AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 6463

2     AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 6463 by replacing
3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4     "Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
5 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 Assembly
9 finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
10 system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
11 by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
12 punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
13 circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
14 sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
15 sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
16 supervision.

1     (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
2 provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
3 probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
4 having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
5 and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
6 the court is of the opinion that:
7         (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
8     necessary for the protection of the public; or
9         (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
10     the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
11     inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
12         (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
13     consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
14     into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
15     Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
16     public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
17     The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
18 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
19 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
20 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
21 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
22 sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
23 subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
24     (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
25 discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
26 neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment

1 nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
2     (b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
3 to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
4 Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of
5 the Criminal Code of 1961 if the defendant within the past 12
6 months has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
7 or felony under the Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide
8 under Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961.
9     (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
10 by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
11 finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
12 of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
13 defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
14 misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
15 Criminal Code of 1961: Sections 11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5;

20 Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not barred from
21 receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
22 subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
23 considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
24 character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the
25 opinion that:
26         (1) the offender is not likely to commit further

1     crimes;
2         (2) the defendant and the public would be best served
3     if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
4         (3) in the best interests of justice an order of
5     supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
6     permitted under this Code.
7     (c-5) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section do not
8 apply to a defendant charged with a second or subsequent
9 violation of Section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
