AN ACT concerning criminal law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by changing |
Section 12-18 as follows:
|
(720 ILCS 5/12-18) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-18)
|
Sec. 12-18. General Provisions.
|
(a) No person accused of violating Sections 12-13, 12-14, |
12-15 or 12-16
of this Code shall be presumed to be incapable |
of committing an offense
prohibited by Sections 12-13, 12-14, |
12-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of this Code
because of age, physical |
condition or relationship to the victim, except as
otherwise |
provided in subsection (c) of this Section. Nothing in this |
Section
shall be construed to modify or abrogate the |
affirmative defense of infancy
under Section 6-1 of this Code |
or the provisions of Section 5-805 of the
Juvenile Court Act of |
1987.
|
(b) Any medical examination or procedure which is conducted |
by a physician,
nurse, medical or hospital personnel, parent, |
or caretaker for purposes
and in a manner consistent with |
reasonable medical standards is not an offense
under Sections |
12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 and 12-16 of this Code.
|
(c) (Blank).
Prosecution of a spouse of a victim under this |
subsection for any
violation by the victim's spouse of Section |
12-13, 12-14, 12-15 or 12-16 of
this Code is barred unless the |
victim reported such offense to a law
enforcement agency or the |
State's Attorney's office within 30 days after the
offense was |
committed, except when the court finds good cause for the |
delay.
|
(d) In addition to the sentences provided for in Sections |
12-13,
12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 and 12-16 of the Criminal Code of |
1961 the Court may
order any person who is convicted of |
|
violating any of those Sections to meet
all or any portion of |
the financial obligations of treatment, including but not
|
limited to medical, psychiatric, rehabilitative or |
psychological treatment,
prescribed for the victim or victims |
of the offense.
|
(e) After a finding at a preliminary hearing that there is |
probable
cause to believe that an accused has committed a |
violation of Section
12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of this Code, or |
after an indictment is returned
charging an accused with a |
violation of Section 12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of
this Code,
or |
after a finding that a defendant charged with a violation of |
Section
12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1 of this Code is unfit to stand |
trial pursuant to
Section 104-16 of the Code of
Criminal |
Procedure of 1963 where the finding is made prior to |
preliminary
hearing,
at the request of the person who was the |
victim of the violation of
Section 12-13, 12-14, or 12-14.1, |
the prosecuting State's attorney shall seek
an order from the |
court to compel the accused to be tested for any sexually
|
transmissible disease, including a test for infection with
|
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The medical tests shall be
|
performed only
by appropriately licensed medical |
practitioners. The test for infection with
human |
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) shall consist of an
enzyme-linked |
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test, or such other test as may
be |
approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health; in the |
event of a
positive result, the Western Blot Assay or a more |
reliable confirmatory
test shall be administered. The results |
of the tests shall be
kept
strictly confidential by all medical |
personnel involved in the testing and
must be personally |
delivered in a sealed envelope to the victim and to the
judge |
who entered the order, for the judge's inspection in camera. |
Acting
in accordance with the best interests of the victim and |
the public, the
judge shall have the discretion to determine to |
whom, if anyone, the result
of the testing may be revealed; |
however, in no case shall the identity of
the victim be |
disclosed. The court shall order that the cost of the tests
|
|
shall be paid by the county, and may be taxed as costs against |
the accused
if convicted.
|
(f) Whenever any law enforcement officer has reasonable |
cause to believe
that a person has been delivered a controlled |
substance without his or her
consent, the law enforcement |
officer shall advise the victim about seeking
medical treatment |
and preserving evidence.
|
(g) Every hospital providing emergency hospital services |
to an alleged
sexual assault survivor, when there is reasonable
|
cause to believe that a person has been delivered a controlled |
substance
without his or her consent, shall designate personnel |
to provide:
|
(1) An explanation to the victim about the nature and |
effects of commonly
used controlled substances and how such |
controlled substances are administered.
|
(2) An offer to the victim of testing for the presence |
of such controlled
substances.
|
(3) A disclosure to the victim that all controlled |
substances or alcohol
ingested by the victim will be |
disclosed by the test.
|
(4) A statement that the test is completely voluntary.
|
(5) A form for written authorization for sample |
analysis of all controlled
substances and alcohol ingested |
by the victim.
|
A physician licensed to practice medicine in all its |
branches may agree to
be a designated person under this |
subsection.
|
No sample analysis may be performed unless the victim
|
returns a signed written authorization within 30 days
48 hours
|
after the sample was
collected.
|
Any medical treatment or care under this subsection shall |
be only in
accordance with the order of a physician licensed to |
practice medicine in all
of its branches. Any testing under |
this subsection shall be only in accordance
with the order of a |
licensed individual authorized to order the testing.
