392+3 (c) The court shall ensure that the rights of the victim
393+4 are afforded.
394+5 (c-5) The following procedures shall be followed to afford
395+6 victims the rights guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the
396+7 Illinois Constitution:
397+8 (1) Written notice. A victim may complete a written
398+9 notice of intent to assert rights on a form prepared by the
399+10 Office of the Attorney General and provided to the victim
400+11 by the State's Attorney. The victim may at any time
401+12 provide a revised written notice to the State's Attorney.
402+13 The State's Attorney shall file the written notice with
403+14 the court. At the beginning of any court proceeding in
404+15 which the right of a victim may be at issue, the court and
405+16 prosecutor shall review the written notice to determine
406+17 whether the victim has asserted the right that may be at
407+18 issue.
408+19 (2) Victim's retained attorney. A victim's attorney
409+20 shall file an entry of appearance limited to assertion of
410+21 the victim's rights. Upon the filing of the entry of
411+22 appearance and service on the State's Attorney and the
412+23 defendant, the attorney is to receive copies of all
413+24 notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the

426+1 rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section
427+2 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
428+3 under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising
429+4 jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting
430+5 attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
431+6 assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
432+7 case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
433+8 court proceeding, including on appeal.
434+9 (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
435+10 (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
436+11 victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
437+12 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
438+13 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
439+14 case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
440+15 attorney shall consult with the victim and the
441+16 victim's attorney regarding the assertion or
442+17 enforcement of a right. If the prosecuting attorney
443+18 decides not to assert or enforce a victim's right, the
444+19 prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the
445+20 victim's attorney in sufficient time to allow the
446+21 victim or the victim's attorney to assert the right or
447+22 to seek enforcement of a right.
448+23 (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
449+24 assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
450+25 right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
451+26 the victim's right or request enforcement of a right

463+2 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
464+3 case outside the presence of the jury.
465+4 (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
466+5 right or seeks enforcement of a right, unless the
467+6 prosecuting attorney objects or the trial court does
468+7 not allow it, the victim or the victim's attorney may
469+8 be heard regarding the prosecuting attorney's motion
470+9 or may file a simultaneous motion to assert or request
471+10 enforcement of the victim's right. If the victim or
472+11 the victim's attorney was not allowed to be heard at
473+12 the hearing regarding the prosecuting attorney's
474+13 motion, and the court denies the prosecuting
475+14 attorney's assertion of the right or denies the
476+15 request for enforcement of a right, the victim or
477+16 victim's attorney may file a motion to assert the
478+17 victim's right or to request enforcement of the right
479+18 within 10 days of the court's ruling. The motion need
480+19 not demonstrate the grounds for a motion for
481+20 reconsideration. The court shall rule on the merits of
482+21 the motion.
483+22 (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
484+23 or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
485+24 victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
486+25 period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons

499+2 (E) No later than January 1, 2023, the Office of
500+3 the Attorney General shall:
501+4 (i) designate an administrative authority
502+5 within the Office of the Attorney General to
503+6 receive and investigate complaints relating to the
504+7 provision or violation of the rights of a crime
505+8 victim as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of
506+9 the Illinois Constitution and in this Act;
507+10 (ii) create and administer a course of
508+11 training for employees and offices of the State of
509+12 Illinois that fail to comply with provisions of
510+13 Illinois law pertaining to the treatment of crime
511+14 victims as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of
512+15 the Illinois Constitution and in this Act as
513+16 required by the court under Section 5 of this Act;
514+17 and
515+18 (iii) have the authority to make
516+19 recommendations to employees and offices of the
517+20 State of Illinois to respond more effectively to
518+21 the needs of crime victims, including regarding
519+22 the violation of the rights of a crime victim.
520+23 (F) Crime victims' rights may also be asserted by
521+24 filing a complaint for mandamus, injunctive, or
522+25 declaratory relief in the jurisdiction in which the
523+26 victim's right is being violated or where the crime is

