    (b) The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke
the license or permit of any driver in the following
situations:
        1. Of any minor upon receiving the notice provided for
    in Section 5-901 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 that the
    minor has been adjudicated under that Act as having
    committed an offense relating to motor vehicles prescribed
    in Section 4-103 of this Code;
        2. Of any person when any other law of this State

    and that involved the operation or use of a motor vehicle
    or the use of a driver's license or permit. The revocation
    shall remain in effect for the period determined by the
    court. Upon the direction of the court, the Secretary shall
    issue the person a judicial driving permit, also known as a
    JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the same terms as a JDP
    issued under Section 6-206.1, except that the court may
    direct that a JDP issued under this subdivision (b)(3) be
    effective immediately.
    (c)(1) Except as provided in subsection (c-5), whenever a
person is convicted of any of the offenses enumerated in this
Section, the court may recommend and the Secretary of State in
his discretion, without regard to whether the recommendation is
made by the court may, upon application, issue to the person a
restricted driving permit granting the privilege of driving a
motor vehicle between the petitioner's residence and
petitioner's place of employment or within the scope of the
petitioner's employment related duties, or to allow the
petitioner to transport himself or herself or a family member
of the petitioner's household to a medical facility for the
receipt of necessary medical care or to allow the petitioner to
transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed
service provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport
himself or herself or a family member of the petitioner's
household to classes, as a student, at an accredited
educational institution, or to allow the petitioner to
transport children, elderly persons, or disabled persons who do
not hold driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's
household to and from daycare; if the petitioner is able to
demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is
reasonably available and that the petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare; provided that the Secretary's
discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship, as
defined by the rules of the Secretary of State, would result
from a failure to issue the restricted driving permit. Those
multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of Section
6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible for the
issuance of a restricted driving permit.
        (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
    11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
    ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or
    other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or a
    similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
    offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that
    person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (3) If:
            (A) a person's license or permit is revoked or
        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
        to any combination of:
                (i) a single conviction of violating Section
            11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
            local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense,
            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
            offense; or
                (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
            Section 11-501.1; or
                (iii) a suspension pursuant to Section
            6-203.1;
        arising out of separate occurrences; or
            (B) a person has been convicted of one violation of
        Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or her
        driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked
        because of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
        Code of 1961, relating to the offense of reckless
        homicide where the use of alcohol or other drugs was
        recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
        provision of a law of another state;
    that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (4) The person issued a permit conditioned on the use
    of an ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary
    of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed
    $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the
    amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating
    to these fees.
        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against
    operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
    employer when used solely for employment purposes.
        (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
    restricted driving permit for a period he deems
    appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within one
    year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
    however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
    whose current revocation is the result of a second or
    subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
    this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
    any similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the
    Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other
    drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or any
    similar out-of-state offense, or any combination of these
    offenses, until the expiration of at least one year from
    the date of the revocation. A restricted driving permit
    issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
    like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
    under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
    except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
    laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall
    be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
    or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The
    Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
    restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
    participate in a designated driver remedial or
    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
    authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
    However, if an individual's driving privileges have been
    revoked in accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a)
    of this Section, no restricted driving permit shall be
    issued until the individual has served 6 months of the
    revocation period.
    (c-5) (Blank).
    (c-6) If a person is convicted of a second violation of
operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,
permit or privilege was revoked, where the revocation was for a
violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating
to the offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state
offense, the person's driving privileges shall be revoked
pursuant to subdivision (a)(15) of this Section. The person may
not make application for a license or permit until the
expiration of five years from the effective date of the
revocation or the expiration of five years from the date of
release from a term of imprisonment, whichever is later.
    (c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 relating to the offense of reckless homicide or a
similar out-of-state offense, the person may never apply for a
license or permit.
    (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
one year. After this one year period, and upon reapplication
for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the
appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
additional periods of not more than 12 months each.
        (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
    11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
    ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or
    other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or a
    similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
    offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that
    person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (3) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to
    any combination of:
            (A) a single conviction of violating Section
        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or
            (B) a statutory summary suspension under Section
        11-501.1; or
            (C) a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
    arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if issued
    a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
    unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock
    device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
    of an interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
    DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per
    month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and
    the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
    fees.
        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
    a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
    device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
    vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
    solely for employment purposes.
