Last Action
Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that the conditions of Second Chance Probation that the defendant: (1) make full restitution to the victim or property owner; (2) obtain or attempt to obtain employment; (3) pay fines and costs; (4) attend educational courses designed to prepare the defendant for obtaining a high school diploma or to work toward passing high school equivalency testing or to work toward completing a vocational training program; and (5) perform community service are discretionary conditions of the probation (rather than mandatory conditions). Eliminates the provision that the defendant submit to periodic drug testing at a time and in a manner as ordered by the court, but no less than 3 times during the period of probation, with the cost of the testing to be paid by the defendant. Provides that the determination of the length of the First Time Weapon Offense Program, as determined by the court, shall be at the recommendation of the Program administrator and with the input from the State's Attorney and defense counsel (rather than determined by the court at the recommendation of the Program administrator and State's Attorney). Deletes provisions that the State's Attorney must consent to the defendant's sentencing to Second Chance Probation or to the First Time Weapon Offense Program.