534+1 being prosecuted. For complaints or motions filed by
535+2 or on behalf of the victim, the clerk of court shall
536+3 waive filing fees that would otherwise be owed by the
537+4 victim for any court filing with the purpose of
538+5 enforcing crime victims' rights. If the court denies
539+6 the relief sought by the victim, the reasons for the
540+7 denial shall be clearly stated on the record in the
541+8 transcript of the proceedings, in a written opinion,
542+9 or in the docket entry, and the victim may appeal the
543+10 circuit court's decision to the appellate court. The
544+11 court shall issue prompt rulings regarding victims'
545+12 rights. Proceedings seeking to enforce victims' rights
546+13 shall not be stayed or subject to unreasonable delay
547+14 via continuances.
548+15 (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
549+16 (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
550+17 has been violated, the court shall determine the
551+18 appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
552+19 right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
553+20 considering all factors relevant to the issue, and
554+21 then awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
555+22 (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
556+23 nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
557+24 or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
558+25 labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
559+26 violation of a victim's right.

569+ SB0019 - 16 - LRB104 08032 JDS 18078 b
570+1 (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
571+2 actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
572+3 which the victim was entitled. Remedies may include,
573+4 but are not limited to: injunctive relief requiring
574+5 the victim's right to be afforded; declaratory
575+6 judgment recognizing or clarifying the victim's
576+7 rights; a writ of mandamus; and may include reopening
577+8 previously held proceedings; however, in no event
578+9 shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
579+10 be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate
580+11 remedy without violating any constitutional right of
581+12 the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate
582+13 remedy to the victim be a new trial or damages.
583+14 The court shall impose a mandatory training course
584+15 provided by the Attorney General for the employee under
585+16 item (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (4), which must
586+17 be successfully completed within 6 months of the entry of
587+18 the court order.
588+19 This paragraph (5) takes effect January 2, 2023.
589+20 (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
590+21 to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
591+22 the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
592+23 (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
593+24 motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
594+25 prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
595+26 specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a

606+1 constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
607+2 offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
608+3 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
609+4 forth on the record the facts that support its finding
610+5 that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if
611+6 the victim hears other testimony at trial.
612+7 (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
613+8 at court proceedings.
614+9 (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
615+10 witness at trial must seek permission of the court
616+11 before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
617+12 written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
618+13 forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
619+14 testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding
620+15 (i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the
621+16 advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
622+17 materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
623+18 shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
624+19 days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
625+20 a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
626+21 anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
627+22 privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
628+23 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
629+24 not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
630+25 court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
631+26 appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The

641+ SB0019 - 18 - LRB104 08032 JDS 18078 b
642+1 prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
643+2 to seek appellate review before the advocate is
644+3 required to testify at an ex parte in camera
645+4 proceeding.
646+5 The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
647+6 advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
648+7 the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after
649+8 conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court
650+9 determines that due process requires any testimony
651+10 regarding confidential or privileged information or
652+11 communications, the court shall provide to the
653+12 prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
654+13 attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
655+14 advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
656+15 victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
657+16 to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
658+17 issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
659+18 presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte
660+19 in camera proceeding does not make the substance of
661+20 the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
662+21 inadmissible subject to discovery.
663+22 (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
664+23 support person present at the court proceedings, the
665+24 victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
666+25 has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
667+26 prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The

677+ SB0019 - 19 - LRB104 08032 JDS 18078 b
678+1 prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
679+2 defendant. If the defendant intends to call the
680+3 support person as a witness at trial, the defendant
681+4 must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is
682+5 issued. The defendant must file a written motion at
683+6 least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth
684+7 specifically the issues on which the support person
685+8 will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the
686+9 content of the anticipated testimony of the support
687+10 person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
688+11 materiality of the anticipated testimony.
689+12 If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
690+13 support person as a witness during the State's
691+14 case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
692+15 the court of this intent in the response to the
693+16 defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
694+17 different person to be the victim's support person.
695+18 The court may allow the defendant to inquire about
696+19 matters outside the scope of the direct examination
697+20 during cross-examination. If the court allows the
698+21 defendant to do so, the support person shall be
699+22 allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support
700+23 person has testified. A defendant who fails to
701+24 question the support person about matters outside the
702+25 scope of direct examination during the State's
703+26 case-in-chief waives the right to challenge the

