725 ILCS 5/ Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.

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. 106-2.5.

Use immunity.

(a) In lieu of the immunity provided in Section 106-2 of this Code, the
State's Attorney may make application to the court that a street gang
member, who testifies on behalf of a public authority in a civil proceeding
brought against a streetgang under the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism
Omnibus Prevention Act, be granted immunity from prosecution in a criminal
case as to any information directly or indirectly derived from the
production of evidence by the streetgang member.  The court shall grant
the order of immunity if:

(1) the production of the evidence is necessary to a

fair determination of a cause of action under the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act; and

(2) the streetgang member has refused or is likely to

refuse to produce the evidence on the basis of his or her privilege against self-incrimination.

(b) In lieu of the immunity provided in Section 106-2 of this Code, in any
investigation before a Grand Jury, or trial in any court, the court on motion
of the State shall order that a witness be granted immunity from prosecution in
a criminal case as to any information directly or indirectly derived from the
production of evidence from the witness if the witness has refused or is likely to refuse to produce the
evidence
on the basis of his or her privilege against self-incrimination.

(c) The production of evidence so compelled under the order, and any
information directly or indirectly derived from it, may not be used against
the witness in a criminal case, except in a prosecution for perjury, false
swearing, or an offense otherwise involving a failure to comply with the order.
An order of immunity granted under this Section does not bar prosecution of the
witness, except as specifically provided in this Section.

(d) Upon request of the witness so compelled, a copy of the
evidence produced under the order shall be furnished to him or her.
