered.
| 12 | | Prior to the release of an inmate who the Department knows | 13 | | has tested positive for infection with HIV, the Department in a | 14 | | timely manner shall offer the inmate transitional case | 15 | | management, including referrals to other support services.
