7    Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing hearing.
8    (a) Except when the death penalty is sought under hearing
9procedures otherwise specified, after a determination of
10guilt, a hearing shall be held to impose the sentence.
11However, prior to the imposition of sentence on an individual
12being sentenced for an offense based upon a charge for a
13violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
14similar provision of a local ordinance, the individual must
15undergo a professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol
16or other drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a
17problem. Programs conducting these evaluations shall be
18licensed by the Department of Human Services. However, if the
19individual is not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its
20discretion, accept an evaluation from a program in the state
21of such individual's residence. The court shall make a
22specific finding about whether the defendant is eligible for
23participation in a Department impact incarceration program as
24provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3, and if not, provide an
25explanation as to why a sentence to impact incarceration is

 

 

HB1496- 6 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1not an appropriate sentence. The court may in its sentencing
2order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of

10        (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
11    based on the financial impact statement filed with the
12    clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
13        (4) consider evidence and information offered by the
14    parties in aggravation and mitigation;
15        (4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
16    screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
17    an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide

19        (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
20        (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
21    statement in his own behalf;

16    crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a
17    bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a

8    defendant is being sentenced.
9    (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
10his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
11any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
12who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of

14sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not
15impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are
16convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense,
17the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the
18sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants
19who have been sentenced.
20    (b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic
21imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a
22sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available
23sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation
24or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent
25crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment
26before review and consideration of a presentence report and

 

 

HB1496- 10 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1determination and explanation of why the particular evidence,
2information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other
3reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of
4the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code
5apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an
6appropriate sentence.
7    (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
8offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
9while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
10combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
11ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
12to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall
13specify on the record the particular evidence, information,
14factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
15led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
16of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the
17court and shall be a public record.
18    (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
19kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
20aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
21firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
22category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to
23whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
24resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that
25finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
26    (c-1.5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the

 

 

HB1496- 11 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that requires
2a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the court may
3instead sentence the offender to probation, conditional
4discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it deems
5appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or possession
6of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked license due to
7unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court finds that the
8defendant does not pose a risk to public safety; and (3) the
9interest of justice requires imposing a term of probation,
10conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment. The
11court must state on the record its reasons for imposing
12probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
13imprisonment.
14    (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
15when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of
16death is imposed, at the time the sentence is imposed the judge
17shall state on the record in open court the approximate period
18of time the defendant will serve in custody according to the
19then current statutory rules and regulations for sentence
20credit found in Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of
21this Code. This statement is intended solely to inform the
22public, has no legal effect on the defendant's actual release,
23and may not be relied on by the defendant on appeal.
24    The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
25sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
26the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3,

 

 

HB1496- 12 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1shall include the following:
2    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
3the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
4prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
5prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
6as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
7Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
8case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
9sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
10years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
11sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
12misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
13regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
14served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
15receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
16day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse,
17and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
18    When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
19enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
20first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
21June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
22homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
23Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
24offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the
25sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
26of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or

 

 

HB1496- 13 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
2subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
311-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
4imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on
5or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act
692-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated
7driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
8or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
9thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of
10subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
11committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of
12Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after
13pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following:
14    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
15the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
16prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
17prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
18as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
19Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
20case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
21sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
22imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
2385% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
241/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
25period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
26months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct

 

 

HB1496- 14 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1or failure to comply with the institutional regulations
2receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
3be longer."
4    When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
5degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June
619, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
7the sentence, shall include the following:
8    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
9the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
10prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
11prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
12as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
13Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
14case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit.
15Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
16sentence."

18substance abuse program for any offense that results in
19incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
20crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the

23Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
24include the following:
25    "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
26the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in

 

 

HB1496- 15 -LRB103 04718 RLC 49727 b

1prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
2prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
3as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
4Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
5case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit
6under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or
7she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
8program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
9pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3."
10    (c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the
11presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
12inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently
