12 political subdivision, or any department, agency, or
13 instrumentality thereof. The existence of a criminal
14 conviction or corruption investigation for the alleged
15 violation of this Article is not a prerequisite to any
16 proceeding hereunder, but a final judgment entered in favor of
17 the People of the State of Illinois in any criminal proceeding
18 brought under this Article shall estop the defendant in the
19 criminal case from denying the material allegations of the

23 shall, for any violation of this Article, order criminal or
24 civil forfeiture, in personam or in rem, jointly and severally,
25 of any interest or property the person has acquired or
26 maintained in violation of this Article, or any interest in,

 

 

HB4572 - 16 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 security of, or claim against, or property or contractual right
2 of any kind affording a source of influence of any degree over,
3 any enterprise that the person has established, operated,
4 controlled, conducted, or participated in, in violation of this
5 Article, as well as any property constituting, or derived from,
6 any proceeds, including money, that the person obtained,
7 directly or indirectly, from predicate activity or unlawful
8 debt collection in violation of this Article. Any court, in
9 imposing sentence on such person, shall order, in addition to
10 any other sentence imposed pursuant to this Article, that the
11 person forfeit to the State of Illinois all property described
12 herein. The property and interests subject to criminal or civil
13 forfeiture under this Article include any real property,
14 including things growing on, affixed to, and found in land, and
15 any tangible and intangible personal property, including
16 rights, privileges, interests, claims, and securities. All
17 right, title, and interest in property described in this
18 Article vests in the State of Illinois upon the inception of
19 the illicit agreement or commission of any act otherwise giving
20 rise to forfeiture under this Article. The court shall further
21 order the criminal or civil forfeiture of any other property of
22 the defendant up to the value of the property described herein
23 if, as a result of any act or omission of the defendant, such
24 property subject to forfeiture: (1) cannot be located upon the
25 exercise of due diligence; (2) has been transferred or sold to,
26 or deposited with, a third party; (3) has been placed beyond

 

 

HB4572 - 17 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 the jurisdiction of the court; (4) has been substantially
2 diminished in value; or (5) has been commingled with other
3 property that cannot be divided without difficulty.
4     (d) Any property subject to criminal or civil forfeiture
5 under this Article that is subsequently transferred to a person
6 other than a defendant may be the subject of a special verdict
7 of forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered forfeited to the
8 State of Illinois, unless the transferee petitions the court
9 and establishes in a hearing before the court, without a jury,
10 that he or she is a bona fide purchaser for value of such
11 property who at the time of purchase was reasonably without
12 cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture
13 under this Article. The petition shall be signed by the
14 petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the
15 nature and extent of the petitioner's right, title, or interest
16 in the property, the time and circumstances of the petitioner's
17 acquisition of the right, title, or interest in the property,
18 any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim, and the
19 relief sought. The hearing on the petition shall, to the extent
20 practicable and consistent with the interests of justice, be
21 held as soon as possible after completion of the criminal
22 proceedings, if any, pursuant to this Article. The court may
23 consolidate the hearing on the petition with a hearing on any
24 other petition filed by a person other than the defendant under
25 this Article. Following the court's disposition of all
26 petitions filed under this Article, or if no such petitions are

 

 

HB4572 - 18 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 filed then within 90 days of the completion of criminal or
2 civil proceedings pursuant to this Article, the State of
3 Illinois shall have clear title to property that is the subject
4 of the order of forfeiture and may warrant good title to any
5 subsequent purchaser or transferee. In addition to testimony
6 and evidence presented at the hearing, the court shall consider
7 the relevant portions of the record of any criminal case that
8 resulted in, or relates to, the order of forfeiture. After the
9 hearing, the court shall amend the order of forfeiture if the
10 court determines that the petitioner has established by a
11 preponderance of the evidence that:
12         (1) the petitioner has a legal right, title, or
13     interest in the property, and such right, title, or
14     interest renders the order of forfeiture invalid in whole
15     or in part because the right, title, or interest was vested
16     in the petitioner rather than the defendant or was superior
17     to any right, title, or interest of the defendant at the
18     time of the commission of the acts that gave rise to the
19     forfeiture of the property under this Article; or
20         (2) the petitioner is a bona fide purchaser for value
21     of the right, title, or interest in the property and was at
22     the time of purchase reasonably without cause to believe
23     that the property was subject to forfeiture under this
24     Article.
25     (e) Upon application of a corruption prosecutor, the court
26 may enter a restraining order or injunction, require the

 

 

HB4572 - 19 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 execution of a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other
2 action to preserve the availability of property described
3 herein for forfeiture under this Article:
4         (1) upon the filing of an indictment or information
5     charging a violation of this Article and alleging that the
6     property with respect to which the order is sought would,
7     in the event of conviction, be subject to forfeiture under
8     this Article; or
9         (2) prior to the filing of such an indictment or
10     information, if, after notice to persons appearing to have
11     an interest in the property and opportunity for a hearing,
12     the court determines that: (A) there is a substantial
13     probability that the corruption prosecutor will prevail on
14     the issue of forfeiture and that failure to enter the order
15     will result in the property being destroyed, removed from
16     the jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
17     unavailable for forfeiture; and (B) the need to preserve
18     the availability of the property through the entry of the
19     requested order outweighs the hardship on any party against
20     whom the order is to be entered; Provided that any such
21     order entered be effective for not more than ninety days,
22     unless extended by the court for good cause shown or unless
23     an indictment or information described herein has been
24     filed.
25     A temporary restraining order under this Article may be
26 entered upon application of a corruption prosecutor without

 

 

HB4572 - 20 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 notice or opportunity for a hearing when an information or
2 indictment has not yet been filed with respect to the property,
3 if the corruption prosecutor demonstrates that there is
4 probable cause to believe that the property with respect to
5 which the order is sought would, in the event of conviction, be
6 subject to forfeiture under this Article and that provision of
7 notice will jeopardize the integrity of a corruption
8 investigation, the safety of any persons, or the availability
9 of the property for forfeiture. Such a temporary order shall
10 expire not more than 10 days after the date on which it is
11 entered, unless extended for good cause shown or unless the
12 party against whom it is entered consents to an extension for a
13 longer period. A hearing requested concerning an order entered
14 herein under this Article shall be held at the earliest
15 possible time, and prior to the expiration of the temporary
16 order. The court may receive and consider, at a hearing held
17 pursuant to this Article, evidence and information that would
18 be otherwise inadmissible under the rules of evidence, and such
19 a hearing shall be heard by the court without a jury.
20     (f) Upon conviction of a person under this Article or upon
21 the completion of appropriate civil proceedings under this
22 Article, the court shall enter a judgment of forfeiture of the
23 property to the State of Illinois and shall authorize the
24 corruption prosecutor or his or her agent to seize all property
25 ordered forfeited upon such terms and conditions as the court
26 shall deem proper. Following the entry of an order declaring

 

 

HB4572 - 21 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 the property forfeited, the court may, upon application of a
2 corruption prosecutor or corruption investigator, enter such
3 appropriate restraining orders or injunctions, require the
4 execution of satisfactory performance bonds, appoint
5 receivers, conservators, appraisers, accountants, or trustees,
6 or take any other action to protect the interest of the State
7 of Illinois in the property ordered forfeited. Any income
8 accruing to, or derived from, an enterprise or an interest in
9 an enterprise that has been ordered forfeited under this
10 Article may be used to offset ordinary and necessary expenses
11 to the enterprise which are required by law, or which are
12 necessary to protect the interests of the State of Illinois or
13 third parties.
14     (g) Following the seizure of property ordered forfeited
15 under this Article, the corruption prosecutor or his or her
16 agent shall direct the disposition of the property by sale or
17 any other commercially feasible means, making due provision for
18 the rights of any innocent persons. Any property right or
19 interest not exercisable by, or transferable for value to, the
20 State of Illinois shall expire and shall not revert to the
21 defendant, nor shall the defendant or any person acting in
22 concert with or on behalf of the defendant be eligible to
23 purchase forfeited property at any sale held by the corruption
24 prosecutor or his or her agent. Upon application of a person,
25 other than the defendant or a person acting in concert with or
26 on behalf of the defendant, the court may restrain or stay the

 

 

HB4572 - 22 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 sale or disposition of the property pending the conclusion of
2 any appeal of the criminal case giving rise to the forfeiture,
3 if the applicant demonstrates that proceeding with the sale or
4 disposition of the property will result in irreparable injury,
5 harm or loss to him or her. At the direction of the court, the
6 proceeds of any sale or other disposition of property forfeited
7 under this Article and any moneys forfeited shall be used to
8 pay all proper expenses consisting of the costs of the
9 corruption investigation, the prosecution thereof, and any
10 related remedial proceedings under this Article, as well as the
11 forfeiture and sale, including any expenses of seizure,
12 maintenance or custody of the property pending its disposition,
13 advertising and court costs. The corruption prosecutor shall
14 deposit in the treasury of the State of Illinois 75% of any
15 amounts of the proceeds or moneys remaining after the payment
16 of such proper expenses, which money or proceeds shall
17 thereafter be disposed of as prescribed by law, and the
18 corruption prosecutor shall retain directly the final 25% of
19 such proceeds or moneys for the general purposes of fulfilling
20 the duties of his or her office, or for equitable sharing, as
21 directed by the corruption prosecutor, among those corruption
22 investigators participating in the corruption investigation,
23 the prosecution thereof, and or any related remedial
24 proceedings under this Article.
25     (h) With respect to property ordered forfeited under this
26 Article, the court is authorized to: (1) grant petitions for

 

 

HB4572 - 23 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 mitigation or remission of forfeiture, restore forfeited
2 property to victims of a violation of this Article, or take any
3 other action to protect the rights of innocent persons that is
4 in the interest of justice and that is not inconsistent with
5 the provisions of this Article; (2) compromise claims arising
6 under this Article; (3) award compensation to persons providing
7 information resulting in a forfeiture under this Article; (4)
8 direct the disposition by public sale by the corruption
9 prosecutor or his or her agent of all property ordered
10 forfeited under this Article or direct any other commercially
11 feasible means, making due provision for the rights of innocent
12 persons; and (5) take appropriate measures necessary to
13 safeguard and maintain property ordered forfeited under this
14 Article pending its disposition.
15     (i) Except as provided herein, no party claiming an
16 interest in property subject to forfeiture under this Article
17 may: (1) intervene in any trial or appeal of a criminal case
18 involving the forfeiture of such property under this Article;
19 or (2) commence an action at law or equity against the State of
20 Illinois, or against any corruption prosecutor or corruption
21 investigator, concerning the actions taken under this Article
22 or concerning the validity of an alleged interest in the
23 property subsequent to the filing of an indictment or
24 information alleging that the property is subject to forfeiture
25 under this Article.
26     (j) In order to facilitate the identification or location

 

 

HB4572 - 24 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 of property declared forfeited and to facilitate the
2 disposition of petitions for remission or mitigation of
3 forfeiture, after the entry of an order declaring property
4 forfeited to the State of Illinois, the court may, upon
5 application of the corruption prosecutor, order that the
6 testimony of any witness relating to the property forfeited be
7 taken by deposition and that any designated book, paper,
8 document, record, recording, or other material not privileged
9 be produced at the same time and place, in the same manner as
10 provided for the taking of depositions in civil proceedings
11 under the laws of the State of Illinois.

13     Sec. 33G-7. Severability. If any clause, sentence, Section
14 or provision, or part of this Article or the application
15 thereof to any person or circumstance shall be adjudged to be
16 unconstitutional, the remainder of this Article or its
17 application to any person or circumstances other than those to
18 which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.
 
19     (720 ILCS 5/33G-8 new)
20     Sec. 33G-8. Construction. In interpreting the provisions
21 of this Article, the court, because of their remedial purposes,
22 shall construe them liberally. Nothing in this Article shall
23 preclude the imposition of additional criminal penalties under
24 any provision of Federal law, or the laws of the State of

 

 

HB4572 - 25 - LRB096 13113 RLC 27483 b

1 Illinois or Another State, or any other law, or the affording
2 of any civil or administrative remedies in addition to those
3 provided for in this Article. In addition, the court shall
4 construe this Article in light of the provisions contained in
5 Title IX of Public Law 91-452, 84 Stat. 922 (as amended in
6 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1961-1968), wherever
7 substantially similar language is used in such Title and this
8 Article, but where such language indicates an intent to depart
9 from such Title, the court shall interpret the language as
10 herein provided.
