13		affirmed on appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate
14		back to the time the original judgment of conviction was
15		entered and the 6-month limitation prescribed shall not apply.
16		(c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or

22		2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license
23		of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this
24		Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an
25		occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit is
26		properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a permit

HB4500 Engrossed - 25 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		issued prior to the effective date of the suspension, unless 5
2		offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred while

14		permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
15		regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
16		Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
17		privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set
18		forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section. If an
19		affidavit is received subsequent to the effective date of this
20		suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder of the
21		suspension period.
22		The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any
23		driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a
24		commercial motor vehicle.
25		Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit
26		required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302

4		this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or
5		continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order
6		of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind,
7		continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the
8		Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary
9		may upon application, to relieve undue hardship (as defined by
10		the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted
11		driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
12		vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's
13		place of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
14		employment-related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
15		transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
16		petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
17		necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport
18		himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug remedial or
19		rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service
20		provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or
21		herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to
22		classes, as a student, at an accredited educational
23		institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children,
24		elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold
25		driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's
26		household to and from daycare. The petitioner must demonstrate

HB4500 Engrossed - 27 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
2		available and that the petitioner will not endanger the public
3		safety or welfare.
4		(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
5		suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating
6		Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
7		local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
8		Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
9		Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
10		recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
11		out-of-state offense, or a combination of these offenses,
12		arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if
13		issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
14		vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
15		interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
16		(B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
17		suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
18		(i) a single conviction of violating Section
19		11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
20		ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or Section
21		9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
22		of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
23		recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
24		out-of-state offense; or
25		(ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
26		under Section 11-501.1; or

HB4500 Engrossed - 28 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
2		arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if
3		issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a
4		vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
5		interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
6		(B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
7		suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
8		subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
9		of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
10		local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that
11		person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
12		operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
13		ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
14		(C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the
15		use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the
16		Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not
17		to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by
18		rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
19		relating to these fees.
20		(D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
21		employment purposes, then the prohibition against
22		operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
23		ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
24		of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that
25		person's employer when used solely for employment
26		purposes. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is

HB4500 Engrossed - 29 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section
2		11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local
3		ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment
4		exemption does not apply until either a one-year period
5		has elapsed during which that person had his or her
6		driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has
7		elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving
8		permit which required the use of an ignition interlock
9		device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that
10		person.
11		(E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
12		driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except
13		that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from
14		the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued
15		under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
16		revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
17		like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
18		issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
19		suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
20		offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
21		movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
22		the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
23		restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
24		a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
25		permit, require the applicant to participate in a
26		designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The

HB4500 Engrossed - 30 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted
2		driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully
3		complete the program.
4		(F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
5		of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
6		application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
7		conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
8		expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
9		recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of
10		release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a
11		conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later,
12		provided the person, in addition to all other requirements
13		of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
14		(i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
15		abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
16		consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
17		Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois
18		Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
19		under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
20		methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and
21		Community Protection Act; and
22		(ii) the successful completion of any
23		rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
24		ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
25		recommended by a properly licensed service provider
26		according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or

HB4500 Engrossed - 31 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
2		In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
3		restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
4		Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
5		but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
6		the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
7		subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)
8		of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted
9		of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph
10		(4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501
11		of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a
12		restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
13		A restricted driving permit issued under this
14		subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
15		operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
16		device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c)
17		of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
18		paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
19		Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
20		the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
21		this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle
22		that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or
23		for any other reason authorized under this Code.
24		A restricted driving permit issued under this
25		subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
26		from applying for or being issued a restricted driving

HB4500 Engrossed - 32 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
2		violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
3		provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
4		another state.
5		(c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
6		subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
7		under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
8		suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
9		only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
10		the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
11		Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
12		under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
13		person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
14		available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
15		state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
16		driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
17		request.
18		(c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
19		subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
20		by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's
21		license will be suspended one month after the date of the
22		mailing of the notice.
23		(c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
24		reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
25		whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
26		or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the

HB4500 Engrossed - 33 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
2		participate in a driver remedial education course and be
3		retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
4		(d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
5		Driver License Compact.
6		(e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
7		driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
8		driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
9		provisions of this Code.
10		(f) In accordance with 49 CFR 384, the Secretary of State
11		may not issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of
12		a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a CDL whose
13		driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or

20		murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony,
21		and within 24 hours if the defendant is charged with a
22		Class 4 or misdemeanor offense. The Court may deny or
23		grant the request for continuance. If the court decides to
24		grant the continuance, the Court retains the discretion to
25		detain or release the defendant in the time between the
26		filing of the petition and the hearing.

