HB4499- 7 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    Sec. 14. Security employee, peace officer and fire fighter
2disputes.
3    (a) In the case of collective bargaining agreements
4involving units of security employees of a public employer,
5Peace Officer Units, or units of fire fighters or paramedics,
6and in the case of disputes under Section 18, unless the
7parties mutually agree to some other time limit, mediation
8shall commence 30 days prior to the expiration date of such
9agreement or at such later time as the mediation services
10chosen under subsection (b) of Section 12 can be provided to
11the parties. In the case of negotiations for an initial
12collective bargaining agreement, mediation shall commence upon
1315 days notice from either party or at such later time as the
14mediation services chosen pursuant to subsection (b) of
15Section 12 can be provided to the parties. In mediation under
16this Section, if either party requests the use of mediation
17services from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service,
18the other party shall either join in such request or bear the
19additional cost of mediation services from another source. The
20mediator shall have a duty to keep the Board informed on the
21progress of the mediation. If any dispute has not been
22resolved within 15 days after the first meeting of the parties
23and the mediator, or within such other time limit as may be
24mutually agreed upon by the parties, either the exclusive
25representative or employer may request of the other, in
26writing, arbitration, and shall submit a copy of the request

 

 

HB4499- 8 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1to the Board.
2    (b) Within 10 days after such a request for arbitration
3has been made, the employer shall choose a delegate and the
4employees' exclusive representative shall choose a delegate to
5a panel of arbitration as provided in this Section. The
6employer and employees shall forthwith advise the other and
7the Board of their selections.
8    (c) Within 7 days after the request of either party, the
9parties shall request a panel of impartial arbitrators from
10which they shall select the neutral chairman according to the
11procedures provided in this Section. If the parties have
12agreed to a contract that contains a grievance resolution
13procedure as provided in Section 8, the chairman shall be
14selected using their agreed contract procedure unless they
15mutually agree to another procedure. If the parties fail to
16notify the Board of their selection of neutral chairman within
177 days after receipt of the list of impartial arbitrators, the
18Board shall appoint, at random, a neutral chairman from the
19list. In the absence of an agreed contract procedure for
20selecting an impartial arbitrator, either party may request a
21panel from the Board. Within 7 days of the request of either
22party, the Board shall select from the Public Employees Labor
23Mediation Roster 7 persons who are on the labor arbitration
24panels of either the American Arbitration Association or the
25Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, or who are members
26of the National Academy of Arbitrators, as nominees for

 

 

HB4499- 9 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1impartial arbitrator of the arbitration panel. The parties may
2select an individual on the list provided by the Board or any
3other individual mutually agreed upon by the parties. Within 7
4days following the receipt of the list, the parties shall
5notify the Board of the person they have selected. Unless the
6parties agree on an alternate selection procedure, they shall
7alternatively strike one name from the list provided by the
8Board until only one name remains. A coin toss shall determine
9which party shall strike the first name. If the parties fail to
10notify the Board in a timely manner of their selection for
11neutral chairman, the Board shall appoint a neutral chairman
12from the Illinois Public Employees Mediation/Arbitration
13Roster.
14    (d) The chairman shall call a hearing to begin within 15
15days and give reasonable notice of the time and place of the
16hearing. The hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
17or at such other location as the Board deems appropriate. The
18chairman shall preside over the hearing and shall take
19testimony. Any oral or documentary evidence and other data
20deemed relevant by the arbitration panel may be received in
21evidence. The proceedings shall be informal. Technical rules
22of evidence shall not apply and the competency of the evidence
23shall not thereby be deemed impaired. A verbatim record of the
24proceedings shall be made and the arbitrator shall arrange for
25the necessary recording service. Transcripts may be ordered at
26the expense of the party ordering them, but the transcripts

 

 

HB4499- 10 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1shall not be necessary for a decision by the arbitration
2panel. The expense of the proceedings, including a fee for the
3chairman, shall be borne equally by each of the parties to the
4dispute. The delegates, if public officers or employees, shall
5continue on the payroll of the public employer without loss of
6pay. The hearing conducted by the arbitration panel may be
7adjourned from time to time, but unless otherwise agreed by
8the parties, shall be concluded within 30 days of the time of
9its commencement. Majority actions and rulings shall
10constitute the actions and rulings of the arbitration panel.
11Arbitration proceedings under this Section shall not be
12interrupted or terminated by reason of any unfair labor
13practice charge filed by either party at any time.
14    (e) The arbitration panel may administer oaths, require
15the attendance of witnesses, and the production of such books,
16papers, contracts, agreements and documents as may be deemed
17by it material to a just determination of the issues in
18dispute, and for such purpose may issue subpoenas. If any
19person refuses to obey a subpoena, or refuses to be sworn or to
20testify, or if any witness, party or attorney is guilty of any
21contempt while in attendance at any hearing, the arbitration
22panel may, or the attorney general if requested shall, invoke
23the aid of any circuit court within the jurisdiction in which
24the hearing is being held, which court shall issue an
25appropriate order. Any failure to obey the order may be
26punished by the court as contempt.

 

 

HB4499- 11 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    (f) At any time before the rendering of an award, the
2chairman of the arbitration panel, if he is of the opinion that
3it would be useful or beneficial to do so, may remand the
4dispute to the parties for further collective bargaining for a
5period not to exceed 2 weeks. If the dispute is remanded for
6further collective bargaining the time provisions of this Act
7shall be extended for a time period equal to that of the
8remand. The chairman of the panel of arbitration shall notify
9the Board of the remand.
10    (g) At or before the conclusion of the hearing held
11pursuant to subsection (d), the arbitration panel shall
12identify the economic issues in dispute, and direct each of
13the parties to submit, within such time limit as the panel
14shall prescribe, to the arbitration panel and to each other
15its last offer of settlement on each economic issue. The
16determination of the arbitration panel as to the issues in
17dispute and as to which of these issues are economic shall be
18conclusive. The arbitration panel, within 30 days after the
19conclusion of the hearing, or such further additional periods
20to which the parties may agree, shall make written findings of
21fact and promulgate a written opinion and shall mail or
22otherwise deliver a true copy thereof to the parties and their
23representatives and to the Board. As to each economic issue,
24the arbitration panel shall adopt the last offer of settlement
25which, in the opinion of the arbitration panel, more nearly
26complies with the applicable factors prescribed in subsection

 

 

HB4499- 12 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1(h). The findings, opinions and order as to all other issues
2shall be based upon the applicable factors prescribed in
3subsection (h).
4    (h) Where there is no agreement between the parties, or
5where there is an agreement but the parties have begun
6negotiations or discussions looking to a new agreement or
7amendment of the existing agreement, and wage rates or other
8conditions of employment under the proposed new or amended
9agreement are in dispute, the arbitration panel shall base its
10findings, opinions and order upon the following factors, as
11applicable:
12        (1) The lawful authority of the employer.
13        (2) Stipulations of the parties.
14        (3) The interests and welfare of the public and the
15    financial ability of the unit of government to meet those
16    costs.
17        (4) Comparison of the wages, hours and conditions of
18    employment of the employees involved in the arbitration
19    proceeding with the wages, hours and conditions of
20    employment of other employees performing similar services
21    and with other employees generally:
22            (A) In public employment in comparable
23        communities.
24            (B) In private employment in comparable
25        communities.
26        (5) The average consumer prices for goods and

 

 

HB4499- 13 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    services, commonly known as the cost of living.
2        (6) The overall compensation presently received by the
3    employees, including direct wage compensation, vacations,
4    holidays and other excused time, insurance and pensions,
5    medical and hospitalization benefits, the continuity and
6    stability of employment and all other benefits received.
7        (7) Changes in any of the foregoing circumstances
8    during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings.
9        (8) Such other factors, not confined to the foregoing,
10    which are normally or traditionally taken into
11    consideration in the determination of wages, hours and
12    conditions of employment through voluntary collective
13    bargaining, mediation, fact-finding, arbitration or
14    otherwise between the parties, in the public service or in
15    private employment.
16    (i) In the case of peace officers, the arbitration
17decision shall be limited to wages, hours, and conditions of
18employment (which may include residency requirements in
19municipalities with a population under 1,000,000 1,000,000,
20but those residency requirements shall not allow residency
21outside of Illinois) and shall not include the following: i)
22residency requirements in municipalities with a population of
23at least 1,000,000 1,000,000; ii) the type of equipment, other
24than uniforms, issued or used; iii) manning; iv) the total

HB4499- 14 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1vi) the criterion pursuant to which force, including deadly
2force, can be used; provided, nothing herein shall preclude an
3arbitration decision regarding equipment or manning levels if
4such decision is based on a finding that the equipment or
5manning considerations in a specific work assignment involve a
6serious risk to the safety of a peace officer beyond that which
7is inherent in the normal performance of police duties.
8Limitation of the terms of the arbitration decision pursuant
9to this subsection shall not be construed to limit the factors
10upon which the decision may be based, as set forth in
11subsection (h).
12    In the case of fire fighter, and fire department or fire
13district paramedic matters, the arbitration decision shall be
14limited to wages, hours, and conditions of employment
15(including manning and also including residency requirements
16in municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, but those

26nothing herein shall preclude an arbitration decision

 

 

HB4499- 15 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1regarding equipment levels if such decision is based on a
2finding that the equipment considerations in a specific work
3assignment involve a serious risk to the safety of a fire
4fighter beyond that which is inherent in the normal
5performance of fire fighter duties. Limitation of the terms of
6the arbitration decision pursuant to this subsection shall not
7be construed to limit the facts upon which the decision may be
8based, as set forth in subsection (h).
9    The changes to this subsection (i) made by Public Act
1090-385 (relating to residency requirements) do not apply to
11persons who are employed by a combined department that
12performs both police and firefighting services; these persons
13shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection (i)
14relating to peace officers, as they existed before the
15amendment by Public Act 90-385.
16    To preserve historical bargaining rights, this subsection
17shall not apply to any provision of a fire fighter collective
18bargaining agreement in effect and applicable on the effective
19date of this Act; provided, however, nothing herein shall
20preclude arbitration with respect to any such provision.
21    (j) Arbitration procedures shall be deemed to be initiated
22by the filing of a letter requesting mediation as required
23under subsection (a) of this Section. The commencement of a
24new municipal fiscal year after the initiation of arbitration
25procedures under this Act, but before the arbitration
26decision, or its enforcement, shall not be deemed to render a

 

 

HB4499- 16 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1dispute moot, or to otherwise impair the jurisdiction or
2authority of the arbitration panel or its decision. Increases
3in rates of compensation awarded by the arbitration panel may
4be effective only at the start of the fiscal year next
5commencing after the date of the arbitration award. If a new
6fiscal year has commenced either since the initiation of
7arbitration procedures under this Act or since any mutually
8agreed extension of the statutorily required period of
9mediation under this Act by the parties to the labor dispute
10causing a delay in the initiation of arbitration, the
11foregoing limitations shall be inapplicable, and such awarded
12increases may be retroactive to the commencement of the fiscal
13year, any other statute or charter provisions to the contrary,
14notwithstanding. At any time the parties, by stipulation, may
15amend or modify an award of arbitration.
16    (k) Orders of the arbitration panel shall be reviewable,
17upon appropriate petition by either the public employer or the
18exclusive bargaining representative, by the circuit court for
19the county in which the dispute arose or in which a majority of
20the affected employees reside, but only for reasons that the
21arbitration panel was without or exceeded its statutory
22authority; the order is arbitrary, or capricious; or the order
23was procured by fraud, collusion or other similar and unlawful
24means. Such petitions for review must be filed with the
25appropriate circuit court within 90 days following the
26issuance of the arbitration order. The pendency of such

 

 

HB4499- 17 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1proceeding for review shall not automatically stay the order
2of the arbitration panel. The party against whom the final
3decision of any such court shall be adverse, if such court
4finds such appeal or petition to be frivolous, shall pay
5reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the successful party
6as determined by said court in its discretion. If said court's
7decision affirms the award of money, such award, if
8retroactive, shall bear interest at the rate of 12 percent per
9annum from the effective retroactive date.
10    (l) During the pendency of proceedings before the
11arbitration panel, existing wages, hours, and other conditions
12of employment shall not be changed by action of either party
13without the consent of the other but a party may so consent
14without prejudice to his rights or position under this Act.
15The proceedings are deemed to be pending before the
16arbitration panel upon the initiation of arbitration
17procedures under this Act.
18    (m) Security officers of public employers, and Peace
19Officers, Fire Fighters and fire department and fire
20protection district paramedics, covered by this Section may
21not withhold services, nor may public employers lock out or
22prevent such employees from performing services at any time.
23    (n) All of the terms decided upon by the arbitration panel
24shall be included in an agreement to be submitted to the public
25employer's governing body for ratification and adoption by
26law, ordinance or the equivalent appropriate means.

 

 

HB4499- 18 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    The governing body shall review each term decided by the
2arbitration panel. If the governing body fails to reject one
3or more terms of the arbitration panel's decision by a 3/5 vote
4of those duly elected and qualified members of the governing
5body, within 20 days of issuance, or in the case of
6firefighters employed by a state university, at the next
7regularly scheduled meeting of the governing body after
8issuance, such term or terms shall become a part of the
9collective bargaining agreement of the parties. If the
10governing body affirmatively rejects one or more terms of the
11arbitration panel's decision, it must provide reasons for such
12rejection with respect to each term so rejected, within 20
13days of such rejection and the parties shall return to the
14arbitration panel for further proceedings and issuance of a
15supplemental decision with respect to the rejected terms. Any
16supplemental decision by an arbitration panel or other
17decision maker agreed to by the parties shall be submitted to
18the governing body for ratification and adoption in accordance
19with the procedures and voting requirements set forth in this
20Section. The voting requirements of this subsection shall
21apply to all disputes submitted to arbitration pursuant to
22this Section notwithstanding any contrary voting requirements
23contained in any existing collective bargaining agreement
24between the parties.
25    (o) If the governing body of the employer votes to reject
26the panel's decision, the parties shall return to the panel

 

 

HB4499- 19 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1within 30 days from the issuance of the reasons for rejection
2for further proceedings and issuance of a supplemental
3decision. All reasonable costs of such supplemental proceeding

14    Sec. 14. Security employee, peace officer and fire fighter
15disputes.
16    (a) In the case of collective bargaining agreements
17involving units of security employees of a public employer,
18Peace Officer Units, or units of fire fighters or paramedics,
19and in the case of disputes under Section 18, unless the
20parties mutually agree to some other time limit, mediation
21shall commence 30 days prior to the expiration date of such
22agreement or at such later time as the mediation services
23chosen under subsection (b) of Section 12 can be provided to
24the parties. In the case of negotiations for an initial
25collective bargaining agreement, mediation shall commence upon

 

 

HB4499- 20 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

115 days notice from either party or at such later time as the
2mediation services chosen pursuant to subsection (b) of
3Section 12 can be provided to the parties. In mediation under
4this Section, if either party requests the use of mediation
5services from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service,
6the other party shall either join in such request or bear the
7additional cost of mediation services from another source. The
8mediator shall have a duty to keep the Board informed on the
9progress of the mediation. If any dispute has not been
10resolved within 15 days after the first meeting of the parties
11and the mediator, or within such other time limit as may be
12mutually agreed upon by the parties, either the exclusive
13representative or employer may request of the other, in
14writing, arbitration, and shall submit a copy of the request
15to the Board.
16    (b) Within 10 days after such a request for arbitration
17has been made, the employer shall choose a delegate and the
18employees' exclusive representative shall choose a delegate to
19a panel of arbitration as provided in this Section. The
20employer and employees shall forthwith advise the other and
21the Board of their selections.
22    (c) Within 7 days after the request of either party, the
23parties shall request a panel of impartial arbitrators from
24which they shall select the neutral chairman according to the
25procedures provided in this Section. If the parties have
26agreed to a contract that contains a grievance resolution

 

 

HB4499- 21 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1procedure as provided in Section 8, the chairman shall be
2selected using their agreed contract procedure unless they
3mutually agree to another procedure. If the parties fail to
4notify the Board of their selection of neutral chairman within
57 days after receipt of the list of impartial arbitrators, the
6Board shall appoint, at random, a neutral chairman from the
7list. In the absence of an agreed contract procedure for
8selecting an impartial arbitrator, either party may request a
9panel from the Board. Within 7 days of the request of either
10party, the Board shall select from the Public Employees Labor
11Mediation Roster 7 persons who are on the labor arbitration
12panels of either the American Arbitration Association or the
13Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, or who are members
14of the National Academy of Arbitrators, as nominees for
15impartial arbitrator of the arbitration panel. The parties may
16select an individual on the list provided by the Board or any
17other individual mutually agreed upon by the parties. Within 7
18days following the receipt of the list, the parties shall
19notify the Board of the person they have selected. Unless the
20parties agree on an alternate selection procedure, they shall
21alternatively strike one name from the list provided by the
22Board until only one name remains. A coin toss shall determine
23which party shall strike the first name. If the parties fail to
24notify the Board in a timely manner of their selection for
25neutral chairman, the Board shall appoint a neutral chairman

1Roster.
2    (d) The chairman shall call a hearing to begin within 15
3days and give reasonable notice of the time and place of the
4hearing. The hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
5or at such other location as the Board deems appropriate. The
6chairman shall preside over the hearing and shall take
7testimony. Any oral or documentary evidence and other data
8deemed relevant by the arbitration panel may be received in
9evidence. The proceedings shall be informal. Technical rules
10of evidence shall not apply and the competency of the evidence
11shall not thereby be deemed impaired. A verbatim record of the
12proceedings shall be made and the arbitrator shall arrange for
13the necessary recording service. Transcripts may be ordered at
14the expense of the party ordering them, but the transcripts
15shall not be necessary for a decision by the arbitration
16panel. The expense of the proceedings, including a fee for the
17chairman, shall be borne equally by each of the parties to the
18dispute. The delegates, if public officers or employees, shall
19continue on the payroll of the public employer without loss of
20pay. The hearing conducted by the arbitration panel may be
21adjourned from time to time, but unless otherwise agreed by
22the parties, shall be concluded within 30 days of the time of
23its commencement. Majority actions and rulings shall
24constitute the actions and rulings of the arbitration panel.
25Arbitration proceedings under this Section shall not be
26interrupted or terminated by reason of any unfair labor

1practice charge filed by either party at any time.
2    (e) The arbitration panel may administer oaths, require
3the attendance of witnesses, and the production of such books,
4papers, contracts, agreements and documents as may be deemed
5by it material to a just determination of the issues in
6dispute, and for such purpose may issue subpoenas. If any
7person refuses to obey a subpoena, or refuses to be sworn or to
8testify, or if any witness, party or attorney is guilty of any
9contempt while in attendance at any hearing, the arbitration
10panel may, or the attorney general if requested shall, invoke
11the aid of any circuit court within the jurisdiction in which
12the hearing is being held, which court shall issue an
13appropriate order. Any failure to obey the order may be
14punished by the court as contempt.
15    (f) At any time before the rendering of an award, the
16chairman of the arbitration panel, if he is of the opinion that
17it would be useful or beneficial to do so, may remand the
18dispute to the parties for further collective bargaining for a
19period not to exceed 2 weeks. If the dispute is remanded for
20further collective bargaining the time provisions of this Act
21shall be extended for a time period equal to that of the
22remand. The chairman of the panel of arbitration shall notify
23the Board of the remand.
24    (g) At or before the conclusion of the hearing held
25pursuant to subsection (d), the arbitration panel shall
26identify the economic issues in dispute, and direct each of

 

 

HB4499- 24 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1the parties to submit, within such time limit as the panel
2shall prescribe, to the arbitration panel and to each other
3its last offer of settlement on each economic issue. The
4determination of the arbitration panel as to the issues in
5dispute and as to which of these issues are economic shall be
6conclusive. The arbitration panel, within 30 days after the
7conclusion of the hearing, or such further additional periods
8to which the parties may agree, shall make written findings of
9fact and promulgate a written opinion and shall mail or
10otherwise deliver a true copy thereof to the parties and their
11representatives and to the Board. As to each economic issue,
12the arbitration panel shall adopt the last offer of settlement
13which, in the opinion of the arbitration panel, more nearly
14complies with the applicable factors prescribed in subsection
15(h). The findings, opinions and order as to all other issues
16shall be based upon the applicable factors prescribed in
17subsection (h).
18    (h) Where there is no agreement between the parties, or
19where there is an agreement but the parties have begun
20negotiations or discussions looking to a new agreement or
21amendment of the existing agreement, and wage rates or other
22conditions of employment under the proposed new or amended
23agreement are in dispute, the arbitration panel shall base its
24findings, opinions and order upon the following factors, as
25applicable:
26        (1) The lawful authority of the employer.

 

 

HB4499- 25 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (2) Stipulations of the parties.
2        (3) The interests and welfare of the public and the
3    financial ability of the unit of government to meet those
4    costs.
5        (4) Comparison of the wages, hours and conditions of
6    employment of the employees involved in the arbitration
7    proceeding with the wages, hours and conditions of
8    employment of other employees performing similar services
9    and with other employees generally:
10            (A) In public employment in comparable
11        communities.
12            (B) In private employment in comparable
13        communities.
14        (5) The average consumer prices for goods and
15    services, commonly known as the cost of living.
16        (6) The overall compensation presently received by the
17    employees, including direct wage compensation, vacations,
18    holidays and other excused time, insurance and pensions,
19    medical and hospitalization benefits, the continuity and
20    stability of employment and all other benefits received.
21        (7) Changes in any of the foregoing circumstances
22    during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings.
23        (8) Such other factors, not confined to the foregoing,
24    which are normally or traditionally taken into
25    consideration in the determination of wages, hours and
26    conditions of employment through voluntary collective

1    bargaining, mediation, fact-finding, arbitration or
2    otherwise between the parties, in the public service or in
3    private employment.
4    (i) In the case of peace officers, the arbitration
5decision shall be limited to wages, hours, and conditions of
6employment (which may include residency requirements in
7municipalities with a population under 100,000 1,000,000, but
8those residency requirements shall not allow residency outside
9of Illinois) and shall not include the following: i) residency
10requirements in municipalities with a population of at least
11100,000 1,000,000; ii) the type of equipment, other than
12uniforms, issued or used; iii) manning; iv) the total number
13of employees employed by the department; v) mutual aid and
14assistance agreements to other units of government; and vi)
15the criterion pursuant to which force, including deadly force,
16can be used; provided, nothing herein shall preclude an
17arbitration decision regarding equipment or manning levels if
18such decision is based on a finding that the equipment or
19manning considerations in a specific work assignment involve a
20serious risk to the safety of a peace officer beyond that which
21is inherent in the normal performance of police duties.
22Limitation of the terms of the arbitration decision pursuant
23to this subsection shall not be construed to limit the factors
24upon which the decision may be based, as set forth in
25subsection (h).
26    In the case of fire fighter, and fire department or fire

 

 

HB4499- 27 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1district paramedic matters, the arbitration decision shall be
2limited to wages, hours, and conditions of employment
3(including manning and also including residency requirements
4in municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, but those
5residency requirements shall not allow residency outside of
6Illinois) and shall not include the following matters: i)
7residency requirements in municipalities with a population of
8at least 1,000,000; ii) the type of equipment (other than
9uniforms and fire fighter turnout gear) issued or used; iii)
10the total number of employees employed by the department; iv)
11mutual aid and assistance agreements to other units of
12government; and v) the criterion pursuant to which force,
13including deadly force, can be used; provided, however,
14nothing herein shall preclude an arbitration decision
15regarding equipment levels if such decision is based on a
16finding that the equipment considerations in a specific work
17assignment involve a serious risk to the safety of a fire
18fighter beyond that which is inherent in the normal
19performance of fire fighter duties. Limitation of the terms of
20the arbitration decision pursuant to this subsection shall not
21be construed to limit the facts upon which the decision may be
22based, as set forth in subsection (h).
23    The changes to this subsection (i) made by Public Act
2490-385 (relating to residency requirements) do not apply to
25persons who are employed by a combined department that
26performs both police and firefighting services; these persons

 

 

HB4499- 28 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection (i)
2relating to peace officers, as they existed before the
3amendment by Public Act 90-385.
4    To preserve historical bargaining rights, this subsection
5shall not apply to any provision of a fire fighter collective
6bargaining agreement in effect and applicable on the effective
7date of this Act; provided, however, nothing herein shall
8preclude arbitration with respect to any such provision.
9    (j) Arbitration procedures shall be deemed to be initiated
10by the filing of a letter requesting mediation as required
11under subsection (a) of this Section. The commencement of a
12new municipal fiscal year after the initiation of arbitration
13procedures under this Act, but before the arbitration
14decision, or its enforcement, shall not be deemed to render a
15dispute moot, or to otherwise impair the jurisdiction or
16authority of the arbitration panel or its decision. Increases
17in rates of compensation awarded by the arbitration panel may
18be effective only at the start of the fiscal year next
19commencing after the date of the arbitration award. If a new
20fiscal year has commenced either since the initiation of
21arbitration procedures under this Act or since any mutually
22agreed extension of the statutorily required period of
23mediation under this Act by the parties to the labor dispute
24causing a delay in the initiation of arbitration, the
25foregoing limitations shall be inapplicable, and such awarded
26increases may be retroactive to the commencement of the fiscal

 

 

HB4499- 29 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1year, any other statute or charter provisions to the contrary,
2notwithstanding. At any time the parties, by stipulation, may
3amend or modify an award of arbitration.
4    (k) Orders of the arbitration panel shall be reviewable,
5upon appropriate petition by either the public employer or the
6exclusive bargaining representative, by the circuit court for
7the county in which the dispute arose or in which a majority of
8the affected employees reside, but only for reasons that the
9arbitration panel was without or exceeded its statutory
10authority; the order is arbitrary, or capricious; or the order
11was procured by fraud, collusion or other similar and unlawful
12means. Such petitions for review must be filed with the
13appropriate circuit court within 90 days following the
14issuance of the arbitration order. The pendency of such
15proceeding for review shall not automatically stay the order
16of the arbitration panel. The party against whom the final
17decision of any such court shall be adverse, if such court
18finds such appeal or petition to be frivolous, shall pay
19reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the successful party
20as determined by said court in its discretion. If said court's
21decision affirms the award of money, such award, if
22retroactive, shall bear interest at the rate of 12 percent per
23annum from the effective retroactive date.
24    (l) During the pendency of proceedings before the
25arbitration panel, existing wages, hours, and other conditions
26of employment shall not be changed by action of either party

 

 

HB4499- 30 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1without the consent of the other but a party may so consent
2without prejudice to his rights or position under this Act.
3The proceedings are deemed to be pending before the
4arbitration panel upon the initiation of arbitration
5procedures under this Act.
6    (m) Security officers of public employers, and Peace
7Officers, Fire Fighters and fire department and fire
8protection district paramedics, covered by this Section may
9not withhold services, nor may public employers lock out or
10prevent such employees from performing services at any time.
11    (n) All of the terms decided upon by the arbitration panel
12shall be included in an agreement to be submitted to the public
13employer's governing body for ratification and adoption by
14law, ordinance or the equivalent appropriate means.
15    The governing body shall review each term decided by the
16arbitration panel. If the governing body fails to reject one
17or more terms of the arbitration panel's decision by a 3/5 vote
18of those duly elected and qualified members of the governing
19body, within 20 days of issuance, or in the case of
20firefighters employed by a state university, at the next
21regularly scheduled meeting of the governing body after
22issuance, such term or terms shall become a part of the
23collective bargaining agreement of the parties. If the
24governing body affirmatively rejects one or more terms of the
25arbitration panel's decision, it must provide reasons for such
26rejection with respect to each term so rejected, within 20

 

 

HB4499- 31 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1days of such rejection and the parties shall return to the
2arbitration panel for further proceedings and issuance of a
3supplemental decision with respect to the rejected terms. Any
4supplemental decision by an arbitration panel or other
5decision maker agreed to by the parties shall be submitted to
6the governing body for ratification and adoption in accordance
7with the procedures and voting requirements set forth in this
8Section. The voting requirements of this subsection shall
9apply to all disputes submitted to arbitration pursuant to
10this Section notwithstanding any contrary voting requirements
11contained in any existing collective bargaining agreement
12between the parties.
13    (o) If the governing body of the employer votes to reject
14the panel's decision, the parties shall return to the panel
15within 30 days from the issuance of the reasons for rejection
16for further proceedings and issuance of a supplemental
17decision. All reasonable costs of such supplemental proceeding
18including the exclusive representative's reasonable attorney's
19fees, as established by the Board, shall be paid by the
20employer.
21    (p) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section the
22employer and exclusive representative may agree to submit
23unresolved disputes concerning wages, hours, terms and
24conditions of employment to an alternative form of impasse
25resolution.

2Responder Partnership for Deflection and Substance Use
3Disorder Treatment Act is amended by changing Sections 1, 5,
410, 15, 20, 30, and 35 as follows:
 
5    (5 ILCS 820/1)
6    Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
7Community-Law Enforcement and Other First Responder
8Partnership for Deflection and Substance Use Disorder

11    (5 ILCS 820/5)
12    Sec. 5. Purposes. The General Assembly hereby acknowledges
13that opioid use disorders, overdoses, and deaths in Illinois
14are persistent and growing concerns for Illinois communities.
15These concerns compound existing challenges to adequately
16address and manage substance use and mental health disorders.
17Law enforcement officers, other first responders, and
18co-responders have a unique opportunity to facilitate
19connections to community-based behavioral health interventions
20that provide substance use treatment and can help save and
21restore lives; help reduce drug use, overdose incidence,
22criminal offending, and recidivism; and help prevent arrest
23and conviction records that destabilize health, families, and

 

 

HB4499- 33 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1opportunities for community citizenship and self-sufficiency.
2These efforts are bolstered when pursued in partnership with
3licensed behavioral health treatment providers and community
4members or organizations. It is the intent of the General
5Assembly to authorize law enforcement and other first
6responders to develop and implement collaborative deflection
7programs in Illinois that offer immediate pathways to
8substance use treatment and other services as an alternative
9to traditional case processing and involvement in the criminal
10justice system, and to unnecessary admission to emergency
11departments.

2    Sec. 10-20. Requirements.
3    (a) The Board shall develop basic guidelines for the use
4of officer-worn body cameras by law enforcement agencies. The
5guidelines developed by the Board shall be the basis for the
6written policy which must be adopted by each law enforcement
7agency which employs the use of officer-worn body cameras. The
8written policy adopted by the law enforcement agency must
9include, at a minimum, all of the following:
10        (1) Cameras must be equipped with pre-event recording,
11    capable of recording at least the 30 seconds prior to
12    camera activation, unless the officer-worn body camera was
13    purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency prior
14    to July 1, 2015.
15        (2) Cameras must be capable of recording for a period
16    of 10 hours or more, unless the officer-worn body camera
17    was purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency
18    prior to July 1, 2015.
19        (3) Cameras must be turned on at all times when the
20    officer is in uniform and is responding to calls for
21    service or engaged in any law enforcement-related
22    encounter or activity, that occurs while the officer is on
23    duty.
24            (A) If exigent circumstances exist which prevent
25        the camera from being turned on, the camera must be

 

 

HB4499- 80 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        turned on as soon as practicable.
2            (B) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off
3        when the officer is inside of a patrol car which is
4        equipped with a functioning in-car camera; however,
5        the officer must turn on the camera upon exiting the
6        patrol vehicle for law enforcement-related encounters.
7            (C) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off
8        when the officer is inside a correctional facility or
9        courthouse which is equipped with a functioning camera
10        system.
11        (4) Cameras must be turned off when:
12            (A) the victim of a crime requests that the camera
13        be turned off, and unless impractical or impossible,
14        that request is made on the recording;
15            (B) a witness of a crime or a community member who
16        wishes to report a crime requests that the camera be

26    recording a victim or a witness, if exigent circumstances

 

 

HB4499- 81 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    exist, or if the officer has reasonable articulable
2    suspicion that a victim or witness, or confidential
3    informant has committed or is in the process of committing
4    a crime. Under these circumstances, and unless impractical
5    or impossible, the officer must indicate on the recording
6    the reason for continuing to record despite the request of
7    the victim or witness.
8        (4.5) Cameras may be turned off when the officer is
9    engaged in community caretaking functions. However, the
10    camera must be turned on when the officer has reason to
11    believe that the person on whose behalf the officer is
12    performing a community caretaking function has committed
13    or is in the process of committing a crime. If exigent

18    any person if the person has a reasonable expectation of
19    privacy and proof of notice must be evident in the
20    recording. If exigent circumstances exist which prevent

6    documentation, provided that the officer or his or her
7    supervisor discloses that fact in the report or
8    documentation.

1        shall also contain documentation regarding access to
2        the video footage.
3            (B) The recording officer's assigned field
4        training officer may access and review recordings for
5        training purposes. Any detective or investigator

8        investigation but may not have access to delete or
9        alter such recordings.
10        (7) Recordings made on officer-worn cameras must be
11    retained by the law enforcement agency or by the camera
12    vendor used by the agency, on a recording medium for a
13    period of 90 days.
14            (A) Under no circumstances shall any recording,
15        except for a non-law enforcement related activity or
16        encounter, made with an officer-worn body camera be
17        altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration
18        of the 90-day storage period. In the event any
19        recording made with an officer-worn body camera is
20        altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration
21        of the 90-day storage period, the law enforcement
22        agency shall maintain, for a period of one year, a
23        written record including (i) the name of the
24        individual who made such alteration, erasure, or

HB4499- 84 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1            (B) Following the 90-day storage period, any and
2        all recordings made with an officer-worn body camera
3        must be destroyed, unless any encounter captured on

8                (ii) the officer discharged his or her firearm
9            or used force during the encounter;
10                (iii) death or great bodily harm occurred to
11            any person in the recording;

24            video be flagged for official purposes related to
25            his or her official duties.
26            (C) Under no circumstances shall any recording

 

 

HB4499- 85 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

2        flagged encounter be altered or destroyed prior to 2
3        years after the recording was flagged. If the flagged
4        recording was used in a criminal, civil, or
5        administrative proceeding, the recording shall not be
6        destroyed except upon a final disposition and order
7        from the court.
8        (8) Following the 90-day storage period, recordings
9    may be retained if a supervisor at the law enforcement
10    agency designates the recording for training purposes. If
11    the recording is designated for training purposes, the
12    recordings may be viewed by officers, in the presence of a
13    supervisor or training instructor, for the purposes of
14    instruction, training, or ensuring compliance with agency
15    policies.
16        (9) Recordings shall not be used to discipline law
17    enforcement officers unless:
18            (A) a formal or informal complaint of misconduct
19        has been made;
20            (B) a use of force incident has occurred;
21            (C) the encounter on the recording could result in
22        a formal investigation under the Uniform Peace
23        Officers' Disciplinary Act; or
24            (D) as corroboration of other evidence of
25        misconduct.
26        Nothing in this paragraph (9) shall be construed to

 

 

HB4499- 86 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    limit or prohibit a law enforcement officer from being
2    subject to an action that does not amount to discipline.
3        (10) The law enforcement agency shall ensure proper
4    care and maintenance of officer-worn body cameras. Upon
5    becoming aware, officers must as soon as practical
6    document and notify the appropriate supervisor of any
7    technical difficulties, failures, or problems with the
8    officer-worn body camera or associated equipment. Upon
9    receiving notice, the appropriate supervisor shall make
10    every reasonable effort to correct and repair any of the
11    officer-worn body camera equipment.
12        (11) No officer may hinder or prohibit any person, not
13    a law enforcement officer, from recording a law
14    enforcement officer in the performance of his or her
15    duties in a public place or when the officer has no
16    reasonable expectation of privacy. The law enforcement
17    agency's written policy shall indicate the potential
18    criminal penalties, as well as any departmental
19    discipline, which may result from unlawful confiscation or
20    destruction of the recording medium of a person who is not
21    a law enforcement officer. However, an officer may take
22    reasonable action to maintain safety and control, secure
23    crime scenes and accident sites, protect the integrity and
24    confidentiality of investigations, and protect the public
25    safety and order.

19    harm shall be disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of
20    Information Act; and
21        (3) upon request, the law enforcement agency shall
22    disclose, in accordance with the Freedom of Information
23    Act, the recording to the subject of the encounter

14recording or portion of any recording which would be exempt
15from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
16    (c) Nothing in this Section shall limit access to a camera
17recording for the purposes of complying with Supreme Court
18rules or the rules of evidence.

15    Section 210. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
16changing Sections 7-5, 7-5.5, 7-9, 9-1, and 33-3 as follows:
 
17    (720 ILCS 5/7-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 7-5)
18    Sec. 7-5. Peace officer's use of force in making arrest.
19    (a) A peace officer, or any person whom he has summoned or
20directed to assist him, need not retreat or desist from
21efforts to make a lawful arrest because of resistance or
22threatened resistance to the arrest. He is justified in the
23use of any force which he reasonably believes, based on the
24totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to effect the

 

 

HB4499- 325 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1arrest and of any force which he reasonably believes, based on
2the totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to defend
3himself or another from bodily harm while making the arrest.
4However, he is justified in using force likely to cause death
5or great bodily harm only when: (i) he reasonably believes,
6based on the totality of the circumstances, that such force is
7necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or
8such other person; or (ii) when he reasonably believes, based
9on the totality of the circumstances, both that:
10        (1) Such force is necessary to prevent the arrest from
11    being defeated by resistance or escape and the officer
12    reasonably believes that the person to be arrested is
13    likely to cause great bodily harm to another; and
14        (2) The person to be arrested committed or attempted a
15    forcible felony which involves the infliction or
16    threatened infliction of great bodily harm or is
17    attempting to escape by use of a deadly weapon, or
18    otherwise indicates that he will endanger human life or
19    inflict great bodily harm unless arrested without delay.
20    As used in this subsection, "retreat" does not mean
21tactical repositioning or other de-escalation tactics.
22    A peace officer is not justified in using force likely to
23cause death or great bodily harm when there is no longer an
24imminent threat of great bodily harm to the officer or
25another.
26    (a-5) Where feasible, a peace officer shall, prior to the

 

 

HB4499- 326 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1use of force, make reasonable efforts to identify himself or
2herself as a peace officer and to warn that deadly force may be
3used.
4    (a-10) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against
5a person based on the danger that the person poses to himself
6or herself if an reasonable officer would believe the person
7does not pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm
8to the peace officer or to another person.
9    (a-15) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against
10a person who is suspected of committing a property offense,
11unless that offense is terrorism or unless deadly force is
12otherwise authorized by law.
13    (b) A peace officer making an arrest pursuant to an
14invalid warrant is justified in the use of any force which he
15would be justified in using if the warrant were valid, unless
16he knows that the warrant is invalid.
17    (c) The authority to use physical force conferred on peace
18officers by this Article is a serious responsibility that
19shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human
20rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life.
21    (d) Peace officers shall use deadly force only when
22reasonably necessary in defense of human life. In determining
23whether deadly force is reasonably necessary, officers shall
24evaluate each situation in light of the totality of
25circumstances of each case including but not limited to the
26proximity in time of the use of force to the commission of a

 

 

HB4499- 327 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1forcible felony, and the reasonable feasibility of safely
2apprehending a subject at a later time, and shall use other
3available resources and techniques, if reasonably safe and
4feasible to a reasonable officer.
5    (e) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be
6evaluated carefully and thoroughly, in a manner that reflects
7the gravity of that authority and the serious consequences of
8the use of force by peace officers, in order to ensure that
9officers use force consistent with law and agency policies.
10    (f) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be
11evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the
12same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances
13known to or perceived by the officer at the time of the
14decision, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that
15the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions
16when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about
17using force.
18    (g) Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to adopt and
19develop policies designed to protect individuals with
20physical, mental health, developmental, or intellectual
21disabilities, or individuals who are significantly more likely
22to experience greater levels of physical force during police
23interactions, as these disabilities may affect the ability of
24a person to understand or comply with commands from peace
25officers.
26    (h) As used in this Section:

 

 

HB4499- 328 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (1) "Deadly force" means any use of force that creates
2    a substantial risk of causing death or great bodily harm,
3    including, but not limited to, the discharge of a firearm.
4        (2) A threat of death or serious bodily injury is
5    "imminent" when, based on the totality of the
6    circumstances, a reasonable officer in the same situation
7    would believe that a person has the present ability,
8    opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately cause
9    death or great bodily harm to the peace officer or another
10    person. An imminent harm is not merely a fear of future
11    harm, no matter how great the fear and no matter how great
12    the likelihood of the harm, but is one that, from
13    appearances, must be instantly confronted and addressed.
14        (3) "Totality of the circumstances" means all facts
15    known to the peace officer at the time, or that would be
16    known to a reasonable officer in the same situation,
17    including the conduct of the officer and the subject
18    leading up to the use of deadly force.

1or her duties, unless deadly force is justified under this
2Article 7 of this Code.
3    (b) A peace officer, or any other person acting under the
4color of law, shall not use a chokehold or restraint above the

9any direct pressure to the throat, windpipe, or airway of
10another with the intent to reduce or prevent the intake of

22color of law, shall not:

5    indiscriminately into a crowd;
6        (v) use chemical agents or irritants for crowd
7    control, including pepper spray and tear gas, prior to
8    issuing an order to disperse in a sufficient manner to
9    allow for the order to be heard and repeated if necessary,
10    followed by sufficient time and space to allow compliance
11    with the order unless providing such time and space would
12    unduly place an officer or another person at risk of death
13    or great bodily harm; or
14        (vi) use chemical agents or irritants, including
15    pepper spray and tear gas, prior to issuing an order in a
16    sufficient manner to ensure the order is heard, and

3person from custody as he would be justified in using if he
4were arresting such person.
5    (b) A guard or other peace officer is justified in the use
6of force, including force likely to cause death or great

9the officer reasonably believes to be lawfully detained in
10such institution under sentence for an offense or awaiting
11trial or commitment for an offense.
12    (c) Deadly force shall not be used to prevent escape under
13this Section unless, based on the totality of the
14circumstances, deadly force is necessary to prevent death or
15great bodily harm to himself or such other person.

15    induced, procured, or caused the intentional killing of
16    the murdered person; or
17        (14) the murder was intentional and involved the
18    infliction of torture. For the purpose of this Section

7defendant who has been found guilty of first degree murder and
8who at the time of the commission of the offense had attained
9the age of 18 years or more may be sentenced to natural life

18registered nurse, or to prevent him or her from acting in that
19capacity, or in retaliation for his or her acting in that
20capacity.
21    (c) Consideration of factors in Aggravation and
22Mitigation.
23    The court shall consider, or shall instruct the jury to

23factor for first degree murder because of the discovery,
24knowledge, or disclosure of the victim's sexual orientation as
25defined in Section 1-103 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
26    (d) Separate sentencing hearing.

