19in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
20as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
21the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
22driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
23Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
24which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the

17his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a smoker's
18education or youth diversion program as defined in that Act if
19that program is available in the jurisdiction where the
20offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or youth
21diversion program shall be time-credited against any community
22service time imposed for any first violation of subsection
23(a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any other
24penalty that the court may impose for a violation of subsection
25(a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the
26State's Attorney, may in its discretion require the offender to

10unsuccessful in rectifying the conditions which have led to a
11finding of unfitness or inability to care for, protect, train
12or discipline the minor, and that it is in the best interest of
13the minor to take him or her from the custody of his or her
14parents, guardian or custodian, the court may:

11persons of like religious faith of the minor and shall require
12the Department of Children and Family Services to otherwise
13comply with Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act

16 (5) The clerk of the court shall issue to the guardian or
17legal custodian of the person a certified copy of the order of

26 (1) Written notice. A victim may complete a written

SB2777 Engrossed- 27 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 notice of intent to assert rights on a form prepared by the
2 Office of the Attorney General and provided to the victim
3 by the State's Attorney. The victim may at any time provide
4 a revised written notice to the State's Attorney. The
5 State's Attorney shall file the written notice with the
6 court. At the beginning of any court proceeding in which
7 the right of a victim may be at issue, the court and
8 prosecutor shall review the written notice to determine
9 whether the victim has asserted the right that may be at
10 issue.
11 (2) Victim's retained attorney. A victim's attorney
12 shall file an entry of appearance limited to assertion of
13 the victim's rights. Upon the filing of the entry of
14 appearance and service on the State's Attorney and the
15 defendant, the attorney is to receive copies of all
16 notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the
17 case.
18 (3) Standing. The victim has standing to assert the
19 rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section
20 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
21 under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising
22 jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting
23 attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
24 assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
25 case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
26 court proceeding, including on appeal.

SB2777 Engrossed- 28 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
2 (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
3 victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
4 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
5 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
6 case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
7 attorney shall consult with the victim and the victim's
8 attorney regarding the assertion or enforcement of a
9 right. If the prosecuting attorney decides not to
10 assert or enforce a victim's right, the prosecuting
11 attorney shall notify the victim or the victim's
12 attorney in sufficient time to allow the victim or the
13 victim's attorney to assert the right or to seek
14 enforcement of a right.
15 (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
16 assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
17 right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
18 the victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
19 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
20 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
21 case outside the presence of the jury.
22 (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
23 right or seeks enforcement of a right, and the court
24 denies the assertion of the right or denies the request
25 for enforcement of a right, the victim or victim's
26 attorney may file a motion to assert the victim's right

SB2777 Engrossed- 29 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 or to request enforcement of the right within 10 days
2 of the court's ruling. The motion need not demonstrate
3 the grounds for a motion for reconsideration. The court
4 shall rule on the merits of the motion.
5 (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
6 or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
7 victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
8 period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
9 for any decision denying the motion or request shall be
10 clearly stated on the record.
11 (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
12 (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
13 has been violated, the court shall determine the
14 appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
15 right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
16 considering all factors relevant to the issue, and then
17 awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
18 (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
19 actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
20 which the victim was entitled and may include reopening
21 previously held proceedings; however, in no event
22 shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
23 be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate remedy
24 without violating any constitutional right of the
25 defendant. In no event shall the appropriate remedy be
26 a new trial, damages, or costs.

SB2777 Engrossed- 30 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
2 to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
3 the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
4 (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
5 motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
6 prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
7 specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
8 constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
9 offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
10 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
11 forth on the record the facts that support its finding that
12 the victim's testimony will be materially affected if the
13 victim hears other testimony at trial.
14 (8) Right to have advocate present. A party who intends
15 to call an advocate as a witness must seek permission of
16 the court before the subpoena is issued. The party must
17 file a written motion and offer of proof regarding the
18 anticipated testimony of the advocate in sufficient time to
19 allow the court to rule and the victim to seek appellate
20 review. The court shall rule on the motion without delay.
21 (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
22 confidential or privileged information or records. A
23 defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
24 the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
25 seek permission of the court before the subpoena is issued.
26 The defendant must file a written motion and an offer of

SB2777 Engrossed- 31 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
2 materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
3 preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are not
4 protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
5 contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
6 is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
7 court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of the
8 records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in camera.
9 If, after conducting an in camera review of the records,
10 the court determines that due process requires disclosure
11 of any portion of the records, the court shall provide
12 copies of what it intends to disclose to the prosecuting
13 attorney and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
14 victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review before
15 the records are disclosed to the defendant. The disclosure
16 of copies of any portion of the records to the prosecuting
17 attorney does not make the records subject to discovery.
18 (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
19 victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
20 right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
21 prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of the
22 time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and that
23 the victim had a right to be heard at the court proceeding.
24 If the court determines that timely notice was not given or
25 that the victim was not adequately informed of the nature
26 of the court proceeding, the court shall not rule on any

