| 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 5-5-6 as follows:
| 6 |
| (730 ILCS 5/5-5-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-6)
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-5-6. In all convictions for offenses in violation of | 8 |
| the Criminal
Code of 1961 or of Section 11-501 of the Illinois | 9 |
| Vehicle Code in which the person received any injury to his or | 10 |
| her their person or damage
to his or her their real or personal | 11 |
| property as a result of the criminal act of the
defendant, the | 12 |
| court shall order restitution as provided in this Section. In
| 13 |
| all other cases, except cases in which restitution is required | 14 |
| under this
Section, the court must at the sentence hearing | 15 |
| determine whether restitution
is an appropriate sentence to be | 16 |
| imposed on each defendant convicted of an
offense. If the court | 17 |
| determines that an order directing the offender to make
| 18 |
| restitution is appropriate, the offender may be sentenced to | 19 |
| make restitution.
The court may consider restitution an | 20 |
| appropriate sentence to be imposed on each defendant convicted | 21 |
| of an offense in addition to a sentence of imprisonment. The | 22 |
| sentence of the defendant to a term of imprisonment is not a | 23 |
| mitigating factor that prevents the court from ordering the |
|
|

|
| 1 |
| defendant to pay restitution. If
the offender is sentenced to | 2 |
| make restitution the Court shall determine the
restitution as | 3 |
| hereinafter set forth:
| 4 |
| (a) At the sentence hearing, the court shall determine | 5 |
| whether the
property
may be restored in kind to the | 6 |
| possession of the owner or the person entitled
to | 7 |
| possession thereof; or whether the defendant is possessed | 8 |
| of sufficient
skill to repair and restore property damaged; | 9 |
| or whether the defendant should
be required to make | 10 |
| restitution in cash, for out-of-pocket expenses, damages,
| 11 |
| losses, or injuries found to have been proximately caused | 12 |
| by the conduct
of the defendant or another for whom the | 13 |
| defendant is legally accountable
under the provisions of | 14 |
| Article V of the Criminal Code of 1961.
| 15 |
| (b) In fixing the amount of restitution to be paid in | 16 |
| cash, the court
shall allow credit for property returned in | 17 |
| kind, for property damages ordered
to be repaired by the | 18 |
| defendant, and for property ordered to be restored
by the | 19 |
| defendant; and after granting the credit, the court shall | 20 |
| assess
the actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, | 21 |
| and injuries suffered
by the victim named in the charge and | 22 |
| any other victims who may also have
suffered out-of-pocket | 23 |
| expenses, losses, damages, and injuries proximately
caused | 24 |
| by the same criminal conduct of the defendant, and | 25 |
| insurance
carriers who have indemnified the named victim or | 26 |
| other victims for the
out-of-pocket expenses, losses, |

|
| 1 |
| damages, or injuries, provided that in no
event shall | 2 |
| restitution be ordered to be paid on account of pain and
| 3 |
| suffering. If a defendant is placed on supervision for, or | 4 |
| convicted of,
domestic battery, the defendant shall be | 5 |
| required to pay restitution to any
domestic violence | 6 |
| shelter in which the victim and any other family or | 7 |
| household
members lived because of the domestic battery. | 8 |
| The amount of the restitution
shall equal the actual | 9 |
| expenses of the domestic violence shelter in providing
| 10 |
| housing and any other services for the victim and any other | 11 |
| family or household
members living at the shelter. If a | 12 |
| defendant fails to pay restitution in
the manner or within
| 13 |
| the time period specified by the court, the court may enter | 14 |
| an order
directing the sheriff to seize any real or | 15 |
| personal property of a defendant
to the extent necessary to | 16 |
| satisfy the order of restitution and dispose of
the | 17 |
| property by public sale. All proceeds from such sale in | 18 |
| excess of the
amount of restitution plus court costs and | 19 |
| the costs of the sheriff in
conducting the sale shall be | 20 |
| paid to the defendant. The defendant convicted of
domestic | 21 |
| battery, if a person under 18 years of age was present and | 22 |
| witnessed the domestic battery of the
victim, is liable to | 23 |
| pay restitution for the cost of any counseling required
for
| 24 |
| the child at the discretion of the court.
| 25 |
| (c) In cases where more than one defendant is | 26 |
| accountable for the same
criminal conduct that results in |
|
|

LRB096 08945 RLC 19083 b |
|
| 1 |
| out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages,
or injuries, each | 2 |
| defendant shall be ordered to pay restitution in the amount
| 3 |
| of the total actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses, | 4 |
| damages, or injuries
to the victim proximately caused by | 5 |
| the conduct of all of the defendants
who are legally | 6 |
| accountable for the offense.
| 7 |
| (1) In no event shall the victim be entitled to | 8 |
| recover restitution in
excess of the actual | 9 |
| out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries,
| 10 |
| proximately caused by the conduct of all of the | 11 |
| defendants.
| 12 |
| (2) As between the defendants, the court may | 13 |
| apportion the restitution
that is payable in | 14 |
| proportion to each co-defendant's culpability in the
| 15 |
| commission of the offense.
| 16 |
| (3) In the absence of a specific order apportioning | 17 |
| the restitution,
each defendant shall bear his pro rata | 18 |
| share of the restitution.
| 19 |
| (4) As between the defendants, each defendant | 20 |
| shall be entitled to a pro
rata reduction in the total | 21 |
| restitution required to be paid to the victim
for | 22 |
| amounts of restitution actually paid by co-defendants, | 23 |
| and defendants
who shall have paid more than their pro | 24 |
| rata share shall be entitled to
refunds to be computed | 25 |
| by the court as additional amounts are
paid by | 26 |
| co-defendants.