 

 

HB4499- 341 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    Where requested by the State, the court shall conduct a
2separate sentencing proceeding to determine the existence of
3factors set forth in subsection (b) and to consider any
4aggravating or mitigating factors as indicated in subsection
5(c). The proceeding shall be conducted:
6        (1) before the jury that determined the defendant's
7    guilt; or
8        (2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose of the
9    proceeding if:
10            A. the defendant was convicted upon a plea of
11        guilty; or
12            B. the defendant was convicted after a trial
13        before the court sitting without a jury; or
14            C. the court for good cause shown discharges the
15        jury that determined the defendant's guilt; or
16        (3) before the court alone if the defendant waives a
17    jury for the separate proceeding.
18    (e) Evidence and Argument.
19    During the proceeding any information relevant to any of
20the factors set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by
21either the State or the defendant under the rules governing
22the admission of evidence at criminal trials. Any information
23relevant to any additional aggravating factors or any
24mitigating factors indicated in subsection (c) may be
25presented by the State or defendant regardless of its
26admissibility under the rules governing the admission of

 

 

HB4499- 342 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1evidence at criminal trials. The State and the defendant shall
2be given fair opportunity to rebut any information received at
3the hearing.
4    (f) Proof.
5    The burden of proof of establishing the existence of any
6of the factors set forth in subsection (b) is on the State and
7shall not be satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable
8doubt.
9    (g) Procedure - Jury.
10    If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds
11that none of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists,
12the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
13imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
14Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
15one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist,
16the jury shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as
17instructed by the court and shall determine whether the
18sentence of death shall be imposed. If the jury determines
19unanimously, after weighing the factors in aggravation and
20mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court
21shall sentence the defendant to death. If the court does not
22concur with the jury determination that death is the
23appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in
24writing including what facts or circumstances the court relied
25upon, along with any relevant documents, that compelled the
26court to non-concur with the sentence. This document and any

 

 

HB4499- 343 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1attachments shall be part of the record for appellate review.
2The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing
3determination.
4    If after weighing the factors in aggravation and
5mitigation, one or more jurors determines that death is not
6the appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the
7defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
8Unified Code of Corrections.
9    (h) Procedure - No Jury.
10    In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds
11that none of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the
12court shall sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment
13under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
14    If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set
15forth in subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any
16aggravating and mitigating factors as indicated in subsection
17(c). If the Court determines, after weighing the factors in
18aggravation and mitigation, that death is the appropriate
19sentence, the Court shall sentence the defendant to death.
20    If the court finds that death is not the appropriate
21sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
22imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
23Corrections.
24    (h-5) Decertification as a capital case.
25    In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of
26first degree murder by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for

 

 

HB4499- 344 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1resentencing, and the State seeks the death penalty as an
2appropriate sentence, on the court's own motion or the written
3motion of the defendant, the court may decertify the case as a
4death penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence
5supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated
6testimony of an informant witness, as defined in Section
7115-21 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, concerning
8the confession or admission of the defendant or that the sole
9evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or
10single accomplice without any other corroborating evidence. If
11the court decertifies the case as a capital case under either
12of the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a written
13finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the
14decertification pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If
15the court does not decertify the case as a capital case, the
16matter shall proceed to the eligibility phase of the
17sentencing hearing.
18    (i) Appellate Procedure.
19    The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to
20automatic review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in
21accordance with rules promulgated by the Supreme Court. The
22Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and
23order the imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
24Unified Code of Corrections if the court finds that the death
25sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
26case. If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the death

 

 

HB4499- 345 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
2case, independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the
3Illinois Supreme Court shall issue a written opinion
4explaining this finding.
5    (j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
6    In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to
7be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States
8or of the State of Illinois, any person convicted of first
9degree murder shall be sentenced by the court to a term of
10imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
11Corrections.
12    In the event that any death sentence pursuant to the
13sentencing provisions of this Section is declared
14unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or
15of the State of Illinois, the court having jurisdiction over a
16person previously sentenced to death shall cause the defendant
17to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
18the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
19Unified Code of Corrections.
20    (k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
21    The Attorney General and State's Attorneys Association
22shall consult on voluntary guidelines for procedures governing
23whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines do not
24have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.

20    Sec. 103-5. Speedy trial.)
21    (a) Every person in custody in this State for an alleged
22offense shall be tried by the court having jurisdiction within
23120 days from the date he or she was taken into custody unless
24delay is occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for

3trial, by a continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of
4this Act after a court's determination of the defendant's
5physical incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal.
6Delay shall be considered to be agreed to by the defendant
7unless he or she objects to the delay by making a written

1defendant's failure to appear for any court date set by the
2court operates to waive the defendant's demand for trial made
3under this subsection.
4    For purposes of computing the 160 day period under this
5subsection (b), every person who was in custody for an alleged
6offense and demanded trial and is subsequently released on
7pretrial release bail or recognizance and demands trial, shall
8be given credit for time spent in custody following the making
9of the demand while in custody. Any demand for trial made under
10this subsection (b) shall be in writing; and in the case of a
11defendant not in custody, the demand for trial shall include
12the date of any prior demand made under this provision while
13the defendant was in custody.
14    (c) If the court determines that the State has exercised
15without success due diligence to obtain evidence material to
16the case and that there are reasonable grounds to believe that

19than an additional 60 days. If the court determines that the
20State has exercised without success due diligence to obtain
21results of DNA testing that is material to the case and that
22there are reasonable grounds to believe that such results may

24application of the State for not more than an additional 120
25days.

3release bail or recognizance.
4    (e) If a person is simultaneously in custody upon more
5than one charge pending against him in the same county, or
6simultaneously demands trial upon more than one charge pending
7against him in the same county, he shall be tried, or adjudged
8guilty after waiver of trial, upon at least one such charge
9before expiration relative to any of such pending charges of
10the period prescribed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
11Section. Such person shall be tried upon all of the remaining
12charges thus pending within 160 days from the date on which
13judgment relative to the first charge thus prosecuted is
14rendered pursuant to the Unified Code of Corrections or, if
15such trial upon such first charge is terminated without
16judgment and there is no subsequent trial of, or adjudication
17of guilt after waiver of trial of, such first charge within a
18reasonable time, the person shall be tried upon all of the
19remaining charges thus pending within 160 days from the date
20on which such trial is terminated; if either such period of 160
21days expires without the commencement of trial of, or
22adjudication of guilt after waiver of trial of, any of such
23remaining charges thus pending, such charge or charges shall
24be dismissed and barred for want of prosecution unless delay

15delay the said period shall continue at the point at which it
16was suspended. Where such delay occurs within 21 days of the
17end of the period within which a person shall be tried as
18prescribed by subsections (a), (b), or (e) of this Section,
19the court may continue the cause on application of the State

12in a suitable treatment facility or program, or the court may
13order him placed in an appropriate public or private facility
14or treatment program which has agreed to provide treatment to
15the defendant. The placement may be ordered either on an
16inpatient or an outpatient basis.
17    (d) The clerk of the circuit court shall within 5 days of

19    (b) "Sureties" encompasses the monetary and nonmonetary
20requirements set by the court as conditions for release either
21before or after conviction. "Surety" is one who executes a

16    Sec. 110-2. Release on own recognizance.
17    (a) It is presumed that a defendant is entitled to release
18on personal recognizance on the condition that the defendant
19attend all required court proceedings and the defendant does
20not commit any criminal offense, and complies with all terms
21of pretrial release, including, but not limited to, orders of
22protection under both Section 112A-4 of this Code and Section
23214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, all civil no
24contact orders, and all stalking no contact orders.
25    (b) Additional conditions of release, including those

 

 

HB4499- 381 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1highlighted above, shall be set only when it is determined
2that they are necessary to assure the defendant's appearance
3in court, assure the defendant does not commit any criminal
4offense, and complies with all conditions of pretrial release.
5    (c) Detention only shall be imposed when it is determined
6that the defendant poses a specific, real and present threat
7to a person, or has a high likelihood of willful flight. If the
8court deems that the defendant is to be released on personal
9recognizance, the court may require that a written
10admonishment be signed by When from all the circumstances the
11court is of the opinion that the defendant will appear as
12required either before or after conviction and the defendant
13will not pose a danger to any person or the community and that
14the defendant will comply with all conditions of bond, which
15shall include the defendant's current address with a written
16admonishment to the defendant requiring that he or she must
17comply with the provisions of Section 110-12 of this Code
18regarding any change in his or her address. The , the defendant
19may be released on his or her own recognizance upon signature.
20The defendant's address shall at all times remain a matter of
21public record with the clerk of the court. A failure to appear
22as required by such recognizance shall constitute an offense
23subject to the penalty provided in Section 32-10 of the
24Criminal Code of 2012 for violation of the conditions of
25pretrial release bail bond, and any obligated sum fixed in the
26recognizance shall be forfeited and collected in accordance

1with subsection (g) of Section 110-7 of this Code.
2    (d) If, after the procedures set out in Section 110-6.1,
3the court decides to detain the defendant, the Court must make
4a written finding as to why less restrictive conditions would
5not assure safety to the community and assure the defendant's
6appearance in court. At each subsequent appearance of the
7defendant before the Court, the judge must find that continued
8detention or the current set of conditions imposed are
9necessary to avoid the specific, real and present threat to
10any person or of willful flight from prosecution to continue
11detention of the defendant. The court is not required to be
12presented with new information or a change in circumstance to
13consider reconsidering pretrial detention on current
14conditions.
15    (e) This Section shall be liberally construed to
16effectuate the purpose of relying upon contempt of court
17proceedings or criminal sanctions instead of financial loss to
18assure the appearance of the defendant, and that the defendant
19will not pose a danger to any person or the community and that
20the defendant will not pose comply with all conditions of
21bond. Monetary bail should be set only when it is determined
22that no other conditions of release will reasonably assure the
23defendant's appearance in court, that the defendant does not
24present a danger to any person or the community and that the
25defendant will comply with all conditions of pretrial release

3person, rather than revoking pretrial release or issuing a

5subsections (d) and (e) of Section 110-5. When a defendant is
6at liberty on pretrial release bail or his own recognizance on
7a felony charge and fails to appear in court as directed, the
8court may shall issue a warrant for the arrest of such person
9after his or her failure to appear at the show for cause
10hearing as provided in this Section. Such warrant shall be
11noted with a directive to peace officers to arrest the person
12and hold such person without pretrial release bail and to
13deliver such person before the court for further proceedings.
14    (d) If the order as described in Subsection B is issued, a
15failure to appear shall not be recorded until the Defendant
16fails to appear at the hearing to show cause. For the purpose
17of any risk assessment or future evaluation of risk of willful
18flight or risk of failure to appear, a non-appearance in court
19cured by an appearance at the hearing to show cause shall not
20be considered as evidence of future likelihood appearance in
21court. A defendant who is arrested or surrenders within 30
22days of the issuance of such warrant shall not be bailable in
23the case in question unless he shows by the preponderance of
24the evidence that his failure to appear was not intentional.

2her pretrial conditions hearing after having been ordered
3released with pretrial conditions, the court shall hold a

6unavailability or the defendant's ineligibility for one or
7more pretrial conditions previously ordered by the court or
8directed by a pretrial services agency, the court shall reopen
9the conditions of release hearing to determine what available
10pretrial conditions exist that will reasonably assure the

2protect an identifiable person or persons from imminent threat
3of serious physical harm.
4    (h) If the court imposes electronic monitoring, GPS
5monitoring, or home confinement the court shall set forth in
6the record the basis for its finding. A defendant shall be

8that program, at the same rate described in subsection (b) of
9Section 5-4.5-100 of the unified code of correction.
10    (i) If electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home
11confinement is imposed, the court shall determine every 60
12days if no less restrictive condition of release or
13combination of less restrictive conditions of release would
14reasonably ensure the appearance, or continued appearance, of
15the defendant for later hearings or protect an identifiable
16person or persons from imminent threat of serious physical
17harm. If the court finds that there are less restrictive
18conditions of release, the court shall order that the
19condition be removed.
20    (j) Crime Victims shall be given notice by the State's
21Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1)
22of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims

15    physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and
16    continuing custody is necessary to prevent the fulfillment
17    of the threat upon which the charge is based; or

3    commenced within 10 days from the date the defendant is
4    taken into custody or the defendant may not be held any
5    longer without bail, unless delay is occasioned by the
6    defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the
7    running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
8    resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
9    defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days
10    remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a
11    period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good
12    cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the right to
13    proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time,
14    upon reasonable notice to the defendant and the court.