713+ SB0019 - 20 - LRB104 08032 JDS 18078 b
714+1 presence of the support person on appeal. The court
715+2 shall allow the support person to testify if called as
716+3 a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the
717+4 State's rebuttal.
718+5 If the court does not allow the defendant to
719+6 inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
720+7 examination, the support person shall be allowed to
721+8 remain in the courtroom after the support person has
722+9 been called by the defendant or the defendant has
723+10 rested. The court shall allow the support person to
724+11 testify in the State's rebuttal.
725+12 If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to
726+13 call the support person in the State's case-in-chief,
727+14 the court shall verify with the support person whether
728+15 the support person, if called as a witness, would
729+16 testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the
730+17 court finds that the support person would testify as
731+18 set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule
732+19 on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of
733+20 the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
734+21 anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
735+22 issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
736+23 the courtroom after the support person testifies and
737+24 shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
738+25 If the court excludes the victim's support person
739+26 during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be

750+1 allowed to choose another support person to be present
751+2 in court.
752+3 If the victim fails to designate a support person
753+4 within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
754+5 subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
755+6 court may exclude the support person from the trial
756+7 until the support person testifies. If the court
757+8 excludes the support person the victim may choose
758+9 another person as a support person.
759+10 (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
760+11 confidential or privileged information or records.
761+12 (A) A defendant who seeks to subpoena testimony or
762+13 records of or concerning the victim that are
763+14 confidential or privileged by law must seek permission
764+15 of the court before the subpoena is issued. The
765+16 defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
766+17 proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
767+18 materiality of the testimony or records. If the court
768+19 finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:
769+20 (i) the testimony or records are not protected
770+21 by an absolute privilege and
771+22 (ii) the testimony or records contain
772+23 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
773+24 is not available through other witnesses or
774+25 evidence, the court shall issue a subpoena
775+26 requiring the witness to appear in camera or a

786+1 sealed copy of the records be delivered to the
787+2 court to be reviewed in camera. If, after
788+3 conducting an in camera review of the witness
789+4 statement or records, the court determines that
790+5 due process requires disclosure of any potential
791+6 testimony or any portion of the records, the court
792+7 shall provide copies of the records that it
793+8 intends to disclose to the prosecuting attorney
794+9 and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
795+10 victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review
796+11 before the records are disclosed to the defendant,
797+12 used in any court proceeding, or disclosed to
798+13 anyone or in any way that would subject the
799+14 testimony or records to public review. The
800+15 disclosure of copies of any portion of the
801+16 testimony or records to the prosecuting attorney
802+17 under this Section does not make the records
803+18 subject to discovery or required to be provided to
804+19 the defendant.
805+20 (B) A prosecuting attorney who seeks to subpoena
806+21 information or records concerning the victim that are
807+22 confidential or privileged by law must first request
808+23 the written consent of the crime victim. If the victim
809+24 does not provide such written consent, including where
810+25 necessary the appropriate signed document required for
811+26 waiving privilege, the prosecuting attorney must serve

826+5 also send a written notice to the victim at least 21
827+6 days prior to the response date to allow the victim to
828+7 file a motion or request a hearing. The notice to the
829+8 victim shall inform the victim (i) that a subpoena has
830+9 been issued for confidential information or records
831+10 concerning the victim, (ii) that the victim has the
832+11 right to request a hearing prior to the response date
833+12 of the subpoena, and (iii) how to request the hearing.
834+13 The notice to the victim shall also include a copy of
835+14 the subpoena. If requested, a hearing regarding the
836+15 subpoena shall occur before information or records are
837+16 provided to the prosecuting attorney.
838+17 (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
839+18 victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
840+19 right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
841+20 prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of
842+21 the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and
843+22 that the victim had a right to be heard at the court
844+23 proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was
845+24 not given or that the victim was not adequately informed
846+25 of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not
847+26 rule on any substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a