        (6) A restricted driving permit issued under this
    Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
    suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
    like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may
    be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
    conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
    cancellation of a restricted driving permit.
    (d-5) The revocation of the license, permit, or driving
privileges of a person convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or
her driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked because
of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
relating to the offense of reckless homicide, or a similar
provision of a law of another state, is permanent. The
Secretary may not, at any time, issue a license or permit to
that person.
    (e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver
License Compact.
    (f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a like
period of time.
    (g) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
this Code.
    (h) The Secretary of State shall require the use of
ignition interlock devices on all vehicles owned by a person
who has been convicted of a second or subsequent offense under
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance. The person must pay to the Secretary of State DUI
Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 for each month
that he or she uses the device. The Secretary shall establish
by rule and regulation the procedures for certification and use
of the interlock system, the amount of the fee, and the
procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.

    for a period of 3 months;
        44. Is under the age of 21 years at the time of arrest
    and has been convicted of an offense against traffic
    regulations governing the movement of vehicles after
    having previously had his or her driving privileges
    suspended or revoked pursuant to subparagraph 36 of this
    Section; or
        45. Has, in connection with or during the course of a
    formal hearing conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code:
    (i) committed perjury; (ii) submitted fraudulent or
    falsified documents; (iii) submitted documents that have
    been materially altered; or (iv) submitted, as his or her
    own, documents that were in fact prepared or composed for
    another person.
    For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26,
and 27 of this subsection, license means any driver's license,
any traffic ticket issued when the person's driver's license is
deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension notice issued by the
Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's license,
a probationary driver's license or a temporary driver's
license.
    (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the
order of suspension or revocation, as the case may be, provided
that a certified copy of a stay order of a court is filed with
the Secretary of State. If the conviction is affirmed on
appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the
time the original judgment of conviction was entered and the 6
month limitation prescribed shall not apply.
    (c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or
permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the
Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in
writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
last known address of the person.
        2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's
    license of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of
    this Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as
    an occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit
    is properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a
    permit issued prior to the effective date of the
    suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of
    which occurred while operating a commercial vehicle in
    connection with the driver's regular occupation. All other
    driving privileges shall be suspended by the Secretary of
    State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for
    occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on
    forms to be provided by the Secretary of State setting
    forth the facts of the person's occupation. The affidavit
    shall also state the number of offenses committed while
    operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
    occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the
    driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed
    affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a
    permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
    regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
    Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
    privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as
    set forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section.
    If an affidavit is received subsequent to the effective
    date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the
    remainder of the suspension period.
        The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to
    any driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of
    operating a commercial motor vehicle.
        Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit
    required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section
    6-302 and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving
    privileges revoked without further rights.
        3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118
    of this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind
    or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
    order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
    rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
    suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
    order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
    hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
    State), issue a restricted driving permit granting the
    privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
    petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
    employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
    employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
    transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
    petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
    necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to
    transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
    remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a
    licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to
    transport himself or herself or a family member of the
    petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
    accredited educational institution, or to allow the
    petitioner to transport children, elderly persons, or
    disabled persons who do not hold driving privileges and are
    living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare.
    The petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means
    of transportation is reasonably available and that the
    petitioner will not endanger the public safety or welfare.
    Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of
    Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible
    for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
             (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
        suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
        Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
        local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where the use
        of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of
        the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, or a
        combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
        occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
        driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
        been equipped with an ignition interlock device as
        defined in Section 1-129.1.
            (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
        suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
        to any combination of:
                (i) a single conviction of violating Section
            11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
            local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
            or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, where
            the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
            element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state
            offense; or
                (ii) a statutory summary suspension under
            Section 11-501.1; or
                (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
        arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
        issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
        vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
        interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
            (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
        use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
        Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
        not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall
        establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
        and conditions relating to these fees.
            (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
        employment purposes, then the prohibition against
        operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
        ignition interlock device does not apply to the
        operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
        that person's employer when used solely for employment
        purposes.
