Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Includes in the definition  of      
   "being  under  the  influence"  for  purpose  of the reckless homicide      
   statute, being under the influence  of  an  intoxicating  compound  or      
   combination  of  intoxicating  compounds  to a degree that renders the      
   person incapable of safely driving a  motor  vehicle  or  operating  a      
   snowmobile,  all-terrain vehicle, or watercraft or having an amount of      
   a drug, substance, or compound in the person's breath, blood, or urine      
   resulting from the unlawful  use  or  consumption  of  cannabis  or  a      
   controlled substance, or of an intoxicating compound listed in the Use      
   of  Intoxicating  Compounds  Act.  Increases  the penalty for reckless      
   homicide in which the defendant was under the influence of alcohol  or      
   other  drugs from a Class 2 felony to a Class 1 felony.  Increases the      
   term of imprisonment that may be imposed in these cases from not  less      
   than  3  years and not more than 14 years to not less than 4 years and      
   not more than 30 years. If the defendant kills 2 or  more  individuals      
   as  part  of  a  single  course  of  conduct,  increases  the  term of      
   imprisonment that may be imposed from not less than 6  years  and  not      
   more  than  28  years  to  not  less than 8 years and not more than 60      
   years.  Effective immediately.
