    sentence; except nothing in this paragraph shall be 
    construed to permit the Director to extend an inmate's 
    sentence beyond that which was imposed by the court. Prior

    shall make a written determination that the inmate:
            (A) is eligible for good conduct credit for 
        meritorious service;
            (B) has served a minimum of 60 days, or as close to 
        60 days as the sentence will allow; and
            (C) has met the eligibility criteria established 
        by rule.
        The Director shall determine the form and content of 
    the written determination required in this subsection.

        (4) The rules and regulations shall also provide that 
    the good conduct
credit accumulated and retained under 
    paragraph (2.1) of subsection (a) of
this Section by any 
    inmate during specific periods of time in which such
inmate 
    is engaged full-time in substance abuse programs, 
    correctional
industry assignments, or educational programs 
    provided by the Department
under this paragraph (4) and 
    satisfactorily completes the assigned program as

    determined by the standards of the Department, shall be 
    multiplied by a factor
of 1.25 for program participation 
    before August 11, 1993
and 1.50 for program participation 
    on or after that date.
However, no inmate shall be eligible 
    for the additional good conduct credit
under this paragraph 
    (4) or (4.1) of this subsection (a) while assigned to a 
    boot camp
or electronic detention, or if convicted of an 
    offense enumerated in
subdivision (a)(2)(i), (ii), or 
    (iii) of this Section that is committed on or after June 
    19,
1998 or subdivision (a)(2)(iv) of this Section that is 
    committed on or after June 23, 2005 (the effective date of 
    Public Act 94-71) or subdivision (a)(2)(v) of this Section 
    that is committed on or after August 13, 2007 (the 
    effective date of Public Act 95-134)
 or subdivision 
    (a)(2)(vi) when the offense is committed on or after June 
    1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-625) or 
    subdivision (a)(2)(vii) when the offense is committed on or 
    after July 23, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act 
    96-1224), or if convicted of aggravated driving under the 
    influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or
intoxicating 
    compound or compounds or any combination thereof as defined 
    in
subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of 
    Section 11-501 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, or  if 
    convicted of aggravated driving under the influence of 
    alcohol,
other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or 
    compounds or any combination
thereof as defined in 
    subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of

    Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed on or 
    after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act 
    96-1230), or if convicted of an offense enumerated in 
    paragraph
(a)(2.4) of this Section that is committed on or 
    after
July 15, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act 
    91-121),
or first degree murder, a Class X felony, criminal 
    sexual
assault, felony criminal sexual abuse, aggravated 
    criminal sexual abuse,
aggravated battery with a firearm as 
    described in Section 12-4.2 or subdivision (e)(1), (e)(2), 
    (e)(3), or (e)(4) of Section 12-3.05, or any predecessor or 
    successor offenses
with the same or substantially the same 
    elements, or any inchoate offenses
relating to the 
    foregoing offenses.  No inmate shall be eligible for the

    additional good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) who 
    (i) has previously
received increased good conduct credit 
    under this paragraph (4) and has
subsequently been 
    convicted of a
felony, or (ii) has previously served more 
    than one prior sentence of
imprisonment for a felony in an 
    adult correctional facility.


        Educational, vocational, substance abuse and 
    correctional
industry programs under which good conduct 
    credit may be increased under
this paragraph (4) and 
    paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a) shall be evaluated 
    by the Department on the basis of
documented standards.  The 
    Department shall report the results of these
evaluations to 
    the Governor and the General Assembly by September 30th of 
    each
year.  The reports shall include data relating to the 
    recidivism rate among
program participants.


        Availability of these programs shall be subject to the

    limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General 
    Assembly for these
purposes.  Eligible inmates who are 
    denied immediate admission shall be
placed on a waiting 
    list under criteria established by the Department.
The 
    inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such 
    programs
by reason of insufficient program resources or for 
    any other reason
established under the rules and 
    regulations of the Department shall not be
deemed a cause 
    of action under which the Department or any employee or

    agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the 
    inmate.

        (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that 
    an additional 60 days of good conduct credit shall be 
    awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level 
    Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the 
    prisoner is incarcerated.   The good conduct credit awarded 
    under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and 
    shall not affect, the award of good conduct under any other 
    paragraph of this Section, but shall also be pursuant to 
    the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) 
    of subsection (a) of this Section.
The good conduct credit 
    provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to 
    those prisoners who have not previously earned a high 
    school diploma or a GED.  If, after an award of the GED good 
    conduct credit has been made and the Department determines 
    that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be 
    revoked.


