7 | Article to "this Act" mean this Article.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Section 1-5. Appointment of trial counsel in death penalty | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | cases. If an indigent defendant is charged with an offense for | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | which a sentence of death is authorized, and the State's | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Attorney has not, at or before arraignment, filed a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | certificate indicating he or she will not seek the death | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | penalty or stated on the record in open court that the death | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | penalty will not be sought, the trial court shall immediately | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | appoint the Public Defender, or any other qualified attorney | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | or attorneys as the Illinois Supreme Court shall by rule | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | provide, to represent the defendant as trial counsel. If the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Public Defender is appointed, he or she shall immediately | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | assign the attorney or attorneys who are public defenders to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | represent the defendant. The counsel shall meet the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | qualifications as the Supreme Court shall by rule provide. At | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | the request of court appointed counsel in a case in which the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | death penalty is sought, attorneys employed by the State | ||||||
2 | Appellate Defender may enter an appearance for the limited | ||||||
3 | purpose of assisting counsel appointed under this Section.
| ||||||
4 | Section 1-10. Court appointed trial counsel; compensation | ||||||
5 | and expenses. | ||||||
6 | (a) This Section applies only to compensation and expenses | ||||||
7 | of trial counsel appointed by the court as set forth in Section | ||||||
8 | 1-5, other than public defenders, for the period after | ||||||
9 | arraignment and so long as the State's Attorney has not, at any | ||||||
10 | time, filed a certificate indicating he or she will not seek | ||||||
11 | the death penalty or stated on the record in open court that | ||||||
12 | the death penalty will not be sought. | ||||||
13 | (a-5) Litigation budget. | ||||||
14 | (1) In a case in which the State has filed a statement | ||||||
15 | of intent to seek the death penalty, the court shall | ||||||
16 | require appointed counsel, including those appointed in | ||||||
17 | Cook County, after counsel has had adequate time to review | ||||||
18 | the case and prior to engaging trial assistance, to submit | ||||||
19 | a proposed estimated litigation budget for court approval, | ||||||
20 | that will be subject to modification in light of facts and | ||||||
21 | developments that emerge as the case proceeds. Case | ||||||
22 | budgets should be submitted ex parte and filed and | ||||||
23 | maintained under seal in order to protect the defendant's | ||||||
24 | right to effective assistance of counsel, right not to | ||||||
25 | incriminate him or herself and all applicable privileges. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Case budgets shall be reviewed and approved by the judge | ||||||
2 | assigned to try the case. As provided under subsection (c) | ||||||
3 | of this Section, petitions for compensation shall be | ||||||
4 | reviewed by both the trial judge and the presiding judge | ||||||
5 | or the presiding judge's designee. | ||||||
6 | (2) The litigation budget shall serve purposes | ||||||
7 | comparable to those of private retainer agreements by | ||||||
8 | confirming both the court's and the attorney's | ||||||
9 | expectations regarding fees and expenses. Consideration | ||||||
10 | should be given to employing an ex parte pretrial | ||||||
11 | conference in order to facilitate reaching agreement on a | ||||||
12 | litigation budget at the earliest opportunity. | ||||||
13 | (3) The budget shall be incorporated into a sealed | ||||||
14 | initial pretrial order that reflects the understandings of | ||||||
15 | the court and counsel regarding all matters affecting | ||||||
16 | counsel compensation and reimbursement and payments for | ||||||
17 | investigative, expert and other services, including, but | ||||||
18 | not limited to, the following matters: | ||||||
19 | (A) the hourly rate at which counsel will be | ||||||
20 | compensated; | ||||||
21 | (B) the hourly rate at which private | ||||||
22 | investigators, other than investigators employed by | ||||||
23 | the Office of the State Appellate Defender, will be | ||||||
24 | compensated; and | ||||||
25 | (C) the best preliminary estimate that can be made | ||||||
26 | of the cost of all services, including, but not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limited to, counsel, expert, and investigative | ||||||
2 | services that are likely to be needed through the | ||||||
3 | guilt and penalty phases of the trial. The court shall | ||||||
4 | have discretion to require that budgets be prepared | ||||||
5 | for shorter intervals of time. | ||||||
6 | (4) Appointed counsel may obtain, subject to later | ||||||
7 | review, investigative, expert, or other services without | ||||||
8 | prior authorization if necessary for an adequate defense. | ||||||
9 | If the services are obtained, the presiding judge or the | ||||||
10 | presiding judge's designee shall consider in an ex parte | ||||||
11 | proceeding that timely procurement of necessary services | ||||||
12 | could not await prior authorization. If an ex parte | ||||||
13 | hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed | ||||||
14 | necessary by the trial judge prior to modifying a budget, | ||||||
15 | the ex parte hearing shall be before the presiding judge | ||||||
16 | or the presiding judge's designee. The judge may then | ||||||
17 | authorize the services nunc pro tunc. If the presiding | ||||||
18 | judge or the presiding judge's designee finds that the | ||||||
19 | services were not reasonable, payment may be denied. | ||||||
20 | (5) An approved budget shall guide counsel's use of | ||||||
21 | time and resources by indicating the services for which | ||||||
22 | compensation is authorized. The case budget shall be | ||||||
23 | re-evaluated when justified by changed or unexpected | ||||||
24 | circumstances and shall be modified by the court when | ||||||
25 | reasonable and necessary for an adequate defense. If an ex | ||||||
26 | parte hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | necessary by the trial judge prior to modifying a budget, | ||||||
2 | the ex parte hearing shall be before the presiding judge | ||||||
3 | or the presiding judge's designee. | ||||||
4 | (b) Appointed trial counsel shall be compensated upon | ||||||
5 | presentment and certification by the circuit court of a claim | ||||||
6 | for services detailing the date, activity, and time duration | ||||||
7 | for which compensation is sought. Compensation for appointed | ||||||
8 | trial counsel may be paid at a reasonable rate not to exceed | ||||||
9 | $125 per hour. The court shall not authorize payment of bills | ||||||
10 | that are not properly itemized. A request for payment shall be | ||||||
11 | presented under seal and reviewed ex parte with a court | ||||||
12 | reporter present. Every January 20, the statutory rate | ||||||
13 | prescribed in this subsection shall be automatically increased | ||||||
14 | or decreased, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the | ||||||
15 | percentage change in the consumer price index-u during the | ||||||
16 | preceding 12-month calendar year. "Consumer price index-u" | ||||||
17 | means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of | ||||||
18 | the United States Department of Labor that measures the | ||||||
19 | average change in prices of goods and services purchased by | ||||||
20 | all urban consumers, United States city average, all items, | ||||||
21 | 1982-84=100. The new rate resulting from each annual | ||||||
22 | adjustment shall be determined by the State Treasurer and made | ||||||
23 | available to the chief judge of each judicial circuit. | ||||||
24 | (c) Appointed trial counsel may also petition the court | ||||||
25 | for certification of expenses for reasonable and necessary | ||||||
26 | capital litigation expenses including, but not limited to, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | investigatory and other assistance, expert, forensic, and | ||||||
2 | other witnesses, and mitigation specialists. Each provider of | ||||||
3 | proposed services must specify the best preliminary estimate | ||||||
4 | that can be made in light of information received in the case | ||||||
5 | at that point, and the provider must sign this estimate under | ||||||
6 | the provisions of Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
7 | Procedure. A provider of proposed services must also specify: | ||||||
8 | (1) his or her hourly rate; (2) the hourly rate of anyone else | ||||||
9 | in his or her employ for whom reimbursement is sought; and (3) | ||||||
10 | the hourly rate of any person or entity that may be | ||||||
11 | subcontracted to perform these services. Counsel may not | ||||||
12 | petition for certification of expenses that may have been | ||||||
13 | provided or compensated by the State Appellate Defender under | ||||||
14 | item (c)(5.1) of Section 10 of the State Appellate Defender | ||||||
15 | Act. The petitions shall be filed under seal and considered ex | ||||||
16 | parte but with a court reporter present for all ex parte | ||||||
17 | conferences. If the requests are submitted after services have | ||||||
18 | been rendered, the requests shall be supported by an invoice | ||||||
19 | describing the services rendered, the dates the services were | ||||||
20 | performed and the amount of time spent. These petitions shall | ||||||
21 | be reviewed by both the trial judge and the presiding judge of | ||||||
22 | the circuit court or the presiding judge's designee. The | ||||||
23 | petitions and orders shall be kept under seal and shall be | ||||||
24 | exempt from Freedom of Information requests until the | ||||||
25 | conclusion of the trial, even if the prosecution chooses not | ||||||
26 | to pursue the death penalty prior to trial or sentencing. If an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ex parte hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed | ||||||
2 | necessary by the trial judge, the hearing shall be before the | ||||||
3 | presiding judge or the presiding judge's designee. | ||||||
4 | (d) Appointed trial counsel shall petition the court for | ||||||
5 | certification of compensation and expenses under this Section | ||||||
6 | periodically during the course of counsel's representation. | ||||||
7 | The petitions shall be supported by itemized bills showing the | ||||||
8 | date, the amount of time spent, the work done, and the total | ||||||
9 | being charged for each entry. The court shall not authorize | ||||||
10 | payment of bills that are not properly itemized. The court | ||||||
11 | must certify reasonable and necessary expenses of the | ||||||
12 | petitioner for travel and per diem (lodging, meals, and | ||||||
13 | incidental expenses). These expenses must be paid at the rate | ||||||
14 | as promulgated by the United States General Services | ||||||
15 | Administration for these expenses for the date and location in | ||||||
16 | which they were incurred, unless extraordinary reasons are | ||||||
17 | shown for the difference. The petitions shall be filed under | ||||||
18 | seal and considered ex parte but with a court reporter present | ||||||
19 | for all ex parte conferences. The petitions shall be reviewed | ||||||
20 | by both the trial judge and the presiding judge of the circuit | ||||||
21 | court or the presiding judge's designee. If an ex parte | ||||||
22 | hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed necessary by | ||||||
23 | the trial judge, the ex parte hearing shall be before the | ||||||
24 | presiding judge or the presiding judge's designee. If the | ||||||
25 | court determines that the compensation and expenses should be | ||||||
26 | paid from the Capital Litigation Trust Fund, the court shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certify, on a form created by the State Treasurer, that all or | ||||||
2 | a designated portion of the amount requested is reasonable, | ||||||
3 | necessary, and appropriate for payment from the Trust Fund. | ||||||
4 | The form must also be signed by lead trial counsel under the | ||||||
5 | provisions of Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil Procedure | ||||||
6 | verifying that the amount requested is reasonable, necessary, | ||||||
7 | and appropriate. Bills submitted for payment by any individual | ||||||
8 | or entity seeking payment from the Capital Litigation Trust | ||||||
9 | Fund must also be accompanied by a form created by the State | ||||||
10 | Treasurer and signed by the individual or responsible agent of | ||||||
11 | the entity under the provisions of Section 1-109 of the Code of | ||||||
12 | Civil Procedure that the amount requested is accurate and | ||||||
13 | truthful and reflects time spent or expenses incurred. | ||||||
14 | Certification of compensation and expenses by a court in any | ||||||
15 | county other than Cook County shall be delivered by the court | ||||||
16 | to the State Treasurer and must be paid by the State Treasurer | ||||||
17 | directly from the Capital Litigation Trust Fund if there are | ||||||
18 | sufficient moneys in the Trust Fund to pay the compensation | ||||||
19 | and expenses. If the State Treasurer finds within 14 days of | ||||||
20 | his or her receipt of a certification that the compensation | ||||||
21 | and expenses to be paid are unreasonable, unnecessary, or | ||||||
22 | inappropriate, he or she may return the certification to the | ||||||
23 | court setting forth in detail the objection or objections with | ||||||
24 | a request for the court to review the objection or objections | ||||||
25 | before resubmitting the certification. The State Treasurer | ||||||
26 | must send the claimant a copy of the objection or objections. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The State Treasurer may only seek a review of a specific | ||||||
2 | objection once. The claimant has 7 days from his or her receipt | ||||||
3 | of the objections to file a response with the court. With or | ||||||
4 | without further hearing, the court must promptly rule on the | ||||||
5 | objections. The petitions and orders shall be kept under seal | ||||||
6 | and shall be exempt from Freedom of Information requests until | ||||||
7 | the conclusion of the trial and appeal of the case, even if the | ||||||
8 | prosecution chooses not to pursue the death penalty prior to | ||||||
9 | trial or sentencing. Certification of compensation and | ||||||
10 | expenses by a court in Cook County shall be delivered by the | ||||||
11 | court to the county treasurer and paid by the county treasurer | ||||||
12 | from moneys granted to the county from the Capital Litigation | ||||||
13 | Trust Fund.

8 | Section 1-110. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | (725 ILCS 5/113-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 113-3) | ||||||
11 | Sec. 113-3. (a) Every person charged with an offense shall | ||||||
12 | be allowed counsel before pleading to the charge. If the | ||||||
13 | defendant desires counsel and has been unable to obtain same | ||||||
14 | before arraignment the court shall recess court or continue | ||||||
15 | the cause for a reasonable time to permit defendant to obtain | ||||||
16 | counsel and consult with him before pleading to the charge. If | ||||||
17 | the accused is a dissolved corporation, and is not represented | ||||||
18 | by counsel, the court may, in the interest of justice, appoint | ||||||
19 | as counsel a licensed attorney of this State. | ||||||
20 | (b) In all cases, except where the penalty is a fine only, | ||||||
21 | if the court determines that the defendant is indigent and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | desires counsel, the Public Defender shall be appointed as | ||||||
2 | counsel. If there is no Public Defender in the county or if the | ||||||
3 | defendant requests counsel other than the Public Defender and | ||||||
4 | the court finds that the rights of the defendant will be | ||||||
5 | prejudiced by the appointment of the Public Defender, the | ||||||
6 | court shall appoint as counsel a licensed attorney at law of | ||||||
7 | this State, except that in a county having a population of | ||||||
8 | 2,000,000 or more the Public Defender shall be appointed as | ||||||
9 | counsel in all misdemeanor cases where the defendant is | ||||||
10 | indigent and desires counsel unless the case involves multiple | ||||||
11 | defendants, in which case the court may appoint counsel other | ||||||
12 | than the Public Defender for the additional defendants. The | ||||||
13 | court shall require an affidavit signed by any defendant who | ||||||
14 | requests court-appointed counsel. Such affidavit shall be in | ||||||
15 | the form established by the Supreme Court containing | ||||||
16 | sufficient information to ascertain the assets and liabilities | ||||||
17 | of that defendant. The Court may direct the Clerk of the | ||||||
18 | Circuit Court to assist the defendant in the completion of the | ||||||
19 | affidavit. Any person who knowingly files such affidavit | ||||||
20 | containing false information concerning his assets and | ||||||
21 | liabilities shall be liable to the county where the case, in | ||||||
22 | which such false affidavit is filed, is pending for the | ||||||
23 | reasonable value of the services rendered by the public | ||||||
24 | defender or other court-appointed counsel in the case to the | ||||||
25 | extent that such services were unjustly or falsely procured. | ||||||
26 | (c) Upon the filing with the court of a verified statement |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of services rendered the court shall order the county | ||||||
2 | treasurer of the county of trial to pay counsel other than the | ||||||
3 | Public Defender a reasonable fee. The court shall consider all | ||||||
4 | relevant circumstances, including but not limited to the time | ||||||
5 | spent while court is in session, other time spent in | ||||||
6 | representing the defendant, and expenses reasonably incurred | ||||||
7 | by counsel. In counties with a population greater than | ||||||
8 | 2,000,000, the court shall order the county treasurer of the | ||||||
9 | county of trial to pay counsel other than the Public Defender a | ||||||
10 | reasonable fee stated in the order and based upon a rate of | ||||||
11 | compensation of not more than $40 for each hour spent while | ||||||
12 | court is in session and not more than $30 for each hour | ||||||
13 | otherwise spent representing a defendant, and such | ||||||
14 | compensation shall not exceed $150 for each defendant | ||||||
15 | represented in misdemeanor cases and $1250 in felony cases, in | ||||||
16 | addition to expenses reasonably incurred as hereinafter in | ||||||
17 | this Section provided, except that, in extraordinary | ||||||
18 | circumstances, payment in excess of the limits herein stated | ||||||
19 | may be made if the trial court certifies that such payment is | ||||||
20 | necessary to provide fair compensation for protracted | ||||||
21 | representation. A trial court may entertain the filing of this | ||||||
22 | verified statement before the termination of the cause, and | ||||||
23 | may order the provisional payment of sums during the pendency | ||||||
24 | of the cause. | ||||||
25 | (d) In capital cases, in addition to counsel, if the court | ||||||
26 | determines that the defendant is indigent the court may, upon |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the filing with the court of a verified statement of services | ||||||
2 | rendered, order the county Treasurer of the county of trial to | ||||||
3 | pay necessary expert witnesses for defendant reasonable | ||||||
4 | compensation stated in the order not to exceed $250 for each | ||||||
5 | defendant. | ||||||
6 | (e) If the court in any county having a population greater | ||||||
7 | than 2,000,000 determines that the defendant is indigent the | ||||||
8 | court may, upon the filing with the court of a verified | ||||||
9 | statement of such expenses, order the county treasurer of the | ||||||
10 | county of trial, in such counties having a population greater | ||||||
11 | than 2,000,000 to pay the general expenses of the trial | ||||||
12 | incurred by the defendant not to exceed $50 for each | ||||||
13 | defendant. | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | Section 2-35. The Illinois Public Labor Relations Act is | ||||||
4 | amended by changing Section 14 as follows:
| ||||||
5 | (5 ILCS 315/14) (from Ch. 48, par. 1614) | ||||||
6 | Sec. 14. Security employee, peace officer and fire fighter | ||||||
7 | disputes. | ||||||
8 | (a) In the case of collective bargaining agreements | ||||||
9 | involving units of security employees of a public employer, | ||||||
10 | Peace Officer Units, or units of fire fighters or paramedics, | ||||||
11 | and in the case of disputes under Section 18, unless the | ||||||
12 | parties mutually agree to some other time limit, mediation | ||||||
13 | shall commence 30 days prior to the expiration date of such | ||||||
14 | agreement or at such later time as the mediation services | ||||||
15 | chosen under subsection (b) of Section 12 can be provided to | ||||||
16 | the parties. In the case of negotiations for an initial | ||||||
17 | collective bargaining agreement, mediation shall commence upon | ||||||
18 | 15 days notice from either party or at such later time as the | ||||||
19 | mediation services chosen pursuant to subsection (b) of | ||||||
20 | Section 12 can be provided to the parties. In mediation under | ||||||
21 | this Section, if either party requests the use of mediation | ||||||
22 | services from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, | ||||||
23 | the other party shall either join in such request or bear the | ||||||
24 | additional cost of mediation services from another source. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mediator shall have a duty to keep the Board informed on the | ||||||
2 | progress of the mediation. If any dispute has not been | ||||||
3 | resolved within 15 days after the first meeting of the parties | ||||||
4 | and the mediator, or within such other time limit as may be | ||||||
5 | mutually agreed upon by the parties, either the exclusive | ||||||
6 | representative or employer may request of the other, in | ||||||
7 | writing, arbitration, and shall submit a copy of the request | ||||||
8 | to the Board. | ||||||
9 | (b) Within 10 days after such a request for arbitration | ||||||
10 | has been made, the employer shall choose a delegate and the | ||||||
11 | employees' exclusive representative shall choose a delegate to | ||||||
12 | a panel of arbitration as provided in this Section. The | ||||||
13 | employer and employees shall forthwith advise the other and | ||||||
14 | the Board of their selections. | ||||||
15 | (c) Within 7 days after the request of either party, the | ||||||
16 | parties shall request a panel of impartial arbitrators from | ||||||
17 | which they shall select the neutral chairman according to the | ||||||
18 | procedures provided in this Section. If the parties have | ||||||
19 | agreed to a contract that contains a grievance resolution | ||||||
20 | procedure as provided in Section 8, the chairman shall be | ||||||
21 | selected using their agreed contract procedure unless they | ||||||
22 | mutually agree to another procedure. If the parties fail to | ||||||
23 | notify the Board of their selection of neutral chairman within | ||||||
24 | 7 days after receipt of the list of impartial arbitrators, the | ||||||
25 | Board shall appoint, at random, a neutral chairman from the | ||||||
26 | list. In the absence of an agreed contract procedure for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | selecting an impartial arbitrator, either party may request a | ||||||
2 | panel from the Board. Within 7 days of the request of either | ||||||
3 | party, the Board shall select from the Public Employees Labor | ||||||
4 | Mediation Roster 7 persons who are on the labor arbitration | ||||||
5 | panels of either the American Arbitration Association or the | ||||||
6 | Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, or who are members | ||||||
7 | of the National Academy of Arbitrators, as nominees for | ||||||
8 | impartial arbitrator of the arbitration panel. The parties may | ||||||
9 | select an individual on the list provided by the Board or any | ||||||
10 | other individual mutually agreed upon by the parties. Within 7 | ||||||
11 | days following the receipt of the list, the parties shall | ||||||
12 | notify the Board of the person they have selected. Unless the | ||||||
13 | parties agree on an alternate selection procedure, they shall | ||||||
14 | alternatively strike one name from the list provided by the | ||||||
15 | Board until only one name remains. A coin toss shall determine | ||||||
16 | which party shall strike the first name. If the parties fail to | ||||||
17 | notify the Board in a timely manner of their selection for | ||||||
18 | neutral chairman, the Board shall appoint a neutral chairman | ||||||
19 | from the Illinois Public Employees Mediation/Arbitration | ||||||
20 | Roster. | ||||||
21 | (d) The chairman shall call a hearing to begin within 15 | ||||||
22 | days and give reasonable notice of the time and place of the | ||||||
23 | hearing. The hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board | ||||||
24 | or at such other location as the Board deems appropriate. The | ||||||
25 | chairman shall preside over the hearing and shall take | ||||||
26 | testimony. Any oral or documentary evidence and other data |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deemed relevant by the arbitration panel may be received in | ||||||
2 | evidence. The proceedings shall be informal. Technical rules | ||||||
3 | of evidence shall not apply and the competency of the evidence | ||||||
4 | shall not thereby be deemed impaired. A verbatim record of the | ||||||
5 | proceedings shall be made and the arbitrator shall arrange for | ||||||
6 | the necessary recording service. Transcripts may be ordered at | ||||||
7 | the expense of the party ordering them, but the transcripts | ||||||
8 | shall not be necessary for a decision by the arbitration | ||||||
9 | panel. The expense of the proceedings, including a fee for the | ||||||
10 | chairman, shall be borne equally by each of the parties to the | ||||||
11 | dispute. The delegates, if public officers or employees, shall | ||||||
12 | continue on the payroll of the public employer without loss of | ||||||
13 | pay. The hearing conducted by the arbitration panel may be | ||||||
14 | adjourned from time to time, but unless otherwise agreed by | ||||||
15 | the parties, shall be concluded within 30 days of the time of | ||||||
16 | its commencement. Majority actions and rulings shall | ||||||
17 | constitute the actions and rulings of the arbitration panel. | ||||||
18 | Arbitration proceedings under this Section shall not be | ||||||
19 | interrupted or terminated by reason of any unfair labor | ||||||
20 | practice charge filed by either party at any time. | ||||||
21 | (e) The arbitration panel may administer oaths, require | ||||||
22 | the attendance of witnesses, and the production of such books, | ||||||
23 | papers, contracts, agreements and documents as may be deemed | ||||||
24 | by it material to a just determination of the issues in | ||||||
25 | dispute, and for such purpose may issue subpoenas. If any | ||||||
26 | person refuses to obey a subpoena, or refuses to be sworn or to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | testify, or if any witness, party or attorney is guilty of any | ||||||
2 | contempt while in attendance at any hearing, the arbitration | ||||||
3 | panel may, or the attorney general if requested shall, invoke | ||||||
4 | the aid of any circuit court within the jurisdiction in which | ||||||
5 | the hearing is being held, which court shall issue an | ||||||
6 | appropriate order. Any failure to obey the order may be | ||||||
7 | punished by the court as contempt. | ||||||
8 | (f) At any time before the rendering of an award, the | ||||||
9 | chairman of the arbitration panel, if he is of the opinion that | ||||||
10 | it would be useful or beneficial to do so, may remand the | ||||||
11 | dispute to the parties for further collective bargaining for a | ||||||
12 | period not to exceed 2 weeks. If the dispute is remanded for | ||||||
13 | further collective bargaining the time provisions of this Act | ||||||
14 | shall be extended for a time period equal to that of the | ||||||
15 | remand. The chairman of the panel of arbitration shall notify | ||||||
16 | the Board of the remand. | ||||||
17 | (g) At or before the conclusion of the hearing held | ||||||
18 | pursuant to subsection (d), the arbitration panel shall | ||||||
19 | identify the economic issues in dispute, and direct each of | ||||||
20 | the parties to submit, within such time limit as the panel | ||||||
21 | shall prescribe, to the arbitration panel and to each other | ||||||
22 | its last offer of settlement on each economic issue. The | ||||||
23 | determination of the arbitration panel as to the issues in | ||||||
24 | dispute and as to which of these issues are economic shall be | ||||||
25 | conclusive. The arbitration panel, within 30 days after the | ||||||
26 | conclusion of the hearing, or such further additional periods |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to which the parties may agree, shall make written findings of | ||||||
2 | fact and promulgate a written opinion and shall mail or | ||||||
3 | otherwise deliver a true copy thereof to the parties and their | ||||||
4 | representatives and to the Board. As to each economic issue, | ||||||
5 | the arbitration panel shall adopt the last offer of settlement | ||||||
6 | which, in the opinion of the arbitration panel, more nearly | ||||||
7 | complies with the applicable factors prescribed in subsection | ||||||
8 | (h). The findings, opinions and order as to all other issues | ||||||
9 | shall be based upon the applicable factors prescribed in | ||||||
10 | subsection (h). | ||||||
11 | (h) Where there is no agreement between the parties, or | ||||||
12 | where there is an agreement but the parties have begun | ||||||
13 | negotiations or discussions looking to a new agreement or | ||||||
14 | amendment of the existing agreement, and wage rates or other | ||||||
15 | conditions of employment under the proposed new or amended | ||||||
16 | agreement are in dispute, the arbitration panel shall base its | ||||||
17 | findings, opinions and order upon the following factors, as | ||||||
18 | applicable: | ||||||
19 | (1) The lawful authority of the employer. | ||||||
20 | (2) Stipulations of the parties. | ||||||
21 | (3) The interests and welfare of the public and the | ||||||
22 | financial ability of the unit of government to meet those | ||||||
23 | costs. | ||||||
24 | (4) Comparison of the wages, hours and conditions of | ||||||
25 | employment of the employees involved in the arbitration | ||||||
26 | proceeding with the wages, hours and conditions of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employment of other employees performing similar services | ||||||
2 | and with other employees generally: | ||||||
3 | (A) In public employment in comparable | ||||||
4 | communities. | ||||||
5 | (B) In private employment in comparable | ||||||
6 | communities. | ||||||
7 | (5) The average consumer prices for goods and | ||||||
8 | services, commonly known as the cost of living. | ||||||
9 | (6) The overall compensation presently received by the | ||||||
10 | employees, including direct wage compensation, vacations, | ||||||
11 | holidays and other excused time, insurance and pensions, | ||||||
12 | medical and hospitalization benefits, the continuity and | ||||||
13 | stability of employment and all other benefits received. | ||||||
14 | (7) Changes in any of the foregoing circumstances | ||||||
15 | during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings. | ||||||
16 | (8) Such other factors, not confined to the foregoing, | ||||||
17 | which are normally or traditionally taken into | ||||||
18 | consideration in the determination of wages, hours and | ||||||
19 | conditions of employment through voluntary collective | ||||||
20 | bargaining, mediation, fact-finding, arbitration or | ||||||
21 | otherwise between the parties, in the public service or in | ||||||
22 | private employment. | ||||||
23 | (i) In the case of peace officers, the arbitration | ||||||
24 | decision shall be limited to wages, hours, and conditions of | ||||||
25 | employment (which may include residency requirements in | ||||||
26 | municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, 100,000, but |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | those residency requirements shall not allow residency outside | ||||||
2 | of Illinois) and shall not include the following: i) residency | ||||||
3 | requirements in municipalities with a population of at least | ||||||
4 | 1,000,000 100,000 ; ii) the type of equipment, other than | ||||||
5 | uniforms, issued or used; iii) manning; iv) the total number | ||||||
6 | of employees employed by the department; v) mutual aid and | ||||||
7 | assistance agreements to other units of government; and vi) | ||||||
8 | the criterion pursuant to which force, including deadly force, | ||||||
9 | can be used; provided, nothing herein shall preclude an | ||||||
10 | arbitration decision regarding equipment or manning levels if | ||||||
11 | such decision is based on a finding that the equipment or | ||||||
12 | manning considerations in a specific work assignment involve a | ||||||
13 | serious risk to the safety of a peace officer beyond that which | ||||||
14 | is inherent in the normal performance of police duties. | ||||||
15 | Limitation of the terms of the arbitration decision pursuant | ||||||
16 | to this subsection shall not be construed to limit the factors | ||||||
17 | upon which the decision may be based, as set forth in | ||||||
18 | subsection (h). | ||||||
19 | In the case of fire fighter, and fire department or fire | ||||||
20 | district paramedic matters, the arbitration decision shall be | ||||||
21 | limited to wages, hours, and conditions of employment | ||||||
22 | (including manning and also including residency requirements | ||||||
23 | in municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, but those | ||||||
24 | residency requirements shall not allow residency outside of | ||||||
25 | Illinois) and shall not include the following matters: i) | ||||||
26 | residency requirements in municipalities with a population of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | at least 1,000,000; ii) the type of equipment (other than | ||||||
2 | uniforms and fire fighter turnout gear) issued or used; iii) | ||||||
3 | the total number of employees employed by the department; iv) | ||||||
4 | mutual aid and assistance agreements to other units of | ||||||
5 | government; and v) the criterion pursuant to which force, | ||||||
6 | including deadly force, can be used; provided, however, | ||||||
7 | nothing herein shall preclude an arbitration decision | ||||||
8 | regarding equipment levels if such decision is based on a | ||||||
9 | finding that the equipment considerations in a specific work | ||||||
10 | assignment involve a serious risk to the safety of a fire | ||||||
11 | fighter beyond that which is inherent in the normal | ||||||
12 | performance of fire fighter duties. Limitation of the terms of | ||||||
13 | the arbitration decision pursuant to this subsection shall not | ||||||
14 | be construed to limit the facts upon which the decision may be | ||||||
15 | based, as set forth in subsection (h). | ||||||
16 | The changes to this subsection (i) made by Public Act | ||||||
17 | 90-385 (relating to residency requirements) do not apply to | ||||||
18 | persons who are employed by a combined department that | ||||||
19 | performs both police and firefighting services; these persons | ||||||
20 | shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection (i) | ||||||
21 | relating to peace officers, as they existed before the | ||||||
22 | amendment by Public Act 90-385. | ||||||
23 | To preserve historical bargaining rights, this subsection | ||||||
24 | shall not apply to any provision of a fire fighter collective | ||||||
25 | bargaining agreement in effect and applicable on the effective | ||||||
26 | date of this Act; provided, however, nothing herein shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | preclude arbitration with respect to any such provision. | ||||||
2 | (j) Arbitration procedures shall be deemed to be initiated | ||||||
3 | by the filing of a letter requesting mediation as required | ||||||
4 | under subsection (a) of this Section. The commencement of a | ||||||
5 | new municipal fiscal year after the initiation of arbitration | ||||||
6 | procedures under this Act, but before the arbitration | ||||||
7 | decision, or its enforcement, shall not be deemed to render a | ||||||
8 | dispute moot, or to otherwise impair the jurisdiction or | ||||||
9 | authority of the arbitration panel or its decision. Increases | ||||||
10 | in rates of compensation awarded by the arbitration panel may | ||||||
11 | be effective only at the start of the fiscal year next | ||||||
12 | commencing after the date of the arbitration award. If a new | ||||||
13 | fiscal year has commenced either since the initiation of | ||||||
14 | arbitration procedures under this Act or since any mutually | ||||||
15 | agreed extension of the statutorily required period of | ||||||
16 | mediation under this Act by the parties to the labor dispute | ||||||
17 | causing a delay in the initiation of arbitration, the | ||||||
18 | foregoing limitations shall be inapplicable, and such awarded | ||||||
19 | increases may be retroactive to the commencement of the fiscal | ||||||
20 | year, any other statute or charter provisions to the contrary, | ||||||
21 | notwithstanding. At any time the parties, by stipulation, may | ||||||
22 | amend or modify an award of arbitration. | ||||||
23 | (k) Orders of the arbitration panel shall be reviewable, | ||||||
24 | upon appropriate petition by either the public employer or the | ||||||
25 | exclusive bargaining representative, by the circuit court for | ||||||
26 | the county in which the dispute arose or in which a majority of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the affected employees reside, but only for reasons that the | ||||||
2 | arbitration panel was without or exceeded its statutory | ||||||
3 | authority; the order is arbitrary, or capricious; or the order | ||||||
4 | was procured by fraud, collusion or other similar and unlawful | ||||||
5 | means. Such petitions for review must be filed with the | ||||||
6 | appropriate circuit court within 90 days following the | ||||||
7 | issuance of the arbitration order. The pendency of such | ||||||
8 | proceeding for review shall not automatically stay the order | ||||||
9 | of the arbitration panel. The party against whom the final | ||||||
10 | decision of any such court shall be adverse, if such court | ||||||
11 | finds such appeal or petition to be frivolous, shall pay | ||||||
12 | reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the successful party | ||||||
13 | as determined by said court in its discretion. If said court's | ||||||
14 | decision affirms the award of money, such award, if | ||||||
15 | retroactive, shall bear interest at the rate of 12 percent per | ||||||
16 | annum from the effective retroactive date. | ||||||
17 | (l) During the pendency of proceedings before the | ||||||
18 | arbitration panel, existing wages, hours, and other conditions | ||||||
19 | of employment shall not be changed by action of either party | ||||||
20 | without the consent of the other but a party may so consent | ||||||
21 | without prejudice to his rights or position under this Act. | ||||||
22 | The proceedings are deemed to be pending before the | ||||||
23 | arbitration panel upon the initiation of arbitration | ||||||
24 | procedures under this Act. | ||||||
25 | (m) Security officers of public employers, and Peace | ||||||
26 | Officers, Fire Fighters and fire department and fire |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | protection district paramedics, covered by this Section may | ||||||
2 | not withhold services, nor may public employers lock out or | ||||||
3 | prevent such employees from performing services at any time. | ||||||
4 | (n) All of the terms decided upon by the arbitration panel | ||||||
5 | shall be included in an agreement to be submitted to the public | ||||||
6 | employer's governing body for ratification and adoption by | ||||||
7 | law, ordinance or the equivalent appropriate means. | ||||||
8 | The governing body shall review each term decided by the | ||||||
9 | arbitration panel. If the governing body fails to reject one | ||||||
10 | or more terms of the arbitration panel's decision by a 3/5 vote | ||||||
11 | of those duly elected and qualified members of the governing | ||||||
12 | body, within 20 days of issuance, or in the case of | ||||||
13 | firefighters employed by a state university, at the next | ||||||
14 | regularly scheduled meeting of the governing body after | ||||||
15 | issuance, such term or terms shall become a part of the | ||||||
16 | collective bargaining agreement of the parties. If the | ||||||
17 | governing body affirmatively rejects one or more terms of the | ||||||
18 | arbitration panel's decision, it must provide reasons for such | ||||||
19 | rejection with respect to each term so rejected, within 20 | ||||||
20 | days of such rejection and the parties shall return to the | ||||||
21 | arbitration panel for further proceedings and issuance of a | ||||||
22 | supplemental decision with respect to the rejected terms. Any | ||||||
23 | supplemental decision by an arbitration panel or other | ||||||
24 | decision maker agreed to by the parties shall be submitted to | ||||||
25 | the governing body for ratification and adoption in accordance | ||||||
26 | with the procedures and voting requirements set forth in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section. The voting requirements of this subsection shall | ||||||
2 | apply to all disputes submitted to arbitration pursuant to | ||||||
3 | this Section notwithstanding any contrary voting requirements | ||||||
4 | contained in any existing collective bargaining agreement | ||||||
5 | between the parties. | ||||||
6 | (o) If the governing body of the employer votes to reject | ||||||

7 | Sec. 5. Purposes. The General Assembly hereby acknowledges | ||||||
8 | that opioid use disorders, overdoses, and deaths in Illinois | ||||||
9 | are persistent and growing concerns for Illinois communities. | ||||||
10 | These concerns compound existing challenges to adequately | ||||||
11 | address and manage substance use and mental health disorders. | ||||||
12 | Local government agencies, law enforcement officers , other | ||||||
13 | first responders, and co-responders have a unique opportunity | ||||||
14 | to facilitate connections to community-based services, | ||||||
15 | including case management, and mental and behavioral health | ||||||
16 | interventions that provide harm reduction or substance use | ||||||
17 | treatment and can help save and restore lives; help reduce | ||||||
18 | drug use, overdose incidence, criminal offending, and | ||||||
19 | recidivism; and help prevent arrest and conviction records | ||||||
20 | that destabilize health, families, and opportunities for | ||||||
21 | community citizenship and self-sufficiency. These efforts are | ||||||
22 | bolstered when pursued in partnership with licensed behavioral | ||||||
23 | health treatment providers and community members or | ||||||
24 | organizations. It is the intent of the General Assembly to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authorize law enforcement , other first responders, and local | ||||||
2 | government agencies to develop and implement collaborative | ||||||
3 | deflection programs in Illinois that offer immediate pathways | ||||||
4 | to substance use treatment and other services as an | ||||||
5 | alternative to traditional case processing and involvement in | ||||||
6 | the criminal justice system , and to unnecessary admission to | ||||||
7 | emergency departments . | ||||||

22 | include, at a minimum, all of the following: | ||||||
23 | (1) Cameras must be equipped with pre-event recording, | ||||||
24 | capable of recording at least the 30 seconds prior to | ||||||
25 | camera activation, unless the officer-worn body camera was |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | to July 1, 2015. | ||||||
3 | (2) Cameras must be capable of recording for a period | ||||||
4 | of 10 hours or more, unless the officer-worn body camera | ||||||
5 | was purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency | ||||||
6 | prior to July 1, 2015. | ||||||
7 | (3) Cameras must be turned on at all times when the | ||||||
8 | officer is in uniform and is responding to calls for | ||||||
9 | service or engaged in any law enforcement-related | ||||||
10 | encounter or activity , that occurs while the officer is on | ||||||
11 | duty. | ||||||
12 | (A) If exigent circumstances exist which prevent | ||||||
13 | the camera from being turned on, the camera must be | ||||||
14 | turned on as soon as practicable. | ||||||
15 | (B) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off | ||||||
16 | when the officer is inside of a patrol car which is | ||||||

12 | However, an officer may continue to record or resume | ||||||
13 | recording a victim or a witness, if exigent circumstances | ||||||
14 | exist, or if the officer has reasonable articulable | ||||||
15 | suspicion that a victim or witness, or confidential | ||||||
16 | informant has committed or is in the process of committing | ||||||
17 | a crime. Under these circumstances, and unless impractical | ||||||
18 | or impossible, the officer must indicate on the recording | ||||||
19 | the reason for continuing to record despite the request of | ||||||

2 | turned on, the camera must be turned on as soon as | ||||||
3 | practicable. | ||||||
4 | (5) The officer must provide notice of recording to | ||||||
5 | any person if the person has a reasonable expectation of | ||||||

7 | recording. If exigent circumstances exist which prevent | ||||||
8 | the officer from providing notice, notice must be provided | ||||||
9 | as soon as practicable. | ||||||
10 | (6) (A) For the purposes of redaction , labeling, or | ||||||
11 | duplicating recordings, access to camera recordings shall | ||||||

13 | those purposes. The recording officer or his or her | ||||||
14 | supervisor may not redact, label, duplicate , or otherwise | ||||||
15 | alter the recording officer's camera recordings. Except as | ||||||
16 | otherwise provided in this Section, the recording officer | ||||||

18 | prior to completing incident reports or other | ||||||
19 | documentation, provided that the officer or his or her | ||||||
20 | supervisor discloses that fact in the report or | ||||||
21 | documentation. | ||||||

23 | access to or review his or her body-worn camera | ||||||
24 | recordings or the body-worn camera recordings of | ||||||
25 | another officer prior to completing incident reports | ||||||

10 | without viewing body-worn camera recordings, and | ||||||
11 | subject to supervisor's approval, officers may file | ||||||
12 | amendatory reports after viewing body-worn camera | ||||||
13 | recordings. Supplemental reports under this provision | ||||||
14 | shall also contain documentation regarding access to | ||||||
15 | the video footage. | ||||||
16 | (B) The recording officer's assigned field | ||||||
17 | training officer may access and review recordings for | ||||||

22 | alter such recordings. | ||||||
23 | (7) Recordings made on officer-worn cameras must be | ||||||
24 | retained by the law enforcement agency or by the camera | ||||||

2 | except for a non-law enforcement related activity or | ||||||
3 | encounter, made with an officer-worn body camera be | ||||||
4 | altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration | ||||||
5 | of the 90-day storage period. In the event any | ||||||
6 | recording made with an officer-worn body camera is | ||||||
7 | altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration | ||||||
8 | of the 90-day storage period, the law enforcement | ||||||
9 | agency shall maintain, for a period of one year, a | ||||||
10 | written record including (i) the name of the | ||||||
11 | individual who made such alteration, erasure, or | ||||||
12 | destruction, and (ii) the reason for any such | ||||||
13 | alteration, erasure, or destruction. | ||||||
14 | (B) Following the 90-day storage period, any and | ||||||
15 | all recordings made with an officer-worn body camera | ||||||
16 | must be destroyed, unless any encounter captured on | ||||||
17 | the recording has been flagged. An encounter is deemed | ||||||
18 | to be flagged when: | ||||||
19 | (i) a formal or informal complaint has been | ||||||
20 | filed; | ||||||
21 | (ii) the officer discharged his or her firearm | ||||||
22 | or used force during the encounter; | ||||||
23 | (iii) death or great bodily harm occurred to | ||||||
24 | any person in the recording; | ||||||
25 | (iv) the encounter resulted in a detention or | ||||||
26 | an arrest, excluding traffic stops which resulted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in only a minor traffic offense or business | ||||||
2 | offense; | ||||||
3 | (v) the officer is the subject of an internal | ||||||
4 | investigation or otherwise being investigated for | ||||||
5 | possible misconduct; | ||||||
6 | (vi) the supervisor of the officer, | ||||||
7 | prosecutor, defendant, or court determines that | ||||||
8 | the encounter has evidentiary value in a criminal | ||||||
9 | prosecution; or | ||||||
10 | (vii) the recording officer requests that the | ||||||
11 | video be flagged for official purposes related to | ||||||
12 | his or her official duties or believes it may have | ||||||
13 | evidentiary value in a criminal prosecution . | ||||||
14 | (C) Under no circumstances shall any recording | ||||||
15 | made with an officer-worn body camera relating to a | ||||||
16 | flagged encounter be altered or destroyed prior to 2 | ||||||
17 | years after the recording was flagged. If the flagged | ||||||
18 | recording was used in a criminal, civil, or | ||||||
19 | administrative proceeding, the recording shall not be | ||||||
20 | destroyed except upon a final disposition and order | ||||||
21 | from the court. | ||||||
22 | (D) Nothing in this Act prohibits law enforcement | ||||||
23 | agencies from labeling officer-worn body camera video | ||||||
24 | within the recording medium; provided that the | ||||||
25 | labeling does not alter the actual recording of the | ||||||
26 | incident captured on the officer-worn body camera. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | labels, titles, and tags shall not be construed as | ||||||
2 | altering the officer-worn body camera video in any | ||||||
3 | way. | ||||||
4 | (8) Following the 90-day storage period, recordings | ||||||
5 | may be retained if a supervisor at the law enforcement | ||||||
6 | agency designates the recording for training purposes. If | ||||||
7 | the recording is designated for training purposes, the | ||||||
8 | recordings may be viewed by officers, in the presence of a | ||||||
9 | supervisor or training instructor, for the purposes of | ||||||
10 | instruction, training, or ensuring compliance with agency | ||||||
11 | policies. | ||||||

