    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
Article 1.

 
    Section 1-1. Findings; purpose; validation.
    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
        (1) Public Act 88-669, effective November 29, 1994,
    contained provisions amending the Criminal Code of 1961 and
    the Unified Code of Corrections. Public Act 88-669 also
    contained other provisions.
        (2) The Illinois Supreme Court declared Public Act
    88-669 to be unconstitutional as a violation of the single
    subject clause of the Illinois Constitution in People v.
    Olender, Docket No. 98932, opinion filed December 15, 2005.
    (b) The purpose of this Article 1 is to re-enact the
provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of
Corrections that were affected by Public Act 88-669 and to
minimize or prevent any problems concerning those provisions
that may arise from the unconstitutionality of Public Act
88-669. This re-enactment is intended to remove any question as
to the validity and content of those provisions; it is not
intended to supersede any other Public Act that amends the
provisions re-enacted in this Article 1. The re-enacted
material is shown in this Article 1 as existing text (i.e.,
without underscoring) and may include changes made by
subsequent amendments.
    (c) The re-enactment of provisions of the Criminal Code of
1961 and the Unified Code of Corrections by this Article 1 is
not intended, and shall not be construed, to impair any legal
argument concerning whether those provisions were
substantially re-enacted by any other Public Act.
    (d) All otherwise lawful actions taken before the effective
date of this Article 1 in reliance on or pursuant to the
provisions re-enacted by this Article 1, as those provisions
were set forth in Public Act 88-669 or as subsequently amended,
by any officer, employee, or agency of State government or by
any other person or entity, are hereby validated, except to the
extent prohibited under the Illinois or United States
Constitution.
    (e) This Article 1 applies, without limitation, to actions
pending on or after the effective date of this Article 1,
except to the extent prohibited under the Illinois or United
States Constitution.
 
    Section 1-5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by
re-enacting Section 36-1 as follows:
 
    (720 ILCS 5/36-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 36-1)

Code, paragraph (a) of Section 12-15 or paragraphs (a), (c) or

or 26 of the Cigarette Tax Act if the vessel, vehicle or

offenses described in the following provisions of the Illinois
Vehicle Code: Section 11-501 subdivisions (c-1)(1), (c-1)(2),
(c-1)(3), (d)(1)(A), (d)(1)(D), (d)(1)(G), or (d)(1)(H); (g)
an offense described in subsection (g) of Section 6-303 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code; or (h) an offense described in
subsection (e) of Section 6-101 of the Illinois Vehicle Code;
may be seized and delivered forthwith to the sheriff of the
county of seizure.
    Within 15 days after such delivery the sheriff shall give
notice of seizure to each person according to the following
method: Upon each such person whose right, title or interest is
of record in the office of the Secretary of State, the
Secretary of Transportation, the Administrator of the Federal
Aviation Agency, or any other Department of this State, or any
other state of the United States if such vessel, vehicle or
aircraft is required to be so registered, as the case may be,
by mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail to the
address as given upon the records of the Secretary of State,
the Department of Aeronautics, Department of Public Works and
Buildings or any other Department of this State or the United
States if such vessel, vehicle or aircraft is required to be so
registered. Within that 15 day period the sheriff shall also
notify the State's Attorney of the county of seizure about the
seizure.
    In addition, any mobile or portable equipment used in the
commission of an act which is in violation of Section 7g of the
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act shall be subject to
seizure and forfeiture under the same procedures provided in
this Article for the seizure and forfeiture of vessels,
vehicles and aircraft, and any such equipment shall be deemed a
vessel, vehicle or aircraft for purposes of this Article.
    When a person discharges a firearm at another individual
from a vehicle with the knowledge and consent of the owner of
the vehicle and with the intent to cause death or great bodily
harm to that individual and as a result causes death or great
bodily harm to that individual, the vehicle shall be subject to
seizure and forfeiture under the same procedures provided in
this Article for the seizure and forfeiture of vehicles used in
violations of clauses (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this Section.
    If the spouse of the owner of a vehicle seized for an
offense described in subsection (g) of Section 6-303 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, a violation of subdivision (c-1)(1),
(c-1)(2), (c-1)(3), (d)(1)(A), or (d)(1)(D) of Section 11-501
of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or Section 9-3 of this Code makes
a showing that the seized vehicle is the only source of
transportation and it is determined that the financial hardship
to the family as a result of the seizure outweighs the benefit
to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be forfeited to
the spouse or family member and the title to the vehicle shall
be transferred to the spouse or family member who is properly
licensed and who requires the use of the vehicle for employment
or family transportation purposes. A written declaration of
forfeiture of a vehicle under this Section shall be sufficient
cause for the title to be transferred to the spouse or family
member. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to
one forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a
subsequent forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent
conviction of either spouse or the family member, the spouse or
family member to whom the vehicle was forfeited under the first
forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the provisions of this
paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of the
vehicle seized owns more than one vehicle, the procedure set
out in this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
    Property declared contraband under Section 40 of the
Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act may be
seized and forfeited under this Article.