        (4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall 
    also provide that
when the court's sentencing order 
    recommends a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the

    crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the 
    effective date of
Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall 
    receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of 
    this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and

    completes a substance abuse treatment program.  The 
    Director may waive the requirement to participate in or 
    complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the 
    good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner 
    is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment 
    program for medical, programming, or operational reasons. 
    Availability of
substance abuse treatment shall be subject 
    to the limits of fiscal resources
appropriated by the 
    General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not

    available and the requirement to participate and complete 
    the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the 
    prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria

    established by the Department. The Director may allow a 
    prisoner placed on
a waiting list to participate in and 
    complete a substance abuse education class or attend 
    substance
abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance 
    abuse treatment program.  A prisoner on a waiting list who 
    is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release 
    may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct 
    credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the 
    discretion of the Director.

        (4.6) The rules and regulations on early release shall 
    also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a 
    sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender 
    Registration Act shall receive no good conduct credit 
    unless he or she either has successfully completed or is 
    participating in sex offender treatment as defined by the 
    Sex Offender Management Board.  However, prisoners who are 
    waiting to receive such treatment, but who are unable to do 
    so due solely to the lack of resources on the part of the 
    Department, may, at the Director's sole discretion, be 
    awarded good conduct credit at such rate as the Director 
    shall determine.

        (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate 
    earlier than it
otherwise would because of a grant of good 
    conduct credit for meritorious
service given at any time 
    during the term, the Department shall give
reasonable 
    notice of the impending release not less than 14 days prior 
    to the date of the release to the State's
Attorney of the 
    county where the prosecution of the inmate took place, and 
    if applicable, the State's Attorney of the county into 
    which the inmate will be released. The Department must also 
    make identification information and a recent photo of the 
    inmate being released accessible on the Internet by means 
    of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate 
    Early Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage.

  
    The identification information shall include the inmate's: 
    name, any known alias, date of birth, physical 
    characteristics, residence address, commitment offense and 
    county where conviction was imposed. The identification 
    information shall be placed on the website within 3 days of 
    the inmate's release and the information may not be removed 
    until either: completion of the first year of mandatory 
    supervised release or return of the inmate to custody of 
    the Department.

    (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under

several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences

shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and

forfeiting of good time.

    (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations

for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing
the 
rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific
rule 
violations, during imprisonment.  These rules and regulations

shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one

year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.

    When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce
the 
rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for
an alleged 
infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
therefor 
against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
good conduct 
credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in 
subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this
Code, if the 
amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or
when during any 12 
month period, the cumulative amount of
credit revoked exceeds 
30 days except where the infraction is committed
or discovered 
within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases,
the 
Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good 
conduct credit.
The Board may subsequently approve the 
revocation of additional good
conduct credit, if the Department 
seeks to revoke good conduct credit in
excess of 30 days.  
However, the Board shall not be empowered to review the

Department's decision with respect to the loss of 30 days of 
good conduct
credit within any calendar year for any prisoner 
or to increase any penalty
beyond the length requested by the 
Department.

    The Director of the Department of Corrections, in 
appropriate cases, may
restore up to 30 days good conduct 
credits which have been revoked, suspended
or reduced. Any 
restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days shall

be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the 
Board may not
restore good conduct credit in excess of the 
amount requested by the Director.

    Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the 
Prisoner Review Board
from ordering, pursuant to Section 
3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up
to one year of the 
sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the

accumulation of good conduct credit.

    (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or 
federal court
against the State, the Department of Corrections, 
or the Prisoner Review Board,
or against any of
their officers 
or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a

pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is 
frivolous, the
Department of Corrections shall conduct a 
hearing to revoke up to
180 days of good conduct credit by 
bringing charges against the prisoner
sought to be deprived of 
the good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review
Board as 
provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.

If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of good conduct 
credit at the
time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review 
Board may revoke all
good conduct credit accumulated by the 
prisoner.

    For purposes of this subsection (d):


        (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other 
    filing which
purports to be a legal document filed by a 
    prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets
any or all of the 
    following criteria:


            (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in
