2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5492, AS AMENDED, by
3replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
4following:
 
5    "Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
6changing Sections 3-3-5, 3-3-7, and 3-3-8 as follows:
 
7    (730 ILCS 5/3-3-5)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-3-5)
8    Sec. 3-3-5. Hearing and Determination.
9    (a) The Prisoner Review Board shall meet as often as need
10requires to consider the cases of persons eligible for parole.
11Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a)
12of Section 3-3-2 of this Act, the Prisoner Review Board may
13meet and order its actions in panels of 3 or more members. The
14action of a majority of the panel shall be the action of the

16of Juvenile Justice, the panel shall have at least a majority

 

 

09700HB5492ham002- 2 -LRB097 18828 RLC 68085 a

1of members experienced in juvenile matters.
2    (b) If the person under consideration for parole is in the
3custody of the Department, at least one member of the Board
4shall interview him, and a report of that interview shall be
5available for the Board's consideration. However, in the
6discretion of the Board, the interview need not be conducted if
7a psychiatric examination determines that the person could not
8meaningfully contribute to the Board's consideration. The
9Board may in its discretion parole a person who is then outside
10the jurisdiction on his record without an interview. The Board
11need not hold a hearing or interview a person who is paroled
12under paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section or released on
13Mandatory release under Section 3-3-10.
14    (c) The Board shall not parole a person convicted of a
15crime and eligible for parole if it determines that:
16        (1) there is a substantial risk that he will not
17    conform to reasonable conditions of parole; or
18        (2) his release at that time would deprecate the
19    seriousness of his offense or promote disrespect for the
20    law; or
21        (3) his release would have a substantially adverse
22    effect on institutional discipline.
23    (d) A person committed under the Juvenile Court Act or the
24Juvenile Court Act of 1987 who has not been sooner released
25shall be paroled on or before his 20th birthday to begin
26serving a period of parole under Section 3-3-8.

 

 

09700HB5492ham002- 3 -LRB097 18828 RLC 68085 a

1    (e) A person who has served the maximum term of
2imprisonment imposed at the time of sentencing less time credit
3for good behavior shall be released on parole to serve a period
4of parole under Section 5-8-1.
5    (f) The Board shall render its decision within a reasonable
6time after hearing and shall state the basis therefor both in
7the records of the Board and in written notice to the person on
8whose application it has acted. In its decision, the Board
9shall set the person's time for parole, or if it denies parole
10it shall provide for a rehearing not less frequently than once
11every year, except that the Board may, after denying parole,
12schedule a rehearing no later than 5 years from the date of the
13parole denial, if the Board finds that it is not reasonable to
14expect that parole would be granted at a hearing prior to the
15scheduled rehearing date. If the Board shall parole a person,
16and, if he is not released within 90 days from the effective
17date of the order granting parole, the matter shall be returned
18to the Board for review.
19    (g) The Board shall maintain a registry of decisions in
20which parole has been granted, which shall include the name and
21case number of the prisoner, the highest charge for which the
22prisoner was sentenced, the length of sentence imposed, the
23date of the sentence, the date of the parole, and the basis for

2committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice under the
3Juvenile Court Act of 1987 shall be discharged from parole
4unless the Department Director or designee determines that,
5despite reasonable efforts to reintegrate the youth into the
6community, the youth has not substantially complied with or
7completed the conditions of the initial parole order. Upon such
8a determination, the Department may request an extension of the
9youth's parole term. The Board may extend the parole period
10upon a showing by the Department, by a preponderance of
11evidence, that:
12        (i) the supervising agency has made reasonable efforts
13    to assist the youth in complying with the conditions set
14    out by the parole release plan; and
15        (ii) despite these efforts, the youth has not
16    substantially complied with the parole release plan; or
17        (iii) the youth has not completed rehabilitative goals
18    or treatment plans essential to the youth's community

22    parole release plan by the end of the extension period
23    being requested.
24    Upon the requisite showing by the Department, the parole
25term may be extended for one to 12 months, according to the

3discharged from parole. Upon a determination of exceptional
4circumstances arising from significant changes in clinical
5need, the Department Director may request a transition
6extension of one to 6 months for the purpose of developing a
7post-parole services plan, in conjunction with other
8child-serving or human services agencies under subsection (e)
9of Section 3-2.5-15. The Board may grant the transition
10extension if it finds that recommended services are required to
11address a significant change in clinical need and that the
12Department has presented a case plan that will adequately
13transition the youth to post-parole services or support. At the
14conclusion of the transition extension period, the youth shall
15be discharged from parole.