SB2777 Engrossed- 32 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a sentence and
2 shall continue the hearing for the time necessary to notify
3 the victim of the time, place and nature of the court
4 proceeding. The time between court proceedings shall not be
5 attributable to the State under Section 103-5 of the Code
6 of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
7 (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
8 has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
9 minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
10 from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling on
11 a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, the
12 court shall inquire into the circumstances for the request
13 for the delay and, if the victim has provided written
14 notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
15 disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
16 If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
17 court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has not
18 conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
19 prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
20 confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
21 to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
22 victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
23 prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
24 confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
25 the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
26 continuance, the number and length of continuances that

SB2777 Engrossed- 33 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
2 to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
3 the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
4 record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
5 that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
6 (12) Right to Restitution.
7 (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
8 restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
9 the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
10 judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
11 (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
12 restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
13 at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, within
14 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
15 information and documentation related to restitution
16 is needed and that the information and documentation
17 must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days after
18 sentencing. Failure to timely provide information and
19 documentation related to restitution shall be deemed a
20 waiver of the right to restitution. The prosecutor
21 shall file and serve within 60 days after sentencing a
22 proposed judgment for restitution and a notice that
23 includes information concerning the identity of any
24 victims or other persons seeking restitution, whether
25 any victim or other person expressly declines
26 restitution, the nature and amount of any damages

SB2777 Engrossed- 34 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 together with any supporting documentation, a
2 restitution amount recommendation, and the names of
3 any co-defendants and their case numbers. Within 30
4 days after receipt of the proposed judgment for
5 restitution, the defendant shall file any objection to
6 the proposed judgment, a statement of grounds for the
7 objection, and a financial statement. If the defendant
8 does not file an objection, the court may enter the
9 judgment for restitution without further proceedings.
10 If the defendant files an objection and either party
11 requests a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing.
12 (13) Access to presentence reports.
13 (A) The victim may request a copy of the
14 presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
15 Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
16 Attorney shall redact the following information before
17 providing a copy of the report:
18 (i) the defendant's mental history and
19 condition;
20 (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
21 (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
22 (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
23 other personal information about any other victim.
24 (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
25 request the court redact other information in the
26 report that may endanger the safety of any person.

SB2777 Engrossed- 35 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b
1 (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to the
2 victim any of the information that has been redacted if
3 there is a reasonable likelihood that the information
4 will be stated in court at the sentencing.
5 (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
6 that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
7 the report and other information. Any dissemination of
8 the report or information that was not stated at a
9 court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
10 contempt of court.
11 (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
12 relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney or the
13 prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days of
14 the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court may
15 stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a stay
16 would not violate a constitutional right of the defendant.
17 If the appellate court denies the relief sought, the
18 reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated in a written
19 opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the State may
20 assert as error the court's denial of any crime victim's
21 right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.
22 (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
23 an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
24 violation of a victim's right.
25 (d)(1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or
26any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the

SB2777 Engrossed- 36 -LRB099 20630 RLC 45213 b

12inform a victim or any other concerned citizen when feasible at
13least 7 days prior to the prisoner's release on furlough of the
14times and dates of such furlough. Upon written request by the
15victim or any other concerned citizen, the State's Attorney
16shall notify the person once of the times and dates of release
17of a prisoner sentenced to periodic imprisonment. Notification
18shall be based on the most recent information as to victim's or
19other concerned citizen's residence or other location
20available to the notifying authority.
21 (2) When the defendant has been committed to the Department
22of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or any other
23provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, the victim may
24request to be notified by the releasing authority of the
25approval by the court of an on-grounds pass, a supervised

5and maintain a statewide telephone number to be used by victims
6to make notification requests under these provisions and shall
7publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
8State's Attorney of each county.
9 (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
10Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice
11immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board of the
12escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify the victim.
13The notification shall be based upon the most recent
14information as to the victim's residence or other location
15available to the Board. When no such information is available,
16the Board shall make all reasonable efforts to obtain the
17information and make the notification. When the escapee is
18apprehended, the Department of Corrections or the Department of
19Juvenile Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review
20Board and the Board shall notify the victim.

22sentenced shall receive reasonable written notice not less than
2330 days prior to the parole or aftercare release hearing or
24target aftercare release date and may submit, in writing, on

15 facility, whether resources have been exhausted within the
16 Department of Juvenile Justice, the availability of
17 rehabilitative and vocational programs within the
