 3    of such controlled substances.

 5    substances   or  alcohol  ingested  by  the  victim  will  be
 6    disclosed by the test.
 7        (4)  A statement that the test is completely voluntary.
 8        (5)  A form for written authorization for sample analysis
 9    of all controlled substances  and  alcohol  ingested  by  the
10    victim.

13    personnel within 48 hours after the sample was collected.

26    admissible (if that evidence is  otherwise  admissible  under
27    the  rules of evidence) and may be considered for its bearing
28    on any matter to which it is relevant.
29        (c)  In weighing the  probative  value  of  the  evidence
30    against  undue  prejudice  to  the  defendant,  the court may
31    consider:
32             (1)  the  proximity  in  time  to  the  charged   or
33        predicate offense;

 9    pretrial notice on good cause shown.

11    under  this  Section, proof may be made by specific instances
12    of conduct, testimony as to reputation, or testimony  in  the
13    form  of  an  expert opinion, except that the prosecution may
14    offer reputation testimony only after the opposing party  has
15    offered that testimony.
16        (f)  In  prosecutions  for  a  violation of Section 10-2,
17    12-4, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, 12-16,  or  18-5  of  the
18    Criminal  Code of 1961, involving the involuntary delivery of
19    a controlled substance to a victim, no inference may be  made
20    about  the  fact  that a victim did not consent to a test for
21    the presence of controlled substances.
