 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
 
SB387 Enrolled              -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: (i) a 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;  and  Section  1  of  the
19    Boarding Aircraft With Weapon Act; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor
20    violation of Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care
21    for  Animals  Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not
22    barred from receiving an order for supervision as provided in
23    this subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision
24    after considering the circumstances of the offense,  and  the
25    history,  character  and  condition  of  the offender, if the
26    court is of the opinion that:
27             (1)  the offender is not likely  to  commit  further
28        crimes;
29             (2)  the  defendant  and  the  public  would be best
30        served if the defendant were not to  receive  a  criminal
31        record; and
32             (3)  in  the  best  interests of justice an order of
33        supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
34        permitted under this Code.
