Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, except in the definition of "conviction" in the Criminal Code of 2012, restores a provision that "conviction" means a judgment of conviction or sentence (rather than a judgment of conviction and sentence) entered upon a plea of guilty or upon a verdict or finding of guilty of an offense, rendered by a legally constituted jury or by a court of competent jurisdiction authorized to try the case without a jury. In that definition, provides that if judgment is withheld, the plea, verdict, or finding of guilty is not a conviction under Illinois law unless and until judgment is entered.
