AN ACT relating to criminal law, amending named Acts.
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 12-11 and adding Section 20-1.2 as follows:
(720 ILCS 5/12-11) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-11)
Sec. 12-11. Home Invasion.
(a) A person who is not a peace officer acting in the
line of duty commits home invasion when without authority he
or she knowingly enters the dwelling place of another when he
or she knows or has reason to know that one or more persons
is present or he or she knowingly enters the dwelling place
of another and remains in such dwelling place until he or she
knows or has reason to know that one or more persons is
present and
(1) While armed with a dangerous weapon uses force or
threatens the imminent use of force upon any person or
persons within such dwelling place whether or not injury
occurs, or
(2) Intentionally causes any injury to any person or
persons within such dwelling place.
(b) It is an affirmative defense to a charge of home
invasion that the accused who knowingly enters the dwelling
place of another and remains in such dwelling place until he
or she knows or has reason to know that one or more persons
is present either immediately leaves such premises or
surrenders to the person or persons lawfully present therein
without either attempting to cause or causing serious bodily
injury to any person present therein.
(c) Sentence. Home invasion is a Class X felony.
(d) For purposes of this Section, "dwelling place of
another" includes a dwelling place where the defendant
maintains a tenancy interest but from which the defendant has
been barred by a divorce decree, judgment of dissolution of
marriage, order of protection, or other court order.
(Source: P.A. 85-1387; 85-1433; 86-820.)
(720 ILCS 5/20-1.2 new)
Sec. 20-1.2. Residential arson.
(a) A person commits the offense of residential arson
when, in the course of committing an arson, he or she
knowingly damages, partially or totally, any building or
structure that is the dwelling place of another.
(b) Sentence. Residential arson is a Class 1 felony.
Section 6. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by changing Section 115-4.1 as follows:
(725 ILCS 5/115-4.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 115-4.1)
Sec. 115-4.1. Absence of defendant. (a) When a defendant
after arrest and an initial court appearance for a
non-capital felony or a misdemeanor, fails to appear for
trial, at the request of the State and after the State has
affirmatively proven through substantial evidence that the
defendant is willfully avoiding trial, the court may commence
trial in the absence of the defendant. Absence of a
defendant as specified in this Section shall not be a bar to
indictment of a defendant, return of information against a
defendant, or arraignment of a defendant for the charge for
which bail has been granted. If a defendant fails to appear
at arraignment, the court may enter a plea of "not guilty" on
his behalf. If a defendant absents himself before trial on a
capital felony, trial may proceed as specified in this
Section provided that the State certifies that it will not
seek a death sentence following conviction. Trial in the
defendant's absence shall be by jury unless the defendant had
previously waived trial by jury. The absent defendant must
be represented by retained or appointed counsel. The court,
at the conclusion of all of the proceedings, may order the
clerk of the circuit court to pay counsel such sum as the
court deems reasonable, from any bond monies which were
posted by the defendant with the clerk, after the clerk has
first deducted all court costs. If trial had previously
commenced in the presence of the defendant and the defendant
willfully absents himself for two successive court days, the
court shall proceed to trial. All procedural rights
guaranteed by the United States Constitution, Constitution of
the State of Illinois, statutes of the State of Illinois, and
rules of court shall apply to the proceedings the same as if
the defendant were present in court and had not either
forfeited his bail bond or escaped from custody. The court
may set the case for a trial which may be conducted under
this Section despite the failure of the defendant to appear
at the hearing at which the trial date is set. When such
trial date is set the clerk shall send to the defendant, by
certified mail at his last known address indicated on his
bond slip, notice of the new date which has been set for
trial. Such notification shall be required when the
defendant was not personally present in open court at the
time when the case was set for trial.
(b) The absence of a defendant from a trial conducted
pursuant to this Section does not operate as a bar to
concluding the trial, to a judgment of conviction resulting
therefrom, or to a final disposition of the trial in favor of
the defendant.
(c) Upon a verdict of not guilty, the court shall enter
judgment for the defendant. Upon a verdict of guilty, the
court shall set a date for the hearing of post-trial motions
and shall hear such motion in the absence of the defendant.
If post-trial motions are denied, the court shall proceed to
conduct a sentencing hearing and to impose a sentence upon
the defendant.
(d) A defendant who is absent for part of the
proceedings of trial, post-trial motions, or sentencing, does
not thereby forfeit his right to be present at all remaining
proceedings.
(e) When a defendant who in his absence has been either
convicted or sentenced or both convicted and sentenced
appears before the court, he must be granted a new trial or
new sentencing hearing if the defendant can establish that
his failure to appear in court was both without his fault and
due to circumstances beyond his control. A hearing with
notice to the State's Attorney on the defendant's request for
a new trial or a new sentencing hearing must be held before
any such request may be granted. At any such hearing both
the defendant and the State may present evidence.
(f) If the court grants only the defendant's request for
a new sentencing hearing, then a new sentencing hearing
shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the
Unified Code of Corrections. At any such hearing, both the
defendant and the State may offer evidence of the defendant's
conduct during his period of absence from the court. The
court may impose any sentence authorized by the Unified Code
of Corrections and is not in any way limited or restricted by
any sentence previously imposed.
(g) A defendant whose motion under paragraph (e) for a
new trial or new sentencing hearing has been denied may file
a notice of appeal therefrom. Such notice may also include a
request for review of the judgment and sentence not vacated
by the trial court.
(Source: P.A. 84-945.)
Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended
by changing Section 5-5-3 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-5-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-3)
Sec. 5-5-3. Disposition.
(a) Every person convicted of an offense shall be
sentenced as provided in this Section.
(b) The following options shall be appropriate

misdemeanors other than those identified in subsection (c) of

(1) A period of probation.
(2) A term of periodic imprisonment.
(3) A term of conditional discharge.
(4) A term of imprisonment.
(5) An order directing the offender to clean up and

