720 ILCS 5/ Criminal Code of 2012.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

there is probable cause to believe that an accused has committed a violation of Section 11-1.20, 11-1.30, or 11-1.40  of this Code, or

(2) after an indictment is returned charging an

accused with a violation of Section 11-1.20, 11-1.30, or 11-1.40 of this Code, or

(3) after a finding that a defendant charged with a

violation of Section 11-1.20, 11-1.30, or 11-1.40  of this Code is unfit to stand trial pursuant to Section 104-16 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 where the finding is made prior to the preliminary hearing, or

positive result, a reliable supplemental
test based upon recommendations of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall be administered.  The results of the tests and any follow-up tests shall be
kept
strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing and
must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the victim, to the defendant, to the State's Attorney, and to the
judge who entered the order, for the judge's inspection in camera.  The judge shall provide to the victim a referral to the Illinois Department of Public Health HIV/AIDS toll-free hotline for counseling and information in connection with the test result. Acting
in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the public, the
judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the result

the victim be disclosed.  The court shall order that the cost of the tests
shall be paid by the county, and shall be taxed as costs against the accused
if convicted.

that a person has been delivered a controlled substance without his or her
consent, the law enforcement officer shall advise the victim about seeking
medical treatment and preserving evidence.

(g) Every hospital providing emergency hospital services to an alleged
sexual assault survivor, when there is reasonable
cause to believe that a person has been delivered a controlled substance
without his or her consent, shall designate personnel to provide:

(1) An explanation to the victim about the nature and

effects of commonly used controlled substances and how such controlled substances are administered.

(2) An offer to the victim of testing for the

presence of such controlled substances.

(3) A disclosure to the victim that all controlled

substances or alcohol ingested by the victim will be disclosed by the test.

returns a signed written authorization within 30 days

after the sample was
collected.

Any medical treatment or care under this subsection shall be only in
accordance with the order of a physician licensed to practice medicine in all
of its branches.  Any testing under this subsection shall be only in accordance
with the order of a licensed individual authorized to order the testing.
