HB1337 Engrossed LRB099 07209 RLC 27304 b
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by changing Sections 103-1 and 109-1 as follows:
(725 ILCS 5/103-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 103-1)
Sec. 103-1. Rights on arrest. (a) After an arrest on a
warrant the person making the arrest shall inform the person
arrested that a warrant has been issued for his arrest and the
nature of the offense specified in the warrant.
(b) After an arrest without a warrant the person making the
arrest shall inform the person arrested of the nature of the
offense on which the arrest is based.
(b-5) This subsection is intended to implement and be
interpreted consistently with the Vienna Convention on
Consular Relations, to which the United States is a party.
Article 36 of that Convention guarantees that when foreign
nationals are arrested or detained, they must be advised of
their right to have their consular officials notified, and if
an individual chooses to exercise that right, a law enforcement
official is required to notify the consulate. It does not
create any new substantive State right or remedy.
(1) In accordance with federal law and the provisions

HB1337 Engrossed - 2 - LRB099 07209 RLC 27304 b
of this Section, the law enforcement official in charge of
a custodial facility shall ensure that any individual
booked and detained at the facility, within 48 hours of
booking or detention, shall be advised that if that
individual is a foreign national, he or she has a right to
communicate with an official from the consulate of his or
her country.
(2) If the foreign national requests consular
notification or the notification is mandatory by law, the
law enforcement official in charge of the custodial
facility shall ensure the notice is given to the
appropriate officer at the consulate of the foreign
national in accordance with the U.S. Department of State
Instructions for Consular Notification and Access.
(3) The law enforcement official in charge of the
custodial facility where a foreign national is located
shall ensure that the foreign national is allowed to
communicate with, correspond with, and be visited by, a
consular officer of his or her country.
(c) No person arrested for a traffic, regulatory or
misdemeanor offense, except in cases involving weapons or a
controlled substance, shall be strip searched unless there is
reasonable belief that the individual is concealing a weapon or
controlled substance.
(d) "Strip search" means having an arrested person remove
or arrange some or all of his or her clothing so as to permit a

HB1337 Engrossed - 3 - LRB099 07209 RLC 27304 b
visual inspection of the genitals, buttocks, anus, female
breasts or undergarments of such person.
(e) All strip searches conducted under this Section shall
be performed by persons of the same sex as the arrested person
and on premises where the search cannot be observed by persons
not physically conducting the search.
(f) Every peace officer or employee of a police department
conducting a strip search shall:
(1) Obtain the written permission of the police commander
or an agent thereof designated for the purposes of authorizing
a strip search in accordance with this Section.
(2) Prepare a report of the strip search. The report shall
include the written authorization required by paragraph (1) of
this subsection (f), the name of the person subjected to the
search, the names of the persons conducting the search, and the
time, date and place of the search. A copy of the report shall
be provided to the person subject to the search.
(g) No search of any body cavity other than the mouth shall
be conducted without a duly executed search warrant; any
warrant authorizing a body cavity search shall specify that the
search must be performed under sanitary conditions and
conducted either by or under the supervision of a physician
licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches in this
State.
(h) Any peace officer or employee who knowingly or
intentionally fails to comply with any provision of this

HB1337 Engrossed - 4 - LRB099 07209 RLC 27304 b
Section, except subsection (b-5) of this Section, is guilty of
official misconduct as provided in Section 103-8; provided
however, that nothing contained in this Section shall preclude
prosecution of a peace officer or employee under another
section of this Code.
(i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting
any statutory or common law rights of any person for purposes
of any civil action or injunctive relief.
(j) The provisions of subsections (c) through (h) of this
Section shall not apply when the person is taken into custody
by or remanded to the sheriff or correctional institution
pursuant to a court order.

accordance with the provisions of Article 112A of this Code.

the defendant.
(e) If consular notification is not provided to a defendant
before his or her first appearance in court, the court shall
grant any reasonable request for a continuance of the
proceedings to allow contact with the defendant's consulate.
Any delay caused by the granting of the request by a defendant
shall temporarily suspend for the time of the delay the period
within which a person shall be tried as prescribed by
