Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Makes a technical  change      
   in  the  Section requiring the  Department of Corrections to establish      
   one or more receiving stations for committed persons and  for  persons      
   transferred from the Department of Children and Family Services to the

        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          730 ILCS 5/3-8-1                                                     
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          730 ILCS 5/3-2-2                from Ch. 38, par. 1003-2-2           
        Deletes everything.  Amends  the  Unified  Code  of  Corrections.      
   Requires  the Department of Corrections to, on January 1, 2002, create      
   and implement a  pilot  program  to  establish  the  effectiveness  of      
   pupillometer  technology  (the  measurement of the pupil's reaction to      
   light) as an alternative to a urine test for purposes of screening and      
   evaluating persons committed to its custody who have alcohol  or  drug      
   problems.   Requires  the Department to use pupillometer technology in      
   at least 50% of all screening and evaluation tests  performed  and  to      
   report  to the General Assembly on the effectiveness of the program on      
   January 1, 2003.                                                            
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the pilot program shall  require  the  pupillometer      
   technology  to  be  used  in  at  least  one Department of Corrections      
   facility rather than in at least 50% of all screening  and  evaluation      
   tests  performed.   Provides  that  the  Director may expand the pilot      
   program to include an additional facility or facilities as he  or  she      
   deems  appropriate.  Provides  that  a  minimum of 4,000 test shall be      
   included in the pilot program (rather than 50% of  all  screening  and      
   evaluation tests performed).  Provides that the Department must report      
   to the General Assembly on the effectiveness of the program by January      
   1, 2003 rather than on January 1, 2003.
