20 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
21 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
22 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
23 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
24 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
25 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
26 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
27 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
28 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
29 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant

1 Section 25. The Probate Act of 1975 is amended by adding
2 Section 2-6.6 as follows:
3 (755 ILCS 5/2-6.6 new)
4 Sec. 2-6.6. Person convicted of certain offenses against
5 the elderly or disabled. A person who is convicted of a
6 violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal
7 Code of 1961 may not receive any property, benefit, or other
8 interest by reason of the death of the victim of that
9 offense, whether as heir, legatee, beneficiary, joint tenant,
10 tenant by the entirety, survivor, appointee, or in any other
11 capacity and whether the property, benefit, or other interest
12 passes pursuant to any form of title registration,
13 testamentary or nontestamentary instrument, intestacy,
14 renunciation, or any other circumstance. The property,
15 benefit, or other interest shall pass as if the person
16 convicted of a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, or 16-1.3
17 of the Criminal Code of 1961 died before the decedent;
18 provided that with respect to joint tenancy property or
19 property held in tenancy by the entirety, the interest
20 possessed prior to the death by the person convicted may not
21 be diminished by the application of this Section.
22 The holder of any property subject to the provisions of
23 this Section is not liable for distributing or releasing the
24 property to the person convicted of violating Section 12-19,
25 12-21, or 16-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the
26 distribution or release occurred before the person's
27 conviction for that offense.
