A BILL FOR

 

HB1483 LRB094 05026 RLC 37106 b

1     AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
5 changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
 
6     (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
7     Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
8 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly
9 finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
10 system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
11 by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
12 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
13 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
14 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
15 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
16 supervision.
17     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
18 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
19 probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
20 having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
21 and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
22 the court is of the opinion that:
23         (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
24     necessary for the protection of the public; or
25         (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
26     the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
27     inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
28         (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
29     consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
30     into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
31     Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
32     public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.

 

 

HB1483 - 2 - LRB094 05026 RLC 37106 b

1     The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
2 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
3 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
4 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
5 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
6 sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
7 subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
8     (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
9 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
10 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
11 nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
12     (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
13 by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
14 finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
15 of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
16 defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
17 misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
18 Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5; 31-1;
19 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section 21-1; paragraph
20 (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection (a) of
21 Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of Section
22 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals Act; or
23 (iii) felony. If the defendant is not barred from receiving an
24 order for supervision as provided in this subsection, the court
25 may enter an order for supervision after considering the
26 circumstances of the offense, and the history, character and
27 condition of the offender, if the court is of the opinion that:
28         (1) the offender is not likely to commit further
29     crimes;
30         (2) the defendant and the public would be best served
31     if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
32         (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
33     supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
34     permitted under this Code.
35     (d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
36 defendant charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois

25     Criminal Code of 1961; or
26         (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
27     16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
