A BILL FOR

 

SB2658 LRB093 20762 RLC 46659 b

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 Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
5 changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
 
6     (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
7     Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
8 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly
9 finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
10 system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
11 by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
12 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
13 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
14 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
15 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
16 supervision.
17     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
18 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
19 probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
20 having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
21 and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
22 the court is of the opinion that:
23         (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
24     necessary for the protection of the public; or
25         (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
26     the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
27     inconsistent with the ends of justice.
28     The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
29 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
30 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
31 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
32 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the

 

 

SB2658 - 2 - LRB093 20762 RLC 46659 b

1 sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
2 subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
3     (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
4 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
5 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
6 nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
7     (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
8 by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
9 finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
10 of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
11 defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
12 misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
13 Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5;
14 31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section 21-1;
15 paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection
16 (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of
17 Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals
18 Act; or (iii) felony. If the defendant is not barred from
19 receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
20 subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
21 considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
22 character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the
23 opinion that:
24         (1) the offender is not likely to commit further
25     crimes;
26         (2) the defendant and the public would be best served
27     if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
28         (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
29     supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
30     permitted under this Code.
31     (d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
32 defendant charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois
33 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance when
34 the defendant has previously been:
35         (1) convicted for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
36     Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local

1     ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of another state;
2     or
3         (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
4     11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
5     of a local ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of
6     another state; or
7         (3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts
8     supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
9     of Section 11-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
10     provision of a local ordinance or any similar law or
11     ordinance of another state, and the plea or stipulation was
12     the result of a plea agreement.
13     The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting

15 Section.
16     (e) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a

22         (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
23     16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
24     The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting
25 authority with regard to the standards set forth in this
26 Section.
27     (f) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
28 defendant charged with violating Sections 15-111, 15-112,
29 15-301, paragraph (b) of Section 6-104, Section 11-605, or
30 Section 11-1414 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
31 provision of a local ordinance.
32     (g) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (i) of this
33 Section, the provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
34 defendant charged with violating Section 3-707, 3-708, 3-710,

12 defendant under the age of 21 years charged with violating a
13 serious traffic offense as defined in Section 1-187.001 of the
14 Illinois Vehicle Code:
15         (1) unless the defendant, upon payment of the fines,
16     penalties, and costs provided by law, agrees to attend and
17     successfully complete a traffic safety program approved by
18     the court under standards set by the Conference of Chief
19     Circuit Judges. The accused shall be responsible for
20     payment of any traffic safety program fees. If the accused
21     fails to file a certificate of successful completion on or
22     before the termination date of the supervision order, the
23     supervision shall be summarily revoked and conviction
24     entered. The provisions of Supreme Court Rule 402 relating
25     to pleas of guilty do not apply in cases when a defendant
26     enters a guilty plea under this provision; or
27         (2) if the defendant has previously been sentenced
28     under the provisions of paragraph (c) on or after January
29     1, 1998 for any serious traffic offense as defined in
30     Section 1-187.001 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
