The foregoing message from the Senate reporting Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL 4663 was placed on the Calendar on the order of Concurrence. A message from the Senate by Mr. Harry, Secretary: Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in the passage of a bill of the following title to-wit: HOUSE BILL 4279 A bill for AN ACT to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 by changing Section 103-5. Together with the attached amendment thereto (which amendment has been printed by the Senate), in the adoption of which I am instructed to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit: Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 4279. Passed the Senate, as amended, November 28, 2000, by a three-fifths vote. Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 4279 by replacing the title with the following: "AN ACT to reenact Section 3 of the Statewide Grand Jury Act."; and by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 1. Findings; purpose. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that: (1) Public Act 89-688, effective June 1, 1997, contained provisions amending Section 3 of the Statewide Grand Jury Act to authorize the creation of a second statewide grand jury. Public Act 89-688 also contained other provisions. (2) On October 20, 2000, in People v. Jerry Lee Foster, Docket No. 4-99-0933, the Illinois Appellate Court, Fourth District, ruled that Public Act 89-688 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)) and is therefore unconstitutional in its entirety. (3) The provisions added to Section 3 of the Statewide Grand Jury Act by Public Act 88-680 (consisting of the final paragraph of the Section, relating to the convening of a second statewide grand jury) are of vital concern to the people of this State. Prompt legislative action concerning those provisions is necessary. (4) Section 3 of the Statewide Grand Jury Act has subsequently been amended by Public Act 91-225, effective January 1, 2000, which added subdivision (a-5). (b) It is the purpose of this Act to re-enact Section 3 of the Statewide Grand Jury Act, including the provisions added by Public Act 89-688 and the subsequent amendment by P.A. 91-225. This re-enactment is intended to remove any question as to the validity or content of those provisions; it is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of the Section as set forth in this Act. The re-enacted material is shown in this Act as existing text (i.e., without underscoring).
9 [November 28, 2000] Section 5. The Statewide Grand Jury Act is amended by re-enacting Section 3 as follows: (725 ILCS 215/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1703) Sec. 3. Written application for the appointment of a Circuit Judge to convene and preside over a Statewide Grand Jury, with jurisdiction extending throughout the State, shall be made to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Upon such written application, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall appoint a Circuit Judge from the circuit where the Statewide Grand Jury is being sought to be convened, who shall make a determination that the convening of a Statewide Grand Jury is necessary. In such application the Attorney General shall state that the convening of a Statewide Grand Jury is necessary because of an alleged offense or offenses set forth in this Section involving more than one county of the State and identifying any such offense alleged; and (a) that he or she believes that the grand jury function for the investigation and indictment of the offense or offenses cannot effectively be performed by a county grand jury together with the reasons for such belief, and (b)(1) that each State's Attorney with jurisdiction over an offense or offenses to be investigated has consented to the impaneling of the Statewide Grand Jury, or (2) if one or more of the State's Attorneys having jurisdiction over an offense or offenses to be investigated fails to consent to the impaneling of the Statewide Grand Jury, the Attorney General shall set forth good cause for impaneling the Statewide Grand Jury. If the Circuit Judge determines that the convening of a Statewide Grand Jury is necessary, he or she shall convene and impanel the Statewide Grand Jury with jurisdiction extending throughout the State to investigate and return indictments: (a) For violations of any of the following or for any other criminal offense committed in the course of violating any of the following: the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the Cannabis Control Act, the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Act, or the Cannabis and Controlled Substances Tax Act; a streetgang related felony offense; Section 24-2.1, 24-2.2, 24-3, 24-3A, 24-3.1, 24-3.3, 24-3.4, 24-4, or 24-5 or subsection 24-1(a)(4), 24-1(a)(6), 24-1(a)(7), 24-1(a)(9), 24-1(a)(10), or 24-1(c) of the Criminal Code of 1961; or a money laundering offense; provided that the violation or offense involves acts occurring in more than one county of this State; and (a-5) For violations facilitated by the use of a computer, including the use of the Internet, the World Wide Web, electronic mail, message board, newsgroup, or any other commercial or noncommercial on-line service, of any of the following offenses: indecent solicitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child, soliciting for a juvenile prostitute, keeping a place of juvenile prostitution, juvenile pimping, or child pornography; and (b) For the offenses of perjury, subornation of perjury, communicating with jurors and witnesses, and harassment of jurors and witnesses, as they relate to matters before the Statewide Grand Jury. "Streetgang related" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act. Upon written application by the Attorney General for the convening of an additional Statewide Grand Jury, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall appoint a Circuit Judge from the circuit for which the additional Statewide Grand Jury is sought. The Circuit Judge shall determine the necessity for an additional Statewide Grand Jury in accordance with the provisions of this Section. No more than 2 Statewide Grand Juries may be empaneled at any time. (Source: P.A. 91-225, eff. 1-1-00.) Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law.".

The court upon the filing of such a petition, may order the person refusing to obey the subpoena to appear at an investigation or hearing, or to there produce documentary evidence, if so ordered, or to give evidence relative to the subject matter of that investigation or hearing. Any failure to obey such order of the circuit court may be punished by that court as a contempt of court.

If the Board shall parole a person, and, if he is not released within 90 days from the effective date of the order granting parole, the matter shall be returned to the Board for review. (g) The Board shall maintain a registry of decisions in which parole has been granted, which shall include the name and case number of the prisoner, the highest charge for which the prisoner was sentenced, the length of sentence imposed, the date of the sentence, the date of the parole, the basis for the decision of the Board to grant parole and the vote of the Board on any such decisions.
