 (from Ch. 110, par. 8-802.2)Sec. 8-802.2.         Confidentiality of statements made to personnel  counseling victims of violent crimes.(a) Purpose.  This Section is intended to protect victims of violent  crimes from public disclosure of statements they make in confidence to  counselors of organizations established to help them.  Because of the fear  and trauma that often results from violent crimes, many victims hesitate  to seek help even where it is available and may therefore lack the  psychological support necessary to report the crime and aid police in  preventing future crimes.(b) Definitions.  As used in this Act, "violent crimes" include, but  are not limited to, any felony in which force or threat of force was used  against the victim or any misdemeanor which results in death or great  bodily harm to the victim.(c) Confidentiality.  Where any victim of a violent crime makes a  statement relating to the crime or its circumstances during the course of  therapy or consultation to any counselor, employee or volunteer of a victim aid  organization, the statement or contents thereof shall not be disclosed by  the organization or any of its personnel unless the maker of the statement  consents in writing or unless otherwise directed pursuant to this Section.If in any judicial proceeding, a party alleges that such statements are  necessary to the determination of any issue before the court and written  consent to disclosure has not been given, the party may ask the court to  consider the relevance and admissibility of the statements.  In such a  case, the court shall hold a hearing in camera on the relevance of the  statements.  If the court finds them relevant and admissible to the issue,  the court shall order the statements to be disclosed.    (Source: P.A. 86-538.)

Sec. 8-802.3. Informant's privilege.(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), if an individual (i) submits information concerning a criminal act to a law enforcement agency or to a community organization that acts as an intermediary in reporting to law enforcement and (ii) requests anonymity, then the identity of that individual is privileged and confidential and is not subject to discovery or admissible in evidence in a proceeding.(b) There is no privilege under subsection (a) if a court, after a hearing in camera, finds that the party seeking discovery or the proponent of the evidence has shown that:(1) the identity of an individual who submits     information concerning a criminal act is sought or offered in a court proceeding involving a felony or misdemeanor;(2) the evidence is not otherwise available; and(3) nondisclosure infringes upon a constitutional     right of an accused, or there is a need for the evidence that substantially outweighs the interest in protecting confidentiality.(b-5) Except as provided in this subsection or under subsection (j) of Supreme Court Rule 412, if a defendant's counsel seeks to discover the identity of an informant, then the defendant's counsel shall file a motion with the court alleging a good faith factual basis for believing that the prior representation of the informant creates a serious potential for an actual conflict of interest. Upon such filing, the court: (1) may deny the motion for lack of factual basis; or (2) if it finds a sufficiently alleged factual basis, shall conduct an in camera hearing with the informant, outside the presence of all counsel, to ascertain whether an actual conflict of interest exists.  A transcript of the in camera proceeding shall be made and sealed.  After the in camera hearing, the court shall: (i) deny the motion if there is no basis to conclude that a serious potential for an actual conflict exists; or (ii) inform the petitioning counsel that his or her continued representation is a conflict.  If the court concludes that a conflict exists, it shall notify the counsel of the nature of the conflict, subject to any condition of nondisclosure that the court deems appropriate.(c) The court may impose such sanctions as are necessary to enforce its order.
