11 Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing Hearing.
12 (a) Except when the death penalty is sought under
13 hearing procedures otherwise specified, after a determination
14 of guilt, a hearing shall be held to impose the sentence.
15 However, prior to the imposition of sentence on an individual
16 being sentenced for an offense based upon a charge for a
17 violation of Section 11-501 of The Illinois Vehicle Code or a
18 similar provision of a local ordinance, the individual must
19 undergo a professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol
20 or other drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a
21 problem. Programs conducting these evaluations shall be
22 licensed by the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse.
23 However, if the individual is not a resident of Illinois, the
24 court may, in its discretion, accept an evaluation from a
25 program in the state of such individual's residence. The
26 court may in its sentencing order approve an eligible
27 defendant for placement in a Department of Corrections impact
28 incarceration program as provided in Section 5-8-1.1. At the
29 hearing the court shall:
30 (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon
31 the trial;
32 (2) consider any presentence reports;
33 (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
HB0163 Engrossed -7- LRB9001131RCks
1 based on the financial impact statement filed with the
2 clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
3 (4) consider evidence and information offered by
4 the parties in aggravation and mitigation;
5 (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
6 (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
7 statement in his own behalf;
8 (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
9 violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
10 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, committed by
11 the defendant the opportunity to make a statement
12 concerning the impact on the victim and to offer evidence
13 in aggravation or mitigation; provided that the statement
14 and evidence offered in aggravation or mitigation must
15 first be prepared in writing in conjunction with the
16 State's Attorney before it may be presented orally at the
17 hearing. Any sworn testimony offered by the victim is
18 subject to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All
19 statements and evidence offered under this paragraph (7)
20 shall become part of the record of the court; and
21 (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the
22 victim's spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate
23 family members an opportunity to make oral statements.
24 (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based
25 upon his independent assessment of the elements specified
26 above and any agreement as to sentence reached by the
27 parties. The judge who presided at the trial or the judge
28 who accepted the plea of guilty shall impose the sentence
29 unless he is no longer sitting as a judge in that court.
30 Where the judge does not impose sentence at the same time on
31 all defendants who are convicted as a result of being
32 involved in the same offense, the defendant or the State's
33 attorney may advise the sentencing court of the disposition
34 of any other defendants who have been sentenced.

1 (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
2 offense of operating or being in physical control of a
3 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug
4 or any combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
5 ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
6 to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall
7 specify on the record the particular evidence, information,
8 factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
9 led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
10 of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of
11 the court and shall be a public record.
12 (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of
13 aggravated kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed
14 robbery, aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge
15 of a firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
16 category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as
17 to whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
18 resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter
19 that finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
20 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other
21 than when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a
22 sentence of death is imposed, at the time the sentence is
23 imposed the judge shall state on the record in open court the
24 approximate period of time the defendant will serve in
25 custody according to the then current statutory rules and
26 regulations for early release found in Section 3-6-3 and
27 other related provisions of this Code. This statement is
28 intended solely to inform the public, has no legal effect on
29 the defendant's actual release, and may not be relied on by
30 the defendant on appeal.
31 The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
32 sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
33 the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,
34 shall include the following:
HB0163 Engrossed -9- LRB9001131RCks
1 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
2 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
3 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
4 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
5 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
6 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
7 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
8 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
9 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good
10 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
11 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply
12 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those
13 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer.
14 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day
15 good conduct credit for each day of participation in
16 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational
17 programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
18 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
19 enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, other than
20 when the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
21 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3 committed on
22 or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995,
23 the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
24 sentence, shall include the following:
25 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
26 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
27 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
28 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
29 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
30 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
31 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
32 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
33 years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good
34 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
HB0163 Engrossed -10- LRB9001131RCks
1 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply
2 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those
3 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer.
4 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day
5 good conduct credit for each day of participation in
6 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational
7 programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
8 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
9 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
10 first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or
11 after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995, the
12 judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
13 sentence, shall include the following:
14 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
15 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
16 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
17 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
18 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
19 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
20 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
21 good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of
22 imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
23 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives
24 4 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
25 period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
26 months. If the defendant, because of his or her own
27 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
28 regulations receives lesser credit, the actual time served in
29 prison will be longer."
30 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
31 degree murder and the offense was committed on or after the
32 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995, the judge's
33 statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
34 include the following:
HB0163 Engrossed -11- LRB9001131RCks
1 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
2 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
3 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
4 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
5 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
6 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
7 case, the defendant is not entitled to good conduct credit.
8 Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
9 sentence."
10 (c-3) When the court sentences a defendant who is
11 subject to the provisions of the Sexually Dangerous Persons
12 Act, it shall at the time of sentencing inform the defendant
13 that he or she: (1) is subject to the provisions of the
14 Sexually Dangerous Persons Act; (2) may be subject to
15 continued confinement after the completion of the sentence
16 for which he or she has been convicted if it is determined
17 that the defendant is a sexually dangerous person and poses a
18 risk of harm to other persons; and (3) may at his or her
19 request receive psychiatric treatment during his or her
20 incarceration as deemed appropriate by the Department of
21 Corrections following a psychiatric evaluation.
22 (d) When the defendant is committed to the Department of
23 Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the
24 defendant may file a statement with the clerk of the court to
25 be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to
26 which the defendant is committed to furnish such department,
27 agency or institution with the facts and circumstances of the
28 offense for which the person was committed together with all
29 other factual information accessible to them in regard to the
30 person prior to his commitment relative to his habits,