| (d) In instances where a defendant has more than one | 2 |
| criminal charge
pending
against him in a single case, or | 3 |
| more than one case, and the defendant stands
convicted of | 4 |
| one or more charges, a plea agreement negotiated by the | 5 |
| State's
Attorney and the defendants may require the | 6 |
| defendant to make restitution
to victims of charges that | 7 |
| have been dismissed or which it is contemplated
will be | 8 |
| dismissed under the terms of the plea agreement, and under | 9 |
| the
agreement, the court may impose a sentence of | 10 |
| restitution on the charge
or charges of which the defendant | 11 |
| has been convicted that would require
the defendant to make | 12 |
| restitution to victims of other offenses as provided
in the | 13 |
| plea agreement.
| 14 |
| (e) The court may require the defendant to apply the | 15 |
| balance of the cash
bond, after payment of court costs, and | 16 |
| any fine that may be imposed to
the payment of restitution.
| 17 |
| (f) Taking into consideration the ability of the | 18 |
| defendant to pay, including any real or personal property | 19 |
| or any other assets of the defendant,
the court shall | 20 |
| determine whether restitution shall be paid in a single
| 21 |
| payment or in installments, and shall fix a period of time | 22 |
| not in excess
of 5 years or the period of time specified in | 23 |
| subsection (f-1), not including periods of incarceration, | 24 |
| within which payment of
restitution is to be paid in full.
| 25 |
| Complete restitution shall be paid in as short a time | 26 |
| period as possible.
However, if the court deems it |
|
|
|
SB1816 Engrossed |
- 6 - |
LRB096 08945 RLC 19083 b |
|
| 1 |
| necessary and in the best interest of the
victim, the court | 2 |
| may extend beyond 5 years the period of time within which | 3 |
| the
payment of restitution is to be paid.
If the defendant | 4 |
| is ordered to pay restitution and the court orders that
| 5 |
| restitution is to be paid over a period greater than 6 | 6 |
| months, the court
shall order that the defendant make | 7 |
| monthly payments; the court may waive
this requirement of | 8 |
| monthly payments only if there is a specific finding of
| 9 |
| good cause for waiver.
| 10 |
| (f-1)(1) In addition to any other penalty prescribed by | 11 |
| law and any restitution ordered under this Section that did | 12 |
| not include long-term physical health care costs, the court | 13 |
| may, upon conviction of any misdemeanor or felony, order a | 14 |
| defendant to pay restitution to a victim in accordance with | 15 |
| the provisions of this subsection (f-1) if the victim has | 16 |
| suffered physical injury as a result of the offense that is | 17 |
| reasonably probable to require or has required long-term | 18 |
| physical health care for more than 3 months. As used in | 19 |
| this subsection (f-1) "long-term physical health care" | 20 |
| includes mental health care.
| 21 |
| (2) The victim's estimate of long-term physical health | 22 |
| care costs may be made as part of a victim impact statement | 23 |
| under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and | 24 |
| Witnesses Act or made separately. The court shall enter the | 25 |
| long-term physical health care restitution order at the | 26 |
| time of sentencing. An order of restitution made under this |
|
|
|
SB1816 Engrossed |
- 7 - |
LRB096 08945 RLC 19083 b |
|
| 1 |
| subsection (f-1) shall fix a monthly amount to be paid by | 2 |
| the defendant for as long as long-term physical health care | 3 |
| of the victim is required as a result of the offense. The | 4 |
| order may exceed the length of any sentence imposed upon | 5 |
| the defendant for the criminal activity. The court shall | 6 |
| include as a special finding in the judgment of conviction | 7 |
| its determination of the monthly cost of long-term physical | 8 |
| health care.
| 9 |
| (3) After a sentencing order has been entered, the | 10 |
| court may from time to time, on the petition of either the | 11 |
| defendant or the victim, or upon its own motion, enter an | 12 |
| order for restitution for long-term physical care or modify | 13 |
| the existing order for restitution for long-term physical | 14 |
| care as to the amount of monthly payments. Any modification | 15 |
| of the order shall be based only upon a substantial change | 16 |
| of circumstances relating to the cost of long-term physical | 17 |
| health care or the financial condition of either the | 18 |
| defendant or the victim. The petition shall be filed as | 19 |
| part of the original criminal docket.
| 20 |
| (g) In addition to the sentences provided for in | 21 |
| Sections 11-19.2, 11-20.1, 12-13,
12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, | 22 |
| and 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961, the court may
order | 23 |
| any person who is convicted of violating any of those | 24 |
| Sections or who was charged with any of those offenses and | 25 |
| which charge was reduced to another charge as a result of a | 26 |
| plea agreement under subsection (d) of this Section to meet
|
|

