Changes the statute of limitations for grooming to provide that when the victim is under 17 years of age at the time of the offense, a prosecution for grooming may be commenced within 10 years after the victim or the person with a disability attains 17 years of age. Changes the name of the offense of child pornography to child sexual abuse material. Deletes references to criminal transmission of HIV in various statutes. In the Sex Offenses Article of the Criminal Code of 2012, provides a definition for "unable to give knowing consent" and changes the definition of "family member" to include a sibling and an accused who has resided in the household for at least 3 (rather than 6) months. Provides that a person commits sexual exploitation of a child if in the presence or virtual presence, or both, of a child and with knowledge that a child or one whom he or she believes to be a child would view his or her acts, that person knowingly entices, coerces, or persuades a child to participate in the production of the recording or memorializing a sexual act of persons ages 18 or older. Provides that a violation of this provision of sexual exploitation of a child is a Class 4 felony. Provides that a defendant, in order to commit grooming, must be 5 years or more older than the groomed child, or hold a position of trust, authority, or supervision in relation to the child at the time of the offense. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that the court may set any conditions it finds just and appropriate on the taking of testimony of a victim or witness who is under 18 years of age or an intellectually disabled person or a person affected by a developmental disability (rather than a victim who is a child under the age of 18 years or a moderately, severely, or profoundly intellectually disabled person or a person affected by a developmental disability) involving the use of a facility dog in any criminal proceeding. Makes other changes concerning the admissibility of evidence in cases involving involuntary servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in persons. Amends various Acts to change references from "child pornography" to "child sexual abuse material". ## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read - Fewer court charges for minors and families: benefit, low. Courts cannot impose fines or assessments authorized by Section 10-5 on minors covered by Juvenile Court Act Articles III, IV, or V. This also covers people under 18 transferred to adult court or excluded from juvenile court under Article V. Parents, guardians, and legal custodians receive the same… - Clearer consent protections in sexual-offense cases: benefit, low. A person cannot give knowing consent when asleep, unconscious, or unaware of the act and unable to agree knowingly and voluntarily. The law also infers inability to consent in specified corrections custody or supervision, child-welfare residential care, treatment, residential-facility, and police-c… - Longer access to child abuse prosecutions: benefit, low. Prosecutors face no filing deadline for the child sexual abuse material offense in Section 11-20.1(a)(1). A separate rule in Section 3-6(d) allows covered child sexual abuse material cases within one year after the victim turns 18. That separate deadline cannot fall sooner than 3 years after the of… - More witnesses can use facility dogs: benefit, low. Courts may allow victims or witnesses under 18 to testify with a facility dog in any criminal proceeding. People with intellectual or developmental disabilities are also eligible. The option is no longer limited to victims or specified offenses. Courts consider the person’s age, the parties’ rights… - Broader grooming rules protect children: cost, medium. Grooming covers knowing electronic, in-person, third-party, or written conduct involving children under 17, their guardians, or people believed to be either. The accused must be at least 5 years older or hold trust, authority, or supervision over the child. Covered solicitation includes sex offense… - More grounds for longer criminal sentences: cost, medium. Courts may consider a longer, extended-term sentence when someone knowingly records their felony and intends to share the recording. Qualifying prior child sexual abuse material convictions from Illinois or another state also support extended terms in specified cases involving victims under 13. Cou… - Felony penalties for involving child recorders: cost, low. Sexual exploitation includes knowingly enticing, coercing, or persuading a child under 17 to help record or otherwise document a sexual act. The act must involve people age 18 or older. This conduct is a Class 4 felony. - Broader family definition in criminal cases: mixed, low. The relevant criminal-law definition of family member includes siblings. It also includes an accused person who lived continuously with a child under 18 for at least 3 months. This broadens when rules based on a family relationship apply. - Changed evidence rules in trafficking trials: mixed, low. Limits on evidence about victims’ or corroborating witnesses’ sexual history now cover involuntary servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of minors, and trafficking. Exceptions remain subject to a private court hearing, relevance, and a finding that the evidence’s value outweighs unfair prejudice.… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Cosponsor: Amy Briel (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Amy Elik (Republican), House - Cosponsor: Camille Y.
