2also provide that when the court's sentencing order recommends
3a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was
4committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
5Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
6credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
7he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
8treatment program. The Director may waive the requirement to
9participate in or complete a substance abuse treatment program
10in specific instances if the prisoner is not a good candidate
11for a substance abuse treatment program for medical,
12programming, or operational reasons. Availability of substance
13abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of fiscal
14resources appropriated by the General Assembly for these
15purposes. If treatment is not available and the requirement to
16participate and complete the treatment has not been waived by
17the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list
18under criteria established by the Department. The Director may
19allow a prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
20complete a substance abuse education class or attend substance
21abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance abuse
22treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who is not
23placed in a substance abuse program prior to release may be
24eligible for a waiver and receive sentence credit under clause
25(3) of this subsection (a) at the discretion of the Director.

6Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to
7receive treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to
8the lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at
9the Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit at
10a rate as the Director shall determine.

4sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
5Section given at any time during the term, the Department
6shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not less
7than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's
8Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate

5regulations establishing and requiring the use of a sanctions
6matrix for revoking sentence credit. The Department shall
7prescribe rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the
8rate of accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule
9violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
10shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
11year of sentence credit for any one infraction.
12    (2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or
13reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an
14alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges

16sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided

20out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the
21cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except
22where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days

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
21Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
22their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
23finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the
24prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall
25conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit
26by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived
