1 AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1511
2 AMENDMENT NO. . Amend House Bill 1511 by replacing
3 the title with the following:
4 "AN ACT in relation to criminal sentencing."; and
5 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
6 following:
7 "Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
8 amended by changing Section 111-3 as follows:
9 (725 ILCS 5/111-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 111-3)
10 Sec. 111-3. Form of charge. (a) A charge shall be in
11 writing and allege the commission of an offense by:
12 (1) Stating the name of the offense;
13 (2) Citing the statutory provision alleged to have been
14 violated;
15 (3) Setting forth the nature and elements of the offense
16 charged;
17 (4) Stating the date and county of the offense as
18 definitely as can be done; and
19 (5) Stating the name of the accused, if known, and if
20 not known, designate the accused by any name or description
21 by which he can be identified with reasonable certainty.
-2- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 (b) An indictment shall be signed by the foreman of the
2 Grand Jury and an information shall be signed by the State's
3 Attorney and sworn to by him or another. A complaint shall be
4 sworn to and signed by the complainant; Provided, however,
5 that when a citation is issued on a Uniform Traffic Ticket or
6 Uniform Conservation Ticket (in a form prescribed by the
7 Conference of Chief Circuit Judges and filed with the Supreme
8 Court), the copy of such Uniform Ticket which is filed with
9 the circuit court constitutes a complaint to which the
10 defendant may plead, unless he specifically requests that a
11 verified complaint be filed.
12 (c) When the State seeks an enhanced sentence because of
13 a prior conviction, the charge shall also state the intention
14 to seek an enhanced sentence and shall state such prior
15 conviction so as to give notice to the defendant. However,
16 the fact of such prior conviction and the State's intention
17 to seek an enhanced sentence are not elements of the offense
18 and may not be disclosed to the jury during trial unless
19 otherwise permitted by issues properly raised during such
20 trial. For the purposes of this Section, "enhanced sentence"
21 means a sentence which is increased by a prior conviction
22 from one classification of offense to another higher level
23 classification of offense set forth in Section 5-5-1 of the
24 "Unified Code of Corrections", approved July 26, 1972, as
25 amended; it does not include an increase in the sentence
26 applied within the same level of classification of offense.
27 (c-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in all
28 cases in which the imposition of the death penalty is not a
29 possibility, if an alleged fact (other than the fact of a
30 prior conviction) is not an element of an offense but is
31 sought to be used to increase the range of penalties for the
32 offense beyond the statutory maximum that could otherwise be
33 imposed for the offense, the alleged fact must be included in
34 the charging instrument or otherwise provided to the
-3- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 defendant through a written notification before trial,
2 submitted to a trier of fact as an aggravating factor, and
3 proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Failure to prove the fact
4 beyond a reasonable doubt is not a bar to a conviction for
5 commission of the offense, but is a bar to increasing, based
6 on that fact, the range of penalties for the offense beyond
7 the statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for
8 that offense. Nothing in this subsection (c-5) requires the
9 imposition of a sentence that increases the range of
10 penalties for the offense beyond the statutory maximum that
11 could otherwise be imposed for the offense if the imposition
12 of that sentence is not required by law.
13 (d) At any time prior to trial, the State on motion
14 shall be permitted to amend the charge, whether brought by
15 indictment, information or complaint, to make the charge
16 comply with subsection (c) or (c-5) of this Section. Nothing
17 in Section 103-5 of this Code precludes such an amendment.
18 (e) The provisions of Article 33B of the Criminal Code
19 of 1961, as amended, shall not be affected by this Section.
20 (Source: P.A. 86-964.)
21 Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended
22 by changing Sections 5-5-3, 5-5-4, 5-8-1, and 5-8-2 as
23 follows:
24 (730 ILCS 5/5-5-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-3)
25 Sec. 5-5-3. Disposition.
26 (a) Every person convicted of an offense shall be