3 not be cause for delay in conveying the person to the
4 department, agency or institution to which he has been

6 (e) The clerk of the court shall transmit to the
7 department, agency or institution, if any, to which the
8 defendant is committed, the following:

7 that finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
8 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other
9 than when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a
10 sentence of death is imposed, at the time the sentence is
11 imposed the judge shall state on the record in open court the
12 approximate period of time the defendant will serve in
13 custody according to the then current statutory rules and
14 regulations for early release found in Section 3-6-3 and
15 other related provisions of this Code. This statement is
16 intended solely to inform the public, has no legal effect on
17 the defendant's actual release, and may not be relied on by
18 the defendant on appeal.
19 The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
20 sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
21 the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,
22 shall include the following:
23 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
24 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
25 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
26 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
27 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
28 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
29 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
30 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
31 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good
32 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
33 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply
34 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those
HB0163 Engrossed -16- LRB9001131RCks
1 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer.
2 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day
3 good conduct credit for each day of participation in
4 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational
5 programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
6 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
7 enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, other than
8 when the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
9 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3 committed on
10 or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995,
11 the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
12 sentence, shall include the following:
13 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
14 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
15 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
16 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
17 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
18 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
19 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
20 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
21 years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good
22 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
23 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply
24 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those
25 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer.
26 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day
27 good conduct credit for each day of participation in
28 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational
29 programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
30 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
31 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
32 first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or
33 after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995, the
34 judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
HB0163 Engrossed -17- LRB9001131RCks
1 sentence, shall include the following:
2 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
3 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
4 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
5 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
6 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
7 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
8 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
9 good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of
10 imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
11 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives
12 4 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
13 period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
14 months. If the defendant, because of his or her own
15 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
16 regulations receives lesser credit, the actual time served in
17 prison will be longer."
18 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
19 degree murder and the offense was committed on or after the
20 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995, the judge's
21 statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
22 include the following:
23 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
24 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend
25 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
26 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
27 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
28 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
29 case, the defendant is not entitled to good conduct credit.
30 Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
31 sentence."
32 (c-3) When the court sentences a defendant who is
33 subject to the provisions of the Sexually Dangerous Persons
34 Act, it shall at the time of sentencing inform the defendant
HB0163 Engrossed -18- LRB9001131RCks
1 that he or she: (1) is subject to the provisions of the
2 Sexually Dangerous Persons Act; (2) may be subject to

6 risk of harm to other persons; and (3) may at his or her
7 request receive psychiatric treatment during his or her
8 incarceration as deemed appropriate by the Department of
9 Corrections following a psychiatric evaluation.
10 (d) When the defendant is committed to the Department of
11 Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the

13 be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to

22 shall within 10 days after receiving any such statements
23 transmit a copy to such department, agency or institution and

29 department, agency or institution, if any, to which the