858+1 sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time
859+2 necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and
860+3 nature of the court proceeding. The time between court
861+4 proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under
862+5 Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
863+6 (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
864+7 has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
865+8 minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
866+9 from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling
867+10 on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding,
868+11 the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the
869+12 request for the delay and, if the victim has provided
870+13 written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
871+14 disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
872+15 If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
873+16 court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has
874+17 not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
875+18 prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
876+19 confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
877+20 to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
878+21 victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
879+22 prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
880+23 confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
881+24 the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
882+25 continuance, the number and length of continuances that
883+26 have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures

894+1 to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
895+2 the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
896+3 record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
897+4 that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
898+5 (12) Right to Restitution.
899+6 (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
900+7 restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
901+8 the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
902+9 judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
903+10 (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
904+11 restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
905+12 at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall,
906+13 within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
907+14 information and documentation related to restitution
908+15 is needed and that the information and documentation
909+16 must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days
910+17 after sentencing. Failure to timely provide
911+18 information and documentation related to restitution
912+19 shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution.
913+20 The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days
914+21 after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution
915+22 and a notice that includes information concerning the
916+23 identity of any victims or other persons seeking
917+24 restitution, whether any victim or other person
918+25 expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount
919+26 of any damages together with any supporting

930+1 documentation, a restitution amount recommendation,
931+2 and the names of any co-defendants and their case
932+3 numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed
933+4 judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any
934+5 objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of
935+6 grounds for the objection, and a financial statement.
936+7 If the defendant does not file an objection, the court
937+8 may enter the judgment for restitution without further
938+9 proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and
939+10 either party requests a hearing, the court shall
940+11 schedule a hearing.
941+12 (13) Access to presentence reports.
942+13 (A) The victim may request a copy of the
943+14 presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
944+15 Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
945+16 Attorney shall redact the following information before
946+17 providing a copy of the report:
947+18 (i) the defendant's mental history and
948+19 condition;
949+20 (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
950+21 (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
951+22 (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
952+23 other personal information about any other victim.
953+24 (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
954+25 request the court redact other information in the
955+26 report that may endanger the safety of any person.

965+ SB0019 - 27 - LRB104 08032 JDS 18078 b
966+1 (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to
967+2 the victim any of the information that has been
968+3 redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the
969+4 information will be stated in court at the sentencing.
970+5 (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
971+6 that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
972+7 the report and other information. Any dissemination of
973+8 the report or information that was not stated at a
974+9 court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
975+10 contempt of court.
976+11 (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
977+12 relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or
978+13 the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days
979+14 of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court
980+15 may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a
981+16 stay would not violate a constitutional right of the
982+17 defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief
983+18 sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated
984+19 in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the
985+20 State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime
986+21 victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal
987+22 relates.
988+23 (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
989+24 an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
990+25 violation of a victim's right.

1004+3 family considered in determining whether to release the
1005+4 defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest
1006+5 and conviction. A victim of domestic violence, a sexual
1007+6 offense, or stalking may request the entry of a protective
1008+7 order under Article 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure
1009+8 of 1963.

1052+15 an off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass;
1053+16 transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape;

1058+21 publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
1059+22 State's Attorney of each county.

1079+6 the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections
1080+7 or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall
1081+8 notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall
1082+9 notify the victim.
1083+10 (4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has

2507+2 (a-5) After a petition has been denied by the Governor,
2508+3 the Board may not accept a repeat petition for executive
2509+4 clemency for the same person until one full year has elapsed
2510+5 from the date of the denial. The Chairman of the Board may
2511+6 waive the one-year requirement if the petitioner offers in
2512+7 writing new information that was unavailable to the petitioner
2513+8 at the time of the filing of the prior petition and which the
2514+9 Chairman determines to be significant. The Chairman also may
2515+10 waive the one-year waiting period if the petitioner can show
2516+11 that a change in circumstances of a compelling humanitarian
2517+12 nature has arisen since the denial of the prior petition.
2518+13 (b) Notice of the proposed application shall be given by
2519+14 the Board to the committing court and the state's attorney of
2520+15 the county where the conviction was had.
2521+16 (b-5) Victims registered with the Board shall receive
2522+17 reasonable written notice not less than 30 days prior to the