8    hearing. Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a
9    result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
10    improper interrogation is not relevant to this hearing.
11        (3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has
12    established by clear and convincing evidence that the
13    defendant has committed a forcible felony or a Class 2 or
14    greater offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances
15    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
16    Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to
17    bail, or where the defendant is on bail for a felony
18    domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to subsection (b) of
19    Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
20    Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated domestic battery,
21    aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated
22    unlawful restraint or domestic battery in violation of

25    a family or household member as defined in Section 112A-3
26    of this Code and the violation is an offense of domestic

 

 

HB4499- 424 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    battery, against the same victim, the court shall revoke
2    the bail of the defendant and hold the defendant for trial
3    without bail. Neither the finding of the court nor any
4    transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
5    admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
6    admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
7    115-10.1 of this Code or in a perjury proceeding.
8        (4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant
9    to paragraph (f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may
10    demand and shall be entitled to be brought to trial on the
11    offense with respect to which he was formerly released on
12    bail within 90 days after the date on which his bail was
13    revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within
14    the 90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he
15    shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the 90
16    day period, the court shall omit any period of delay
17    resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the
18    defendant.
19        (5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant
20    issued pursuant to this Code or is arrested for an
21    unrelated offense and it is subsequently discovered that
22    the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
23    issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be
24    transferred promptly to the court which issued such

2    the defendant has committed an offense listed in
3    paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a) for which a
4    sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
5    imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed by
6    law as a consequence of conviction, and
7        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
8    the physical safety of a specific, identifiable any person
9    or persons, by conduct which may include, but is not
10    limited to, a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
11    intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)

20    threat to the safety of any , can reasonably assure the
21    physical safety of any other person or persons or the
22    defendant's willful flight.
23    (f) (c) Conduct of the hearings.
24        (1) Prior to the hearing the State shall tender to the
25    defendant copies of defendant's criminal history
26    available, any written or recorded statements, and the

 

 

HB4499- 432 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
2    relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
3    reports in the State's Attorney's possession at the time
4    of the hearing that are required to be disclosed to the
5    defense under Illinois Supreme Court rules. The hearing on
6    the defendant's culpability and dangerousness shall be
7    conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
8        (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
9    hearing (A) Information used by the court in its findings
10    or stated in or offered at such hearing may be by way of
11    proffer based upon reliable information offered by the
12    State or by defendant.
13        (3) The defendant Defendant has the right to be
14    represented by counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to
15    have counsel appointed for him or her. The defendant .
16    Defendant shall have the opportunity to testify, to
17    present witnesses on in his or her own behalf, and to
18    cross-examine any witnesses that if any are called by the
19    State.
20        (4) If the defense seeks to call the complaining
21    witness as a witness in its favor, it shall petition the
22    court for permission. The defendant has the right to
23    present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of justice
24    so require, the court may exercise exercises its
25    discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
26    witness. The court shall state on the record reasons for

 

 

HB4499- 433 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
2    complaining witness. In making a determination under this
3    section, the court shall state on the record the reason
4    for granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
5    complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
6    court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
7    defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
8    witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
9    complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
10    the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
11    insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
12    In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
13    complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
14    emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
15    pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
16    of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
17    do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
18    prior to the hearing, copies of defendant's criminal
19    history, if any, if available, and any written or recorded
20    statements and the substance of any oral statements made
21    by any person, if relied upon by the State in its petition.
22        (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
23    in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
24    consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
25    concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
26    neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or

 

 

HB4499- 434 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
2    State's case in chief, but shall be admissible for
3    impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
4    Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
5        (6) The (B) A motion by the defendant may not move to
6    suppress evidence or to suppress a confession, however,
7    evidence shall not be entertained. Evidence that proof of
8    the charged crime may have been obtained as the result of
9    an unlawful search or and seizure, or both, or through
10    improper interrogation, is not relevant in assessing the
11    weight of the evidence against the defendant to this state
12    of the prosecution.
13        (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of release
14    and detention prior trial should be individualized, and no
15    single factor or standard should be used exclusively to
16    make a condition or detention decision.
17        (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
18    finding that the defendant poses a real and present threat
19    to the physical safety of any person or persons shall be
20    supported by clear and convincing evidence presented by
21    the State.
22    (g) (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination
23of dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
24defendant poses a specific, imminent real and present threat
25of serious to the physical harm to an identifiable safety of
26any person or persons, consider but shall not be limited to

10        include testimony or documents received in juvenile
11        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
12        commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings.
13            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
14        psychiatric or other similar social history which
15        tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
16        nature, or lack of any such history.

2    Sec. 110-6.4. Statewide risk-assessment tool. The Supreme
3Court may establish a statewide risk-assessment tool to be
4used in proceedings to assist the court in establishing
5conditions of pretrial release bail for a defendant by
6assessing the defendant's likelihood of appearing at future
7court proceedings or determining if the defendant poses a real
8and present threat to the physical safety of any person or
9persons. The Supreme Court shall consider establishing a
10risk-assessment tool that does not discriminate on the basis
11of race, gender, educational level, socio-economic status, or
12neighborhood. If a risk-assessment tool is utilized within a
13circuit that does not require a personal interview to be
14completed, the Chief Judge of the circuit or the director of
15the pretrial services agency may exempt the requirement under
16Section 9 and subsection (a) of Section 7 of the Pretrial
17Services Act.
18    For the purpose of this Section, "risk-assessment tool"
19means an empirically validated, evidence-based screening
20instrument that demonstrates reduced instances of a
21defendant's failure to appear for further court proceedings or
22prevents future criminal activity.

HB4499- 454 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
2        Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence

14the protective order were committed, to the extent consistent
15with the venue provisions of this Article. Nothing in this
16Article shall preclude any Illinois court from enforcing any
17valid protective order issued in another state. Illinois

13Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
14(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
151963 shall be void.
16    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
17not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not

19victim.

25    penalty that generally applies in such criminal or
26    contempt proceedings, and may include one or more of the

13        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
14        as victim and respondent as defendant;
15            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
16        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any

18            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
19        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
20        violation of a protective order
21    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
22    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
23    unjust.
24        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
25    violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
26    consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:

 

 

HB4499- 459 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

2        1986, in a valid order of protection, which is
3        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
4        United States territory, or
5            (iii) or any other remedy when the act constitutes
6        a crime against the protected parties as defined by
7        the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
8        Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence
9    order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution

1        (3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
2    civil no contact order when the respondent violates
3    Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution

16any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
17criminal proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal
18contempt procedures, as appropriate, by any court with
19jurisdiction, regardless where the act or acts which violated
20the protective order were committed, to the extent consistent
21with the venue provisions of this Article. Nothing in this
22Article shall preclude any Illinois court from enforcing any
23valid protective order issued in another state. Illinois
24courts may enforce protective orders through both criminal
25prosecution and contempt proceedings, unless the action which

HB4499- 462 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.

4    immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
5    jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
6    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
7    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
8    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
9    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
10    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
11        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
12    of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
13    proceeding.
14    (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
15responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
16described in paragraph paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of
17subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced
18by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois
19Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may
20enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) of
21subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner
22provided for under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and
23Dissolution of Marriage Act.
24    (d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced
25pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order
26after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as

 

 

HB4499- 463 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1shown through one of the following means:
2        (1) (Blank).
3        (2) (Blank).
4        (3) By service of a protective order under subsection
5    (f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code.
6        (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
7    the contents of the order.
8    (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
9criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
10following:
11        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
12    entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
13        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
14    criminal proceeding.
15    (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
16(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
171963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
18Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
19Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
20(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
211963 shall be void.
22    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
23not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
24require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
25victim.
26    (g) Penalties.

 

 

HB4499- 464 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
2    subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
3    crime or contempt of court under subsection subsections
4    (a) or (b) of this Section, the penalty shall be the
5    penalty that generally applies in such criminal or
6    contempt proceedings, and may include one or more of the
7    following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
8    payment of attorneys' fees and costs, or community
9    service.
10        (2) The court shall hear and take into account
11    evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
12    before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
13    of this subsection (g).
14        (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
15    encouraged to:
16            (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
17        of any protective order over any penalty previously
18        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
19        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
20        as victim and respondent as defendant;
21            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
22        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
23        protective order; and
24            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
25        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
26        violation of a protective order

 

 

HB4499- 465 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
2    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
3    unjust.
4        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
5    violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
6    consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
7            (i) to increase, revoke, or modify the conditions
8        of pretrial release bail bond on an underlying
9        criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of this
10        Code;
11            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
12        conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to
13        Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
14            (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
15        imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified

23    (b) The court shall require any motion to dismiss to be

HB4499- 467 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1grounds therefor, except as to subsections (a)(6) and (a)(8)
2of this Section, are waived.
3    (c) If the motion presents only an issue of law the court
4shall determine it without the necessity of further pleadings.
5If the motion alleges facts not of record in the case the State
6shall file an answer admitting or denying each of the factual
7allegations of the motion.
8    (d) When an issue of fact is presented by a motion to

10proper place of trial.

12    (725 ILCS 5/115-4.1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 115-4.1)
13    Sec. 115-4.1. Absence of defendant.
14    (a) When a defendant after arrest and an initial court
15appearance for a non-capital felony or a misdemeanor, fails to
16appear for trial, at the request of the State and after the
17State has affirmatively proven through substantial evidence
18that the defendant is willfully avoiding trial, the court may
19commence trial in the absence of the defendant. Absence of a
20defendant as specified in this Section shall not be a bar to
21indictment of a defendant, return of information against a
22defendant, or arraignment of a defendant for the charge for
23which pretrial release bail has been granted. If a defendant
24fails to appear at arraignment, the court may enter a plea of
25"not guilty" on his behalf. If a defendant absents himself

 

 

HB4499- 469 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1before trial on a capital felony, trial may proceed as
2specified in this Section provided that the State certifies
3that it will not seek a death sentence following conviction.
4Trial in the defendant's absence shall be by jury unless the
5defendant had previously waived trial by jury. The absent
6defendant must be represented by retained or appointed
7counsel. The court, at the conclusion of all of the
8proceedings, may order the clerk of the circuit court to pay
9counsel such sum as the court deems reasonable, from any bond
10monies which were posted by the defendant with the clerk,
11after the clerk has first deducted all court costs. If trial
12had previously commenced in the presence of the defendant and
13the defendant willfully absents himself for two successive
14court days, the court shall proceed to trial. All procedural
15rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution,
16Constitution of the State of Illinois, statutes of the State
17of Illinois, and rules of court shall apply to the proceedings
18the same as if the defendant were present in court and had not
19either had his or her pretrial release revoked forfeited his
20bail bond or escaped from custody. The court may set the case
21for a trial which may be conducted under this Section despite
22the failure of the defendant to appear at the hearing at which
23the trial date is set. When such trial date is set the clerk
24shall send to the defendant, by certified mail at his last
25known address indicated on his bond slip, notice of the new
26date which has been set for trial. Such notification shall be

 

 

HB4499- 470 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1required when the defendant was not personally present in open
2court at the time when the case was set for trial.
3    (b) The absence of a defendant from a trial conducted
4pursuant to this Section does not operate as a bar to
5concluding the trial, to a judgment of conviction resulting
6therefrom, or to a final disposition of the trial in favor of
7the defendant.
8    (c) Upon a verdict of not guilty, the court shall enter
9judgment for the defendant. Upon a verdict of guilty, the
10court shall set a date for the hearing of post-trial motions
11and shall hear such motion in the absence of the defendant. If
12post-trial motions are denied, the court shall proceed to
13conduct a sentencing hearing and to impose a sentence upon the
14defendant.
15    (d) A defendant who is absent for part of the proceedings
16of trial, post-trial motions, or sentencing, does not thereby
17forfeit his right to be present at all remaining proceedings.
18    (e) When a defendant who in his absence has been either
19convicted or sentenced or both convicted and sentenced appears
20before the court, he must be granted a new trial or new
21sentencing hearing if the defendant can establish that his
22failure to appear in court was both without his fault and due
23to circumstances beyond his control. A hearing with notice to
24the State's Attorney on the defendant's request for a new
25trial or a new sentencing hearing must be held before any such
26request may be granted. At any such hearing both the defendant

 

 

HB4499- 471 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1and the State may present evidence.
2    (f) If the court grants only the defendant's request for a
3new sentencing hearing, then a new sentencing hearing shall be
4held in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Code of
5Corrections. At any such hearing, both the defendant and the
6State may offer evidence of the defendant's conduct during his
7period of absence from the court. The court may impose any
8sentence authorized by the Unified Code of Corrections and is
9not in any way limited or restricted by any sentence
10previously imposed.
11    (g) A defendant whose motion under paragraph (e) for a new
12trial or new sentencing hearing has been denied may file a
13notice of appeal therefrom. Such notice may also include a
14request for review of the judgment and sentence not vacated by
15the trial court.

20oral testimony, or other evidence. In its discretion the court
21may order the petitioner brought before the court for the
22hearing. If the court finds in favor of the petitioner, it
23shall enter an appropriate order with respect to the judgment
24or sentence in the former proceedings and such supplementary

5    Section 235. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
6amended by reenacting Sections 110-6.3, 110-6.5, 110-7, 110-8,
7110-9, 110-13, 110-14, 110-15, 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 as
8follows:
 
9    (725 ILCS 5/110-6.3)  (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6.3)
10    Sec. 110-6.3. Denial of bail in stalking and aggravated
11stalking offenses.
12    (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
13hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a
14defendant who is charged with stalking or aggravated stalking,
15when it is alleged that the defendant's admission to bail
16poses a real and present threat to the physical safety of the
17alleged victim of the offense, and denial of release on bail or
18personal recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
19the threat upon which the charge is based.
20        (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
21    the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
22    within 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
23    110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
24    reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while the

 

 

HB4499- 479 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
2    previously released shall not be detained.
3        (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
4    defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
5    cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
6    continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may
7    not exceed 5 calendar days, and the defendant may be held
8    in custody during the continuance. A continuance on the
9    motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days;
10    however, the defendant may be held in custody during the
11    continuance under this provision if the defendant has been
12    previously found to have violated an order of protection
13    or has been previously convicted of, or granted court
14    supervision for, any of the offenses set forth in Sections
15    11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-2,
16    12-3.05, 12-3.2, 12-3.3, 12-4, 12-4.1, 12-7.3, 12-7.4,
17    12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code
18    of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, against the same
19    person as the alleged victim of the stalking or aggravated
20    stalking offense.
21    (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant when, after
22the hearing, it is determined that:
23        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
24    the defendant has committed the offense of stalking or
25    aggravated stalking; and
26        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to

 

 

HB4499- 480 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense;
2    and
3        (3) the denial of release on bail or personal
4    recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the
5    threat upon which the charge is based; and
6        (4) the court finds that no condition or combination
7    of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section
8    110-10 of this Code, including mental health treatment at
9    a community mental health center, hospital, or facility of
10    the Department of Human Services, can reasonably assure
11    the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense.
12    (c) Conduct of the hearings.
13        (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
14    threat to the alleged victim of the offense shall be
15    conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
16            (A) Information used by the court in its findings
17        or stated in or offered at the hearing may be by way of
18        proffer based upon reliable information offered by the
19        State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to be
20        represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to have
21        counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have the
22        opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in his
23        own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any are
24        called by the State. The defendant has the right to
25        present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of
26        justice so require, the court may exercise its

 

 

HB4499- 481 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
2        witness. The court shall state on the record reasons
3        for granting a defense request to compel the presence
4        of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
5        complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
6        for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility
7        is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
8        witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
9        of a complaining witness, the court shall be
10        considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
11        of the witness. The pretrial detention hearing is not
12        to be used for the purposes of discovery, and the post
13        arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
14        shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
15        copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if
16        available, and any written or recorded statements and
17        the substance of any oral statements made by any
18        person, if relied upon by the State. The rules
19        concerning the admissibility of evidence in criminal
20        trials do not apply to the presentation and
21        consideration of information at the hearing. At the
22        trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was
23        conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
24        transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
25        admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
26        admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section

 

 

