24 may impose any sentence which could have been imposed at the
25 original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code of
26 Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
27 collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
28 trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a
29 fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
30 punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
31 otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced
32 to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State
33 files notice of its intention to again seek the extended
34 sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.

7         approved counseling program for a minimum duration of 2
8         years; or

16                 (iv) restitution for harm done to the victim;

18                 (v) compliance with any other measures that
19             the court may deem appropriate; and
20         (2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the
21     victim's counseling services, to the extent that the court
22     finds, after considering the defendant's income and
23     assets, that the defendant is financially capable of paying
24     for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age
25     at the time the offense was committed and requires
26     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 or
31 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
35 "victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section

18 defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine whether
19 the defendant has been exposed to human immunodeficiency virus
20 (HIV) or any other identified causative agent of acquired
21 immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Except as otherwise provided
22 by law, the results of such test shall be kept strictly
23 confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing
24 and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
25 judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the
26 judge's inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the
27 best interests of the public, the judge shall have the

29 testing may be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant
30 of a positive test showing an infection with the human
31 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
32 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
33 at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
34 whom the results of the testing are revealed and shall direct
35 the State's Attorney to provide the information to the victim

4 charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of
5 the Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court
6 shall order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the
7 county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted

26 defendant is employed by a facility or center as defined under
27 the Child Care Act of 1969, a public or private elementary or
28 secondary school, or otherwise works with children under 18
29 years of age on a daily basis. When a defendant is so employed,
30 the court shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of
31 the judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
32 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the employer
33 of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court shall
34 direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of conviction or

3     (j-1) A defendant that is convicted of violating subsection
4 (c) of Section 402 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,

21 diploma or to work toward passing the high school level Test of
22 General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
23 completing a vocational training program offered by the
24 Department of Corrections. If a defendant fails to complete the
25 educational training required by his or her sentence during the
26 term of incarceration, the Prisoner Review Board shall, as a
27 condition of mandatory supervised release, require the
28 defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a course of
29 study toward a high school diploma or passage of the GED test.
30 The Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
31 release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
32 subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
33 penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
34 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
35 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
36 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to

 

 

SB0425 - 15 - LRB094 09398 RXD 39644 b

1 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
2 whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under

16     felony or misdemeanor offense, the court after sentencing
17     the defendant may, upon motion of the State's Attorney,
18     hold sentence in abeyance and remand the defendant to the
19     custody of the Attorney General of the United States or his
20     or her designated agent to be deported when:
21             (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
22         against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under
23         the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
24             (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
25         deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
26         and would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
27         Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
28     provided in this Chapter V.
29         (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a
30     felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
31     probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
32     Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
33     court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend
34     the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody
35     of the Attorney General of the United States or his or her
36     designated agent when:

 

 

SB0425 - 16 - LRB094 09398 RXD 39644 b

1             (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
2         against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under
3         the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
4             (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
5         deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
6         and would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
7         (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who
8     are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
9     subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
10         (D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant
11     sentenced under this Section returns to the jurisdiction of
12     the United States, the defendant shall be recommitted to
13     the custody of the county from which he or she was
14     sentenced. Thereafter, the defendant shall be brought
15     before the sentencing court, which may impose any sentence
16     that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the time of
17     initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be
18     eligible for additional good conduct credit for
19     meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.

31 an addict or alcoholic, as defined in the Alcoholism and Other
32 Drug Abuse and Dependency Act, to a substance or alcohol abuse
