33 expenses incurred by their incarceration at a rate to be

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 5 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

1 determined by the Department in accordance with this Section.
2         (1) Committed persons shall fully cooperate with the
3 Department by providing complete financial information for
4 the purposes under this Section.
5         (2) The failure of a committed person to fully
6 cooperate as provided for in clauses (3) and (4) of

8 parole determination. Any committed person who willfully
9 refuses to cooperate with the obligations set forth in this
10 Section may be subject to the loss of good conduct credit
11 towards his or her sentence of up to 180 days.
12     (a-5) Assets information form.
13         (1) The Department shall develop a form, which shall be
14 used by the Department to obtain information from all
15 committed persons regarding assets of the persons.
16         (2) In order to enable the Department to determine the
17 financial status of the committed person, the form shall
18 provide for obtaining the age and marital status of a
19 committed person, the number and ages of children of the
20 person, the number and ages of other dependents, the type
21 and value of real estate, the type and value of personal
22 property, cash and bank accounts, the location of any lock
23 boxes, the type and value of investments, pensions and
24 annuities and any other personalty of significant cash

29 the investigation of a committed person's assets.
30         (3) Upon being developed, the form shall be submitted
31 to each committed person as of the date the form is
32 developed and to every committed person who thereafter is
33 sentenced to imprisonment under the jurisdiction of the
34 Department. The form may be resubmitted to a committed

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 6 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

6 her knowledge the information provided is complete and
7 accurate.
8     (b) Expenses. The rate at which sums to be charged for the
9 expenses incurred by a committed person subject to this Section
10 for his or her confinement shall be computed by the Department
11 as the average per capita cost per day for all inmates of that
12 institution or facility for that fiscal year. The average per
13 capita cost per day shall be computed by the Department based
14 on the average per capita cost per day for the operation of
15 that institution or facility for the fiscal year immediately
16 preceding the period of incarceration for which the rate is
17 being calculated. The Department shall establish rules and
18 regulations providing for the computation of the above costs,
19 and shall determine the average per capita cost per day for
20 each of its institutions or facilities for each fiscal year.
21 The Department shall have the power to modify its rules and
22 regulations, so as to provide for the most accurate and most
23 current average per capita cost per day computation. Where the
24 committed person is placed in a facility outside the
25 Department, the Department may pay the actual cost of services
26 in that facility, and may collect reimbursement for the entire
27 amount paid from the committed person receiving those services.

29 not limited to, those relating to: the average per capita cost
30 per day for a particular institution or facility for a

32 cost per day; the average daily population of a particular

7 Director. If reproduced copies are used, the Director must
8 certify that those are true and exact copies of the records on
9 file with the Department. If computer printouts of records of
10 the Department are offered as proof, the Director must certify
11 that those computer printouts are true and exact
12 representations of records properly entered into standard
13 electronic computing equipment, in the regular course of the
14 Department's business, at or reasonably near the time of the
15 occurrence of the facts recorded, from trustworthy and reliable
16 information. The reproduced copy or computer printout shall,
17 without further proof, be admitted into evidence in any legal
18 proceeding, and shall be prima facie correct and prima facie
19 evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.
20     (d) Authority. The Director, or the Director's designee,
21 may, when he or she knows or reasonably believes that a
22 committed person whose assets exceed $10,000 (excluding the
23 value of his or her primary residence and his or her primary
24 motor vehicle), or the estate of that person, has assets which
25 may be used to satisfy all or part of a judgment rendered under
26 this Act, or when he or she knows or reasonably believes that a
27 committed person whose assets exceed $10,000 (excluding the
28 value of his or her primary residence and his or her primary
29 motor vehicle) is engaged in gang-related activity and has a
30 substantial sum of money or other assets, provide for the
31 forwarding to the Attorney General of a report on the committed
32 person and that report shall contain a completed form under
33 subsection (a-5) together with all other information available
34 concerning the assets of the committed person and an estimate

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 8 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

1 of the total expenses for that committed person, and authorize
2 the Attorney General to institute proceedings to require the
3 persons, or the estates of the persons, to reimburse the
4 Department for the expenses incurred by their incarceration.
5 The Attorney General, upon authorization of the Director, or
6 the Director's designee, shall institute actions on behalf of
7 the Department and pursue claims on the Department's behalf in
8 probate and bankruptcy proceedings, to recover from committed
9 persons whose assets exceed $10,000 (excluding the value of
10 their residence and their primary motor vehicle) the expenses
11 incurred by their confinement. For purposes of this subsection
12 (d), "gang-related" activity has the meaning ascribed to it in
13 Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
14 Prevention Act.
15     (e) Scope and limitations.