14 Whenever an individual is sentenced for an offense based
15 upon an arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
16 Illinois Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local
17 ordinance, and the professional evaluation recommends
18 remedial or rehabilitative treatment or education, neither
19 the treatment nor the education shall be the sole disposition
20 and either or both may be imposed only in conjunction with
21 another disposition. The court shall monitor compliance with
22 any remedial education or treatment recommendations contained
23 in the professional evaluation. Programs conducting alcohol
24 or other drug evaluation or remedial education must be
25 licensed by the Department of Human Services. However, if
26 the individual is not a resident of Illinois, the court may
27 accept an alcohol or other drug evaluation or remedial
28 education program in the state of such individual's
29 residence. Programs providing treatment must be licensed
30 under existing applicable alcoholism and drug treatment
31 licensure standards.
32 In addition to any other fine or penalty required by law,
33 any individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-501 of
34 the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of local
-5- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 ordinance, whose operation of a motor vehicle while in
2 violation of Section 11-501 or such ordinance proximately
3 caused an incident resulting in an appropriate emergency
4 response, shall be required to make restitution to a public
5 agency for the costs of that emergency response. Such
6 restitution shall not exceed $500 per public agency for each
7 such emergency response. For the purpose of this paragraph,
8 emergency response shall mean any incident requiring a
9 response by: a police officer as defined under Section 1-162
10 of the Illinois Vehicle Code; a fireman carried on the rolls
11 of a regularly constituted fire department; and an ambulance
12 as defined under Section 4.05 of the Emergency Medical
13 Services (EMS) Systems Act.
14 Neither a fine nor restitution shall be the sole
15 disposition for a felony and either or both may be imposed
16 only in conjunction with another disposition.
17 (c) (1) When a defendant is found guilty of first degree
18 murder the State may either seek a sentence of
19 imprisonment under Section 5-8-1 of this Code, or where
20 appropriate seek a sentence of death under Section 9-1 of
21 the Criminal Code of 1961.
22 (2) A period of probation, a term of periodic
23 imprisonment or conditional discharge shall not be
24 imposed for the following offenses. The court shall
25 sentence the offender to not less than the minimum term
26 of imprisonment set forth in this Code for the following
27 offenses, and may order a fine or restitution or both in
28 conjunction with such term of imprisonment:
29 (A) First degree murder where the death

3 containing cocaine or an analog thereof.

5 Cannabis Control Act.
6 (F) A Class 2 or greater felony if the
7 offender had been convicted of a Class 2 or greater

10 is being sentenced, except as otherwise provided in
11 Section 40-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse

14 provided in Section 40-10 of the Alcoholism and

2 Code.

10 (6) In no case shall an offender be eligible for a
11 disposition of probation or conditional discharge for a
12 Class 1 felony committed while he was serving a term of
13 probation or conditional discharge for a felony.

15 criminal under Article 33B of the Criminal Code of 1961,
16 the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
17 natural life imprisonment.
18 (8) When a defendant, over the age of 21 years, is

20 twice been convicted of any Class 2 or greater Class
21 felonies in Illinois, and such charges are separately
22 brought and tried and arise out of different series of

2 the Unified Code of Corrections which may include evidence of
3 the defendant's life, moral character and occupation during
4 the time since the original sentence was passed. The trial
5 court shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The
6 trial court may impose any sentence which could have been
7 imposed at the original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the
8 Unified Code of Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on
9 appeal or on collateral attack due to the failure of the
10 trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt
11 the existence of a fact (other than a prior conviction)
12 necessary to increase the punishment for the offense beyond
13 the statutory maximum otherwise applicable, either the
14 defendant may be re-sentenced to a term within the range
15 otherwise provided or, if the State files notice of its
16 intention to again seek the extended sentence, the defendant
17 shall be afforded a new trial.
18 (e) In cases where prosecution for criminal sexual
19 assault or aggravated criminal sexual abuse under Section
20 12-13 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 results in
21 conviction of a defendant who was a family member of the
22 victim at the time of the commission of the offense, the
23 court shall consider the safety and welfare of the victim and
24 may impose a sentence of probation only where:
25 (1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are
26 appropriate:
27 (A) the defendant is willing to undergo a
28 court approved counseling program for a minimum
29 duration of 2 years; or
30 (B) the defendant is willing to participate in
31 a court approved plan including but not limited to
32 the defendant's:

34 (ii) restricted contact with the victim;
-10- LRB9104882WHcsam

8 victim's counseling services, to the extent that the
9 court finds, after considering the defendant's income and
10 assets, that the defendant is financially capable of
11 paying for such services, if the victim was under 18
12 years of age at the time the offense was committed and
13 requires counseling as a result of the offense.
14 Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
15 5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
16 the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation
17 restricting contact with the victim or other family members
18 or commits another offense with the victim or other family
19 members, the court shall revoke the defendant's probation and
20 impose a term of imprisonment.
21 For the purposes of this Section, "family member" and
22 "victim" shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section
23 12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
24 (f) This Article shall not deprive a court in other
25 proceedings to order a forfeiture of property, to suspend or
26 cancel a license, to remove a person from office, or to
27 impose any other civil penalty.
28 (g) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense
29 under Sections 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1, 11-16, 11-17, 11-18,
30 11-18.1, 11-19, 11-19.1, 11-19.2, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1,
31 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, the defendant
32 shall undergo medical testing to determine whether the
33 defendant has any sexually transmissible disease, including a
34 test for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
-11- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 any other identified causative agent of acquired
2 immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any such medical test
3 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
4 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
5 fluids as well as an examination of the defendant's person.
6 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
7 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
8 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
9 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
10 conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
11 Acting in accordance with the best interests of the victim
12 and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
13 determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the testing may
14 be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant of the test
15 results. The court shall also notify the victim if requested
16 by the victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and
17 if requested by the victim's parents or legal guardian, the
18 court shall notify the victim's parents or legal guardian of
19 the test results. The court shall provide information on the
20 availability of HIV testing and counseling at Department of
21 Public Health facilities to all parties to whom the results
22 of the testing are revealed and shall direct the State's
23 Attorney to provide the information to the victim when
24 possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to obtain
25 the results of any HIV test administered under this Section,
26 and the court shall grant the disclosure if the State's
27 Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a charge
28 of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the
29 Criminal Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall
30 order that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the
31 county and may be taxed as costs against the convicted
32 defendant.
33 (g-5) When an inmate is tested for an airborne
34 communicable disease, as determined by the Illinois
-12- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 Department of Public Health including but not limited to
2 tuberculosis, the results of the test shall be personally
3 delivered by the warden or his or her designee in a sealed
4 envelope to the judge of the court in which the inmate must
5 appear for the judge's inspection in camera if requested by
6 the judge. Acting in accordance with the best interests of
7 those in the courtroom, the judge shall have the discretion
8 to determine what if any precautions need to be taken to
9 prevent transmission of the disease in the courtroom.
10 (h) Whenever a defendant is convicted of an offense
11 under Section 1 or 2 of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles
12 Act, the defendant shall undergo medical testing to determine
13 whether the defendant has been exposed to human
14 immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any other identified
15 causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
16 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of such test
17 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
18 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
19 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
20 conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.
21 Acting in accordance with the best interests of the public,
22 the judge shall have the discretion to determine to whom, if
23 anyone, the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
24 shall notify the defendant of a positive test showing an
25 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
26 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
27 testing and counseling at Department of Public Health
28 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
29 are revealed and shall direct the State's Attorney to provide
30 the information to the victim when possible. A State's
31 Attorney may petition the court to obtain the results of any
32 HIV test administered under this Section, and the court
33 shall grant the disclosure if the State's Attorney shows it
34 is relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
-13- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal
2 Code of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order
3 that the cost of any such test shall be paid by the county
4 and may be taxed as costs against the convicted defendant.
5 (i) All fines and penalties imposed under this Section
6 for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois
7 Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
8 and any violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
9 similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected
10 and disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section
11 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
12 (j) In cases when prosecution for any violation of
13 Section 11-6, 11-8, 11-9, 11-11, 11-14, 11-15, 11-15.1,
14 11-16, 11-17, 11-17.1, 11-18, 11-18.1, 11-19, 11-19.1,
15 11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-21, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, or
16 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, any violation of the
17 Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or any violation of the
18 Cannabis Control Act results in conviction, a disposition of
19 court supervision, or an order of probation granted under
20 Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the
21 Illinois Controlled Substance Act of a defendant, the court
22 shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a
23 facility or center as defined under the Child Care Act of
24 1969, a public or private elementary or secondary school, or
25 otherwise works with children under 18 years of age on a
26 daily basis. When a defendant is so employed, the court
27 shall order the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of the
28 judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
29 to the defendant's employer by certified mail. If the
30 employer of the defendant is a school, the Clerk of the Court
31 shall direct the mailing of a copy of the judgment of
32 conviction or order of supervision or probation to the
33 appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The regional
34 superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board of
-14- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 Education of any notification under this subsection.
2 (j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is
3 convicted of a felony and who has not been previously
4 convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to
5 a term of imprisonment in the Illinois Department of
6 Corrections shall as a condition of his or her sentence be
7 required by the court to attend educational courses designed
8 to prepare the defendant for a high school diploma and to
9 work toward a high school diploma or to work toward passing
10 the high school level Test of General Educational Development
11 (GED) or to work toward completing a vocational training
12 program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
13 defendant fails to complete the educational training required
14 by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
15 Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
16 supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
17 expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
18 diploma or passage of the GED test. The Prisoner Review
19 Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised release of a
20 defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this subsection
21 (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a penal
22 institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
23 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
24 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
25 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
26 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the
27 defendant whose mandatory supervised release term has been
28 revoked under this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section
29 3-3-9. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
30 who has a high school diploma or has successfully passed the
31 GED test. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant
32 who is determined by the court to be developmentally disabled
33 or otherwise mentally incapable of completing the educational
34 or vocational program.
-15- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 (k) A court may not impose a sentence or disposition for
2 a felony or misdemeanor that requires the defendant to be
3 implanted or injected with or to use any form of birth
4 control.
5 (l) (A) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of
6 subsection (l), whenever a defendant, who is an alien as
7 defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act, is
8 convicted of any felony or misdemeanor offense, the court
9 after sentencing the defendant may, upon motion of the
10 State's Attorney, hold sentence in abeyance and remand
11 the defendant to the custody of the Attorney General of
12 the United States or his or her designated agent to be
13 deported when:
14 (1) a final order of deportation has been
15 issued against the defendant pursuant to proceedings
16 under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and
17 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
18 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct
19 and would not be inconsistent with the ends of
20 justice.
21 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as
22 provided in this Chapter V.
23 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for
24 a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on
25 probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act or
26 Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
27 the court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to
28 suspend the sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the
29 custody of the Attorney General of the United States or

