AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 3529

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3529 on page 6, by
3inserting immediately below line 5 the following:
 
4    "Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
5changing Section 5-5-6 as follows:
 
6    (730 ILCS 5/5-5-6)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-6)
7    Sec. 5-5-6. In all convictions for offenses in violation of
8the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or of
9Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code in which the person
10received any injury to his or her person or damage to his or
11her real or personal property as a result of the criminal act
12of the defendant, the court shall order restitution as provided
13in this Section. In all other cases, except cases in which
14restitution is required under this Section, the court must at
15the sentence hearing determine whether restitution is an
16appropriate sentence to be imposed on each defendant convicted

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 2 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1of an offense. If the court determines that an order directing
2the offender to make restitution is appropriate, the offender
3may be sentenced to make restitution. The court may consider
4restitution an appropriate sentence to be imposed on each
5defendant convicted of an offense in addition to a sentence of
6imprisonment. The sentence of the defendant to a term of
7imprisonment is not a mitigating factor that prevents the court
8from ordering the defendant to pay restitution. If the offender
9is sentenced to make restitution the Court shall determine the
10restitution as hereinafter set forth:
11        (a) At the sentence hearing, the court shall determine
12    whether the property may be restored in kind to the
13    possession of the owner or the person entitled to
14    possession thereof; or whether the defendant is possessed
15    of sufficient skill to repair and restore property damaged;
16    or whether the defendant should be required to make
17    restitution in cash, for out-of-pocket expenses, damages,
18    losses, or injuries found to have been proximately caused
19    by the conduct of the defendant or another for whom the
20    defendant is legally accountable under the provisions of
21    Article 5 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
22    of 2012.
23        (b) In fixing the amount of restitution to be paid in
24    cash, the court shall allow credit for property returned in
25    kind, for property damages ordered to be repaired by the
26    defendant, and for property ordered to be restored by the

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 3 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    defendant; and after granting the credit, the court shall
2    assess the actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages,
3    and injuries suffered by the victim named in the charge and
4    any other victims who may also have suffered out-of-pocket
5    expenses, losses, damages, and injuries proximately caused
6    by the same criminal conduct of the defendant, and
7    insurance carriers who have indemnified the named victim or
8    other victims for the out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
9    damages, or injuries, provided that in no event shall
10    restitution be ordered to be paid on account of pain and
11    suffering. When a victim's out-of-pocket expenses have
12    been paid pursuant to the Crime Victims Compensation Act,
13    the court shall order restitution be paid to the
14    compensation program. If a defendant is placed on
15    supervision for, or convicted of, domestic battery, the
16    defendant shall be required to pay restitution to any
17    domestic violence shelter in which the victim and any other
18    family or household members lived because of the domestic
19    battery. The amount of the restitution shall equal the
20    actual expenses of the domestic violence shelter in
21    providing housing and any other services for the victim and
22    any other family or household members living at the
23    shelter. If a defendant fails to pay restitution in the
24    manner or within the time period specified by the court,
25    the court may enter an order directing the sheriff to seize
26    any real or personal property of a defendant to the extent

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 4 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    necessary to satisfy the order of restitution and dispose
2    of the property by public sale. All proceeds from such sale
3    in excess of the amount of restitution plus court costs and
4    the costs of the sheriff in conducting the sale shall be
5    paid to the defendant. The defendant convicted of domestic
6    battery, if a person under 18 years of age was present and
7    witnessed the domestic battery of the victim, is liable to
8    pay restitution for the cost of any counseling required for
9    the child at the discretion of the court.
10        (c) In cases where more than one defendant is
11    accountable for the same criminal conduct that results in
12    out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries, each
13    defendant shall be ordered to pay restitution in the amount
14    of the total actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
15    damages, or injuries to the victim proximately caused by
16    the conduct of all of the defendants who are legally
17    accountable for the offense.
18            (1) In no event shall the victim be entitled to
19        recover restitution in excess of the actual
20        out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries,
21        proximately caused by the conduct of all of the
22        defendants.
23            (2) As between the defendants, the court may
24        apportion the restitution that is payable in
25        proportion to each co-defendant's culpability in the
26        commission of the offense.

