24 the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
25 anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
26 shall notify the defendant of a positive test showing an
27 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
28 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
29 testing and counseling at Department of Public Health

3 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal
4 Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
5 that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county

8 for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois

10 and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
11 similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected
12 and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section

18 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
19 Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
20 Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
21 court supervision, or an order of probation granted under
22 Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
23 Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
24 shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
25 facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
26 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
27 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
28 daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
29 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
30 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
31 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
32 employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court

4 (j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is
5 convicted of a felony and who has not been previously
6 convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
7 a term of imprisonment in the Illinois Department of
8 Corrections shall as a condition of his or her sentence be
9 required by the court to attend educational courses designed
10 to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
11 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
12 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
13 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
14 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
15 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
16 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
17 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
18 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
19 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
20 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
21 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
22 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
23 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
24 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
25 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
26 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
27 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
28 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
29 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
30 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
31 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
32 who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
33 GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
34 who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled

6 control.
7 (l) (A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of
8 subsection (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as
9 defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act, is
10 convicted of any felony or misdemeanor offense, the court
11 after sentencing the defendant may, upon motion of the
12 State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
13 the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
14 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
15 deported when:
16 (1) a final order of deportation has been
17 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
18 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
19 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
20 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
21 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
22 justice.
23 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
24 provided in this Chapter V.
25 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for
26 a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
27 probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
28 Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
29 the court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to
30 suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
31 custody of the Attorney General of the United States or
32 his or her designated agent when:
33 (1) a final order of deportation has been
34 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
-19- LRB9205081ARsb
1 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
2 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
3 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
4 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
5 justice.
6 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders
7 who are subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of
8 subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3.
9 (D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a
10 defendant sentenced under this Section returns to the
11 jurisdiction of the United States, the defendant shall be
12 recommitted to the custody of the county from which he or
13 she was sentenced. Thereafter, the defendant shall be
14 brought before the sentencing court, which may impose any
15 sentence that was available under Section 5-5-3 at the
16 time of initial sentencing. In addition, the defendant
17 shall not be eligible for additional good conduct credit
18 for meritorious service as provided under Section 3-6-6.
19 (m) A person convicted of criminal defacement of
20 property under Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
21 in which the property damage exceeds $300 and the property
22 damaged is a school building, shall be ordered to perform
23 community service that may include cleanup, removal, or