2525+20 Prisoner Review Board for consideration at an executive
2526+21 clemency hearing as provided in subsection (c) of this

2544+3 desired, after which it shall confidentially advise the
2545+4 Governor by a written report of its recommendations which

2553+12 petitioner.
2554+13 In the event a petitioner who has been convicted of a Class
2555+14 X felony is granted a release, after the Governor has
2556+15 communicated such decision to the Board, the Board shall give
2557+16 written notice to the Sheriff of the county from which the
2558+17 offender was sentenced if such sheriff has requested that such
2559+18 notice be given on a continuing basis. In cases where arrest of
2560+19 the offender or the commission of the offense took place in any
2561+20 municipality with a population of more than 10,000 persons,

503-4 waive filing fees that would otherwise be owed by the
504-5 victim for any court filing with the purpose of
505-6 enforcing crime victims' rights. If the court denies

507-8 denial shall be clearly stated on the record in the
508-9 transcript of the proceedings, in a written opinion,
509-10 or in the docket entry, and the victim may appeal the
510-11 circuit court's decision to the appellate court. The
511-12 court shall issue prompt rulings regarding victims'

520-21 considering all factors relevant to the issue, and
521-22 then awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
522-23 (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
523-24 nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
524-25 or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding

536-1 violation of a victim's right.
537-2 (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
538-3 actions necessary to provide the victim the right to

540-5 but are not limited to: injunctive relief requiring
541-6 the victim's right to be afforded; declaratory
542-7 judgment recognizing or clarifying the victim's
543-8 rights; a writ of mandamus; and may include reopening
544-9 previously held proceedings; however, in no event
545-10 shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
546-11 be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate
547-12 remedy without violating any constitutional right of
548-13 the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate
549-14 remedy to the victim be a new trial or damages.
550-15 The court shall impose a mandatory training course
551-16 provided by the Attorney General for the employee under
552-17 item (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (4), which must
553-18 be successfully completed within 6 months of the entry of

573-2 constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
574-3 offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
575-4 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
576-5 forth on the record the facts that support its finding
577-6 that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if
578-7 the victim hears other testimony at trial.
579-8 (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
580-9 at court proceedings.
581-10 (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
582-11 witness at trial must seek permission of the court
583-12 before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
584-13 written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
585-14 forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
586-15 testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding
587-16 (i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the
588-17 advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
589-18 materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
590-19 shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
591-20 days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
592-21 a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
593-22 anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
594-23 privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
595-24 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
596-25 not available through other witnesses or evidence, the

609-2 prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
610-3 to seek appellate review before the advocate is
611-4 required to testify at an ex parte in camera
612-5 proceeding.
613-6 The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
614-7 advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
615-8 the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after
616-9 conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court
617-10 determines that due process requires any testimony
618-11 regarding confidential or privileged information or
619-12 communications, the court shall provide to the
620-13 prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
621-14 attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
622-15 advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
623-16 victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
624-17 to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
625-18 issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
626-19 presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte
627-20 in camera proceeding does not make the substance of
628-21 the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
629-22 inadmissible subject to discovery.
630-23 (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
631-24 support person present at the court proceedings, the

645-2 prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
646-3 defendant. If the defendant intends to call the
647-4 support person as a witness at trial, the defendant
648-5 must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is
649-6 issued. The defendant must file a written motion at
650-7 least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth
651-8 specifically the issues on which the support person
652-9 will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the
653-10 content of the anticipated testimony of the support
654-11 person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
655-12 materiality of the anticipated testimony.
656-13 If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
657-14 support person as a witness during the State's
658-15 case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
659-16 the court of this intent in the response to the
660-17 defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
661-18 different person to be the victim's support person.
662-19 The court may allow the defendant to inquire about
663-20 matters outside the scope of the direct examination
664-21 during cross-examination. If the court allows the
665-22 defendant to do so, the support person shall be
666-23 allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support
667-24 person has testified. A defendant who fails to