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 5 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1            (3) In the absence of a specific order apportioning
2        the restitution, each defendant shall bear his pro rata
3        share of the restitution.
4            (4) As between the defendants, each defendant
5        shall be entitled to a pro rata reduction in the total
6        restitution required to be paid to the victim for
7        amounts of restitution actually paid by co-defendants,
8        and defendants who shall have paid more than their pro
9        rata share shall be entitled to refunds to be computed
10        by the court as additional amounts are paid by
11        co-defendants.
12        (d) In instances where a defendant has more than one
13    criminal charge pending against him in a single case, or
14    more than one case, and the defendant stands convicted of
15    one or more charges, a plea agreement negotiated by the
16    State's Attorney and the defendants may require the
17    defendant to make restitution to victims of charges that
18    have been dismissed or which it is contemplated will be
19    dismissed under the terms of the plea agreement, and under
20    the agreement, the court may impose a sentence of
21    restitution on the charge or charges of which the defendant
22    has been convicted that would require the defendant to make
23    restitution to victims of other offenses as provided in the
24    plea agreement.
25        (e) The court may require the defendant to apply the
26    balance of the cash bond, after payment of court costs, and

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 6 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    any fine that may be imposed to the payment of restitution.
2        (f) Taking into consideration the ability of the
3    defendant to pay, including any real or personal property
4    or any other assets of the defendant, the court shall
5    determine whether restitution shall be paid in a single
6    payment or in installments, and shall fix a period of time
7    not in excess of 5 years, except for violations of Sections
8    16-1.3 and 17-56 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
9    Criminal Code of 2012, or the period of time specified in
10    subsection (f-1), not including periods of incarceration,
11    within which payment of restitution is to be paid in full.
12    Complete restitution shall be paid in as short a time
13    period as possible. However, if the court deems it
14    necessary and in the best interest of the victim, the court
15    may extend beyond 5 years the period of time within which
16    the payment of restitution is to be paid. If the defendant
17    is ordered to pay restitution and the court orders that
18    restitution is to be paid over a period greater than 6
19    months, the court shall order that the defendant make
20    monthly payments; the court may waive this requirement of
21    monthly payments only if there is a specific finding of
22    good cause for waiver.
23        (f-1)(1) In addition to any other penalty prescribed by
24    law and any restitution ordered under this Section that did
25    not include long-term physical health care costs, the court
26    may, upon conviction of any misdemeanor or felony, order a

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 7 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    defendant to pay restitution to a victim in accordance with
2    the provisions of this subsection (f-1) if the victim has
3    suffered physical injury as a result of the offense that is
4    reasonably probable to require or has required long-term
5    physical health care for more than 3 months. As used in
6    this subsection (f-1) "long-term physical health care"
7    includes mental health care.
8        (2) The victim's estimate of long-term physical health
9    care costs may be made as part of a victim impact statement
10    under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
11    Witnesses Act or made separately. The court shall enter the
12    long-term physical health care restitution order at the
13    time of sentencing. An order of restitution made under this
14    subsection (f-1) shall fix a monthly amount to be paid by
15    the defendant for as long as long-term physical health care
16    of the victim is required as a result of the offense. The
17    order may exceed the length of any sentence imposed upon
18    the defendant for the criminal activity. The court shall
19    include as a special finding in the judgment of conviction
20    its determination of the monthly cost of long-term physical
21    health care.
22        (3) After a sentencing order has been entered, the
23    court may from time to time, on the petition of either the
24    defendant or the victim, or upon its own motion, enter an
25    order for restitution for long-term physical care or modify
26    the existing order for restitution for long-term physical

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 8 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    care as to the amount of monthly payments. Any modification
2    of the order shall be based only upon a substantial change
3    of circumstances relating to the cost of long-term physical
4    health care or the financial condition of either the
5    defendant or the victim. The petition shall be filed as
6    part of the original criminal docket.
7        (g) In addition to the sentences provided for in
8    Sections 11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60,
9    11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-20.1B, 11-20.3, 12-13, 12-14,
10    12-14.1, 12-15, and 12-16, and subdivision (a)(4) of
11    Section 11-14.4, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
12    Criminal Code of 2012, the court may order any person who
13    is convicted of violating any of those Sections or who was
14    charged with any of those offenses and which charge was
15    reduced to another charge as a result of a plea agreement
16    under subsection (d) of this Section to meet all or any
17    portion of the financial obligations of treatment,
18    including but not limited to medical, psychiatric, or
19    rehabilitative treatment or psychological counseling,
20    prescribed for the victim or victims of the offense.
21        (g-1) In addition to the sentence provided for in
22    Section 17-56 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the State's
23    Attorney of the county that prosecuted the defendant shall
24    request that the court order a person convicted of
25    financial exploitation of an elderly person or a person
26    with a disability under subsection (a-5) of Section 17-56

