Adds reference to:

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that the defendant may make a motion for performance of Integrated Ballistic Identification System or forensic DNA testing on evidence: (1) that was not the subject of testing which is now requested at the time of trial (rather than because the technology for the testing was not available at the time of trial) or (2) although previously subjected to testing, can be subjected to additional testing utilizing a method that was not scientifically available at the time of trial that provides a reasonable likelihood of more probative results. Reasonable notice of the motion shall be served upon the State. Provides that if evidence previously tested reveals an unknown fingerprint from the crime scene that does not match the defendant or the victim, the order of the Court shall direct the prosecuting authority to request the Illinois State Police Bureau of Forensic Science to submit the unknown fingerprint evidence into the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AIFIS) for identification. Effective immediately.
