30 (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
31 (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
32 (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680,
33 effective January 1, 1995, contained provisions
34 amending the child pornography statute, Section
-8- LRB9212174RCcdam
1 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5
2 also contained other provisions.
3 (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was
4 entitled "AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods
5 Law". (A) Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE
6 and amended the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B)
7 Article 15 was entitled GANGS and amended various
8 provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 and the
9 Unified Code of Corrections. (C) Article 20 was
10 entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended various
11 provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D)
12 Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and amended the
13 Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled
14 Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS
15 and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Code
16 of Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35
17 amended the Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of
18 Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, and the Unified
19 Code of Corrections. (G) Article 40 amended the
20 Criminal Code of 1961 to increase the penalty for
21 compelling organization membership of persons. (H)
22 Article 45 created the Secure Residential Youth Care
23 Facility Licensing Act and amended the State Finance
24 Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Unified
25 Code of Corrections, and the Private Correctional
26 Facility Moratorium Act. (I) Article 50 amended the
27 WIC Vendor Management Act, the Firearm Owners
28 Identification Card Act, the Juvenile Court Act of
29 1987, the Criminal Code of 1961, the Wrongs to
30 Children Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections.
31 (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third
32 District Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701
33 N.E. 2d 118, ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates
34 the single subject clause of the Illinois
-9- LRB9212174RCcdam
1 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8 (d)) and was
2 unconstitutional in its entirety. As of the time
3 this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v.
4 Dainty was still subject to appeal.
5 (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to
6 the people of this State and the validity of future
7 prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
8 the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
9 (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of
10 1999 to prevent or minimize any problems relating to
11 prosecutions for child pornography that may result from
12 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
13 88-680 by re-enacting the Section relating to child
14 pornography that was included in Public Act 88-680.
15 (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
16 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
17 amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
18 question as to the validity or content of that Section;
19 it is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
20 amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
21 amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as
22 existing text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as
23 of the time this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared,
24 People v. Dainty was subject to appeal to the Illinois
25 Supreme Court.
26 (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999
27 of Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating
28 to child pornography that was amended by Public Act
29 88-680 is not intended, and shall not be construed, to
30 imply that Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or
31 impair any legal argument concerning whether those
32 provisions were substantially re-enacted by other Public
33 Acts.

4 "(720 ILCS 5/33D-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 33D-1)
5 Sec. 33D-1. (a) Contributing to the criminal delinquency
6 of a juvenile. Any person of the age of 17 21 years and
7 upwards, who with the intent to promote or facilitate the
8 commission of an offense that is either a felony or
9 misdemeanor, solicits, compels or directs any person under
10 the age of 17 years in the commission of the offense commits
11 the offense of contributing to the criminal delinquency of a
12 juvenile.
13 (b) Sentence. Contributing to the criminal delinquency
14 of a juvenile is a felony one grade higher than the offense
15 committed, if the offense committed is a felony, except when
16 the offense committed is first degree murder or a Class X
17 felony. When the offense committed is first degree murder or
18 a Class X felony, the penalty for contributing to the
19 criminal delinquency of a juvenile is the same as the penalty
20 for first degree murder or a Class X felony, respectively.
21 Contributing to the criminal delinquency of a juvenile is a
22 misdemeanor one grade higher than the offense committed, if
23 the offense committed is a misdemeanor, except when the
24 offense committed is a Class A misdemeanor. If the offense
25 committed is a Class A misdemeanor, the penalty for
26 contributing to the criminal delinquency of a juvenile is a
27 Class 4 felony.

31 (720 ILCS 150/5.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2355.1)
-11- LRB9212174RCcdam
1 Sec. 5.1. Permitting sexual abuse of a child.
2 (a) A person responsible for a child's welfare commits
3 the offense of permitting sexual abuse of a child if he or
4 she has actual knowledge of and permits an act of sexual
5 abuse upon the child, or permits the child to engage in
6 prostitution as defined in Section 11-14 of the Criminal Code
7 of 1961.
8 (b) In this Section:
9 "Child" means a minor under the age of 17 years.
10 "Person responsible for the child's welfare" means the
11 child's parent, step-parent, legal guardian, or other person
12 having custody of a child, who is responsible for the child's
13 care at the time of the alleged sexual abuse.
14 "Sexual abuse" includes criminal sexual abuse or criminal
15 sexual assault as defined in Section 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1,
16 12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
17 "Prostitution" means prostitution as defined in Section
18 11-14 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
19 "Actual knowledge" includes credible allegations made by
20 the child.
21 (c) This Section does not apply to a person responsible
22 for the child's welfare who, having reason to believe that
23 sexual abuse has occurred, makes timely and reasonable
24 efforts to stop the sexual abuse by reporting the sexual
25 abuse in conformance with the Abused and Neglected Child
26 Reporting Act or by reporting the sexual abuse, or causing a
27 report to be made, to medical or law enforcement authorities
28 or anyone who is a mandated reporter under Section 4 of the
29 Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
30 (d) Whenever a law enforcement officer has reason to
31 believe that the child or the person responsible for the
32 child's welfare has been abused by a family or household
33 member as defined by the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
34 1986, the officer shall immediately use all reasonable means
-12- LRB9212174RCcdam
1 to prevent further abuse under Section 112A-30 of the Code of
2 Criminal Procedure of 1963.
3 (e) An order of protection under Section 111-8 of the
4 Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 shall be sought in all
5 cases where there is reason to believe that a child has been
6 sexually abused by a family or household member. In
7 considering appropriate available remedies, it shall be
8 presumed that awarding physical care or custody to the abuser
9 is not in the child's best interest.
10 (f) A person may not be charged with the offense of
11 permitting sexual abuse of a child under this Section until
12 the person who committed the offense is charged with criminal
13 sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault, predatory
14 criminal sexual assault of a child, criminal sexual abuse,
15 aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or prostitution.
16 (g) A person convicted of permitting the sexual abuse of
17 a child is guilty of a Class 4 felony. A second or
18 subsequent offense is a Class 2 felony, except that when the
19 sexual abuse involved sexual penetration causing bodily harm
20 to the child, it is a Class 1 felony. As a condition of any
21 sentence of supervision, probation, conditional discharge, or
22 mandatory supervised release, any person convicted under this
23 Section shall be ordered to undergo child sexual abuse,
24 domestic violence, or other appropriate counseling for a
25 specified duration with a qualified social or mental health
26 worker.
27 (h) It is an affirmative defense to a charge of
28 permitting sexual abuse of a child under this Section that
29 the person responsible for the child's welfare had a
30 reasonable apprehension that timely action to stop the abuse
31 or prostitution would result in the imminent infliction of
32 death, great bodily harm, permanent disfigurement, or
33 permanent disability to that person or another in retaliation
34 for reporting. A. A parent, step-parent, legal guardian, or
-13- LRB9212174RCcdam
1 other person having custody of a child who knowingly allows
2 or permits an act of criminal sexual abuse or criminal sexual
3 assault as defined in Section 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or
4 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, upon his or her child, or
5 knowingly permits, induces, promotes, or arranges for the
6 child to engage in prostitution as defined in Section 11-14
7 of the Criminal Code of 1961, and fails to take reasonable
8 steps to prevent its commission or future occurrences of such
9 acts commits the offense of permitting the sexual abuse of a
10 child. For purposes of this Section, "child" means a minor
11 under the age of 17 years.
12 B. Any person convicted of permitting the sexual abuse
13 of a child is guilty of a Class 1 felony.