HB4499- 482 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
2            (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence
3        or to suppress a confession shall not be entertained.
4        Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the
5        result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
6        improper interrogation is not relevant to this state
7        of the prosecution.
8        (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
9    finding that:
10            (A) the defendant poses a real and present threat
11        to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the
12        offense; and
13            (B) the denial of release on bail or personal
14        recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
15        the threat upon which the charge is based;
16    shall be supported by clear and convincing evidence
17    presented by the State.
18    (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
19the threat to the alleged victim of the offense. The court may,
20in determining whether the defendant poses, at the time of the
21hearing, a real and present threat to the physical safety of
22the alleged victim of the offense, consider but shall not be
23limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
24        (1) The nature and circumstances of the offense
25    charged;
26        (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant

 

 

HB4499- 483 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    including:
2            (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
3        history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
4        behavior, or lack of that behavior. The evidence may
5        include testimony or documents received in juvenile
6        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
7        commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings;
8            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
9        psychiatric or other similar social history that tends
10        to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive nature,
11        or lack of any such history.
12        (3) The nature of the threat which is the basis of the
13    charge against the defendant;
14        (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
15    defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
16    them;
17        (5) The age and physical condition of any person
18    assaulted by the defendant;
19        (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
20    access to any weapon or weapons;
21        (7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
22    other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
23    parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
24    other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
25    appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
26    federal or state law;

 

 

HB4499- 484 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (8) Any other factors, including those listed in
2    Section 110-5 of this Code, deemed by the court to have a
3    reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
4    reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or
5    lack of that behavior.
6    (e) The court shall, in any order denying bail to a person
7charged with stalking or aggravated stalking:
8        (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's
9    culpability and its reasons for concluding that the
10    defendant should be held without bail;
11        (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
12    custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
13    pending trial;
14        (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
15    opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
16    communication with others of his choice by visitation,
17    mail and telephone; and
18        (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
19    required for appearances in connection with court
20    proceedings.
21    (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the
22defendant under subsection (e) of this Section, the defendant
23shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he is
24detained within 90 days after the date on which the order for
25detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to
26trial within the 90 day period required by this subsection

 

 

HB4499- 485 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1(f), he shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the
290 day period, the court shall omit any period of delay
3resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the
4defendant. The court shall immediately notify the alleged
5victim of the offense that the defendant has been admitted to
6bail under this subsection.
7    (g) Any person shall be entitled to appeal any order
8entered under this Section denying bail to the defendant.
9    (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
10Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
11    (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
12modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
13of innocence in further criminal proceedings.

17    Sec. 110-6.5. Drug testing program. The Chief Judge of the
18circuit may establish a drug testing program as provided by
19this Section in any county in the circuit if the county board
20has approved the establishment of the program and the county
21probation department or pretrial services agency has consented
22to administer it. The drug testing program shall be conducted
23under the following provisions:
24    (a) The court, in the case of a defendant charged with a
25felony offense or any offense involving the possession or

 

 

HB4499- 486 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1delivery of cannabis or a controlled substance, shall:
2        (1) not consider the release of the defendant on his
3    or her own recognizance, unless the defendant consents to
4    periodic drug testing during the period of release on his
5    or her own recognizance, in accordance with this Section;
6        (2) consider the consent of the defendant to periodic
7    drug testing during the period of release on bail in
8    accordance with this Section as a favorable factor for the
9    defendant in determining the amount of bail, the
10    conditions of release or in considering the defendant's
11    motion to reduce the amount of bail.
12    (b) The drug testing shall be conducted by the pretrial
13services agency or under the direction of the probation
14department when a pretrial services agency does not exist in
15accordance with this Section.
16    (c) A defendant who consents to periodic drug testing as
17set forth in this Section shall sign an agreement with the
18court that, during the period of release, the defendant shall
19refrain from using illegal drugs and that the defendant will
20comply with the conditions of the testing program. The
21agreement shall be on a form prescribed by the court and shall
22be executed at the time of the bail hearing. This agreement
23shall be made a specific condition of bail.
24    (d) The drug testing program shall be conducted as
25follows:
26        (1) The testing shall be done by urinalysis for the

 

 

HB4499- 487 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    detection of phencyclidine, heroin, cocaine, methadone and
2    amphetamines.
3        (2) The collection of samples shall be performed under
4    reasonable and sanitary conditions.
5        (3) Samples shall be collected and tested with due
6    regard for the privacy of the individual being tested and
7    in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent substitutions
8    or interference with the collection or testing of reliable
9    samples.
10        (4) Sample collection shall be documented, and the
11    documentation procedures shall include:
12            (i) Labeling of samples so as to reasonably
13        preclude the probability of erroneous identification
14        of test results; and
15            (ii) An opportunity for the defendant to provide
16        information on the identification of prescription or
17        nonprescription drugs used in connection with a
18        medical condition.
19        (5) Sample collection, storage, and transportation to
20    the place of testing shall be performed so as to
21    reasonably preclude the probability of sample
22    contamination or adulteration.
23        (6) Sample testing shall conform to scientifically
24    accepted analytical methods and procedures. Testing shall
25    include verification or confirmation of any positive test
26    result by a reliable analytical method before the result

 

 

HB4499- 488 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    of any test may be used as a basis for any action by the
2    court.
3    (e) The initial sample shall be collected before the
4defendant's release on bail. Thereafter, the defendant shall
5report to the pretrial services agency or probation department
6as required by the agency or department. The pretrial services
7agency or probation department shall immediately notify the
8court of any defendant who fails to report for testing.
9    (f) After the initial test, a subsequent confirmed
10positive test result indicative of continued drug use shall
11result in the following:
12        (1) Upon the first confirmed positive test result, the
13    pretrial services agency or probation department, shall
14    place the defendant on a more frequent testing schedule
15    and shall warn the defendant of the consequences of
16    continued drug use.
17        (2) A second confirmed positive test result shall be
18    grounds for a hearing before the judge who authorized the
19    release of the defendant in accordance with the provisions
20    of subsection (g) of this Section.
21    (g) The court shall, upon motion of the State or upon its
22own motion, conduct a hearing in connection with any defendant
23who fails to appear for testing, fails to cooperate with the
24persons conducting the testing program, attempts to submit a
25sample not his or her own or has had a confirmed positive test
26result indicative of continued drug use for the second or

 

 

HB4499- 489 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1subsequent time after the initial test. The hearing shall be
2conducted in accordance with the procedures of Section 110-6.
3    Upon a finding by the court that the State has established
4by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has
5violated the drug testing conditions of bail, the court may
6consider any of the following sanctions:
7        (1) increase the amount of the defendant's bail or
8    conditions of release;

20    Sec. 110-7. Deposit of bail security.
21    (a) The person for whom bail has been set shall execute the
22bail bond and deposit with the clerk of the court before which
23the proceeding is pending a sum of money equal to 10% of the
24bail, but in no event shall such deposit be less than $25. The
25clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a

 

 

HB4499- 490 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1person other than the accused who has provided the money for
2the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an
3accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a
4person other than the accused has provided the money for the
5posting of bail. The form shall also include a written notice
6to such person who has provided the defendant with the money
7for the posting of bail indicating that the bail may be used to
8pay costs, attorney's fees, fines, or other purposes
9authorized by the court and if the defendant fails to comply
10with the conditions of the bail bond, the court shall enter an
11order declaring the bail to be forfeited. The written notice
12must be: (1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in
13bold type or underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2
14points larger than the surrounding type. When a person for
15whom bail has been set is charged with an offense under the
16Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine
17Control and Community Protection Act which is a Class X
18felony, or making a terrorist threat in violation of Section
1929D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
202012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a terrorist
21threat, the court may require the defendant to deposit a sum
22equal to 100% of the bail. Where any person is charged with a
23forcible felony while free on bail and is the subject of
24proceedings under Section 109-3 of this Code the judge
25conducting the preliminary examination may also conduct a
26hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to the

 

 

HB4499- 491 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or revoke
2the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.
3    (b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized
4by law, the person shall be released from custody subject to
5the conditions of the bail bond.
6    (c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is
7thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
8jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
9in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of
10this Code.
11    (d) After conviction the court may order that the original
12bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce
13bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
14    (e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing
15or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the
16reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
17sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
18amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal
19subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
20    (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
21performed and the accused has been discharged from all
22obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to
23the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment
24executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the
25court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been
26deposited and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount

 

 

HB4499- 492 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by
2the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding
3the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
4more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as
5bail bond costs exceed $100. Bail bond deposited by or on
6behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's
7discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same
8defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court
9costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of
10record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more,
11the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf
12of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial
13obligations of that same defendant in a different case until
14the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and
15attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been
16deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are
17satisfied. In counties with a population of less than
183,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or
19on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy
20financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
21case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
22in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
23    At the request of the defendant the court may order such
2490% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is
25repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
26defendant's attorney of record.

 

 

HB4499- 493 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
2the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
3order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
4of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
5last known address. If the accused does not appear and
6surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
7the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
8court that appearance and surrender by the accused is
9impossible and without his fault the court shall enter
10judgment for the State if the charge for which the bond was
11given was a felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was
12quasi-criminal or traffic, judgment for the political
13subdivision of the State which prosecuted the case, against

10    pay and other benefits resulting from court appearances;
11        (6) shall provide, whenever possible, a secure waiting

21    means;
22        (8) (blank);
23        (8.5) shall inform the victim of the right to be

1    other testimony at trial;

23    about the effect the offense has had on the victim and the
24    person;
25        (10) at the sentencing shall make a good faith attempt
26    to explain the minimum amount of time during which the

 

 

HB4499- 512 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    defendant may actually be physically imprisoned. The
2    Office of the State's Attorney shall further notify the
3    crime victim of the right to request from the Prisoner
4    Review Board or Department of Juvenile Justice information
5    concerning the release of the defendant;
6        (11) shall request restitution at sentencing and as
7    part of a plea agreement if the victim requests

13    under subparagraph (d)(2) of this Section;
14        (13) shall provide notice within a reasonable time
15    after receipt of notice from the custodian, of the release

18        (14) shall explain in nontechnical language the
19    details of any plea or verdict of a defendant, or any

21        (15) shall make all reasonable efforts to consult with
22    the crime victim before the Office of the State's Attorney
23    makes an offer of a plea bargain to the defendant or enters
24    into negotiations with the defendant concerning a possible
25    plea agreement, and shall consider the written statement,
26    if prepared prior to entering into a plea agreement. The

 

 

HB4499- 513 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    right to consult with the prosecutor does not include the
2    right to veto a plea agreement or to insist the case go to
3    trial. If the State's Attorney has not consulted with the
4    victim prior to making an offer or entering into plea
5    negotiations with the defendant, the Office of the State's
6    Attorney shall notify the victim of the offer or the
7    negotiations within 2 business days and confer with the
8    victim;

10    of the cases arising from an indictment or an information,

22    petition. Whenever possible, notice of the hearing shall
23    be given within 48 hours of the court's scheduling of the
24    hearing; and
25        (19) shall forward a copy of any statement presented
26    under Section 6 to the Prisoner Review Board or Department

 

 

HB4499- 514 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    of Juvenile Justice to be considered in making a
2    determination under Section 3-2.5-85 or subsection (b) of
3    Section 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
4    (c) The court shall ensure that the rights of the victim
5are afforded.
6    (c-5) The following procedures shall be followed to afford
7victims the rights guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the
8Illinois Constitution:
9        (1) Written notice. A victim may complete a written
10    notice of intent to assert rights on a form prepared by the
11    Office of the Attorney General and provided to the victim
12    by the State's Attorney. The victim may at any time
13    provide a revised written notice to the State's Attorney.
14    The State's Attorney shall file the written notice with
15    the court. At the beginning of any court proceeding in
16    which the right of a victim may be at issue, the court and
17    prosecutor shall review the written notice to determine
18    whether the victim has asserted the right that may be at
19    issue.
20        (2) Victim's retained attorney. A victim's attorney
21    shall file an entry of appearance limited to assertion of
22    the victim's rights. Upon the filing of the entry of
23    appearance and service on the State's Attorney and the
24    defendant, the attorney is to receive copies of all
25    notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the
26    case.

 

 

HB4499- 515 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (3) Standing. The victim has standing to assert the
2    rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section
3    8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
4    under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising
5    jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting
6    attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
7    assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
8    case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
9    court proceeding, including on appeal.
10        (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
11            (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
12        victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
13        filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
14        requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
15        case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
16        attorney shall consult with the victim and the
17        victim's attorney regarding the assertion or
18        enforcement of a right. If the prosecuting attorney
19        decides not to assert or enforce a victim's right, the
20        prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the
21        victim's attorney in sufficient time to allow the
22        victim or the victim's attorney to assert the right or
23        to seek enforcement of a right.
24            (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
25        assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
26        right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert

 

 

HB4499- 516 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        the victim's right or request enforcement of a right
2        by filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
3        requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
4        case outside the presence of the jury.
5            (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
6        right or seeks enforcement of a right, and the court
7        denies the assertion of the right or denies the
8        request for enforcement of a right, the victim or
9        victim's attorney may file a motion to assert the
10        victim's right or to request enforcement of the right
11        within 10 days of the court's ruling. The motion need
12        not demonstrate the grounds for a motion for
13        reconsideration. The court shall rule on the merits of
14        the motion.
15            (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
16        or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
17        victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
18        period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
19        for any decision denying the motion or request shall
20        be clearly stated on the record.
21        (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
22            (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
23        has been violated, the court shall determine the
24        appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
25        right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
26        considering all factors relevant to the issue, and

 

 

HB4499- 517 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        then awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
2            (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
3        nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
4        or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
5        labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
6        violation of a victim's right.
7            (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
8        actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
9        which the victim was entitled and may include
10        reopening previously held proceedings; however, in no
11        event shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy
12        shall be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate
13        remedy without violating any constitutional right of
14        the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate
15        remedy be a new trial, damages, or costs.
16        (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
17    to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
18    the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
19        (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
20    motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
21    prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
22    specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
23    constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
24    offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
25    30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
26    forth on the record the facts that support its finding

 

 

HB4499- 518 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if
2    the victim hears other testimony at trial.
3        (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
4    at court proceedings.
5            (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
6        witness at trial must seek permission of the court
7        before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
8        written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
9        forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
10        testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding
11        (i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the
12        advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
13        materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
14        shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
15        days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
16        a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
17        anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
18        privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
19        relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
20        not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
21        court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
22        appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
23        prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
24        to seek appellate review before the advocate is
25        required to testify at an ex parte in camera
26        proceeding.

