Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Permits inclusion in a defendant's prima facie case for forensic DNA testing of evidence that was not subject to testing at the time of his or her trial or guilty plea that identity was an issue in the investigation that resulted in his or her conviction, even if he or she confessed or admitted to the crime. Provides that upon receipt of a motion for post-conviction DNA testing, the court shall order the State to prepare an inventory of the evidence related to the case and issue a copy of the inventory to the prosecution, the petitioner, and the court. Provides that when a motion is filed to vacate based on favorable post-conviction DNA testing results, the State may, upon request, reactivate victim services for the victim of the crime during the pendency of the proceedings, and, as determined by the court after consultation with the victim or victim advocate, or both, following final adjudication of the case. Effective immediately.
