13 requires:
14 "Adult resident" means any person between 18 and 22 years
15 of age who resides in any facility licensed by the Department
16 under the Child Care Act of 1969. For purposes of this Act, the

19 adult resident is abused or neglected.
20 "Agency" means a child care facility licensed under
21 Section 2.05 or Section 2.06 of the Child Care Act of 1969 and

12 surrounding circumstances, evidence exists that would cause a
13 reasonable person to believe that the child was neglected.
14 With respect to an agency, "blatant disregard" includes a
15 failure to implement practices that ensure the health,
16 physical well-being, or welfare of the children and adult
17 residents residing in the facility.
18 "Child" means any person under the age of 18 years, unless
19 legally emancipated by reason of marriage or entry into a

6 (2.6) If a minor is referred to court, then, at the time of

12 (g) Re-enactment; findings; purposes.
13 (1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
14 (i) Section 50-5 of Public Act 88-680, effective
15 January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the
16 child pornography statute, Section 11-20.1 of the
17 Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50-5 also contained
18 other provisions.
19 (ii) In addition, Public Act 88-680 was entitled
20 "AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A)
21 Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended
22 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was
23 entitled GANGS and amended various provisions of the
24 Criminal Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of
25 Corrections. (C) Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE
26 and amended various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle

SB2361- 49 -LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b SB2361 - 49 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
SB2361 - 49 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
1 Code. (D) Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and
2 amended the Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois
3 Controlled Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled
4 FIREARMS and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the
5 Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35
6 amended the Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime
7 Victims and Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of
8 Corrections. (G) Article 40 amended the Criminal Code
9 of 1961 to increase the penalty for compelling
10 organization membership of persons. (H) Article 45
11 created the Secure Residential Youth Care Facility
12 Licensing Act and amended the State Finance Act, the
13 Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Unified Code of
14 Corrections, and the Private Correctional Facility
15 Moratorium Act. (I) Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor
16 Management Act, the Firearm Owners Identification Card
17 Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code
18 of 1961, the Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified
19 Code of Corrections.
20 (iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
21 Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
22 ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
23 subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
24 IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
25 entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
26 was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to
SB2361 - 49 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
SB2361- 50 -LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b SB2361 - 50 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
SB2361 - 50 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
1 appeal.
2 (iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
3 people of this State and the validity of future
4 prosecutions under the child pornography statute of
5 the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
6 (2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
7 prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
8 for child pornography that may result from challenges to
9 the constitutional validity of Public Act 88-680 by
10 re-enacting the Section relating to child pornography that
11 was included in Public Act 88-680.
12 (3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
13 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
14 amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
15 question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
16 is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
17 amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
18 amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
19 text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
20 this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
21 was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
22 (4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
23 Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to
24 child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88-680 is
25 not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that
26 Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or impair any

5 Sec. 11-25. Grooming.
6 (a) A person commits grooming when he or she knowingly
7 uses a computer on-line service, Internet service, local
8 bulletin board service, or any other device capable of
9 electronic data storage or transmission, performs an act in
10 person or by conduct through a third party, or uses written

18 child or with another person believed by the person to be a
19 child. As used in this Section, "child" means a person under 17
20 years of age.
21 (a-5) It is not a defense to a violation of this Section
22 that the accused reasonably believed the child to be 17 years
23 of age or over.
24 (b) Sentence. Grooming is a Class 4 felony.

3 exploitation of a child.
4 (a) In this Section, "child" means a person under 17 years
5 of age.

7 sexual exploitation of a child when he or she knowingly sells
8 or offers to sell travel services for the purpose of seducing,
9 soliciting, luring, or enticing, or attempting to seduce,
10 solicit, lure, or entice a person to travel to a location
11 within this State to commit any sex offense as defined in
12 Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act, to distribute
13 photographs depicting the sex organs of the child, or to
14 otherwise engage in any unlawful sexual conduct with a child
15 or with another person believed by the person to be a child.

2 adjudication of delinquency under the Juvenile Court Act of
3 1987 where the conviction was under Section 11-14
4 (prostitution) or Section 11-14.2 (first offender; felony
5 prostitution) of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
6 Code of 2012 or a similar local ordinance and the defendant's
7 participation in the offense was a result of having been a
8 trafficking victim under Section 10-9 (involuntary servitude,
9 involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in
10 persons) of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
11 2012; or a victim of a severe form of trafficking under the
12 federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (22 U.S.C. Section
13 7102(13)); provided that:
14 (1) a motion under this Section shall state why the
15 facts giving rise to this motion were not presented to the
16 trial court, and shall be made with due diligence, after
17 the defendant has ceased to be a victim of such
18 trafficking or has sought services for victims of such
19 trafficking, subject to reasonable concerns for the safety
20 of the defendant, family members of the defendant, or
21 other victims of such trafficking that may be jeopardized
22 by the bringing of such motion, or for other reasons
23 consistent with the purpose of this Section; and
24 (2) reasonable notice of the motion shall be served

SB2361 - 54 - LRB104 03861 RLC 13885 b
1 the court, the violation was a result of the defendant having
2 been a victim of human trafficking. Evidence of such may
3 include, but is not limited to:
4 (1) certified records of federal or State court
5 proceedings which demonstrate that the defendant was a
6 victim of a trafficker charged with a trafficking offense
7 under Section 10-9 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
8 Criminal Code of 2012, or under 22 U.S.C. Chapter 78;

13 staff of a victim services organization, an attorney, a
14 member of the clergy, or a medical or other professional
15 from whom the defendant has sought assistance in
16 addressing the trauma associated with being trafficked.
17 Alternatively, the court may consider such other evidence
18 as it deems of sufficient credibility and probative value in
19 determining whether the defendant is a trafficking victim or
20 victim of a severe form of trafficking.
21 (c) If the court grants a motion under this Section, it
22 must vacate the conviction and may take such additional action
23 as is appropriate in the circumstances.