29 Where a conviction or sentence has been set aside on

31 impose a new sentence for the same offense or for a different
32 offense based on the same conduct which is more severe than

2 upon conduct on the part of the defendant occurring after the
3 original sentencing. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
4 collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
5 trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of
6 a fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase
7 the punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
8 otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be
9 re-sentenced to a term within the range otherwise provided
10 or, if the State files notice of its intention to again seek
11 the extended sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new
12 trial.

6 for a crime in Illinois, must return to serve the unexpired
7 prior sentence may have his sentence by the Illinois court
8 ordered to be concurrent with the prior sentence in the other
9 state. The court may order that any time served on the
10 unexpired portion of the sentence in the other state, prior
11 to his return to Illinois, shall be credited on his Illinois
12 sentence. The other state shall be furnished with a copy of
13 the order imposing sentence which shall provide that, when
14 the offender is released from confinement of the other state,
15 whether by parole or by termination of sentence, the offender
16 shall be transferred by the Sheriff of the committing county
17 to the Illinois Department of Corrections. The court shall

26 imprisonment imposed by the other state or district court of
27 the United States, and must return to serve the unexpired
28 prior sentence imposed by the Illinois Circuit Court may
29 apply to the court which imposed sentence to have his
30 sentence reduced.
31 The circuit court may order that any time served on the
32 sentence imposed by the other state or district court of the
33 United States be credited on his Illinois sentence. Such
34 application for reduction of a sentence under this
-24- LRB9104882WHcsam
1 subsection (f) shall be made within 30 days after the
2 defendant has completed the sentence imposed by the other
3 state or district court of the United States.

11 convicted unless the factors in aggravation set forth in

28 (b) If the conviction was by plea, it shall appear on
29 the record that the plea was entered with the defendant's

32 defendant shall not be subject to such a sentence unless he
33 is first given an opportunity to withdraw his plea without