 

 

HB4499- 519 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1            The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
2        advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
3        the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after
4        conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court
5        determines that due process requires any testimony
6        regarding confidential or privileged information or
7        communications, the court shall provide to the
8        prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
9        attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
10        advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
11        victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
12        to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
13        issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
14        presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte
15        in camera proceeding does not make the substance of
16        the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
17        inadmissible subject to discovery.
18            (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
19        support person present at the court proceedings, the
20        victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
21        has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
22        prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
23        prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
24        defendant. If the defendant intends to call the
25        support person as a witness at trial, the defendant
26        must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is

 

 

HB4499- 520 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        issued. The defendant must file a written motion at
2        least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth
3        specifically the issues on which the support person
4        will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the
5        content of the anticipated testimony of the support
6        person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
7        materiality of the anticipated testimony.
8            If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
9        support person as a witness during the State's
10        case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
11        the court of this intent in the response to the
12        defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
13        different person to be the victim's support person.
14        The court may allow the defendant to inquire about
15        matters outside the scope of the direct examination
16        during cross-examination. If the court allows the
17        defendant to do so, the support person shall be
18        allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support
19        person has testified. A defendant who fails to
20        question the support person about matters outside the
21        scope of direct examination during the State's
22        case-in-chief waives the right to challenge the
23        presence of the support person on appeal. The court
24        shall allow the support person to testify if called as
25        a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the
26        State's rebuttal.

 

 

HB4499- 521 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1            If the court does not allow the defendant to
2        inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
3        examination, the support person shall be allowed to
4        remain in the courtroom after the support person has
5        been called by the defendant or the defendant has
6        rested. The court shall allow the support person to
7        testify in the State's rebuttal.
8            If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to
9        call the support person in the State's case-in-chief,
10        the court shall verify with the support person whether
11        the support person, if called as a witness, would
12        testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the
13        court finds that the support person would testify as
14        set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule
15        on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of
16        the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
17        anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
18        issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
19        the courtroom after the support person testifies and
20        shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
21            If the court excludes the victim's support person
22        during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
23        allowed to choose another support person to be present
24        in court.
25            If the victim fails to designate a support person
26        within 60 days of trial and the defendant has

 

 

HB4499- 522 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
2        court may exclude the support person from the trial
3        until the support person testifies. If the court
4        excludes the support person the victim may choose
5        another person as a support person.
6        (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
7    confidential or privileged information or records. A
8    defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
9    the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
10    seek permission of the court before the subpoena is
11    issued. The defendant must file a written motion and an
12    offer of proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
13    materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
14    preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are
15    not protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
16    contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
17    is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
18    court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of
19    the records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in
20    camera. If, after conducting an in camera review of the
21    records, the court determines that due process requires
22    disclosure of any portion of the records, the court shall
23    provide copies of what it intends to disclose to the
24    prosecuting attorney and the victim. The prosecuting
25    attorney and the victim shall have 30 days to seek
26    appellate review before the records are disclosed to the

 

 

HB4499- 523 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    defendant. The disclosure of copies of any portion of the
2    records to the prosecuting attorney does not make the
3    records subject to discovery.
4        (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
5    victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
6    right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
7    prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of
8    the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and
9    that the victim had a right to be heard at the court
10    proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was
11    not given or that the victim was not adequately informed
12    of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not
13    rule on any substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a
14    sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time
15    necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and
16    nature of the court proceeding. The time between court
17    proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under
18    Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
19        (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
20    has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
21    minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
22    from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling
23    on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding,
24    the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the
25    request for the delay and, if the victim has provided
26    written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely

 

 

HB4499- 524 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
2    If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
3    court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has
4    not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
5    prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
6    confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
7    to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
8    victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
9    prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
10    confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
11    the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
12    continuance, the number and length of continuances that
13    have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
14    to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
15    the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
16    record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
17    that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
18        (12) Right to Restitution.
19            (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
20        restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
21        the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
22        judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
23            (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
24        restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
25        at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall,
26        within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what

 

 

HB4499- 525 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        information and documentation related to restitution
2        is needed and that the information and documentation
3        must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days
4        after sentencing. Failure to timely provide
5        information and documentation related to restitution
6        shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution.
7        The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days
8        after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution
9        and a notice that includes information concerning the
10        identity of any victims or other persons seeking
11        restitution, whether any victim or other person
12        expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount
13        of any damages together with any supporting
14        documentation, a restitution amount recommendation,
15        and the names of any co-defendants and their case
16        numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed
17        judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any
18        objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of
19        grounds for the objection, and a financial statement.
20        If the defendant does not file an objection, the court
21        may enter the judgment for restitution without further
22        proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and
23        either party requests a hearing, the court shall
24        schedule a hearing.
25        (13) Access to presentence reports.
26            (A) The victim may request a copy of the

 

 

HB4499- 526 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
2        Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
3        Attorney shall redact the following information before
4        providing a copy of the report:
5                (i) the defendant's mental history and
6            condition;
7                (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
8            (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
9                (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
10            other personal information about any other victim.
11            (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
12        request the court redact other information in the
13        report that may endanger the safety of any person.
14            (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to
15        the victim any of the information that has been
16        redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the
17        information will be stated in court at the sentencing.
18            (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
19        that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
20        the report and other information. Any dissemination of
21        the report or information that was not stated at a
22        court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
23        contempt of court.
24        (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
25    relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or
26    the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days

 

 

HB4499- 527 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court
2    may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a
3    stay would not violate a constitutional right of the
4    defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief
5    sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated
6    in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the
7    State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime
8    victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal
9    relates.
10        (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
11    an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
12    violation of a victim's right.
13        (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
14    accused throughout the criminal justice process and the
15    right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
16    family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
17    determining whether to release the defendant, and setting

14        attorney shall consult with the victim and the
15        victim's attorney regarding the assertion or
16        enforcement of a right. If the prosecuting attorney
17        decides not to assert or enforce a victim's right, the
18        prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the
19        victim's attorney in sufficient time to allow the
20        victim or the victim's attorney to assert the right or

24        right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
25        the victim's right or request enforcement of a right
26        by filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or

6        not allow it, the victim or the victim's attorney may
7        be heard regarding the prosecuting attorney's motion
8        or may file a simultaneous motion to assert or request
9        enforcement of the victim's right. If the victim or
10        the victim's attorney was not allowed to be heard at
11        the hearing regarding the prosecuting attorney's
12        motion, and the court denies the prosecuting
13        attorney's assertion of the right or denies the
14        request for enforcement of a right, the victim or
15        victim's attorney may file a motion to assert the
16        victim's right or to request enforcement of the right
17        within 10 days of the court's ruling. The motion need
18        not demonstrate the grounds for a motion for
19        reconsideration. The court shall rule on the merits of
20        the motion.
21            (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
22        or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
23        victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
24        period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
25        for any decision denying the motion or request shall
26        be clearly stated on the record.

12            Illinois law pertaining to the treatment of crime
13            victims as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of
14            the Illinois Constitution and in this Act as
15            required by the court under Section 5 of this Act;

4        enforcing crime victims' rights. If the court denies
5        the relief sought by the victim, the reasons for the
6        denial shall be clearly stated on the record in the
7        transcript of the proceedings, in a written opinion,
8        or in the docket entry, and the victim may appeal the
9        circuit court's decision to the appellate court. The

7        previously held proceedings; however, in no event
8        shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
9        be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate
10        remedy without violating any constitutional right of
11        the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate
12        remedy to the victim be a new trial or damages.
13        The court shall impose a mandatory training course
14    provided by the Attorney General for the employee under
15    item (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (4), which must
16    be successfully completed within 6 months of the entry of
17    the court order.
18        This paragraph (5) takes effect January 2, 2023.
19        (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
20    to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
21    the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
22        (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
23    motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
24    prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
25    specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
26    constitutional right of the party, and must contain an

 

 

HB4499- 546 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
2    30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
3    forth on the record the facts that support its finding
4    that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if
5    the victim hears other testimony at trial.
6        (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
7    at court proceedings.
8            (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
9        witness at trial must seek permission of the court
10        before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
11        written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
12        forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
13        testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding
14        (i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the
15        advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
16        materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
17        shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
18        days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
19        a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
20        anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
21        privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
22        relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
23        not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
24        court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
25        appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
26        prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days

 

 

HB4499- 547 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        to seek appellate review before the advocate is
2        required to testify at an ex parte in camera
3        proceeding.
4            The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
5        advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
6        the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after
7        conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court
8        determines that due process requires any testimony
9        regarding confidential or privileged information or
10        communications, the court shall provide to the
11        prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
12        attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
13        advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
14        victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
15        to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
16        issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
17        presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte
18        in camera proceeding does not make the substance of
19        the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
20        inadmissible subject to discovery.
21            (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
22        support person present at the court proceedings, the
23        victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
24        has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
25        prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
26        prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the

 

 

HB4499- 548 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        defendant. If the defendant intends to call the
2        support person as a witness at trial, the defendant
3        must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is
4        issued. The defendant must file a written motion at
5        least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth
6        specifically the issues on which the support person
7        will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the
8        content of the anticipated testimony of the support
9        person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
10        materiality of the anticipated testimony.
11            If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
12        support person as a witness during the State's
13        case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
14        the court of this intent in the response to the
15        defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
16        different person to be the victim's support person.
17        The court may allow the defendant to inquire about
18        matters outside the scope of the direct examination
19        during cross-examination. If the court allows the
20        defendant to do so, the support person shall be
21        allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support
22        person has testified. A defendant who fails to
23        question the support person about matters outside the
24        scope of direct examination during the State's
25        case-in-chief waives the right to challenge the
26        presence of the support person on appeal. The court

 

 

HB4499- 549 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        shall allow the support person to testify if called as
2        a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the
3        State's rebuttal.
4            If the court does not allow the defendant to
5        inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
6        examination, the support person shall be allowed to
7        remain in the courtroom after the support person has
8        been called by the defendant or the defendant has
9        rested. The court shall allow the support person to
10        testify in the State's rebuttal.
11            If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to
12        call the support person in the State's case-in-chief,
13        the court shall verify with the support person whether
14        the support person, if called as a witness, would
15        testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the
16        court finds that the support person would testify as
17        set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule
18        on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of
19        the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
20        anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
21        issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
22        the courtroom after the support person testifies and
23        shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
24            If the court excludes the victim's support person
25        during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
26        allowed to choose another support person to be present

 

 

HB4499- 550 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        in court.
2            If the victim fails to designate a support person
3        within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
4        subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
5        court may exclude the support person from the trial
6        until the support person testifies. If the court
7        excludes the support person the victim may choose
8        another person as a support person.
9        (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
10    confidential or privileged information or records.
11            (A) A defendant who seeks to subpoena testimony or
12        records of or concerning the victim that are
13        confidential or privileged by law must seek permission
14        of the court before the subpoena is issued. The
15        defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
16        proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
17        materiality of the testimony or records. If the court
18        finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:
19                (i) the testimony or records are not protected
20            by an absolute privilege and
21                (ii) the testimony or records contain
22            relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
23            is not available through other witnesses or
24            evidence, the court shall issue a subpoena
25            requiring the witness to appear in camera or a
26            sealed copy of the records be delivered to the

 

 

HB4499- 551 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1            court to be reviewed in camera. If, after
2            conducting an in camera review of the witness
3            statement or records, the court determines that
4            due process requires disclosure of any potential
5            testimony or any portion of the records, the court
6            shall provide copies of the records that it
7            intends to disclose to the prosecuting attorney
8            and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
9            victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review
10            before the records are disclosed to the defendant,
11            used in any court proceeding, or disclosed to
12            anyone or in any way that would subject the
13            testimony or records to public review. The
14            disclosure of copies of any portion of the
15            testimony or records to the prosecuting attorney
16            under this Section does not make the records
17            subject to discovery or required to be provided to
18            the defendant.
19            (B) A prosecuting attorney who seeks to subpoena
20        information or records concerning the victim that are
21        confidential or privileged by law must first request
22        the written consent of the crime victim. If the victim
23        does not provide such written consent, including where
24        necessary the appropriate signed document required for
25        waiving privilege, the prosecuting attorney must serve
26        the subpoena at least 21 days prior to the date a

 

 

HB4499- 552 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        response or appearance is required to allow the
2        subject of the subpoena time to file a motion to quash
3        or request a hearing. The prosecuting attorney must
4        also send a written notice to the victim at least 21
5        days prior to the response date to allow the victim to
6        file a motion or request a hearing. The notice to the
7        victim shall inform the victim (i) that a subpoena has
8        been issued for confidential information or records
9        concerning the victim, (ii) that the victim has the
10        right to request a hearing prior to the response date
11        of the subpoena, and (iii) how to request the hearing.
12        The notice to the victim shall also include a copy of
13        the subpoena. If requested, a hearing regarding the
14        subpoena shall occur before information or records are
15        provided to the prosecuting attorney.
16        (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
17    victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
18    right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
19    prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of
20    the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and
21    that the victim had a right to be heard at the court
22    proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was
23    not given or that the victim was not adequately informed
24    of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not
25    rule on any substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a
26    sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time

 

 

HB4499- 553 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and
2    nature of the court proceeding. The time between court
3    proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under
4    Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
5        (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
6    has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
7    minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
8    from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling
9    on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding,
10    the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the
11    request for the delay and, if the victim has provided
12    written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
13    disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
14    If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
15    court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has
16    not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
17    prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
18    confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
19    to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
20    victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
21    prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
22    confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
23    the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
24    continuance, the number and length of continuances that
25    have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
26    to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over

 

 

HB4499- 554 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
2    record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
3    that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
4        (12) Right to Restitution.
5            (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
6        restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
7        the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
8        judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
9            (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
10        restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
11        at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall,
12        within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
13        information and documentation related to restitution
14        is needed and that the information and documentation
15        must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days
16        after sentencing. Failure to timely provide
17        information and documentation related to restitution
18        shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution.
19        The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days
20        after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution
21        and a notice that includes information concerning the
22        identity of any victims or other persons seeking
23        restitution, whether any victim or other person
24        expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount
25        of any damages together with any supporting
26        documentation, a restitution amount recommendation,

 

 