13 | enforcement officers unless: | ||||||
14 | (A) a formal or informal complaint of misconduct | ||||||
15 | has been made; | ||||||
16 | (B) a use of force incident has occurred; | ||||||
17 | (C) the encounter on the recording could result in | ||||||
18 | a formal investigation under the Uniform Peace | ||||||
19 | Officers' Disciplinary Act; or | ||||||
20 | (D) as corroboration of other evidence of | ||||||
21 | misconduct. | ||||||
22 | Nothing in this paragraph (9) shall be construed to | ||||||
23 | limit or prohibit a law enforcement officer from being | ||||||
24 | subject to an action that does not amount to discipline. | ||||||
25 | (10) The law enforcement agency shall ensure proper | ||||||
26 | care and maintenance of officer-worn body cameras. Upon |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | becoming aware, officers must as soon as practical | ||||||
2 | document and notify the appropriate supervisor of any | ||||||
3 | technical difficulties, failures, or problems with the | ||||||
4 | officer-worn body camera or associated equipment. Upon | ||||||
5 | receiving notice, the appropriate supervisor shall make | ||||||
6 | every reasonable effort to correct and repair any of the | ||||||
7 | officer-worn body camera equipment. | ||||||
8 | (11) No officer may hinder or prohibit any person, not | ||||||
9 | a law enforcement officer, from recording a law | ||||||
10 | enforcement officer in the performance of his or her | ||||||
11 | duties in a public place or when the officer has no | ||||||
12 | reasonable expectation of privacy. The law enforcement | ||||||
13 | agency's written policy shall indicate the potential | ||||||
14 | criminal penalties, as well as any departmental | ||||||
15 | discipline, which may result from unlawful confiscation or | ||||||
16 | destruction of the recording medium of a person who is not | ||||||
17 | a law enforcement officer. However, an officer may take | ||||||
18 | reasonable action to maintain safety and control, secure | ||||||
19 | crime scenes and accident sites, protect the integrity and | ||||||
20 | confidentiality of investigations, and protect the public | ||||||
21 | safety and order. | ||||||
22 | (b) Recordings made with the use of an officer-worn body | ||||||
23 | camera are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of | ||||||
24 | Information Act, except that: | ||||||
25 | (1) if the subject of the encounter has a reasonable | ||||||
26 | expectation of privacy, at the time of the recording, any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recording which is flagged, due to the filing of a | ||||||
2 | complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of force, arrest or | ||||||
3 | detention, or resulting death or bodily harm, shall be | ||||||
4 | disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information | ||||||
5 | Act if: | ||||||
6 | (A) the subject of the encounter captured on the | ||||||
7 | recording is a victim or witness; and | ||||||
8 | (B) the law enforcement agency obtains written | ||||||
9 | permission of the subject or the subject's legal | ||||||
10 | representative; | ||||||
11 | (2) except as provided in paragraph (1) of this | ||||||
12 | subsection (b), any recording which is flagged due to the | ||||||
13 | filing of a complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of | ||||||
14 | force, arrest or detention, or resulting death or bodily | ||||||
15 | harm shall be disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of | ||||||
16 | Information Act; and | ||||||
17 | (3) upon request, the law enforcement agency shall | ||||||
18 | disclose, in accordance with the Freedom of Information | ||||||
19 | Act, the recording to the subject of the encounter | ||||||
20 | captured on the recording or to the subject's attorney, or | ||||||
21 | the officer or his or her legal representative. | ||||||
22 | For the purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), | ||||||
23 | the subject of the encounter does not have a reasonable | ||||||
24 | expectation of privacy if the subject was arrested as a result | ||||||
25 | of the encounter. For purposes of subparagraph (A) of | ||||||
26 | paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), "witness" does not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | include a person who is a victim or who was arrested as a | ||||||
2 | result of the encounter. | ||||||
3 | Only recordings or portions of recordings responsive to | ||||||
4 | the request shall be available for inspection or reproduction. | ||||||
5 | Any recording disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act | ||||||
6 | shall be redacted to remove identification of any person that | ||||||
7 | appears on the recording and is not the officer, a subject of | ||||||
8 | the encounter, or directly involved in the encounter. Nothing | ||||||
9 | in this subsection (b) shall require the disclosure of any | ||||||
10 | recording or portion of any recording which would be exempt | ||||||
11 | from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. | ||||||
12 | (c) Nothing in this Section shall limit access to a camera | ||||||
13 | recording for the purposes of complying with Supreme Court | ||||||
14 | rules or the rules of evidence. | ||||||

21 | separate account, have been used to fund or pay any expenses, | ||||||
22 | taxes, or policyholder benefits that are attributable to a | ||||||
23 | separate account policy, contract, or agreement that should | ||||||
24 | have been paid by a separate account prior to the commencement | ||||||

22 | Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health Insurance Guaranty | ||||||
23 | Association, the Illinois Health Maintenance Organization | ||||||
24 | Guaranty Association, and similar organizations in other | ||||||

13 | care professional or approved pediatric health care facility | ||||||
14 | with a written statement of the deficiencies in the protocol. | ||||||

17 | violation, excluding those offenses listed in paragraph (2) of | ||||||
18 | subsection (a) of this Section. These reports shall be sent | ||||||
19 | within 5 days after disposition, or, if the driver is referred | ||||||
20 | to a driver remedial or rehabilitative program, within 5 days | ||||||
21 | of the driver's referral to that program. These reports | ||||||
22 | received by the Secretary of State, including those required | ||||||
23 | to be forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged | ||||||
24 | information, available only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) | ||||||

2 | authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing | ||||||

10 | court that the person's appearance in and surrender to the | ||||||
11 | court is impossible for no fault of the person, the court shall | ||||||
12 | enter an order of failure to appear. The clerk of the court | ||||||
13 | shall notify the Secretary of State, on a report prescribed by | ||||||
14 | the Secretary, of the court's order. The Secretary, when | ||||||

24 | compliance containing the seal of the court, and shall notify | ||||||
25 | the Secretary that the person has appeared and resolved the | ||||||

9 | lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days after the | ||||||
10 | violation, except that in the case of a lessee of a motor | ||||||
11 | vehicle, service of an automated traffic law violation | ||||||
12 | notice may occur no later than 210 days after the | ||||||
13 | violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and | ||||||
14 | serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices | ||||||
15 | shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered | ||||||
16 | on the violation notice by signing his or her name to the | ||||||
17 | notice at the time of service or, in the case of a notice | ||||||
18 | produced by a computerized device, by signing a single | ||||||
19 | certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance | ||||||
20 | administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices | ||||||
21 | produced by the device while it was under his or her | ||||||
22 | control. In the case of an automated traffic law | ||||||
23 | violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by | ||||||
24 | a technician employed or contracted by the municipality or | ||||||
25 | county that, based on inspection of recorded images, the | ||||||
26 | motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance. If | ||||||
2 | the technician determines that the vehicle entered the | ||||||
3 | intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order | ||||||
4 | to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a | ||||||
5 | citation shall not be issued. In municipalities with a | ||||||
6 | population of less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties | ||||||
7 | with a population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the | ||||||
8 | automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all | ||||||
9 | determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was | ||||||
10 | being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, | ||||||
11 | or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and | ||||||
12 | approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law | ||||||
13 | enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing | ||||||
14 | the violation. In municipalities with a population of | ||||||
15 | 1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a | ||||||
16 | population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated | ||||||
17 | traffic law ordinance shall require that all | ||||||
18 | determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was | ||||||
19 | being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, | ||||||
20 | or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and | ||||||
21 | approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law | ||||||
22 | enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing | ||||||
23 | the violation or by an additional fully trained reviewing | ||||||
24 | technician who is not employed by the contractor who | ||||||
25 | employs the technician who made the initial determination. | ||||||
26 | In the case of an automated speed enforcement system |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by | ||||||
2 | a technician employed by the municipality, based upon an | ||||||
3 | inspection of recorded images, video or other | ||||||
4 | documentation, including documentation of the speed limit | ||||||
5 | and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation | ||||||
6 | of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the | ||||||
7 | speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in | ||||||
8 | violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a | ||||||
9 | similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that | ||||||
10 | the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated, | ||||||
11 | certified speed equipment device based upon the speed | ||||||
12 | equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an | ||||||
13 | emergency vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The | ||||||
14 | automated speed enforcement ordinance shall require that | ||||||
15 | all determinations by a technician that a violation | ||||||
16 | occurred be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement | ||||||
17 | officer or retired law enforcement officer of the | ||||||
18 | municipality issuing the violation or by an additional | ||||||
19 | fully trained reviewing technician who is not employed by | ||||||
20 | the contractor who employs the technician who made the | ||||||
21 | initial determination. Routine and independent calibration | ||||||
22 | of the speeds produced by automated speed enforcement | ||||||
23 | systems and equipment shall be conducted annually by a | ||||||
24 | qualified technician. Speeds produced by an automated | ||||||
25 | speed enforcement system shall be compared with speeds | ||||||
26 | produced by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | lidar equipment shall undergo an internal validation test | ||||||
2 | no less frequently than once each week. Qualified | ||||||
3 | technicians shall test loop-based equipment no less | ||||||
4 | frequently than once a year. Radar equipment shall be | ||||||
5 | checked for accuracy by a qualified technician when the | ||||||
6 | unit is serviced, when unusual or suspect readings | ||||||
7 | persist, or when deemed necessary by a reviewing | ||||||
8 | technician. Radar equipment shall be checked with the | ||||||
9 | internal frequency generator and the internal circuit test | ||||||
10 | whenever the radar is turned on. Technicians must be alert | ||||||
11 | for any unusual or suspect readings, and if unusual or | ||||||
12 | suspect readings of a radar unit persist, that unit shall | ||||||
13 | immediately be removed from service and not returned to | ||||||
14 | service until it has been checked by a qualified | ||||||
15 | technician and determined to be functioning properly. | ||||||
16 | Documentation of the annual calibration results, including | ||||||
17 | the equipment tested, test date, technician performing the | ||||||
18 | test, and test results, shall be maintained and available | ||||||
19 | for use in the determination of an automated speed | ||||||
20 | enforcement system violation and issuance of a citation. | ||||||
21 | The technician performing the calibration and testing of | ||||||
22 | the automated speed enforcement equipment shall be trained | ||||||
23 | and certified in the use of equipment for speed | ||||||
24 | enforcement purposes. Training on the speed enforcement | ||||||
25 | equipment may be conducted by law enforcement, civilian, | ||||||
26 | or manufacturer's personnel and if applicable may be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equivalent to the equipment use and operations training | ||||||
2 | included in the Speed Measuring Device Operator Program | ||||||
3 | developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety | ||||||
4 | Administration (NHTSA). The vendor or technician who | ||||||
5 | performs the work shall keep accurate records on each | ||||||
6 | piece of equipment the technician calibrates and tests. As | ||||||
7 | used in this paragraph, "fully trained reviewing | ||||||
8 | technician" means a person who has received at least 40 | ||||||
9 | hours of supervised training in subjects which shall | ||||||
10 | include image inspection and interpretation, the elements | ||||||
11 | necessary to prove a violation, license plate | ||||||
12 | identification, and traffic safety and management. In all | ||||||
13 | municipalities and counties, the automated speed | ||||||
14 | enforcement system or automated traffic law ordinance | ||||||
15 | shall require that no additional fee shall be charged to | ||||||
16 | the alleged violator for exercising his or her right to an | ||||||
17 | administrative hearing, and persons shall be given at | ||||||
18 | least 25 days following an administrative hearing to pay | ||||||
19 | any civil penalty imposed by a finding that Section | ||||||
20 | 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a similar | ||||||
21 | local ordinance has been violated. The original or a | ||||||
22 | facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a | ||||||
23 | notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record | ||||||
24 | generated by the device showing the facts entered on the | ||||||
25 | notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance | ||||||
26 | administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | course of business. A parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
2 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic | ||||||
3 | law violation notice issued, signed, and served in | ||||||
4 | accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the | ||||||
5 | computer-generated record shall be prima facie correct and | ||||||
6 | shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the | ||||||
7 | facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or | ||||||
8 | computer-generated record shall be admissible in any | ||||||
9 | subsequent administrative or legal proceedings. | ||||||
10 | (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered | ||||||
11 | owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing, | ||||||
12 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or | ||||||
13 | automated traffic law violation notice in which the owner | ||||||
14 | may contest the merits of the alleged violation, and | ||||||
15 | during which formal or technical rules of evidence shall | ||||||
16 | not apply; provided, however, that under Section 11-1306 | ||||||
17 | of this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the violation | ||||||
18 | notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a | ||||||
19 | hearing of the same kind afforded the registered owner. | ||||||
20 | The hearings shall be recorded, and the person conducting | ||||||
21 | the hearing on behalf of the traffic compliance | ||||||
22 | administrator shall be empowered to administer oaths and | ||||||
23 | to secure by subpoena both the attendance and testimony of | ||||||
24 | witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers. | ||||||
25 | Persons appearing at a hearing under this Section may be | ||||||
26 | represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | also provide for internal administrative review following | ||||||
2 | the decision of the hearing officer. | ||||||
3 | (5) Service of additional notices, sent by first class | ||||||
4 | United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the | ||||||
5 | registered owner of the cited vehicle as recorded with the | ||||||
6 | Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is | ||||||
7 | returned as undeliverable, to the last known address | ||||||
8 | recorded in a United States Post Office approved database, | ||||||
9 | or, under Section 11-1306 or subsection (p) of Section | ||||||
10 | 11-208.6 or 11-208.9, or subsection (p) of Section | ||||||
11 | 11-208.8 of this Code, to the lessee of the cited vehicle | ||||||
12 | at the last address known to the lessor of the cited | ||||||
13 | vehicle at the time of lease or, if any notice to that | ||||||
14 | address is returned as undeliverable, to the last known | ||||||
15 | address recorded in a United States Post Office approved | ||||||
16 | database. The service shall be deemed complete as of the | ||||||
17 | date of deposit in the United States mail. The notices | ||||||
18 | shall be in the following sequence and shall include, but | ||||||
19 | not be limited to, the information specified herein: | ||||||
20 | (i) A second notice of parking, standing, or | ||||||
21 | compliance violation if the first notice of the | ||||||
22 | violation was issued by affixing the original or a | ||||||
23 | facsimile of the notice to the unlawfully parked | ||||||
24 | vehicle or by handing the notice to the operator. This | ||||||
25 | notice shall specify or include the date and location | ||||||
26 | of the violation cited in the parking, standing, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compliance violation notice, the particular regulation | ||||||
2 | violated, the vehicle make or a photograph of the | ||||||
3 | vehicle, the state registration number of the vehicle, | ||||||
4 | any requirement to complete a traffic education | ||||||
5 | program, the fine and any penalty that may be assessed | ||||||
6 | for late payment or failure to complete a traffic | ||||||
7 | education program, or both, when so provided by | ||||||
8 | ordinance, the availability of a hearing in which the | ||||||
9 | violation may be contested on its merits, and the time | ||||||
10 | and manner in which the hearing may be had. The notice | ||||||
11 | of violation shall also state that failure to complete | ||||||
12 | a required traffic education program, to pay the | ||||||
13 | indicated fine and any applicable penalty, or to | ||||||
14 | appear at a hearing on the merits in the time and | ||||||
15 | manner specified, will result in a final determination | ||||||
16 | of violation liability for the cited violation in the | ||||||
17 | amount of the fine or penalty indicated, and that, | ||||||
18 | upon the occurrence of a final determination of | ||||||
19 | violation liability for the failure, and the | ||||||
20 | exhaustion of, or failure to exhaust, available | ||||||
21 | administrative or judicial procedures for review, any | ||||||
22 | incomplete traffic education program or any unpaid | ||||||
23 | fine or penalty, or both, will constitute a debt due | ||||||
24 | and owing the municipality or county. | ||||||
25 | (ii) A notice of final determination of parking, | ||||||
26 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | system, or automated traffic law violation liability. | ||||||
2 | This notice shall be sent following a final | ||||||
3 | determination of parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
4 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated | ||||||
5 | traffic law violation liability and the conclusion of | ||||||
6 | judicial review procedures taken under this Section. | ||||||
7 | The notice shall state that the incomplete traffic | ||||||
8 | education program or the unpaid fine or penalty, or | ||||||
9 | both, is a debt due and owing the municipality or | ||||||
10 | county. The notice shall contain warnings that failure | ||||||
11 | to complete any required traffic education program or | ||||||
12 | to pay any fine or penalty due and owing the | ||||||
13 | municipality or county, or both, within the time | ||||||
14 | specified may result in the municipality's or county's | ||||||
15 | filing of a petition in the Circuit Court to have the | ||||||
16 | incomplete traffic education program or unpaid fine or | ||||||
17 | penalty, or both, rendered a judgment as provided by | ||||||
18 | this Section, or, where applicable, may result in | ||||||
19 | suspension of the person's driver's license for | ||||||
20 | failure to complete a traffic education program or to | ||||||
21 | pay fines or penalties, or both, for 5 or more | ||||||
22 | automated traffic law violations under Section | ||||||
23 | 11-208.6 or 11-208.9 or automated speed enforcement | ||||||
24 | system violations under Section 11-208.8 . | ||||||
25 | (6) A notice of impending driver's license suspension. | ||||||
26 | This notice shall be sent to the person liable for failure |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to complete a required traffic education program or to pay | ||||||
2 | any fine or penalty that remains due and owing, or both, on | ||||||
3 | 5 or more unpaid automated speed enforcement system or | ||||||
4 | automated traffic law violations . The notice shall state | ||||||
5 | that failure to complete a required traffic education | ||||||
6 | program or to pay the fine or penalty owing, or both, | ||||||
7 | within 45 days of the notice's date will result in the | ||||||
8 | municipality or county notifying the Secretary of State | ||||||
9 | that the person is eligible for initiation of suspension | ||||||
10 | proceedings under Section 6-306.5-1 6-306.5 of this Code. | ||||||
11 | The notice shall also state that the person may obtain a | ||||||
12 | photostatic copy of an original ticket imposing a fine or | ||||||
13 | penalty by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to | ||||||
14 | the municipality or county along with a request for the | ||||||
15 | photostatic copy. The notice of impending driver's license | ||||||
16 | suspension shall be sent by first class United States | ||||||
17 | mail, postage prepaid, to the address recorded with the | ||||||
18 | Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is | ||||||
19 | returned as undeliverable, to the last known address | ||||||
20 | recorded in a United States Post Office approved database. | ||||||
21 | (7) Final determinations of violation liability. A | ||||||
22 | final determination of violation liability shall occur | ||||||
23 | following failure to complete the required traffic | ||||||
24 | education program or to pay the fine or penalty, or both, | ||||||
25 | after a hearing officer's determination of violation | ||||||
26 | liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administrative review procedures provided by ordinance. | ||||||
2 | Where a person fails to appear at a hearing to contest the | ||||||
3 | alleged violation in the time and manner specified in a | ||||||
4 | prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's determination | ||||||
5 | of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon denial | ||||||
6 | of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or | ||||||
7 | (B) upon expiration of the period for filing the petition | ||||||
8 | without a filing having been made. | ||||||
9 | (8) A petition to set aside a determination of | ||||||
10 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
11 | system, or automated traffic law violation liability that | ||||||
12 | may be filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. A | ||||||
13 | petition to set aside a determination of liability may | ||||||
14 | also be filed by a person required to complete a traffic | ||||||
15 | education program. The petition shall be filed with and | ||||||
16 | ruled upon by the traffic compliance administrator in the | ||||||
17 | manner and within the time specified by ordinance. The | ||||||
18 | grounds for the petition may be limited to: (A) the person | ||||||
19 | not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on | ||||||
20 | the date the violation notice was issued, (B) the person | ||||||
21 | having already completed the required traffic education | ||||||
22 | program or paid the fine or penalty, or both, for the | ||||||
23 | violation in question, and (C) excusable failure to appear | ||||||
24 | at or request a new date for a hearing. With regard to | ||||||
25 | municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million | ||||||
26 | or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violation if the state registration number or vehicle | ||||||
2 | make, only if specified in the violation notice, is | ||||||
3 | incorrect. After the determination of parking, standing, | ||||||
4 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or | ||||||
5 | automated traffic law violation liability has been set | ||||||
6 | aside upon a showing of just cause, the registered owner | ||||||
7 | shall be provided with a hearing on the merits for that | ||||||
8 | violation. | ||||||
9 | (9) Procedures for non-residents. Procedures by which | ||||||
10 | persons who are not residents of the municipality or | ||||||
11 | county may contest the merits of the alleged violation | ||||||
12 | without attending a hearing. | ||||||
13 | (10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of | ||||||
14 | vehicular standing, parking, compliance, automated speed | ||||||
15 | enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulations | ||||||
16 | enacted by ordinance pursuant to this Section, and a | ||||||
17 | schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or | ||||||
18 | failure to complete required traffic education programs, | ||||||
19 | provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and | ||||||
20 | penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, | ||||||
21 | except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 | ||||||
22 | of this Code. | ||||||
23 | (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to | ||||||
24 | carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated | ||||||
25 | in this Section. | ||||||
26 | (b-5) An automated speed enforcement system or automated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | traffic law ordinance adopted under this Section by a | ||||||
2 | municipality or county shall require that the determination to | ||||||
3 | issue a citation be vested solely with the municipality or | ||||||
4 | county and that such authority may not be delegated to any | ||||||
5 | vendor retained by the municipality or county. Any contract or | ||||||
6 | agreement violating such a provision in the ordinance is null | ||||||
7 | and void. | ||||||
8 | (c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular | ||||||
9 | standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
10 | system, or automated traffic law regulations under this | ||||||
11 | Section may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle | ||||||
12 | immobilization for the purpose of facilitating enforcement of | ||||||
13 | those regulations. The program of vehicle immobilization shall | ||||||
14 | provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the public | ||||||
15 | way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation | ||||||
16 | of the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of | ||||||
17 | vehicle immobilization under this Section shall provide: | ||||||
18 | (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible | ||||||
19 | for immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for | ||||||
20 | immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle | ||||||
21 | has accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education | ||||||
22 | programs or unpaid final determinations of parking, | ||||||
23 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, | ||||||
24 | or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as | ||||||
25 | determined by ordinance. | ||||||
26 | (2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the notice | ||||||
2 | by disproving liability for the incomplete traffic | ||||||
3 | education programs or unpaid final determinations of | ||||||
4 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
5 | system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or | ||||||
6 | both, listed on the notice. | ||||||
7 | (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has | ||||||
8 | been immobilized or subsequently towed without the | ||||||
9 | completion of the required traffic education program or | ||||||
10 | payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking, | ||||||
11 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, | ||||||
12 | or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which | ||||||
13 | final determinations have been issued. An order issued | ||||||
14 | after the hearing is a final administrative decision | ||||||
15 | within the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
16 | Procedure. | ||||||
17 | (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice | ||||||
18 | advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right | ||||||
19 | to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment. | ||||||
20 | (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking, | ||||||
21 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or | ||||||
22 | automated traffic law violations and final administrative | ||||||
23 | decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle | ||||||
24 | immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall | ||||||
25 | be subject to the provisions of the Administrative Review Law. | ||||||
26 | (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining unpaid | ||||||
2 | after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust, | ||||||
3 | administrative remedies created under this Section and the | ||||||
4 | conclusion of any judicial review procedures shall be a debt | ||||||
5 | due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be | ||||||
6 | collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any | ||||||
7 | required traffic education program and payment in full of any | ||||||
8 | fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking, | ||||||
9 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated | ||||||
10 | traffic law violation shall constitute a final disposition of | ||||||
11 | that violation. | ||||||
12 | (f) After the expiration of the period within which | ||||||
13 | judicial review may be sought for a final determination of | ||||||
14 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
15 | system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality | ||||||
16 | or county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for | ||||||
17 | purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of | ||||||
18 | violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a | ||||||
19 | municipality or county from consolidating multiple final | ||||||
20 | determinations of parking, standing, compliance, automated | ||||||
21 | speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violations | ||||||
22 | against a person in a proceeding. Upon commencement of the | ||||||
23 | action, the municipality or county shall file a certified copy | ||||||
24 | or record of the final determination of parking, standing, | ||||||
25 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated | ||||||
26 | traffic law violation, which shall be accompanied by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certification that recites facts sufficient to show that the | ||||||
2 | final determination of violation was issued in accordance with | ||||||
3 | this Section and the applicable municipal or county ordinance. | ||||||
4 | Service of the summons and a copy of the petition may be by any | ||||||
5 | method provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
6 | Procedure or by certified mail, return receipt requested, | ||||||
7 | provided that the total amount of fines and penalties for | ||||||
8 | final determinations of parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
9 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law | ||||||
10 | violations does not exceed $2500. If the court is satisfied | ||||||
11 | that the final determination of parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
12 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law | ||||||
13 | violation was entered in accordance with the requirements of | ||||||
14 | this Section and the applicable municipal or county ordinance, | ||||||
15 | and that the registered owner or the lessee, as the case may | ||||||
16 | be, had an opportunity for an administrative hearing and for | ||||||
17 | judicial review as provided in this Section, the court shall | ||||||
18 | render judgment in favor of the municipality or county and | ||||||
19 | against the registered owner or the lessee for the amount | ||||||
20 | indicated in the final determination of parking, standing, | ||||||
21 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated | ||||||
22 | traffic law violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the | ||||||
23 | same effect and may be enforced in the same manner as other | ||||||
24 | judgments for the recovery of money. | ||||||
25 | (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education | ||||||
26 | program under this Section shall not exceed $25. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A low-income individual required to complete a traffic | ||||||
2 | education program under this Section who provides proof of | ||||||
3 | eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under | ||||||
4 | Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned | ||||||
5 | income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax | ||||||
6 | Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a | ||||||
7 | required traffic education program. | ||||||
8 | (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the | ||||||
9 | contrary, a person shall not be liable for violations, fees, | ||||||
10 | fines, or penalties under this Section during the period in | ||||||
11 | which the motor vehicle was stolen or hijacked, as indicated | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | (625 ILCS 5/11-208.6) | ||||||
17 | Sec. 11-208.6. Automated traffic law enforcement system. | ||||||
18 | (a) As used in this Section, "automated traffic law | ||||||
19 | enforcement system" means a device with one or more motor | ||||||
20 | vehicle sensors working in conjunction with a red light signal | ||||||
21 | to produce recorded images of motor vehicles entering an | ||||||
22 | intersection against a red signal indication in violation of | ||||||
23 | Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
24 | ordinance. | ||||||
25 | An automated traffic law enforcement system is a system, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in a municipality or county operated by a governmental agency, | ||||||
2 | that produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation | ||||||
3 | of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance and is | ||||||
4 | designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and | ||||||
5 | the vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also | ||||||
6 | display the time, date, and location of the violation. | ||||||
7 | (b) As used in this Section, "recorded images" means | ||||||
8 | images recorded by an automated traffic law enforcement system | ||||||
9 | on: | ||||||
10 | (1) 2 or more photographs; | ||||||
11 | (2) 2 or more microphotographs; | ||||||
12 | (3) 2 or more electronic images; or | ||||||
13 | (4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and, | ||||||
14 | on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly | ||||||
15 | identifying the registration plate or digital registration | ||||||
16 | plate number of the motor vehicle. | ||||||
17 | (b-5) A municipality or county that produces a recorded | ||||||
18 | image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this | ||||||
19 | Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a | ||||||
20 | violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the | ||||||
21 | alleged violator with a website address, accessible through | ||||||
22 | the Internet. | ||||||
23 | (c) Except as provided under Section 11-208.8 of this | ||||||
24 | Code, a county or municipality, including a home rule county | ||||||
25 | or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law | ||||||
26 | enforcement system to provide recorded images of a motor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | vehicle for the purpose of recording its speed. Except as | ||||||
2 | provided under Section 11-208.8 of this Code, the regulation | ||||||
3 | of the use of automated traffic law enforcement systems to | ||||||
4 | record vehicle speeds is an exclusive power and function of | ||||||
5 | the State. This subsection (c) is a denial and limitation of | ||||||
6 | home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section | ||||||
7 | 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution. | ||||||
8 | (c-5) A county or municipality, including a home rule | ||||||
9 | county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law | ||||||
10 | enforcement system to issue violations in instances where the | ||||||
11 | motor vehicle comes to a complete stop and does not enter the | ||||||
12 | intersection, as defined by Section 1-132 of this Code, during | ||||||
13 | the cycle of the red signal indication unless one or more | ||||||
14 | pedestrians or bicyclists are present, even if the motor | ||||||
15 | vehicle stops at a point past a stop line or crosswalk where a | ||||||
16 | driver is required to stop, as specified in subsection (c) of | ||||||
17 | Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
18 | ordinance. | ||||||
19 | (c-6) A county, or a municipality with less than 2,000,000 | ||||||
20 | inhabitants, including a home rule county or municipality, may | ||||||
21 | not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to issue | ||||||
22 | violations in instances where a motorcyclist enters an | ||||||
23 | intersection against a red signal indication when the red | ||||||
24 | signal fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable | ||||||
25 | period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal | ||||||
26 | malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | arrival of the motorcycle due to the motorcycle's size or | ||||||
2 | weight. | ||||||
3 | (d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a | ||||||
4 | local ordinance recorded by an automatic traffic law | ||||||
5 | enforcement system, the county or municipality having | ||||||
6 | jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the violation to | ||||||
7 | the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator. | ||||||
8 | The notice shall be delivered to the registered owner of the | ||||||
9 | vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State | ||||||
10 | notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the | ||||||
11 | owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after | ||||||
12 | the violation. | ||||||
13 | The notice shall include: | ||||||
14 | (1) the name and address of the registered owner of | ||||||
15 | the vehicle; | ||||||
16 | (2) the registration number of the motor vehicle | ||||||
17 | involved in the violation; | ||||||
18 | (3) the violation charged; | ||||||
19 | (4) the location where the violation occurred; | ||||||
20 | (5) the date and time of the violation; | ||||||
21 | (6) a copy of the recorded images; | ||||||
22 | (7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the | ||||||
23 | requirements of any traffic education program imposed and | ||||||
24 | the date by which the civil penalty should be paid and the | ||||||
25 | traffic education program should be completed; | ||||||
26 | (8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violation of a red light signal; | ||||||
2 | (9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty, | ||||||
3 | to complete a required traffic education program, or to | ||||||
4 | contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of | ||||||
5 | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving | ||||||
6 | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle ; | ||||||
7 | (10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | ||||||
8 | by: | ||||||
9 | (A) paying the fine, completing a required traffic | ||||||
10 | education program, or both; or | ||||||
11 | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or | ||||||
12 | by administrative hearing; and | ||||||
13 | (11) a website address, accessible through the | ||||||
14 | Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of | ||||||
15 | the violation. | ||||||
16 | (e) (Blank). | ||||||
17 | (e-1) If a person charged with a traffic violation, as a | ||||||
18 | result of an automated traffic law enforcement system, does | ||||||
19 | not pay the fine or complete a required traffic education | ||||||
20 | program, or both, or successfully contest the civil penalty | ||||||
21 | resulting from that violation, the Secretary of State shall | ||||||
22 | suspend the driving privileges of the registered owner of the | ||||||
23 | vehicle under Section 6-306.5-1 of this Code for failing to | ||||||
24 | complete a required traffic education program or to pay any | ||||||
25 | fine or penalty due and owing, or both, as a result of a | ||||||
26 | combination of 5 violations of the automated traffic law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement system or the automated speed enforcement system | ||||||
2 | under Section 11-208.8 of this Code. | ||||||
3 | (f) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an | ||||||
4 | automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging | ||||||
5 | that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts | ||||||
6 | contained in the notice and admissible in any proceeding | ||||||
7 | alleging a violation under this Section. | ||||||
8 | (g) Recorded images made by an automatic traffic law | ||||||
9 | enforcement system are confidential and shall be made | ||||||
10 | available only to the alleged violator and governmental and | ||||||
11 | law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a | ||||||
12 | violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for | ||||||
13 | other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a | ||||||
14 | violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in any | ||||||
15 | proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation. | ||||||
16 | (h) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense | ||||||
17 | of a violation: | ||||||
18 | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or | ||||||
19 | digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were | ||||||
20 | stolen before the violation occurred and not under the | ||||||
21 | control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at | ||||||
22 | the time of the violation; | ||||||
23 | (1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the | ||||||
24 | violation occurred and not under the control of or in the | ||||||
25 | possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the | ||||||
26 | violation; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) that the driver of the vehicle passed through the | ||||||
2 | intersection when the light was red either (i) in order to | ||||||
3 | yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or (ii) as | ||||||
4 | part of a funeral procession; and | ||||||
5 | (3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | ||||||
6 | or county ordinance. | ||||||
7 | (i) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or | ||||||
8 | the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital | ||||||
9 | registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred | ||||||
10 | and were not under the control or possession of the owner or | ||||||
11 | lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must | ||||||
12 | submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or | ||||||
13 | registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in | ||||||
14 | a timely manner. | ||||||
15 | (j) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a | ||||||
16 | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of | ||||||
17 | the violation, the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil | ||||||
18 | penalty not exceeding $100 or the completion of a traffic | ||||||
19 | education program, or both, plus an additional penalty of not | ||||||
20 | more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty or to | ||||||
21 | complete a required traffic education program, or both, in a | ||||||
22 | timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an | ||||||
23 | automated traffic law enforcement system. A violation for | ||||||
24 | which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a | ||||||
25 | violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of | ||||||
26 | vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | owner of the vehicle. | ||||||
2 | (j-3) A registered owner who is a holder of a valid | ||||||
3 | commercial driver's license is not required to complete a | ||||||
4 | traffic education program. | ||||||
5 | (j-5) For purposes of the required traffic education | ||||||
6 | program only, a registered owner may submit an affidavit to | ||||||
7 | the court or hearing officer swearing that at the time of the | ||||||
8 | alleged violation, the vehicle was in the custody and control | ||||||
9 | of another person. The affidavit must identify the person in | ||||||
10 | custody and control of the vehicle, including the person's | ||||||
11 | name and current address. The person in custody and control of | ||||||
12 | the vehicle at the time of the violation is required to | ||||||
13 | complete the required traffic education program. If the person | ||||||
14 | in custody and control of the vehicle at the time of the | ||||||
15 | violation completes the required traffic education program, | ||||||
16 | the registered owner of the vehicle is not required to | ||||||
17 | complete a traffic education program. | ||||||
18 | (k) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic law | ||||||
19 | enforcement system must be posted with a sign visible to | ||||||
20 | approaching traffic indicating that the intersection is being | ||||||
21 | monitored by an automated traffic law enforcement system and | ||||||
22 | informing drivers whether, following a stop, a right turn at | ||||||
23 | the intersection is permitted or prohibited. | ||||||
24 | (k-3) A municipality or county that has one or more | ||||||
25 | intersections equipped with an automated traffic law | ||||||
26 | enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the locations of automated traffic law systems on the | ||||||
2 | municipality or county website. | ||||||
3 | (k-5) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic | ||||||
4 | law enforcement system must have a yellow change interval that | ||||||
5 | conforms with the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control | ||||||
6 | Devices (IMUTCD) published by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
7 | Transportation. Beginning 6 months before it installs an | ||||||
8 | automated traffic law enforcement system at an intersection, a | ||||||
9 | county or municipality may not change the yellow change | ||||||
10 | interval at that intersection. | ||||||
11 | (k-7) A municipality or county operating an automated | ||||||
12 | traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical | ||||||
13 | analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic | ||||||
14 | law enforcement system at an intersection following | ||||||
15 | installation of the system and every 2 years thereafter. Each | ||||||
16 | statistical analysis shall be based upon the best available | ||||||
17 | crash, traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of | ||||||
18 | time before and after installation of the system sufficient to | ||||||
19 | provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact. | ||||||
20 | Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with | ||||||
21 | professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each | ||||||
22 | statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data | ||||||
23 | required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions | ||||||
24 | and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following | ||||||
25 | the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
26 | system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (k-7) shall be made available to the public and shall be | ||||||
2 | published on the website of the municipality or county. If a | ||||||
3 | statistical analysis 36-month indicates that there has been an | ||||||
4 | increase in the rate of crashes at the approach to the | ||||||
5 | intersection monitored by the system, the municipality or | ||||||
6 | county shall undertake additional studies to determine the | ||||||
7 | cause and severity of the crashes, and may take any action that | ||||||
8 | it determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number | ||||||
9 | or severity of the crashes at that intersection. | ||||||
10 | (k-8) Any municipality or county operating an automated | ||||||
11 | traffic law enforcement system before July 28, 2023 ( the | ||||||
12 | effective date of Public Act 103-364) this amendatory Act of | ||||||
13 | the 103rd General Assembly shall conduct a statistical | ||||||
14 | analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic | ||||||
15 | law enforcement system at an intersection by no later than one | ||||||
16 | year after July 28, 2023 ( the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
17 | 103-364 this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and | ||||||
18 | every 2 years thereafter. The statistical analyses shall be | ||||||
19 | based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data, | ||||||
20 | and shall cover a period of time before and after installation | ||||||
21 | of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid | ||||||
22 | comparison of safety impact. The statistical analyses shall be | ||||||
23 | consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry | ||||||
24 | practice. The statistical analyses also shall be consistent | ||||||
25 | with the data required for valid comparisons of before and | ||||||
26 | after conditions. The statistical analyses required by this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection shall be made available to the public and shall be | ||||||
2 | published on the website of the municipality or county. If the | ||||||
3 | statistical analysis for any period following installation of | ||||||
4 | the system indicates that there has been an increase in the | ||||||
5 | rate of accidents at the approach to the intersection | ||||||
6 | monitored by the system, the municipality or county shall | ||||||
7 | undertake additional studies to determine the cause and | ||||||
8 | severity of the accidents, and may take any action that it | ||||||
9 | determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number or | ||||||
10 | severity of the accidents at that intersection. | ||||||
11 | (l) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law | ||||||
12 | enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment | ||||||
13 | or the services provided and may not be based on the number of | ||||||
14 | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by the | ||||||
15 | system. | ||||||
16 | (l-1) No member of the General Assembly and no officer or | ||||||
17 | employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept | ||||||
18 | employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a | ||||||
19 | vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system | ||||||
20 | equipment or services to municipalities or counties. No former | ||||||
21 | member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2 | ||||||
22 | years immediately after the termination of service as a member | ||||||
23 | of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or | ||||||
24 | receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that | ||||||
25 | provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or | ||||||
26 | services to municipalities or counties. No former officer or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employee of a municipality or county shall, within a period of | ||||||
2 | 2 years immediately after the termination of municipal or | ||||||
3 | county employment, knowingly accept employment or receive | ||||||
4 | compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides | ||||||
5 | automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services | ||||||
6 | to municipalities or counties. | ||||||
7 | (m) This Section applies only to the counties of Cook, | ||||||
8 | DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair, and Will and | ||||||
9 | to municipalities located within those counties. | ||||||
10 | (n) The fee for participating in a traffic education | ||||||
11 | program under this Section shall not exceed $25. | ||||||
12 | A low-income individual required to complete a traffic | ||||||
13 | education program under this Section who provides proof of | ||||||
14 | eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under | ||||||
15 | Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned | ||||||
16 | income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax | ||||||
17 | Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a | ||||||
18 | required traffic education program. | ||||||
19 | (o) (Blank). | ||||||
20 | (o-1) A municipality or county shall make a certified | ||||||
21 | report to the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5-1 | ||||||
22 | of this Code whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has | ||||||
23 | failed to pay any fine or penalty due and owing as a result of | ||||||
24 | a combination of 5 offenses for automated traffic law or speed | ||||||
25 | enforcement system violations. | ||||||
26 | (p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated | ||||||
2 | speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving | ||||||
3 | such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided | ||||||
4 | that upon the request of the appropriate authority received | ||||||
5 | within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor | ||||||
6 | provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and | ||||||
7 | address of the lessee. The driver's license number of a lessee | ||||||
8 | may be subsequently individually requested by the appropriate | ||||||
9 | authority if needed for enforcement of this Section. | ||||||
10 | Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant | ||||||
11 | to this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the | ||||||
12 | violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it | ||||||
13 | would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle | ||||||
14 | pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for | ||||||
15 | the violation. | ||||||
16 | (q) If a county or municipality selects a new vendor for | ||||||
17 | its automated traffic law enforcement system and must, as a | ||||||
18 | consequence, apply for a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
19 | authorization from the Department for reinstallation of one or | ||||||
20 | more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the | ||||||
21 | time of the application for the permit, approval, or other | ||||||
22 | authorization, the new vendor operates an automated traffic | ||||||
23 | law enforcement system for any other county or municipality in | ||||||
24 | the State, then the Department shall approve or deny the | ||||||
25 | county or municipality's application for the permit, approval, | ||||||
26 | or other authorization within 90 days after its receipt. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (r) The Department may revoke any permit, approval, or | ||||||
2 | other authorization granted to a county or municipality for | ||||||
3 | the placement, installation, or operation of an automated | ||||||
4 | traffic law enforcement system if any official or employee who | ||||||
5 | serves that county or municipality is charged with bribery, | ||||||
6 | official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the | ||||||
7 | placement, installation, or operation of the automated traffic | ||||||
8 | law enforcement system in the county or municipality. | ||||||
9 | The Department shall adopt any rules necessary to | ||||||
10 | implement and administer this subsection. The rules adopted by | ||||||
11 | the Department shall describe the revocation process, shall | ||||||
12 | ensure that notice of the revocation is provided, and shall | ||||||
13 | provide an opportunity to appeal the revocation. Any county or | ||||||
14 | municipality that has a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
15 | authorization revoked under this subsection may not reapply | ||||||
16 | for such a permit, approval, or other authorization for a | ||||||
17 | period of one 1 year after the revocation. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 11-208.8. Automated speed enforcement systems in | ||||||
3 | safety zones. | ||||||
4 | (a) As used in this Section: | ||||||
5 | "Automated speed enforcement system" means a photographic | ||||||
6 | device, radar device, laser device, or other electrical or | ||||||
7 | mechanical device or devices installed or utilized in a safety | ||||||
8 | zone and designed to record the speed of a vehicle and obtain a | ||||||
9 | clear photograph or other recorded image of the vehicle and | ||||||
10 | the vehicle's registration plate or digital registration plate | ||||||
11 | while the driver is violating Article VI of Chapter 11 of this | ||||||
12 | Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance. | ||||||
13 | An automated speed enforcement system is a system, located | ||||||
14 | in a safety zone which is under the jurisdiction of a | ||||||
15 | municipality, that produces a recorded image of a motor | ||||||
16 | vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a local | ||||||
17 | ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of | ||||||
18 | the vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The recorded | ||||||
19 | image must also display the time, date, and location of the | ||||||
20 | violation. | ||||||
21 | "Owner" means the person or entity to whom the vehicle is | ||||||
22 | registered. | ||||||
23 | "Recorded image" means images recorded by an automated | ||||||
24 | speed enforcement system on: | ||||||
25 | (1) 2 or more photographs; | ||||||
26 | (2) 2 or more microphotographs; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) 2 or more electronic images; or | ||||||
2 | (4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and, | ||||||
3 | on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly | ||||||
4 | identifying the registration plate or digital registration | ||||||
5 | plate number of the motor vehicle. | ||||||
6 | "Safety zone" means an area that is within one-eighth of a | ||||||
7 | mile from the nearest property line of any public or private | ||||||
8 | elementary or secondary school, or from the nearest property | ||||||
9 | line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district | ||||||
10 | that is used for educational purposes approved by the Illinois | ||||||
11 | State Board of Education, not including school district | ||||||
12 | headquarters or administrative buildings. A safety zone also | ||||||
13 | includes an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the | ||||||
14 | nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a | ||||||
15 | park district used for recreational purposes. However, if any | ||||||
16 | portion of a roadway is within either one-eighth mile radius, | ||||||
17 | the safety zone also shall include the roadway extended to the | ||||||
18 | furthest portion of the next furthest intersection. The term | ||||||
19 | "safety zone" does not include any portion of the roadway | ||||||
20 | known as Lake Shore Drive or any controlled access highway | ||||||
21 | with 8 or more lanes of traffic. | ||||||
22 | (a-5) The automated speed enforcement system shall be | ||||||

1 | only on school days and no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later | ||||||
2 | than 8:30 p.m. if the school day is during the period of | ||||||
3 | Monday through Thursday, or 9 p.m. if the school day is a | ||||||
4 | Friday; and | ||||||
5 | (ii) if the safety zone is based upon the property | ||||||
6 | line of any facility, area, or land owned by a park | ||||||
7 | district, no earlier than one hour prior to the time that | ||||||
8 | the facility, area, or land is open to the public or other | ||||||
9 | patrons, and no later than one hour after the facility, | ||||||
10 | area, or land is closed to the public or other patrons. | ||||||
11 | (b) A municipality that produces a recorded image of a | ||||||
12 | motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a | ||||||
13 | local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation | ||||||
14 | accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged | ||||||
15 | violator with a website address, accessible through the | ||||||
16 | Internet. | ||||||
17 | (c) Notwithstanding any penalties for any other violations | ||||||
18 | of this Code, the owner of a motor vehicle used in a traffic | ||||||
19 | violation recorded by an automated speed enforcement system | ||||||
20 | shall be subject to the following penalties: | ||||||
21 | (1) if the recorded speed is no less than 6 miles per | ||||||
22 | hour and no more than 10 miles per hour over the legal | ||||||
23 | speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $50, plus an | ||||||
24 | additional penalty of not more than $50 for failure to pay | ||||||
25 | the original penalty in a timely manner; or | ||||||
26 | (2) if the recorded speed is more than 10 miles per |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hour over the legal speed limit, a civil penalty not | ||||||
2 | exceeding $100, plus an additional penalty of not more | ||||||
3 | than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a | ||||||
4 | timely manner. | ||||||
5 | A penalty may not be imposed under this Section if the | ||||||
6 | driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic | ||||||
7 | Citation from a police officer for a speeding violation | ||||||
8 | occurring within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the | ||||||
9 | violation that was recorded by the system. A violation for | ||||||
10 | which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a | ||||||
11 | violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of | ||||||
12 | vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the | ||||||
13 | owner of the vehicle. A law enforcement officer is not | ||||||
14 | required to be present or to witness the violation. No penalty | ||||||
15 | may be imposed under this Section if the recorded speed of a | ||||||
16 | vehicle is 5 miles per hour or less over the legal speed limit. | ||||||
17 | The municipality may send, in the same manner that notices are | ||||||
18 | sent under this Section, a speed violation warning notice | ||||||
19 | where the violation involves a speed of 5 miles per hour or | ||||||
20 | less above the legal speed limit. | ||||||
21 | (d) The net proceeds that a municipality receives from | ||||||
22 | civil penalties imposed under an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
23 | system, after deducting all non-personnel and personnel costs | ||||||
24 | associated with the operation and maintenance of such system, | ||||||
25 | shall be expended or obligated by the municipality for the | ||||||
26 | following purposes: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) public safety initiatives to ensure safe passage | ||||||
2 | around schools, and to provide police protection and | ||||||
3 | surveillance around schools and parks, including but not | ||||||
4 | limited to: (1) personnel costs; and (2) non-personnel | ||||||
5 | costs such as construction and maintenance of public | ||||||
6 | safety infrastructure and equipment; | ||||||
7 | (ii) initiatives to improve pedestrian and traffic | ||||||
8 | safety; | ||||||
9 | (iii) construction and maintenance of infrastructure | ||||||
10 | within the municipality, including but not limited to | ||||||
11 | roads and bridges; and | ||||||
12 | (iv) after school programs. | ||||||
13 | (e) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a | ||||||
14 | local ordinance recorded by an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
15 | system, the municipality having jurisdiction shall issue a | ||||||
16 | written notice of the violation to the registered owner of the | ||||||
17 | vehicle as the alleged violator. The notice shall be delivered | ||||||
18 | to the registered owner of the vehicle, by mail, within 30 days | ||||||
19 | after the Secretary of State notifies the municipality of the | ||||||
20 | identity of the owner of the vehicle, but in no event later | ||||||
21 | than 90 days after the violation. | ||||||
22 | (f) The notice required under subsection (e) of this | ||||||
23 | Section shall include: | ||||||
24 | (1) the name and address of the registered owner of | ||||||
25 | the vehicle; | ||||||
26 | (2) the registration number of the motor vehicle |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | involved in the violation; | ||||||
2 | (3) the violation charged; | ||||||
3 | (4) the date, time, and location where the violation | ||||||
4 | occurred; | ||||||
5 | (5) a copy of the recorded image or images; | ||||||
6 | (6) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the | ||||||
7 | date by which the civil penalty should be paid; | ||||||
8 | (7) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a | ||||||
9 | violation of a speed restriction; | ||||||
10 | (8) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty or | ||||||
11 | to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of | ||||||
12 | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving | ||||||
13 | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle ; | ||||||
14 | (9) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | ||||||
15 | by: | ||||||
16 | (A) paying the fine; or | ||||||
17 | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or | ||||||
18 | by administrative hearing; and | ||||||
19 | (10) a website address, accessible through the | ||||||
20 | Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of | ||||||
21 | the violation. | ||||||
22 | (g) (Blank). | ||||||
23 | (g-1) If a person charged with a traffic violation, as a | ||||||
24 | result of an automated speed enforcement system, does not pay | ||||||
25 | the fine or successfully contest the civil penalty resulting | ||||||
26 | from that violation, the Secretary of State shall suspend the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driving privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle | ||||||
2 | under Section 6-306.5-1 of this Code for failing to pay any | ||||||
3 | fine or penalty due and owing, or both, as a result of a | ||||||
4 | combination of 5 violations of the automated speed enforcement | ||||||
5 | system or the automated traffic law under Section 11-208.6 of | ||||||
6 | this Code. | ||||||
7 | (h) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an | ||||||
8 | automated speed enforcement system, a notice alleging that the | ||||||
9 | violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained in | ||||||
10 | the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a | ||||||
11 | violation under this Section. | ||||||
12 | (i) Recorded images made by an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
13 | system are confidential and shall be made available only to | ||||||
14 | the alleged violator and governmental and law enforcement | ||||||
15 | agencies for purposes of adjudicating a violation of this | ||||||
16 | Section, for statistical purposes, or for other governmental | ||||||
17 | purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a violation of this | ||||||
18 | Section, however, may be admissible in any proceeding | ||||||
19 | resulting from the issuance of the citation. | ||||||
20 | (j) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense | ||||||
21 | of a violation: | ||||||
22 | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or | ||||||
23 | digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were | ||||||
24 | stolen before the violation occurred and not under the | ||||||
25 | control or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the | ||||||
26 | time of the violation; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the | ||||||
2 | violation occurred and not under the control of or in the | ||||||
3 | possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the | ||||||
4 | violation; | ||||||
5 | (2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a | ||||||
6 | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a | ||||||
7 | speeding violation occurring within one-eighth of a mile | ||||||
8 | and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded by the | ||||||
9 | system; and | ||||||
10 | (3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | ||||||
11 | ordinance. | ||||||
12 | (k) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or | ||||||
13 | the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital | ||||||
14 | registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred | ||||||
15 | and were not under the control or possession of the owner or | ||||||
16 | lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must | ||||||
17 | submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or | ||||||
18 | registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in | ||||||
19 | a timely manner. | ||||||
20 | (l) A roadway equipped with an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
21 | system shall be posted with a sign conforming to the national | ||||||
22 | Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that is visible to | ||||||
23 | approaching traffic stating that vehicle speeds are being | ||||||
24 | photo-enforced and indicating the speed limit. The | ||||||
25 | municipality shall install such additional signage as it | ||||||
26 | determines is necessary to give reasonable notice to drivers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as to where automated speed enforcement systems are installed. | ||||||
2 | (m) A roadway where a new automated speed enforcement | ||||||
3 | system is installed shall be posted with signs providing 30 | ||||||
4 | days notice of the use of a new automated speed enforcement | ||||||
5 | system prior to the issuance of any citations through the | ||||||
6 | automated speed enforcement system. | ||||||
7 | (n) The compensation paid for an automated speed | ||||||
8 | enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment | ||||||
9 | or the services provided and may not be based on the number of | ||||||
10 | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by the | ||||||
11 | system. | ||||||
12 | (n-1) No member of the General Assembly and no officer or | ||||||
13 | employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept | ||||||
14 | employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a | ||||||
15 | vendor that provides automated speed enforcement system | ||||||
16 | equipment or services to municipalities or counties. No former | ||||||
17 | member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2 | ||||||
18 | years immediately after the termination of service as a member | ||||||
19 | of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or | ||||||
20 | receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that | ||||||
21 | provides automated speed enforcement system equipment or | ||||||
22 | services to municipalities or counties. No former officer or | ||||||
23 | employee of a municipality or county shall, within a period of | ||||||
24 | 2 years immediately after the termination of municipal or | ||||||
25 | county employment, knowingly accept employment or receive | ||||||
26 | compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | automated speed enforcement system equipment or services to | ||||||
2 | municipalities or counties. | ||||||
3 | (o) (Blank). | ||||||
4 | (o-1) A municipality shall make a certified report to the | ||||||
5 | Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5-1 of this Code | ||||||
6 | whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has failed to pay any | ||||||
7 | fine or penalty due and owing as a result of a combination of 5 | ||||||
8 | offenses for automated speed or traffic law enforcement system | ||||||
9 | violations. | ||||||
10 | (p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant | ||||||
11 | to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated | ||||||
12 | speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving | ||||||
13 | such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided | ||||||
14 | that upon the request of the appropriate authority received | ||||||
15 | within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor | ||||||
16 | provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and | ||||||
17 | address of the lessee. The driver's drivers license number of | ||||||
18 | a lessee may be subsequently individually requested by the | ||||||
19 | appropriate authority if needed for enforcement of this | ||||||
20 | Section. | ||||||
21 | Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant | ||||||
22 | to this subsection, the municipality may issue the violation | ||||||
23 | to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it would | ||||||
24 | issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle pursuant | ||||||
25 | to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for the | ||||||
26 | violation. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (q) A municipality using an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
2 | system must provide notice to drivers by publishing the | ||||||
3 | locations of all safety zones where system equipment is | ||||||
4 | installed on the website of the municipality. | ||||||
5 | (r) A municipality operating an automated speed | ||||||
6 | enforcement system shall conduct a statistical analysis to | ||||||
7 | assess the safety impact of the system following installation | ||||||
8 | of the system and every 2 years thereafter. A municipality | ||||||
9 | operating an automated speed enforcement system before the | ||||||
10 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General | ||||||
11 | Assembly shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the | ||||||
12 | safety impact of the system by no later than one year after the | ||||||
13 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General | ||||||
14 | Assembly and every 2 years thereafter. Each statistical | ||||||
15 | analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, | ||||||
16 | traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time | ||||||
17 | before and after installation of the system sufficient to | ||||||
18 | provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact. | ||||||
19 | Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with | ||||||
20 | professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each | ||||||
21 | statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data | ||||||
22 | required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions | ||||||
23 | and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following | ||||||
24 | the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
25 | system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection | ||||||
26 | shall be made available to the public and shall be published on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the website of the municipality. | ||||||
2 | (s) This Section applies only to municipalities with a | ||||||
3 | population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants. | ||||||
4 | (t) If a county or municipality selects a new vendor for | ||||||
5 | its automated speed enforcement system and must, as a | ||||||
6 | consequence, apply for a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
7 | authorization from the Department for reinstallation of one or | ||||||
8 | more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the | ||||||
9 | time of the application for the permit, approval, or other | ||||||
10 | authorization, the new vendor operates an automated speed | ||||||
11 | enforcement system for any other county or municipality in the | ||||||
12 | State, then the Department shall approve or deny the county or | ||||||
13 | municipality's application for the permit, approval, or other | ||||||
14 | authorization within 90 days after its receipt. | ||||||
15 | (u) The Department may revoke any permit, approval, or | ||||||
16 | other authorization granted to a county or municipality for | ||||||
17 | the placement, installation, or operation of an automated | ||||||
18 | speed enforcement system if any official or employee who | ||||||
19 | serves that county or municipality is charged with bribery, | ||||||
20 | official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the | ||||||
21 | placement, installation, or operation of the automated speed | ||||||
22 | enforcement system in the county or municipality. | ||||||
23 | The Department shall adopt any rules necessary to | ||||||
24 | implement and administer this subsection. The rules adopted by | ||||||
25 | the Department shall describe the revocation process, shall | ||||||
26 | ensure that notice of the revocation is provided, and shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provide an opportunity to appeal the revocation. Any county or | ||||||
2 | municipality that has a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
3 | authorization revoked under this subsection may not reapply | ||||||
4 | for such a permit, approval, or other authorization for a | ||||||
5 | period of 1 year after the revocation. | ||||||

10 | (a) As used in this Section, "automated traffic law | ||||||
11 | enforcement system" means a device with one or more motor | ||||||
12 | vehicle sensors working in conjunction with the visual signals | ||||||
13 | on a school bus, as specified in Sections 12-803 and 12-805 of | ||||||
14 | this Code, to produce recorded images of motor vehicles that | ||||||
15 | fail to stop before meeting or overtaking, from either | ||||||
16 | direction, any school bus stopped at any location for the | ||||||
17 | purpose of receiving or discharging pupils in violation of | ||||||
18 | Section 11-1414 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
19 | ordinance. | ||||||
20 | An automated traffic law enforcement system is a system, | ||||||

12 | (c) A municipality or county that produces a recorded | ||||||
13 | image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this | ||||||
14 | Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a | ||||||
15 | violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the | ||||||
16 | alleged violator with a website address, accessible through | ||||||
17 | the Internet. | ||||||
18 | (d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a | ||||||
19 | local ordinance recorded by an automated traffic law | ||||||
20 | enforcement system, the county or municipality having | ||||||
21 | jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the violation to | ||||||
22 | the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator. | ||||||

14 | (8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a | ||||||
15 | violation of overtaking or passing a school bus stopped | ||||||
16 | for the purpose of receiving or discharging pupils; | ||||||
17 | (9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty or | ||||||
18 | to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of | ||||||
19 | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving | ||||||
20 | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle ; | ||||||
21 | (10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | ||||||
22 | by: | ||||||
23 | (A) paying the fine; or | ||||||
24 | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or | ||||||

12 | traffic law enforcement system or the automated speed | ||||||
13 | enforcement system under Section 11-208.8 of this Code. | ||||||
14 | (g) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an | ||||||
15 | automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging | ||||||
16 | that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts | ||||||
17 | contained in the notice and admissible in any proceeding | ||||||
18 | alleging a violation under this Section. | ||||||
19 | (h) Recorded images made by an automated traffic law | ||||||
20 | enforcement system are confidential and shall be made | ||||||
21 | available only to the alleged violator and governmental and | ||||||
22 | law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a | ||||||
23 | violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for | ||||||
24 | other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a | ||||||
25 | violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in any | ||||||
26 | proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense | ||||||
2 | of a violation: | ||||||
3 | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or | ||||||
4 | digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were | ||||||
5 | stolen before the violation occurred and not under the | ||||||
6 | control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at | ||||||
7 | the time of the violation; | ||||||
8 | (1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the | ||||||
9 | violation occurred and not under the control of or in the | ||||||
10 | possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the | ||||||
11 | violation; | ||||||
12 | (2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a | ||||||
13 | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a | ||||||
14 | violation of Section 11-1414 of this Code within | ||||||
15 | one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that | ||||||
16 | was recorded by the system; | ||||||
17 | (3) that the visual signals required by Sections | ||||||
18 | 12-803 and 12-805 of this Code were damaged, not | ||||||
19 | activated, not present in violation of Sections 12-803 and | ||||||
20 | 12-805, or inoperable; and | ||||||
21 | (4) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | ||||||
22 | or county ordinance. | ||||||
23 | (j) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or | ||||||
24 | the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital | ||||||
25 | registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred | ||||||
26 | and were not under the control or possession of the owner or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must | ||||||
2 | submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or | ||||||

6 | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of | ||||||
7 | the violation, the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil | ||||||
8 | penalty not exceeding $150 for a first time violation or $500 | ||||||
9 | for a second or subsequent violation, plus an additional | ||||||
10 | penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original | ||||||
11 | penalty in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by | ||||||
12 | an automated traffic law enforcement system. A violation for | ||||||
13 | which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a | ||||||
14 | violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of | ||||||
15 | vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the | ||||||
16 | owner of the vehicle, but may be recorded by the municipality | ||||||
17 | or county for the purpose of determining if a person is subject | ||||||
18 | to the higher fine for a second or subsequent offense. | ||||||
19 | (l) A school bus equipped with an automated traffic law | ||||||
20 | enforcement system must be posted with a sign indicating that | ||||||
21 | the school bus is being monitored by an automated traffic law | ||||||
22 | enforcement system. | ||||||
23 | (m) A municipality or county that has one or more school | ||||||
24 | buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
25 | system must provide notice to drivers by posting a list of | ||||||
26 | school districts using school buses equipped with an automated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | traffic law enforcement system on the municipality or county | ||||||
2 | website. School districts that have one or more school buses | ||||||
3 | equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system must | ||||||
4 | provide notice to drivers by posting that information on their | ||||||
5 | websites. | ||||||
6 | (n) A municipality or county operating an automated | ||||||
7 | traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical | ||||||
8 | analysis to assess the safety impact in each school district | ||||||
9 | using school buses equipped with an automated traffic law | ||||||
10 | enforcement system following installation of the system and | ||||||
11 | every 2 years thereafter. A municipality or county operating | ||||||
12 | an automated speed enforcement system before the effective | ||||||
13 | date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly | ||||||
14 | shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the safety | ||||||
15 | impact of the system by no later than one year after the | ||||||
16 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General | ||||||
17 | Assembly and every 2 years thereafter. Each statistical | ||||||
18 | analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, | ||||||
19 | traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time | ||||||
20 | before and after installation of the system sufficient to | ||||||
21 | provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact. | ||||||
22 | Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with | ||||||
23 | professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each | ||||||
24 | statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data | ||||||
25 | required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions | ||||||
26 | and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
2 | system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection | ||||||
3 | shall be made available to the public and shall be published on | ||||||
4 | the website of the municipality or county. If a statistical | ||||||
5 | analysis indicates that there has been an increase in the rate | ||||||
6 | of crashes at the approach to school buses monitored by the | ||||||
7 | system, the municipality or county shall undertake additional | ||||||
8 | studies to determine the cause and severity of the crashes, | ||||||
9 | and may take any action that it determines is necessary or | ||||||
10 | appropriate to reduce the number or severity of the crashes | ||||||
11 | involving school buses equipped with an automated traffic law | ||||||
12 | enforcement system. | ||||||
13 | (o) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law | ||||||
14 | enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment | ||||||
15 | or the services provided and may not be based on the number of | ||||||
16 | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by the | ||||||
17 | system. | ||||||
18 | (o-1) No member of the General Assembly and no officer or | ||||||
19 | employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept | ||||||
20 | employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a | ||||||
21 | vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system | ||||||
22 | equipment or services to municipalities or counties. No former | ||||||
23 | member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2 | ||||||
24 | years immediately after the termination of service as a member | ||||||
25 | of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or | ||||||
26 | receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or | ||||||
2 | services to municipalities or counties. No former officer or | ||||||
3 | employee of a municipality or county shall, within a period of | ||||||
4 | 2 years immediately after the termination of municipal or | ||||||
5 | county employment, knowingly accept employment or receive | ||||||
6 | compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides | ||||||
7 | automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services | ||||||
8 | to municipalities or counties. | ||||||
9 | (p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant | ||||||
10 | to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated | ||||||
11 | speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving | ||||||
12 | such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided | ||||||
13 | that upon the request of the appropriate authority received | ||||||
14 | within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor | ||||||
15 | provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and | ||||||
16 | address of the lessee. The driver's license number of a lessee | ||||||
17 | may be subsequently individually requested by the appropriate | ||||||
18 | authority if needed for enforcement of this Section. | ||||||
19 | Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant | ||||||
20 | to this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the | ||||||
21 | violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it | ||||||
22 | would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle | ||||||
23 | pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for | ||||||
24 | the violation. | ||||||
25 | (q) (Blank). | ||||||
26 | (q-1) A municipality or county shall make a certified |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | report to the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5-1 | ||||||
2 | of this Code whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has | ||||||
3 | failed to pay any fine or penalty due and owing as a result of | ||||||
4 | a combination of 5 offenses for automated traffic law or speed | ||||||
5 | enforcement system violations. | ||||||
6 | (r) After a municipality or county enacts an ordinance | ||||||
7 | providing for automated traffic law enforcement systems under | ||||||
8 | this Section, each school district within that municipality or | ||||||
9 | county's jurisdiction may implement an automated traffic law | ||||||
10 | enforcement system under this Section. The elected school | ||||||
11 | board for that district must approve the implementation of an | ||||||
12 | automated traffic law enforcement system. The school district | ||||||
13 | shall be responsible for entering into a contract, approved by | ||||||
14 | the elected school board of that district, with vendors for | ||||||
15 | the installation, maintenance, and operation of the automated | ||||||
16 | traffic law enforcement system. The school district must enter | ||||||
17 | into an intergovernmental agreement, approved by the elected | ||||||
18 | school board of that district, with the municipality or county | ||||||
19 | with jurisdiction over that school district for the | ||||||
20 | administration of the automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
21 | system. The proceeds from a school district's automated | ||||||
22 | traffic law enforcement system's fines shall be divided | ||||||
23 | equally between the school district and the municipality or | ||||||
24 | county administering the automated traffic law enforcement | ||||||
25 | system. | ||||||
26 | (s) If a county or municipality changes the vendor it uses |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for its automated traffic law enforcement system and must, as | ||||||
2 | a consequence, apply for a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
3 | authorization from the Department for reinstallation of one or | ||||||
4 | more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the | ||||||
5 | time of the application, the new vendor operates an automated | ||||||
6 | traffic law enforcement system for any other county or | ||||||
7 | municipality in the State, then the Department shall approve | ||||||
8 | or deny the county or municipality's application for that | ||||||
9 | permit, approval, or other authorization within 90 days after | ||||||
10 | its receipt. | ||||||
11 | (t) The Department may revoke any permit, approval, or | ||||||
12 | other authorization granted to a county or municipality for | ||||||
13 | the placement, installation, or operation of an automated | ||||||
14 | traffic law enforcement system if any official or employee who | ||||||
15 | serves that county or municipality is charged with bribery, | ||||||
16 | official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the | ||||||
17 | placement, installation, or operation of the automated traffic | ||||||
18 | law enforcement system in the county or municipality. | ||||||
19 | The Department shall adopt any rules necessary to | ||||||
20 | implement and administer this subsection. The rules adopted by | ||||||
21 | the Department shall describe the revocation process, shall | ||||||
22 | ensure that notice of the revocation is provided, and shall | ||||||
23 | provide an opportunity to appeal the revocation. Any county or | ||||||
24 | municipality that has a permit, approval, or other | ||||||
25 | authorization revoked under this subsection may not reapply | ||||||
26 | for such a permit, approval, or other authorization for a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | period of 1 year after the revocation. | ||||||

5 | Sec. 11-1201.1. Automated railroad crossing enforcement | ||||||
6 | system. | ||||||
7 | (a) For the purposes of this Section, an automated | ||||||
8 | railroad grade crossing enforcement system is a system in a | ||||||
9 | municipality or county operated by a governmental agency that | ||||||
10 | produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation of a | ||||||
11 | provision of this Code or local ordinance and is designed to | ||||||
12 | obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and vehicle's | ||||||
13 | license plate. The recorded image must also display the time, | ||||||
14 | date, and location of the violation. | ||||||
15 | As used in this Section, "recorded images" means images | ||||||
16 | recorded by an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement | ||||||
17 | system on: | ||||||
18 | (1) 2 or more photographs; | ||||||
19 | (2) 2 or more microphotographs; | ||||||
20 | (3) 2 or more electronic images; or | ||||||
21 | (4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and, | ||||||
22 | on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly | ||||||
23 | identifying the registration plate or digital registration | ||||||
24 | plate number of the motor vehicle. | ||||||
25 | (b) The Illinois Commerce Commission may, in cooperation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with a local law enforcement agency, establish in any county | ||||||
2 | or municipality an automated railroad grade crossing | ||||||
3 | enforcement system at any railroad grade crossing equipped | ||||||
4 | with a crossing gate designated by local authorities. Local | ||||||
5 | authorities desiring the establishment of an automated | ||||||
6 | railroad crossing enforcement system must initiate the process | ||||||
7 | by enacting a local ordinance requesting the creation of such | ||||||
8 | a system. After the ordinance has been enacted, and before any | ||||||
9 | additional steps toward the establishment of the system are | ||||||
10 | undertaken, the local authorities and the Commission must | ||||||
11 | agree to a plan for obtaining, from any combination of | ||||||
12 | federal, State, and local funding sources, the moneys required | ||||||
13 | for the purchase and installation of any necessary equipment. | ||||||
14 | (b-1) (Blank). | ||||||
15 | (c) For each violation of Section 11-1201 of this Code or a | ||||||
16 | local ordinance recorded by an automated railroad grade | ||||||
17 | crossing enforcement system, the county or municipality having | ||||||
18 | jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the violation to | ||||||
19 | the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator. | ||||||
20 | The notice shall be delivered to the registered owner of the | ||||||
21 | vehicle, by mail, no later than 90 days after the violation. | ||||||
22 | The notice shall include: | ||||||
23 | (1) the name and address of the registered owner of | ||||||
24 | the vehicle; | ||||||
25 | (2) the registration number of the motor vehicle | ||||||
26 | involved in the violation; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) the violation charged; | ||||||
2 | (4) the location where the violation occurred; | ||||||
3 | (5) the date and time of the violation; | ||||||
4 | (6) a copy of the recorded images; | ||||||
5 | (7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the | ||||||
6 | date by which the civil penalty should be paid; | ||||||
7 | (8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a | ||||||
8 | violation of a railroad grade crossing; | ||||||
9 | (9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty or | ||||||
10 | to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of | ||||||
11 | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving | ||||||
12 | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle ; and | ||||||
13 | (10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | ||||||
14 | by: | ||||||
15 | (A) paying the fine; or | ||||||
16 | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or | ||||||
17 | by administrative hearing. | ||||||
18 | (d) (Blank). | ||||||
19 | (d-1) (Blank). | ||||||
20 | (d-2) (Blank). | ||||||
21 | (d-3) If a person charged with a traffic violation, as a | ||||||
22 | result of an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement | ||||||
23 | system, does not pay or successfully contest the civil penalty | ||||||
24 | resulting from that violation, the Secretary of State shall | ||||||
25 | suspend the driving privileges of the registered owner of the | ||||||
26 | vehicle under Section 6-306.5-1 of this Code for failing to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pay any fine or penalty due and owing as a result of 5 | ||||||
2 | violations of the automated railroad grade crossing | ||||||
3 | enforcement system. | ||||||
4 | (e) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an | ||||||
5 | automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system, a notice | ||||||
6 | alleging that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the | ||||||
7 | facts contained in the notice and admissible in any proceeding | ||||||
8 | alleging a violation under this Section. | ||||||
9 | (e-1) Recorded images made by an automated railroad grade | ||||||
10 | crossing enforcement system are confidential and shall be made | ||||||
11 | available only to the alleged violator and governmental and | ||||||
12 | law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a | ||||||
13 | violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for | ||||||
14 | other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a | ||||||
15 | violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in any | ||||||
16 | proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation. | ||||||
17 | (e-2) The court or hearing officer may consider the | ||||||
18 | following in the defense of a violation: | ||||||
19 | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or | ||||||
20 | digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were | ||||||
21 | stolen before the violation occurred and not under the | ||||||
22 | control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at | ||||||
23 | the time of the violation; | ||||||
24 | (1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the | ||||||
25 | violation occurred and not under the control of or in the | ||||||
26 | possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violation; | ||||||
2 | (2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a | ||||||
3 | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time | ||||||
4 | of the violation for the same offense; | ||||||
5 | (3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | ||||||
6 | or county ordinance. | ||||||
7 | (e-3) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked | ||||||
8 | or the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital | ||||||
9 | registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred | ||||||
10 | and were not under the control or possession of the owner or | ||||||
11 | lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must | ||||||
12 | submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or | ||||||
13 | registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in | ||||||
14 | a timely manner. | ||||||
15 | (f) Rail crossings equipped with an automatic railroad | ||||||
16 | grade crossing enforcement system shall be posted with a sign | ||||||
17 | visible to approaching traffic stating that the railroad grade | ||||||
18 | crossing is being monitored, that citations will be issued, | ||||||
19 | and the amount of the fine for violation. | ||||||
20 | (g) The compensation paid for an automated railroad grade | ||||||
21 | crossing enforcement system must be based on the value of the | ||||||
22 | equipment or the services provided and may not be based on the | ||||||
23 | number of citations issued or the revenue generated by the | ||||||
24 | system. | ||||||
25 | (h) (Blank). | ||||||
26 | (i) If any part or parts of this Section are held by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, the | ||||||
2 | unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of the | ||||||
3 | remaining parts of this Section. The General Assembly hereby | ||||||
4 | declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this | ||||||
5 | Section if it had known that the other part or parts of this | ||||||
6 | Section would be declared unconstitutional. | ||||||
7 | (j) Penalty. A civil fine of $250 shall be imposed for a | ||||||
8 | first violation of this Section, and a civil fine of $500 shall | ||||||
9 | be imposed for a second or subsequent violation of this | ||||||
10 | Section. | ||||||

17 | Sec. 4-214.2. Failure to pay fines, charges, and costs on | ||||||
18 | an abandoned vehicle. | ||||||
19 | (a) Whenever any resident of this State fails to pay any | ||||||
20 | fine, charge, or cost imposed for a violation of Section 4-201 | ||||||
21 | of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the | ||||||
22 | clerk shall notify the Secretary of State, on a report | ||||||
23 | prescribed by the Secretary, and the Secretary shall prohibit | ||||||
24 | the renewal, reissue, or reinstatement of the resident's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driving privileges until the fine, charge, or cost has been | ||||||
2 | paid in full. The clerk shall provide notice to the owner, at | ||||||
3 | the owner's last known address as shown on the court's | ||||||
4 | records, stating that the action will be effective on the 46th | ||||||
5 | day following the date of the above notice if payment is not | ||||||
6 | received in full by the court of venue. | ||||||
7 | (b) Following receipt of the report from the clerk, the | ||||||
8 | Secretary of State shall make the proper notation to the | ||||||
9 | owner's file to prohibit the renewal, reissue, or | ||||||
10 | reinstatement of the owner's driving privileges. Except as | ||||||
11 | provided in subsection (d) of this Section, the notation shall | ||||||
12 | not be removed from the owner's record until the owner | ||||||
13 | satisfies the outstanding fine, charge, or cost and an | ||||||
14 | appropriate notice on a form prescribed by the Secretary is | ||||||
15 | received by the Secretary from the court of venue, stating | ||||||
16 | that the fine, charge, or cost has been paid in full. Upon | ||||||
17 | payment in full of a fine, charge, or court cost which has | ||||||
18 | previously been reported under this Section as unpaid, the | ||||||
19 | clerk of the court shall present the owner with a signed | ||||||
20 | receipt containing the seal of the court indicating that the | ||||||
21 | fine, charge, or cost has been paid in full, and shall forward | ||||||
22 | immediately to the Secretary of State a notice stating that | ||||||
23 | the fine, charge, or cost has been paid in full. | ||||||
24 | (c) Notwithstanding the receipt of a report from the clerk | ||||||
25 | as prescribed in subsection (a), nothing in this Section is | ||||||
26 | intended to place any responsibility upon the Secretary of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State to provide independent notice to the owner of any | ||||||
2 | potential action to disallow the renewal, reissue, or | ||||||
3 | reinstatement of the owner's driving privileges. | ||||||
4 | (d) The Secretary of State shall renew, reissue, or | ||||||
5 | reinstate an owner's driving privileges which were previously | ||||||
6 | refused under this Section upon presentation of an original | ||||||
7 | receipt which is signed by the clerk of the court and contains | ||||||
8 | the seal of the court indicating that the fine, charge, or cost | ||||||
9 | has been paid in full. The Secretary of State shall retain the | ||||||
10 | receipt for his or her records.

21 | present danger to the safety of the public or law enforcement | ||||||
22 | officers. The information provided under this subsection (F) | ||||||
23 | shall remain confidential and shall not be publicly disclosed, | ||||||
24 | except as otherwise allowed by law. | ||||||
25 | (G) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the right of a | ||||||

20 | felony for a second or subsequent violation. | ||||||
21 | (b) Whoever, having been released pretrial under | ||||||
22 | conditions admitted to bail for appearance before any court of | ||||||
23 | this State, while charged with a criminal offense in which the | ||||||
24 | victim is a family or household member as defined in Article | ||||||
25 | 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, knowingly |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | violates a condition of that release as set forth in Section | ||||||
2 | 110-10, subsection (d) of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
3 | 1963, commits a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
4 | (c) Whoever, having been admitted to bail released | ||||||
5 | pretrial for appearance before any court of this State for a | ||||||
6 | felony, Class A misdemeanor or a criminal offense in which the | ||||||
7 | victim is a family or household member as defined in Article | ||||||
8 | 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, is charged with | ||||||
9 | any other felony, Class A misdemeanor, or a criminal offense | ||||||
10 | in which the victim is a family or household member as defined | ||||||
11 | in Article 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 while | ||||||

13 | statutorily set and may not be released by law enforcement | ||||||
14 | under 109-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 prior to | ||||||
15 | the court appearance . | ||||||
16 | (d) Nothing in this Section shall interfere with or | ||||||
17 | prevent the exercise by any court of its power to punish for | ||||||
18 | contempt. Any sentence imposed for violation of this Section | ||||||
19 | shall may be served consecutive to the sentence imposed for | ||||||
20 | the charge for which bail pretrial release had been granted | ||||||
21 | and with respect to which the defendant has been convicted. | ||||||

23 | Section 2-210. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by | ||||||
24 | changing Sections 7-5, 7-5.5, 7-9, 9-1, and 33-3 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (720 ILCS 5/7-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-5) | ||||||
2 | Sec. 7-5. Peace officer's use of force in making arrest. | ||||||
3 | (a) A peace officer, or any person whom he has summoned or | ||||||
4 | directed to assist him, need not retreat or desist from | ||||||
5 | efforts to make a lawful arrest because of resistance or | ||||||
6 | threatened resistance to the arrest. He is justified in the | ||||||
7 | use of any force which he reasonably believes , based on the | ||||||
8 | totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to effect the | ||||||
9 | arrest and of any force which he reasonably believes , based on | ||||||
10 | the totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to defend | ||||||
11 | himself or another from bodily harm while making the arrest. | ||||||
12 | However, he is justified in using force likely to cause death | ||||||
13 | or great bodily harm only when: (i) he reasonably believes , | ||||||
14 | based on the totality of the circumstances, that such force is | ||||||
15 | necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or | ||||||
16 | such other person; or (ii) when he reasonably believes , based | ||||||
17 | on the totality of the circumstances, both that: | ||||||
18 | (1) Such force is necessary to prevent the arrest from | ||||||
19 | being defeated by resistance or escape and the officer | ||||||
20 | reasonably believes that the person to be arrested is | ||||||
21 | likely to cause great bodily harm to another ; and | ||||||
22 | (2) The person to be arrested committed or attempted a | ||||||
23 | forcible felony which involves the infliction or | ||||||
24 | threatened infliction of great bodily harm or is | ||||||
25 | attempting to escape by use of a deadly weapon, or | ||||||
26 | otherwise indicates that he will endanger human life or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inflict great bodily harm unless arrested without delay. | ||||||
2 | As used in this subsection, "retreat" does not mean | ||||||
3 | tactical repositioning or other de-escalation tactics. | ||||||
4 | A peace officer is not justified in using force likely to | ||||||
5 | cause death or great bodily harm when there is no longer an | ||||||
6 | imminent threat of great bodily harm to the officer or | ||||||
7 | another. | ||||||
8 | (a-5) Where feasible, a peace officer shall, prior to the | ||||||
9 | use of force, make reasonable efforts to identify himself or | ||||||
10 | herself as a peace officer and to warn that deadly force may be | ||||||
11 | used. | ||||||
12 | (a-10) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against | ||||||
13 | a person based on the danger that the person poses to himself | ||||||
14 | or herself if a reasonable officer would believe the person | ||||||
15 | does not pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm | ||||||
16 | to the peace officer or to another person. | ||||||
17 | (a-15) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against | ||||||
18 | a person who is suspected of committing a property offense, | ||||||
19 | unless that offense is terrorism or unless deadly force is | ||||||
20 | otherwise authorized by law. | ||||||
21 | (b) A peace officer making an arrest pursuant to an | ||||||
22 | invalid warrant is justified in the use of any force which he | ||||||
23 | would be justified in using if the warrant were valid, unless | ||||||
24 | he knows that the warrant is invalid. | ||||||
25 | (c) The authority to use physical force conferred on peace | ||||||
26 | officers by this Article is a serious responsibility that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human | ||||||
2 | rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life. | ||||||
3 | (d) Peace officers shall use deadly force only when | ||||||
4 | reasonably necessary in defense of human life. In determining | ||||||
5 | whether deadly force is reasonably necessary, officers shall | ||||||
6 | evaluate each situation in light of the totality of | ||||||
7 | circumstances of each case, including, but not limited to, the | ||||||
8 | proximity in time of the use of force to the commission of a | ||||||
9 | forcible felony, and the reasonable feasibility of safely | ||||||
10 | apprehending a subject at a later time, and shall use other | ||||||
11 | available resources and techniques, if reasonably safe and | ||||||
12 | feasible to a reasonable officer. | ||||||
13 | (e) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be | ||||||
14 | evaluated carefully and thoroughly, in a manner that reflects | ||||||
15 | the gravity of that authority and the serious consequences of | ||||||
16 | the use of force by peace officers, in order to ensure that | ||||||
17 | officers use force consistent with law and agency policies. | ||||||
18 | (f) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be | ||||||
19 | evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the | ||||||
20 | same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances | ||||||
21 | known to or perceived by the officer at the time of the | ||||||
22 | decision, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that | ||||||
23 | the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions | ||||||
24 | when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about | ||||||
25 | using force. | ||||||
26 | (g) Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to adopt and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | develop policies designed to protect individuals with | ||||||
2 | physical, mental health, developmental, or intellectual | ||||||
3 | disabilities, or individuals who are significantly more likely | ||||||
4 | to experience greater levels of physical force during police | ||||||
5 | interactions, as these disabilities may affect the ability of | ||||||
6 | a person to understand or comply with commands from peace | ||||||
7 | officers. | ||||||
8 | (h) As used in this Section: | ||||||
9 | (1) "Deadly force" means any use of force that creates | ||||||
10 | a substantial risk of causing death or great bodily harm, | ||||||
11 | including, but not limited to, the discharge of a firearm. | ||||||
12 | (2) A threat of death or serious bodily injury is | ||||||
13 | "imminent" when, based on the totality of the | ||||||
14 | circumstances, a reasonable officer in the same situation | ||||||
15 | would believe that a person has the present ability, | ||||||
16 | opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately cause | ||||||
17 | death or great bodily harm to the peace officer or another | ||||||
18 | person. An imminent harm is not merely a fear of future | ||||||
19 | harm, no matter how great the fear and no matter how great | ||||||
20 | the likelihood of the harm, but is one that, from | ||||||
21 | appearances, must be instantly confronted and addressed. | ||||||
22 | (3) "Totality of the circumstances" means all facts | ||||||
23 | known to the peace officer at the time, or that would be | ||||||
24 | known to a reasonable officer in the same situation, | ||||||
25 | including the conduct of the officer and the subject | ||||||
26 | leading up to the use of deadly force. |

| ||||||
3 | (720 ILCS 5/7-5.5) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 7-5.5. Prohibited use of force by a peace officer. | ||||||
5 | (a) A peace officer , or any other person acting under the | ||||||
6 | color of law, shall not use a chokehold or restraint above the | ||||||
7 | shoulders with risk of asphyxiation in the performance of his | ||||||
8 | or her duties, unless deadly force is justified under this | ||||||
9 | Article. | ||||||
10 | (b) A peace officer , or any other person acting under the | ||||||
11 | color of law, shall not use a chokehold or restraint above the | ||||||
12 | shoulders with risk of asphyxiation , or any lesser contact | ||||||
13 | with the throat or neck area of another, in order to prevent | ||||||
14 | the destruction of evidence by ingestion. | ||||||
15 | (c) As used in this Section, "chokehold" means applying | ||||||
16 | any direct pressure to the throat, windpipe, or airway of | ||||||
17 | another with the intent to reduce or prevent the intake of air . | ||||||
18 | "Chokehold" does not include any holding involving contact | ||||||
19 | with the neck that is not intended to reduce the intake of air | ||||||
20 | such as a headlock where the only pressure applied is to the | ||||||
21 | head. | ||||||
22 | (d) As used in this Section, "restraint above the | ||||||
23 | shoulders with risk of positional asphyxiation" means a use of | ||||||
24 | a technique used to restrain a person above the shoulders, | ||||||
25 | including the neck or head, in a position which interferes |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with the person's ability to breathe after the person no | ||||||
2 | longer poses a threat to the officer or any other person. | ||||||
3 | (e) A peace officer, or any other person acting under the | ||||||
4 | color of law, shall not: | ||||||
5 | (i) use force as punishment or retaliation; | ||||||
6 | (ii) discharge kinetic impact projectiles and all | ||||||
7 | other non-lethal or less-lethal projectiles in a manner | ||||||
8 | that targets the head, neck, groin, anterior pelvis, or | ||||||
9 | back; | ||||||
10 | (iii) discharge conducted electrical weapons in a | ||||||
11 | manner that targets the head, chest, neck, groin, or | ||||||
12 | anterior pelvis; | ||||||
13 | (iv) discharge firearms or kinetic impact projectiles | ||||||
14 | indiscriminately into a crowd; | ||||||
15 | (v) use chemical agents or irritants for crowd | ||||||
16 | control, including pepper spray and tear gas, prior to | ||||||
17 | issuing an order to disperse in a sufficient manner to | ||||||
18 | allow for the order to be heard and repeated if necessary, | ||||||
19 | followed by sufficient time and space to allow compliance | ||||||
20 | with the order unless providing such time and space would | ||||||
21 | unduly place an officer or another person at risk of death | ||||||
22 | or great bodily harm; or | ||||||
23 | (vi) use chemical agents or irritants, including | ||||||
24 | pepper spray and tear gas, prior to issuing an order in a | ||||||
25 | sufficient manner to ensure the order is heard, and | ||||||
26 | repeated if necessary, to allow compliance with the order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unless providing such time and space would unduly place an | ||||||
2 | officer or another person at risk of death or great bodily | ||||||
3 | harm. | ||||||

| ||||||
6 | (720 ILCS 5/7-9) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-9) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 7-9. Use of force to prevent escape. | ||||||
8 | (a) A peace officer or other person who has an arrested | ||||||
9 | person in his custody is justified in the use of such force , | ||||||
10 | except deadly force, to prevent the escape of the arrested | ||||||
11 | person from custody as he would be justified in using if he | ||||||
12 | were arresting such person. | ||||||
13 | (b) A guard or other peace officer is justified in the use | ||||||
14 | of force , including force likely to cause death or great | ||||||
15 | bodily harm, which he reasonably believes to be necessary to | ||||||
16 | prevent the escape from a penal institution of a person whom | ||||||
17 | the officer reasonably believes to be lawfully detained in | ||||||
18 | such institution under sentence for an offense or awaiting | ||||||
19 | trial or commitment for an offense. | ||||||
20 | (c) Deadly force shall not be used to prevent escape under | ||||||
21 | this Section unless, based on the totality of the | ||||||
22 | circumstances, deadly force is necessary to prevent death or | ||||||
23 | great bodily harm to himself or such other person. | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (720 ILCS 5/9-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 9-1) | ||||||
2 | Sec. 9-1. First degree murder ; death penalties; | ||||||
3 | exceptions; separate hearings; proof; findings; appellate | ||||||
4 | procedures; reversals . | ||||||
5 | (a) A person who kills an individual without lawful | ||||||
6 | justification commits first degree murder if, in performing | ||||||
7 | the acts which cause the death: | ||||||
8 | (1) he or she either intends to kill or do great bodily | ||||||
9 | harm to that individual or another, or knows that such | ||||||
10 | acts will cause death to that individual or another; or | ||||||
11 | (2) he or she knows that such acts create a strong | ||||||
12 | probability of death or great bodily harm to that | ||||||
13 | individual or another; or | ||||||
14 | (3) he or she is attempting or committing a forcible | ||||||
15 | felony other than second degree murder he or she, acting | ||||||
16 | alone or with one or more participants, commits or | ||||||
17 | attempts to commit a forcible felony other than second | ||||||
18 | degree murder, and in the course of or in furtherance of | ||||||
19 | such crime or flight therefrom, he or she or another | ||||||
20 | participant causes the death of a person . | ||||||
21 | (b-1) Aggravating Factors. A defendant who at the time of | ||||||
22 | the commission of the offense has attained the age of 18 or | ||||||
23 | more and who has been found guilty of first degree murder may | ||||||
24 | be sentenced to death if: | ||||||
25 | (1) the murdered individual was a peace officer, | ||||||
26 | employee of an institution or facility of the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Corrections or any similar local correctional agency, | ||||||
2 | or fireman killed in the course of performing his official | ||||||
3 | duties, to prevent the performance of his or her official | ||||||
4 | duties, or in retaliation for performing his or her | ||||||
5 | official duties, and the defendant knew or should have | ||||||
6 | known that the murdered individual was so employed; or | ||||||
7 | (2) the defendant has been convicted of murdering 2 or | ||||||
8 | more individuals under subsection (a) of this Section or | ||||||
9 | under any law of the United States or of any state which is | ||||||
10 | substantially similar to subsection (a) of this Section | ||||||
11 | regardless of whether the deaths occurred as the result of | ||||||
12 | the same act or of several related or unrelated acts so | ||||||
13 | long as the deaths were the result of either an intent to | ||||||
14 | kill more than one person or of separate acts which the | ||||||
15 | defendant knew would cause death or create a strong | ||||||
16 | probability of death or great bodily harm to the murdered | ||||||
17 | individual or another; or | ||||||
18 | (3) the murdered individual was under 12 years of age | ||||||
19 | and the death resulted from exceptionally brutal or | ||||||
20 | heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty; or | ||||||
21 | (4) the murder was committed by the defendant upon the | ||||||
22 | grounds of a school or grounds adjacent to a school, or is | ||||||
23 | in any part of a building used for school purposes; or | ||||||
24 | (5) the murder was committed by the defendant in | ||||||
25 | connection with or as a result of the offense of terrorism | ||||||
26 | as defined in Section 29D-14.9 of this Code; or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (6) the murdered individual was a member of a | ||||||
2 | congregation engaged in prayer or other religious | ||||||
3 | activities at a church, synagogue, mosque, or other | ||||||
4 | building, structure, or place used for religious worship. | ||||||
5 | (b-6) Aggravating Factor; Natural Life Imprisonment. A | ||||||
6 | defendant who has been found guilty of first degree murder and | ||||||
7 | who at the time of the commission of the offense had attained | ||||||
8 | the age of 18 years or more may be sentenced to natural life | ||||||
9 | imprisonment if: | ||||||
10 | (i) the murdered individual was a physician, physician | ||||||
11 | assistant, psychologist, nurse, or advanced practice | ||||||
12 | registered nurse, | ||||||
13 | (ii) the defendant knew or should have known that the | ||||||
14 | murdered individual was a physician, physician assistant, | ||||||
15 | psychologist, nurse, or advanced practice registered | ||||||
16 | nurse, and | ||||||
17 | (iii) the murdered individual was killed in the course | ||||||
18 | of acting in his or her capacity as a physician, physician | ||||||
19 | assistant, psychologist, nurse, or advanced practice | ||||||
20 | registered nurse, or to prevent him or her from acting in | ||||||
21 | that capacity, or in retaliation for his or her acting in | ||||||
22 | that capacity. | ||||||
23 | (c-1) Consideration of factors in Aggravation and | ||||||
24 | Mitigation. The court shall consider, or shall instruct the | ||||||
25 | jury to consider any aggravating and any mitigating factors | ||||||
26 | which are relevant to the imposition of the death penalty. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Aggravating factors may include but need not be limited to | ||||||
2 | those factors set forth in subsection (b-1). Mitigating | ||||||
3 | factors may include but need not be limited to the following: | ||||||
4 | (1) the defendant has no significant history of prior | ||||||
5 | criminal activity; | ||||||
6 | (2) the murder was committed while the defendant was | ||||||
7 | under the influence of extreme mental or emotional | ||||||
8 | disturbance, although not such as to constitute a defense | ||||||
9 | to prosecution; | ||||||
10 | (3) the murdered individual was a participant in the | ||||||
11 | defendant's homicidal conduct or consented to the | ||||||
12 | homicidal act; | ||||||
13 | (4) the defendant acted under the compulsion of threat | ||||||
14 | or menace of the imminent infliction of death or great | ||||||
15 | bodily harm; | ||||||
16 | (5) the defendant was not personally present during | ||||||
17 | commission of the act or acts causing death; | ||||||
18 | (6) the defendant's background includes a history of | ||||||
19 | extreme emotional or physical abuse; | ||||||
20 | (7) the defendant suffers from a reduced mental | ||||||
21 | capacity. Provided, however, that an action that does not | ||||||
22 | otherwise mitigate first degree murder cannot qualify as a | ||||||
23 | mitigating factor for first degree murder because of the | ||||||
24 | discovery, knowledge, or disclosure of the victim's sexual | ||||||
25 | orientation as defined in Section 1-103 of the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Human Rights Act. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d-1) Separate sentencing hearing. Where requested by the | ||||||
2 | State, the court shall conduct a separate sentencing | ||||||
3 | proceeding to determine the existence of factors set forth in | ||||||
4 | subsection (b-1) and to consider any aggravating or mitigating | ||||||
5 | factors as indicated in subsection (c-1). The proceeding shall | ||||||
6 | be conducted: | ||||||
7 | (1) before the jury that determined the defendant's | ||||||
8 | guilt; or | ||||||
9 | (2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose of the | ||||||
10 | proceeding if: | ||||||
11 | (A) the defendant was convicted upon a plea of | ||||||
12 | guilty; or | ||||||
13 | (B) the defendant was convicted after a trial | ||||||
14 | before the court sitting without a jury; or | ||||||
15 | (C) the court for good cause shown discharges the | ||||||
16 | jury that determined the defendant's guilt; or | ||||||
17 | (3) before the court alone if the defendant waives a | ||||||
18 | jury for the separate proceeding. | ||||||
19 | (e-1) Evidence and Argument. During the proceeding any | ||||||
20 | information relevant to any of the factors set forth in | ||||||
21 | subsection (b-1) may be presented by either the State or the | ||||||
22 | defendant under the rules governing the admission of evidence | ||||||
23 | at criminal trials. Any information relevant to any additional | ||||||
24 | aggravating factors or any mitigating factors indicated in | ||||||
25 | subsection (c-1) may be presented by the State or defendant | ||||||
26 | regardless of its admissibility under the rules governing the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | admission of evidence at criminal trials. The State and the | ||||||
2 | defendant shall be given fair opportunity to rebut any | ||||||
3 | information received at the hearing. | ||||||
4 | (f-1) Proof. The burden of proof of establishing the | ||||||
5 | existence of any of the factors set forth in subsection (b-1) | ||||||
6 | is on the State and shall not be satisfied unless established | ||||||
7 | beyond a reasonable doubt. | ||||||
8 | (g-1) Procedure - Jury. If at the separate sentencing | ||||||
9 | proceeding the jury finds that none of the factors set forth in | ||||||
10 | subsection (b-1) exists, the court shall sentence the | ||||||
11 | defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the | ||||||
12 | Unified Code of Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding | ||||||
13 | by the jury that one or more of the factors set forth in | ||||||
14 | subsection (b-1) exist, the jury shall consider aggravating | ||||||
15 | and mitigating factors as instructed by the court and shall | ||||||
16 | determine whether the sentence of death shall be imposed. If | ||||||
17 | the jury determines unanimously, after weighing the factors in | ||||||
18 | aggravation and mitigation, that death is the appropriate | ||||||
19 | sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to death. If | ||||||
20 | the court does not concur with the jury determination that | ||||||
21 | death is the appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth | ||||||
22 | reasons in writing including what facts or circumstances the | ||||||
23 | court relied upon, along with any relevant documents, that | ||||||
24 | compelled the court to non-concur with the sentence. This | ||||||
25 | document and any attachments shall be part of the record for | ||||||
26 | appellate review. The court shall be bound by the jury's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sentencing determination. If after weighing the factors in | ||||||
2 | aggravation and mitigation, one or more jurors determines that | ||||||
3 | death is not the appropriate sentence, the court shall | ||||||
4 | sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter | ||||||
5 | V of the Unified Code of Corrections. | ||||||
6 | (h-1) Procedure - No Jury. In a proceeding before the | ||||||
7 | court alone, if the court finds that none of the factors found | ||||||
8 | in subsection (b-1) exists, the court shall sentence the | ||||||
9 | defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the | ||||||
10 | Unified Code of Corrections. If the Court determines that one | ||||||
11 | or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b-1) exists, | ||||||
12 | the Court shall consider any aggravating and mitigating | ||||||
13 | factors as indicated in subsection (c-1). If the Court | ||||||
14 | determines, after weighing the factors in aggravation and | ||||||
15 | mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the Court | ||||||
16 | shall sentence the defendant to death. If the court finds that | ||||||
17 | death is not the appropriate sentence, the court shall | ||||||
18 | sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter | ||||||
19 | V of the Unified Code of Corrections. | ||||||
20 | (h-6) Decertification as a capital case. In a case in | ||||||
21 | which the defendant has been found guilty of first degree | ||||||
22 | murder by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for | ||||||
23 | resentencing, and the State seeks the death penalty as an | ||||||
24 | appropriate sentence, on the court's own motion or the written | ||||||
25 | motion of the defendant, the court may decertify the case as a | ||||||
26 | death penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated | ||||||
2 | testimony of an informant witness, as defined in Section | ||||||
3 | 115-21 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, concerning | ||||||
4 | the confession or admission of the defendant or that the sole | ||||||
5 | evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or | ||||||
6 | single accomplice without any other corroborating evidence. If | ||||||
7 | the court decertifies the case as a capital case under either | ||||||

18 | may overturn the death sentence, and order the imposition of | ||||||
19 | imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of | ||||||
20 | Corrections if the court finds that the death sentence is | ||||||
21 | fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular case. If the | ||||||

23 | fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular case, | ||||||
24 | independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the Illinois | ||||||
25 | Supreme Court shall issue a written opinion explaining this | ||||||

7 | the sentencing provisions of this Section is declared | ||||||
8 | unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or | ||||||
9 | of the State of Illinois, the court having jurisdiction over a | ||||||
10 | person previously sentenced to death shall cause the defendant | ||||||
11 | to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence | ||||||

1 | Sec. 103-5. Speedy trial.) | ||||||
2 | (a) Every person in custody in this State for an alleged | ||||||
3 | offense shall be tried by the court having jurisdiction within | ||||||
4 | 120 days from the date he or she was taken into custody unless | ||||||
5 | delay is occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for | ||||||
6 | fitness ordered pursuant to Section 104-13 of this Act, by a | ||||||
7 | fitness hearing, by an adjudication of unfitness to stand | ||||||
8 | trial, by a continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of | ||||||
9 | this Act after a court's determination of the defendant's | ||||||
10 | physical incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal. | ||||||
11 | Delay shall be considered to be agreed to by the defendant | ||||||
12 | unless he or she objects to the delay by making a written | ||||||
13 | demand for trial or an oral demand for trial on the record. The | ||||||
14 | provisions of this subsection (a) do not apply to a person on | ||||||
15 | bail pretrial release or recognizance for an offense but who | ||||||
16 | is in custody for a violation of his or her parole, aftercare | ||||||
17 | release, or mandatory supervised release for another offense. | ||||||
18 | The 120-day term must be one continuous period of | ||||||
19 | incarceration. In computing the 120-day term, separate periods | ||||||
20 | of incarceration may not be combined. If a defendant is taken | ||||||
21 | into custody a second (or subsequent) time for the same | ||||||
22 | offense, the term will begin again at day zero. | ||||||
23 | (b) Every person on bail pretrial release or recognizance | ||||||
24 | shall be tried by the court having jurisdiction within 160 | ||||||
25 | days from the date defendant demands trial unless delay is | ||||||
26 | occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for fitness |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordered pursuant to Section 104-13 of this Act, by a fitness | ||||||
2 | hearing, by an adjudication of unfitness to stand trial, by a | ||||||
3 | continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of this Act | ||||||
4 | after a court's determination of the defendant's physical | ||||||
5 | incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal. The | ||||||
6 | defendant's failure to appear for any court date set by the | ||||||
7 | court operates to waive the defendant's demand for trial made | ||||||
8 | under this subsection. | ||||||
9 | For purposes of computing the 160 day period under this | ||||||
10 | subsection (b), every person who was in custody for an alleged | ||||||
11 | offense and demanded trial and is subsequently released on | ||||||
12 | bail pretrial release or recognizance and demands trial, shall | ||||||
13 | be given credit for time spent in custody following the making | ||||||
14 | of the demand while in custody. Any demand for trial made under | ||||||
15 | this subsection (b) shall be in writing; and in the case of a | ||||||
16 | defendant not in custody, the demand for trial shall include | ||||||
17 | the date of any prior demand made under this provision while | ||||||
18 | the defendant was in custody. | ||||||
19 | (c) If the court determines that the State has exercised | ||||||
20 | without success due diligence to obtain evidence material to | ||||||
21 | the case and that there are reasonable grounds to believe that | ||||||
22 | such evidence may be obtained at a later day the court may | ||||||
23 | continue the cause on application of the State for not more | ||||||
24 | than an additional 60 days. If the court determines that the | ||||||
25 | State has exercised without success due diligence to obtain | ||||||
26 | results of DNA testing that is material to the case and that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | there are reasonable grounds to believe that such results may | ||||||
2 | be obtained at a later day, the court may continue the cause on | ||||||
3 | application of the State for not more than an additional 120 | ||||||
4 | days. | ||||||
5 | (d) Every person not tried in accordance with subsections | ||||||
6 | (a), (b) and (c) of this Section shall be discharged from | ||||||
7 | custody or released from the obligations of the person's bail | ||||||
8 | his pretrial release or recognizance. | ||||||
9 | (e) If a person is simultaneously in custody upon more | ||||||
10 | than one charge pending against him in the same county, or | ||||||
11 | simultaneously demands trial upon more than one charge pending | ||||||
12 | against him in the same county, he shall be tried, or adjudged | ||||||
13 | guilty after waiver of trial, upon at least one such charge | ||||||
14 | before expiration relative to any of such pending charges of | ||||||
15 | the period prescribed by subsections (a) and (b) of this | ||||||
16 | Section. Such person shall be tried upon all of the remaining | ||||||
17 | charges thus pending within 160 days from the date on which | ||||||
18 | judgment relative to the first charge thus prosecuted is | ||||||
19 | rendered pursuant to the Unified Code of Corrections or, if | ||||||
20 | such trial upon such first charge is terminated without | ||||||
21 | judgment and there is no subsequent trial of, or adjudication | ||||||
22 | of guilt after waiver of trial of, such first charge within a | ||||||
23 | reasonable time, the person shall be tried upon all of the | ||||||
24 | remaining charges thus pending within 160 days from the date | ||||||
25 | on which such trial is terminated; if either such period of 160 | ||||||
26 | days expires without the commencement of trial of, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | adjudication of guilt after waiver of trial of, any of such | ||||||
2 | remaining charges thus pending, such charge or charges shall | ||||||
3 | be dismissed and barred for want of prosecution unless delay | ||||||
4 | is occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for fitness | ||||||
5 | ordered pursuant to Section 104-13 of this Act, by a fitness | ||||||
6 | hearing, by an adjudication of unfitness for trial, by a | ||||||
7 | continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of this Act | ||||||
8 | after a court's determination of the defendant's physical | ||||||
9 | incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal; provided, | ||||||
10 | however, that if the court determines that the State has | ||||||
11 | exercised without success due diligence to obtain evidence | ||||||
12 | material to the case and that there are reasonable grounds to | ||||||
13 | believe that such evidence may be obtained at a later day the | ||||||
14 | court may continue the cause on application of the State for | ||||||
15 | not more than an additional 60 days. | ||||||
16 | (f) Delay occasioned by the defendant shall temporarily | ||||||
17 | suspend for the time of the delay the period within which a | ||||||
18 | person shall be tried as prescribed by subsections (a), (b), | ||||||
19 | or (e) of this Section and on the day of expiration of the | ||||||
20 | delay the said period shall continue at the point at which it | ||||||
21 | was suspended. Where such delay occurs within 21 days of the | ||||||
22 | end of the period within which a person shall be tried as | ||||||
23 | prescribed by subsections (a), (b), or (e) of this Section, | ||||||
24 | the court may continue the cause on application of the State | ||||||
25 | for not more than an additional 21 days beyond the period | ||||||
26 | prescribed by subsections (a), (b), or (e). This subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) shall become effective on, and apply to persons charged | ||||||

8 | ordered to take place at mental health or developmental | ||||||
9 | disabilities facilities operated by the Department of Human | ||||||
10 | Services. If the defendant fails to keep appointments without | ||||||
11 | reasonable cause or if the person conducting the examination | ||||||
12 | reports to the court that diagnosis requires hospitalization | ||||||
13 | or extended observation, the court may order the defendant | ||||||
14 | admitted to an appropriate facility for an examination, other | ||||||
15 | than a screening examination, for not more than 7 days. The | ||||||

17 | on bond or pre-trial release pending the imposition or | ||||||
18 | execution of sentence or appeal of sentence for any offense | ||||||
19 | under the laws of Illinois or any other state or federal | ||||||
20 | jurisdiction, whether the defendant is under parole, aftercare | ||||||
21 | release, mandatory supervised release, or work release from | ||||||
22 | the Illinois Department of Corrections or Illinois Department | ||||||
23 | of Juvenile Justice or any penal institution or corrections | ||||||
24 | department of any state or federal jurisdiction, the | ||||||
25 | defendant's record of convictions, whether the defendant has | ||||||
26 | been convicted of a misdemeanor or ordinance offense in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois or similar offense in other state or federal | ||||||
2 | jurisdiction within the 10 years preceding the current charge | ||||||
3 | or convicted of a felony in Illinois, whether the defendant | ||||||
4 | was convicted of an offense in another state or federal | ||||||
5 | jurisdiction that would be a felony if committed in Illinois | ||||||
6 | within the 20 years preceding the current charge or has been | ||||||
7 | convicted of such felony and released from the penitentiary | ||||||
8 | within 20 years preceding the current charge if a penitentiary | ||||||
9 | sentence was imposed in Illinois or other state or federal | ||||||
10 | jurisdiction, the defendant's records of juvenile adjudication | ||||||
11 | of delinquency in any jurisdiction, any record of appearance | ||||||
12 | or failure to appear by the defendant at court proceedings, | ||||||
13 | whether there was flight to avoid arrest or prosecution, | ||||||
14 | whether the defendant escaped or attempted to escape to avoid | ||||||
15 | arrest, whether the defendant refused to identify himself or | ||||||
16 | herself, or whether there was a refusal by the defendant to be | ||||||
17 | fingerprinted as required by law. Information used by the | ||||||
18 | court in its findings or stated in or offered in connection | ||||||
19 | with this Section may be by way of proffer based upon reliable | ||||||
20 | information offered by the State or defendant. All evidence | ||||||
21 | shall be admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless | ||||||
22 | of whether it would be admissible under the rules of evidence | ||||||
23 | applicable at criminal trials. If the State presents evidence | ||||||
24 | that the offense committed by the defendant was related to or | ||||||
25 | in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang | ||||||
26 | or was motivated by the defendant's membership in or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allegiance to an organized gang, and if the court determines | ||||||
2 | that the evidence may be substantiated, the court shall | ||||||
3 | prohibit the defendant from associating with other members of | ||||||
4 | the organized gang as a condition of bail or release. For the | ||||||
5 | purposes of this Section, "organized gang" has the meaning | ||||||
6 | ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang | ||||||
7 | Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act. | ||||||
8 | (a-5) There shall be a presumption that any conditions of | ||||||
9 | release imposed shall be non-monetary in nature and the court | ||||||
10 | shall impose the least restrictive conditions or combination | ||||||
11 | of conditions necessary to reasonably assure the appearance of | ||||||
12 | the defendant for further court proceedings and protect the | ||||||
13 | integrity of the judicial proceedings from a specific threat | ||||||
14 | to a witness or participant. Conditions of release may | ||||||
15 | include, but not be limited to, electronic home monitoring, | ||||||
16 | curfews, drug counseling, stay-away orders, and in-person | ||||||
17 | reporting. The court shall consider the defendant's | ||||||
18 | socio-economic circumstance when setting conditions of release | ||||||
19 | or imposing monetary bail. | ||||||
20 | (b) The amount of bail shall be: | ||||||
21 | (1) Sufficient to assure compliance with the | ||||||
22 | conditions set forth in the bail bond, which shall include | ||||||
23 | the defendant's current address with a written | ||||||
24 | admonishment to the defendant that he or she must comply | ||||||
25 | with the provisions of Section 110-12 regarding any change | ||||||
26 | in his or her address. The defendant's address shall at |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | all times remain a matter of public record with the clerk | ||||||
2 | of the court. | ||||||
3 | (2) Not oppressive. | ||||||
4 | (3) Considerate of the financial ability of the | ||||||
5 | accused. | ||||||
6 | (4) When a person is charged with a drug related | ||||||
7 | offense involving possession or delivery of cannabis or | ||||||
8 | possession or delivery of a controlled substance as | ||||||
9 | defined in the Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois | ||||||
10 | Controlled Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control | ||||||
11 | and Community Protection Act, the full street value of the | ||||||
12 | drugs seized shall be considered. "Street value" shall be | ||||||
13 | determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by the | ||||||
14 | State based upon reliable information of a law enforcement | ||||||
15 | official contained in a written report as to the amount | ||||||
16 | seized and such proffer may be used by the court as to the | ||||||
17 | current street value of the smallest unit of the drug | ||||||
18 | seized. | ||||||
19 | (b-5) Upon the filing of a written request demonstrating | ||||||
20 | reasonable cause, the State's Attorney may request a source of | ||||||
21 | bail hearing either before or after the posting of any funds. | ||||||
22 | If the hearing is granted, before the posting of any bail, the | ||||||
23 | accused must file a written notice requesting that the court | ||||||
24 | conduct a source of bail hearing. The notice must be | ||||||
25 | accompanied by justifying affidavits stating the legitimate | ||||||
26 | and lawful source of funds for bail. At the hearing, the court |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall inquire into any matters stated in any justifying | ||||||
2 | affidavits, and may also inquire into matters appropriate to | ||||||
3 | the determination which shall include, but are not limited to, | ||||||
4 | the following: | ||||||
5 | (1) the background, character, reputation, and | ||||||
6 | relationship to the accused of any surety; and | ||||||
7 | (2) the source of any money or property deposited by | ||||||
8 | any surety, and whether any such money or property | ||||||
9 | constitutes the fruits of criminal or unlawful conduct; | ||||||
10 | and | ||||||
11 | (3) the source of any money posted as cash bail, and | ||||||
12 | whether any such money constitutes the fruits of criminal | ||||||
13 | or unlawful conduct; and | ||||||
14 | (4) the background, character, reputation, and | ||||||
15 | relationship to the accused of the person posting cash | ||||||
16 | bail. | ||||||
17 | Upon setting the hearing, the court shall examine, under | ||||||
18 | oath, any persons who may possess material information. | ||||||
19 | The State's Attorney has a right to attend the hearing, to | ||||||
20 | call witnesses and to examine any witness in the proceeding. | ||||||
21 | The court shall, upon request of the State's Attorney, | ||||||
22 | continue the proceedings for a reasonable period to allow the | ||||||
23 | State's Attorney to investigate the matter raised in any | ||||||
24 | testimony or affidavit. If the hearing is granted after the | ||||||
25 | accused has posted bail, the court shall conduct a hearing | ||||||
26 | consistent with this subsection (b-5). At the conclusion of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the hearing, the court must issue an order either approving or | ||||||
2 | disapproving the bail. | ||||||
3 | (c) When a person is charged with an offense punishable by | ||||||
4 | fine only the amount of the bail shall not exceed double the | ||||||
5 | amount of the maximum penalty. | ||||||
6 | (d) When a person has been convicted of an offense and only | ||||||
7 | a fine has been imposed the amount of the bail shall not exceed | ||||||
8 | double the amount of the fine. | ||||||
9 | (e) The State may appeal any order granting bail or | ||||||
10 | setting a given amount for bail. | ||||||
11 | (f) When a person is charged with a violation of an order | ||||||
12 | of protection under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal | ||||||
13 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or when a person is | ||||||

17 | cyberstalking, harassment by telephone, harassment through | ||||||
18 | electronic communications, or an attempt to commit first | ||||||
19 | degree murder committed against an intimate partner regardless | ||||||
20 | whether an order of protection has been issued against the | ||||||
21 | person, | ||||||
22 | (1) whether the alleged incident involved harassment | ||||||
23 | or abuse, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act | ||||||
24 | of 1986; | ||||||
25 | (2) whether the person has a history of domestic | ||||||
26 | violence, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act, or a history of other criminal acts; | ||||||
2 | (3) based on the mental health of the person; | ||||||
3 | (4) whether the person has a history of violating the | ||||||
4 | orders of any court or governmental entity; | ||||||
5 | (5) whether the person has been, or is, potentially a | ||||||
6 | threat to any other person; | ||||||
7 | (6) whether the person has access to deadly weapons or | ||||||
8 | a history of using deadly weapons; | ||||||
9 | (7) whether the person has a history of abusing | ||||||
10 | alcohol or any controlled substance; | ||||||
11 | (8) based on the severity of the alleged incident that | ||||||
12 | is the basis of the alleged offense, including, but not | ||||||
13 | limited to, the duration of the current incident, and | ||||||
14 | whether the alleged incident involved the use of a weapon, | ||||||
15 | physical injury, sexual assault, strangulation, abuse | ||||||
16 | during the alleged victim's pregnancy, abuse of pets, or | ||||||
17 | forcible entry to gain access to the alleged victim; | ||||||
18 | (9) whether a separation of the person from the | ||||||
19 | alleged victim or a termination of the relationship | ||||||
20 | between the person and the alleged victim has recently | ||||||
21 | occurred or is pending; | ||||||
22 | (10) whether the person has exhibited obsessive or | ||||||
23 | controlling behaviors toward the alleged victim, | ||||||
24 | including, but not limited to, stalking, surveillance, or | ||||||
25 | isolation of the alleged victim or victim's family member | ||||||
26 | or members; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (11) whether the person has expressed suicidal or | ||||||
2 | homicidal ideations; | ||||||
3 | (12) based on any information contained in the | ||||||
4 | complaint and any police reports, affidavits, or other | ||||||
5 | documents accompanying the complaint; | ||||||
6 | the court may, in its discretion, order the respondent to | ||||||
7 | undergo a risk assessment evaluation using a recognized, | ||||||
8 | evidence-based instrument conducted by an Illinois Department | ||||||
9 | of Human Services approved partner abuse intervention program | ||||||
10 | provider, pretrial service, probation, or parole agency. These | ||||||
11 | agencies shall have access to summaries of the defendant's | ||||||
12 | criminal history, which shall not include victim interviews or | ||||||
13 | information, for the risk evaluation. Based on the information | ||||||
14 | collected from the 12 points to be considered at a bail hearing | ||||||
15 | under this subsection (f), the results of any risk evaluation | ||||||
16 | conducted and the other circumstances of the violation, the | ||||||
17 | court may order that the person, as a condition of bail, be | ||||||
18 | placed under electronic surveillance as provided in Section | ||||||
19 | 5-8A-7 of the Unified Code of Corrections. Upon making a | ||||||
20 | determination whether or not to order the respondent to | ||||||
21 | undergo a risk assessment evaluation or to be placed under | ||||||
22 | electronic surveillance and risk assessment, the court shall | ||||||
23 | document in the record the court's reasons for making those | ||||||
24 | determinations. The cost of the electronic surveillance and | ||||||
25 | risk assessment shall be paid by, or on behalf, of the | ||||||
26 | defendant. As used in this subsection (f), "intimate partner" |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | means a spouse or a current or former partner in a cohabitation | ||||||
2 | or dating relationship. | ||||||
3 | (a) In determining which conditions of pretrial release, | ||||||
4 | if any, will reasonably ensure the appearance of a defendant | ||||||
5 | as required or the safety of any other person or the community | ||||||
6 | and the likelihood of compliance by the defendant with all the | ||||||
7 | conditions of pretrial release, the court shall, on the basis | ||||||
8 | of available information, take into account such matters as: | ||||||
9 | (1) the nature and circumstances of the offense | ||||||
10 | charged; | ||||||
11 | (2) the weight of the evidence against the defendant, | ||||||
12 | except that the court may consider the admissibility of | ||||||
13 | any evidence sought to be excluded; | ||||||
14 | (3) the history and characteristics of the defendant, | ||||||
15 | including: | ||||||
16 | (A) the defendant's character, physical and mental | ||||||

20 | abuse, conduct, history criminal history, and record | ||||||
21 | concerning appearance at court proceedings; and | ||||||
22 | (B) whether, at the time of the current offense or | ||||||
23 | arrest, the defendant was on probation, parole, or on | ||||||
24 | other release pending trial, sentencing, appeal, or | ||||||
25 | completion of sentence for an offense under federal | ||||||
26 | law, or the law of this or any other state; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) the nature and seriousness of the real and present | ||||||
2 | threat to the safety of any person or persons or the | ||||||
3 | community, based on the specific articulable facts of the | ||||||
4 | case, that would be posed by the defendant's release, if | ||||||
5 | applicable, as required under paragraph (7.5) of Section 4 | ||||||
6 | of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act; | ||||||
7 | (5) the nature and seriousness of the risk of | ||||||
8 | obstructing or attempting to obstruct the criminal justice | ||||||
9 | process that would be posed by the defendant's release, if | ||||||
10 | applicable; | ||||||
11 | (6) when a person is charged with a violation of a | ||||||
12 | protective order, domestic battery, aggravated domestic | ||||||
13 | battery, kidnapping, aggravated kidnaping, unlawful | ||||||
14 | restraint, aggravated unlawful restraint, cyberstalking, | ||||||

8 | (7) in cases of stalking or aggravated stalking under | ||||||
9 | Section 12-7.3 or 12-7.4 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the | ||||||
10 | court may consider the factors listed in paragraph (6) and | ||||||
11 | the following additional factors: | ||||||
12 | (A) any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | ||||||
13 | history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive | ||||||

17 | commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings; | ||||||
18 | (B) any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | ||||||

3 | (F) whether the defendant is known to possess or | ||||||

9 | (b) The court may use a regularly validated risk | ||||||
10 | assessment tool to aid its determination of appropriate | ||||||
11 | conditions of release as provided under Section 110-6.4. If a | ||||||
12 | risk assessment tool is used, the defendant's counsel shall be | ||||||
13 | provided with the information and scoring system of the risk | ||||||
14 | assessment tool used to arrive at the determination. The | ||||||
15 | defendant retains the right to challenge the validity of a | ||||||

17 | relevant to the defendant's challenge. | ||||||
18 | (c) The court shall impose any conditions that are | ||||||
19 | mandatory under subsection (a) of Section 110-10. The court | ||||||

26 | (d) When a person is charged with a violation of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | protective order, the court may order the defendant placed | ||||||
2 | under electronic surveillance as a condition of pretrial | ||||||
3 | release, as provided in Section 5-8A-7 of the Unified Code of | ||||||
4 | Corrections, based on the information collected under | ||||||
5 | paragraph (6) of subsection (a) of this Section, the results | ||||||
6 | of any assessment conducted, or other circumstances of the | ||||||
7 | violation. | ||||||
8 | (e) If a person remains in pretrial detention 48 hours | ||||||
9 | after having been ordered released with pretrial conditions, | ||||||
10 | the court shall hold a hearing to determine the reason for | ||||||
11 | continued detention. If the reason for continued detention is | ||||||
12 | due to the unavailability or the defendant's ineligibility for | ||||||
13 | one or more pretrial conditions previously ordered by the | ||||||
14 | court or directed by a pretrial services agency, the court | ||||||
15 | shall reopen the conditions of release hearing to determine | ||||||
16 | what available pretrial conditions exist that will reasonably | ||||||
17 | ensure the appearance of a defendant as required, the safety | ||||||
18 | of any other person, and the likelihood of compliance by the | ||||||
19 | defendant with all the conditions of pretrial release. The | ||||||
20 | inability of the defendant to pay for a condition of release or | ||||||
21 | any other ineligibility for a condition of pretrial release | ||||||
22 | shall not be used as a justification for the pretrial | ||||||
23 | detention of that defendant. | ||||||
24 | (f) Prior to the defendant's first appearance, and with | ||||||
25 | sufficient time for meaningful attorney-client contact to | ||||||
26 | gather information in order to advocate effectively for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defendant's pretrial release, the court shall appoint the | ||||||
2 | public defender or a licensed attorney at law of this State to | ||||||
3 | represent the defendant for purposes of that hearing, unless | ||||||
4 | the defendant has obtained licensed counsel. Defense counsel | ||||||
5 | shall have access to the same documentary information relied | ||||||
6 | upon by the prosecution and presented to the court. | ||||||
7 | (f-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant | ||||||
8 | before the court, the judge must find that the current | ||||||
9 | conditions imposed are necessary to reasonably ensure the | ||||||
10 | appearance of the defendant as required, the safety of any | ||||||
11 | other person, and the compliance of the defendant with all the | ||||||
12 | conditions of pretrial release. The court is not required to | ||||||
13 | be presented with new information or a change in circumstance | ||||||
14 | to remove pretrial conditions. | ||||||
15 | (g) Electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home | ||||||
16 | confinement can only be imposed as a condition of pretrial | ||||||
17 | release if a no less restrictive condition of release or | ||||||
18 | combination of less restrictive condition of release would | ||||||
19 | reasonably ensure the appearance of the defendant for later | ||||||
20 | hearings or protect an identifiable person or persons from | ||||||
21 | imminent threat of serious physical harm. | ||||||
22 | (h) If the court imposes electronic monitoring, GPS | ||||||
23 | monitoring, or home confinement, the court shall set forth in | ||||||
24 | the record the basis for its finding. A defendant shall be | ||||||
25 | given custodial credit for each day he or she was subjected to | ||||||
26 | home confinement, at the same rate described in subsection (b) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The | ||||||
2 | court may give custodial credit to a defendant for each day the | ||||||
3 | defendant was subjected to GPS monitoring without home | ||||||
4 | confinement or electronic monitoring without home confinement. | ||||||
5 | (i) If electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home | ||||||
6 | confinement is imposed, the court shall determine every 60 | ||||||
7 | days if no less restrictive condition of release or | ||||||
8 | combination of less restrictive conditions of release would | ||||||
9 | reasonably ensure the appearance, or continued appearance, of | ||||||
10 | the defendant for later hearings or protect an identifiable | ||||||
11 | person or persons from imminent threat of serious physical | ||||||
12 | harm. If the court finds that there are less restrictive | ||||||
13 | conditions of release, the court shall order that the | ||||||
14 | condition be removed. This subsection takes effect January 1, | ||||||
15 | 2022. | ||||||
16 | (j) Crime Victims shall be given notice by the State's | ||||||
17 | Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1) | ||||||
18 | of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims | ||||||
19 | and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity | ||||||
20 | at this hearing to obtain a protective order. | ||||||
21 | (k) The State and defendants may appeal court orders | ||||||
22 | imposing conditions of pretrial release. | ||||||

1 | (725 ILCS 5/110-5.2) | ||||||
2 | Sec. 110-5.2. Bail Pretrial release ; pregnant pre-trial | ||||||
3 | detainee. | ||||||
4 | (a) It is the policy of this State that a pre-trial | ||||||
5 | detainee shall not be required to deliver a child while in | ||||||
6 | custody absent a finding by the court that continued pre-trial | ||||||
7 | custody is necessary to protect the public or the victim of the | ||||||
8 | offense on which the charge is based alleviate a real and | ||||||
9 | present threat to the safety of any person or persons or the | ||||||
10 | community, based on the specific articulable facts of the | ||||||
11 | case, or prevent the defendant's willful flight . | ||||||
12 | (b) If the court reasonably believes that a pre-trial | ||||||
13 | detainee will give birth while in custody, the court shall | ||||||
14 | order an alternative to custody unless, after a hearing, the | ||||||
15 | court determines: | ||||||
16 | (1) that the release of the pregnant pre-trial | ||||||
17 | detainee would pose a real and present threat to the | ||||||
18 | physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and | ||||||
19 | continuing custody is necessary to prevent the fulfillment | ||||||
20 | of the threat upon which the charge is based; or the | ||||||
21 | pregnant pretrial detainee is charged with an offense for | ||||||
22 | which pretrial release may be denied under Section | ||||||
23 | 110-6.1; and | ||||||
24 | (2) that the release of the pregnant pre-trial | ||||||
25 | detainee would pose a real and present threat to the | ||||||
26 | physical safety of any person or persons or the general |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | public after a hearing under Section 110-6.1 that | ||||||
2 | considers the circumstances of the pregnancy, the court | ||||||
3 | determines that continued detention is the only way to | ||||||
4 | prevent a real and present threat to the safety of any | ||||||
5 | person or persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
6 | articulable facts of the case, or prevent the defendant's | ||||||
7 | willful flight . | ||||||
8 | (c) The court may order a pregnant or post-partum detainee | ||||||
9 | to be subject to electronic monitoring as a condition of | ||||||
10 | pre-trial release or order other condition or combination of | ||||||
11 | conditions the court reasonably determines are in the best | ||||||
12 | interest of the detainee and the public. Electronic Monitoring | ||||||
13 | may be ordered by the court only if no less restrictive | ||||||
14 | condition of release or combination of less restrictive | ||||||
15 | conditions of release would reasonably ensure the appearance, | ||||||
16 | or continued appearance, of the defendant for later hearings | ||||||
17 | or protect an identifiable person or persons from imminent | ||||||
18 | threat of serious physical harm. All pregnant people or those | ||||||
19 | who have given birth within 6 weeks shall be granted ample | ||||||
20 | movement to attend doctor's appointments and for emergencies | ||||||
21 | related to the health of the pregnancy, infant, or postpartum | ||||||
22 | person. | ||||||
23 | (d) This Section shall be applicable to a pregnant | ||||||
24 | pre-trial detainee in custody on or after the effective date | ||||||
25 | of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 110-6. Modification of bail or conditions Revocation | ||||||
3 | of pretrial release, modification of conditions of pretrial | ||||||
4 | release, and sanctions for violations of conditions of | ||||||
5 | pretrial release . | ||||||
6 | (a) Upon verified application by the State or the | ||||||
7 | defendant or on its own motion the court before which the | ||||||
8 | proceeding is pending may increase or reduce the amount of | ||||||
9 | bail or may alter the conditions of the bail bond or grant bail | ||||||
10 | where it has been previously revoked or denied. If bail has | ||||||
11 | been previously revoked pursuant to subsection (f) of this | ||||||
12 | Section or if bail has been denied to the defendant pursuant to | ||||||
13 | subsection (e) of Section 110-6.1 or subsection (e) of Section | ||||||
14 | 110-6.3-1, the defendant shall be required to present a | ||||||
15 | verified application setting forth in detail any new facts not | ||||||
16 | known or obtainable at the time of the previous revocation or | ||||||
17 | denial of bail proceedings. If the court grants bail where it | ||||||
18 | has been previously revoked or denied, the court shall state | ||||||
19 | on the record of the proceedings the findings of facts and | ||||||
20 | conclusion of law upon which such order is based. | ||||||
21 | (a-5) In addition to any other available motion or | ||||||
22 | procedure under this Code, a person in custody solely for a | ||||||
23 | Category B offense due to an inability to post monetary bail | ||||||
24 | shall be brought before the court at the next available court | ||||||
25 | date or 7 calendar days from the date bail was set, whichever |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is earlier, for a rehearing on the amount or conditions of bail | ||||||
2 | or release pending further court proceedings. The court may | ||||||
3 | reconsider conditions of release for any other person whose | ||||||
4 | inability to post monetary bail is the sole reason for | ||||||
5 | continued incarceration, including a person in custody for a | ||||||
6 | Category A offense or a Category A offense and a Category B | ||||||
7 | offense. The court may deny the rehearing permitted under this | ||||||
8 | subsection (a-5) if the person has failed to appear as | ||||||
9 | required before the court and is incarcerated based on a | ||||||
10 | warrant for failure to appear on the same original criminal | ||||||
11 | offense. | ||||||
12 | (b) Violation of the conditions of Section 110-10 of this | ||||||
13 | Code or any special conditions of bail as ordered by the court | ||||||
14 | shall constitute grounds for the court to increase the amount | ||||||
15 | of bail, or otherwise alter the conditions of bail, or, where | ||||||
16 | the alleged offense committed on bail is a forcible felony in | ||||||
17 | Illinois or a Class 2 or greater offense under the Illinois | ||||||
18 | Controlled Substances Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the | ||||||
19 | Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, revoke | ||||||
20 | bail pursuant to the appropriate provisions of subsection (e) | ||||||
21 | of this Section. | ||||||
22 | (c) Reasonable notice of such application by the defendant | ||||||
23 | shall be given to the State. | ||||||
24 | (d) Reasonable notice of such application by the State | ||||||
25 | shall be given to the defendant, except as provided in | ||||||
26 | subsection (e). |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) Upon verified application by the State stating facts | ||||||
2 | or circumstances constituting a violation or a threatened | ||||||
3 | violation of any of the conditions of the bail bond the court | ||||||
4 | may issue a warrant commanding any peace officer to bring the | ||||||
5 | defendant without unnecessary delay before the court for a | ||||||
6 | hearing on the matters set forth in the application. If the | ||||||
7 | actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent | ||||||
8 | or otherwise unavailable another court may issue a warrant | ||||||
9 | pursuant to this Section. When the defendant is charged with a | ||||||
10 | felony offense and while free on bail is charged with a | ||||||
11 | subsequent felony offense and is the subject of a proceeding | ||||||
12 | set forth in Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the | ||||||
13 | filing of a verified petition by the State alleging a | ||||||
14 | violation of Section 110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court | ||||||
15 | shall without prior notice to the defendant, grant leave to | ||||||
16 | file such application and shall order the transfer of the | ||||||
17 | defendant and the application without unnecessary delay to the | ||||||
18 | court before which the previous felony matter is pending for a | ||||||
19 | hearing as provided in subsection (b) or this subsection of | ||||||
20 | this Section. The defendant shall be held without bond pending | ||||||
21 | transfer to and a hearing before such court. At the conclusion | ||||||
22 | of the hearing based on a violation of the conditions of | ||||||
23 | Section 110-10 of this Code or any special conditions of bail | ||||||
24 | as ordered by the court the court may enter an order increasing | ||||||
25 | the amount of bail or alter the conditions of bail as deemed | ||||||
26 | appropriate. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) Where the alleged violation consists of the violation | ||||||
2 | of one or more felony statutes of any jurisdiction which would | ||||||
3 | be a forcible felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or greater | ||||||
4 | offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the | ||||||
5 | Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and | ||||||
6 | Community Protection Act and the defendant is on bail for the | ||||||
7 | alleged commission of a felony, or where the defendant is on | ||||||
8 | bail for a felony domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to | ||||||
9 | subsection (b) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | ||||||
10 | or the Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated domestic battery, | ||||||
11 | aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated unlawful | ||||||
12 | restraint or domestic battery in violation of item (1) of | ||||||
13 | subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | ||||||
14 | or the Criminal Code of 2012 against a family or household | ||||||
15 | member as defined in Section 112A-3 of this Code and the | ||||||
16 | violation is an offense of domestic battery against the same | ||||||
17 | victim the court shall, on the motion of the State or its own | ||||||
18 | motion, revoke bail in accordance with the following | ||||||
19 | provisions: | ||||||
20 | (1) The court shall hold the defendant without bail | ||||||
21 | pending the hearing on the alleged breach; however, if the | ||||||
22 | defendant is not admitted to bail the hearing shall be | ||||||
23 | commenced within 10 days from the date the defendant is | ||||||
24 | taken into custody or the defendant may not be held any | ||||||
25 | longer without bail, unless delay is occasioned by the | ||||||
26 | defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and | ||||||
2 | resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where | ||||||
3 | defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days | ||||||
4 | remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a | ||||||
5 | period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good | ||||||
6 | cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the right to | ||||||
7 | proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time, | ||||||
8 | upon reasonable notice to the defendant and the court. | ||||||
9 | (2) At a hearing on the alleged violation the State | ||||||
10 | has the burden of going forward and proving the violation | ||||||
11 | by clear and convincing evidence. The evidence shall be | ||||||
12 | presented in open court with the opportunity to testify, | ||||||
13 | to present witnesses in his behalf, and to cross-examine | ||||||
14 | witnesses if any are called by the State, and | ||||||
15 | representation by counsel and if the defendant is indigent | ||||||
16 | to have counsel appointed for him. The rules of evidence | ||||||
17 | applicable in criminal trials in this State shall not | ||||||
18 | govern the admissibility of evidence at such hearing. | ||||||
19 | Information used by the court in its findings or stated in | ||||||
20 | or offered in connection with hearings for increase or | ||||||
21 | revocation of bail may be by way of proffer based upon | ||||||
22 | reliable information offered by the State or defendant. | ||||||
23 | All evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and | ||||||
24 | reliable regardless of whether it would be admissible | ||||||
25 | under the rules of evidence applicable at criminal trials. | ||||||
26 | A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence or to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | suppress a confession shall not be entertained at such a | ||||||
2 | hearing. Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a | ||||||
3 | result of an unlawful search and seizure or through | ||||||
4 | improper interrogation is not relevant to this hearing. | ||||||
5 | (3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has | ||||||
6 | established by clear and convincing evidence that the | ||||||
7 | defendant has committed a forcible felony or a Class 2 or | ||||||
8 | greater offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances | ||||||
9 | Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine | ||||||
10 | Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to | ||||||
11 | bail, or where the defendant is on bail for a felony | ||||||
12 | domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to subsection (b) of | ||||||
13 | Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
14 | Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated domestic battery, | ||||||
15 | aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated | ||||||
16 | unlawful restraint or domestic battery in violation of | ||||||
17 | item (1) of subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the | ||||||
18 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 against | ||||||
19 | a family or household member as defined in Section 112A-3 | ||||||
20 | of this Code and the violation is an offense of domestic | ||||||
21 | battery, against the same victim, the court shall revoke | ||||||
22 | the bail of the defendant and hold the defendant for trial | ||||||
23 | without bail. Neither the finding of the court nor any | ||||||
24 | transcript or other record of the hearing shall be | ||||||
25 | admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be | ||||||
26 | admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 115-10.1 of this Code or in a perjury proceeding. | ||||||
2 | (4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant | ||||||
3 | to paragraph (f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may | ||||||
4 | demand and shall be entitled to be brought to trial on the | ||||||
5 | offense with respect to which he was formerly released on | ||||||
6 | bail within 90 days after the date on which his bail was | ||||||
7 | revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within | ||||||
8 | the 90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he | ||||||
9 | shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the 90 | ||||||
10 | day period, the court shall omit any period of delay | ||||||
11 | resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the | ||||||
12 | defendant. | ||||||
13 | (5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant | ||||||
14 | issued pursuant to this Code or is arrested for an | ||||||
15 | unrelated offense and it is subsequently discovered that | ||||||
16 | the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants | ||||||
17 | issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be | ||||||
18 | transferred promptly to the court which issued such | ||||||
19 | warrant. If, however, the defendant appears initially | ||||||
20 | before a court other than the court which issued such | ||||||
21 | warrant, the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount | ||||||
22 | of bail set on such warrant unless the court sets forth on | ||||||
23 | the record of proceedings the conclusions of law and facts | ||||||
24 | which are the basis for such altering of another court's | ||||||
25 | bond. The non-issuing court shall not alter another | ||||||
26 | court's bail set on a warrant unless the interests of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | justice and public safety are served by such action. | ||||||
2 | (g) The State may appeal any order where the court has | ||||||
3 | increased or reduced the amount of bail or altered the | ||||||
4 | conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has | ||||||
5 | previously been revoked. | ||||||
6 | (a) When a defendant has previously been granted pretrial | ||||||
7 | release under this Section for a felony or Class A | ||||||
8 | misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked only if the | ||||||
9 | defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that | ||||||
10 | is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial | ||||||
11 | release after a hearing on the court's own motion or upon the | ||||||
12 | filing of a verified petition by the State. | ||||||
13 | When a defendant released pretrial is charged with a | ||||||
14 | violation of a protective order or was previously convicted of | ||||||
15 | a violation of a protective order and the subject of the | ||||||
16 | protective order is the same person as the victim in the | ||||||
17 | current underlying matter, the State shall file a verified | ||||||
18 | petition seeking revocation of pretrial release. | ||||||
19 | Upon the filing of a petition or upon motion of the court | ||||||
20 | seeking revocation, the court shall order the transfer of the | ||||||
21 | defendant and the petition or motion to the court before which | ||||||
22 | the previous felony or Class A misdemeanor is pending. The | ||||||
23 | defendant may be held in custody pending transfer to and a | ||||||
24 | hearing before such court. The defendant shall be transferred | ||||||
25 | to the court before which the previous matter is pending | ||||||
26 | without unnecessary delay, and the revocation hearing shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | occur within 72 hours of the filing of the State's petition or | ||||||
2 | the court's motion for revocation. | ||||||
3 | A hearing at which pretrial release may be revoked must be | ||||||
4 | conducted in person (and not by way of two-way audio-visual | ||||||
5 | communication) unless the accused waives the right to be | ||||||
6 | present physically in court, the court determines that the | ||||||
7 | physical health and safety of any person necessary to the | ||||||
8 | proceedings would be endangered by appearing in court, or the | ||||||
9 | chief judge of the circuit orders use of that system due to | ||||||
10 | operational challenges in conducting the hearing in person. | ||||||
11 | Such operational challenges must be documented and approved by | ||||||
12 | the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the | ||||||
13 | challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented and | ||||||
14 | approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts | ||||||
15 | every 6 months. | ||||||
16 | The court before which the previous felony matter or Class | ||||||
17 | A misdemeanor is pending may revoke the defendant's pretrial | ||||||
18 | release after a hearing. During the hearing for revocation, | ||||||
19 | the defendant shall be represented by counsel and have an | ||||||
20 | opportunity to be heard regarding the violation and evidence | ||||||
21 | in mitigation. The court shall consider all relevant | ||||||
22 | circumstances, including, but not limited to, the nature and | ||||||
23 | seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged. The | ||||||
24 | State shall bear the burden of proving, by clear and | ||||||
25 | convincing evidence, that no condition or combination of | ||||||
26 | conditions of release would reasonably ensure the appearance |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the defendant for later hearings or prevent the defendant | ||||||
2 | from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class A | ||||||
3 | misdemeanor. | ||||||
4 | In lieu of revocation, the court may release the defendant | ||||||
5 | pre-trial, with or without modification of conditions of | ||||||
6 | pretrial release. | ||||||
7 | If the case that caused the revocation is dismissed, the | ||||||
8 | defendant is found not guilty in the case causing the | ||||||
9 | revocation, or the defendant completes a lawfully imposed | ||||||
10 | sentence on the case causing the revocation, the court shall, | ||||||
11 | without unnecessary delay, hold a hearing on conditions of | ||||||
12 | pretrial release pursuant to Section 110-5 and release the | ||||||
13 | defendant with or without modification of conditions of | ||||||
14 | pretrial release. | ||||||
15 | Both the State and the defendant may appeal an order | ||||||
16 | revoking pretrial release or denying a petition for revocation | ||||||
17 | of release. | ||||||
18 | (b) If a defendant previously has been granted pretrial | ||||||
19 | release under this Section for a Class B or Class C misdemeanor | ||||||
20 | offense, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance | ||||||
21 | violation and if the defendant is subsequently charged with a | ||||||
22 | felony that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's | ||||||
23 | pretrial release or a Class A misdemeanor offense that is | ||||||
24 | alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial | ||||||
25 | release, such pretrial release may not be revoked, but the | ||||||
26 | court may impose sanctions under subsection (c). |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The court shall follow the procedures set forth in | ||||||
2 | Section 110-3 to ensure the defendant's appearance in court if | ||||||
3 | the defendant: | ||||||
4 | (1) fails to appear in court as required by the | ||||||
5 | defendant's conditions of release; | ||||||
6 | (2) is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor | ||||||
7 | offense that is alleged to have occurred during the | ||||||
8 | defendant's pretrial release after having been previously | ||||||
9 | granted pretrial release for a Class B or Class C | ||||||
10 | misdemeanor, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance | ||||||
11 | violation that is alleged to have occurred during the | ||||||
12 | defendant's pretrial release; | ||||||
13 | (3) is charged with a Class B or C misdemeanor | ||||||
14 | offense, petty or business offense, or ordinance violation | ||||||
15 | that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's | ||||||
16 | pretrial release; or | ||||||
17 | (4) violates any other condition of pretrial release | ||||||
18 | set by the court. | ||||||
19 | In response to a violation described in this subsection, | ||||||
20 | the court may issue a warrant specifying that the defendant | ||||||
21 | must appear before the court for a hearing for sanctions and | ||||||
22 | may not be released by law enforcement before that appearance. | ||||||
23 | (d) When a defendant appears in court pursuant to a | ||||||
24 | summons or warrant issued in accordance with Section 110-3 or | ||||||
25 | after being arrested for an offense that is alleged to have | ||||||
26 | occurred during the defendant's pretrial release, the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may file a verified petition requesting a hearing for | ||||||
2 | sanctions. | ||||||
3 | (e) During the hearing for sanctions, the defendant shall | ||||||
4 | be represented by counsel and have an opportunity to be heard | ||||||
5 | regarding the violation and evidence in mitigation. The State | ||||||
6 | shall bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing | ||||||
7 | evidence that: | ||||||
8 | (1) the defendant committed an act that violated a | ||||||
9 | term of the defendant's pretrial release; | ||||||
10 | (2) the defendant had actual knowledge that the | ||||||
11 | defendant's action would violate a court order; | ||||||
12 | (3) the violation of the court order was willful; and | ||||||
13 | (4) the violation was not caused by a lack of access to | ||||||
14 | financial monetary resources. | ||||||
15 | (f) Sanctions for violations of pretrial release may | ||||||
16 | include: | ||||||
17 | (1) a verbal or written admonishment from the court; | ||||||
18 | (2) imprisonment in the county jail for a period not | ||||||
19 | exceeding 30 days; | ||||||
20 | (3) (Blank); or | ||||||
21 | (4) a modification of the defendant's pretrial | ||||||
22 | conditions. | ||||||
23 | (g) The court may, at any time, after motion by either | ||||||
24 | party or on its own motion, remove previously set conditions | ||||||
25 | of pretrial release, subject to the provisions in this | ||||||
26 | subsection. The court may only add or increase conditions of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pretrial release at a hearing under this Section. | ||||||
2 | The court shall not remove a previously set condition of | ||||||
3 | pretrial release regulating contact with a victim or witness | ||||||
4 | in the case, unless the subject of the condition has been given | ||||||
5 | notice of the hearing as required in paragraph (1) of | ||||||
6 | subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims | ||||||
7 | and Witnesses Act. If the subject of the condition of release | ||||||
8 | is not present, the court shall follow the procedures of | ||||||
9 | paragraph (10) of subsection (c-1) of the Rights of Crime | ||||||
10 | Victims and Witnesses Act. | ||||||
11 | (h) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's | ||||||
12 | Attorney's office of all hearings under this Section as | ||||||
13 | required in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of | ||||||
14 | the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act and shall be | ||||||
15 | informed of their opportunity at these hearings to obtain a | ||||||
16 | protective order. | ||||||
17 | (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit | ||||||
18 | the State's ability to file a verified petition seeking denial | ||||||
19 | of pretrial release under subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1 or | ||||||
20 | subdivision (d)(2) of Section 110-6.1. | ||||||
21 | (j) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant before | ||||||
22 | the court, the judge must find that continued detention under | ||||||
23 | this Section is necessary to reasonably ensure the appearance | ||||||
24 | of the defendant for later hearings or to prevent the | ||||||
25 | defendant from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class | ||||||
26 | A misdemeanor. |

3 | Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony | ||||||
4 | offenses pretrial release . | ||||||
5 | (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall | ||||||
6 | hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a | ||||||
7 | defendant who is charged with a felony offense for which a | ||||||
8 | sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic | ||||||
9 | imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon | ||||||
10 | conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission | ||||||
11 | to bail poses a real and present threat to the physical safety | ||||||
12 | of any person or persons. | ||||||
13 | (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to | ||||||
14 | the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or | ||||||
15 | within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section | ||||||
16 | 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon | ||||||
17 | reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such | ||||||
18 | petition is pending before the court, the defendant if | ||||||
19 | previously released shall not be detained. | ||||||
20 | (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the | ||||||
21 | defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good | ||||||
22 | cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a | ||||||
23 | continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may | ||||||
24 | not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the | ||||||
25 | motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defendant may be held in custody during such continuance. | ||||||
2 | (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after | ||||||
3 | the hearing, it is determined that: | ||||||
4 | (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | ||||||
5 | the defendant has committed an offense for which a | ||||||
6 | sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic | ||||||
7 | imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed by | ||||||
8 | law as a consequence of conviction, and | ||||||
9 | (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to | ||||||
10 | the physical safety of any person or persons, by conduct | ||||||
11 | which may include, but is not limited to, a forcible | ||||||
12 | felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation, injury, | ||||||
13 | physical harm, an offense under the Illinois Controlled | ||||||
14 | Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense | ||||||
15 | under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection | ||||||
16 | Act which is a Class X felony, and | ||||||
17 | (3) the court finds that no condition or combination | ||||||
18 | of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
19 | 110-10 of this Article, can reasonably assure the physical | ||||||
20 | safety of any other person or persons. | ||||||
21 | (c) Conduct of the hearings. | ||||||
22 | (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and | ||||||
23 | dangerousness shall be conducted in accordance with the | ||||||
24 | following provisions: | ||||||
25 | (A) Information used by the court in its findings or | ||||||
26 | stated in or offered at such hearing may be by way of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proffer based upon reliable information offered by the | ||||||
2 | State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to be | ||||||
3 | represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to have | ||||||
4 | counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have the | ||||||
5 | opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in his | ||||||
6 | own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any are | ||||||
7 | called by the State. The defendant has the right to | ||||||
8 | present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of | ||||||
9 | justice so require, the court may exercise its | ||||||
10 | discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining | ||||||
11 | witness. The court shall state on the record reasons | ||||||
12 | for granting a defense request to compel the presence | ||||||
13 | of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a | ||||||
14 | complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing | ||||||
15 | for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility | ||||||
16 | is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the | ||||||
17 | witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance | ||||||
18 | of a complaining witness, the court shall be | ||||||
19 | considerate of the emotional and physical well-being | ||||||
20 | of the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not | ||||||
21 | to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post | ||||||
22 | arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State | ||||||
23 | shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing, | ||||||
24 | copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if | ||||||
25 | available, and any written or recorded statements and | ||||||
26 | the substance of any oral statements made by any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person, if relied upon by the State in its petition. | ||||||
2 | The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in | ||||||
3 | criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | ||||||
4 | consideration of information at the hearing. At the | ||||||
5 | trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was | ||||||
6 | conducted neither the finding of the court nor any | ||||||
7 | transcript or other record of the hearing shall be | ||||||
8 | admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be | ||||||
9 | admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section | ||||||
10 | 115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding. | ||||||
11 | (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence or | ||||||
12 | to suppress a confession shall not be entertained. | ||||||
13 | Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the | ||||||
14 | result of an unlawful search and seizure or through | ||||||
15 | improper interrogation is not relevant to this state | ||||||
16 | of the prosecution. | ||||||
17 | (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a | ||||||
18 | finding that the defendant poses a real and present threat | ||||||
19 | to the physical safety of any person or persons shall be | ||||||
20 | supported by clear and convincing evidence presented by | ||||||
21 | the State. | ||||||
22 | (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | ||||||
23 | dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the | ||||||
24 | defendant poses a real and present threat to the physical | ||||||
25 | safety of any person or persons, consider but shall not be | ||||||
26 | limited to evidence or testimony concerning: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense | ||||||
2 | charged, including whether the offense is a crime of | ||||||
3 | violence, involving a weapon. | ||||||
4 | (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | ||||||
5 | including: | ||||||
6 | (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | ||||||
7 | history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive | ||||||
8 | behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may | ||||||
9 | include testimony or documents received in juvenile | ||||||
10 | proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil | ||||||
11 | commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings. | ||||||
12 | (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | ||||||
13 | psychiatric or other similar social history which | ||||||
14 | tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive | ||||||
15 | nature, or lack of any such history. | ||||||
16 | (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose | ||||||
17 | safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the | ||||||
18 | nature of the threat; | ||||||
19 | (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the | ||||||
20 | defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding | ||||||
21 | them; | ||||||
22 | (5) The age and physical condition of any person | ||||||
23 | assaulted by the defendant; | ||||||
24 | (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have | ||||||
25 | access to any weapon or weapons; | ||||||
26 | (7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation, | ||||||
2 | parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or | ||||||
3 | other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, | ||||||
4 | appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under | ||||||
5 | federal or state law; | ||||||
6 | (8) Any other factors, including those listed in | ||||||
7 | Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a | ||||||
8 | reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or | ||||||
9 | reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or | ||||||
10 | lack of such behavior. | ||||||
11 | (e) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for | ||||||
12 | detention: | ||||||
13 | (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's | ||||||
14 | culpability and its reasons for concluding that the | ||||||
15 | defendant should be held without bail; | ||||||
16 | (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the | ||||||
17 | custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail | ||||||
18 | pending trial; | ||||||
19 | (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable | ||||||
20 | opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for | ||||||
21 | communication with others of his choice by visitation, | ||||||
22 | mail and telephone; and | ||||||
23 | (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as | ||||||
24 | required for appearances in connection with court | ||||||
25 | proceedings. | ||||||
26 | (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the | ||||||
2 | defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he | ||||||
3 | is detained within 90 days after the date on which the order | ||||||
4 | for detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to | ||||||
5 | trial within the 90 day period required by the preceding | ||||||
6 | sentence, he shall not be held longer without bail. In | ||||||
7 | computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of | ||||||
8 | delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of | ||||||
9 | the defendant. | ||||||
10 | (g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled | ||||||
11 | to appeal any order entered under this Section denying bail to | ||||||
12 | the defendant. | ||||||
13 | (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this | ||||||
14 | Section denying any motion for denial of bail. | ||||||
15 | (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as | ||||||
16 | modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption | ||||||
17 | of innocence in further criminal proceedings. | ||||||
18 | (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall | ||||||
19 | hold a hearing and may deny a defendant pretrial release only | ||||||
20 | if: | ||||||
21 | (1) the defendant is charged with a felony offense | ||||||
22 | other than a forcible felony for which, based on the | ||||||
23 | charge or the defendant's criminal history, a sentence of | ||||||
24 | imprisonment, without probation, periodic imprisonment or | ||||||
25 | conditional discharge, is required by law upon conviction, | ||||||
26 | and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | poses a real and present threat to the safety of any person | ||||||
2 | or persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
3 | articulable facts of the case; | ||||||
4 | (1.5) the defendant's pretrial release poses a real | ||||||
5 | and present threat to the safety of any person or persons | ||||||
6 | or the community, based on the specific articulable facts | ||||||
7 | of the case, and the defendant is charged with a forcible | ||||||
8 | felony, which as used in this Section, means treason, | ||||||
9 | first degree murder, second degree murder, predatory | ||||||
10 | criminal sexual assault of a child, aggravated criminal | ||||||
11 | sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, armed robbery, | ||||||
12 | aggravated robbery, robbery, burglary where there is use | ||||||
13 | of force against another person, residential burglary, | ||||||
14 | home invasion, vehicular invasion, aggravated arson, | ||||||
15 | arson, aggravated kidnaping, kidnaping, aggravated battery | ||||||
16 | resulting in great bodily harm or permanent disability or | ||||||
17 | disfigurement or any other felony which involves the | ||||||
18 | threat of or infliction of great bodily harm or permanent | ||||||
19 | disability or disfigurement; | ||||||
20 | (2) the defendant is charged with stalking or | ||||||
21 | aggravated stalking, and it is alleged that the | ||||||
22 | defendant's pre-trial release poses a real and present | ||||||
23 | threat to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense, | ||||||
24 | and denial of release is necessary to prevent fulfillment | ||||||
25 | of the threat upon which the charge is based; | ||||||
26 | (3) the defendant is charged with a violation of an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | order of protection issued under Section 112A-14 of this | ||||||
2 | Code or Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act | ||||||
3 | of 1986, a stalking no contact order under Section 80 of | ||||||
4 | the Stalking No Contact Order Act, or of a civil no contact | ||||||
5 | order under Section 213 of the Civil No Contact Order Act, | ||||||
6 | and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release | ||||||
7 | poses a real and present threat to the safety of any person | ||||||
8 | or persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
9 | articulable facts of the case; | ||||||
10 | (4) the defendant is charged with domestic battery or | ||||||
11 | aggravated domestic battery under Section 12-3.2 or 12-3.3 | ||||||

13 | defendant's pretrial release poses a real and present | ||||||
14 | threat to the safety of any person or persons or the | ||||||
15 | community, based on the specific articulable facts of the | ||||||
16 | case; | ||||||
17 | (5) the defendant is charged with any offense under | ||||||
18 | Article 11 of the Criminal Code of 2012, except for | ||||||
19 | Sections 11-14, 11-14.1, 11-18, 11-20, 11-30, 11-35, | ||||||
20 | 11-40, and 11-45 of the Criminal Code of 2012, or similar | ||||||
21 | provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 and it is alleged | ||||||
22 | that the defendant's pretrial release poses a real and | ||||||
23 | present threat to the safety of any person or persons or | ||||||
24 | the community, based on the specific articulable facts of | ||||||
25 | the case; | ||||||
26 | (6) the defendant is charged with any of the following |
| |||||||

24 | (aggravated battery with a deadly weapon other than by | ||||||
25 | discharge of a firearm); | ||||||
26 | (6.5) the defendant is charged with any of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | following offenses, and it is alleged that the defendant's | ||||||
2 | pretrial release poses a real and present threat to the | ||||||
3 | safety of any person or persons or the community, based on | ||||||
4 | the specific articulable facts of the case: | ||||||
5 | (A) Felony violations of Sections 3.01, 3.02, or | ||||||

8 | (B) Subdivision (d)(1)(B) of Section 11-501 of the | ||||||
9 | Illinois Vehicle Code (aggravated driving under the | ||||||
10 | influence while operating a school bus with | ||||||
11 | passengers); | ||||||

26 | (7) the defendant is charged with an attempt to commit |
| |||||||
| |||||||

3 | real and present threat to the safety of any person or | ||||||
4 | persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
5 | articulable facts of the case; or | ||||||
6 | (8) the person has a high likelihood of willful flight | ||||||

8 | (A) Any felony described in subdivisions (a)(1) | ||||||
9 | through (a)(7) of this Section; or | ||||||
10 | (B) A felony offense other than a Class 4 offense. | ||||||
11 | (b) If the charged offense is a felony, as part of the | ||||||
12 | detention hearing, the court shall determine whether there is | ||||||
13 | probable cause the defendant has committed an offense, unless | ||||||
14 | a hearing pursuant to Section 109-3 of this Code has already | ||||||
15 | been held or a grand jury has returned a true bill of | ||||||
16 | indictment against the defendant. If there is a finding of no | ||||||
17 | probable cause, the defendant shall be released. No such | ||||||
18 | finding is necessary if the defendant is charged with a | ||||||
19 | misdemeanor. | ||||||
20 | (c) Timing of petition. | ||||||
21 | (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to | ||||||
22 | the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or | ||||||
23 | within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section | ||||||
24 | 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon | ||||||
25 | reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such | ||||||
26 | petition is pending before the court, the defendant if |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | previously released shall not be detained. | ||||||
2 | (2) Upon filing, the court shall immediately hold a | ||||||
3 | hearing on the petition unless a continuance is requested. | ||||||
4 | If a continuance is requested and granted, the hearing | ||||||
5 | shall be held within 48 hours of the defendant's first | ||||||
6 | appearance if the defendant is charged with first degree | ||||||
7 | murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony, | ||||||
8 | and within 24 hours if the defendant is charged with a | ||||||
9 | Class 4 or misdemeanor offense. The Court may deny or | ||||||
10 | grant the request for continuance. If the court decides to | ||||||
11 | grant the continuance, the Court retains the discretion to | ||||||
12 | detain or release the defendant in the time between the | ||||||
13 | filing of the petition and the hearing. | ||||||
14 | (d) Contents of petition. | ||||||
15 | (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and | ||||||
16 | shall state the grounds upon which it contends the | ||||||
17 | defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the | ||||||
18 | real and present threat to the safety of any person or | ||||||
19 | persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
20 | articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate. | ||||||
21 | (2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent | ||||||
22 | petition under this Section, the State shall be required | ||||||
23 | to present a verified application setting forth in detail | ||||||
24 | any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the | ||||||
25 | filing of the previous petition. | ||||||
26 | (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of | ||||||
2 | proving by clear and convincing evidence that: | ||||||
3 | (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | ||||||
4 | the defendant has committed an offense listed in | ||||||
5 | subsection (a), and | ||||||
6 | (2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) | ||||||
7 | of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present | ||||||
8 | threat to the safety of any person or persons or the | ||||||
9 | community, based on the specific articulable facts of the | ||||||
10 | case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to, | ||||||
11 | a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice, | ||||||
12 | intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) | ||||||
13 | of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of | ||||||
14 | 1986, and | ||||||
15 | (3) no condition or combination of conditions set | ||||||
16 | forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article | ||||||
17 | can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety | ||||||
18 | of any person or persons or the community, based on the | ||||||
19 | specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses | ||||||
20 | listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or | ||||||
21 | (ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in | ||||||
22 | paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and | ||||||
23 | (4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407 | ||||||
24 | of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject | ||||||
25 | to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or | ||||||
26 | combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and | ||||||
2 | present threat to the safety of any person or persons or | ||||||
3 | the community, based on the specific articulable facts of | ||||||
4 | the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not | ||||||
5 | appear in court as required. | ||||||
6 | (f) Conduct of the hearings. | ||||||
7 | (1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to | ||||||
8 | the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history | ||||||
9 | available, any written or recorded statements, and the | ||||||
10 | substance of any oral statements made by any person, if | ||||||
11 | relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police | ||||||
12 | reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the | ||||||
13 | hearing. | ||||||
14 | (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the | ||||||
15 | hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information. | ||||||
16 | (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by | ||||||
17 | counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel | ||||||
18 | appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the | ||||||
19 | opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her | ||||||
20 | own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are | ||||||
21 | called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given | ||||||
22 | adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before | ||||||
23 | any hearing at which conditions of release or the | ||||||
24 | detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an | ||||||
25 | accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate | ||||||
26 | attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing | ||||||
2 | conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system, | ||||||
3 | such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be | ||||||
4 | undertaken consistent with constitutional protections. | ||||||
5 | (3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be | ||||||
6 | denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of | ||||||
7 | two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused | ||||||
8 | waives the right to be present physically in court, the | ||||||
9 | court determines that the physical health and safety of | ||||||
10 | any person necessary to the proceedings would be | ||||||
11 | endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of | ||||||
12 | the circuit orders use of that system due to operational | ||||||
13 | challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such | ||||||
14 | operational challenges must be documented and approved by | ||||||
15 | the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the | ||||||
16 | challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented | ||||||
17 | and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois | ||||||
18 | Courts every 6 months. | ||||||
19 | (4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining | ||||||
20 | witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall | ||||||
21 | petition the court for permission. When the ends of | ||||||
22 | justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion | ||||||
23 | and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The | ||||||
24 | court shall state on the record reasons for granting a | ||||||
25 | defense request to compel the presence of a complaining | ||||||
26 | witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | detention. In making a determination under this Section, | ||||||
2 | the court shall state on the record the reason for | ||||||
3 | granting a defense request to compel the presence of a | ||||||
4 | complaining witness, and only grant the request if the | ||||||
5 | court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the | ||||||
6 | defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining | ||||||
7 | witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a | ||||||
8 | complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for | ||||||
9 | the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is | ||||||
10 | insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness. | ||||||
11 | In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a | ||||||
12 | complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the | ||||||
13 | emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The | ||||||
14 | pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes | ||||||
15 | of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery | ||||||
16 | do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant, | ||||||
17 | prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's | ||||||
18 | criminal history, if available, and any written or | ||||||
19 | recorded statements and the substance of any oral | ||||||
20 | statements made by any person, if in the State's | ||||||
21 | Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing. | ||||||
22 | (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence | ||||||
23 | in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | ||||||
24 | consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial | ||||||
25 | concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted | ||||||
26 | neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the | ||||||
2 | State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for | ||||||
3 | impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this | ||||||
4 | Code, or in a perjury proceeding. | ||||||
5 | (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or | ||||||
6 | a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged | ||||||
7 | crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or | ||||||
8 | seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is | ||||||
9 | relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against | ||||||
10 | the defendant. | ||||||
11 | (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of | ||||||
12 | release, and detention prior to trial must be | ||||||
13 | individualized, and no single factor or standard may be | ||||||
14 | used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools | ||||||
15 | may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release. | ||||||
16 | (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | ||||||
17 | dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the | ||||||
18 | defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any | ||||||
19 | person or persons or the community, based on the specific | ||||||
20 | articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be | ||||||
21 | limited to, evidence or testimony concerning: | ||||||
22 | (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense | ||||||
23 | charged, including whether the offense is a crime of | ||||||
24 | violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense. | ||||||
25 | (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | ||||||
26 | including: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | ||||||
2 | history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive | ||||||
3 | behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may | ||||||
4 | include testimony or documents received in juvenile | ||||||
5 | proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil | ||||||
6 | commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings. | ||||||
7 | (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | ||||||
8 | psychiatric or other similar social history which | ||||||
9 | tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive | ||||||
10 | nature, or lack of any such history. | ||||||
11 | (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose | ||||||
12 | safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the | ||||||
13 | nature of the threat. | ||||||
14 | (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the | ||||||
15 | defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding | ||||||
16 | them. | ||||||
17 | (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant. | ||||||
18 | (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or | ||||||
19 | complaining witness. | ||||||
20 | (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have | ||||||
21 | access to any weapon or weapons. | ||||||
22 | (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any | ||||||
23 | other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation, | ||||||
24 | parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or | ||||||
25 | other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, | ||||||
26 | appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | federal or state law. | ||||||
2 | (9) Any other factors, including those listed in | ||||||
3 | Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a | ||||||
4 | reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or | ||||||
5 | reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior, | ||||||
6 | or lack of such behavior. | ||||||
7 | (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for | ||||||
8 | detention: | ||||||
9 | (1) make a written finding summarizing the court's | ||||||
10 | reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied | ||||||
11 | pretrial release, including why less restrictive | ||||||
12 | conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to | ||||||
13 | the safety of any person or persons or the community, | ||||||
14 | based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or | ||||||
15 | prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution; | ||||||
16 | (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the | ||||||
17 | custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail | ||||||
18 | pending trial; | ||||||
19 | (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable | ||||||
20 | opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for | ||||||
21 | communication with others of his or her choice by | ||||||
22 | visitation, mail and telephone; and | ||||||
23 | (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as | ||||||
24 | required for appearances in connection with court | ||||||
25 | proceedings. | ||||||
26 | (i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this | ||||||
2 | Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the | ||||||
3 | offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date | ||||||
4 | on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant | ||||||
5 | is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by | ||||||
6 | the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial | ||||||
7 | release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit | ||||||
8 | any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at | ||||||
9 | the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting | ||||||
10 | from a continuance granted at the request of the State with | ||||||
11 | good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5. | ||||||
12 | (i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant | ||||||
13 | before the court, the judge must find that continued detention | ||||||
14 | is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety | ||||||
15 | of any person or persons or the community, based on the | ||||||
16 | specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the | ||||||
17 | defendant's willful flight from prosecution. | ||||||
18 | (j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be | ||||||
19 | entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section | ||||||
20 | denying his or her pretrial release. | ||||||
21 | (k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under | ||||||
22 | this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial | ||||||
23 | release. | ||||||
24 | (l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section | ||||||
25 | shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the | ||||||
26 | defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceedings. | ||||||
2 | (m) Interest of victims. | ||||||
3 | (1) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's | ||||||
4 | Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1) | ||||||
5 | of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims | ||||||
6 | and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity | ||||||
7 | at this hearing to obtain a protective order. | ||||||
8 | (2) If the defendant is denied pretrial release, the court | ||||||
9 | may impose a no contact provision with the victim or other | ||||||
10 | interested party that shall be enforced while the defendant | ||||||
11 | remains in custody. | ||||||

15 | (a) The court may order that a person who has been found | ||||||
16 | guilty of an offense and who is waiting imposition or | ||||||
17 | execution of sentence be held without bond release unless the | ||||||
18 | court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person | ||||||
19 | is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or | ||||||
20 | the community if released under Sections 110-5 and 110-10 of | ||||||
21 | this Act. | ||||||
22 | (b) The court may order that person who has been found | ||||||
23 | guilty of an offense and sentenced to a term of imprisonment be | ||||||
24 | held without bond release unless the court finds by clear and | ||||||
25 | convincing evidence that: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger | ||||||
2 | to the safety of any other person or the community if | ||||||
3 | released on bond pending appeal; and | ||||||
4 | (2) that the appeal is not for purpose of delay and | ||||||
5 | raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to | ||||||
6 | result in reversal or an order for a new trial. | ||||||

9 | Sec. 110-6.4. Statewide risk-assessment tool. The Supreme | ||||||
10 | Court may establish a statewide risk-assessment tool to be | ||||||
11 | used in proceedings to assist the court in establishing bail | ||||||
12 | conditions of pretrial release for a defendant by assessing | ||||||
13 | the defendant's likelihood of appearing at future court | ||||||
14 | proceedings or determining if the defendant poses a real and | ||||||
15 | present threat to the physical safety of any person or | ||||||
16 | persons. The Supreme Court shall consider establishing a | ||||||
17 | risk-assessment tool that does not discriminate on the basis | ||||||
18 | of race, gender, educational level, socio-economic status, or | ||||||
19 | neighborhood. If a risk-assessment tool is utilized within a | ||||||
20 | circuit that does not require a personal interview to be | ||||||
21 | completed, the Chief Judge of the circuit or the director of | ||||||
22 | the pretrial services agency may exempt the requirement under | ||||||
23 | Section 9 and subsection (a) of Section 7 of the Pretrial | ||||||
24 | Services Act. | ||||||
25 | For the purpose of this Section, "risk-assessment tool" |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | means an empirically validated, evidence-based screening | ||||||
2 | instrument that demonstrates reduced instances of a | ||||||
3 | defendant's failure to appear for further court proceedings or | ||||||
4 | prevents future criminal activity. | ||||||

9 | (a) If a person is released prior to conviction, either | ||||||
10 | upon payment of bail security or on his or her own | ||||||
11 | recognizance, the conditions of the bail bond pretrial release | ||||||
12 | shall be that he or she will: | ||||||
13 | (1) Appear to answer the charge in the court having | ||||||
14 | jurisdiction on a day certain and thereafter as ordered by | ||||||
15 | the court until discharged or final order of the court; | ||||||
16 | (2) Submit himself or herself to the orders and | ||||||
17 | process of the court; | ||||||
18 | (3) (Blank); | ||||||
19 | (3.1) Not depart this State without leave of the | ||||||
20 | court; | ||||||
21 | (4) Not violate any criminal statute of any | ||||||
22 | jurisdiction; | ||||||
23 | (5) At a time and place designated by the court, | ||||||
24 | surrender all firearms in his or her possession to a law | ||||||
25 | enforcement officer designated by the court to take |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | custody of and impound the firearms and physically | ||||||
2 | surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
3 | to the clerk of the circuit court when the offense the | ||||||
4 | person has been charged with is a forcible felony, | ||||||
5 | stalking, aggravated stalking, domestic battery, any | ||||||
6 | violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the | ||||||
7 | Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or | ||||||
8 | the Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a Class 2 or | ||||||
9 | greater felony, or any felony violation of Article 24 of | ||||||
10 | the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; the | ||||||
11 | court may, however, forgo the imposition of this condition | ||||||
12 | when the circumstances of the case clearly do not warrant | ||||||
13 | it or when its imposition would be impractical; if the | ||||||
14 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card is confiscated, the | ||||||
15 | clerk of the circuit court shall mail the confiscated card | ||||||
16 | to the Illinois State Police; all legally possessed | ||||||
17 | firearms shall be returned to the person upon the charges | ||||||
18 | being dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty, | ||||||
19 | unless the finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; | ||||||
20 | and | ||||||
21 | (6) At a time and place designated by the court, | ||||||
22 | submit to a psychological evaluation when the person has | ||||||
23 | been charged with a violation of item (4) of subsection | ||||||
24 | (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
25 | Criminal Code of 2012 and that violation occurred in a | ||||||
26 | school or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by a school to transport students to or from school or a | ||||||
2 | school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000 | ||||||
3 | feet of real property comprising any school. | ||||||
4 | Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to this Section | ||||||
5 | shall be completed promptly and made available to the State, | ||||||
6 | the defendant, and the court. As a further condition of bail | ||||||
7 | pretrial release under these circumstances, the court shall | ||||||
8 | order the defendant to refrain from entering upon the property | ||||||
9 | of the school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or | ||||||
10 | contracted by a school to transport students to or from school | ||||||
11 | or a school-related activity, or on any public way within | ||||||
12 | 1,000 feet of real property comprising any school. Upon | ||||||
13 | receipt of the psychological evaluation, either the State or | ||||||
14 | the defendant may request a change in the conditions of bail | ||||||
15 | pretrial release , pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code. The | ||||||
16 | court may change the conditions of bail pretrial release to | ||||||
17 | include a requirement that the defendant follow the | ||||||
18 | recommendations of the psychological evaluation, including | ||||||
19 | undergoing psychiatric treatment. The conclusions of the | ||||||
20 | psychological evaluation and any statements elicited from the | ||||||
21 | defendant during its administration are not admissible as | ||||||
22 | evidence of guilt during the course of any trial on the charged | ||||||
23 | offense, unless the defendant places his or her mental | ||||||
24 | competency in issue. | ||||||
25 | (b) The court may impose other conditions, such as the | ||||||
26 | following, if the court finds that such conditions are |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonably necessary to assure the defendant's appearance in | ||||||
2 | court, protect the public from the defendant, or prevent the | ||||||
3 | defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly | ||||||
4 | administration of justice: | ||||||
5 | (1) Report to or appear in person before such person | ||||||
6 | or agency as the court may direct; | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (12) Observe any curfew ordered by the court; | ||||||
2 | (13) Remain in the custody of such designated person | ||||||
3 | or organization agreeing to supervise his release. Such | ||||||

7 | shall be subject to contempt of court for failure so to | ||||||
8 | notify the court; | ||||||
9 | (14) Be placed under direct supervision of the | ||||||
10 | Pretrial Services Agency, Probation Department or Court | ||||||

13 | monitoring device subject to Article 8A of Chapter V of | ||||||
14 | the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
15 | (14.1) The court shall impose upon a defendant who is | ||||||
16 | charged with any alcohol, cannabis, methamphetamine, or | ||||||
17 | controlled substance violation and is placed under direct | ||||||

22 | that represents costs incidental to the electronic | ||||||
23 | monitoring for each day of such bail supervision ordered | ||||||
24 | by the court, unless after determining the inability of | ||||||
25 | the defendant to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser | ||||||
26 | fee or no fee as the case may be. The fee shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | collected by the clerk of the circuit court, except as | ||||||
2 | provided in an administrative order of the Chief Judge of | ||||||
3 | the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court shall | ||||||

7 | provided in an administrative order of the Chief Judge of | ||||||
8 | the circuit court. | ||||||
9 | The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may | ||||||
10 | by administrative order establish a program for electronic | ||||||
11 | monitoring of offenders with regard to drug-related and | ||||||
12 | alcohol-related offenses, in which a vendor supplies and | ||||||
13 | monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring | ||||||
14 | device, and collects the fees on behalf of the county. The | ||||||
15 | program shall include provisions for indigent offenders | ||||||
16 | and the collection of unpaid fees. The program shall not | ||||||
17 | unduly burden the offender and shall be subject to review | ||||||

2 | condition of such bail bond, a fee which shall represent | ||||||
3 | costs incidental to such electronic monitoring for each | ||||||
4 | day of such bail supervision ordered by the court, unless | ||||||
5 | after determining the inability of the defendant to pay | ||||||
6 | the fee, the court assesses a lesser fee or no fee as the | ||||||
7 | case may be. The fee shall be collected by the clerk of the | ||||||

18 | The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may | ||||||
19 | by administrative order establish a program for electronic | ||||||
20 | monitoring of offenders with regard to drug-related and | ||||||
21 | alcohol-related offenses, in which a vendor supplies and | ||||||
22 | monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring | ||||||
23 | device, and collects the fees on behalf of the county. The | ||||||

26 | allow a defendant who is not self-employed to operate a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | vehicle owned by the defendant's employer that is not | ||||||
2 | equipped with an ignition interlock device in the course | ||||||
3 | and scope of the defendant's employment; | ||||||

17 | with all conditions of pretrial release, prevent the | ||||||
18 | defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly | ||||||
19 | administration of justice, or ensure compliance with the rules | ||||||
20 | and procedures of problem solving courts. However, conditions | ||||||
21 | shall include the least restrictive means and be | ||||||
22 | individualized. Conditions shall not mandate rehabilitative | ||||||
23 | services unless directly tied to the risk of pretrial | ||||||
24 | misconduct. Conditions of supervision shall not include | ||||||
25 | punitive measures such as community service work or | ||||||
26 | restitution. Conditions may include the following: |

17 | officer from whose custody he was bailed released . | ||||||

19 | defendant shall physically surrender, at a time and place | ||||||
20 | designated by the court, any and all firearms in his or her | ||||||
21 | possession and his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
22 | as a condition of remaining on bond being released pending | ||||||
23 | sentencing. | ||||||
24 | (h) In the event the defendant is unable to post bond, the | ||||||

13 | (b) All other prosecutions may be by indictment, | ||||||

15 | (c) Upon the filing of an information or indictment in | ||||||
16 | open court charging the defendant with the commission of a sex | ||||||
17 | offense defined in any Section of Article 11 of the Criminal | ||||||
18 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, and a minor as | ||||||

22 | (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any protective | ||||||
23 | order, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal proceeding or | ||||||
24 | by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court | ||||||
25 | when: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
2 | domestic violence order of protection pursuant to Section | ||||||
3 | 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
4 | Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated: | ||||||