            (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
        restricted driving permit for a period deemed
        appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
        within one year from the date of issuance. The
        Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
        permit to any person whose current revocation is the
        result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
        violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
        provision of a local ordinance or any similar
        out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
        Code of 1961, where the use of alcohol or other drugs
        is recited as an element of the offense, or any similar
        out-of-state offense, or any combination of those
        offenses, until the expiration of at least one year
        from the date of the revocation. A restricted driving
        permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the
        Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as
        a driver's license issued under this Code may be
        cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
        conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
        ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
        deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
        suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
        permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
        the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
        the applicant to participate in a designated driver
        remedial or rehabilitative program. The Secretary of
        State is authorized to cancel a restricted driving
        permit if the permit holder does not successfully
        complete the program.
    (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
request.
    (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
the notice.
    (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
participate in a driver remedial education course and be
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
    (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
Drivers License Compact.
    (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
provisions of this Code.
    (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a
CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked,
cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code.

    Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
changing Section 5-4-1 as follows:
 
    (730 ILCS 5/5-4-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-4-1)
    Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing Hearing.
    (a) Except when the death penalty is sought under hearing
procedures otherwise specified, after a determination of
guilt, a hearing shall be held to impose the sentence. However,
prior to the imposition of sentence on an individual being
sentenced for an offense based upon a charge for a violation of
Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, the individual must undergo a
professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other
drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a problem.
Programs conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is not
a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
individual's residence. The court may in its sentencing order
approve an eligible defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections impact incarceration program as provided in
Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3. The court may in its sentencing
order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
        (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
    trial;
        (2) consider any presentence reports;
        (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
    based on the financial impact statement filed with the
    clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
        (4) consider evidence and information offered by the
    parties in aggravation and mitigation;
        (4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
    screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
    an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
    assessment services for the Illinois courts;
        (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
        (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
    statement in his own behalf;
        (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a violation
    of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or a
    similar provision of a local ordinance, or a qualified
    individual affected by: (i) a violation of Section 405,
    405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances
    Act or a violation of Section 55 or Section 65 of the
    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
    (ii) a Class 4 felony violation of Section 11-14, 11-15,
    11-17, 11-18, 11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of
    1961, committed by the defendant the opportunity to make a
    statement concerning the impact on the victim and to offer
    evidence in aggravation or mitigation; provided that the
    statement and evidence offered in aggravation or
    mitigation must first be prepared in writing in conjunction
    with the State's Attorney before it may be presented orally
    at the hearing. Any sworn testimony offered by the victim
    is subject to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All
    statements and evidence offered under this paragraph (7)
    shall become part of the record of the court. For the
    purpose of this paragraph (7), "qualified individual"
    means any person who (i) lived or worked within the
    territorial jurisdiction where the offense took place when
    the offense took place; and (ii) is familiar with various
    public places within the territorial jurisdiction where
    the offense took place when the offense took place. For the
    purposes of this paragraph (7), "qualified individual"
    includes any peace officer, or any member of any duly
    organized State, county, or municipal peace unit assigned
    to the territorial jurisdiction where the offense took
    place when the offense took place;
        (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
    spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
    members an opportunity to make oral statements; and
        (9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
    under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
    results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
    to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and .
        (10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was used
    in the commission of the offense for which the defendant is
    being sentenced.
    (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer sitting
as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not impose
sentence at the same time on all defendants who are convicted
as a result of being involved in the same offense, the
defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the sentencing
court of the disposition of any other defendants who have been
sentenced.
    (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury to
someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall specify
on the record the particular evidence, information, factors in
mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that led to his
sentencing determination. The full verbatim record of the
sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the court
and shall be a public record.
    (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or category
II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to whether
the conduct leading to conviction for the offense resulted in
great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that finding and
the basis for that finding in the record.
    (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of
death is imposed, at the time the sentence is imposed the judge
shall state on the record in open court the approximate period
of time the defendant will serve in custody according to the
then current statutory rules and regulations for early release
found in Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of this
Code. This statement is intended solely to inform the public,
has no legal effect on the defendant's actual release, and may
not be relied on by the defendant on appeal.
    The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,
shall include the following:
    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good
conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply with
the institutional regulations, does not receive those credits,
the actual time served in prison will be longer. The defendant
may also receive an additional one-half day good conduct credit
for each day of participation in vocational, industry,
substance abuse, and educational programs as provided for by
Illinois statute."
