18        (b) (1)  It  shall  be an affirmative defense to a charge

20    under  all  of the circumstances, that the child was 18 years
21    of age or older or that the person  was  not  a  severely  or

25    inquiry designed to ascertain whether the child was 18  years
26    of  age  or  older  or  that the person was not a severely or

27    violation  of  this  Section  within  10  years  of  a  prior
28    conviction,  the  court shall order a presentence psychiatric
29    examination of the person.  The examiner shall report to  the

                            -6-              LRB9212174RCcdam
 1    subparagraphs  (i) through (vii) or paragraph 1 of subsection

31                  (iii)  On  September  22,   1998,   the   Third
32             District  Appellate  Court  in People v. Dainty, 701
33             N.E. 2d 118, ruled that Public Act  88-680  violates
34             the   single   subject   clause   of   the  Illinois
 
                            -9-              LRB9212174RCcdam
 1             Constitution (Article IV, Section  8  (d))  and  was
 2             unconstitutional  in  its  entirety.  As of the time
 3             this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People  v.
 4             Dainty was still subject to appeal.
 5                  (iv)  Child  pornography  is a vital concern to
 6             the people of this State and the validity of  future
 7             prosecutions  under the child pornography statute of
 8             the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
 9             (2)  It is the purpose of  this  amendatory  Act  of
10        1999  to  prevent  or  minimize  any problems relating to
11        prosecutions for child pornography that may  result  from
12        challenges  to  the constitutional validity of Public Act
13        88-680 by  re-enacting  the  Section  relating  to  child
14        pornography that was included in Public Act 88-680.
15             (3)  This  amendatory  Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
16        11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of  1961,  as  it  has  been
17        amended.   This  re-enactment  is  intended to remove any
18        question as to the validity or content of  that  Section;
19        it is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
20        amends  the  text  of  the  Section  as set forth in this
21        amendatory  Act  of  1999.   The  material  is  shown  as
22        existing text  (i.e., without underscoring)  because,  as
23        of  the  time  this  amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared,
24        People v. Dainty was subject to appeal  to  the  Illinois
25        Supreme Court.
26             (4)  The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999
27        of  Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating
28        to child pornography  that  was  amended  by  Public  Act
29        88-680  is  not  intended, and shall not be construed, to
30        imply that Public Act 88-680 is invalid or  to  limit  or
31        impair   any  legal  argument  concerning  whether  those
32        provisions were substantially re-enacted by other  Public
33        Acts.

 5        Sec. 33D-1.  (a) Contributing to the criminal delinquency
 6    of a juvenile. Any person of the  age  of  17  21  years  and
 7    upwards,  who  with  the  intent to promote or facilitate the
 8    commission  of  an  offense  that  is  either  a  felony   or

10    the age of 17 years in the commission of the offense  commits
11    the  offense of contributing to the criminal delinquency of a
12    juvenile.
13        (b)  Sentence. Contributing to the  criminal  delinquency
14    of  a  juvenile is a felony one grade higher than the offense
15    committed, if the offense committed is a felony, except  when
16    the  offense  committed  is  first degree murder or a Class X
17    felony. When the offense committed is first degree murder  or
18    a  Class  X  felony,  the  penalty  for  contributing  to the
19    criminal delinquency of a juvenile is the same as the penalty
20    for first degree murder or a Class  X  felony,  respectively.
21    Contributing  to  the criminal delinquency of a juvenile is a
22    misdemeanor one grade higher than the offense  committed,  if
23    the  offense  committed  is  a  misdemeanor,  except when the
24    offense committed is a Class A misdemeanor.  If  the  offense
25    committed   is   a  Class  A  misdemeanor,  the  penalty  for
26    contributing to the criminal delinquency of a juvenile  is  a
27    Class 4 felony.

