causing harm to the sports official or coach occurred

shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The trial court
may impose any sentence which could have been imposed at the
original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code of
Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a
fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the

otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced
to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State

may impose a sentence of probation only where:

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

(ii) restricted contact with the victim;
(iii) continued financial support of the
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

HB6055 - 12 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b

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
causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
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
delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of the court in
which the conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in
camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of the
victim and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing may be
revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test

HB6055 - 13 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
results. The court shall also notify the victim if requested by

of 1961 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.

Health including but not limited to tuberculosis, the results
of the test shall be personally delivered by the warden or his
or her designee in a sealed envelope to the judge of the court
in which the inmate must appear for the judge's inspection in
camera if requested by the judge. Acting in accordance with the
best interests of those in the courtroom, the judge shall have
the discretion to determine what if any precautions need to be

HB6055 - 14 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
taken to prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
(h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense under
Section 1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act, the
defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine whether
the defendant has been exposed to human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) or any other identified causative agent of acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 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 delivered in a sealed envelope to the

immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
whom the results of the testing are revealed and shall direct

obtain the results of any HIV test administered under this
Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the

charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of

HB6055 - 15 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
the Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court

county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted
defendant.

any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and
any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section 27.5

of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
Controlled Substance Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act of a defendant, the court
shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a facility

attend educational courses designed to prepare the defendant
for a high school diploma and to work toward a high school
diploma or to work toward passing the high school level Test of
General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
completing a vocational training program offered by the
Department of Corrections. If a 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 the GED test.

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 the GED test. This

determined by the court to be developmentally disabled or
otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational or
vocational program.

(l) (A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of subsection
(l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as defined by

felony or misdemeanor offense, the court after sentencing
the defendant may, upon motion of the State's Attorney,
hold sentence in abeyance and remand the defendant to the
custody of the Attorney General of the United States or his

deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
and would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
provided in this Chapter V.

felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act,

sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
supervision.
(a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
the court is of the opinion that:
(1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is

HB6055 - 21 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
necessary for the protection of the public; or
(2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
(3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
(b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
(b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 if the defendant within the past 12
months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide

HB6055 - 22 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
(b-2) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
to a defendant charged with reckless homicide under Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961.
(c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5;
31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section 21-1;

(a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of
Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals
Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not barred from
receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the
opinion that:
(1) the offender is not likely to commit further
crimes;
(2) the defendant and the public would be best served
if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
(3) in the best interests of justice an order of

HB6055 - 23 - LRB096 16799 RLC 32106 b
supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
permitted under this Code.
(c-5) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section do not
apply to a defendant charged with a second or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
committed while his or her driver's license, permit or

reckless homicide, or a similar provision of a law of another
state.

Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance when
the defendant has previously been:
(1) convicted for a violation of Section 11-501 of the

ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of another state;
or
(2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
of a local ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of
another state; or
(3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts
supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation

provision of a local ordinance or any similar law or
