Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 50. Community service; work alternative program.
(a) In addition to any other penalties imposed against an offender under
this Act, the court may order the offender to perform community service for
not less than 30 and not more than 120 hours per month, if community service is
available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county board
of the county where the offense was committed. In addition, whenever any
person is placed on supervision for committing an offense under this Act, the
supervision shall be conditioned on the performance of the community service.
(b) In addition to any other penalties imposed against an offender under
this Act, the court may sentence the offender to service in a work alternative
program administered by the sheriff. The conditions of the program are that
the offender obtain or retain employment and participate in a work alternative
program administered by the sheriff during non-working hours. A person may not
be required to participate in a work alternative program under this subsection
if the person is currently participating in a work program pursuant to another
provision of this Act, Section 10-11.1 of the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section
505.1 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, or Section
806 of the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015.
(c) In addition to any other penalties imposed against an offender under
this Act, the court may order, in cases where the offender has been in
violation of this Act for 90 days or more, that the offender's Illinois
driving privileges be suspended until the court determines that the offender
is in compliance with this Act.
The court may determine that the offender is in compliance with this Act
if the offender has agreed (i) to pay all required amounts of support and
maintenance as determined by the court or (ii) to the garnishment of his or
her income for the purpose of paying those
amounts.
The court may also order that the offender be issued a family
financial responsibility driving permit that would allow limited
driving privileges for employment and medical purposes in
accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order suspending
the driving privileges of the offender or granting the issuance of a
family financial responsibility driving permit to the Secretary of State
on forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt of the authenticated
documents, the Secretary of State shall suspend the offender's driving
privileges until further order of the court and shall, if ordered by the
court, subject to the provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, issue a family financial responsibility driving permit to the offender.
(d) If the court determines that the offender has been in violation of this
Act for more than 60 days, the court may determine whether the offender has
applied for or been issued a professional license by the Department of
Professional Regulation or another licensing agency. If the court determines
that the offender has applied for or been issued such a license, the court may
certify to the Department of Professional Regulation or other licensing agency
that the offender has been in violation of this Act for more than 60 days so
that the Department or other agency may take appropriate steps with respect
to the license or application as provided in Section 10-65 of the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act and Section 2105-15 of the Department of
Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois. The court may take the actions required under this subsection in
addition to imposing any other penalty authorized under this Act.
