 1                    AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2296

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 2296  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4        "Section 1. Findings; validation.
 5        (a)  Public  Act  90-456,  effective January 1, 1998, was
 6    entitled "An Act in relation to criminal law.".  It contained
 7    provisions amending the Criminal Code of 1961,  the  Code  of
 8    Criminal  Procedure  of  1963,  and  the  Emergency Telephone
 9    System Act, all pertaining to the subject  of  criminal  law.
10    It  also  contained  a  provision  amending subsection (b) of
11    Section 2-14 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,  relating  to
12    the  commencement  of  civil  adjudicatory hearings in abuse,
13    neglect, and dependency cases.
14        (b)  The Illinois Supreme Court,  in  People  v.  Sypien,
15    Docket  No.  89265,  has  ruled  that  the  inclusion  of the
16    amendment to the Juvenile Court  Act  of  1987  violated  the
17    single  subject  clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
18    IV, Section 8(d)), and that Public Act  90-456  is  therefore
19    unconstitutional in its entirety.
20        (c)  This  Act  re-enacts  Section  15.2 of the Emergency
21    Telephone System Act, Section 26-1 of the  Criminal  Code  of
22    1961,  and Section 108-8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
23    1963.  The text of those Sections includes both  the  changes
 
                            -2-              LRB9205092ARsbam
 1    made by Public Act 90-456 and, where applicable, changes made
 2    by  subsequent  amendments.  In order to avoid confusion with
 3    the changes made by subsequent amendments, the Sections  that
 4    are  re-enacted in this Act are shown as existing text (i.e.,
 5    without striking and underscoring).  This Act is not intended
 6    to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of any
 7    of the re-enacted Sections as set forth in this Act. This Act
 8    also amends Section 12-14 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
 9        (d)  All  otherwise  lawful  actions  taken  before   the
10    effective  date  of  this  Act  in reliance on or pursuant to
11    Section 108-8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of  1963,  as
12    set  forth in Public Act 90-456, by any officer, employee, or
13    agency of State or local government or by any other person or
14    entity, are hereby validated.
15        (e)  The re-enactment by this Act of Section 108-8 of the
16    Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 applies to warrants issued
17    or executed on or after the  effective  date  of  Public  Act
18    90-456  (January  1,  1998),  as  well  as warrants issued or
19    executed on or after the effective date of this Act.

20        Section 5.  The Emergency Telephone System Act is amended
21    by re-enacting Section 15.2 as follows:

22        (50 ILCS 750/15.2) (from Ch. 134, par. 45.2)
23        Sec. 15.2.  Any person calling the number "911"  for  the
24    purpose  of  making  a false alarm or complaint and reporting
25    false information is subject to  the  provisions  of  Section
26    26-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
27    (Source: P.A. 90-456, eff. 1-1-98.)

28        Section  10.   The  Criminal  Code  of 1961 is amended by
29    re-enacting Section  26-1   and  amending  Section  12-14  as
30    follows:
