1 AN ACT in relation to criminal law.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended
5 by changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
6 (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
7 Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
8 Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General
9 Assembly finds that in order to protect the public, the
10 criminal justice system must compel compliance with the
11 conditions of probation by responding to violations with
12 swift, certain and fair punishments and intermediate
13 sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a
14 system of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations
15 of the terms and conditions of a sentence of probation,
16 conditional discharge or disposition of supervision.
17 (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
18 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
19 probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
20 having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
21 and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
22 the court is of the opinion that:
23 (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
24 necessary for the protection of the public; or
25 (2) probation or conditional discharge would
26 deprecate the seriousness of the offender's conduct and
27 would be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
28 The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
29 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
30 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
31 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
SB387 Enrolled -2- LRB093 02047 RLC 02048 b
1 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of
2 the sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or
3 supervision, subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of
4 this Act.
5 (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
6 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
7 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic
8 imprisonment nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
9 (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a
10 stipulation by the defendant of the facts supporting the
11 charge or a finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and
12 the imposition of a sentence, and enter an order for
13 supervision of the defendant, if the defendant is not charged
14 with: (i) a Class A misdemeanor, as defined by the following
15 provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 12-3.2;
16 12-15; 26-5; 31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of
17 Section 21-1; paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11)
18 of subsection (a) of Section 24-1; and Section 1 of the
19 Boarding Aircraft With Weapon Act;(ii) a Class A misdemeanor
20 violation of Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care
21 for Animals Act; or (iii)a felony. If the defendant is not
22 barred from receiving an order for supervision as provided in
23 this subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision
24 after considering the circumstances of the offense, and the
25 history, character and condition of the offender, if the
26 court is of the opinion that:
27 (1) the offender is not likely to commit further
28 crimes;
29 (2) the defendant and the public would be best
30 served if the defendant were not to receive a criminal
31 record; and
32 (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
33 supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
34 permitted under this Code.
