| 1 | | AN ACT concerning criminal law.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by |
| 5 | | changing Section 6-3 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (720 ILCS 5/6-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 6-3) |
| 7 | | Sec. 6-3. Intoxicated or drugged condition. |
| 8 | | (a) A person who is in an intoxicated or drugged condition |
| 9 | | is criminally responsible for conduct unless such condition is |
| 10 | | involuntarily produced and deprives him of substantial |
| 11 | | capacity either to appreciate the criminality of his conduct |
| 12 | | or to conform his conduct to the requirements of law. |
| 13 | | (b) Evidence of a defendant's voluntary intoxication is |
| 14 | | not admissible for the purpose of negating the defendant's |
| 15 | | mental state, nor shall any such argument to the trier of fact |
| 16 | | be permitted. However, evidence of a defendant's voluntary |
| 17 | | intoxication is admissible for any other relevant purpose. If |
| 18 | | evidence of the defendant's intoxication, either voluntary or |
| 19 | | involuntary, is admitted, the trier of fact shall be |
| 20 | | instructed that voluntary intoxication is not a defense to the |
| 21 | | crime charged. |