682-3 shall allow the support person to testify if called as
683-4 a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the
684-5 State's rebuttal.
685-6 If the court does not allow the defendant to
686-7 inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
687-8 examination, the support person shall be allowed to
688-9 remain in the courtroom after the support person has
689-10 been called by the defendant or the defendant has
690-11 rested. The court shall allow the support person to
691-12 testify in the State's rebuttal.
692-13 If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to
693-14 call the support person in the State's case-in-chief,
694-15 the court shall verify with the support person whether
695-16 the support person, if called as a witness, would
696-17 testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the
697-18 court finds that the support person would testify as
698-19 set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule
699-20 on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of
700-21 the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
701-22 anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall

730-15 confidential or privileged by law must seek permission
731-16 of the court before the subpoena is issued. The
732-17 defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
733-18 proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
734-19 materiality of the testimony or records. If the court
735-20 finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:
736-21 (i) the testimony or records are not protected
737-22 by an absolute privilege and
738-23 (ii) the testimony or records contain
739-24 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
740-25 is not available through other witnesses or
741-26 evidence, the court shall issue a subpoena

752-1 requiring the witness to appear in camera or a
753-2 sealed copy of the records be delivered to the
754-3 court to be reviewed in camera. If, after
755-4 conducting an in camera review of the witness
756-5 statement or records, the court determines that
757-6 due process requires disclosure of any potential
758-7 testimony or any portion of the records, the court
759-8 shall provide copies of the records that it
760-9 intends to disclose to the prosecuting attorney
761-10 and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
762-11 victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review
763-12 before the records are disclosed to the defendant,
764-13 used in any court proceeding, or disclosed to
765-14 anyone or in any way that would subject the
766-15 testimony or records to public review. The
767-16 disclosure of copies of any portion of the
768-17 testimony or records to the prosecuting attorney
769-18 under this Section does not make the records
770-19 subject to discovery or required to be provided to
771-20 the defendant.
772-21 (B) A prosecuting attorney who seeks to subpoena
773-22 information or records concerning the victim that are
774-23 confidential or privileged by law must first request
775-24 the written consent of the crime victim. If the victim
776-25 does not provide such written consent, including where

788-1 waiving privilege, the prosecuting attorney must serve
789-2 the subpoena at least 21 days prior to the date a
790-3 response or appearance is required to allow the
791-4 subject of the subpoena time to file a motion to quash
792-5 or request a hearing. The prosecuting attorney must
793-6 also send a written notice to the victim at least 21
794-7 days prior to the response date to allow the victim to
795-8 file a motion or request a hearing. The notice to the
796-9 victim shall inform the victim (i) that a subpoena has
797-10 been issued for confidential information or records
798-11 concerning the victim, (ii) that the victim has the
799-12 right to request a hearing prior to the response date
800-13 of the subpoena, and (iii) how to request the hearing.
801-14 The notice to the victim shall also include a copy of
802-15 the subpoena. If requested, a hearing regarding the
803-16 subpoena shall occur before information or records are
804-17 provided to the prosecuting attorney.
805-18 (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
806-19 victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
807-20 right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
808-21 prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of
809-22 the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and
810-23 that the victim had a right to be heard at the court
811-24 proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was
812-25 not given or that the victim was not adequately informed
813-26 of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not

825-2 sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time
826-3 necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and
827-4 nature of the court proceeding. The time between court
828-5 proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under
829-6 Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
830-7 (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
831-8 has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
832-9 minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
833-10 from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling
834-11 on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding,
835-12 the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the
836-13 request for the delay and, if the victim has provided
837-14 written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
838-15 disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
839-16 If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
840-17 court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has
841-18 not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
842-19 prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
843-20 confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
844-21 to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
845-22 victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
846-23 prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
847-24 confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
848-25 the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
849-26 continuance, the number and length of continuances that

861-2 to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
862-3 the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
863-4 record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
864-5 that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
865-6 (12) Right to Restitution.
866-7 (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
867-8 restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
868-9 the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
869-10 judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
870-11 (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
871-12 restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
872-13 at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall,
873-14 within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
874-15 information and documentation related to restitution
875-16 is needed and that the information and documentation
876-17 must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days
877-18 after sentencing. Failure to timely provide
878-19 information and documentation related to restitution
879-20 shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution.
880-21 The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days
881-22 after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution
882-23 and a notice that includes information concerning the
883-24 identity of any victims or other persons seeking
884-25 restitution, whether any victim or other person

