20 intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination
21 thereof in the content of such person's blood if arrested
22 for any offense of subsection (A) above. The chemical
23 test or tests shall be administered at the direction of
24 the arresting officer. The law enforcement agency
25 employing the officer shall designate which of the tests
26 shall be administered. A urine test may be administered
27 even after a blood or breath test or both has been
28 administered.
29 (1.1.) For the purposes of this Section, an
30 Illinois Law Enforcement officer of this State who is
31 investigating the person for any offense defined in
32 Section 5-16 may travel into an adjoining state, where
33 the person has been transported for medical care to
34 complete an investigation, and may request that the
-5- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 person submit to the test or tests set forth in this
2 Section. The requirements of this Section that the
3 person be arrested are inapplicable, but the officer
4 shall issue the person a uniform citation for an offense
5 as defined in Section 5-16 or a similar provision of a
6 local ordinance prior to requesting that the person
7 submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the uniform
8 citation shall not constitute an arrest, but shall be for
9 the purpose of notifying the person that he or she is
10 subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
11 officer's belief in the existence of probable cause to
12 arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall
13 file the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the
14 county where the offense was committed and shall seek the
15 issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons for the
16 person.
17 (1.2.) Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under
18 this Act to submit to these tests or any ability to
19 revoke the implied consent to these tests, if a law
20 enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that a
21 watercraft operated by or under actual physical control
22 of a person under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
23 drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
24 combination of them has caused the death of or personal
25 injury to another, that person shall submit, upon the
26 request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test
27 or tests of his or her blood, breath, or urine for the
28 purpose of determining the alcohol content or the
29 presence of any other drug, intoxicating compound, or
30 combination of them. For the purposes of this Section, a
31 personal injury includes severe bleeding wounds,
32 distorted extremities, and injuries that require the
33 injured party to be carried from the scene for immediate
34 professional attention in either a doctor's office or a
-6- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 medical facility.
2 2. Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is
3 otherwise in a condition rendering such person incapable
4 of refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the
5 consent provided above, and the test may be administered.
6 3. A person requested to submit to a chemical test
7 as provided above shall be verbally advised by the law
8 enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
9 submit to the test will result in suspension of such
10 person's privilege to operate a watercraft for a minimum
11 of 2 years. Following this warning, if a person under
12 arrest refuses upon the request of a law enforcement
13 officer to submit to a test designated by the officer, no
14 test none shall be given, but the law enforcement officer
15 shall file with the clerk of the circuit court for the
16 county in which the arrest was made, and with the
17 Department of Natural Resources, a sworn statement naming
18 the person refusing to take and complete the chemical
19 test or tests requested under the provisions of this
20 Section. Such sworn statement shall identify the
21 arrested person, such person's current residence address
22 and shall specify that a refusal by such person to take
23 the chemical test or tests was made. Such sworn
24 statement shall include a statement that the arresting
25 officer had reasonable cause to believe the person was
26 operating or was in actual physical control of the
27 watercraft within this State while under the influence of
28 alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
29 compounds, or combination thereof and that such chemical
30 test or tests were made as an incident to and following
31 the lawful arrest for an offense as defined in this
32 Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and
33 that the person after being arrested for an offense
34 arising out of acts alleged to have been committed while
-7- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 so operating a watercraft refused to submit to and
2 complete a chemical test or tests as requested by the law
3 enforcement officer.
4 3.1 The law enforcement officer submitting the
5 sworn statement as provided in paragraph 3 of this
6 subsection (B) shall serve immediate written notice upon
7 the person refusing the chemical test or tests that the
8 person's privilege to operate a watercraft within this
9 State will be suspended for a period of 2 years unless,
10 within 28 days from the date of the notice, the person
11 requests in writing a hearing on the suspension.
12 The clerk shall thereupon notify such person in
13 writing that the person's privilege to operate a
14 watercraft will be suspended unless, within 28 days from
15 the date of mailing of the notice, such person shall
16 request in writing a hearing thereon; If the person
17 desires a hearing, such person shall file a complaint in
18 the circuit court for and in the county in which such
19 person was arrested for such hearing. Such hearing shall
20 proceed in the court in the same manner as other civil
21 proceedings, shall cover only the issues of whether the
22 person was placed under arrest for an offense as defined
23 in this Section or a similar provision of a local
24 ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
25 citation; whether the arresting officer had reasonable
26 grounds to believe that such person was operating a
27 watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, other
28 drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
29 combination thereof; and whether such person refused to
30 submit and complete the chemical test or tests upon the
31 request of the law enforcement officer. Whether the
32 person was informed that such person's privilege to
33 operate a watercraft would be suspended if such person
34 refused to submit to the chemical test or tests shall not
-8- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 be an issue.
2 If the person fails to request in writing a hearing
3 within 28 days from the date of notice, or if a hearing
4 is held and the court finds against the person on the
5 issues before the court, the clerk shall immediately
6 notify the Department of Natural Resources of the court's
7 decision, and the Department shall suspend the watercraft
8 operation privileges of the person for at least 2 years.
9 3.2. If the person submits to a test that discloses
10 an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount
11 of a drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the
12 person's breath, blood, or urine resulting from the
13 unlawful use of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control
14 Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
15 Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound
16 listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law
17 enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn
18 report to the circuit clerk of venue and the Department
19 of Natural Resources, certifying that the test or tests
20 were requested under paragraph 1 of this subsection (B)
21 and the person submitted to testing that disclosed an
22 alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
23 In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of
24 0.08 or greater or any amount of drug, substance or
25 compound resulting from the unlawful use of cannabis, a
26 controlled substance or an intoxicating compound is
27 established by a subsequent analysis of blood or urine
28 collected at the time of arrest, the arresting officer or
29 arresting agency shall immediately submit a sworn report
30 to the circuit clerk of venue and the Department of
31 Natural Resources upon receipt of the test results.
32 4. A person must submit to each chemical test
33 offered by the law enforcement officer in order to comply
34 with the implied consent provisions of this Section.