HB4500 Engrossed - 88 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(d) Contents of petition.
2		(1) The petition shall be verified by the State and
3		shall state the grounds upon which it contends the
4		defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the
5		real and present threat to the safety of any person or
6		persons or the community, based on the specific
7		articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate.
8		(2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent
9		petition under this Section, the State shall be required
10		to present a verified application setting forth in detail
11		any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the
12		filing of the previous petition.
13		(e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
14		for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
15		proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
16		(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
17		the defendant has committed an offense listed in
18		subsection (a), and
19		(2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
20		of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present
21		threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
22		community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
23		case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
24		a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
25		intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
26		of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of

HB4500 Engrossed - 89 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		1986, and
2		(3) no condition or combination of conditions set
3		forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
4		can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
5		of any person or persons or the community, based on the
6		specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
7		listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or
8		(ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in
9		paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
10		(4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
11		of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject
12		to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
13		combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
14		Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
15		present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
16		the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
17		the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
18		appear in court as required.
19		(f) Conduct of the hearings.
20		(1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to
21		the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
22		available, any written or recorded statements, and the
23		substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
24		relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
25		reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
26		hearing.

HB4500 Engrossed - 90 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
2		hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
3		(3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
4		counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
5		appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
6		opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
7		own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
8		called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given
9		adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
10		any hearing at which conditions of release or the
11		detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an
12		accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
13		attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
14		confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
15		conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system,
16		such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
17		undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
18		(3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
19		denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of
20		two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused
21		waives the right to be present physically in court, the
22		court determines that the physical health and safety of
23		any person necessary to the proceedings would be
24		endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of
25		the circuit orders use of that system due to operational
26		challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such

HB4500 Engrossed - 91 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		operational challenges must be documented and approved by
2		the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
3		challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented
4		and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois
5		Courts every 6 months.
6		(4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
7		witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall
8		petition the court for permission. When the ends of
9		justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
10		and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
11		court shall state on the record reasons for granting a
12		defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
13		witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
14		detention. In making a determination under this Section,
15		the court shall state on the record the reason for
16		granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
17		complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
18		court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
19		defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
20		witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
21		complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
22		the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
23		insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
24		In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
25		complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
26		emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The

HB4500 Engrossed - 92 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
2		of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
3		do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
4		prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
5		criminal history, if available, and any written or
6		recorded statements and the substance of any oral
7		statements made by any person, if in the State's
8		Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.
9		(5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
10		in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
11		consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
12		concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
13		neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
14		other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
15		State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
16		impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
17		Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
18		(6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
19		a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
20		crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
21		seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
22		relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
23		the defendant.
24		(7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
25		release, and detention prior to trial must be
26		individualized, and no single factor or standard may be

HB4500 Engrossed - 93 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
2		may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
3		(g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
4		dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
5		defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
6		person or persons or the community, based on the specific
7		articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be
8		limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
9		(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
10		charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
11		violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
12		(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
13		including:
14		(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
15		history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
16		behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
17		include testimony or documents received in juvenile
18		proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
19		commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.
20		(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
21		psychiatric or other similar social history which
22		tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
23		nature, or lack of any such history.
24		(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
25		safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
26		nature of the threat.

HB4500 Engrossed - 94 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
2		defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
3		them.
4		(5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
5		(6) The age and physical condition of any victim or
6		complaining witness.
7		(7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
8		access to any weapon or weapons.
9		(8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
10		other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
11		parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
12		other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
13		appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
14		federal or state law.
15		(9) Any other factors, including those listed in
16		Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
17		reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
18		reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior,
19		or lack of such behavior.
20		(h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
21		detention:
22		(1) make a written finding summarizing the court's
23		reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied
24		pretrial release, including why less restrictive
25		conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to
26		the safety of any person or persons or the community,

HB4500 Engrossed - 95 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or
2		prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;
3		(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
4		custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
5		pending trial;
6		(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
7		opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
8		communication with others of his or her choice by
9		visitation, mail and telephone; and
10		(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
11		required for appearances in connection with court
12		proceedings.
13		(i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the
14		detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this
15		Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the
16		offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date
17		on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant
18		is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by
19		the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial
20		release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit
21		any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at
22		the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting
23		from a continuance granted at the request of the State with
24		good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5.
25		(i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant
26		before the court, the judge must find that continued detention

HB4500 Engrossed - 96 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety
2		of any person or persons or the community, based on the
3		specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the
4		defendant's willful flight from prosecution.
5		(j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be
6		entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section
7		denying his or her pretrial release.
8		(k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under
9		this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial
10		release.
11		(l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section
12		shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the
13		defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal
14		proceedings.
15		(m) Interest of victims.
16		(1) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's
17		Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1)
18		of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims
19		and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity
20		at this hearing to obtain a protective order.
21		(2) If the defendant is denied pretrial release, the court
22		may impose a no contact provision with the victim or other
23		interested party that shall be enforced while the defendant
24		remains in custody.

4		Justice shall not award sentence credit under this paragraph
5		(3) to an inmate unless the inmate has served a minimum of 60
6		days of the sentence, including time served in a county jail;
7		except nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit
8		either Director to extend an inmate's sentence beyond that
9		which was imposed by the court. Prior to awarding credit under
10		this paragraph (3), each Director shall make a written
11		determination that the inmate:
12		(A) is eligible for the earned sentence credit;
13		(B) has served a minimum of 60 days, or as close to 60
14		days as the sentence will allow;
15		(B-1) has received a risk/needs assessment or other

22		determination required in this subsection.

24		to the Governor and the General Assembly on the award of earned
25		sentence credit no later than February 1 of each year. The

12		that any prisoner who is engaged full-time in substance abuse
13		programs, correctional industry assignments, educational
14		programs, work-release programs or activities in accordance
15		with Article 13 of Chapter III of this Code, behavior
16		modification programs, life skills courses, or re-entry
17		planning provided by the Department under this paragraph (4)
18		and satisfactorily completes the assigned program as
19		determined by the standards of the Department, shall receive
20		one day of sentence credit for each day in which that prisoner
21		is engaged in the activities described in this paragraph. The
22		rules and regulations shall also provide that sentence credit
23		may be provided to an inmate who was held in pre-trial
24		detention prior to his or her current commitment to the
25		Department of Corrections and successfully completed a
26		full-time, 60-day or longer substance abuse program,

1		educational program, behavior modification program, life
2		skills course, or re-entry planning provided by the county
3		department of corrections or county jail. Calculation of this
4		county program credit shall be done at sentencing as provided
5		in Section 5-4.5-100 of this Code and shall be included in the
6		sentencing order. The rules and regulations shall also provide
7		that sentence credit may be provided to an inmate who is in
8		compliance with programming requirements in an adult
9		transition center.
10		(B) The Department shall award sentence credit under this
11		paragraph (4) accumulated prior to January 1, 2020 (the
12		effective date of Public Act 101-440) in an amount specified
13		in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph (4) to an inmate serving
14		a sentence for an offense committed prior to June 19, 1998, if
15		the Department determines that the inmate is entitled to this
16		sentence credit, based upon:
17		(i) documentation provided by the Department that the
18		inmate engaged in any full-time substance abuse programs,
19		correctional industry assignments, educational programs,
20		behavior modification programs, life skills courses, or
21		re-entry planning provided by the Department under this
22		paragraph (4) and satisfactorily completed the assigned
23		program as determined by the standards of the Department
24		during the inmate's current term of incarceration; or
25		(ii) the inmate's own testimony in the form of an

HB4500 Engrossed - 108 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		documentation or testimony in the form of an affidavit
2		that the inmate likely engaged in any full-time substance
3		abuse programs, correctional industry assignments,
4		educational programs, behavior modification programs, life
5		skills courses, or re-entry planning provided by the
6		Department under paragraph (4) and satisfactorily
7		completed the assigned program as determined by the
8		standards of the Department during the inmate's current
9		term of incarceration.
10		(C) If the inmate can provide documentation that he or she
11		is entitled to sentence credit under subparagraph (B) in
12		excess of 45 days of participation in those programs, the
13		inmate shall receive 90 days of sentence credit. If the inmate
14		cannot provide documentation of more than 45 days of
15		participation in those programs, the inmate shall receive 45
16		days of sentence credit. In the event of a disagreement
17		between the Department and the inmate as to the amount of
18		credit accumulated under subparagraph (B), if the Department
19		provides documented proof of a lesser amount of days of
20		participation in those programs, that proof shall control. If
21		the Department provides no documentary proof, the inmate's
22		proof as set forth in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) shall
23		control as to the amount of sentence credit provided.
24		(D) If the inmate has been convicted of a sex offense as
25		defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act,
26		sentencing credits under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph

HB4500 Engrossed - 109 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(4) shall be awarded by the Department only if the conditions
2		set forth in paragraph (4.6) of subsection (a) are satisfied.
3		No inmate serving a term of natural life imprisonment shall
4		receive sentence credit under subparagraph (B) of this
5		paragraph (4).
6		(E) The rules and regulations shall provide for the
7		recalculation of program credits awarded pursuant to this
8		paragraph (4) prior to July 1, 2021 (the effective date of
9		Public Act 101-652) at the rate set for such credits on and
10		after July 1, 2021.
11		Educational, vocational, substance abuse, behavior
12		modification programs, life skills courses, re-entry planning,
13		and correctional industry programs under which sentence credit
14		may be earned under this paragraph (4) and paragraph (4.1) of
15		this subsection (a) shall be evaluated by the Department on
16		the basis of documented standards. The Department shall report
17		the results of these evaluations to the Governor and the
18		General Assembly by September 30th of each year. The reports
19		shall include data relating to the recidivism rate among
20		program participants.
21		Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
22		limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
23		Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied
24		immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting list under
25		criteria established by the Department. The rules and
26		regulations shall provide that a prisoner who has been placed

HB4500 Engrossed - 110 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		on a waiting list but is transferred for non-disciplinary
2		reasons before beginning a program shall receive priority
3		placement on the waitlist for appropriate programs at the new
4		facility. The inability of any inmate to become engaged in any
5		such programs by reason of insufficient program resources or
6		for any other reason established under the rules and
7		regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause of
8		action under which the Department or any employee or agent of
9		the Department shall be liable for damages to the inmate. The
10		rules and regulations shall provide that a prisoner who begins
11		an educational, vocational, substance abuse, work-release
12		programs or activities in accordance with Article 13 of
13		Chapter III of this Code, behavior modification program, life
14		skills course, re-entry planning, or correctional industry
15		programs but is unable to complete the program due to illness,
16		disability, transfer, lockdown, or another reason outside of
17		the prisoner's control shall receive prorated sentence credits
18		for the days in which the prisoner did participate.
19		(4.1) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this
20		subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall also provide
21		that an additional 90 days of sentence credit shall be awarded
22		to any prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing
23		while the prisoner is committed to the Department of
24		Corrections. The sentence credit awarded under this paragraph
25		(4.1) shall be in addition to, and shall not affect, the award
26		of sentence credit under any other paragraph of this Section,

HB4500 Engrossed - 111 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		but shall also be pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions
2		set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section.
3		The sentence credit provided for in this paragraph shall be
4		available only to those prisoners who have not previously
5		earned a high school diploma or a State of Illinois High School
6		Diploma. If, after an award of the high school equivalency
7		testing sentence credit has been made, the Department
8		determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award
9		shall be revoked. The Department may also award 90 days of
10		sentence credit to any committed person who passed high school
11		equivalency testing while he or she was held in pre-trial
12		detention prior to the current commitment to the Department of
13		Corrections. Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this
14		subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall provide that
15		an additional 120 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to
16		any prisoner who obtains an associate degree while the
17		prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections,
18		regardless of the date that the associate degree was obtained,
19		including if prior to July 1, 2021 (the effective date of
20		Public Act 101-652). The sentence credit awarded under this
21		paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and shall not affect,
22		the award of sentence credit under any other paragraph of this
23		Section, but shall also be under the guidelines and
24		restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of
25		this Section. The sentence credit provided for in this
26		paragraph (4.1) shall be available only to those prisoners who

HB4500 Engrossed - 112 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		have not previously earned an associate degree prior to the
2		current commitment to the Department of Corrections. If, after
3		an award of the associate degree sentence credit has been made
4		and the Department determines that the prisoner was not
5		eligible, then the award shall be revoked. The Department may
6		also award 120 days of sentence credit to any committed person
7		who earned an associate degree while he or she was held in
8		pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the
9		Department of Corrections.
10		Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this subsection
11		(a), the rules and regulations shall provide that an
12		additional 180 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any
13		prisoner who obtains a bachelor's degree while the prisoner is
14		committed to the Department of Corrections. The sentence
15		credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition
16		to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence credit under
17		any other paragraph of this Section, but shall also be under
18		the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) of
19		this subsection (a). The sentence credit provided for in this
20		paragraph shall be available only to those prisoners who have
21		not earned a bachelor's degree prior to the current commitment
22		to the Department of Corrections. If, after an award of the
23		bachelor's degree sentence credit has been made, the
24		Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then
25		the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180
26		days of sentence credit to any committed person who earned a

HB4500 Engrossed - 113 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		bachelor's degree while he or she was held in pre-trial
2		detention prior to the current commitment to the Department of
3		Corrections.
4		Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this subsection
5		(a), the rules and regulations shall provide that an
6		additional 180 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any
7		prisoner who obtains a master's or professional degree while
8		the prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections.
9		The sentence credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall
10		be in addition to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence
11		credit under any other paragraph of this Section, but shall
12		also be under the guidelines and restrictions set forth in
13		paragraph (4) of this subsection (a). The sentence credit
14		provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to
15		those prisoners who have not previously earned a master's or
16		professional degree prior to the current commitment to the
17		Department of Corrections. If, after an award of the master's
18		or professional degree sentence credit has been made, the
19		Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then
20		the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180
21		days of sentence credit to any committed person who earned a
22		master's or professional degree while he or she was held in
23		pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the
24		Department of Corrections.
25		(4.2)(A) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
26		any prisoner engaged in self-improvement programs, volunteer

HB4500 Engrossed - 114 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		work, or work assignments that are not otherwise eligible
2		activities under paragraph (4), shall receive up to 0.5 days
3		of sentence credit for each day in which the prisoner is
4		engaged in activities described in this paragraph.
5		(B) The rules and regulations shall provide for the award
6		of sentence credit under this paragraph (4.2) for qualifying
7		days of engagement in eligible activities occurring prior to
8		July 1, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act 101-652).
9		(4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
10		also provide that when the court's sentencing order recommends
11		a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was
12		committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
13		Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
14		credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
15		he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
16		treatment program. The Director of Corrections may waive the
17		requirement to participate in or complete a substance abuse
18		treatment program in specific instances if the prisoner is not
19		a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment program for
20		medical, programming, or operational reasons. Availability of
21		substance abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of
22		fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly for
23		these purposes. If treatment is not available and the
24		requirement to participate and complete the treatment has not
25		been waived by the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a
26		waiting list under criteria established by the Department. The

HB4500 Engrossed - 115 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		Director may allow a prisoner placed on a waiting list to
2		participate in and complete a substance abuse education class
3		or attend substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a
4		substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting
5		list who is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to
6		release may be eligible for a waiver and receive sentence
7		credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
8		discretion of the Director.
9		(4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall
10		also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex
11		offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
12		Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or
13		she either has successfully completed or is participating in
14		sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender
15		Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to
16		receive treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to
17		the lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at
18		either Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit
19		at a rate as the Director shall determine.
20		(4.7) On or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of
21		Public Act 100-3), sentence credit under paragraph (3), (4),
22		or (4.1) of this subsection (a) may be awarded to a prisoner
23		who is serving a sentence for an offense described in
24		paragraph (2), (2.3), (2.4), (2.5), or (2.6) for credit earned
25		on or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act
26		100-3); provided, the award of the credits under this

HB4500 Engrossed - 116 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		paragraph (4.7) shall not reduce the sentence of the prisoner
2		to less than the following amounts:
3		(i) 85% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is
4		required to serve 85% of his or her sentence; or
5		(ii) 60% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is
6		required to serve 75% of his or her sentence, except if the
7		prisoner is serving a sentence for gunrunning his or her
8		sentence shall not be reduced to less than 75%.
9		(iii) 100% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is
10		required to serve 100% of his or her sentence.
11		(5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate
12		earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of earned
13		sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
14		Section given at any time during the term, the Department
15		shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not less
16		than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's
17		Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate
18		took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney of the
19		county into which the inmate will be released. The Department
20		must also make identification information and a recent photo
21		of the inmate being released accessible on the Internet by
22		means of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate
23		Early Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage.
24		The identification information shall include the inmate's:
25		name, any known alias, date of birth, physical
26		characteristics, commitment offense, and county where

HB4500 Engrossed - 117 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		conviction was imposed. The identification information shall
2		be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release
3		and the information may not be removed until either:
4		completion of the first year of mandatory supervised release
5		or return of the inmate to custody of the Department.
6		(b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
7		several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
8		shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
9		forfeiting of sentence credit.
10		(c) (1) The Department shall prescribe rules and
11		regulations for revoking sentence credit, including revoking
12		sentence credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a)
13		of this Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and
14		regulations establishing and requiring the use of a sanctions
15		matrix for revoking sentence credit. The Department shall
16		prescribe rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the
17		rate of accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule
18		violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
19		shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
20		year of sentence credit for any one infraction.
21		(2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or
22		reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an
23		alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
24		therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
25		sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided
26		in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the

HB4500 Engrossed - 118 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days, whether from one
2		infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising
3		out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the
4		cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except
5		where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days
6		of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of
7		Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The
8		Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional
9		sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence
10		credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be
11		empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to
12		the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year
13		for any prisoner or to increase any penalty beyond the length
14		requested by the Department.
15		(3) The Director of Corrections or the Director of
16		Juvenile Justice, in appropriate cases, may restore sentence
17		credits which have been revoked, suspended, or reduced. The
18		Department shall prescribe rules and regulations governing the
19		restoration of sentence credits. These rules and regulations
20		shall provide for the automatic restoration of sentence
21		credits following a period in which the prisoner maintains a
22		record without a disciplinary violation.
23		Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
24		Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
25		3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
26		sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the

HB4500 Engrossed - 119 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		accumulation of sentence credit.
2		(d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
3		federal court against the State, the Department of
4		Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
5		their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
6		finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the
7		prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall
8		conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit
9		by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived
10		of the sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
11		provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
12		If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence
13		credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
14		Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the
15		prisoner.
16		For purposes of this subsection (d):
17		(1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or
18		other filing which purports to be a legal document filed
19		by a prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the
20		following criteria:
21		(A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in
22		fact;
23		(B) it is being presented for any improper
24		purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary
25		delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation;
26		(C) the claims, defenses, and other legal

HB4500 Engrossed - 120 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
2		or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
3		modification, or reversal of existing law or the
4		establishment of new law;
5		(D) the allegations and other factual contentions
6		do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
7		identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support
8		after a reasonable opportunity for further
9		investigation or discovery; or
10		(E) the denials of factual contentions are not
11		warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
12		identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
13		information or belief.
14		(2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3
15		of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus
16		action under Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or
17		under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254), a petition for claim
18		under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the federal
19		Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or
20		subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under
21		Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963
22		whether filed with or without leave of court or a second or
23		subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section
24		2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
25		(e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the
26		validity of Public Act 89-404.

1		(f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who
2		has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection
3		under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
4		the Criminal Code of 2012, earlier than it otherwise would
5		because of a grant of sentence credit, the Department, as a
6		condition of release, shall require that the person, upon
7		release, be placed under electronic surveillance as provided
8		in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

16		(a) The following factors shall be accorded weight in
17		favor of imposing a term of imprisonment or may be considered

3		Sec. 5-6-3.6. First Time Weapon Offense Program.
4		(a) The General Assembly has sought to promote public
5		safety, reduce recidivism, and conserve valuable resources of
6		the criminal justice system through the creation of diversion
7		programs for non-violent offenders. This amendatory Act of the
8		103rd General Assembly establishes a program for first-time,
9		non-violent offenders charged with certain weapons possession
10		offenses. The General Assembly recognizes some persons,
11		particularly in areas of high crime or poverty, may have
12		experienced trauma that contributes to poor decision making
13		skills, and the creation of a diversionary program poses a
14		greater benefit to the community and the person than
15		incarceration. Under this program, a court, with the consent
16		of the defendant and the State's Attorney, may sentence a
17		defendant charged with an unlawful possession use of weapons
18		offense under Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 or
19		aggravated unlawful possession use of a weapon offense under
20		Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if punishable as a
21		Class 4 felony or lower, to a First Time Weapon Offense
22		Program.
23		(b) A defendant is not eligible for this Program if:
24		(1) the offense was committed during the commission of
25		a violent offense as defined in subsection (h) of this

HB4500 Engrossed - 139 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		Section;
2		(2) he or she has previously been convicted or placed
3		on probation or conditional discharge for any violent
4		offense under the laws of this State, the laws of any other
5		state, or the laws of the United States;
6		(3) he or she had a prior successful completion of the
7		First Time Weapon Offense Program under this Section;
8		(4) he or she has previously been adjudicated a
9		delinquent minor for the commission of a violent offense;
10		(5) (blank); or
11		(6) he or she has an existing order of protection
12		issued against him or her.
13		(b-5) In considering whether a defendant shall be
14		sentenced to the First Time Weapon Offense Program, the court
15		shall consider the following:
16		(1) the age, immaturity, or limited mental capacity of
17		the defendant;
18		(2) the nature and circumstances of the offense;
19		(3) whether participation in the Program is in the
20		interest of the defendant's rehabilitation, including any
21		employment or involvement in community, educational,
22		training, or vocational programs;
23		(4) whether the defendant suffers from trauma, as
24		supported by documentation or evaluation by a licensed
25		professional; and
26		(5) the potential risk to public safety.

1		(c) For an offense committed on or after January 1, 2018
2		(the effective date of Public Act 100-3) whenever an
		eligible
3		person pleads guilty to an unlawful possession use
		of weapons
4		offense under Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 or
5		aggravated unlawful possession use of a weapon offense under
6		Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of 2012, which is
7		punishable as a Class 4 felony or lower, the court, with the
8		consent of the defendant and the State's Attorney, may,
9		without entering a judgment, sentence the defendant to
10		complete the First Time Weapon Offense Program. When a
11		defendant is placed in the Program, the court shall defer
12		further proceedings in the case until the conclusion of the
13		period or until the filing of a petition alleging violation of
14		a term or condition of the Program. Upon violation of a term or
15		condition of the Program, the court may enter a judgment on its
16		original finding of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided by
17		law. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the
18		Program, the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the
19		proceedings against the person.
20		(d) The Program shall be at least 6 months and not to
21		exceed 24 months, as determined by the court at the
22		recommendation of the Program administrator and the State's
23		Attorney. The Program administrator may be appointed by the
24		Chief Judge of each Judicial Circuit.
25		(e) The conditions of the Program shall be that the
26		defendant:

HB4500 Engrossed - 141 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		(1) not violate any criminal statute of this State or
2		any other jurisdiction;
3		(2) refrain from possessing a firearm or other
4		dangerous weapon;
5		(3) (blank);
6		(4) (blank);
7		(5) (blank);
8		(6) (blank);
9		(7) attend and participate in any Program activities
10		deemed required by the Program administrator, such as:
11		counseling sessions, in-person and over the phone
12		check-ins, and educational classes; and
13		(8) (blank).
14		(f) The Program may, in addition to other conditions,
15		require that the defendant:
16		(1) obtain or attempt to obtain employment;
17		(2) attend educational courses designed to prepare the
18		defendant for obtaining a high school diploma or to work
19		toward passing high school equivalency testing or to work
20		toward completing a vocational training program;
21		(3) refrain from having in his or her body the
22		presence of any illicit drug prohibited by the
23		Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act or
24		the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, unless prescribed
25		by a physician, and submit samples of his or her blood or
26		urine or both for tests to determine the presence of any

HB4500 Engrossed - 142 - LRB103 36506 RLC 66612 b
1		illicit drug;
2		(4) perform community service;
3		(5) pay all fines, assessments, fees, and costs; and
4		(6) comply with such other reasonable conditions as
5		the court may impose.
6		(g) There may be only one discharge and dismissal under
7		this Section. If a person is convicted of any offense which
8		occurred within 5 years subsequent to a discharge and
9		dismissal under this Section, the discharge and dismissal
10		under this Section shall be admissible in the sentencing
11		proceeding for that conviction as evidence in aggravation.
12		(h) For purposes of this Section, "violent offense" means
13		any offense in which bodily harm was inflicted or force was
14		used against any person or threatened against any person; any
15		offense involving the possession of a firearm or dangerous
16		weapon; any offense involving sexual conduct, sexual
17		penetration, or sexual exploitation; violation of an order of
18		protection, stalking, hate crime, domestic battery, or any
19		offense of domestic violence.
20		(i) (Blank).
