Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act  and  the  Boat      
   Registration  and  Safety  Act.  Provides that a person convicted of a      
   Class 4 felony for operating a  snowmobile  or  watercraft  under  the      
   influence  of  alcohol  or  drugs  and  causing  great  bodily harm or      
   permanent disability or disfigurement  to  another  person  shall,  if      
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, be sentenced to not less than one      
   year  nor  more than 12 years, if the offense was a proximate cause of      
   the injuries.  Deletes language providing that a person who operates a      
   snowmobile or watercraft under the influence is guilty of  a  Class  3      
   felony if the offense results in the death of a person.                     
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Reinserts, with changes, language regarding a person who operates      
   a snowmobile or watercraft under the influence and the offense results      
   in the death of a person. Provides that the  person  is  guilty  of  a      
   Class  2  (rather  than  a  Class 3) felony. Further provides that, if      
   sentenced to a term of imprisonment, the person shall be sentenced  to      
   a term of not less than 3 years and not more than 14 years.                 
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office)                
          SB 1752 would neither increase nor decrease the number of            
          judges needed in the State.                                          
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                              
          Fiscal impact and impact on the corrections population would be      
          minimal from SB 1752.                                                
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          Same as DOC fiscal note.