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 9 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    of the Criminal Code of 2012, to pay restitution to the
2    facility where the elderly person or a person with a
3    disability is a resident of all amounts misappropriated
4    from the elderly person or a person with a disability that
5    are owed to the facility to pay for the care of the elderly
6    person or a person with a disability if the facility is
7    licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act or the ID/DD
8    Community Care Act.
9        The payments shall be made by the defendant to the
10    clerk of the circuit court and transmitted by the clerk to
11    the appropriate person or agency as directed by the court.
12    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f-1), the order
13    may require such payments to be made for a period not to
14    exceed 5 years after sentencing, not including periods of
15    incarceration.
16        (h) The judge may enter an order of withholding to
17    collect the amount of restitution owed in accordance with
18    Part 8 of Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure.
19        (i) A sentence of restitution may be modified or
20    revoked by the court if the offender commits another
21    offense, or the offender fails to make restitution as
22    ordered by the court, but no sentence to make restitution
23    shall be revoked unless the court shall find that the
24    offender has had the financial ability to make restitution,
25    and he has wilfully refused to do so. When the offender's
26    ability to pay restitution was established at the time an

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 10 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    order of restitution was entered or modified, or when the
2    offender's ability to pay was based on the offender's
3    willingness to make restitution as part of a plea agreement
4    made at the time the order of restitution was entered or
5    modified, there is a rebuttable presumption that the facts
6    and circumstances considered by the court at the hearing at
7    which the order of restitution was entered or modified
8    regarding the offender's ability or willingness to pay
9    restitution have not materially changed. If the court shall
10    find that the defendant has failed to make restitution and
11    that the failure is not wilful, the court may impose an
12    additional period of time within which to make restitution.
13    The length of the additional period shall not be more than
14    2 years. The court shall retain all of the incidents of the
15    original sentence, including the authority to modify or
16    enlarge the conditions, and to revoke or further modify the
17    sentence if the conditions of payment are violated during
18    the additional period.
19        (j) The procedure upon the filing of a Petition to
20    Revoke a sentence to make restitution shall be the same as
21    the procedures set forth in Section 5-6-4 of this Code
22    governing violation, modification, or revocation of
23    Probation, of Conditional Discharge, or of Supervision.
24        (k) Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude
25    the right of any party to proceed in a civil action to
26    recover for any damages incurred due to the criminal

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 11 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1    misconduct of the defendant.
2        (l) Restitution ordered under this Section shall not be
3    subject to disbursement by the circuit clerk under Section
4    27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
5        (m) A restitution order under this Section is a
6    judgment lien in favor of the victim that:
7            (1) Attaches to the property of the person subject
8        to the order;
9            (2) May be perfected in the same manner as provided
10        in Part 3 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code;
11            (3) May be enforced to satisfy any payment that is
12        delinquent under the restitution order by the person in
13        whose favor the order is issued or the person's
14        assignee; and
15            (4) Expires in the same manner as a judgment lien
16        created in a civil proceeding.
17        When a restitution order is issued under this Section,
18    the issuing court shall send a certified copy of the order
19    to the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the
20    charge was filed. Upon receiving the order, the clerk shall
21    enter and index the order in the circuit court judgment
22    docket.
23        (n) An order of restitution under this Section does not
24    bar a civil action for:
25            (1) Damages that the court did not require the
26        person to pay to the victim under the restitution order

 

 

09900HB3529ham001- 12 -LRB099 09357 RLC 32650 a

1        but arise from an injury or property damages that is
2        the basis of restitution ordered by the court; and
3            (2) Other damages suffered by the victim.
4    The restitution order is not discharged by the completion
5of the sentence imposed for the offense.
6    A restitution order under this Section is not discharged by
7the liquidation of a person's estate by a receiver. A
8restitution order under this Section may be enforced in the
9same manner as judgment liens are enforced under Article XII of
10the Code of Civil Procedure.
11    The provisions of Section 2-1303 of the Code of Civil
12Procedure, providing for interest on judgments, apply to
13judgments for restitution entered under this Section.
