fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced
to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State

of probation only where:

(A) the defendant is willing to undergo a court
approved counseling program for a minimum duration of 2

family;

and
(v) compliance with any other measures that
the court may deem appropriate; and
(2) the court orders the defendant to pay for the
victim's counseling services, to the extent that the court
finds, after considering the defendant's income and
assets, that the defendant is financially capable of paying
for such services, if the victim was under 18 years of age
at the time the offense was committed and requires
counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
restricting contact with the victim or other family members or
commits another offense with the victim or other family

HB5974 - 13 - LRB099 15570 RLC 44975 b

Criminal Code of 2012, the defendant shall undergo medical
testing to determine whether the defendant has any sexually
transmissible disease, including a test for infection with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified

Any such medical test shall be performed only by appropriately
licensed medical practitioners and may include an analysis of
any bodily fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's
person. Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of
such test shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical
personnel involved in the testing and must be personally

transmission of HIV under Section 12-5.01 or 12-16.2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 against the
defendant. The court shall order that the cost of any such test
shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
the convicted defendant.
(g-5) When an inmate is tested for an airborne communicable
disease, as determined by the Illinois Department of Public
Health including but not limited to tuberculosis, the results

Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the
State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a
charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-5.01 or
12-16.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
2012 against the defendant. The court shall order that the cost
of any such test shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as

attend educational courses designed to prepare the defendant
for a high school diploma and to work toward a high school

HB5974 - 18 - LRB099 15570 RLC 44975 b
defendant fails to complete the educational training required
by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
diploma or passage of high school equivalency testing. The
Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under
this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high
school diploma or has successfully passed high school
equivalency testing. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a