(7) An order directing the offender to make
restitution to the victim under Section 5-5-6 of this
Code.
(8) A sentence of participation in a county impact
incarceration program under Section 5-8-1.2 of this Code.
Whenever an individual is sentenced for an offense based
upon an arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, and the professional evaluation recommends
remedial or rehabilitative treatment or education, neither
the treatment nor the education shall be the sole disposition
and either or both may be imposed only in conjunction with
another disposition. The court shall monitor compliance with
any remedial education or treatment recommendations contained
in the professional evaluation. Programs conducting alcohol
or other drug evaluation or remedial education must be
licensed by the Department of Human Services. However, if
the individual is not a resident of Illinois, the court may
accept an alcohol or other drug evaluation or remedial
education program in the state of such individual's
residence. Programs providing treatment must be licensed
under existing applicable alcoholism and drug treatment
licensure standards.
In addition to any other fine or penalty required by law,
any individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of local
ordinance, whose operation of a motor vehicle while in
violation of Section 11-501 or such ordinance proximately
caused an incident resulting in an appropriate emergency
response, shall be required to make restitution to a public
agency for the costs of that emergency response. Such
restitution shall not exceed $500 per public agency for each
such emergency response. For the purpose of this paragraph,
emergency response shall mean any incident requiring a
response by: a police officer as defined under Section 1-162
of the Illinois Vehicle Code; a fireman carried on the rolls
of a regularly constituted fire department; and an ambulance
as defined under Section 4.05 of the Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) Systems Act.
Neither a fine nor restitution shall be the sole
disposition for a felony and either or both may be imposed
only in conjunction with another disposition.
(c) (1) When a defendant is found guilty of first degree
murder the State may either seek a sentence of
imprisonment under Section 5-8-1 of this Code, or where
appropriate seek a sentence of death under Section 9-1 of
the Criminal Code of 1961.
(2) A period of probation, a term of periodic
imprisonment or conditional discharge shall not be
imposed for the following offenses. The court shall

conjunction with such term of imprisonment:
(A) First degree murder where the death
penalty is not imposed.

(C) A Class X felony.

(E) A violation of Section 5.1 or 9 of the

convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 felony, after having
twice been convicted of any Class 2 or greater Class

or commits another offense with the victim or other family
members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and

12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, the defendant
shall undergo medical testing to determine whether the
defendant has any sexually transmissible disease, including a
test for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
any other identified causative agent of acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any such medical test
shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's person.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
conviction was entered 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 results of the testing may
be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
results. The court shall also notify the victim if requested
by the victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
if requested by the victim's parents or legal guardian, the
court shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of
the test results. The court shall provide information on the
availability of HIV testing and counseling at Department of
Public Health facilities to all parties to whom the results
of the testing are revealed and shall direct the State's
Attorney to provide the information to the victim when
possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
the results of any HIV test administered under this Section,
and the court shall grant the disclosure if the State's
Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a charge
of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall
order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the
county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted
defendant.

tuberculosis, the results of the test shall be personally
delivered by the warden or his or her designee in a sealed
envelope to the judge of the court in which the inmate must
appear for the judge's inspection in camera if requested by
the judge. Acting in accordance with the best interests of
those in the courtroom, the judge shall have the discretion
to determine what if any precautions need to be taken to
prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
(h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense
under Section 1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
whether the defendant has been exposed to human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
Acting in accordance with the best interests of the public,
the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
shall notify the defendant of a positive test showing an
infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
testing and counseling at Department of Public Health
facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
the information to the victim when possible. A State's
Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of any
HIV test administered under this Section, and the court
shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney shows it
is relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county
and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
(i) All fines and penalties imposed under this Section
for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected
and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section
27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
(j) In cases when prosecution for any violation of
Section 11-6, 11-8, 11-9, 11-11, 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1,
11-16, 11-17, 11-17.1, 11-18, 11-18.1, 11-19, 11-19.1,
11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, or
12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
court supervision, or an order of probation granted under
Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
shall direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of
conviction or order of supervision or probation to the
appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The regional
superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board of
Education of any notification under this subsection.
(j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is
convicted of a felony and who has not been previously
convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
a term of imprisonment in the Illinois Department of
Corrections shall as a condition of his or her sentence be
required by the court to attend educational courses designed
to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
the high school level Test of General Educational Development
(GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
defendant fails to complete the educational training required
by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
(j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
or vocational program.
(k) A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
a felony or misdemeanor that requires the defendant to be
implanted or injected with or to use any form of birth
control.
(l)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of subsection
(l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as defined by the
Immigration and Nationality Act, is convicted of any felony
or misdemeanor offense, the court after sentencing the
defendant may, upon motion of the State's Attorney, hold
sentence in abeyance and remand the defendant to the custody
of the Attorney General of the United States or his or her
designated agent to be deported when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued
against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not
deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided
in this Chapter V.
(B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a
felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the
sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody of the
Attorney General of the United States or his or her
designated agent when:
(1) a final order of deportation has been issued
against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, and
(2) the deportation of the defendant would not
deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
(C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who
are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection
(a) of Section 3-6-3.
(D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant
sentenced under this Section returns to the jurisdiction of
the United States, the defendant shall be recommitted to the
custody of the county from which he or she was sentenced.
Thereafter, the defendant shall be brought before the
sentencing court, which may impose any sentence that was
available under Section 5-5-3 at the time of initial
sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
for additional good conduct credit for meritorious service as
provided under Section 3-6-6.
