11    (720 ILCS 5/24-1.7 rep.)
12    Section 15. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
13repealing Section 24-1.7.
 
14    Section 20. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is

16    (725 ILCS 5/111-3)  (from Ch. 38, par. 111-3)
17    Sec. 111-3. Form of charge.
18    (a) A charge shall be in writing and allege the commission
19of an offense by:
20        (1) Stating the name of the offense;
21        (2) Citing the statutory provision alleged to have been
22    violated;
23        (3) Setting forth the nature and elements of the

 

 

HB2027- 22 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1    offense charged;
2        (4) Stating the date and county of the offense as
3    definitely as can be done; and
4        (5) Stating the name of the accused, if known, and if
5    not known, designate the accused by any name or description
6    by which he can be identified with reasonable certainty.
7    (a-5) If the victim is alleged to have been subjected to an
8offense involving an illegal sexual act including, but not
9limited to, a sexual offense defined in Article 11 or Section
1010-9 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the charge shall state the
11identity of the victim by name, initials, or description.
12    (b) An indictment shall be signed by the foreman of the
13Grand Jury and an information shall be signed by the State's
14Attorney and sworn to by him or another. A complaint shall be
15sworn to and signed by the complainant; provided, that when a
16peace officer observes the commission of a misdemeanor and is
17the complaining witness, the signing of the complaint by the
18peace officer is sufficient to charge the defendant with the
19commission of the offense, and the complaint need not be sworn
20to if the officer signing the complaint certifies that the
21statements set forth in the complaint are true and correct and
22are subject to the penalties provided by law for false
23certification under Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil
24Procedure and perjury under Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code
25of 2012; and further provided, however, that when a citation is
26issued on a Uniform Traffic Ticket or Uniform Conservation

 

 

HB2027- 23 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1Ticket (in a form prescribed by the Conference of Chief Circuit
2Judges and filed with the Supreme Court), the copy of such
3Uniform Ticket which is filed with the circuit court
4constitutes a complaint to which the defendant may plead,
5unless he specifically requests that a verified complaint be
6filed.
7    (c) When the State seeks an enhanced sentence because of a
8prior conviction, the charge shall also state the intention to
9seek an enhanced sentence and shall state such prior conviction
10so as to give notice to the defendant. However, the fact of
11such prior conviction and the State's intention to seek an
12enhanced sentence are not elements of the offense and may not
13be disclosed to the jury during trial unless otherwise
14permitted by issues properly raised during such trial. For the
15purposes of this Section, "enhanced sentence" means a sentence
16which is increased by a prior conviction from one
17classification of offense to another higher level
18classification of offense set forth in Section 5-4.5-10 of the
19Unified Code of Corrections (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-10); it does not
20include an increase in the sentence applied within the same
21level of classification of offense.
22    (c-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in all
23cases in which the imposition of the death penalty is not a
24possibility, if an alleged fact (other than the fact of a prior
25conviction) is not an element of an offense but is sought to be
26used to increase the range of penalties for the offense beyond

 

 

HB2027- 24 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1the statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for the
2offense, the alleged fact must be included in the charging
3instrument or otherwise provided to the defendant through a
4written notification before trial, submitted to a trier of fact
5as an aggravating factor, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
6Failure to prove the fact beyond a reasonable doubt is not a
7bar to a conviction for commission of the offense, but is a bar
8to increasing, based on that fact, the range of penalties for
9the offense beyond the statutory maximum that could otherwise
10be imposed for that offense. Nothing in this subsection (c-5)
11requires the imposition of a sentence that increases the range
12of penalties for the offense beyond the statutory maximum that
13could otherwise be imposed for the offense if the imposition of
14that sentence is not required by law.
15    (d) At any time prior to trial, the State on motion shall
16be permitted to amend the charge, whether brought by
17indictment, information or complaint, to make the charge comply
18with subsection (c) or (c-5) of this Section. Nothing in
19Section 103-5 of this Code precludes such an amendment or a
20written notification made in accordance with subsection (c-5)
21of this Section.
22    (e) The provisions of subsection (a) of Section 5-4.5-95 of
23the Unified Code of Corrections (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-95) before
24its repeal on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
25101st General Assembly shall not be affected by this Section.

11    program shall require the pupillometer technology to be
12    used in at least one Department of Corrections facility.

14    additional facility or facilities as he or she deems
15    appropriate. A minimum of 4,000 tests shall be included in

18    shall be for a term of not less than the time needed to
19    retire any revenue bonds used to finance the project, but
20    not to exceed 40 years. The lease may grant to the State

1for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied immediate
2admission shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
3established by the Department. The inability of any inmate to
4become engaged in any such programs by reason of insufficient
5program resources or for any other reason established under the
6rules and regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a
7cause of action under which the Department or any employee or

9inmate.
10    (4.1) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this
11subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall also provide

26shall be revoked. The Department may also award 90 days of

 

 

HB2027- 51 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1sentence credit to any committed person who passed high school
2equivalency testing while he or she was held in pre-trial

4Corrections.
5    (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
6also provide that when the court's sentencing order recommends
7a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was
8committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
9Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
10credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
11he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
12treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to
13participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program
14in specific instances if the prisoner is not a good candidate
15for a substance abuse treatment program for medical,
16programming, or operational reasons. Availability of substance
17abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of fiscal
18resources appropriated by the General Assembly for these
19purposes. If treatment is not available and the requirement to
20participate and complete the treatment has not been waived by
21the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list
22under criteria established by the Department. The Director may
23allow a prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
24complete a substance abuse education class or attend substance
25abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance abuse treatment
26program. A prisoner on a waiting list who is not placed in a

 

 

HB2027- 52 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1substance abuse program prior to release may be eligible for a
2waiver and receive sentence credit under clause (3) of this
3subsection (a) at the discretion of the Director.
4    (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
5also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex
6offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
7Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or
8she either has successfully completed or is participating in
9sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender
10Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to receive
11treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to the lack
12of resources on the part of the Department, may, at the
13Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at a
14rate as the Director shall determine.

10Section given at any time during the term, the Department shall
11give reasonable notice of the impending release not less than
1214 days prior to the date of the release to the State's
13Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate took

5forfeiting of sentence credit.
6    (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
7for revoking sentence credit, including revoking sentence
8credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
9Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
10for suspending or reducing the rate of accumulation of sentence
11credit for specific rule violations, during imprisonment.
12These rules and regulations shall provide that no inmate may be
13penalized more than one year of sentence credit for any one
14infraction.
15    When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
16rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an alleged
17infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges therefor
18against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of sentence
19credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided in
20subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
21amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
22month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
2330 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
24within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
25Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence
26credit. The Board may subsequently approve the revocation of

 

 

HB2027- 55 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b

1additional sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke
2sentence credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall
3not be empowered to review the Department's decision with

8appropriate cases, may restore up to 30 days of sentence
9credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced. Any
10restoration of sentence credits in excess of 30 days shall be
11subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the
12Board may not restore sentence credit in excess of the amount
13requested by the Director.
14    Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
15Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
163-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
17sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
18accumulation of sentence credit.
19    (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
20federal court against the State, the Department of Corrections,
21or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of their officers
22or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
23pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is
24frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a
25hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit by bringing
26charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived of the

1sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided
2in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code. If the

19        modification, or reversal of existing law or the
20        establishment of new law;
21            (D) the allegations and other factual contentions
22        do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
23        identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support
24        after a reasonable opportunity for further
25        investigation or discovery; or
26            (E) the denials of factual contentions are not

 

 

HB2027- 57 -LRB101 04567 SLF 49575 b