17 more than 2 years after the release or death of the
18 committed person in question.
19         (2) The death of a convicted person, by execution or

21 institution or facility shall not act as a bar to any
22 action or proceeding under this Section.
23         (3) The assets of a committed person, for the purposes
24 of this Section, shall include any property, tangible or
25 intangible, real or personal, belonging to or due to a
26 committed or formerly committed person including income or
27 payments to the person from social security, worker's
28 compensation, veteran's compensation, pension benefits, or
29 from any other source whatsoever and any and all assets and
30 property of whatever character held in the name of the
31 person, held for the benefit of the person, or payable or
32 otherwise deliverable to the person, except his or her
33 primary residence and a primary motor vehicle. Any trust,
34 or portion of a trust, of which a convicted person is a

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 9 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

1 beneficiary, shall be construed as an asset of the person,
2 to the extent that benefits thereunder are required to be
3 paid to the person, or shall in fact be paid to the person.
4 At the time of a legal proceeding by the Attorney General
5 under this Section, if it appears that the committed person
6 has any assets which ought to be subjected to the claim of
7 the Department under this Section, the court may issue an
8 order requiring any person, corporation, or other legal
9 entity possessed or having custody of those assets to
10 appropriate any of the assets or a portion thereof toward
11 reimbursing the Department as provided for under this
12 Section. No provision of this Section shall be construed in
13 violation of any State or federal limitation on the
14 collection of money judgments.
15         (4) Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
16 Department from applying federal benefits that are
17 specifically provided for the care and treatment of a
18 committed person toward the cost of care provided by a
19 State facility or private agency.

22     Sec. 5-7-6. Duty of Clerk of Court or the Department of
23 Corrections; collection and disposition of compensation.
24     (a) Every gainfully employed offender shall be responsible
25 for managing his or her earnings. The clerk of the circuit
26 court shall have only those responsibilities regarding an
27 offender's earnings as are set forth in this Section.
28     Every offender, including offenders who are sentenced to
29 periodic imprisonment for weekends only, gainfully employed
30 shall pay a fee for room and board at a rate established, with
31 the concurrence of the chief judge of the judicial circuit, by
32 the county board of the county in which the offender is
33 incarcerated. The concurrence of the chief judge shall be in

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 10 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

1 the form of an administrative order. In establishing the fee
2 for room and board consideration may be given to all costs
3 incidental to the incarceration of offenders. If an offender is
4 necessarily absent from the institution at mealtime he or she
5 shall, without additional charge, be furnished with a meal to
6 carry to work. Each week, on a day designated by the clerk of
7 the circuit court, every offender shall pay the clerk the fees
8 for the offender's room and board. Failure to pay the clerk on
9 the day designated shall result in the termination of the
10 offender's release. All fees for room and board collected by
11 the circuit court clerk shall be disbursed into the county's
12 General Corporate Fund.
13     By order of the court, all or a portion of the earnings of
14 employed offenders shall be turned over to the clerk to be
15 distributed for the following purposes, in the order stated:
16         (1) the room and board of the offender;
17         (2) necessary travel expenses to and from work and
18 other incidental expenses of the offender, when those
19 expenses are incurred by the administrator of the
20 offender's imprisonment;
21         (3) support of the offender's dependents, if any.
22     (b) If the offender has one or more dependents who are
23 recipients of financial assistance pursuant to the Illinois
24 Public Aid Code, or who are residents of a State hospital,
25 State school or foster care facility provided by the State, the
26 court shall order the offender to turn over all or a portion of
27 his earnings to the clerk who shall, after making the
28 deductions provided for under paragraph (a), distribute those
29 earnings to the appropriate agency as reimbursement for the
30 cost of care of such dependents. The order shall permit the
31 Department of Human Services (acting as successor to the
32 Illinois Department of Public Aid under the Department of Human
33 Services Act) or the local governmental unit, as the case may
34 be, to request the clerk that subsequent payments be made

 

 

09300HB5870ham001 - 11 - LRB093 18689 RLC 49484 a

1 directly to the dependents, or to some agency or person in
2 their behalf, upon removal of the dependents from the public
3 aid rolls; and upon such direction and removal of the
4 recipients from the public aid rolls, the Department of Human
5 Services or the local governmental unit, as the case requires,
6 shall give written notice of such action to the court. Payments
7 received by the Department of Human Services or by governmental
8 units in behalf of recipients of public aid shall be deposited
9 into the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury or General
10 Assistance Fund of the governmental unit, under Section 10-19
11 of the Illinois Public Aid Code.
12     (c) The clerk of the circuit court shall keep individual
13 accounts of all money collected by him as required by this
14 Article. He shall deposit all moneys as trustee in a depository
15 designated by the county board and shall make payments required
16 by the court's order from such trustee account. Such accounts
17 shall be subject to audit in the same manner as accounts of the
18 county are audited.
19     (d) If an institution or the Department of Corrections
20 certifies to the court that it can administer this Section with
21 respect to persons committed to it under this Article, the
22 clerk of the court shall be relieved of its duties under this
23 Section and they shall be assumed by such institution or the
24 Department.
25     (e) This Section does not apply to a person sentenced to
26 periodic imprisonment for a felony whose assets do not exceed
27 $10,000 (excluding the value of his or her primary residence
28 and his or her primary motor vehicle).