    Section 1-10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
re-enacting Sections 3-7-6, 3-12-2, and 3-12-5 as follows:
 
    (730 ILCS 5/3-7-6)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-7-6)
    Sec. 3-7-6. Reimbursement for expenses.
    (a) Responsibility of committed persons. For the purposes
of this Section, "committed persons" mean those persons who
through judicial determination have been placed in the custody
of the Department on the basis of a conviction as an adult.
Committed persons shall be responsible to reimburse the
Department for the expenses incurred by their incarceration at
a rate to be determined by the Department in accordance with
this Section.
        (1) Committed persons shall fully cooperate with the
    Department by providing complete financial information for
    the purposes under this Section.
        (2) The failure of a committed person to fully
    cooperate as provided for in clauses (3) and (4) of
    subsection (a-5) shall be considered for purposes of a
    parole determination. Any committed person who willfully
    refuses to cooperate with the obligations set forth in this
    Section may be subject to the loss of good conduct credit
    towards his or her sentence of up to 180 days.
    (a-5) Assets information form.
        (1) The Department shall develop a form, which shall be
    used by the Department to obtain information from all
    committed persons regarding assets of the persons.
        (2) In order to enable the Department to determine the
    financial status of the committed person, the form shall
    provide for obtaining the age and marital status of a
    committed person, the number and ages of children of the
    person, the number and ages of other dependents, the type
    and value of real estate, the type and value of personal
    property, cash and bank accounts, the location of any lock
    boxes, the type and value of investments, pensions and
    annuities and any other personalty of significant cash
    value, including but not limited to jewelry, art work and
    collectables, and all medical or dental insurance policies
    covering the committed person. The form may also provide
    for other information deemed pertinent by the Department in
    the investigation of a committed person's assets.
        (3) Upon being developed, the form shall be submitted
    to each committed person as of the date the form is
    developed and to every committed person who thereafter is
    sentenced to imprisonment under the jurisdiction of the
    Department. The form may be resubmitted to a committed
    person by the Department for purpose of obtaining current
    information regarding the assets of the person.
        (4) Every committed person shall complete the form or
    provide for completion of the form and the committed person
    shall swear under oath or affirm that to the best of his or
    her knowledge the information provided is complete and
    accurate.
    (b) Expenses. The rate at which sums to be charged for the
expenses incurred by a committed person for his or her
confinement shall be computed by the Department as the average
per capita cost per day for all inmates of that institution or
facility for that fiscal year. The average per capita cost per
day shall be computed by the Department based on the average
per capita cost per day for the operation of that institution
or facility for the fiscal year immediately preceding the
period of incarceration for which the rate is being calculated.
The Department shall establish rules and regulations providing
for the computation of the above costs, and shall determine the
average per capita cost per day for each of its institutions or
facilities for each fiscal year. The Department shall have the
power to modify its rules and regulations, so as to provide for
the most accurate and most current average per capita cost per
day computation. Where the committed person is placed in a
facility outside the Department, the Department may pay the
actual cost of services in that facility, and may collect
reimbursement for the entire amount paid from the committed
person receiving those services.
    (c) Records. The records of the Department, including, but
not limited to, those relating to: the average per capita cost
per day for a particular institution or facility for a
particular year, and the calculation of the average per capita
cost per day; the average daily population of a particular
Department correctional institution or facility for a
particular year; the specific placement of a particular
committed person in various Department correctional
institutions or facilities for various periods of time; and the
record of transactions of a particular committed person's trust
account under Section 3-4-3 of this Act; may be proved in any
legal proceeding, by a reproduced copy thereof or by a computer
printout of Department records, under the certificate of the
Director. If reproduced copies are used, the Director must
certify that those are true and exact copies of the records on
file with the Department. If computer printouts of records of
the Department are offered as proof, the Director must certify
that those computer printouts are true and exact
representations of records properly entered into standard
electronic computing equipment, in the regular course of the
Department's business, at or reasonably near the time of the
occurrence of the facts recorded, from trustworthy and reliable
information. The reproduced copy or computer printout shall,
without further proof, be admitted into evidence in any legal
proceeding, and shall be prima facie correct and prima facie
evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.
    (d) Authority. The Director, or the Director's designee,
may, when he or she knows or reasonably believes that a
committed person, or the estate of that person, has assets
which may be used to satisfy all or part of a judgment rendered
under this Act, or when he or she knows or reasonably believes
that a committed person is engaged in gang-related activity and
has a substantial sum of money or other assets, provide for the
forwarding to the Attorney General of a report on the committed
person and that report shall contain a completed form under
subsection (a-5) together with all other information available
concerning the assets of the committed person and an estimate
of the total expenses for that committed person, and authorize
the Attorney General to institute proceedings to require the
persons, or the estates of the persons, to reimburse the
Department for the expenses incurred by their incarceration.
The Attorney General, upon authorization of the Director, or
the Director's designee, shall institute actions on behalf of
the Department and pursue claims on the Department's behalf in
probate and bankruptcy proceedings, to recover from committed
persons the expenses incurred by their confinement. For
purposes of this subsection (d), "gang-related" activity has
the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
    (e) Scope and limitations.
        (1) No action under this Section shall be initiated
    more than 2 years after the release or death of the
    committed person in question.
        (2) The death of a convicted person, by execution or
    otherwise, while committed to a Department correctional
    institution or facility shall not act as a bar to any
    action or proceeding under this Section.
        (3) The assets of a committed person, for the purposes
    of this Section, shall include any property, tangible or
    intangible, real or personal, belonging to or due to a
    committed or formerly committed person including income or
    payments to the person from social security, worker's
    compensation, veteran's compensation, pension benefits, or
    from any other source whatsoever and any and all assets and
    property of whatever character held in the name of the
    person, held for the benefit of the person, or payable or
    otherwise deliverable to the person. Any trust, or portion
    of a trust, of which a convicted person is a beneficiary,
    shall be construed as an asset of the person, to the extent
    that benefits thereunder are required to be paid to the
    person, or shall in fact be paid to the person. At the time
    of a legal proceeding by the Attorney General under this
    Section, if it appears that the committed person has any
    assets which ought to be subjected to the claim of the
    Department under this Section, the court may issue an order
    requiring any person, corporation, or other legal entity
    possessed or having custody of those assets to appropriate
    any of the assets or a portion thereof toward reimbursing
    the Department as provided for under this Section. No
    provision of this Section shall be construed in violation
    of any State or federal limitation on the collection of
    money judgments.
        (4) Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
    Department from applying federal benefits that are
    specifically provided for the care and treatment of a
    committed person toward the cost of care provided by a
    State facility or private agency.

