7    Section 15. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
8repealing Section 24-1.7.
 
9    Section 20. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
10amended by changing Section 111-3 as follows:
 
11    (725 ILCS 5/111-3)  (from Ch. 38, par. 111-3)
12    Sec. 111-3. Form of charge.
13    (a) A charge shall be in writing and allege the commission
14of an offense by:
15        (1) Stating the name of the offense;
16        (2) Citing the statutory provision alleged to have
17    been violated;
18        (3) Setting forth the nature and elements of the
19    offense charged;
20        (4) Stating the date and county of the offense as
21    definitely as can be done; and
22        (5) Stating the name of the accused, if known, and if
23    not known, designate the accused by any name or

 

 

HB3991- 23 -LRB102 02628 RLC 12631 b

1    description by which he can be identified with reasonable
2    certainty.
3    (a-5) If the victim is alleged to have been subjected to an
4offense involving an illegal sexual act including, but not
5limited to, a sexual offense defined in Article 11 or Section
610-9 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the charge shall state the
7identity of the victim by name, initials, or description.
8    (b) An indictment shall be signed by the foreman of the
9Grand Jury and an information shall be signed by the State's
10Attorney and sworn to by him or another. A complaint shall be
11sworn to and signed by the complainant; provided, that when a
12peace officer observes the commission of a misdemeanor and is
13the complaining witness, the signing of the complaint by the
14peace officer is sufficient to charge the defendant with the
15commission of the offense, and the complaint need not be sworn
16to if the officer signing the complaint certifies that the
17statements set forth in the complaint are true and correct and
18are subject to the penalties provided by law for false
19certification under Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil
20Procedure and perjury under Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code
21of 2012; and further provided, however, that when a citation
22is issued on a Uniform Traffic Ticket or Uniform Conservation
23Ticket (in a form prescribed by the Conference of Chief
24Circuit Judges and filed with the Supreme Court), the copy of
25such Uniform Ticket which is filed with the circuit court
26constitutes a complaint to which the defendant may plead,

 

 

HB3991- 24 -LRB102 02628 RLC 12631 b

1unless he specifically requests that a verified complaint be
2filed.
3    (c) When the State seeks an enhanced sentence because of a
4prior conviction, the charge shall also state the intention to
5seek an enhanced sentence and shall state such prior
6conviction so as to give notice to the defendant. However, the
7fact of such prior conviction and the State's intention to
8seek an enhanced sentence are not elements of the offense and
9may not be disclosed to the jury during trial unless otherwise
10permitted by issues properly raised during such trial. For the
11purposes of this Section, "enhanced sentence" means a sentence
12which is increased by a prior conviction from one
13classification of offense to another higher level
14classification of offense set forth in Section 5-4.5-10 of the
15Unified Code of Corrections (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-10); it does not
16include an increase in the sentence applied within the same
17level of classification of offense.
18    (c-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in all
19cases in which the imposition of the death penalty is not a
20possibility, if an alleged fact (other than the fact of a prior
21conviction) is not an element of an offense but is sought to be
22used to increase the range of penalties for the offense beyond
23the statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for the
24offense, the alleged fact must be included in the charging
25instrument or otherwise provided to the defendant through a
26written notification before trial, submitted to a trier of

 

 

HB3991- 25 -LRB102 02628 RLC 12631 b

1fact as an aggravating factor, and proved beyond a reasonable
2doubt. Failure to prove the fact beyond a reasonable doubt is
3not a bar to a conviction for commission of the offense, but is
4a bar to increasing, based on that fact, the range of penalties
5for the offense beyond the statutory maximum that could
6otherwise be imposed for that offense. Nothing in this
7subsection (c-5) requires the imposition of a sentence that
8increases the range of penalties for the offense beyond the
9statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for the
10offense if the imposition of that sentence is not required by
11law.
12    (d) At any time prior to trial, the State on motion shall
13be permitted to amend the charge, whether brought by
14indictment, information or complaint, to make the charge
15comply with subsection (c) or (c-5) of this Section. Nothing
16in Section 103-5 of this Code precludes such an amendment or a
17written notification made in accordance with subsection (c-5)
18of this Section.
19    (e) The provisions of subsection (a) of Section 5-4.5-95
20of the Unified Code of Corrections before its repeal on the
21effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
22Assembly (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-95) shall not be affected by this
23Section.
24(Source: P.A. 97-1150, eff. 1-25-13; 98-416, eff. 1-1-14.)
 
25    Section 25. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by

2    contingent upon the availability of funds.
3        (b-1) To create and implement, on January 1, 2002, a

8    its custody who have alcohol or drug problems. The pilot
9    program shall require the pupillometer technology to be
10    used in at least one Department of Corrections facility.
11    The Director may expand the pilot program to include an
12    additional facility or facilities as he or she deems

16    The lease specified in a bid shall be for a term of not
17    less than the time needed to retire any revenue bonds used
18    to finance the project, but not to exceed 40 years. The
19    lease may grant to the State the option to purchase the
20    structure outright.
21        Upon receipt of the bids, the Department may certify

HB3991- 51 -LRB102 02628 RLC 12631 b

1the Department determines that the inmate is entitled to this
2sentence credit, based upon:
3        (i) documentation provided by the Department that the

6    behavior modification programs, life skills courses, or
7    re-entry planning provided by the Department under this
8    paragraph (4) and satisfactorily completed the assigned
9    program as determined by the standards of the Department
10    during the inmate's current term of incarceration; or
11        (ii) the inmate's own testimony in the form of an

26cannot provide documentation of more than 45 days of

 

 

HB3991- 52 -LRB102 02628 RLC 12631 b

1participation in those programs, the inmate shall receive 45
2days of sentence credit. In the event of a disagreement
3between the Department and the inmate as to the amount of
4credit accumulated under subparagraph (B), if the Department
5provides documented proof of a lesser amount of days of
6participation in those programs, that proof shall control. If
7the Department provides no documentary proof, the inmate's
8proof as set forth in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) shall
9control as to the amount of sentence credit provided.
10    (D) If the inmate has been convicted of a sex offense as
11defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act,
12sentencing credits under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph

2    Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
3limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
4Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied
5immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting list under
6criteria established by the Department. The inability of any
7inmate to become engaged in any such programs by reason of
8insufficient program resources or for any other reason
9established under the rules and regulations of the Department
10shall not be deemed a cause of action under which the
11Department or any employee or agent of the Department shall be
12liable for damages to the inmate.
13    (4.1) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this
14subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall also provide

10resources appropriated by the General Assembly for these
11purposes. If treatment is not available and the requirement to
12participate and complete the treatment has not been waived by
13the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list

10alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
11therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
12sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided

14federal court against the State, the Department of
15Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
16their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
