2 changing Section 5-4-2.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
6 changing Section 5-4-2 as follows:
7 (730 ILCS 5/5-4-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-4-2)
8 Sec. 5-4-2. Multiple Offenses.
9 (a) After conviction and before sentencing, the
10 defendant shall be permitted, subject to the approval of the
11 State's Attorney, to plead guilty to other offenses he or she
12 has committed which are within the same county. If the
13 defendant is not formally charged with such offenses, an
14 information shall be filed on the basis of the defendant's
15 admission of guilt. Submission of such a plea shall
16 constitute a waiver of all objections which the defendant
17 might otherwise have to the charge. If such a plea is
18 tendered and accepted, the court shall sentence the defendant
19 for all offenses in one hearing under Section 5-8-4.
20 (b) A defendant convicted, charged, or held in custody
21 in a county other than that in which any other charge is
22 pending against him may state in writing or in court that he
23 desires to plead guilty, to waive trial in the county in
24 which the charge is pending and to consent to disposition of
25 the case in the county in which he is held, convicted or
26 charged, subject to the approval of the state's attorney for
27 each county. Upon receiving notification from the sentencing
28 court, the clerk of the court in which the charge is pending
29 shall transmit the papers in the proceeding or certified
30 copies thereof to the clerk of the court in which the
31 defendant desires to plead guilty. Thereafter, the
-2- LRB9010298RCks
1 prosecution shall continue in that county. If after the
2 proceeding has been transferred, the defendant pleads not
3 guilty, the proceeding shall be restored to the docket of the
4 court where the charge was pending.