|
| 1 |
| all or any portion of the financial obligations of | 2 |
| treatment, including but not
limited to medical, | 3 |
| psychiatric, or rehabilitative treatment or psychological | 4 |
| counseling,
prescribed for the victim or victims of the | 5 |
| offense.
| 6 |
| The payments shall be made by the defendant to the | 7 |
| clerk of the circuit
court
and transmitted by the clerk to | 8 |
| the appropriate person or agency as directed by
the court. | 9 |
| Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f-1), the
order | 10 |
| may require such payments to be made for a period not to
| 11 |
| exceed 5 years after sentencing, not including periods of | 12 |
| incarceration.
| 13 |
| (h) The judge may enter an order of withholding to | 14 |
| collect the amount
of restitution owed in accordance with | 15 |
| Part 8 of Article XII of the Code of
Civil Procedure.
| 16 |
| (i) A sentence of restitution may be modified or | 17 |
| revoked by the court
if the offender commits another | 18 |
| offense, or the offender fails to make
restitution as | 19 |
| ordered by the court, but no sentence to make restitution
| 20 |
| shall be revoked unless the court shall find that the | 21 |
| offender has had the
financial ability to make restitution, | 22 |
| and he has wilfully refused to do
so. When the offender's | 23 |
| ability to pay restitution was established at the time
an | 24 |
| order of restitution was entered or modified, or when the | 25 |
| offender's ability
to pay was based on the offender's | 26 |
| willingness to make restitution as part of a
plea agreement |

| 1 |
| made at the time the order of restitution was entered or
| 2 |
| modified, there is a rebuttable presumption that the facts | 3 |
| and circumstances
considered by the court at the hearing at | 4 |
| which the order of restitution was
entered or modified | 5 |
| regarding the offender's ability or willingness to pay
| 6 |
| restitution have not materially changed. If the court shall | 7 |
| find that the
defendant has failed to make
restitution and | 8 |
| that the failure is not wilful, the court may impose an
| 9 |
| additional period of time within which to make restitution. | 10 |
| The length of
the additional period shall not be more than | 11 |
| 2 years. The court shall
retain all of the incidents of the | 12 |
| original sentence, including the
authority to modify or | 13 |
| enlarge the conditions, and to revoke or further
modify the | 14 |
| sentence if the conditions of payment are violated during | 15 |
| the
additional period.
| 16 |
| (j) The procedure upon the filing of a Petition to | 17 |
| Revoke a sentence to
make restitution shall be the same as | 18 |
| the procedures set forth in Section
5-6-4 of this Code | 19 |
| governing violation, modification, or revocation of
| 20 |
| Probation, of Conditional Discharge, or of Supervision.
| 21 |
| (k) Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude | 22 |
| the right of any
party to proceed in a civil action to | 23 |
| recover for any damages incurred due
to the criminal | 24 |
| misconduct of the defendant.
| 25 |
| (l) Restitution ordered under this Section shall not be
| 26 |
| subject to disbursement by the circuit clerk under Section |

| 27.5 of the
Clerks of Courts Act.
| 2 |
| (m) A restitution order under this Section is a | 3 |
| judgment lien in favor
of
the victim that:
| 4 |
| (1) Attaches to the property of the person subject | 5 |
| to the order;
| 6 |
| (2) May be perfected in the same manner as provided | 7 |
| in Part 3 of Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code;
| 8 |
| (3) May be enforced to satisfy any payment that is | 9 |
| delinquent under the
restitution order by the person in | 10 |
| whose favor the order is issued or the
person's | 11 |
| assignee; and
| 12 |
| (4) Expires in the same manner as a judgment lien | 13 |
| created in a civil
proceeding.
| 14 |
| When a restitution order is issued under this Section, | 15 |
| the issuing court
shall send a certified copy of the order | 16 |
| to the clerk of the circuit court
in the county where the | 17 |
| charge was filed. Upon receiving the order, the
clerk shall | 18 |
| enter and index the order in the circuit court judgment | 19 |
| docket.
| 20 |
| (n) An order of restitution under this Section does not | 21 |
| bar
a civil action for:
| 22 |
| (1) Damages that the court did not require the | 23 |
| person to pay to the
victim under the restitution order | 24 |
| but arise from an injury or property
damages that is | 25 |
| the basis of restitution ordered by the court; and
| 26 |
| (2) Other damages suffered by the victim.

| The restitution order is not discharged by the
completion | 2 |
| of the sentence imposed for the offense.
| 3 |
| A restitution order under this Section is not discharged by | 4 |
| the
liquidation of a person's estate by a receiver. A | 5 |
| restitution order under
this Section may be enforced in the | 6 |
| same manner as judgment liens are
enforced under Article XII of | 7 |
| the Code of Civil Procedure.
| 8 |
| The provisions of Section 2-1303 of the Code of Civil | 9 |
| Procedure,
providing for interest on judgments, apply to | 10 |
| judgments for restitution entered
under this Section.