6 | (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 | ||||||
7 | of this Code, | ||||||
8 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
9 | the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (2), (3), | ||||||
10 | (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the | ||||||
11 | Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid | ||||||
12 | order of protection, which is authorized under the | ||||||
13 | laws of another state, tribe, or United States | ||||||
14 | territory, or | ||||||
15 | (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||||
16 | crime against the protected parties as defined by the | ||||||
17 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
18 | Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence | ||||||
19 | order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution | ||||||
20 | for any other crime, including any crime that may have | ||||||
21 | been committed at the time of the violation of the | ||||||
22 | domestic violence order of protection; or | ||||||
23 | (2) The respondent commits the crime of child | ||||||
24 | abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of | ||||||
25 | 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly | ||||||
26 | violated: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) remedies described in paragraph (5), (6), or | ||||||
2 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, | ||||||
3 | or | ||||||
4 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
5 | the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (5), (6), | ||||||
6 | or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the Illinois | ||||||
7 | Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid domestic | ||||||
8 | violence order of protection, which is authorized | ||||||
9 | under the laws of another state, tribe, or United | ||||||
10 | States territory. | ||||||
11 | (3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
12 | civil no contact order when the respondent violates | ||||||
13 | Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution | ||||||
14 | for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar | ||||||
15 | concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any | ||||||
16 | crime that may have been committed at the time of the | ||||||
17 | violation of the civil no contact order. | ||||||
18 | (4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
19 | stalking no contact order when the respondent violates | ||||||
20 | Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution | ||||||
21 | for a violation of a stalking no contact order shall not | ||||||
22 | bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including | ||||||
23 | any crime that may have been committed at the time of the | ||||||
24 | violation of the stalking no contact order. | ||||||
25 | (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of | ||||||
26 | any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be enforced | ||||||
2 | through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate, | ||||||
3 | by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or | ||||||
4 | acts which violated the protective order were committed, to | ||||||
5 | the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this | ||||||
6 | Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois | ||||||
7 | court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in | ||||||
8 | another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders | ||||||
9 | through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings, | ||||||
10 | unless the action which is second in time is barred by | ||||||
11 | collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against | ||||||
12 | double jeopardy. | ||||||
13 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
14 | rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an | ||||||
15 | immediate danger that the respondent will flee the | ||||||
16 | jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse | ||||||
17 | on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults | ||||||
18 | in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment | ||||||
19 | of the respondent without prior service of the rule to | ||||||
20 | show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond | ||||||
21 | shall be set unless specifically denied in writing. | ||||||
22 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation | ||||||
23 | of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
24 | proceeding. | ||||||
25 | (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental | ||||||
26 | responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | described in paragraph (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection (b) | ||||||
2 | of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced by any remedy | ||||||
3 | provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois Marriage and | ||||||
4 | Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order | ||||||
5 | for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of | ||||||
6 | Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner provided for under | ||||||
7 | Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | ||||||
8 | Marriage Act. | ||||||
9 | (d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced | ||||||
10 | pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order | ||||||
11 | after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as | ||||||
12 | shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
13 | (1) (Blank). | ||||||
14 | (2) (Blank). | ||||||
15 | (3) By service of a protective order under subsection | ||||||
16 | (f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code. | ||||||
17 | (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
18 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
19 | (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or | ||||||
20 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
21 | following: | ||||||
22 | (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order | ||||||
23 | entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code. | ||||||
24 | (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
25 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
26 | (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
2 | 1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile | ||||||
3 | Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | ||||||
4 | Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection | ||||||
5 | (6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
6 | 1963 shall be void. | ||||||
7 | (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
8 | not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not | ||||||
9 | require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the | ||||||
10 | victim. | ||||||
11 | (g) Penalties. | ||||||
12 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this | ||||||
13 | subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||
14 | crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of | ||||||
15 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
16 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
17 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
18 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
19 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
20 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
21 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
22 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
23 | of this subsection (g). | ||||||
24 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
25 | encouraged to: | ||||||
26 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of any protective order over any penalty previously | ||||||
2 | imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any | ||||||
3 | protective order or penal statute involving petitioner | ||||||
4 | as victim and respondent as defendant; | ||||||
5 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
6 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
7 | protective order; and | ||||||
8 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
9 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
10 | violation of a protective order | ||||||
11 | unless the court explicitly finds that an increased | ||||||
12 | penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly | ||||||
13 | unjust. | ||||||
14 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
15 | violation of a protective order, a criminal court may | ||||||
16 | consider evidence of any violations of a protective order: | ||||||
17 | (i) to increase, revoke, or modify the bail bond | ||||||
18 | conditions of pretrial release on an underlying | ||||||
19 | criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of this | ||||||
20 | Code; | ||||||
21 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
22 | conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
23 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
24 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
25 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
26 | Code of Corrections. |

6 | (a) Whenever under either Section 113-3 of this Code or | ||||||
7 | Rule 607 of the Illinois Supreme Court the court appoints | ||||||
8 | counsel to represent a defendant, the court may order the | ||||||
9 | defendant to pay to the Clerk of the Circuit Court a reasonable | ||||||
10 | sum to reimburse either the county or the State for such | ||||||
11 | representation. In a hearing to determine the amount of the | ||||||
12 | payment, the court shall consider the affidavit prepared by | ||||||
13 | the defendant under Section 113-3 of this Code and any other | ||||||
14 | information pertaining to the defendant's financial | ||||||
15 | circumstances which may be submitted by the parties. Such | ||||||
16 | hearing shall be conducted on the court's own motion or on | ||||||
17 | motion of the prosecutor State's Attorney at any time after | ||||||
18 | the appointment of counsel but no later than 90 days after the | ||||||
19 | entry of a final order disposing of the case at the trial | ||||||
20 | level. | ||||||
21 | (b) Any sum ordered paid under this Section may not exceed | ||||||
22 | $500 for a defendant charged with a misdemeanor, $5,000 for a | ||||||
23 | defendant charged with a felony, or $2,500 for a defendant who | ||||||
24 | is appealing a conviction of any class offense. | ||||||
25 | (c) The method of any payment required under this Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be as specified by the Court. The court may order that | ||||||
2 | payments be made on a monthly basis during the term of | ||||||
3 | representation; however, the sum deposited as money bond shall | ||||||
4 | not be used to satisfy this court order. Any sum deposited as | ||||||
5 | money bond with the Clerk of the Circuit Court under Section | ||||||
6 | 110-7 of this Code may be used in the court's discretion in | ||||||
7 | whole or in part to comply with any payment order entered in | ||||||
8 | accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section. The court may | ||||||
9 | give special consideration to the interests of relatives or | ||||||
10 | other third parties who may have posted a money bond on the | ||||||
11 | behalf of the defendant to secure his release. At any time | ||||||
12 | prior to full payment of any payment order the court on its own | ||||||
13 | motion or the motion of any party may reduce, increase, or | ||||||
14 | suspend the ordered payment, or modify the method of payment, | ||||||
15 | as the interest of fairness may require. No increase, | ||||||
16 | suspension, or reduction may be ordered without a hearing and | ||||||
17 | notice to all parties. | ||||||
18 | (d) The Supreme Court or the circuit courts may provide by | ||||||
19 | rule for procedures for the enforcement of orders entered | ||||||
20 | under this Section. Such rules may provide for the assessment | ||||||
21 | of all costs, including attorneys' fees which are required for | ||||||
22 | the enforcement of orders entered under this Section when the | ||||||
23 | court in an enforcement proceeding has first found that the | ||||||
24 | defendant has willfully refused to pay. The Clerk of the | ||||||
25 | Circuit Court shall keep records and make reports to the court | ||||||
26 | concerning funds paid under this Section in whatever manner |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the court directs. | ||||||
2 | (e) Whenever an order is entered under this Section for | ||||||
3 | the reimbursement of the State due to the appointment of the | ||||||
4 | State Appellate Defender as counsel on appeal, the order shall | ||||||
5 | provide that the Clerk of the Circuit Court shall retain all | ||||||
6 | funds paid pursuant to such order until the full amount of the | ||||||
7 | sum ordered to be paid by the defendant has been paid. When no | ||||||
8 | balance remains due on such order, the Clerk of the Circuit | ||||||
9 | Court shall inform the court of this fact and the court shall | ||||||
10 | promptly order the Clerk of the Circuit Court to pay to the | ||||||
11 | State Treasurer all of the sum paid. | ||||||
12 | (f) The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall retain all funds | ||||||
13 | under this Section paid for the reimbursement of the county, | ||||||
14 | and shall inform the court when no balance remains due on an | ||||||
15 | order entered hereunder. The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall | ||||||
16 | make payments of funds collected under this Section to the | ||||||
17 | County Treasurer in whatever manner and at whatever point as | ||||||
18 | the court may direct, including payments made on a monthly | ||||||
19 | basis during the term of representation. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 114-1. Motion to dismiss charge. | ||||||
3 | (a) Upon the written motion of the defendant made prior to | ||||||
4 | trial before or after a plea has been entered the court may | ||||||
5 | dismiss the indictment, information or complaint upon any of | ||||||
6 | the following grounds: | ||||||
7 | (1) The defendant has not been placed on trial in | ||||||
8 | compliance with Section 103-5 of this Code. | ||||||
9 | (2) The prosecution of the offense is barred by | ||||||
10 | Sections 3-3 through 3-8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
11 | (3) The defendant has received immunity from | ||||||
12 | prosecution for the offense charged. | ||||||
13 | (4) The indictment was returned by a Grand Jury which | ||||||
14 | was improperly selected and which results in substantial | ||||||
15 | injustice to the defendant. | ||||||
16 | (5) The indictment was returned by a Grand Jury which | ||||||
17 | acted contrary to Article 112 of this Code and which | ||||||
18 | results in substantial injustice to the defendant. | ||||||
19 | (6) The court in which the charge has been filed does | ||||||
20 | not have jurisdiction. | ||||||
21 | (7) The county is an improper place of trial. | ||||||
22 | (8) The charge does not state an offense. | ||||||
23 | (9) The indictment is based solely upon the testimony | ||||||
24 | of an incompetent witness. | ||||||
25 | (10) The defendant is misnamed in the charge and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | misnomer results in substantial injustice to the | ||||||
2 | defendant. | ||||||
3 | (11) The requirements of Section 109-3.1 have not been | ||||||
4 | complied with. | ||||||
5 | (b) The court shall require any motion to dismiss to be | ||||||
6 | filed within a reasonable time after the defendant has been | ||||||
7 | arraigned. Any motion not filed within such time or an | ||||||
8 | extension thereof shall not be considered by the court and the | ||||||
9 | grounds therefor, except as to subsections (a)(6) and (a)(8) | ||||||
10 | of this Section, are waived. | ||||||
11 | (c) If the motion presents only an issue of law the court | ||||||
12 | shall determine it without the necessity of further pleadings. | ||||||
13 | If the motion alleges facts not of record in the case the State | ||||||
14 | shall file an answer admitting or denying each of the factual | ||||||
15 | allegations of the motion. | ||||||
16 | (d) When an issue of fact is presented by a motion to | ||||||
17 | dismiss and the answer of the State the court shall conduct a | ||||||
18 | hearing and determine the issues. | ||||||
19 | (d-5) When a defendant seeks dismissal of the charge upon | ||||||
20 | the ground set forth in subsection (a)(7) of this Section, the | ||||||
21 | defendant shall make a prima facie showing that the county is | ||||||
22 | an improper place of trial. Upon such showing, the State shall | ||||||
23 | have the burden of proving, by a preponderance of the | ||||||
24 | evidence, that the county is the proper place of trial. | ||||||
25 | (d-6) When a defendant seeks dismissal of the charge upon | ||||||
26 | the grounds set forth in subsection (a)(2) of this Section, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the prosecution shall have the burden of proving, by a | ||||||
2 | preponderance of the evidence, that the prosecution of the | ||||||
3 | offense is not barred by Sections 3-3 through 3-8 of the | ||||||
4 | Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
5 | (e) Dismissal of the charge upon the grounds set forth in | ||||||
6 | subsections (a)(4) through (a)(11) of this Section shall not | ||||||
7 | prevent the return of a new indictment or the filing of a new | ||||||
8 | charge, and upon such dismissal the court may order that the | ||||||
9 | defendant be held in custody or, if the defendant had been | ||||||
10 | previously released on bail pretrial release , that the bail | ||||||
11 | pretrial release be continued for a specified time pending the | ||||||
12 | return of a new indictment or the filing of a new charge. | ||||||
13 | (f) If the court determines that the motion to dismiss | ||||||
14 | based upon the grounds set forth in subsections (a)(6) and | ||||||
15 | (a)(7) is well founded it may, instead of dismissal, order the | ||||||
16 | cause transferred to a court of competent jurisdiction or to a | ||||||
17 | proper place of trial. | ||||||

20 | Sec. 115-4.1. Absence of defendant. | ||||||
21 | (a) When a defendant after arrest and an initial court | ||||||
22 | appearance for a non-capital felony or a misdemeanor, fails to | ||||||
23 | appear for trial, at the request of the State and after the | ||||||
24 | State has affirmatively proven through substantial evidence | ||||||
25 | that the defendant is willfully avoiding trial, the court may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | commence trial in the absence of the defendant. Absence of a | ||||||
2 | defendant as specified in this Section shall not be a bar to | ||||||
3 | indictment of a defendant, return of information against a | ||||||
4 | defendant, or arraignment of a defendant for the charge for | ||||||
5 | which bail pretrial release has been granted. If a defendant | ||||||
6 | fails to appear at arraignment, the court may enter a plea of | ||||||
7 | "not guilty" on his behalf. If a defendant absents himself | ||||||
8 | before trial on a capital felony, trial may proceed as | ||||||
9 | specified in this Section provided that the State certifies | ||||||
10 | that it will not seek a death sentence following conviction. | ||||||
11 | Trial in the defendant's absence shall be by jury unless the | ||||||
12 | defendant had previously waived trial by jury. The absent | ||||||
13 | defendant must be represented by retained or appointed | ||||||
14 | counsel. The court, at the conclusion of all of the | ||||||
15 | proceedings, may order the clerk of the circuit court to pay | ||||||
16 | counsel such sum as the court deems reasonable, from any bond | ||||||
17 | monies which were posted by the defendant with the clerk, | ||||||
18 | after the clerk has first deducted all court costs. If trial | ||||||
19 | had previously commenced in the presence of the defendant and | ||||||
20 | the defendant willfully absents himself for two successive | ||||||
21 | court days, the court shall proceed to trial. All procedural | ||||||
22 | rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, | ||||||
23 | Constitution of the State of Illinois, statutes of the State | ||||||
24 | of Illinois, and rules of court shall apply to the proceedings | ||||||
25 | the same as if the defendant were present in court and had not | ||||||
26 | either forfeited his or her bail bond had his or her pretrial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | release revoked or escaped from custody. The court may set the | ||||||
2 | case for a trial which may be conducted under this Section | ||||||
3 | despite the failure of the defendant to appear at the hearing | ||||||
4 | at which the trial date is set. When such trial date is set the | ||||||
5 | clerk shall send to the defendant, by certified mail at his | ||||||
6 | last known address indicated on his bond slip, notice of the | ||||||
7 | new date which has been set for trial. Such notification shall | ||||||
8 | be required when the defendant was not personally present in | ||||||
9 | open court at the time when the case was set for trial. | ||||||
10 | (b) The absence of a defendant from a trial conducted | ||||||
11 | pursuant to this Section does not operate as a bar to | ||||||
12 | concluding the trial, to a judgment of conviction resulting | ||||||
13 | therefrom, or to a final disposition of the trial in favor of | ||||||
14 | the defendant. | ||||||
15 | (c) Upon a verdict of not guilty, the court shall enter | ||||||
16 | judgment for the defendant. Upon a verdict of guilty, the | ||||||
17 | court shall set a date for the hearing of post-trial motions | ||||||
18 | and shall hear such motion in the absence of the defendant. If | ||||||
19 | post-trial motions are denied, the court shall proceed to | ||||||
20 | conduct a sentencing hearing and to impose a sentence upon the | ||||||
21 | defendant. | ||||||
22 | (d) A defendant who is absent for part of the proceedings | ||||||
23 | of trial, post-trial motions, or sentencing, does not thereby | ||||||
24 | forfeit his right to be present at all remaining proceedings. | ||||||
25 | (e) When a defendant who in his absence has been either | ||||||
26 | convicted or sentenced or both convicted and sentenced appears |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | before the court, he must be granted a new trial or new | ||||||
2 | sentencing hearing if the defendant can establish that his | ||||||
3 | failure to appear in court was both without his fault and due | ||||||
4 | to circumstances beyond his control. A hearing with notice to | ||||||
5 | the State's Attorney on the defendant's request for a new | ||||||
6 | trial or a new sentencing hearing must be held before any such | ||||||
7 | request may be granted. At any such hearing both the defendant | ||||||
8 | and the State may present evidence. | ||||||
9 | (f) If the court grants only the defendant's request for a | ||||||
10 | new sentencing hearing, then a new sentencing hearing shall be | ||||||
11 | held in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Code of | ||||||
12 | Corrections. At any such hearing, both the defendant and the | ||||||
13 | State may offer evidence of the defendant's conduct during his | ||||||
14 | period of absence from the court. The court may impose any | ||||||
15 | sentence authorized by the Unified Code of Corrections and is | ||||||
16 | not in any way limited or restricted by any sentence | ||||||
17 | previously imposed. | ||||||
18 | (g) A defendant whose motion under paragraph (e) for a new | ||||||
19 | trial or new sentencing hearing has been denied may file a | ||||||
20 | notice of appeal therefrom. Such notice may also include a | ||||||
21 | request for review of the judgment and sentence not vacated by | ||||||
22 | the trial court. | ||||||

3 | petitioner brought before the court for the hearing. If the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) No unlawful means of any kind shall be used to obtain a | ||||||
2 | statement, admission or confession from any person in custody. | ||||||

10 | (a) All necessary and reasonable force may be used to | ||||||
11 | effect an entry into any building or property or part thereof | ||||||
12 | to execute a search warrant. | ||||||
13 | (b) The court issuing a warrant may authorize the officer | ||||||
14 | executing the warrant to make entry without first knocking and | ||||||
15 | announcing his or her office if it finds, based upon a showing | ||||||
16 | of specific facts, the existence of the following exigent | ||||||
17 | circumstances: | ||||||
18 | (1) That the officer reasonably believes that if | ||||||
19 | notice were given a weapon would be used: | ||||||
20 | (i) against the officer executing the search | ||||||
21 | warrant; or | ||||||
22 | (ii) against another person. | ||||||
23 | (2) That if notice were given there is an imminent | ||||||
24 | "danger" that evidence will be destroyed. | ||||||
25 | (c) Prior to the issuing of a warrant under subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b), the officer must attest that: | ||||||
2 | (1) prior to entering the location described in the | ||||||
3 | search warrant, a supervising officer will ensure that | ||||||
4 | each participating member is assigned a body worn camera | ||||||
5 | and is following policies and procedures in accordance | ||||||
6 | with Section 10-20 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn | ||||||
7 | Body Camera Act; provided that the law enforcement agency | ||||||
8 | has implemented body worn camera in accordance with | ||||||
9 | Section 10-15 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body | ||||||
10 | Camera Act. If a law enforcement agency or each | ||||||
11 | participating member of a multi-jurisdictional team has | ||||||
12 | not implemented a body camera in accordance with Section | ||||||
13 | 10-15 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act, | ||||||
14 | the officer must attest that the interaction authorized by | ||||||
15 | the warrant is otherwise recorded; | ||||||
16 | (2) The supervising officer verified the subject | ||||||
17 | address listed on the warrant for accuracy and planned for | ||||||
18 | children or other vulnerable people on-site; and | ||||||
19 | (3) if an officer becomes aware the search warrant was | ||||||
20 | executed at an address, unit, or apartment different from | ||||||
21 | the location listed on the search warrant, that member | ||||||
22 | will immediately notify a supervisor who will ensure an | ||||||
23 | internal investigation or formal inquiry ensues. | ||||||

20 | except the following offenses where the proof is evident or | ||||||
21 | the presumption great that the defendant is guilty of the | ||||||
22 | offense: capital offenses; offenses for which a sentence of | ||||||
23 | life imprisonment may be imposed as a consequence of | ||||||
24 | conviction; felony offenses for which a sentence of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imprisonment, without conditional and revocable release, shall | ||||||
2 | be imposed by law as a consequence of conviction, where the | ||||||
3 | court after a hearing, determines that the release of the | ||||||
4 | defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical | ||||||
5 | safety of any person or persons; stalking or aggravated | ||||||
6 | stalking, where the court, after a hearing, determines that | ||||||
7 | the release of the defendant would pose a real and present | ||||||
8 | threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the | ||||||
9 | offense and denial of bail is necessary to prevent fulfillment | ||||||
10 | of the threat upon which the charge is based; or unlawful use | ||||||
11 | of weapons in violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of | ||||||
12 | Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code | ||||||
13 | of 2012 when that offense occurred in a school or in any | ||||||
14 | conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to | ||||||
15 | transport students to or from school or a school-related | ||||||
16 | activity, or on any public way within 1,000 feet of real | ||||||
17 | property comprising any school, where the court, after a | ||||||
18 | hearing, determines that the release of the defendant would | ||||||
19 | pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of any | ||||||
20 | person and denial of bail is necessary to prevent fulfillment | ||||||
21 | of that threat; or making a terrorist threat in violation of | ||||||
22 | Section 29D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal | ||||||
23 | Code of 2012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a | ||||||
24 | terrorist threat, where the court, after a hearing, determines | ||||||
25 | that the release of the defendant would pose a real and present | ||||||
26 | threat to the physical safety of any person and denial of bail |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is necessary to prevent fulfillment of that threat. | ||||||
2 | (b) A person seeking release on bail who is charged with a | ||||||
3 | capital offense or an offense for which a sentence of life | ||||||
4 | imprisonment may be imposed shall not be bailable until a | ||||||
5 | hearing is held wherein such person has the burden of | ||||||
6 | demonstrating that the proof of his guilt is not evident and | ||||||
7 | the presumption is not great. | ||||||
8 | (c) Where it is alleged that bail should be denied to a | ||||||
9 | person upon the grounds that the person presents a real and | ||||||
10 | present threat to the physical safety of any person or | ||||||
11 | persons, the burden of proof of such allegations shall be upon | ||||||
12 | the State. | ||||||
13 | (d) When it is alleged that bail should be denied to a | ||||||
14 | person charged with stalking or aggravated stalking upon the | ||||||
15 | grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3-1 of this Code, the | ||||||
16 | burden of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State.

18 | Sec. 110-6.3-1. Denial of bail in stalking and aggravated | ||||||
19 | stalking offenses. | ||||||
20 | (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall | ||||||
21 | hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a | ||||||
22 | defendant who is charged with stalking or aggravated stalking, | ||||||
23 | when it is alleged that the defendant's admission to bail | ||||||
24 | poses a real and present threat to the physical safety of the | ||||||
25 | alleged victim of the offense, and denial of release on bail or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | personal recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of | ||||||
2 | the threat upon which the charge is based. | ||||||
3 | (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to | ||||||
4 | the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or | ||||||
5 | within 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section | ||||||
6 | 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon | ||||||
7 | reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while the | ||||||
8 | petition is pending before the court, the defendant if | ||||||
9 | previously released shall not be detained. | ||||||
10 | (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the | ||||||
11 | defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good | ||||||
12 | cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a | ||||||
13 | continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may | ||||||
14 | not exceed 5 calendar days, and the defendant may be held | ||||||
15 | in custody during the continuance. A continuance on the | ||||||
16 | motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days; | ||||||
17 | however, the defendant may be held in custody during the | ||||||
18 | continuance under this provision if the defendant has been | ||||||
19 | previously found to have violated an order of protection | ||||||
20 | or has been previously convicted of, or granted court | ||||||
21 | supervision for, any of the offenses set forth in Sections | ||||||
22 | 11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-2, | ||||||
23 | 12-3.05, 12-3.2, 12-3.3, 12-4, 12-4.1, 12-7.3, 12-7.4, | ||||||
24 | 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code | ||||||
25 | of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, against the same | ||||||
26 | person as the alleged victim of the stalking or aggravated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stalking offense. | ||||||
2 | (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant when, after | ||||||
3 | the hearing, it is determined that: | ||||||
4 | (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | ||||||
5 | the defendant has committed the offense of stalking or | ||||||
6 | aggravated stalking; and | ||||||
7 | (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to | ||||||
8 | the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense; | ||||||
9 | and | ||||||
10 | (3) the denial of release on bail or personal | ||||||
11 | recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the | ||||||
12 | threat upon which the charge is based; and | ||||||
13 | (4) the court finds that no condition or combination | ||||||
14 | of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
15 | 110-10 of this Code, including mental health treatment at | ||||||
16 | a community mental health center, hospital, or facility of | ||||||
17 | the Department of Human Services, can reasonably assure | ||||||
18 | the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense. | ||||||
19 | (c) Conduct of the hearings. | ||||||
20 | (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and | ||||||
21 | threat to the alleged victim of the offense shall be | ||||||
22 | conducted in accordance with the following provisions: | ||||||
23 | (A) Information used by the court in its findings | ||||||
24 | or stated in or offered at the hearing may be by way of | ||||||
25 | proffer based upon reliable information offered by the | ||||||
26 | State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to have | ||||||
2 | counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have the | ||||||
3 | opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in his | ||||||
4 | own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any are | ||||||
5 | called by the State. The defendant has the right to | ||||||
6 | present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of | ||||||
7 | justice so require, the court may exercise its | ||||||
8 | discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining | ||||||
9 | witness. The court shall state on the record reasons | ||||||
10 | for granting a defense request to compel the presence | ||||||
11 | of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a | ||||||
12 | complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing | ||||||
13 | for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility | ||||||
14 | is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the | ||||||
15 | witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance | ||||||
16 | of a complaining witness, the court shall be | ||||||
17 | considerate of the emotional and physical well-being | ||||||
18 | of the witness. The pretrial detention hearing is not | ||||||
19 | to be used for the purposes of discovery, and the post | ||||||
20 | arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State | ||||||
21 | shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing, | ||||||
22 | copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if | ||||||
23 | available, and any written or recorded statements and | ||||||
24 | the substance of any oral statements made by any | ||||||
25 | person, if relied upon by the State. The rules | ||||||
26 | concerning the admissibility of evidence in criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | trials do not apply to the presentation and | ||||||
2 | consideration of information at the hearing. At the | ||||||
3 | trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was | ||||||
4 | conducted neither the finding of the court nor any | ||||||
5 | transcript or other record of the hearing shall be | ||||||
6 | admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be | ||||||
7 | admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section | ||||||
8 | 115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding. | ||||||
9 | (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence | ||||||
10 | or to suppress a confession shall not be entertained. | ||||||
11 | Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the | ||||||
12 | result of an unlawful search and seizure or through | ||||||
13 | improper interrogation is not relevant to this state | ||||||
14 | of the prosecution. | ||||||
15 | (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a | ||||||
16 | finding that: | ||||||
17 | (A) the defendant poses a real and present threat | ||||||
18 | to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the | ||||||
19 | offense; and | ||||||
20 | (B) the denial of release on bail or personal | ||||||
21 | recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of | ||||||
22 | the threat upon which the charge is based; | ||||||
23 | shall be supported by clear and convincing evidence | ||||||
24 | presented by the State. | ||||||
25 | (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | ||||||
26 | the threat to the alleged victim of the offense. The court may, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in determining whether the defendant poses, at the time of the | ||||||
2 | hearing, a real and present threat to the physical safety of | ||||||
3 | the alleged victim of the offense, consider but shall not be | ||||||
4 | limited to evidence or testimony concerning: | ||||||
5 | (1) The nature and circumstances of the offense | ||||||
6 | charged; | ||||||
7 | (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | ||||||
8 | including: | ||||||
9 | (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | ||||||
10 | history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive | ||||||
11 | behavior, or lack of that behavior. The evidence may | ||||||
12 | include testimony or documents received in juvenile | ||||||
13 | proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil | ||||||
14 | commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings; | ||||||
15 | (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | ||||||
16 | psychiatric or other similar social history that tends | ||||||
17 | to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive nature, | ||||||
18 | or lack of any such history. | ||||||
19 | (3) The nature of the threat which is the basis of the | ||||||
20 | charge against the defendant; | ||||||
21 | (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the | ||||||
22 | defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding | ||||||
23 | them; | ||||||
24 | (5) The age and physical condition of any person | ||||||
25 | assaulted by the defendant; | ||||||
26 | (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | access to any weapon or weapons; | ||||||
2 | (7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any | ||||||
3 | other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation, | ||||||
4 | parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or | ||||||
5 | other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, | ||||||
6 | appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under | ||||||
7 | federal or state law; | ||||||
8 | (8) Any other factors, including those listed in | ||||||
9 | Section 110-5 of this Code, deemed by the court to have a | ||||||
10 | reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or | ||||||
11 | reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or | ||||||
12 | lack of that behavior. | ||||||
13 | (e) The court shall, in any order denying bail to a person | ||||||
14 | charged with stalking or aggravated stalking: | ||||||
15 | (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's | ||||||
16 | culpability and its reasons for concluding that the | ||||||
17 | defendant should be held without bail; | ||||||
18 | (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the | ||||||
19 | custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail | ||||||
20 | pending trial; | ||||||
21 | (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable | ||||||
22 | opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for | ||||||
23 | communication with others of his choice by visitation, | ||||||
24 | mail and telephone; and | ||||||
25 | (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as | ||||||
26 | required for appearances in connection with court |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceedings. | ||||||
2 | (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the | ||||||
3 | defendant under subsection (e) of this Section, the defendant | ||||||
4 | shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he is | ||||||
5 | detained within 90 days after the date on which the order for | ||||||
6 | detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to | ||||||
7 | trial within the 90 day period required by this subsection | ||||||
8 | (f), he shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the | ||||||
9 | 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of delay | ||||||
10 | resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the | ||||||
11 | defendant. The court shall immediately notify the alleged | ||||||
12 | victim of the offense that the defendant has been admitted to | ||||||
13 | bail under this subsection. | ||||||
14 | (g) Any person shall be entitled to appeal any order | ||||||
15 | entered under this Section denying bail to the defendant. | ||||||
16 | (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this | ||||||
17 | Section denying any motion for denial of bail. | ||||||
18 | (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as | ||||||
19 | modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption | ||||||
20 | of innocence in further criminal proceedings.

21 | (725 ILCS 5/110-6.5-1 new) | ||||||
22 | Sec. 110-6.5-1. Drug testing program. | ||||||
23 | (a) The Chief Judge of the circuit may establish a drug | ||||||
24 | testing program as provided by this Section in any county in | ||||||
25 | the circuit if the county board has approved the establishment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the program and the county probation department or pretrial | ||||||
2 | services agency has consented to administer it. The drug | ||||||
3 | testing program shall be conducted under the following | ||||||
4 | provisions: | ||||||
5 | (a-1) The court, in the case of a defendant charged with a | ||||||
6 | felony offense or any offense involving the possession or | ||||||
7 | delivery of cannabis or a controlled substance, shall: | ||||||
8 | (1) not consider the release of the defendant on his | ||||||
9 | or her own recognizance, unless the defendant consents to | ||||||
10 | periodic drug testing during the period of release on his | ||||||
11 | or her own recognizance, in accordance with this Section; | ||||||
12 | (2) consider the consent of the defendant to periodic | ||||||
13 | drug testing during the period of release on bail in | ||||||
14 | accordance with this Section as a favorable factor for the | ||||||
15 | defendant in determining the amount of bail, the | ||||||
16 | conditions of release or in considering the defendant's | ||||||
17 | motion to reduce the amount of bail. | ||||||
18 | (b) The drug testing shall be conducted by the pretrial | ||||||
19 | services agency or under the direction of the probation | ||||||
20 | department when a pretrial services agency does not exist in | ||||||
21 | accordance with this Section. | ||||||
22 | (c) A defendant who consents to periodic drug testing as | ||||||
23 | set forth in this Section shall sign an agreement with the | ||||||
24 | court that, during the period of release, the defendant shall | ||||||
25 | refrain from using illegal drugs and that the defendant will | ||||||
26 | comply with the conditions of the testing program. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agreement shall be on a form prescribed by the court and shall | ||||||
2 | be executed at the time of the bail hearing. This agreement | ||||||
3 | shall be made a specific condition of bail. | ||||||
4 | (d) The drug testing program shall be conducted as | ||||||
5 | follows: | ||||||
6 | (1) The testing shall be done by urinalysis for the | ||||||
7 | detection of phencyclidine, heroin, cocaine, methadone and | ||||||
8 | amphetamines. | ||||||
9 | (2) The collection of samples shall be performed under | ||||||
10 | reasonable and sanitary conditions. | ||||||
11 | (3) Samples shall be collected and tested with due | ||||||
12 | regard for the privacy of the individual being tested and | ||||||
13 | in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent substitutions | ||||||
14 | or interference with the collection or testing of reliable | ||||||
15 | samples. | ||||||
16 | (4) Sample collection shall be documented, and the | ||||||
17 | documentation procedures shall include: | ||||||
18 | (i) Labeling of samples so as to reasonably | ||||||
19 | preclude the probability of erroneous identification | ||||||
20 | of test results; and | ||||||
21 | (ii) An opportunity for the defendant to provide | ||||||
22 | information on the identification of prescription or | ||||||
23 | nonprescription drugs used in connection with a | ||||||
24 | medical condition. | ||||||
25 | (5) Sample collection, storage, and transportation to | ||||||
26 | the place of testing shall be performed so as to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonably preclude the probability of sample | ||||||
2 | contamination or adulteration. | ||||||
3 | (6) Sample testing shall conform to scientifically | ||||||
4 | accepted analytical methods and procedures. Testing shall | ||||||
5 | include verification or confirmation of any positive test | ||||||
6 | result by a reliable analytical method before the result | ||||||
7 | of any test may be used as a basis for any action by the | ||||||
8 | court. | ||||||
9 | (e) The initial sample shall be collected before the | ||||||
10 | defendant's release on bail. Thereafter, the defendant shall | ||||||
11 | report to the pretrial services agency or probation department | ||||||
12 | as required by the agency or department. The pretrial services | ||||||
13 | agency or probation department shall immediately notify the | ||||||
14 | court of any defendant who fails to report for testing. | ||||||
15 | (f) After the initial test, a subsequent confirmed | ||||||
16 | positive test result indicative of continued drug use shall | ||||||
17 | result in the following: | ||||||
18 | (1) Upon the first confirmed positive test result, the | ||||||
19 | pretrial services agency or probation department, shall | ||||||
20 | place the defendant on a more frequent testing schedule | ||||||
21 | and shall warn the defendant of the consequences of | ||||||
22 | continued drug use. | ||||||
23 | (2) A second confirmed positive test result shall be | ||||||
24 | grounds for a hearing before the judge who authorized the | ||||||
25 | release of the defendant in accordance with the provisions | ||||||
26 | of subsection (g) of this Section. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) The court shall, upon motion of the State or upon its | ||||||
2 | own motion, conduct a hearing in connection with any defendant | ||||||
3 | who fails to appear for testing, fails to cooperate with the | ||||||
4 | persons conducting the testing program, attempts to submit a | ||||||
5 | sample not his or her own or has had a confirmed positive test | ||||||
6 | result indicative of continued drug use for the second or | ||||||
7 | subsequent time after the initial test. The hearing shall be | ||||||
8 | conducted in accordance with the procedures of Section 110-6. | ||||||
9 | Upon a finding by the court that the State has established | ||||||
10 | by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has | ||||||
11 | violated the drug testing conditions of bail, the court may | ||||||
12 | consider any of the following sanctions: | ||||||
13 | (1) increase the amount of the defendant's bail or | ||||||
14 | conditions of release; | ||||||
15 | (2) impose a jail sentence of up to 5 days; | ||||||
16 | (3) revoke the defendant's bail; or | ||||||
17 | (4) enter such other orders which are within the power | ||||||
18 | of the court as deemed appropriate. | ||||||
19 | (h) The results of any drug testing conducted under this | ||||||
20 | Section shall not be admissible on the issue of the | ||||||
21 | defendant's guilt in connection with any criminal charge. | ||||||
22 | (i) The court may require that the defendant pay for the | ||||||
23 | cost of drug testing.
| ||||||
24 | (725 ILCS 5/110-7.1 new) | ||||||
25 | Sec. 110-7.1. Deposit of bail security. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) The person for whom bail has been set shall execute the | ||||||
2 | bail bond and deposit with the clerk of the court before which | ||||||
3 | the proceeding is pending a sum of money equal to 10% of the | ||||||
4 | bail, but in no event shall such deposit be less than $25. The | ||||||
5 | clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a | ||||||
6 | person other than the accused who has provided the money for | ||||||
7 | the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an | ||||||
8 | accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a | ||||||
9 | person other than the accused has provided the money for the | ||||||
10 | posting of bail. The form shall also include a written notice | ||||||
11 | to such person who has provided the defendant with the money | ||||||
12 | for the posting of bail indicating that the bail may be used to | ||||||
13 | pay costs, attorney's fees, fines, or other purposes | ||||||
14 | authorized by the court and if the defendant fails to comply | ||||||
15 | with the conditions of the bail bond, the court shall enter an | ||||||
16 | order declaring the bail to be forfeited. The written notice | ||||||
17 | must be: (1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in | ||||||
18 | bold type or underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2 | ||||||
19 | points larger than the surrounding type. When a person for | ||||||
20 | whom bail has been set is charged with an offense under the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine | ||||||
22 | Control and Community Protection Act which is a Class X | ||||||
23 | felony, or making a terrorist threat in violation of Section | ||||||
24 | 29D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of | ||||||
25 | 2012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a terrorist | ||||||
26 | threat, the court may require the defendant to deposit a sum |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equal to 100% of the bail. Where any person is charged with a | ||||||
2 | forcible felony while free on bail and is the subject of | ||||||
3 | proceedings under Section 109-3 of this Code the judge | ||||||
4 | conducting the preliminary examination may also conduct a | ||||||
5 | hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to the | ||||||
6 | provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or revoke | ||||||
7 | the bail for that person's prior alleged offense. | ||||||
8 | (b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized | ||||||
9 | by law, the person shall be released from custody subject to | ||||||
10 | the conditions of the bail bond. | ||||||
11 | (c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is | ||||||
12 | thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent | ||||||
13 | jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail | ||||||
14 | in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of | ||||||
15 | this Code. | ||||||
16 | (d) After conviction the court may order that the original | ||||||
17 | bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce | ||||||
18 | bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2. | ||||||
19 | (e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing | ||||||
20 | or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the | ||||||
21 | reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof | ||||||
22 | sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the | ||||||
23 | amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal | ||||||
24 | subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2. | ||||||
25 | (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been | ||||||
26 | performed and the accused has been discharged from all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to | ||||||
2 | the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment | ||||||
3 | executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the | ||||||
4 | court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been | ||||||
5 | deposited and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount | ||||||
6 | deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by | ||||||
7 | the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding | ||||||
8 | the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or | ||||||
9 | more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as | ||||||
10 | bail bond costs exceed $100. Bail bond deposited by or on | ||||||
11 | behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's | ||||||
12 | discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same | ||||||
13 | defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court | ||||||
14 | costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of | ||||||
15 | record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more, | ||||||
16 | the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf | ||||||
17 | of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial | ||||||
18 | obligations of that same defendant in a different case until | ||||||
19 | the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and | ||||||
20 | attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been | ||||||
21 | deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are | ||||||
22 | satisfied. In counties with a population of less than | ||||||
23 | 3,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or | ||||||
24 | on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy | ||||||
25 | financial obligations of that same defendant in a different | ||||||
26 | case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited. | ||||||
2 | At the request of the defendant the court may order such | ||||||
3 | 90% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is | ||||||
4 | repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to | ||||||
5 | defendant's attorney of record. | ||||||
6 | (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of | ||||||
7 | the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an | ||||||
8 | order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order | ||||||
9 | of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his | ||||||
10 | last known address. If the accused does not appear and | ||||||
11 | surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from | ||||||
12 | the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the | ||||||
13 | court that appearance and surrender by the accused is | ||||||
14 | impossible and without his fault the court shall enter | ||||||
15 | judgment for the State if the charge for which the bond was | ||||||
16 | given was a felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was | ||||||
17 | quasi-criminal or traffic, judgment for the political | ||||||
18 | subdivision of the State which prosecuted the case, against | ||||||
19 | the accused for the amount of the bail and costs of the court | ||||||
20 | proceedings; however, in counties with a population of less | ||||||
21 | than 3,000,000, instead of the court entering a judgment for | ||||||
22 | the full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion, | ||||||
23 | enter judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs, | ||||||
24 | retain the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond | ||||||
25 | was posted for failure to appear in a matter involving | ||||||
26 | enforcement of child support or maintenance, the amount of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cash deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be | ||||||
2 | awarded to the person or entity to whom the child support or | ||||||
3 | maintenance is due. The deposit made in accordance with | ||||||
4 | paragraph (a) shall be applied to the payment of costs. If | ||||||
5 | judgment is entered and any amount of such deposit remains | ||||||
6 | after the payment of costs it shall be applied to payment of | ||||||
7 | the judgment and transferred to the treasury of the municipal | ||||||
8 | corporation wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a | ||||||
9 | violation of any penal ordinance of a political subdivision of | ||||||
10 | this State, or to the treasury of the county wherein the bond | ||||||
11 | was taken if the offense was a violation of any penal statute | ||||||
12 | of this State. The balance of the judgment may be enforced and | ||||||
13 | collected in the same manner as a judgment entered in a civil | ||||||
14 | action. | ||||||
15 | (h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either | ||||||
16 | is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had | ||||||
17 | been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such | ||||||
18 | deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied | ||||||
19 | to the payment of the judgment. | ||||||
20 | (i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged | ||||||
21 | violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of | ||||||
22 | 2012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish | ||||||
23 | and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or | ||||||
24 | a comparable offense of a unit of local government as | ||||||
25 | specified in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does | ||||||
26 | not appear in court on the date set for appearance or any date |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to which the case may be continued and the court issues an | ||||||
2 | arrest warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure | ||||||
3 | to appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by | ||||||
4 | the court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall | ||||||
5 | be assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall | ||||||
6 | be a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the | ||||||
7 | court. The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the | ||||||
8 | accused is required to deposit for the offense for which the | ||||||
9 | accused has been charged and may not be used for the payment of | ||||||
10 | court costs or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the | ||||||
11 | court shall remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting | ||||||
12 | agency who brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the | ||||||
13 | Department of State Police is the arresting agency, $70 of the | ||||||
14 | fee assessed shall be remitted by the clerk of the court to the | ||||||
15 | State Treasurer within one month after receipt for deposit | ||||||
16 | into the State Police Operations Assistance Fund. The clerk of | ||||||
17 | the court shall remit $5 of the fee assessed to the Circuit | ||||||
18 | Court Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund as provided in | ||||||
19 | Section 27.3d of the Clerks of Courts Act.