HB4499- 555 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        and the names of any co-defendants and their case
2        numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed
3        judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any
4        objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of
5        grounds for the objection, and a financial statement.
6        If the defendant does not file an objection, the court
7        may enter the judgment for restitution without further
8        proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and
9        either party requests a hearing, the court shall
10        schedule a hearing.
11        (13) Access to presentence reports.
12            (A) The victim may request a copy of the
13        presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
14        Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
15        Attorney shall redact the following information before
16        providing a copy of the report:
17                (i) the defendant's mental history and
18            condition;
19                (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
20            (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
21                (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
22            other personal information about any other victim.
23            (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
24        request the court redact other information in the
25        report that may endanger the safety of any person.
26            (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to

 

 

HB4499- 556 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        the victim any of the information that has been
2        redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the
3        information will be stated in court at the sentencing.
4            (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
5        that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
6        the report and other information. Any dissemination of
7        the report or information that was not stated at a
8        court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
9        contempt of court.
10        (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
11    relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or
12    the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days
13    of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court
14    may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a
15    stay would not violate a constitutional right of the
16    defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief
17    sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated
18    in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the
19    State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime
20    victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal
21    relates.
22        (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
23    an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
24    violation of a victim's right.
25        (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
26    accused throughout the criminal justice process and the

 

 

HB4499- 557 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
2    family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
3    determining whether to release the defendant, and setting
4    conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A
5    victim of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking
6    may request the entry of a protective order under Article
7    112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
8    (d) Procedures after the imposition of sentence.
9        (1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or
10    any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the
11    prisoner's release on parole, mandatory supervised
12    release, electronic detention, work release, international
13    transfer or exchange, or by the custodian, other than the
14    Department of Juvenile Justice, of the discharge of any
15    individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime
16    from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate
17    county of any such person's final discharge from county
18    custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request,
19    shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a
20    recent photograph of any person convicted of a felony,
21    upon his or her release from custody. The Prisoner Review
22    Board, upon written request, shall inform a victim or any
23    other concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days
24    prior to the prisoner's release on furlough of the times
25    and dates of such furlough. Upon written request by the
26    victim or any other concerned citizen, the State's

 

 

HB4499- 558 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    Attorney shall notify the person once of the times and
2    dates of release of a prisoner sentenced to periodic
3    imprisonment. Notification shall be based on the most
4    recent information as to victim's or other concerned
5    citizen's residence or other location available to the
6    notifying authority.
7        (2) When the defendant has been committed to the
8    Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or
9    any other provision of the Unified Code of Corrections,
10    the victim may request to be notified by the releasing
11    authority of the approval by the court of an on-grounds
12    pass, a supervised off-grounds pass, an unsupervised
13    off-grounds pass, or conditional release; the release on
14    an off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass;
15    transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape;
16    death; or final discharge from State custody. The
17    Department of Human Services shall establish and maintain
18    a statewide telephone number to be used by victims to make
19    notification requests under these provisions and shall
20    publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
21    State's Attorney of each county.
22        (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
23    Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile
24    Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board
25    of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify
26    the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most

 

 

HB4499- 559 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    recent information as to the victim's residence or other
2    location available to the Board. When no such information
3    is available, the Board shall make all reasonable efforts
4    to obtain the information and make the notification. When
5    the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections
6    or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall
7    notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall
8    notify the victim.
9        (4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has
10    been sentenced has the right to register with the Prisoner
11    Review Board's victim registry. Victims registered with
12    the Board shall receive reasonable written notice not less
13    than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target
14    aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit
15    a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner
16    Review Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice in
17    writing, on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or
18    in the form of a recording prior to the parole hearing or
19    target aftercare release date, or in person at the parole
20    hearing or aftercare release protest hearing, or by
21    calling the toll-free number established in subsection (f)
22    of this Section. The victim shall be notified within 7
23    days after the prisoner has been granted parole or
24    aftercare release and shall be informed of the right to
25    inspect the registry of parole decisions, established
26    under subsection (g) of Section 3-3-5 of the Unified Code

 

 

HB4499- 560 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    of Corrections. The provisions of this paragraph (4) are
2    subject to the Open Parole Hearings Act. Victim statements
3    provided to the Board shall be confidential and
4    privileged, including any statements received prior to
5    January 1, 2020 (the effective date of Public Act 101-288)
6    this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly, except
7    if the statement was an oral statement made by the victim
8    at a hearing open to the public.
9        (4-1) The crime victim has the right to submit a
10    victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review
11    Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to or at
12    a hearing to determine the conditions of mandatory
13    supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate
14    sentence or at a hearing on revocation of mandatory
15    supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate
16    sentence. A victim statement may be submitted in writing,
17    on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or in the
18    form of a recording, or orally at a hearing, or by calling
19    the toll-free number established in subsection (f) of this
20    Section. Victim statements provided to the Board shall be
21    confidential and privileged, including any statements
22    received prior to January 1, 2020 (the effective date of
23    Public Act 101-288) this amendatory Act of the 101st
24    General Assembly, except if the statement was an oral
25    statement made by the victim at a hearing open to the
26    public.

 

 

HB4499- 561 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1        (4-2) The crime victim has the right to submit a
2    victim statement to the Prisoner Review Board for
3    consideration at an executive clemency hearing as provided
4    in Section 3-3-13 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A
5    victim statement may be submitted in writing, on film,
6    videotape, or other electronic means, or in the form of a
7    recording prior to a hearing, or orally at a hearing, or by
8    calling the toll-free number established in subsection (f)
9    of this Section. Victim statements provided to the Board
10    shall be confidential and privileged, including any
11    statements received prior to January 1, 2020 (the
12    effective date of Public Act 101-288) this amendatory Act
13    of the 101st General Assembly, except if the statement was
14    an oral statement made by the victim at a hearing open to
15    the public.
16        (5) If a statement is presented under Section 6, the
17    Prisoner Review Board or Department of Juvenile Justice
18    shall inform the victim of any order of discharge pursuant
19    to Section 3-2.5-85 or 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of
20    Corrections.
21        (6) At the written or oral request of the victim of the
22    crime for which the prisoner was sentenced or the State's
23    Attorney of the county where the person seeking parole or
24    aftercare release was prosecuted, the Prisoner Review
25    Board or Department of Juvenile Justice shall notify the
26    victim and the State's Attorney of the county where the

 

 

HB4499- 562 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    person seeking parole or aftercare release was prosecuted
2    of the death of the prisoner if the prisoner died while on
3    parole or aftercare release or mandatory supervised
4    release.
5        (7) When a defendant who has been committed to the
6    Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile
7    Justice, or the Department of Human Services is released
8    or discharged and subsequently committed to the Department
9    of Human Services as a sexually violent person and the
10    victim had requested to be notified by the releasing
11    authority of the defendant's discharge, conditional
12    release, death, or escape from State custody, the
13    releasing authority shall provide to the Department of
14    Human Services such information that would allow the
15    Department of Human Services to contact the victim.
16        (8) When a defendant has been convicted of a sex

17    screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
18    an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
19    assessment services for the Illinois courts;
20        (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
21        (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
22    statement in his own behalf;
23        (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
24    violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,

14shall include the following:
15    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
16the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
17prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
18prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
19as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
20Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
21case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
22sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
23years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
24sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
25misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
26regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time

 

 

HB4499- 650 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
2receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each

3prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
4prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
5as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
6Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
7case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
8sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
9imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
1085% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
111/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
12period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
13months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct
14or failure to comply with the institutional regulations
15receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
16be longer."
17    When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first

1919, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
20the sentence, shall include the following:

23prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
24prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois

15service of sentence in the county jail unless the fractional
16part of the day is over 12 hours in which case a whole day

22    demonstrate that he or she has made a reasonable effort to
23    remedy the reason or reasons for the violations or that
24    the reason or reasons for the violations were out of the
25    individual's control. Attendance policies of the employer
26    shall be reasonable and provided to the individual in

2        4. Damaging the employer's property through conduct
3    that is grossly negligent.
4        5. Refusal to obey an employer's reasonable and lawful

HB4499- 716 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1aware of a substantial risk that the conduct will result in the
2harm sought to be prevented and the conduct constitutes a
3substantial deviation from the standard of care a reasonable
4person would exercise in the situation.
5    Nothing in paragraph 6 or 7 prohibits the lawful use of
6over-the-counter drug products as defined in Section 206 of

1However, prior to the imposition of sentence on an individual
2being sentenced for an offense based upon a charge for a
3violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
4similar provision of a local ordinance, the individual must
5undergo a professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol
6or other drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a
7problem. Programs conducting these evaluations shall be
8licensed by the Department of Human Services. However, if the
9individual is not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its
10discretion, accept an evaluation from a program in the state
11of such individual's residence. The court may in its
12sentencing order approve an eligible defendant for placement
13in a Department of Corrections impact incarceration program as
14provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3. The court may in its
15sentencing order recommend a defendant for placement in a
16Department of Corrections substance abuse treatment program as
17provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2
18conditioned upon the defendant being accepted in a program by
19the Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
20        (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
21    trial;
22        (2) consider any presentence reports;
23        (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
24    based on the financial impact statement filed with the
25    clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
26        (4) consider evidence and information offered by the

 

 

HB4499- 719 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    parties in aggravation and mitigation;
2        (4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
3    screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
4    an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
5    assessment services for the Illinois courts;
6        (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
7        (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
8    statement in his own behalf;
9        (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
10    violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
11    or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
12    opportunity to present an oral or written statement, as
13    guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the Illinois
14    Constitution and provided in Section 6 of the Rights of
15    Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a
16    victim to make an oral statement if the victim is present
17    in the courtroom and requests to make an oral or written
18    statement. An oral or written statement includes the
19    victim or a representative of the victim reading the
20    written statement. The court may allow persons impacted by
21    the crime who are not victims under subsection (a) of
22    Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
23    to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
24    person making an oral statement shall not be put under
25    oath or subject to cross-examination. All statements
26    offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part of the

 

 

HB4499- 720 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    record of the court. In this paragraph (7), "victim of a
2    violent crime" means a person who is a victim of a violent
3    crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a
4    bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a
5    violent crime with which the defendant was charged and the
6    defendant has been convicted under a plea agreement of a
7    crime that is not a violent crime as defined in subsection
8    (c) of 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
9        (7.5) afford a qualified person affected by: (i) a
10    violation of Section 405, 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the

12    Section 55 or Section 65 of the Methamphetamine Control
13    and Community Protection Act; or (ii) a Class 4 felony
14    violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3 except as described in
15    subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18,
16    11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
17    Criminal Code of 2012, committed by the defendant the
18    opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on
19    the qualified person and to offer evidence in aggravation
20    or mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence
21    offered in aggravation or mitigation shall first be
22    prepared in writing in conjunction with the State's
23    Attorney before it may be presented orally at the hearing.
24    Sworn testimony offered by the qualified person is subject
25    to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements
26    and evidence offered under this paragraph (7.5) shall

 

 

HB4499- 721 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    become part of the record of the court. In this paragraph
2    (7.5), "qualified person" means any person who: (i) lived
3    or worked within the territorial jurisdiction where the
4    offense took place when the offense took place; or (ii) is
5    familiar with various public places within the territorial
6    jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
7    took place. "Qualified person" includes any peace officer
8    or any member of any duly organized State, county, or
9    municipal peace officer unit assigned to the territorial
10    jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
11    took place;
12        (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
13    spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
14    members an opportunity to make oral statements;
15        (9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
16    under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
17    results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
18    to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and
19        (10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was
20    used in the commission of the offense for which the
21    defendant is being sentenced.
22    (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
23his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
24any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
25who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
26guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer

 

 

HB4499- 722 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not
2impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are
3convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense,
4the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the
5sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants
6who have been sentenced.
7    (b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic
8imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a
9sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available
10sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation
11or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent
12crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment
13before review and consideration of a presentence report and
14determination and explanation of why the particular evidence,
15information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other
16reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of
17the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code
18apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an
19appropriate sentence.
20    (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
21offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
22while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
23combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
24ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
25to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall
26specify on the record the particular evidence, information,

 

 

HB4499- 723 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
2led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
3of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the
4court and shall be a public record.
5    (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
6kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
7aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
8firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
9category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to
10whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
11resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that
12finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
13    (c-1.5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
14contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that requires
15a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the court may
16instead sentence the offender to probation, conditional
17discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it deems
18appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or possession
19of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked license due to
20unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court finds that the
21defendant does not pose a risk to public safety; and (3) the
22interest of justice requires imposing a term of probation,
23conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment. The
24court must state on the record its reasons for imposing
25probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
26imprisonment.

 

 

HB4499- 724 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
2when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of
3death is imposed, at the time the sentence is imposed the judge
4shall state on the record in open court the approximate period
5of time the defendant will serve in custody according to the
6then current statutory rules and regulations for sentence
7credit found in Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of
8this Code. This statement is intended solely to inform the
9public, has no legal effect on the defendant's actual release,
10and may not be relied on by the defendant on appeal.
11    The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
12sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
13the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3,
14shall include the following:
15    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
16the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
17prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
18prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
19as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
20Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
21case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
22sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
23years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
24sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
25misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
26regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time

 

 

HB4499- 725 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
2receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
3day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse,
4and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
5    When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
6enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
7first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
8June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
9homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
10Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
11offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the
12sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
13of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
14compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
15subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
1611-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
17imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on
18or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act
1992-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated
20driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
21or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
22thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of
23subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
24committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of
25Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after
26pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following:

 

 

HB4499- 726 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
2the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
3prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
4prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
5as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
6Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
7case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
8sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
9imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
1085% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
111/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
12period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
13months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct
14or failure to comply with the institutional regulations
15receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
16be longer."
17    When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
18degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June
1919, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
20the sentence, shall include the following:
21    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
22the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
23prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
24prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
25as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
26Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this

 

 

HB4499- 727 -LRB102 21455 LNS 30572 b

1case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit.
2Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
3sentence."
4    When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
5substance abuse program for any offense that results in
6incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
7crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
8effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement,
9in addition to any other judge's statement required under this
10Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
11include the following:
12    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
13the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
14prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
15prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
16as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
17Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
18case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit
19under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or
20she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
21program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
22pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3."
23    (c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the
24presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
25inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently
26serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United

5    (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
6record that contains information that is exempt from
7disclosure under this Section, but also contains information

11and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
