Short description: 
CRIM CD & CORR-HATE CRIMES                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Criminal  Code  of  1961.   Creates  the  offense  of      
   conspiracy  against  civil  rights.   Provides that conspiracy against      
   civil rights is a Class 4 felony for a first offense  and  a  Class  2      
   felony for a second or subsequent offense. Provides that hate crime is      
   a Class 3 felony for a first offense and a Class 1 felony for a second      
   or subsequent offense if committed:  (1) in a place used for religious      
   worship;  (2)  in  a  cemetery  or  mortuary;  (3)  in  an educational      
   facility; (4) in a public park or an  ethnic  or  religious  community      
   center;  (5) on the real property of any of these locations; or (6) on      
   a public way within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising any  of      
   these   locations.    Provides  for  prosecution  for  hate  crime  or      
   institutional vandalism regardless  of  the  existence  of  any  other      
   motivating  factors. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections.  Provides      
   that a person convicted of any second  or  subsequent  conviction  for      
   hate  crime  or  institutional  vandalism is ineligible for probation,      
   conditional discharge, or periodic imprisonment.  Makes  it  a  factor      
   for  the  court to impose an extended term sentence that the defendant      
   was convicted of a felony  other  than  hate  crime  or  institutional      
   vandalism and the court finds that the defendant committed the offense      
   by  reason  of  the  actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion,      
   ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, physical or  mental  disability,      
   or national origin of another individual or group of individuals.           
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                              
          There will be an estimated three inmates added to the prison         
          population, and a fiscal impact of $680,900 in additional            
          operating and construction costs over ten years from the date        
          of enactment.                                                        
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          Same as DOC fiscal note.