19 | the appearance of the accused in accordance with the | ||||||
20 | conditions of the bail bond. | ||||||
21 | (d) The sworn schedule shall constitute a material part of | ||||||
22 | the bail bond. The affiant commits perjury if in the sworn | ||||||
23 | schedule he makes a false statement which he does not believe | ||||||
24 | to be true. He shall be prosecuted and punished accordingly, | ||||||
25 | or, he may be punished for contempt. | ||||||
26 | (e) A certified copy of the bail bond and schedule of real |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | estate shall be filed immediately in the office of the | ||||||
2 | registrar of titles or recorder of the county in which the real | ||||||
3 | estate is situated and the State shall have a lien on such real | ||||||
4 | estate from the time such copies are filed in the office of the | ||||||
5 | registrar of titles or recorder. The registrar of titles or | ||||||
6 | recorder shall enter, index and record (or register as the | ||||||
7 | case may be) such bail bonds and schedules without requiring | ||||||
8 | any advance fee, which fee shall be taxed as costs in the | ||||||
9 | proceeding and paid out of such costs when collected. | ||||||
10 | (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been | ||||||
11 | performed and the accused has been discharged from his | ||||||
12 | obligations in the cause, the clerk of the court shall return | ||||||
13 | to him or his sureties the deposit of any cash, stocks or | ||||||
14 | bonds. If the bail bond has been secured by real estate the | ||||||
15 | clerk of the court shall forthwith notify in writing the | ||||||
16 | registrar of titles or recorder and the lien of the bail bond | ||||||
17 | on the real estate shall be discharged. | ||||||
18 | (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of | ||||||
19 | the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an | ||||||
20 | order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order | ||||||
21 | of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith by the clerk of the | ||||||
22 | court to the accused and his sureties at their last known | ||||||
23 | address. If the accused does not appear and surrender to the | ||||||
24 | court having jurisdiction within 30 days from the date of the | ||||||
25 | forfeiture or within such period satisfy the court that | ||||||
26 | appearance and surrender by the accused is impossible and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | without his fault the court shall enter judgment for the State | ||||||
2 | against the accused and his sureties for the amount of the bail | ||||||
3 | and costs of the proceedings; however, in counties with a | ||||||
4 | population of less than 3,000,000, if the defendant has posted | ||||||
5 | a cash bond, instead of the court entering a judgment for the | ||||||
6 | full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion, enter | ||||||
7 | judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs, retain | ||||||
8 | the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond was | ||||||
9 | posted for failure to appear in a matter involving enforcement | ||||||
10 | of child support or maintenance, the amount of the cash | ||||||
11 | deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be awarded to | ||||||
12 | the person or entity to whom the child support or maintenance | ||||||
13 | is due. | ||||||
14 | (h) When judgment is entered in favor of the State on any | ||||||
15 | bail bond given for a felony or misdemeanor, or judgment for a | ||||||
16 | political subdivision of the state on any bail bond given for a | ||||||
17 | quasi-criminal or traffic offense, the State's Attorney or | ||||||
18 | political subdivision's attorney shall forthwith obtain a | ||||||
19 | certified copy of the judgment and deliver same to the sheriff | ||||||
20 | to be enforced by levy on the stocks or bonds deposited with | ||||||
21 | the clerk of the court and the real estate described in the | ||||||
22 | bail bond schedule. Any cash forfeited under subsection (g) of | ||||||
23 | this Section shall be used to satisfy the judgment and costs | ||||||
24 | and, without necessity of levy, ordered paid into the treasury | ||||||
25 | of the municipal corporation wherein the bail bond was taken | ||||||
26 | if the offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | political subdivision of this State, or into the treasury of | ||||||
2 | the county wherein the bail bond was taken if the offense was a | ||||||
3 | violation of any penal statute of this State, or to the person | ||||||
4 | or entity to whom child support or maintenance is owed if the | ||||||
5 | bond was taken for failure to appear in a matter involving | ||||||
6 | child support or maintenance. The stocks, bonds and real | ||||||
7 | estate shall be sold in the same manner as in sales for the | ||||||
8 | enforcement of a judgment in civil actions and the proceeds of | ||||||
9 | such sale shall be used to satisfy all court costs, prior | ||||||
10 | encumbrances, if any, and from the balance a sufficient amount | ||||||
11 | to satisfy the judgment shall be paid into the treasury of the | ||||||
12 | municipal corporation wherein the bail bond was taken if the | ||||||
13 | offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a political | ||||||
14 | subdivision of this State, or into the treasury of the county | ||||||
15 | wherein the bail bond was taken if the offense was a violation | ||||||
16 | of any penal statute of this State. The balance shall be | ||||||
17 | returned to the owner. The real estate so sold may be redeemed | ||||||
18 | in the same manner as real estate may be redeemed after | ||||||
19 | judicial sales or sales for the enforcement of judgments in | ||||||
20 | civil actions. | ||||||
21 | (i) No stocks, bonds or real estate may be used or accepted | ||||||
22 | as bail bond security in this State more than once in any 12 | ||||||
23 | month period.

11 | of this Code shall accept payments made in the form of | ||||||

10 | jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting | ||||||
11 | attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may | ||||||
12 | assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal | ||||||
13 | case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any | ||||||
14 | court proceeding, including on appeal. | ||||||
15 | (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights. | ||||||
16 | (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a | ||||||
17 | victim's right or request enforcement of a right by | ||||||
18 | filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or | ||||||
19 | requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal | ||||||
20 | case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting | ||||||
21 | attorney shall consult with the victim and the | ||||||
22 | victim's attorney regarding the assertion or | ||||||
23 | enforcement of a right. If the prosecuting attorney | ||||||
24 | decides not to assert or enforce a victim's right, the | ||||||
25 | prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the | ||||||
26 | victim's attorney in sufficient time to allow the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | victim or the victim's attorney to assert the right or | ||||||
2 | to seek enforcement of a right. | ||||||
3 | (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to | ||||||
4 | assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a | ||||||
5 | right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert | ||||||
6 | the victim's right or request enforcement of a right | ||||||
7 | by filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or | ||||||
8 | requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal | ||||||
9 | case outside the presence of the jury. | ||||||
10 | (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's | ||||||
11 | right or seeks enforcement of a right, unless the | ||||||
12 | prosecuting attorney objects or the trial court does | ||||||
13 | not allow it, the victim or the victim's attorney may | ||||||
14 | be heard regarding the prosecuting attorney's motion | ||||||
15 | or may file a simultaneous motion to assert or request | ||||||
16 | enforcement of the victim's right. If the victim or | ||||||
17 | the victim's attorney was not allowed to be heard at | ||||||
18 | the hearing regarding the prosecuting attorney's | ||||||
19 | motion, and the court denies the prosecuting | ||||||
20 | attorney's assertion of the right or denies the | ||||||
21 | request for enforcement of a right, the victim or | ||||||
22 | victim's attorney may file a motion to assert the | ||||||
23 | victim's right or to request enforcement of the right | ||||||
24 | within 10 days of the court's ruling. The motion need | ||||||
25 | not demonstrate the grounds for a motion for | ||||||
26 | reconsideration. The court shall rule on the merits of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the motion. | ||||||
2 | (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion | ||||||
3 | or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a | ||||||
4 | victim's right without delay, unless a specific time | ||||||
5 | period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons | ||||||
6 | for any decision denying the motion or request shall | ||||||
7 | be clearly stated on the record. | ||||||
8 | (E) No later than January 1, 2023, the Office of | ||||||
9 | the Attorney General shall: | ||||||
10 | (i) designate an administrative authority | ||||||
11 | within the Office of the Attorney General to | ||||||
12 | receive and investigate complaints relating to the | ||||||
13 | provision or violation of the rights of a crime | ||||||
14 | victim as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of | ||||||
15 | the Illinois Constitution and in this Act; | ||||||
16 | (ii) create and administer a course of | ||||||
17 | training for employees and offices of the State of | ||||||
18 | Illinois that fail to comply with provisions of | ||||||
19 | Illinois law pertaining to the treatment of crime | ||||||
20 | victims as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of | ||||||
21 | the Illinois Constitution and in this Act as | ||||||
22 | required by the court under Section 5 of this Act; | ||||||
23 | and | ||||||
24 | (iii) have the authority to make | ||||||
25 | recommendations to employees and offices of the | ||||||
26 | State of Illinois to respond more effectively to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the needs of crime victims, including regarding | ||||||
2 | the violation of the rights of a crime victim. | ||||||
3 | (F) Crime victims' rights may also be asserted by | ||||||
4 | filing a complaint for mandamus, injunctive, or | ||||||
5 | declaratory relief in the jurisdiction in which the | ||||||
6 | victim's right is being violated or where the crime is | ||||||
7 | being prosecuted. For complaints or motions filed by | ||||||
8 | or on behalf of the victim, the clerk of court shall | ||||||
9 | waive filing fees that would otherwise be owed by the | ||||||
10 | victim for any court filing with the purpose of | ||||||
11 | enforcing crime victims' rights. If the court denies | ||||||
12 | the relief sought by the victim, the reasons for the | ||||||
13 | denial shall be clearly stated on the record in the | ||||||
14 | transcript of the proceedings, in a written opinion, | ||||||
15 | or in the docket entry, and the victim may appeal the | ||||||
16 | circuit court's decision to the appellate court. The | ||||||
17 | court shall issue prompt rulings regarding victims' | ||||||
18 | rights. Proceedings seeking to enforce victims' rights | ||||||
19 | shall not be stayed or subject to unreasonable delay | ||||||
20 | via continuances. | ||||||
21 | (5) Violation of rights and remedies. | ||||||
22 | (A) If the court determines that a victim's right | ||||||
23 | has been violated, the court shall determine the | ||||||
24 | appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's | ||||||
25 | right by hearing from the victim and the parties, | ||||||
26 | considering all factors relevant to the issue, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | then awarding appropriate relief to the victim. | ||||||
2 | (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive | ||||||
3 | nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional | ||||||
4 | or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding | ||||||
5 | labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se | ||||||
6 | violation of a victim's right. | ||||||
7 | (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only | ||||||
8 | actions necessary to provide the victim the right to | ||||||
9 | which the victim was entitled. Remedies may include, | ||||||
10 | but are not limited to: injunctive relief requiring | ||||||
11 | the victim's right to be afforded; declaratory | ||||||
12 | judgment recognizing or clarifying the victim's | ||||||
13 | rights; a writ of mandamus; and may include reopening | ||||||
14 | previously held proceedings; however, in no event | ||||||
15 | shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall | ||||||
16 | be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate | ||||||
17 | remedy without violating any constitutional right of | ||||||
18 | the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate | ||||||
19 | remedy to the victim be a new trial or damages. | ||||||
20 | The court shall impose a mandatory training course | ||||||
21 | provided by the Attorney General for the employee under | ||||||
22 | item (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (4), which must | ||||||
23 | be successfully completed within 6 months of the entry of | ||||||
24 | the court order. | ||||||
25 | This paragraph (5) takes effect January 2, 2023. | ||||||
26 | (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise | ||||||
2 | the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses. | ||||||
3 | (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written | ||||||
4 | motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days | ||||||
5 | prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with | ||||||
6 | specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a | ||||||
7 | constitutional right of the party, and must contain an | ||||||
8 | offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within | ||||||
9 | 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set | ||||||
10 | forth on the record the facts that support its finding | ||||||
11 | that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if | ||||||
12 | the victim hears other testimony at trial. | ||||||
13 | (8) Right to have advocate and support person present | ||||||
14 | at court proceedings. | ||||||
15 | (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a | ||||||
16 | witness at trial must seek permission of the court | ||||||
17 | before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a | ||||||
18 | written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets | ||||||
19 | forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's | ||||||
20 | testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding | ||||||
21 | (i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the | ||||||
22 | advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and | ||||||
23 | materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court | ||||||
24 | shall consider the motion and make findings within 30 | ||||||
25 | days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by | ||||||
26 | a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute | ||||||
2 | privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains | ||||||
3 | relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is | ||||||
4 | not available through other witnesses or evidence, the | ||||||
5 | court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to | ||||||
6 | appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The | ||||||
7 | prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days | ||||||
8 | to seek appellate review before the advocate is | ||||||
9 | required to testify at an ex parte in camera | ||||||
10 | proceeding. | ||||||
11 | The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the | ||||||
12 | advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at | ||||||
13 | the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after | ||||||
14 | conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court | ||||||
15 | determines that due process requires any testimony | ||||||
16 | regarding confidential or privileged information or | ||||||
17 | communications, the court shall provide to the | ||||||
18 | prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's | ||||||
19 | attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the | ||||||
20 | advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the | ||||||
21 | victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days | ||||||
22 | to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be | ||||||
23 | issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The | ||||||
24 | presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte | ||||||
25 | in camera proceeding does not make the substance of | ||||||
26 | the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inadmissible subject to discovery. | ||||||
2 | (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a | ||||||
3 | support person present at the court proceedings, the | ||||||
4 | victim shall provide the name of the person the victim | ||||||
5 | has chosen to be the victim's support person to the | ||||||
6 | prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The | ||||||
7 | prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the | ||||||
8 | defendant. If the defendant intends to call the | ||||||
9 | support person as a witness at trial, the defendant | ||||||
10 | must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is | ||||||
11 | issued. The defendant must file a written motion at | ||||||
12 | least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth | ||||||
13 | specifically the issues on which the support person | ||||||
14 | will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the | ||||||
15 | content of the anticipated testimony of the support | ||||||
16 | person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and | ||||||
17 | materiality of the anticipated testimony. | ||||||
18 | If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the | ||||||
19 | support person as a witness during the State's | ||||||
20 | case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform | ||||||
21 | the court of this intent in the response to the | ||||||
22 | defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a | ||||||
23 | different person to be the victim's support person. | ||||||
24 | The court may allow the defendant to inquire about | ||||||
25 | matters outside the scope of the direct examination | ||||||
26 | during cross-examination. If the court allows the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defendant to do so, the support person shall be | ||||||
2 | allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support | ||||||
3 | person has testified. A defendant who fails to | ||||||
4 | question the support person about matters outside the | ||||||
5 | scope of direct examination during the State's | ||||||
6 | case-in-chief waives the right to challenge the | ||||||
7 | presence of the support person on appeal. The court | ||||||
8 | shall allow the support person to testify if called as | ||||||
9 | a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the | ||||||
10 | State's rebuttal. | ||||||
11 | If the court does not allow the defendant to | ||||||
12 | inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct | ||||||
13 | examination, the support person shall be allowed to | ||||||
14 | remain in the courtroom after the support person has | ||||||
15 | been called by the defendant or the defendant has | ||||||
16 | rested. The court shall allow the support person to | ||||||
17 | testify in the State's rebuttal. | ||||||
18 | If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to | ||||||
19 | call the support person in the State's case-in-chief, | ||||||
20 | the court shall verify with the support person whether | ||||||
21 | the support person, if called as a witness, would | ||||||
22 | testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the | ||||||
23 | court finds that the support person would testify as | ||||||
24 | set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule | ||||||
25 | on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of | ||||||
26 | the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall | ||||||
2 | issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in | ||||||
3 | the courtroom after the support person testifies and | ||||||
4 | shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal. | ||||||
5 | If the court excludes the victim's support person | ||||||
6 | during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be | ||||||
7 | allowed to choose another support person to be present | ||||||
8 | in court. | ||||||
9 | If the victim fails to designate a support person | ||||||
10 | within 60 days of trial and the defendant has | ||||||
11 | subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the | ||||||
12 | court may exclude the support person from the trial | ||||||
13 | until the support person testifies. If the court | ||||||
14 | excludes the support person the victim may choose | ||||||
15 | another person as a support person. | ||||||
16 | (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of | ||||||
17 | confidential or privileged information or records. | ||||||
18 | (A) A defendant who seeks to subpoena testimony or | ||||||
19 | records of or concerning the victim that are | ||||||
20 | confidential or privileged by law must seek permission | ||||||
21 | of the court before the subpoena is issued. The | ||||||
22 | defendant must file a written motion and an offer of | ||||||
23 | proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and | ||||||
24 | materiality of the testimony or records. If the court | ||||||
25 | finds by a preponderance of the evidence that: | ||||||
26 | (i) the testimony or records are not protected |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by an absolute privilege and | ||||||
2 | (ii) the testimony or records contain | ||||||
3 | relevant, admissible, and material evidence that | ||||||
4 | is not available through other witnesses or | ||||||
5 | evidence, the court shall issue a subpoena | ||||||
6 | requiring the witness to appear in camera or a | ||||||
7 | sealed copy of the records be delivered to the | ||||||
8 | court to be reviewed in camera. If, after | ||||||
9 | conducting an in camera review of the witness | ||||||
10 | statement or records, the court determines that | ||||||
11 | due process requires disclosure of any potential | ||||||
12 | testimony or any portion of the records, the court | ||||||
13 | shall provide copies of the records that it | ||||||
14 | intends to disclose to the prosecuting attorney | ||||||
15 | and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the | ||||||
16 | victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review | ||||||
17 | before the records are disclosed to the defendant, | ||||||
18 | used in any court proceeding, or disclosed to | ||||||
19 | anyone or in any way that would subject the | ||||||
20 | testimony or records to public review. The | ||||||
21 | disclosure of copies of any portion of the | ||||||
22 | testimony or records to the prosecuting attorney | ||||||
23 | under this Section does not make the records | ||||||
24 | subject to discovery or required to be provided to | ||||||
25 | the defendant. | ||||||
26 | (B) A prosecuting attorney who seeks to subpoena |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | information or records concerning the victim that are | ||||||
2 | confidential or privileged by law must first request | ||||||
3 | the written consent of the crime victim. If the victim | ||||||
4 | does not provide such written consent, including where | ||||||
5 | necessary the appropriate signed document required for | ||||||
6 | waiving privilege, the prosecuting attorney must serve | ||||||
7 | the subpoena at least 21 days prior to the date a | ||||||
8 | response or appearance is required to allow the | ||||||
9 | subject of the subpoena time to file a motion to quash | ||||||
10 | or request a hearing. The prosecuting attorney must | ||||||
11 | also send a written notice to the victim at least 21 | ||||||
12 | days prior to the response date to allow the victim to | ||||||
13 | file a motion or request a hearing. The notice to the | ||||||
14 | victim shall inform the victim (i) that a subpoena has | ||||||
15 | been issued for confidential information or records | ||||||
16 | concerning the victim, (ii) that the victim has the | ||||||
17 | right to request a hearing prior to the response date | ||||||
18 | of the subpoena, and (iii) how to request the hearing. | ||||||
19 | The notice to the victim shall also include a copy of | ||||||
20 | the subpoena. If requested, a hearing regarding the | ||||||
21 | subpoena shall occur before information or records are | ||||||
22 | provided to the prosecuting attorney. | ||||||
23 | (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the | ||||||
24 | victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a | ||||||
25 | right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the | ||||||
26 | prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and | ||||||
2 | that the victim had a right to be heard at the court | ||||||
3 | proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was | ||||||
4 | not given or that the victim was not adequately informed | ||||||
5 | of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not | ||||||
6 | rule on any substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a | ||||||
7 | sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time | ||||||
8 | necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and | ||||||
9 | nature of the court proceeding. The time between court | ||||||
10 | proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under | ||||||
11 | Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. | ||||||
12 | (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim | ||||||
13 | has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to | ||||||
14 | minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting | ||||||
15 | from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling | ||||||
16 | on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, | ||||||
17 | the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the | ||||||
18 | request for the delay and, if the victim has provided | ||||||
19 | written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely | ||||||
20 | disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay. | ||||||
21 | If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the | ||||||
22 | court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has | ||||||
23 | not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the | ||||||
24 | prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to | ||||||
25 | confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor | ||||||
26 | to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the | ||||||
2 | prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to | ||||||
3 | confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue, | ||||||
4 | the court shall consider the reasons for the requested | ||||||
5 | continuance, the number and length of continuances that | ||||||
6 | have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures | ||||||
7 | to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over | ||||||
8 | the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the | ||||||
9 | record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures | ||||||
10 | that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays. | ||||||
11 | (12) Right to Restitution. | ||||||
12 | (A) If the victim has asserted the right to | ||||||
13 | restitution and the amount of restitution is known at | ||||||
14 | the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the | ||||||
15 | judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing. | ||||||
16 | (B) If the victim has asserted the right to | ||||||
17 | restitution and the amount of restitution is not known | ||||||
18 | at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, | ||||||
19 | within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what | ||||||
20 | information and documentation related to restitution | ||||||
21 | is needed and that the information and documentation | ||||||
22 | must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days | ||||||
23 | after sentencing. Failure to timely provide | ||||||
24 | information and documentation related to restitution | ||||||
25 | shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution. | ||||||
26 | The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution | ||||||
2 | and a notice that includes information concerning the | ||||||
3 | identity of any victims or other persons seeking | ||||||
4 | restitution, whether any victim or other person | ||||||
5 | expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount | ||||||
6 | of any damages together with any supporting | ||||||
7 | documentation, a restitution amount recommendation, | ||||||
8 | and the names of any co-defendants and their case | ||||||
9 | numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed | ||||||
10 | judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any | ||||||
11 | objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of | ||||||
12 | grounds for the objection, and a financial statement. | ||||||
13 | If the defendant does not file an objection, the court | ||||||
14 | may enter the judgment for restitution without further | ||||||
15 | proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and | ||||||
16 | either party requests a hearing, the court shall | ||||||
17 | schedule a hearing. | ||||||
18 | (13) Access to presentence reports. | ||||||
19 | (A) The victim may request a copy of the | ||||||
20 | presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of | ||||||
21 | Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's | ||||||
22 | Attorney shall redact the following information before | ||||||
23 | providing a copy of the report: | ||||||
24 | (i) the defendant's mental history and | ||||||
25 | condition; | ||||||
26 | (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and | ||||||
2 | (iii) the name, address, phone number, and | ||||||
3 | other personal information about any other victim. | ||||||
4 | (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may | ||||||
5 | request the court redact other information in the | ||||||
6 | report that may endanger the safety of any person. | ||||||
7 | (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to | ||||||
8 | the victim any of the information that has been | ||||||
9 | redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the | ||||||
10 | information will be stated in court at the sentencing. | ||||||
11 | (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim | ||||||
12 | that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of | ||||||
13 | the report and other information. Any dissemination of | ||||||
14 | the report or information that was not stated at a | ||||||
15 | court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal | ||||||
16 | contempt of court. | ||||||
17 | (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the | ||||||
18 | relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or | ||||||
19 | the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days | ||||||
20 | of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court | ||||||
21 | may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a | ||||||
22 | stay would not violate a constitutional right of the | ||||||
23 | defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief | ||||||
24 | sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated | ||||||
25 | in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the | ||||||
26 | State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal | ||||||
2 | relates. | ||||||
3 | (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall | ||||||
4 | an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the | ||||||
5 | violation of a victim's right. | ||||||
6 | (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the | ||||||
7 | accused throughout the criminal justice process and the | ||||||
8 | right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's | ||||||
9 | family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, | ||||||
10 | determining whether to release the defendant, and setting | ||||||
11 | conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A | ||||||
12 | victim of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking | ||||||
13 | may request the entry of a protective order under Article | ||||||
14 | 112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. | ||||||
15 | (d) Procedures after the imposition of sentence. | ||||||
16 | (1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or | ||||||
17 | any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the | ||||||
18 | prisoner's release on parole, mandatory supervised | ||||||
19 | release, electronic detention, work release, international | ||||||
20 | transfer or exchange, or by the custodian, other than the | ||||||
21 | Department of Juvenile Justice, of the discharge of any | ||||||
22 | individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime | ||||||
23 | from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate | ||||||
24 | county of any such person's final discharge from county | ||||||
25 | custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request, | ||||||
26 | shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recent photograph of any person convicted of a felony, | ||||||
2 | upon his or her release from custody. The Prisoner Review | ||||||
3 | Board, upon written request, shall inform a victim or any | ||||||
4 | other concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days | ||||||
5 | prior to the prisoner's release on furlough of the times | ||||||
6 | and dates of such furlough. Upon written request by the | ||||||
7 | victim or any other concerned citizen, the State's | ||||||
8 | Attorney shall notify the person once of the times and | ||||||
9 | dates of release of a prisoner sentenced to periodic | ||||||
10 | imprisonment. Notification shall be based on the most | ||||||
11 | recent information as to the victim's or other concerned | ||||||
12 | citizen's residence or other location available to the | ||||||
13 | notifying authority. | ||||||
14 | (2) When the defendant has been committed to the | ||||||
15 | Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or | ||||||
16 | any other provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, | ||||||
17 | the victim may request to be notified by the releasing | ||||||
18 | authority of the approval by the court of an on-grounds | ||||||
19 | pass, a supervised off-grounds pass, an unsupervised | ||||||
20 | off-grounds pass, or conditional release; the release on | ||||||
21 | an off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass; | ||||||
22 | transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape; | ||||||
23 | death; or final discharge from State custody. The | ||||||
24 | Department of Human Services shall establish and maintain | ||||||
25 | a statewide telephone number to be used by victims to make | ||||||
26 | notification requests under these provisions and shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | publicize this telephone number on its website and to the | ||||||
2 | State's Attorney of each county. | ||||||
3 | (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the | ||||||
4 | Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile | ||||||
5 | Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board | ||||||
6 | of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify | ||||||
7 | the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most | ||||||
8 | recent information as to the victim's residence or other | ||||||
9 | location available to the Board. When no such information | ||||||
10 | is available, the Board shall make all reasonable efforts | ||||||
11 | to obtain the information and make the notification. When | ||||||
12 | the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections | ||||||
13 | or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall | ||||||
14 | notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall | ||||||
15 | notify the victim. | ||||||
16 | (4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has | ||||||
17 | been sentenced has the right to register with the Prisoner | ||||||
18 | Review Board's victim registry. Victims registered with | ||||||
19 | the Board shall receive reasonable written notice not less | ||||||
20 | than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target | ||||||
21 | aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit | ||||||
22 | a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner | ||||||
23 | Review Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice in | ||||||
24 | writing, on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or | ||||||
25 | in the form of a recording prior to the parole hearing or | ||||||
26 | target aftercare release date, or in person at the parole |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearing or aftercare release protest hearing, or by | ||||||
2 | calling the toll-free number established in subsection (f) | ||||||
3 | of this Section. The victim shall be notified within 7 | ||||||
4 | days after the prisoner has been granted parole or | ||||||
5 | aftercare release and shall be informed of the right to | ||||||
6 | inspect the registry of parole decisions, established | ||||||
7 | under subsection (g) of Section 3-3-5 of the Unified Code | ||||||
8 | of Corrections. The provisions of this paragraph (4) are | ||||||
9 | subject to the Open Parole Hearings Act. Victim statements | ||||||
10 | provided to the Board shall be confidential and | ||||||
11 | privileged, including any statements received prior to | ||||||
12 | January 1, 2020 (the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
13 | 101-288), except if the statement was an oral statement | ||||||
14 | made by the victim at a hearing open to the public. | ||||||
15 | (4-1) The crime victim has the right to submit a | ||||||
16 | victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review | ||||||
17 | Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to or at | ||||||
18 | a hearing to determine the conditions of mandatory | ||||||
19 | supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate | ||||||
20 | sentence or at a hearing on revocation of mandatory | ||||||
21 | supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate | ||||||
22 | sentence. A victim statement may be submitted in writing, | ||||||
23 | on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or in the | ||||||
24 | form of a recording, or orally at a hearing, or by calling | ||||||
25 | the toll-free number established in subsection (f) of this | ||||||
26 | Section. Victim statements provided to the Board shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | confidential and privileged, including any statements | ||||||
2 | received prior to January 1, 2020 (the effective date of | ||||||
3 | Public Act 101-288), except if the statement was an oral | ||||||
4 | statement made by the victim at a hearing open to the | ||||||
5 | public. | ||||||
6 | (4-2) The crime victim has the right to submit a | ||||||
7 | victim statement to the Prisoner Review Board for | ||||||
8 | consideration at an executive clemency hearing as provided | ||||||
9 | in Section 3-3-13 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A | ||||||
10 | victim statement may be submitted in writing, on film, | ||||||
11 | videotape, or other electronic means, or in the form of a | ||||||

17 | sentence of county impact incarceration - hearing. | ||||||
18 | (a) Except in cases where conditional discharge or | ||||||
19 | supervision was imposed for a petty offense as defined in | ||||||
20 | Section 5-1-17, when a petition is filed charging a violation | ||||||
21 | of a condition, the court may: | ||||||
22 | (1) in the case of probation violations, order the | ||||||
23 | issuance of a notice to the offender to be present by the | ||||||
24 | County Probation Department or such other agency | ||||||
25 | designated by the court to handle probation matters; and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the case of conditional discharge or supervision | ||||||
2 | violations, such notice to the offender shall be issued by | ||||||
3 | the Circuit Court Clerk; and in the case of a violation of | ||||||
4 | a sentence of county impact incarceration, such notice | ||||||
5 | shall be issued by the Sheriff; | ||||||
6 | (2) order a summons to the offender to be present for | ||||||
7 | hearing; or | ||||||
8 | (3) order a warrant for the offender's arrest where | ||||||
9 | there is danger of his fleeing the jurisdiction or causing | ||||||
10 | serious harm to others or when the offender fails to | ||||||
11 | answer a summons or notice from the clerk of the court or | ||||||
12 | Sheriff. | ||||||
13 | Personal service of the petition for violation of | ||||||
14 | probation or the issuance of such warrant, summons or notice | ||||||
15 | shall toll the period of probation, conditional discharge, | ||||||
16 | supervision, or sentence of county impact incarceration until | ||||||
17 | the final determination of the charge, and the term of | ||||||
18 | probation, conditional discharge, supervision, or sentence of | ||||||
19 | county impact incarceration shall not run until the hearing | ||||||
20 | and disposition of the petition for violation. | ||||||
21 | (b) The court shall conduct a hearing of the alleged | ||||||
22 | violation. The court shall admit the offender to bail pretrial | ||||||
23 | release pending the hearing unless the alleged violation is | ||||||
24 | itself a criminal offense in which case the offender shall be | ||||||
25 | admitted to bail pretrial release on such terms as are | ||||||
26 | provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amended. In any case where an offender remains incarcerated | ||||||
2 | only as a result of his alleged violation of the court's | ||||||
3 | earlier order of probation, supervision, conditional | ||||||
4 | discharge, or county impact incarceration such hearing shall | ||||||
5 | be held within 14 days of the onset of said incarceration, | ||||||
6 | unless the alleged violation is the commission of another | ||||||
7 | offense by the offender during the period of probation, | ||||||
8 | supervision or conditional discharge in which case such | ||||||
9 | hearing shall be held within the time limits described in | ||||||
10 | Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as | ||||||
11 | amended. | ||||||
12 | (c) The State has the burden of going forward with the | ||||||
13 | evidence and proving the violation by the preponderance of the | ||||||
14 | evidence. The evidence shall be presented in open court with | ||||||
15 | the right of confrontation, cross-examination, and | ||||||
16 | representation by counsel. | ||||||
17 | (d) Probation, conditional discharge, periodic | ||||||
18 | imprisonment and supervision shall not be revoked for failure | ||||||
19 | to comply with conditions of a sentence or supervision, which | ||||||
20 | imposes financial obligations upon the offender unless such | ||||||
21 | failure is due to his willful refusal to pay. | ||||||
22 | (e) If the court finds that the offender has violated a | ||||||
23 | condition at any time prior to the expiration or termination | ||||||
24 | of the period, it may continue him on the existing sentence, | ||||||
25 | with or without modifying or enlarging the conditions, or may | ||||||
26 | impose any other sentence that was available under Article 4.5 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the Illinois | ||||||
2 | Vehicle Code at the time of initial sentencing. If the court | ||||||
3 | finds that the person has failed to successfully complete his | ||||||
4 | or her sentence to a county impact incarceration program, the | ||||||
5 | court may impose any other sentence that was available under | ||||||
6 | Article 4.5 of Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the | ||||||
7 | Illinois Vehicle Code at the time of initial sentencing, | ||||||
8 | except for a sentence of probation or conditional discharge. | ||||||
9 | If the court finds that the offender has violated paragraph | ||||||
10 | (8.6) of subsection (a) of Section 5-6-3, the court shall | ||||||
11 | revoke the probation of the offender. If the court finds that | ||||||
12 | the offender has violated subsection (o) of Section 5-6-3.1, | ||||||
13 | the court shall revoke the supervision of the offender. | ||||||
14 | (f) The conditions of probation, of conditional discharge, | ||||||
15 | of supervision, or of a sentence of county impact | ||||||
16 | incarceration may be modified by the court on motion of the | ||||||
17 | supervising agency or on its own motion or at the request of | ||||||
18 | the offender after notice and a hearing. | ||||||
19 | (g) A judgment revoking supervision, probation, | ||||||
20 | conditional discharge, or a sentence of county impact | ||||||
21 | incarceration is a final appealable order. | ||||||
22 | (h) Resentencing after revocation of probation, | ||||||
23 | conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county | ||||||
24 | impact incarceration shall be under Article 4. The term on | ||||||
25 | probation, conditional discharge or supervision shall not be | ||||||
26 | credited by the court against a sentence of imprisonment or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | periodic imprisonment unless the court orders otherwise. The | ||||||
2 | amount of credit to be applied against a sentence of | ||||||
3 | imprisonment or periodic imprisonment when the defendant | ||||||
4 | served a term or partial term of periodic imprisonment shall | ||||||
5 | be calculated upon the basis of the actual days spent in | ||||||
6 | confinement rather than the duration of the term. | ||||||
7 | (i) Instead of filing a violation of probation, | ||||||
8 | conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county | ||||||
9 | impact incarceration, an agent or employee of the supervising | ||||||
10 | agency with the concurrence of his or her supervisor may serve | ||||||
11 | on the defendant a Notice of Intermediate Sanctions. The | ||||||
12 | Notice shall contain the technical violation or violations | ||||||
13 | involved, the date or dates of the violation or violations, | ||||||
14 | and the intermediate sanctions to be imposed. Upon receipt of | ||||||
15 | the Notice, the defendant shall immediately accept or reject | ||||||
16 | the intermediate sanctions. If the sanctions are accepted, | ||||||
17 | they shall be imposed immediately. If the intermediate | ||||||
18 | sanctions are rejected or the defendant does not respond to | ||||||
19 | the Notice, a violation of probation, conditional discharge, | ||||||
20 | supervision, or a sentence of county impact incarceration | ||||||
21 | shall be immediately filed with the court. The State's | ||||||
22 | Attorney and the sentencing court shall be notified of the | ||||||
23 | Notice of Sanctions. Upon successful completion of the | ||||||
24 | intermediate sanctions, a court may not revoke probation, | ||||||
25 | conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county | ||||||
26 | impact incarceration or impose additional sanctions for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | same violation. A notice of intermediate sanctions may not be | ||||||
2 | issued for any violation of probation, conditional discharge, | ||||||
3 | supervision, or a sentence of county impact incarceration | ||||||
4 | which could warrant an additional, separate felony charge. The | ||||||
5 | intermediate sanctions shall include a term of home detention | ||||||
6 | as provided in Article 8A of Chapter V of this Code for | ||||||
7 | multiple or repeat violations of the terms and conditions of a | ||||||
8 | sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision. | ||||||
9 | (j) When an offender is re-sentenced after revocation of | ||||||
10 | probation that was imposed in combination with a sentence of | ||||||
11 | imprisonment for the same offense, the aggregate of the | ||||||
12 | sentences may not exceed the maximum term authorized under | ||||||
13 | Article 4.5 of Chapter V. | ||||||
14 | (k)(1) On and after the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
15 | Act of the 101st General Assembly, this subsection (k) shall | ||||||
16 | apply to arrest warrants in Cook County only. An arrest | ||||||
17 | warrant issued under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) when the | ||||||
18 | underlying conviction is for the offense of theft, retail | ||||||
19 | theft, or possession of a controlled substance shall remain | ||||||
20 | active for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date the | ||||||
21 | warrant was issued unless a motion to extend the warrant is | ||||||
22 | filed by the office of the State's Attorney or by, or on behalf | ||||||
23 | of, the agency supervising the wanted person. A motion to | ||||||
24 | extend the warrant shall be filed within one year before the | ||||||
25 | warrant expiration date and notice shall be provided to the | ||||||
26 | office of the sheriff. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) If a motion to extend a warrant issued under paragraph | ||||||
2 | (3) of subsection (a) is not filed, the warrant shall be | ||||||
3 | quashed and recalled as a matter of law under paragraph (1) of | ||||||
4 | this subsection (k) and the wanted person's period of | ||||||
5 | probation, conditional discharge, or supervision shall | ||||||
6 | terminate unsatisfactorily as a matter of law. | ||||||

12 | or conditional discharge for the commission of a petty | ||||||
13 | offense, upon the oral or written motion of the State, or on | ||||||
14 | the court's own motion, which charges that a violation of a | ||||||
15 | condition of that conditional discharge or supervision has | ||||||
16 | occurred, the court may: | ||||||
17 | (1) conduct a hearing instanter if the offender is | ||||||
18 | present in court; | ||||||
19 | (2) order the issuance by the court clerk of a notice | ||||||
20 | to the offender to be present for a hearing for violation; | ||||||

11 | (d) Conditional discharge or supervision shall not be | ||||||
12 | revoked for failure to comply with the conditions of the | ||||||
13 | discharge or supervision which imposed financial obligations | ||||||

22 | Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code at the time of | ||||||

25 | sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender | ||||||
26 | Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receive treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to | ||||||
2 | the lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at | ||||||
3 | either Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit | ||||||
4 | at a rate as the Director shall determine. | ||||||
5 | (4.7) On or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of | ||||||
6 | Public Act 100-3), sentence credit under paragraph (3), (4), | ||||||
7 | or (4.1) of this subsection (a) may be awarded to a prisoner | ||||||
8 | who is serving a sentence for an offense described in | ||||||

10 | on or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
11 | 100-3); provided, the award of the credits under this | ||||||
12 | paragraph (4.7) shall not reduce the sentence of the prisoner | ||||||
13 | to less than the following amounts: | ||||||
14 | (i) 85% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is | ||||||
15 | required to serve 85% of his or her sentence; or | ||||||
16 | (ii) 60% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is | ||||||
17 | required to serve 75% of his or her sentence, except if the | ||||||
18 | prisoner is serving a sentence for gunrunning his or her | ||||||
19 | sentence shall not be reduced to less than 75%. | ||||||
20 | (iii) 100% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is | ||||||
21 | required to serve 100% of his or her sentence. | ||||||
22 | (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate | ||||||
23 | earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of earned | ||||||
24 | sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this | ||||||
25 | Section given at any time during the term, the Department | ||||||
26 | shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not less |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's | ||||||
2 | Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate | ||||||
3 | took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney of the | ||||||
4 | county into which the inmate will be released. The Department | ||||||
5 | must also make identification information and a recent photo | ||||||
6 | of the inmate being released accessible on the Internet by | ||||||
7 | means of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate | ||||||

9 | The identification information shall include the inmate's: | ||||||
10 | name, any known alias, date of birth, physical | ||||||
11 | characteristics, commitment offense, and county where | ||||||
12 | conviction was imposed. The identification information shall | ||||||
13 | be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release | ||||||
14 | and the information may not be removed until either: | ||||||
15 | completion of the first year of mandatory supervised release | ||||||
16 | or return of the inmate to custody of the Department. | ||||||
17 | (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under | ||||||
18 | several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences | ||||||
19 | shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and | ||||||
20 | forfeiting of sentence credit. | ||||||
21 | (c) (1) The Department shall prescribe rules and | ||||||
22 | regulations for revoking sentence credit, including revoking | ||||||
23 | sentence credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) | ||||||
24 | of this Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and | ||||||
25 | regulations establishing and requiring the use of a sanctions | ||||||
26 | matrix for revoking sentence credit. The Department shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prescribe rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the | ||||||
2 | rate of accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule | ||||||
3 | violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations | ||||||
4 | shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one | ||||||
5 | year of sentence credit for any one infraction. | ||||||
6 | (2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or | ||||||
7 | reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an | ||||||
8 | alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges | ||||||
9 | therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of | ||||||
10 | sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided | ||||||
11 | in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the | ||||||
12 | amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days , whether from one | ||||||
13 | infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising | ||||||
14 | out of a single event, or when , during any 12-month period, the | ||||||
15 | cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except | ||||||
16 | where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days | ||||||
17 | of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of | ||||||
18 | Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The | ||||||
19 | Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional | ||||||
20 | sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence | ||||||
21 | credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be | ||||||
22 | empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to | ||||||
23 | the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year | ||||||
24 | for any prisoner or to increase any penalty beyond the length | ||||||
25 | requested by the Department. | ||||||
26 | (3) The Director of Corrections or the Director of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Juvenile Justice , in appropriate cases, may restore up to 30 | ||||||
2 | days of sentence credits which have been revoked, suspended, | ||||||
3 | or reduced. Any restoration of sentence credits in excess of | ||||||
4 | 30 days shall be subject to review by the Prisoner Review | ||||||
5 | Board. However, the Board may not restore sentence credit in | ||||||
6 | excess of the amount requested by the Director The Department | ||||||
7 | shall prescribe rules and regulations governing the | ||||||
8 | restoration of sentence credits. These rules and regulations | ||||||
9 | shall provide for the automatic restoration of sentence | ||||||
10 | credits following a period in which the prisoner maintains a | ||||||
11 | record without a disciplinary violation . | ||||||
12 | Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the | ||||||
13 | Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section | ||||||
14 | 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the | ||||||
15 | sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the | ||||||
16 | accumulation of sentence credit. | ||||||
17 | (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or | ||||||
18 | federal court against the State, the Department of | ||||||
19 | Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of | ||||||
20 | their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific | ||||||
21 | finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the | ||||||
22 | prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall | ||||||
23 | conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit | ||||||
24 | by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived | ||||||
25 | of the sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as | ||||||
26 | provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence | ||||||
2 | credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review | ||||||
3 | Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the | ||||||
4 | prisoner. | ||||||
5 | For purposes of this subsection (d): | ||||||
6 | (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or | ||||||
7 | other filing which purports to be a legal document filed | ||||||
8 | by a prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the | ||||||
9 | following criteria: | ||||||
10 | (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in | ||||||
11 | fact; | ||||||
12 | (B) it is being presented for any improper | ||||||
13 | purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary | ||||||
14 | delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation; | ||||||
15 | (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal | ||||||
16 | contentions therein are not warranted by existing law | ||||||
17 | or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension, | ||||||
18 | modification, or reversal of existing law or the | ||||||
19 | establishment of new law; | ||||||
20 | (D) the allegations and other factual contentions | ||||||
21 | do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so | ||||||
22 | identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support | ||||||
23 | after a reasonable opportunity for further | ||||||
24 | investigation or discovery; or | ||||||
25 | (E) the denials of factual contentions are not | ||||||
26 | warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of | ||||||
2 | information or belief. | ||||||
3 | (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3 | ||||||
4 | of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus | ||||||
5 | action under Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or | ||||||

7 | under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the federal | ||||||
8 | Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or | ||||||
9 | subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under | ||||||
10 | Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 | ||||||
11 | whether filed with or without leave of court or a second or | ||||||
12 | subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section | ||||||
13 | 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. | ||||||
14 | (e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the | ||||||
15 | validity of Public Act 89-404. | ||||||
16 | (f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who | ||||||
17 | has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection | ||||||
18 | under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or | ||||||
19 | the Criminal Code of 2012, earlier than it otherwise would | ||||||
20 | because of a grant of sentence credit, the Department, as a | ||||||
21 | condition of release, shall require that the person, upon | ||||||
22 | release, be placed under electronic surveillance as provided | ||||||
23 | in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code. | ||||||

