 1        AN ACT to  amend  the  Unified  Code  of  Corrections  by
 2    changing Section 5-6-1.

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

 5        Section 5.  The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
 6    changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:

 7        (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
 8        Sec. 5-6-1.  Sentences of Probation  and  of  Conditional
 9    Discharge   and   Disposition  of  Supervision.  The  General
10    Assembly finds that in  order  to  protect  the  public,  the
11    criminal  justice  system  must  compel  compliance  with the
12    conditions of probation  by  responding  to  violations  with
13    swift,   certain   and   fair  punishments  and  intermediate
14    sanctions. The Chief Judge of  each  circuit  shall  adopt  a
15    system  of  structured, intermediate sanctions for violations
16    of the terms and  conditions  of  a  sentence  of  probation,
17    conditional discharge or disposition of supervision.
18        (a)  Except   where   specifically  prohibited  by  other
19    provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
20    probation or conditional discharge upon an  offender  unless,
21    having  regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
22    and to the history, character and condition of the  offender,
23    the court is of the opinion that:
24             (1)  his  imprisonment  or  periodic imprisonment is
25        necessary for the protection of the public; or
26             (2)  probation  or   conditional   discharge   would
27        deprecate  the  seriousness of the offender's conduct and
28        would be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
29        The court shall impose as a condition of  a  sentence  of
30    probation,  conditional  discharge,  or supervision, that the
31    probation agency may invoke any sanction  from  the  list  of
 
                            -2-                LRB9105512RCks
 1    intermediate  sanctions  adopted  by  the  chief judge of the
 2    circuit court for violations of the terms and  conditions  of
 3    the   sentence   of   probation,  conditional  discharge,  or
 4    supervision, subject to the provisions of  Section  5-6-4  of
 5    this Act.
 6        (b)  The  court  may  impose  a  sentence  of conditional
 7    discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion  that
 8    neither   a   sentence   of   imprisonment  nor  of  periodic
 9    imprisonment nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
10        (c)  The  court  may,  upon  a  plea  of  guilty   or   a
11    stipulation  by  the  defendant  of  the facts supporting the
12    charge or a finding of guilt, defer further  proceedings  and
13    the  imposition  of  a  sentence,  and  enter  an  order  for
14    supervision of the defendant, if the defendant is not charged
15    with  a  Class  A  misdemeanor,  as  defined by the following
16    provisions of the Criminal Code  of  1961:  Sections  12-3.2;
17    12-15;  31-1;  31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section
18    21-1; paragraph (1) through  (5),  (8),  (10),  and  (11)  of
19    subsection (a) of Section 24-1; and Section 1 of the Boarding
20    Aircraft  With  Weapon  Act; or a felony. If the defendant is
21    not  barred  from  receiving  an  order  for  supervision  as
22    provided in this subsection, the court may enter an order for
23    supervision  after  considering  the  circumstances  of   the
24    offense,  and  the  history,  character  and condition of the
25    offender, if the court is of the opinion that:
26             (1)  the offender is not likely  to  commit  further
27        crimes;
28             (2)  the  defendant  and  the  public  would be best
29        served if the defendant were not to  receive  a  criminal
30        record; and
31             (3)  in  the  best  interests of justice an order of
32        supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
33        permitted under this Code.
34        (d)  The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
 
                            -3-                LRB9105512RCks

 3    ordinance when the defendant has previously been:
 4             (1)  convicted  for a violation of Section 11-501 of
 5        the Illinois Vehicle Code or a  similar  provision  of  a
 6        local  ordinance  or  any  similar  law  or  ordinance of
 7        another state; or
 8             (2)  assigned supervision for a violation of Section
 9        11-501  of  the  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  or  a   similar
10        provision  of  a  local  ordinance  or any similar law or
11        ordinance of another state; or
12             (3)  pleaded guilty to or stipulated  to  the  facts
13        supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
14        of  Section  11-503  of  the  Illinois  Vehicle Code or a
15        similar provision of a local ordinance or any similar law
16        or  ordinance  of  another  state,  and   the   plea   or
17        stipulation was the result of a plea agreement.

19    authority  with  regard  to  the  standards set forth in this
20    Section.
21        (e)  The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a

24    years been:
25             (1)  convicted  for  a violation of Section 16A-3 of
26        the Criminal Code of 1961; or
27             (2)  assigned supervision for a violation of Section
28        16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.

 6    3-710, or 5-401.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or  a  similar
 7    provision  of  a  local ordinance if the defendant has within
 8    the last 5 years been:
 9             (1)  convicted for a  violation  of  Section  3-707,
10        3-708,  3-710, or 5-401.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or
11        a similar provision of a local ordinance; or
12             (2)  assigned supervision for a violation of Section

22             (1)  unless  the  defendant,  upon  payment  of  the

25        approved   by  the  court  under  standards  set  by  the

27        responsible for payment of  any  traffic  safety  program
28        fees.   If  the  accused  fails  to file a certificate of
