 1        AN ACT in relation to criminal law.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The Unified Code of Corrections  is  amended
 5    by changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:

 6        (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
 7        Sec.  5-6-1.  Sentences  of  Probation and of Conditional
 8    Discharge  and  Disposition  of  Supervision.   The   General
 9    Assembly  finds  that  in  order  to  protect the public, the
10    criminal justice  system  must  compel  compliance  with  the
11    conditions  of  probation  by  responding  to violations with
12    swift,  certain  and  fair   punishments   and   intermediate
13    sanctions.  The  Chief  Judge  of  each circuit shall adopt a
14    system of structured, intermediate sanctions  for  violations
15    of  the  terms  and  conditions  of  a sentence of probation,
16    conditional discharge or disposition of supervision.
17        (a)  Except  where  specifically  prohibited   by   other
18    provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
19    probation  or  conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
20    having regard to the nature and circumstance of the  offense,
21    and  to the history, character and condition of the offender,
22    the court is of the opinion that:
23             (1)  his imprisonment or  periodic  imprisonment  is
24        necessary for the protection of the public; or
25             (2)  probation   or   conditional   discharge  would
26        deprecate the seriousness of the offender's  conduct  and
27        would be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
28        The  court  shall  impose as a condition of a sentence of
29    probation, conditional discharge, or  supervision,  that  the
30    probation  agency  may  invoke  any sanction from the list of
31    intermediate sanctions adopted by  the  chief  judge  of  the
 
                            -2-      LRB093 02047 RLC 02048 b
 1    circuit  court  for violations of the terms and conditions of
 2    the  sentence  of  probation,   conditional   discharge,   or
 3    supervision,  subject  to  the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of
 4    this Act.
 5        (b)  The court  may  impose  a  sentence  of  conditional
 6    discharge  for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
 7    neither  a  sentence  of   imprisonment   nor   of   periodic
 8    imprisonment nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
 9        (c)  The   court   may,  upon  a  plea  of  guilty  or  a
10    stipulation by the defendant  of  the  facts  supporting  the
11    charge  or  a finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and
12    the  imposition  of  a  sentence,  and  enter  an  order  for
13    supervision of the defendant, if the defendant is not charged
14    with a: (i) Class A misdemeanor, as defined by the  following
15    provisions  of  the  Criminal  Code of 1961: Sections 12-3.2;
16    12-15; 26-5; 31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections  (b)  and  (c)  of
17    Section  21-1; paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11)
18    of subsection (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) misdemeanor violation
19    of and Section 1 of the Boarding Aircraft  With  Weapon  Act;
20    (iii)  misdemeanor  violation  of Section 3, 3.01, 3.03-1, or
21    4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals Act; or (iv) a felony. If
22    the defendant is not  barred  from  receiving  an  order  for
23    supervision  as  provided  in  this subsection, the court may
24    enter  an  order  for  supervision  after   considering   the
25    circumstances  of the offense, and the history, character and
26    condition of the offender, if the court  is  of  the  opinion
27    that:
28             (1)  the  offender  is  not likely to commit further
29        crimes;
30             (2)  the defendant and  the  public  would  be  best
31        served  if  the  defendant were not to receive a criminal
32        record; and
33             (3)  in the best interests of justice  an  order  of
34        supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
 
                            -3-      LRB093 02047 RLC 02048 b
 1        permitted under this Code.

 6             (1)  convicted for a violation of Section 11-501  of
 7        the  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  or a similar provision of a
 8        local ordinance  or  any  similar  law  or  ordinance  of
 9        another state; or
10             (2)  assigned supervision for a violation of Section
11        11-501   of  the  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  or  a  similar
12        provision of a local ordinance  or  any  similar  law  or
13        ordinance of another state; or
14             (3)  pleaded  guilty  to  or stipulated to the facts
15        supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
16        of Section 11-503 of  the  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  or  a
17        similar provision of a local ordinance or any similar law
18        or   ordinance   of   another  state,  and  the  plea  or
19        stipulation was the result of a plea agreement.

21    authority with regard to the  standards  set  forth  in  this
22    Section.
23        (e)  The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a

26    years been:
