 1        AN ACT in relation to criminal law.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Criminal  Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
 5    changing Section 33D-1 as follows:

 6        (720 ILCS 5/33D-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 33D-1)
 7        Sec. 33D-1.  (a) Contributing to the criminal delinquency
 8    of  a  juvenile.  Any  person  of  the age of 17 21 years and
 9    upwards, who with the intent to  promote  or  facilitate  the
10    commission   of  an  offense  that  is  either  a  felony  or
11    misdemeanor, solicits, compels or directs  any  person  under
12    the  age of 17 years in the commission of the offense commits
13    the offense of contributing to the criminal delinquency of  a
14    juvenile.
15        (b)  Sentence.  Contributing  to the criminal delinquency
16    of a juvenile is a felony one grade higher than  the  offense
17    committed,  if the offense committed is a felony, except when
18    the offense committed is first degree murder  or  a  Class  X
19    felony.  When the offense committed is first degree murder or
20    a Class  X  felony,  the  penalty  for  contributing  to  the
21    criminal delinquency of a juvenile is the same as the penalty
22    for  first  degree  murder or a Class X felony, respectively.
23    Contributing to the criminal delinquency of a juvenile  is  a
24    misdemeanor  one  grade higher than the offense committed, if
25    the offense committed  is  a  misdemeanor,  except  when  the
26    offense  committed  is a Class A misdemeanor.  If the offense
27    committed  is  a  Class  A  misdemeanor,  the   penalty   for
28    contributing  to  the criminal delinquency of a juvenile is a
29    Class 4 felony.