29        Section   10.   The  Wrongs to Children Act is amended by
30    changing Section 5.1 as follows:

31        (720 ILCS 150/5.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2355.1)
 
                            -11-             LRB9212174RCcdam
 1        Sec. 5.1.  Permitting sexual abuse of a child.
 2        (a)  A person responsible for a child's  welfare  commits
 3    the  offense  of  permitting sexual abuse of a child if he or
 4    she has actual knowledge of and  permits  an  act  of  sexual
 5    abuse  upon  the  child,  or  permits  the child to engage in
 6    prostitution as defined in Section 11-14 of the Criminal Code
 7    of 1961.
 8        (b)  In this Section:
 9        "Child" means a minor under the age of 17 years.
10        "Person responsible for the child's  welfare"  means  the
11    child's  parent, step-parent, legal guardian, or other person
12    having custody of a child, who is responsible for the child's
13    care at the time of the alleged sexual abuse.
14        "Sexual abuse" includes criminal sexual abuse or criminal
15    sexual assault as defined in Section 12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1,
16    12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
17        "Prostitution"  means  prostitution as defined in Section
18    11-14 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
19        "Actual knowledge" includes credible allegations made  by
20    the child.
21        (c)  This  Section does not apply to a person responsible
22    for the child's welfare who, having reason  to  believe  that
23    sexual  abuse  has  occurred,  makes  timely  and  reasonable
24    efforts  to  stop  the  sexual  abuse by reporting the sexual
25    abuse in conformance with  the  Abused  and  Neglected  Child
26    Reporting  Act or by reporting the sexual abuse, or causing a
27    report to be made, to medical or law enforcement  authorities
28    or  anyone  who is a mandated reporter under Section 4 of the
29    Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
30        (d)  Whenever a law enforcement  officer  has  reason  to
31    believe  that  the  child  or  the person responsible for the
32    child's welfare has been abused  by  a  family  or  household
33    member  as  defined  by the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
34    1986, the officer shall immediately use all reasonable  means
 
                            -12-             LRB9212174RCcdam
 1    to prevent further abuse under Section 112A-30 of the Code of
 2    Criminal Procedure of 1963.
 3        (e)  An  order  of  protection under Section 111-8 of the
 4    Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 shall  be  sought  in  all
 5    cases  where there is reason to believe that a child has been
 6    sexually  abused  by  a  family  or  household  member.    In
 7    considering  appropriate  available  remedies,  it  shall  be
 8    presumed that awarding physical care or custody to the abuser
 9    is not in the child's best interest.
10        (f)  A  person  may  not  be  charged with the offense of
11    permitting sexual abuse of a child under this  Section  until
12    the person who committed the offense is charged with criminal
13    sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault, predatory
14    criminal  sexual  assault  of a child, criminal sexual abuse,
15    aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or prostitution.
16        (g)  A person convicted of permitting the sexual abuse of
17    a child  is  guilty  of  a  Class  4  felony.   A  second  or
18    subsequent  offense is a Class 2 felony, except that when the
19    sexual abuse involved sexual penetration causing bodily  harm
20    to  the child, it is a Class 1 felony.  As a condition of any
21    sentence of supervision, probation, conditional discharge, or
22    mandatory supervised release, any person convicted under this
23    Section shall be  ordered  to  undergo  child  sexual  abuse,
24    domestic  violence,  or  other  appropriate  counseling for a
25    specified duration with a qualified social or  mental  health
26    worker.
27        (h)  It   is  an  affirmative  defense  to  a  charge  of
28    permitting sexual abuse of a child under  this  Section  that
29    the   person  responsible  for  the  child's  welfare  had  a
30    reasonable apprehension that timely action to stop the  abuse
31    or  prostitution  would  result in the imminent infliction of
32    death,  great  bodily  harm,  permanent   disfigurement,   or
33    permanent disability to that person or another in retaliation
34    for  reporting.  A. A parent, step-parent, legal guardian, or
 
                            -13-             LRB9212174RCcdam
 1    other person having custody of a child who  knowingly  allows
 2    or permits an act of criminal sexual abuse or criminal sexual
 3    assault as defined in Section 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or
 4    12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, upon his or her child, or
 5    knowingly  permits,  induces,  promotes,  or arranges for the
 6    child to engage in prostitution as defined in  Section  11-14
 7    of  the  Criminal  Code of 1961, and fails to take reasonable
 8    steps to prevent its commission or future occurrences of such
 9    acts commits the offense of permitting the sexual abuse of  a
10    child.   For  purposes of this Section, "child" means a minor
11    under the age of 17 years.
12        B.  Any person convicted of permitting the  sexual  abuse
13    of a child is guilty of a Class 1 felony.