896-1 of any damages together with any supporting
897-2 documentation, a restitution amount recommendation,
898-3 and the names of any co-defendants and their case
899-4 numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed
900-5 judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any
901-6 objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of
902-7 grounds for the objection, and a financial statement.
903-8 If the defendant does not file an objection, the court
904-9 may enter the judgment for restitution without further
905-10 proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and
906-11 either party requests a hearing, the court shall
907-12 schedule a hearing.
908-13 (13) Access to presentence reports.
909-14 (A) The victim may request a copy of the
910-15 presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
911-16 Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
912-17 Attorney shall redact the following information before
913-18 providing a copy of the report:
914-19 (i) the defendant's mental history and
915-20 condition;
916-21 (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
917-22 (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
918-23 (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
919-24 other personal information about any other victim.

932-1 report that may endanger the safety of any person.
933-2 (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to
934-3 the victim any of the information that has been
935-4 redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the
936-5 information will be stated in court at the sentencing.
937-6 (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
938-7 that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
939-8 the report and other information. Any dissemination of
940-9 the report or information that was not stated at a
941-10 court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
942-11 contempt of court.
943-12 (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
944-13 relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or
945-14 the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days
946-15 of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court
947-16 may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a
948-17 stay would not violate a constitutional right of the
949-18 defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief
950-19 sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated
951-20 in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the
952-21 State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime
953-22 victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal
954-23 relates.
955-24 (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
956-25 an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
957-26 violation of a victim's right.

969-2 accused throughout the criminal justice process and the
970-3 right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
971-4 family considered in determining whether to release the
972-5 defendant, and setting conditions of release after arrest
973-6 and conviction. A victim of domestic violence, a sexual
974-7 offense, or stalking may request the entry of a protective
975-8 order under Article 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure
976-9 of 1963.

984-17 individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime
985-18 from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate
986-19 county of any such person's final discharge from county
987-20 custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request,
988-21 shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a

1008-5 imprisonment. Notification shall be based on the most
1009-6 recent information as to the victim's or other concerned
1010-7 citizen's residence or other location available to the
1011-8 notifying authority.
1012-9 (1.5) The Prisoner Review Board shall notify a victim
1013-10 of a prisoner's pardon, commutation of sentence, release
1014-11 on furlough, or early release from State custody, if the

1016-13 notification shall be based upon the most recent
1017-14 information available to the Board as to the victim's
1018-15 residence or other location. The notification requirement
1019-16 under this paragraph (1.5) is in addition to any
1020-17 notification requirements under any other statewide victim
1021-18 notification systems. The Board shall document its efforts
1022-19 to provide the required notification if a victim alleges
1023-20 lack of notification under this paragraph (1.5).
1024-21 (2) When the defendant has been committed to the
1025-22 Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or

1046-7 notification requests under these provisions and shall
1047-8 publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
1048-9 State's Attorney of each county.
1049-10 (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
1050-11 Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile
1051-12 Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board
1052-13 of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify
1053-14 the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most

1081-6 than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target
1082-7 aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit
1083-8 a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner

3556+11 Code. If a psychological evaluation is submitted for the
3557+12 Prisoner Review Board's consideration, it shall be prepared by
3558+13 a person who has expertise in adolescent brain development and
3559+14 behavior, and shall take into consideration the diminished
3560+15 culpability of youthful offenders, the hallmark features of
3561+16 youth, and any subsequent growth and increased maturity of the
3562+17 person. At the hearing, the eligible person shall have the
3563+18 right to make a statement on his or her own behalf.

3583+2 (1) there is a substantial risk that the eligible
3584+3 person will not conform to reasonable conditions of parole
3585+4 or aftercare release; or

3587+6 deprecate the seriousness of his or her offense or promote
3588+7 disrespect for the law; or
3589+8 (3) the eligible person's release would have a
3590+9 substantially adverse effect on institutional discipline.
3591+10 In considering the factors affecting the release
