thereafter convicted of a Class X felony, criminal sexual
assault, or first degree murder, committed after the 2

committed at the same time, shall be counted for the

HB5280 - 2 - LRB097 16558 RLC 61730 b
(4) This Section does not apply unless each of the
following requirements are satisfied:
(A) The third offense was committed after July 3,

(B) The third offense was committed within 20 years
of the date that judgment was entered on the first
conviction; provided, however, that time spent in

during the trial of an offense set forth in this Section
unless otherwise permitted by the issues properly raised in
that trial. After a plea or verdict or finding of guilty
and before sentence is imposed, the prosecutor may file
with the court a verified written statement signed by the
State's Attorney concerning any former conviction of an
offense set forth in this Section rendered against the
defendant. The court shall then cause the defendant to be

HB5280 - 3 - LRB097 16558 RLC 61730 b

allegations of the statement so filed, and of his or her
right to a hearing before the court on the issue of that
former conviction and of his or her right to counsel at

(7) A duly authenticated copy of the record of any
alleged former conviction of an offense set forth in this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of that former
conviction; and a duly authenticated copy of the record of

(8) Any claim that a previous conviction offered by the
prosecution is not a former conviction of an offense set
forth in this Section because of the existence of any
exceptions described in this Section, is waived unless duly
raised at the hearing on that conviction, or unless the
prosecution's proof shows the existence of the exceptions
described in this Section.
(9) If the person so convicted shows to the
satisfaction of the court before whom that conviction was

HB5280 - 4 - LRB097 16558 RLC 61730 b
had that he or she was released from imprisonment, upon
either of the sentences upon a pardon granted for the
reason that he or she was innocent, that conviction and
sentence shall not be considered under this Section.
(b) When a defendant, over the age of 21 years, is
convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 felony, after having twice
been convicted in any state or federal court of an offense that
contains the same elements as an offense now (the date the
Class 1 or Class 2 felony was committed) classified in Illinois
as a Class 2 or greater Class felony and those charges are
separately brought and tried and arise out of different series

HB5280 - 5 - LRB097 16558 RLC 61730 b
register as a sexual predator under the Sex Offender
Registration Act (730 ILCS 150/Act), and who is thereafter
convicted of a second offense requiring registration as a
sexual predator, shall be adjudged a habitual child predator.
(2) The prior conviction need not have been for the same
offense.
(3) Any convictions that result from or are connected with
the same transaction, or result from offenses committed at the
same time, shall be counted for the purposes of this subsection

effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General

conviction shall be presented to the court or the jury during
the trial of an offense set forth in this Section unless
otherwise permitted by the issues properly raised in that
trial. After a plea or verdict or finding of guilty and before

finding thereon. If a sentence has previously been imposed, the
court may vacate that sentence and impose a new sentence in
accordance with this Section.

former conviction of an offense set forth in this Section shall
be prima facie evidence of that former conviction; and a duly
authenticated copy of the record of the defendant's final
release or discharge from probation granted, or from sentence
and parole supervision (if any) imposed pursuant to that former
conviction, shall be prima facie evidence of that release or
discharge.
(8) Any claim that a previous conviction offered by the
prosecution is not a former conviction of an offense set forth
in this Section because of the existence of any exceptions
described in this Section, is waived unless duly raised at the
hearing on that conviction, or unless the prosecution's proof

HB5280 - 7 - LRB097 16558 RLC 61730 b
shows the existence of the exceptions described in this
Section.
(9) If the person so convicted shows to the satisfaction of
the court before whom that conviction was had that he or she
was released from imprisonment, upon either of the sentences
upon a pardon granted for the reason that he or she was
innocent, that conviction and sentence shall not be considered
