13    health.
14        (a-5)  A person commits the offense  of  endangering  the
15    life  or  health  of  a  child  if  he  or she leaves a child
16    unattended  in  a  motor  vehicle.   For  purposes  of   this
17    subsection:
18             (1)  There is a rebuttable presumption that a person

21             (2)  "Unattended"  means either: (i) not accompanied

 5    Section  is  a  Class  3 felony.  A violation of this Section
 6    that is a proximate cause of the death  of  the  child  is  a
 7    Class  3 felony for which a person, if sentenced to a term of
 8    imprisonment, shall be sentenced to a term of not less than 2