    Sec. 3-12-2. Types of employment.
    (a) The Department may establish, maintain, train and
employ committed persons in industries for the production of
articles, materials or supplies for resale to authorized
purchasers. It may also employ committed persons on public
works, buildings and property, the conservation of natural
resources of the State, anti-pollution or environmental
control projects, or for other public purposes, for the
maintenance of the Department's buildings and properties and
for the production of food or other necessities for its
programs. The Department may establish, maintain and employ
committed persons in the production of vehicle registration
plates. A committed person's labor shall not be sold,
contracted or hired out by the Department except under this
Article and under Section 3-9-2.
    (b) Works of art, literature, handicraft or other items
produced by committed persons as an avocation and not as a
product of a work program of the Department may be sold to the
public under rules and regulations established by the
Department. The cost of selling such products may be deducted
from the proceeds, and the balance shall be credited to the
person's account under Section 3-4-3. The Department shall
notify the Attorney General of the existence of any proceeds
which it believes should be applied towards a satisfaction, in
whole or in part, of the person's incarceration costs.

    (730 ILCS 5/3-12-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-12-5)
    Sec. 3-12-5. Compensation. Persons performing a work
assignment under subsection (a) of Section 3-12-2 may receive
wages under rules and regulations of the Department. In
determining rates of compensation, the Department shall
consider the effort, skill and economic value of the work
performed. Compensation may be given to persons who participate
in other programs of the Department. Of the compensation earned
pursuant to this Section, a portion, as determined by the
Department, shall be used to offset the cost of the committed
person's incarceration. If the committed person files a lawsuit
determined frivolous under Article XXII of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 50% of the compensation shall be used to offset the
filing fees and costs of the lawsuit as provided in that
Article until all fees and costs are paid in full. All other
wages shall be deposited in the individual's account under
rules and regulations of the Department. The Department shall
notify the Attorney General of any compensation applied towards
a satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the person's
incarceration costs.

Article 2.

 
    Section 2-1. Findings; purpose.
    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
        (1) Public Act 89-688, effective June 1, 1997,
    contained provisions amending Sections 31A-1.1 and 31A-1.2
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to bringing
    contraband into a penal institution; possessing contraband
    in a penal institution; and unauthorized bringing of
    contraband into a penal institution by an employee. Public
    Act 89-688 also contained other provisions.
        (2) On October 20, 2000, in People v. Jerry Lee Foster,
    316 Ill. App. 3d 855, the Illinois Appellate Court, Fourth
    District, ruled that Public Act 89-688 violates the single
    subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV,
    Section 8 (d)) and is therefore unconstitutional in its
    entirety. The Illinois Supreme Court agreed with the
    reasoning of that court in People v. Burdunice, 211 Ill. 2d
    264 (2004).
        (3) The provisions added to Sections 31A-1.1 and
    31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 by Public Act 89-688
    are of vital concern to the people of this State. Prompt
    legislative action concerning those provisions is
    necessary.
        (4) Section 31A-1.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 has
    subsequently been amended by Public Act 94-556. Section
    31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 has subsequently been
    amended by Public Acts 90-655, 91-357, and 94-556.
    (b) It is the purpose of this Article 2 to re-enact
Sections 31A-1.1 and 31A-1.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
including the provisions added by Public Act 89-688 and the
subsequent amendment to Section 31A-1.1 by Public Act 94-556
and subsequent amendments to Section 31A-1.2 by Public Acts
90-655, 91-357, and 94-556. This re-enactment is intended to
remove any question as to the validity or content of those
provisions; it is not intended to supersede any other Public
Act that amends the text of the Sections as set forth in this
Article 2. The re-enacted material is shown in this Article 2
as existing text (i.e., without underscoring).
