 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 1.  Findings; purpose.
 5        (a)  The General Assembly finds and declares that:
 6             (1)  Public Act  89-688,  effective  June  1,  1997,
 7        contained   provisions   amending  Sections  31A-1.1  and
 8        31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to bringing
 9        contraband   into   a   penal   institution;   possessing
10        contraband  in  a  penal  institution;  and  unauthorized
11        bringing of contraband into a  penal  institution  by  an
12        employee.  Public  Act  89-688, also contained provisions
13        amending Section 3-8-7 of the Unified Code of Corrections
14        relating to  disciplinary  procedures  at  Department  of
15        Corrections  facilities. Public Act 89-688 also contained
16        other provisions.
17             (2)  On October 20, 2000, in  People  v.  Jerry  Lee
18        Foster,  316  Ill.  App.  3d  855, the Illinois Appellate
19        Court, Fourth District,  ruled  that  Public  Act  89-688
20        violates  the  single  subject  clause  of  the  Illinois
21        Constitution (Article IV, Section 8 (d)) and is therefore
22        unconstitutional in its entirety.
23             (3)  The  provisions  added  to Sections 31A-1.1 and
24        31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and to Section 3-8-7
25        of the Unified Code of Corrections by Public  Act  89-688
26        are  of vital concern to the people of this State. Prompt
27        legislative  action  concerning   those   provisions   is
28        necessary.
29             (4)  Section  31A-1.2  of  the Criminal Code of 1961
30        has subsequently been amended by Public Acts  90-655  and
31        91-357.
32        (b)  It  is  the purpose of this Act to re-enact Sections
 
                            -2-      LRB093 09206 RLC 09438 b
 1    31A-1.1 and 31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of  1961,  including
 2    the  provisions  added  by  Public  Act 89-688 and subsequent
 3    amendments to Section  31A-1.2  by  Public  Acts  90-655  and
 4    91-357.  This re-enactment is intended to remove any question
 5    as to the validity or content of those provisions; it is  not
 6    intended  to  supersede  any other Public Act that amends the
 7    text of the Sections as set forth in this Act. The re-enacted
 8    material is shown in this Act as existing text (i.e., without
 9    underscoring).
10        (c)  It is also the  purpose  of  this  Act  to  re-enact
11    Section  3-8-7  of the Unified Code of Corrections, including
12    the provisions added and deleted by Public Act  89-688.  This
13    re-enactment  is  intended  to  remove any question as to the
14    validity or content of those provisions; it is  not  intended
15    to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of the
16    Section  as set forth in this Act. The re-enacted material is
17    shown  in  this  Act  as   existing   text   (i.e.,   without
18    underscoring).
