        Further amends the Unified Code of  Corrections.   Increases  the      
   maximum profit for the sale of commissary goods from 10% to 20% of the      
   selling price of the goods.  Provides that 10% of the profits on sales      
   from  commissary  stores  shall  be  expended  by  the  Department  of      
   Corrections  for  the  special benefit of committed persons.  Provides      
   that additional profits on sales from commissary stores must  be  used      
   to provide for the operation of the commissary.                             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections.            
   Provides that the additional charge for commissary goods shall be up        
   to 35% for tobacco products and 25% for non-tobacco products. Provides      
   that the additional charge shall be based upon the amount necessary to      
   cover wages and benefits of employees of commissaries who are covered       
   by a collective bargaining agreement. Provides that 10% of the profits      
   from  commissary stores shall be expended for the benefit of employees      
   and the remainder of the profits shall be used to pay  for  wages  and      
   benefits  of employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement      
   who are employed at the commissaries.

   commissary  stores shall be expended by the Department for the special      
   benefit of committed persons. The remainder must be used first to  pay      
   for wages and benefits of commissary employees covered by a collective      
   bargaining agreement, and then to pay the costs of dietary staff.
