FEIGENHOLTZ-GARRETT-SCHOENBERG-GASH-DAVIS,MONIQUE, 
   LANG AND OSTERMAN.

   720 ILCS 5/12-7.1         from Ch. 38, par. 12-7.1                          
   730 ILCS 5/5-5-3                                                            

        Amends the  Criminal  Code  of  1961  and  the  Unified  Code  of      
   Corrections.   In  the  Section  concerning the offense of hate crime,      
   replaces the  requirement  that  a  person  must  commit  one  of  the      
   specified  offenses  "by  reason  of"  the actual or perceived race or      
   other attribute of the victim with the  requirement  that  the  person      
   must  commit one of the specified offenses "based in whole or in part"      
   upon the actual or perceived race or other attribute  of  the  victim.      
   Adds  hate  crime  to  the  list of offenses for which a court may not      
   impose a period of probation, a  term  of  periodic  imprisonment,  or      
   conditional  discharge.  (Now,  a court may not impose those sentences      
   only in the case of a second or subsequent conviction for  hate  crime      
   when the underlying offense is felony aggravated assault or felony mob      
   action.)