    When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, other than
when the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses enumerated
in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3 committed on or after June
19, 1998, and other than when the sentence is imposed for
reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense was committed on or
after January 1, 1999, and other than when the sentence is
imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on or
after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act 92-176),
the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, shall include the following:
    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good
conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply with
the institutional regulations, does not receive those credits,
the actual time served in prison will be longer. The defendant
may also receive an additional one-half day good conduct credit
for each day of participation in vocational, industry,
substance abuse, and educational programs as provided for by
Illinois statute."
    When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense was committed on or after
January 1, 1999, and when the sentence is imposed for
aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug
or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
combination thereof as defined in subparagraph (F) of paragraph
(1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated arson if
the offense was committed on or after July 27, 2001 (the
effective date of Public Act 92-176), the judge's statement, to
be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall include the
following:
    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of
imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least 85%
of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 1/2
days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the period
of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... months. If the
defendant, because of his or her own misconduct or failure to
comply with the institutional regulations receives lesser
credit, the actual time served in prison will be longer."
    When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first degree
murder and the offense was committed on or after June 19, 1998,
the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, shall include the following:
    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is not entitled to good conduct credit.
Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
sentence."
    When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
substance abuse program for any offense that results in
incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement, in
addition to any other judge's statement required under this
Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
include the following:
    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant shall receive no good conduct credit under
clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or she
participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3."
    (c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the
presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently
serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
States. If the defendant is currently serving in the Armed
Forces of the United States or is a veteran of the Armed Forces
of the United States and has been diagnosed as having a mental
illness by a qualified psychiatrist or clinical psychologist or
physician, the court may:
        (1) order that the officer preparing the presentence
    report consult with the United States Department of
    Veterans Affairs, Illinois Department of Veterans'
    Affairs, or another agency or person with suitable
    knowledge or experience for the purpose of providing the
    court with information regarding treatment options
    available to the defendant, including federal, State, and
    local programming; and
        (2) consider the treatment recommendations of any
    diagnosing or treating mental health professionals
    together with the treatment options available to the
    defendant in imposing sentence.
    For the purposes of this subsection (c-4), "qualified
psychiatrist" means a reputable physician licensed in Illinois
to practice medicine in all its branches, who has specialized
in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and nervous disorders
for a period of not less than 5 years.
    (c-6) In imposing a sentence, the trial judge shall
specify, on the record, the particular evidence and other
reasons which led to his or her determination that a motor
vehicle was used in the commission of the offense.
    (d) When the defendant is committed to the Department of
Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the
defendant may file a statement with the clerk of the court to
be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to
which the defendant is committed to furnish such department,
agency or institution with the facts and circumstances of the
offense for which the person was committed together with all
other factual information accessible to them in regard to the
person prior to his commitment relative to his habits,
associates, disposition and reputation and any other facts and
circumstances which may aid such department, agency or
institution during its custody of such person. The clerk shall
within 10 days after receiving any such statements transmit a
copy to such department, agency or institution and a copy to
the other party, provided, however, that this shall not be
cause for delay in conveying the person to the department,
agency or institution to which he has been committed.
    (e) The clerk of the court shall transmit to the
department, agency or institution, if any, to which the
defendant is committed, the following:
        (1) the sentence imposed;
        (2) any statement by the court of the basis for
    imposing the sentence;
        (3) any presentence reports;
        (3.5) any sex offender evaluations;
        (3.6) any substance abuse treatment eligibility
    screening and assessment of the defendant by an agent
    designated by the State of Illinois to provide assessment
    services for the Illinois courts;
        (4) the number of days, if any, which the defendant has
    been in custody and for which he is entitled to credit
    against the sentence, which information shall be provided
    to the clerk by the sheriff;
        (4.1) any finding of great bodily harm made by the
    court with respect to an offense enumerated in subsection
    (c-1);
        (5) all statements filed under subsection (d) of this
    Section;
        (6) any medical or mental health records or summaries
    of the defendant;
        (7) the municipality where the arrest of the offender
    or the commission of the offense has occurred, where such
    municipality has a population of more than 25,000 persons;
        (8) all statements made and evidence offered under
    paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of this Section; and
        (9) all additional matters which the court directs the
    clerk to transmit.
    (f) In cases in which the court finds that a motor vehicle
was used in the commission of the offense for which the
defendant is being sentenced, the clerk of the court shall,
within 5 days thereafter, forward a report of such conviction
to the Secretary of State.
