fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced

HB1205 - 11 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b

may impose a sentence of probation only where:
(1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are appropriate:
(A) the defendant is willing to undergo a court
approved counseling program for a minimum duration of 2
years; or
(B) the defendant is willing to participate in a
court approved plan including but not limited to the
defendant's:
(i) removal from the household;
(ii) restricted contact with the victim;
(iii) continued financial support of the
family;
(iv) restitution for harm done to the victim;
and
(v) compliance with any other measures that
the court may deem appropriate; and
(2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the
victim's counseling services, to the extent that the court

HB1205 - 12 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b
finds, after considering the defendant's income and
assets, that the defendant is financially capable of paying
for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age
at the time the offense was committed and requires
counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
restricting contact with the victim or other family members or
commits another offense with the victim or other family
members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
impose a term of imprisonment.
For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and

12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961.

medical testing to determine whether the defendant has any
sexually transmissible disease, including a test for infection
with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Any such medical test shall be performed only by appropriately
licensed medical practitioners and may include an analysis of

HB1205 - 13 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b
any bodily fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's
person. Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of
such test shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical
personnel involved in the testing and must be personally
delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of the court in
which the conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in
camera. 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 results of the testing may be
revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
results. The court shall also notify the victim if requested by
the victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and if

results. The court shall provide information on the
availability of HIV testing and counseling at Department of
Public Health facilities to all parties to whom the results of

transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal Code
of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order that the

taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.

disease, as determined by the Illinois Department of Public
Health including but not limited to tuberculosis, the results
of the test shall be personally delivered by the warden or his
or her designee in a sealed envelope to the judge of the court
in which the inmate must appear for the judge's inspection in
camera if requested by the judge. Acting in accordance with the
best interests of those in the courtroom, the judge shall have
the discretion to determine what if any precautions need to be
taken to prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
(h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense under
Section 1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act, the
defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine whether
the defendant has been exposed to human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) or any other identified causative agent of acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Except as otherwise provided
by law, the results of such test shall be kept strictly
confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing
and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the
judge's inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the
best interests of the public, the judge shall have the
discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the
testing may be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant
of a positive test showing an infection with the human

HB1205 - 15 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
whom the results of the testing are revealed and shall direct
the State's Attorney to provide the information to the victim
when possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to
obtain the results of any HIV test administered under this
Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the
State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a
charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court
shall order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the
county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted
defendant.
(i) All fines and penalties imposed under this Section for
any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and
any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section 27.5
of the Clerks of Courts Act.

11-21, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal
Code of 1961, any violation of the Illinois Controlled

HB1205 - 16 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b
Substances Act, any violation of the Cannabis Control Act, or
any violation of the Methamphetamine Control and Community
Protection Act results in conviction, a disposition of court
supervision, or an order of probation granted under Section 10
of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
Controlled Substance Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act of a defendant, the court
shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a facility
or center as defined under the Child Care Act of 1969, a public
or private elementary or secondary school, or otherwise works
with children under 18 years of age on a daily basis. When a
defendant is so employed, the court shall order the Clerk of
the Court to send a copy of the judgment of conviction or order
of supervision or probation to the defendant's employer by
certified mail. If the employer of the defendant is a school,
the Clerk of the Court shall direct the mailing of a copy of
the judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
to the appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The
regional superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board
of Education of any notification under this subsection.
(j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is convicted
of a felony and who has not been previously convicted of a
misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to a term of
imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections shall as
a condition of his or her sentence be required by the court to
attend educational courses designed to prepare the defendant

HB1205 - 17 - LRB097 06788 RLC 46879 b
for a high school diploma and to work toward a high school
diploma or to work toward passing the high school level Test of
General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
completing a vocational training program offered by the
Department of Corrections. If a defendant fails to complete the
educational training required by his or her sentence during the
term of incarceration, the Prisoner Review Board shall, as a
condition of mandatory supervised release, require the
defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a course of
study toward a high school diploma or passage of the GED test.
The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under
this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high
school diploma or has successfully passed the GED test. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who is
determined by the court to be developmentally disabled or
otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational or
vocational program.