1 5. The provisions of Section 11-501.2 of the
2 Illinois Vehicle Code, as amended, concerning the
3 certification and use of chemical tests apply to the use
4 of such tests under this Section.
5 (C) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
6 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
7 by any person while operating a watercraft while under the
8 influence of alcohol, the concentration of alcohol in the
9 person's blood or breath at the time alleged as shown by
10 analysis of a person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily
11 substance shall give rise to the presumptions specified in
12 subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of subsection (b) of Section
13 11-501.2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The foregoing
14 provisions of this subsection (C) shall not be construed as
15 limiting the introduction of any other relevant evidence
16 bearing upon the question whether the person was under the
17 influence of alcohol.
18 (D) If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
19 chemical test under the provisions of this Section, evidence
20 of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or criminal
21 action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been
22 committed while the person under the influence of alcohol, or
23 other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
24 combination of them both was operating a watercraft.
25 (E) The owner of any watercraft or any person given
26 supervisory authority over a watercraft, may not knowingly
27 permit a watercraft to be operated by any person under the
28 influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
29 compound or compounds, or combination thereof.
30 (F) Whenever any person is convicted or found guilty of
31 a violation of this Section, including any person placed on
32 court supervision, the court shall notify the Office Division
33 of Law Enforcement of the Department of Natural Resources, to
34 provide the Department with the records essential for the
-10- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 performance of the Department's duties to monitor and enforce
2 any order of suspension or revocation concerning the
3 privilege to operate a watercraft.
4 (G) No person who has been arrested and charged for
5 violating paragraph 1 of subsection (A) of this Section shall
6 operate any watercraft within this State for a period of 24 6
7 hours after such arrest.

20 imposed at the original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the
21 Unified Code of Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on
22 appeal or on collateral attack due to the failure of the
23 trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt
24 the existence of a fact (other than a prior conviction)
25 necessary to increase the punishment for the offense beyond
26 the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the
27 defendant may be re-sentenced to a term within the range
28 otherwise provided or, if the State files notice of its

1 victim at the time of the commission of the offense, the
2 court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
3 may impose a sentence of probation only where:

23 assets, that the defendant is financially capable of
24 paying for such services, if the victim was under 18
25 years of age at the time the offense was committed and
26 requires counseling as a result of the offense.
27 Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
28 5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
29 the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
30 restricting contact with the victim or other family members
31 or commits another offense with the victim or other family
32 members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
33 impose a term of imprisonment.
34 For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and

16 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
17 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
18 fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's person.
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 victim
25 and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
26 determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing may

2 Attorney to provide the information to the victim when
3 possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
4 the results of any HIV test administered under this Section,
5 and the court shall grant the disclosure if the State's
6 Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a charge
7 of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
8 Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall
9 order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the
10 county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted
11 defendant.
12 (g-5) When an inmate is tested for an airborne
13 communicable disease, as determined by the Illinois
14 Department of Public Health including but not limited to
15 tuberculosis, the results of the test shall be personally
16 delivered by the warden or his or her designee in a sealed
17 envelope to the judge of the court in which the inmate must
18 appear for the judge's inspection in camera if requested by
19 the judge. Acting in accordance with the best interests of
20 those in the courtroom, the judge shall have the discretion
21 to determine what if any precautions need to be taken to
22 prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
23 (h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense
24 under Section 1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
25 Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
26 whether the defendant has been exposed to human
27 immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
28 causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
29 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
30 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
31 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
32 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
33 conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
34 Acting in accordance with the best interests of the public,
-24- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
2 anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
3 shall notify the defendant of a positive test showing an
4 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
5 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
6 testing and counseling at Department of Public Health
7 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
8 are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
9 the information to the victim when possible. A State's
10 Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of any
11 HIV test administered under this Section, and the court
12 shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney shows it
13 is relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
14 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal
15 Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
16 that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county
17 and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.

29 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
30 Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
31 Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
32 court supervision, or an order of probation granted under

7 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
8 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
9 employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court

12 appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The regional
13 superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board of
14 Education of any notification under this subsection.
15 (j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is
16 convicted of a felony and who has not been previously

20 required by the court to attend educational courses designed
21 to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
22 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
23 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
24 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
25 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
26 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
27 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
28 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
29 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
30 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
31 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
32 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
33 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
34 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
-26- LRB093 04014 DRH 04053 b
1 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
2 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
3 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
4 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
5 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
6 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
7 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
8 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
9 who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the

23 State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
24 the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
25 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
26 deported when:
27 (1) a final order of deportation has been
28 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
29 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
30 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
31 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
32 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
33 justice.
34 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as

8 custody of the Attorney General of the United States or
9 his or her designated agent when:
10 (1) a final order of deportation has been
11 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
12 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
13 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
14 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
15 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
16 justice.
17 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
18 who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
19 subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.

28 shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
29 for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