2 | (730 ILCS 5/5-4-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-4-1) | ||||||
3 | Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing hearing. | ||||||
4 | (a) After a determination of guilt, a hearing shall be | ||||||
5 | held to impose the sentence. However, prior to the imposition | ||||||
6 | of sentence on an individual being sentenced for an offense | ||||||
7 | based upon a charge for a violation of Section 11-501 of the | ||||||
8 | Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
9 | ordinance, the individual must undergo a professional | ||||||
10 | evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other drug abuse | ||||||
11 | problem exists and the extent of such a problem. Programs | ||||||
12 | conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the | ||||||
13 | Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is | ||||||
14 | not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion, | ||||||
15 | accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such | ||||||
16 | individual's residence. The court shall make a specific | ||||||
17 | finding about whether the defendant is eligible for | ||||||
18 | participation in a Department impact incarceration program as | ||||||
19 | provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3, and if not, provide an | ||||||
20 | explanation as to why a sentence to impact incarceration is | ||||||
21 | not an appropriate sentence. The court may in its sentencing | ||||||
22 | order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of | ||||||
23 | Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in | ||||||
24 | paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned | ||||||
25 | upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall: | ||||||
2 | (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the | ||||||
3 | trial; | ||||||
4 | (2) consider any presentence reports; | ||||||
5 | (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration | ||||||
6 | based on the financial impact statement filed with the | ||||||
7 | clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections; | ||||||
8 | (4) consider evidence and information offered by the | ||||||
9 | parties in aggravation and mitigation; | ||||||
10 | (4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility | ||||||
11 | screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by | ||||||
12 | an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide | ||||||
13 | assessment services for the Illinois courts; | ||||||
14 | (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives; | ||||||
15 | (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a | ||||||
16 | statement in his own behalf; | ||||||
17 | (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a | ||||||
18 | violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, | ||||||
19 | or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the | ||||||
20 | opportunity to present an oral or written statement, as | ||||||
21 | guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Constitution and provided in Section 6 of the Rights of | ||||||
23 | Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a | ||||||
24 | victim to make an oral statement if the victim is present | ||||||
25 | in the courtroom and requests to make an oral or written | ||||||
26 | statement. An oral or written statement includes the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | victim or a representative of the victim reading the | ||||||
2 | written statement. The court may allow persons impacted by | ||||||
3 | the crime who are not victims under subsection (a) of | ||||||
4 | Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act | ||||||
5 | to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any | ||||||
6 | person making an oral statement shall not be put under | ||||||
7 | oath or subject to cross-examination. All statements | ||||||
8 | offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part of the | ||||||
9 | record of the court. In this paragraph (7), "victim of a | ||||||
10 | violent crime" means a person who is a victim of a violent | ||||||
11 | crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a | ||||||
12 | bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a | ||||||
13 | violent crime with which the defendant was charged and the | ||||||
14 | defendant has been convicted under a plea agreement of a | ||||||
15 | crime that is not a violent crime as defined in subsection | ||||||
16 | (c) of 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act; | ||||||
17 | (7.5) afford a qualified person affected by: (i) a | ||||||
18 | violation of Section 405, 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Controlled Substances Act or a violation of | ||||||
20 | Section 55 or Section 65 of the Methamphetamine Control | ||||||
21 | and Community Protection Act; or (ii) a Class 4 felony | ||||||
22 | violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3 except as described in | ||||||
23 | subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18, | ||||||
24 | 11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
25 | Criminal Code of 2012, committed by the defendant the | ||||||
26 | opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the qualified person and to offer evidence in aggravation | ||||||
2 | or mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence | ||||||
3 | offered in aggravation or mitigation shall first be | ||||||
4 | prepared in writing in conjunction with the State's | ||||||
5 | Attorney before it may be presented orally at the hearing. | ||||||
6 | Sworn testimony offered by the qualified person is subject | ||||||
7 | to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements | ||||||
8 | and evidence offered under this paragraph (7.5) shall | ||||||
9 | become part of the record of the court. In this paragraph | ||||||
10 | (7.5), "qualified person" means any person who: (i) lived | ||||||
11 | or worked within the territorial jurisdiction where the | ||||||
12 | offense took place when the offense took place; or (ii) is | ||||||
13 | familiar with various public places within the territorial | ||||||
14 | jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense | ||||||
15 | took place. "Qualified person" includes any peace officer | ||||||
16 | or any member of any duly organized State, county, or | ||||||
17 | municipal peace officer unit assigned to the territorial | ||||||
18 | jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense | ||||||
19 | took place; | ||||||
20 | (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's | ||||||
21 | spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family | ||||||
22 | members an opportunity to make oral statements; | ||||||
23 | (9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined | ||||||
24 | under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the | ||||||
25 | results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant | ||||||
26 | to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was | ||||||
2 | used in the commission of the offense for which the | ||||||
3 | defendant is being sentenced. | ||||||
4 | (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon | ||||||
5 | his independent assessment of the elements specified above and | ||||||
6 | any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge | ||||||
7 | who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of | ||||||
8 | guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer | ||||||
9 | sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not | ||||||
10 | impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are | ||||||
11 | convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense, | ||||||
12 | the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the | ||||||
13 | sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants | ||||||
14 | who have been sentenced. | ||||||
15 | (b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic | ||||||
16 | imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a | ||||||
17 | sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available | ||||||
18 | sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation | ||||||
19 | or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent | ||||||
20 | crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment | ||||||
21 | before review and consideration of a presentence report and | ||||||
22 | determination and explanation of why the particular evidence, | ||||||
23 | information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other | ||||||
24 | reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of | ||||||
25 | the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code | ||||||
26 | apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | appropriate sentence. | ||||||
2 | (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an | ||||||
3 | offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle | ||||||
4 | while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any | ||||||
5 | combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
6 | ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury | ||||||
7 | to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall | ||||||
8 | specify on the record the particular evidence, information, | ||||||
9 | factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that | ||||||
10 | led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record | ||||||
11 | of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the | ||||||
12 | court and shall be a public record. | ||||||
13 | (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated | ||||||
14 | kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery, | ||||||
15 | aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a | ||||||
16 | firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or | ||||||
17 | category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to | ||||||
18 | whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense | ||||||
19 | resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that | ||||||
20 | finding and the basis for that finding in the record. | ||||||
21 | (c-1.5) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of | ||||||
22 | law to the contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that | ||||||
23 | requires a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the | ||||||
24 | court may instead sentence the offender to probation, | ||||||
25 | conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it | ||||||
26 | deems appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | possession of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked | ||||||
2 | license due to unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court | ||||||
3 | finds that the defendant does not pose a risk to public safety; | ||||||
4 | and (3) the interest of justice requires imposing a term of | ||||||
5 | probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of | ||||||
6 | imprisonment. The court must state on the record its reasons | ||||||
7 | for imposing probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser | ||||||
8 | term of imprisonment. | ||||||
9 | (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than | ||||||
10 | when a sentence of natural life imprisonment is imposed, at | ||||||
11 | the time the sentence is imposed the judge shall state on the | ||||||
12 | record in open court the approximate period of time the | ||||||
13 | defendant will serve in custody according to the then current | ||||||
14 | statutory rules and regulations for sentence credit found in | ||||||
15 | Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of this Code. This | ||||||
16 | statement is intended solely to inform the public, has no | ||||||
17 | legal effect on the defendant's actual release, and may not be | ||||||
18 | relied on by the defendant on appeal. | ||||||
19 | The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the | ||||||
20 | sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of | ||||||
21 | the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3, | ||||||
22 | shall include the following: | ||||||
23 | "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of | ||||||
24 | the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in | ||||||
25 | prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of | ||||||
26 | prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
2 | Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this | ||||||
3 | case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her | ||||||
4 | sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ... | ||||||
5 | years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned | ||||||
6 | sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own | ||||||
7 | misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional | ||||||
8 | regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time | ||||||
9 | served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also | ||||||
10 | receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each | ||||||
11 | day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse, | ||||||
12 | and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute." | ||||||
13 | When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses | ||||||
14 | enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than | ||||||
15 | first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after | ||||||
16 | June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless | ||||||
17 | homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the | ||||||
18 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the | ||||||
19 | offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the | ||||||
20 | sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence | ||||||
21 | of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or | ||||||
22 | compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in | ||||||
23 | subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section | ||||||
24 | 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is | ||||||
25 | imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on | ||||||
26 | or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 92-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated | ||||||
2 | driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, | ||||||
3 | or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination | ||||||
4 | thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of | ||||||
5 | subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code | ||||||
6 | committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of | ||||||
7 | Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after | ||||||
8 | pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following: | ||||||
9 | "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of | ||||||
10 | the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in | ||||||
11 | prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of | ||||||
12 | prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois | ||||||
13 | as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
14 | Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this | ||||||
15 | case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of | ||||||
16 | sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of | ||||||
17 | imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least | ||||||
18 | 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 | ||||||
19 | 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the | ||||||
20 | period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... | ||||||
21 | months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct | ||||||
22 | or failure to comply with the institutional regulations | ||||||
23 | receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will | ||||||
24 | be longer." | ||||||
25 | When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first | ||||||
26 | degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 19, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing | ||||||
2 | the sentence, shall include the following: | ||||||
3 | "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of | ||||||
4 | the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in | ||||||
5 | prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of | ||||||
6 | prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois | ||||||
7 | as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
8 | Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this | ||||||
9 | case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit. | ||||||
10 | Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her | ||||||
11 | sentence." | ||||||
12 | When the sentencing order recommends placement in a | ||||||
13 | substance abuse program for any offense that results in | ||||||
14 | incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the | ||||||
15 | crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the | ||||||
16 | effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement, | ||||||
17 | in addition to any other judge's statement required under this | ||||||
18 | Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall | ||||||
19 | include the following: | ||||||
20 | "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of | ||||||
21 | the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in | ||||||
22 | prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of | ||||||
23 | prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois | ||||||
24 | as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
25 | Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this | ||||||
26 | case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or | ||||||
2 | she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment | ||||||
3 | program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections | ||||||
4 | pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3." | ||||||
5 | (c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the | ||||||
6 | presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall | ||||||
7 | inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently | ||||||
8 | serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United | ||||||

24 | (1) Every person who has been twice convicted in any | ||||||
25 | state or federal court of an offense that contains the |

9 | same offense. | ||||||
10 | (3) Any convictions that result from or are connected | ||||||
11 | with the same transaction, or result from offenses | ||||||
12 | committed at the same time, shall be counted for the | ||||||

12 | and before sentence is imposed, the prosecutor may file | ||||||
13 | with the court a verified written statement signed by the | ||||||
14 | State's Attorney concerning any former conviction of an | ||||||

21 | that hearing; and unless the defendant admits such | ||||||
22 | conviction, shall hear and determine the issue, and shall | ||||||
23 | make a written finding thereon. If a sentence has | ||||||
24 | previously been imposed, the court may vacate that | ||||||

5 | the defendant's final release or discharge from probation | ||||||
6 | granted, or from sentence and parole supervision (if any) | ||||||

8 | facie evidence of that release or discharge. | ||||||
9 | (8) Any claim that a previous conviction offered by | ||||||
10 | the prosecution is not a former conviction of an offense | ||||||
11 | set forth in this Section because of the existence of any | ||||||
12 | exceptions described in this Section, is waived unless | ||||||
13 | duly raised at the hearing on that conviction, or unless | ||||||
14 | the prosecution's proof shows the existence of the | ||||||
15 | exceptions described in this Section. | ||||||

17 | satisfaction of the court before whom that conviction was | ||||||
18 | had that he or she was released from imprisonment, upon | ||||||

25 | Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | only for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be | ||||||
2 | consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one | ||||||
3 | Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
4 | (2) For sentences imposed under the law in effect on | ||||||
5 | or after February 1, 1978, the aggregate of consecutive | ||||||
6 | sentences for offenses that were committed as part of a | ||||||
7 | single course of conduct during which there was no | ||||||
8 | substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective | ||||||
9 | shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized | ||||||
10 | under Article 4.5 of Chapter V for the 2 most serious | ||||||
11 | felonies involved, but no such limitation shall apply for | ||||||
12 | offenses that were not committed as part of a single | ||||||
13 | course of conduct during which there was no substantial | ||||||
14 | change in the nature of the criminal objective. When | ||||||

16 | consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one | ||||||

20 | more of which is for a felony, will be served, the Department | ||||||
21 | of Corrections shall treat the defendant as though he or she | ||||||
22 | had been committed for a single term subject to each of the | ||||||
23 | following: | ||||||
24 | (1) The maximum period of a term of imprisonment shall | ||||||
25 | consist of the aggregate of the maximums of the imposed | ||||||
26 | indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imposed determinate sentences for felonies, plus the | ||||||
2 | aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for | ||||||
3 | misdemeanors, subject to subsection (f) of this Section. | ||||||

8 | (3) The minimum period of imprisonment shall be the | ||||||
9 | aggregate of the minimum and determinate periods of | ||||||
10 | imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to subsection | ||||||
11 | (f) of this Section. | ||||||

13 | aggregate maximum term and the aggregate minimum term of | ||||||
14 | imprisonment for all time served in an institution since | ||||||
15 | the commission of the offense or offenses and as a | ||||||
16 | consequence thereof at the rate specified in Section 3-6-3 | ||||||
17 | (730 ILCS 5/3-6-3). | ||||||
18 | (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, | ||||||

20 | shall run concurrent to any and all sentences imposed under | ||||||
21 | the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. | ||||||

17 | Section 2-280. The County Jail Good Behavior Allowance Act | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | (730 ILCS 130/3) (from Ch. 75, par. 32) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 3. The good behavior of any person who commences a | ||||||
21 | sentence of confinement in a county jail for a fixed term of | ||||||
22 | imprisonment after January 1, 1987 shall entitle such person | ||||||
23 | to a good behavior allowance, except that: (1) a person who | ||||||
24 | inflicted physical harm upon another person in committing the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | offense for which he is confined shall receive no good | ||||||
2 | behavior allowance; and (2) a person sentenced for an offense | ||||||
3 | for which the law provides a mandatory minimum sentence shall | ||||||
4 | not receive any portion of a good behavior allowance that | ||||||
5 | would reduce the sentence below the mandatory minimum; and (3) | ||||||
6 | a person sentenced to a county impact incarceration program; | ||||||
7 | and (4) a person who is convicted of criminal sexual assault | ||||||
8 | under subdivision (a)(3) of Section 11-1.20 or paragraph | ||||||
9 | (a)(3) of Section 12-13 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
10 | Criminal Code of 2012, criminal sexual abuse, or aggravated | ||||||
11 | criminal sexual abuse shall receive no good behavior | ||||||
12 | allowance. The good behavior allowance provided for in this | ||||||
13 | Section shall not apply to individuals sentenced for a felony | ||||||
14 | to probation or conditional discharge where a condition of | ||||||
15 | such probation or conditional discharge is that the individual | ||||||
16 | serve a sentence of periodic imprisonment or to individuals | ||||||
17 | sentenced under an order of court for civil contempt. | ||||||
18 | Such good behavior allowance shall be cumulative and | ||||||
19 | awarded as provided in this Section. | ||||||
20 | The good behavior allowance rate shall be cumulative and | ||||||
21 | awarded on the following basis: | ||||||
22 | The prisoner shall receive one day of good behavior | ||||||
23 | allowance for each day of service of sentence in the county | ||||||
24 | jail, and one day of good behavior allowance for each day of | ||||||
25 | incarceration in the county jail before sentencing for the | ||||||
26 | offense that he or she is currently serving sentence but was |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unable to post bail comply with the conditions of pretrial | ||||||
2 | release before sentencing, except that a prisoner serving a | ||||||
3 | sentence of periodic imprisonment under Section 5-7-1 of the | ||||||
4 | Unified Code of Corrections shall only be eligible to receive | ||||||
5 | good behavior allowance if authorized by the sentencing judge. | ||||||
6 | Each day of good behavior allowance shall reduce by one day the | ||||||
7 | prisoner's period of incarceration set by the court. For the | ||||||
8 | purpose of calculating a prisoner's good behavior allowance, a | ||||||
9 | fractional part of a day shall not be calculated as a day of | ||||||
10 | service of sentence in the county jail unless the fractional | ||||||
11 | part of the day is over 12 hours in which case a whole day | ||||||
12 | shall be credited on the good behavior allowance. | ||||||
13 | If consecutive sentences are served and the time served | ||||||
14 | amounts to a total of one year or more, the good behavior | ||||||
15 | allowance shall be calculated on a continuous basis throughout | ||||||
16 | the entire time served beginning on the first date of sentence | ||||||
17 | or incarceration, as the case may be. | ||||||

20 | documents, including relevant court orders. | ||||||
21 | (c-2) If the petitioner files a statement attesting that | ||||||
22 | disclosure of the petitioner's address would put the | ||||||
23 | petitioner or any member of the petitioner's family or | ||||||
24 | household at risk or reveal the confidential address of a | ||||||
25 | shelter for domestic violence victims, that address may be | ||||||
26 | omitted from all documents filed with the court, and the |

| |||||||
1 | petitioner may designate an alternative address for service. | ||||||

| ||||||
18 | Section 2-300. The Civil No Contact Order Act is amended | ||||||
19 | by changing Section 220 as follows:
| ||||||
20 | (740 ILCS 22/220) | ||||||
21 | Sec. 220. Enforcement of a civil no contact order. | ||||||
22 | (a) Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois court | ||||||
23 | from enforcing a valid protective order issued in another | ||||||
24 | state or by a military judge. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) Illinois courts may enforce civil no contact orders | ||||||
2 | through both criminal proceedings and civil contempt | ||||||
3 | proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is | ||||||
4 | barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional | ||||||
5 | prohibition against double jeopardy. | ||||||
6 | (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or | ||||||
7 | private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil | ||||||
8 | or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or | ||||||
9 | non-public school has been allowed to intervene. | ||||||
10 | (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal | ||||||
11 | custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
12 | for a violation of any provision of any order entered under | ||||||
13 | this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of | ||||||
14 | this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian | ||||||
15 | directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such | ||||||
16 | conduct. | ||||||
17 | (c) Criminal prosecution. A violation of any civil no | ||||||
18 | contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal | ||||||
19 | proceeding or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a | ||||||
20 | criminal court when the respondent commits the crime of | ||||||
21 | violation of a civil no contact order pursuant to Section 219 | ||||||
22 | by having knowingly violated: | ||||||
23 | (1) remedies described in Section 213 and included in | ||||||
24 | a civil no contact order; or | ||||||
25 | (2) a provision of an order, which is substantially | ||||||
26 | similar to provisions of Section 213, in a valid civil no |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contact order which is authorized under the laws of | ||||||
2 | another state, tribe, or United States territory. | ||||||
3 | Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact order | ||||||
4 | shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other crime, | ||||||
5 | including any crime that may have been committed at the time of | ||||||
6 | the violation of the civil no contact order. | ||||||
7 | (d) Contempt of court. A violation of any valid Illinois | ||||||
8 | civil no contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal | ||||||
9 | proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
10 | procedures, as appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, | ||||||
11 | regardless of where the act or acts which violated the civil no | ||||||
12 | contact order were committed, to the extent consistent with | ||||||
13 | the venue provisions of this Act. | ||||||
14 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
15 | rule to show cause or petition for adjudication of | ||||||
16 | criminal contempt sets forth facts evidencing an immediate | ||||||
17 | danger that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction or | ||||||
18 | inflict physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children | ||||||
19 | or on dependent adults in the petitioner's care, the court | ||||||
20 | may order the attachment of the respondent without prior | ||||||
21 | service of the petition for a rule to show cause, the rule | ||||||
22 | to show cause, the petition for adjudication of criminal | ||||||
23 | contempt or the adjudication of criminal contempt. Bond | ||||||
24 | Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically | ||||||
25 | denied in writing. | ||||||
26 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause or a petition |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for adjudication of criminal contempt for violation of a | ||||||
2 | civil no contact order shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
3 | proceeding. | ||||||
4 | (e) Actual knowledge. A civil no contact order may be | ||||||
5 | enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates | ||||||
6 | the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its | ||||||
7 | contents as shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
8 | (1) by service, delivery, or notice under Section 208; | ||||||
9 | (2) by notice under Section 218; | ||||||
10 | (3) by service of a civil no contact order under | ||||||
11 | Section 218; or | ||||||
12 | (4) by other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
13 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
14 | (f) The enforcement of a civil no contact order in civil or | ||||||
15 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
16 | following: | ||||||
17 | (1) the existence of a separate, correlative order, | ||||||
18 | entered under Section 202; or | ||||||
19 | (2) any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
20 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
21 | (g) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
22 | not a violation of a civil no contact order has occurred, shall | ||||||
23 | not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of | ||||||
24 | the victim. | ||||||
25 | (h) Penalties. | ||||||
26 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection, where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||
2 | crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of | ||||||
3 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
4 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
5 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
6 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
7 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
8 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
9 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
10 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
11 | of this subsection. | ||||||
12 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
13 | encouraged to: | ||||||
14 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation | ||||||
15 | of any civil no contact order over any penalty | ||||||
16 | previously imposed by any court for respondent's | ||||||
17 | violation of any civil no contact order or penal | ||||||
18 | statute involving petitioner as victim and respondent | ||||||
19 | as defendant; | ||||||
20 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
21 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
22 | civil no contact order; and | ||||||
23 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
24 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
25 | violation of a civil no contact order unless the court | ||||||
26 | explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust. | ||||||
2 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
3 | violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court | ||||||
4 | may consider evidence of any previous violations of a | ||||||
5 | civil no contact order: | ||||||
6 | (i) to increase, revoke or modify the bail bond | ||||||
7 | conditions of pretrial release on an underlying | ||||||
8 | criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code | ||||||
9 | of Criminal Procedure of 1963; | ||||||
10 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
11 | conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
12 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; or | ||||||
13 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
14 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
15 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||
16 | (Source: P.A. 103-407, eff. 7-28-23.)
| ||||||
17 | Section 2-305. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 | ||||||
18 | is amended by changing Sections 223 and 301 as follows:
| ||||||
19 | (750 ILCS 60/223) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-23) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection. | ||||||
21 | (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of | ||||||
22 | protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding | ||||||
23 | or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court | ||||||
24 | when: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of | ||||||
2 | an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 | ||||||
3 | of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, | ||||||
4 | by having knowingly violated: | ||||||
5 | (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2), | ||||||
6 | (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 | ||||||
7 | of this Act; or | ||||||
8 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
9 | the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), | ||||||
10 | (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 | ||||||
11 | of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is | ||||||
12 | authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or | ||||||
13 | United States territory; or | ||||||
14 | (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||||
15 | crime against the protected parties as defined by the | ||||||
16 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
17 | Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection | ||||||
18 | shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, | ||||||
19 | including any crime that may have been committed at the | ||||||
20 | time of the violation of the order of protection; or | ||||||
21 | (2) The respondent commits the crime of child | ||||||
22 | abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of | ||||||
23 | 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly | ||||||
24 | violated: | ||||||
25 | (i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6) or | ||||||
26 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
2 | the remedies authorized under paragraphs (5), (6), or | ||||||
3 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a | ||||||
4 | valid order of protection which is authorized under | ||||||
5 | the laws of another state, tribe, or United States | ||||||
6 | territory. | ||||||
7 | (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of | ||||||
8 | any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a | ||||||
9 | civil or criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be | ||||||
10 | enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as | ||||||
11 | appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where | ||||||
12 | the act or acts which violated the order of protection were | ||||||
13 | committed, to the extent consistent with the venue provisions | ||||||
14 | of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois | ||||||
15 | court from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in | ||||||
16 | another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of | ||||||
17 | protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt | ||||||
18 | proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is | ||||||
19 | barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional | ||||||
20 | prohibition against double jeopardy. | ||||||
21 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
22 | rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an | ||||||
23 | immediate danger that the respondent will flee the | ||||||
24 | jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse | ||||||
25 | on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults | ||||||
26 | in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the respondent without prior service of the rule to | ||||||
2 | show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond | ||||||
3 | Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically | ||||||
4 | denied in writing. | ||||||
5 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation | ||||||
6 | of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
7 | proceeding. | ||||||
8 | (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or | ||||||
9 | private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil | ||||||
10 | or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or | ||||||
11 | non-public school has been allowed to intervene. | ||||||
12 | (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal | ||||||
13 | custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
14 | for a violation of any provision of any order entered under | ||||||
15 | this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of | ||||||
16 | this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian | ||||||
17 | directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such | ||||||
18 | conduct. | ||||||
19 | (c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or | ||||||
20 | final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A | ||||||
21 | violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), | ||||||
22 | or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be | ||||||
23 | enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the | ||||||
24 | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court | ||||||
25 | may enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) | ||||||
26 | of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution | ||||||
2 | of Marriage Act. | ||||||
3 | (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be | ||||||
4 | enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates | ||||||
5 | the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its | ||||||
6 | contents as shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
7 | (1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210. | ||||||
8 | (2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211. | ||||||
9 | (3) By service of an order of protection under Section | ||||||
10 | 222. | ||||||
11 | (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
12 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
13 | (e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or | ||||||
14 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
15 | following: | ||||||
16 | (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order, | ||||||
17 | entered under Section 215. | ||||||
18 | (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
19 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
20 | (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
21 | not a violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall | ||||||
22 | not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of | ||||||
23 | the victim. | ||||||
24 | (g) Penalties. | ||||||
25 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this | ||||||
26 | subsection, where the court finds the commission of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of | ||||||
2 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
3 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
4 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
5 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
6 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
7 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
8 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
9 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
10 | of this subsection. | ||||||
11 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
12 | encouraged to: | ||||||
13 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation | ||||||
14 | of any order of protection over any penalty previously | ||||||
15 | imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any | ||||||
16 | order of protection or penal statute involving | ||||||
17 | petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant; | ||||||
18 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
19 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
20 | order of protection; and | ||||||
21 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
22 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
23 | violation of an order of protection | ||||||
24 | unless the court explicitly finds that an increased | ||||||
25 | penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly | ||||||
26 | unjust. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
2 | violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may | ||||||
3 | consider evidence of any violations of an order of | ||||||
4 | protection: | ||||||
5 | (i) to increase, revoke or modify the bail bond | ||||||
6 | conditions of pretrial release on an underlying | ||||||
7 | criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code | ||||||
8 | of Criminal Procedure of 1963; | ||||||
9 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
10 | conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
11 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
12 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
13 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
14 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||
15 | (5) In addition to any other penalties, the court | ||||||
16 | shall impose an additional fine of $20 as authorized by | ||||||
17 | Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of Corrections upon | ||||||
18 | any person convicted of or placed on supervision for a | ||||||
19 | violation of an order of protection. The additional fine | ||||||

2 | oath before any circuit court, that he has reason to believe | ||||||
3 | that any supplies are being unlawfully used, sold, or secreted | ||||||
4 | in any place, the court shall issue a search warrant to any | ||||||
5 | police officer authorizing such officer to search the premises | ||||||

16 | Sec. 602. Discharge for misconduct - Felony. | ||||||
17 | A. An individual shall be ineligible for benefits for the | ||||||
18 | week in which he has been discharged for misconduct connected | ||||||
19 | with his work and, thereafter, until he has become reemployed | ||||||
20 | and has had earnings equal to or in excess of his current | ||||||
21 | weekly benefit amount in each of four calendar weeks which are | ||||||
22 | either for services in employment, or have been or will be | ||||||
23 | reported pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Insurance | ||||||
24 | Contributions Act by each employing unit for which such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | services are performed and which submits a statement | ||||||
2 | certifying to that fact. The requalification requirements of | ||||||
3 | the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied, | ||||||
4 | as of the date of reinstatement, if, subsequent to his | ||||||
5 | discharge by an employing unit for misconduct connected with | ||||||
6 | his work, such individual is reinstated by such employing | ||||||
7 | unit. For purposes of this subsection, the term "misconduct" | ||||||
8 | means the deliberate and willful violation of a reasonable | ||||||
9 | rule or policy of the employing unit, governing the | ||||||
10 | individual's behavior in performance of his work, provided | ||||||
11 | such violation has harmed the employing unit or other | ||||||

17 | other documentation provided to the employer, to obtain | ||||||
18 | employment through subterfuge. | ||||||
19 | 2. Failure to maintain licenses, registrations, and | ||||||
20 | certifications reasonably required by the employer, or | ||||||

23 | failure is not within the control of the individual. | ||||||
24 | 3. Knowing, repeated violation of the attendance | ||||||
25 | policies of the employer that are in compliance with State | ||||||
26 | and federal law following a written warning for an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | attendance violation, unless the individual can | ||||||
2 | demonstrate that he or she has made a reasonable effort to | ||||||
3 | remedy the reason or reasons for the violations or that | ||||||
4 | the reason or reasons for the violations were out of the | ||||||
5 | individual's control. Attendance policies of the employer | ||||||
6 | shall be reasonable and provided to the individual in | ||||||
7 | writing, electronically, or via posting in the workplace. | ||||||
8 | 4. Damaging the employer's property through conduct | ||||||
9 | that is grossly negligent. | ||||||
10 | 5. Refusal to obey an employer's reasonable and lawful | ||||||
11 | instruction, unless the refusal is due to the lack of | ||||||
12 | ability, skills, or training for the individual required | ||||||
13 | to obey the instruction or the instruction would result in | ||||||
14 | an unsafe act. | ||||||
15 | 6. Consuming alcohol or illegal or non-prescribed | ||||||
16 | prescription drugs, or using an impairing substance in an | ||||||
17 | off-label manner, on the employer's premises during | ||||||

20 | illegal or non-prescribed prescription drugs, or an | ||||||
21 | impairing substance used in an off-label manner in | ||||||

23 | individual is compelled to report to work by the employer | ||||||
24 | outside of scheduled and on-call working hours and informs | ||||||
25 | the employer that he or she is under the influence of | ||||||
26 | alcohol, illegal or non-prescribed prescription drugs, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | an impairing substance used in an off-label manner in | ||||||
2 | violation of the employer's policies. | ||||||
3 | 8. Grossly negligent conduct endangering the safety of | ||||||
4 | the individual or co-workers. | ||||||
5 | For purposes of paragraphs 4 and 8, conduct is "grossly | ||||||
6 | negligent" when the individual is, or reasonably should be, | ||||||
7 | aware of a substantial risk that the conduct will result in the | ||||||
8 | harm sought to be prevented and the conduct constitutes a | ||||||
9 | substantial deviation from the standard of care a reasonable | ||||||
10 | person would exercise in the situation. | ||||||
11 | Nothing in paragraph 6 or 7 prohibits the lawful use of | ||||||
12 | over-the-counter drug products as defined in Section 206 of | ||||||

19 | which such individual was discharged because of the commission | ||||||
20 | of a felony in connection with his work, or because of theft in | ||||||
21 | connection with his work, for which the employer was in no way | ||||||
22 | responsible; provided, that the employer notified the Director | ||||||
23 | of such possible ineligibility within the time limits | ||||||
24 | specified by regulations of the Director, and that the | ||||||
25 | individual has admitted his commission of the felony or theft | ||||||
26 | to a representative of the Director, or has signed a written |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | admission of such act and such written admission has been | ||||||
2 | presented to a representative of the Director, or such act has | ||||||
3 | resulted in a conviction or order of supervision by a court of | ||||||
4 | competent jurisdiction; and provided further, that if by | ||||||
5 | reason of such act, he is in legal custody, held on bail | ||||||
6 | pretrial release or is a fugitive from justice, the | ||||||
7 | determination of his benefit rights shall be held in abeyance | ||||||
8 | pending the result of any legal proceedings arising therefrom. | ||||||

6 | (b) Construction of exceptions. The exceptions contained | ||||||
7 | in subsection (c) are in derogation of the requirement that | ||||||

24 | setting, or a volunteer of the public body or against | ||||||
25 | legal counsel for the public body to determine its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | validity. However, a meeting to consider an increase in | ||||||
2 | compensation to a specific employee of a public body that | ||||||
3 | is subject to the Local Government Wage Increase | ||||||
4 | Transparency Act may not be closed and shall be open to the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 2-345. The Freedom of Information Act is amended | ||||||
2 | by changing Sections 7 and 7.5 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (5 ILCS 140/7) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 7. Exemptions. | ||||||
5 | (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public | ||||||
6 | record that contains information that is exempt from | ||||||
7 | disclosure under this Section, but also contains information | ||||||
8 | that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect | ||||||
9 | to redact the information that is exempt. The public body | ||||||
10 | shall make the remaining information available for inspection | ||||||
11 | and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall | ||||||
12 | be exempt from inspection and copying: | ||||||
13 | (a) Information specifically prohibited from | ||||||
14 | disclosure by federal or State law or rules and | ||||||
15 | regulations implementing federal or State law. | ||||||
16 | (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required | ||||||
17 | by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law, | ||||||
18 | or a court order. | ||||||
19 | (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases | ||||||
20 | maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and | ||||||
21 | specifically designed to provide information to one or | ||||||

23 | mental status of one or more individual subjects. | ||||||
24 | (c) Personal information contained within public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | records, the disclosure of which would constitute a | ||||||
2 | clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless | ||||||
3 | the disclosure is consented to in writing by the | ||||||
4 | individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted | ||||||
5 | invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of | ||||||
6 | information that is highly personal or objectionable to a | ||||||
7 | reasonable person and in which the subject's right to | ||||||
8 | privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in | ||||||
9 | obtaining the information. The disclosure of information | ||||||
10 | that bears on the public duties of public employees and | ||||||
11 | officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal | ||||||
12 | privacy. | ||||||
13 | (d) Records in the possession of any public body | ||||||
14 | created in the course of administrative enforcement | ||||||
15 | proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional | ||||||
16 | agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the | ||||||
17 | extent that disclosure would: | ||||||
18 | (i) interfere with pending or actually and | ||||||
19 | reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings | ||||||
20 | conducted by any law enforcement or correctional | ||||||
21 | agency that is the recipient of the request; | ||||||
22 | (ii) interfere with active administrative | ||||||
23 | enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body | ||||||
24 | that is the recipient of the request; | ||||||
25 | (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a | ||||||
26 | person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearing; | ||||||
2 | (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a | ||||||
3 | confidential source, confidential information | ||||||
4 | furnished only by the confidential source, or persons | ||||||
5 | who file complaints with or provide information to | ||||||
6 | administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or | ||||||
7 | penal agencies; except that the identities of | ||||||
8 | witnesses to traffic crashes, traffic crash reports, | ||||||
9 | and rescue reports shall be provided by agencies of | ||||||
10 | local government, except when disclosure would | ||||||
11 | interfere with an active criminal investigation | ||||||
12 | conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the | ||||||
13 | request; | ||||||
14 | (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative | ||||||
15 | techniques other than those generally used and known | ||||||
16 | or disclose internal documents of correctional | ||||||
17 | agencies related to detection, observation, or | ||||||
18 | investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and | ||||||
19 | disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the | ||||||
20 | agency or public body that is the recipient of the | ||||||
21 | request; | ||||||
22 | (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law | ||||||
23 | enforcement personnel or any other person; or | ||||||
24 | (vii) obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation | ||||||
25 | by the agency that is the recipient of the request. | ||||||
26 | (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic | ||||||
2 | record management system if the law enforcement agency | ||||||
3 | that is the recipient of the request did not create the | ||||||
4 | record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the | ||||||
5 | events which are the subject of the record, and only has | ||||||
6 | access to the record through the shared electronic record | ||||||
7 | management system. | ||||||
8 | (d-6) (Blank). Records contained in the Officer | ||||||
9 | Professional Conduct Database under Section 9.2 of the | ||||||
10 | Illinois Police Training Act, except to the extent | ||||||
11 | authorized under that Section. This includes the documents | ||||||
12 | supplied to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training | ||||||
13 | Standards Board from the Illinois State Police and | ||||||
14 | Illinois State Police Merit Board. | ||||||

16 | use of automatic license plate readers in connection with | ||||||

19 | correctional institutions and detention facilities. | ||||||

24 | institution or facility or jail where the inmate is | ||||||
25 | confined. | ||||||
26 | (e-6) Records requested by persons committed to the |
| |||||||

12 | other oaths required or authorized to be administered by | ||||||
13 | the Board under this Act. | ||||||
14 | k. In case of the neglect or refusal of any person to | ||||||
15 | obey a subpoena issued by the Board and the Panel, any | ||||||
16 | circuit court, upon application of the Board and the | ||||||
17 | Panel, through the Illinois Attorney General, may order | ||||||

16 | Sec. 6.1. Decertification Automatic decertification of | ||||||
17 | full-time and part-time police law enforcement officers. | ||||||
18 | (a) The Board must review police officer conduct and | ||||||
19 | records to ensure that no police officer is certified or | ||||||
20 | provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been | ||||||
21 | convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, a felony offense | ||||||
22 | under the laws of this State or any other state which if | ||||||
23 | committed in this State would be punishable as a felony. The | ||||||
24 | Board must also ensure that no or officer is certified or | ||||||
25 | provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, any misdemeanor | ||||||
2 | specified in this Section or if committed in any other state | ||||||
3 | would be an offense similar to Section 11-1.50, 11-6, 11-9.1, | ||||||
4 | 11-14, 11-17, 11-19, 12-2, 12-15, 16-1, 17-1, 17-2, 28-3, | ||||||
5 | 29-1, 31-1, 31-6, 31-7, 32-4a, or 32-7 of the Criminal Code of | ||||||
6 | 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, to subdivision (a)(1) or | ||||||
7 | (a)(2)(C) of Section 11-14.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or | ||||||
8 | the Criminal Code of 2012, or subsection (a) of Section 17-32 | ||||||
9 | of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or | ||||||
10 | to Section 5 or 5.2 of the Cannabis Control Act. The Board must | ||||||
11 | appoint investigators to enforce the duties conferred upon the | ||||||
12 | Board by this Act. | ||||||
13 | (b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief | ||||||
14 | executive officer of every local law enforcement agency or | ||||||
15 | department within this State to report to the Board any | ||||||
16 | arrest, conviction, or plea of guilty of any officer for an | ||||||
17 | offense identified in this Section. | ||||||
18 | (c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time | ||||||
19 | and part-time police officer in this State to report to the | ||||||
20 | Board within 30 days, and the officer's sheriff or chief | ||||||
21 | executive officer, of his or her arrest, conviction, or plea | ||||||
22 | of guilty for an offense identified in this Section. Any | ||||||
23 | full-time or part-time police officer who knowingly makes, | ||||||
24 | submits, causes to be submitted, or files a false or | ||||||
25 | untruthful report to the Board must have his or her | ||||||
26 | certificate or waiver immediately decertified or revoked. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is | ||||||
2 | immune from liability for submitting, disclosing, or releasing | ||||||
3 | information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in | ||||||
4 | this Section as long as the information is submitted, | ||||||
5 | disclosed, or released in good faith and without malice. The | ||||||
6 | Board has qualified immunity for the release of the | ||||||
7 | information. | ||||||
8 | (e) Any full-time or part-time police officer with a | ||||||
9 | certificate or waiver issued by the Board who is convicted of, | ||||||
10 | or entered a plea of guilty to, any offense described in this | ||||||
11 | Section immediately becomes decertified or no longer has a | ||||||
12 | valid waiver. The decertification and invalidity of waivers | ||||||
13 | occurs as a matter of law. Failure of a convicted person to | ||||||
14 | report to the Board his or her conviction as described in this | ||||||
15 | Section or any continued law enforcement practice after | ||||||
16 | receiving a conviction is a Class 4 felony. | ||||||
17 | (f) The Board's investigators are peace officers and have | ||||||
18 | all the powers possessed by policemen in cities and by | ||||||
19 | sheriffs, and these investigators may exercise those powers | ||||||
20 | anywhere in the State. An investigator shall not have peace | ||||||
21 | officer status or exercise police powers unless he or she | ||||||
22 | successfully completes the basic police training course | ||||||
23 | mandated and approved by the Board or the Board waives the | ||||||
24 | training requirement by reason of the investigator's prior law | ||||||
25 | enforcement experience, training, or both. The Board shall not | ||||||
26 | waive the training requirement unless the investigator has had |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a minimum of 5 years experience as a sworn officer of a local, | ||||||
2 | State, or federal law enforcement agency. | ||||||
3 | (g) The Board must request and receive information and | ||||||
4 | assistance from any federal, state, or local governmental | ||||||
5 | agency as part of the authorized criminal background | ||||||
6 | investigation. The Illinois State Police must process, retain, | ||||||
7 | and additionally provide and disseminate information to the | ||||||
8 | Board concerning criminal charges, arrests, convictions, and | ||||||
9 | their disposition, that have been filed against a basic | ||||||
10 | academy applicant, law enforcement applicant, or law | ||||||
11 | enforcement officer whose fingerprint identification cards are | ||||||
12 | on file or maintained by the Illinois State Police. The | ||||||
13 | Federal Bureau of Investigation must provide the Board any | ||||||
14 | criminal history record information contained in its files | ||||||
15 | pertaining to law enforcement officers or any applicant to a | ||||||
16 | Board certified basic law enforcement academy as described in | ||||||
17 | this Act based on fingerprint identification. The Board must | ||||||
18 | make payment of fees to the Illinois State Police for each | ||||||
19 | fingerprint card submission in conformance with the | ||||||
20 | requirements of paragraph 22 of Section 55a of the Civil | ||||||
21 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
22 | A police officer who has been certified or granted a valid | ||||||
23 | waiver shall also be decertified or have his or her waiver | ||||||
24 | revoked upon a determination by the Illinois Labor Relations | ||||||
25 | Board State Panel that he or she, while under oath, has | ||||||
26 | knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a material |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fact going to an element of the offense of murder. If an appeal | ||||||
2 | is filed, the determination shall be stayed. | ||||||
3 | (1) In the case of an acquittal on a charge of murder, | ||||||
4 | a verified complaint may be filed: | ||||||
5 | (A) by the defendant; or | ||||||
6 | (B) by a police officer with personal knowledge of | ||||||
7 | perjured testimony. | ||||||
8 | The complaint must allege that a police officer, while | ||||||
9 | under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements | ||||||
10 | as to a material fact going to an element of the offense of | ||||||
11 | murder. The verified complaint must be filed with the | ||||||
12 | Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement | ||||||
13 | Training Standards Board within 2 years of the judgment of | ||||||
14 | acquittal. | ||||||
15 | (2) Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the | ||||||
16 | Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall | ||||||
17 | review the verified complaint and determine whether the | ||||||
18 | verified complaint is frivolous and without merit, or | ||||||
19 | whether further investigation is warranted. The Illinois | ||||||
20 | Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall notify the | ||||||
21 | officer and the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor | ||||||
22 | Relations Board State Panel of the filing of the complaint | ||||||
23 | and any action taken thereon. If the Executive Director of | ||||||
24 | the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board | ||||||
25 | determines that the verified complaint is frivolous and | ||||||
26 | without merit, it shall be dismissed. The Executive |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training | ||||||
2 | Standards Board has sole discretion to make this | ||||||
3 | determination and this decision is not subject to appeal. | ||||||
4 | If the Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement | ||||||
5 | Training Standards Board determines that the verified | ||||||
6 | complaint warrants further investigation, he or she shall | ||||||
7 | refer the matter to a task force of investigators created for | ||||||
8 | this purpose. This task force shall consist of 8 sworn police | ||||||
9 | officers: 2 from the Illinois State Police, 2 from the City of | ||||||
10 | Chicago Police Department, 2 from county police departments, | ||||||
11 | and 2 from municipal police departments. These investigators | ||||||
12 | shall have a minimum of 5 years of experience in conducting | ||||||
13 | criminal investigations. The investigators shall be appointed | ||||||
14 | by the Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement | ||||||
15 | Training Standards Board. Any officer or officers acting in | ||||||
16 | this capacity pursuant to this statutory provision will have | ||||||
17 | statewide police authority while acting in this investigative | ||||||
18 | capacity. Their salaries and expenses for the time spent | ||||||
19 | conducting investigations under this paragraph shall be | ||||||
20 | reimbursed by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards | ||||||
21 | Board. | ||||||
22 | Once the Executive Director of the Illinois Law | ||||||
23 | Enforcement Training Standards Board has determined that an | ||||||
24 | investigation is warranted, the verified complaint shall be | ||||||
25 | assigned to an investigator or investigators. The investigator | ||||||
26 | or investigators shall conduct an investigation of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | verified complaint and shall write a report of his or her | ||||||
2 | findings. This report shall be submitted to the Executive | ||||||
3 | Director of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel. | ||||||
4 | Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Labor Relations Board State Panel shall review the | ||||||
6 | investigative report and determine whether sufficient evidence | ||||||
7 | exists to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the verified | ||||||
8 | complaint. If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor | ||||||
9 | Relations Board State Panel determines upon his or her review | ||||||
10 | of the investigatory report that a hearing should not be | ||||||
11 | conducted, the complaint shall be dismissed. This decision is | ||||||
12 | in the Executive Director's sole discretion, and this | ||||||
13 | dismissal may not be appealed. | ||||||
14 | If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations | ||||||
15 | Board State Panel determines that there is sufficient evidence | ||||||
16 | to warrant a hearing, a hearing shall be ordered on the | ||||||
17 | verified complaint, to be conducted by an administrative law | ||||||
18 | judge employed by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State | ||||||
19 | Panel. The Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations | ||||||
20 | Board State Panel shall inform the Executive Director of the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the | ||||||
22 | person who filed the complaint of either the dismissal of the | ||||||
23 | complaint or the issuance of the complaint for hearing. The | ||||||
24 | Executive Director shall assign the complaint to the | ||||||
25 | administrative law judge within 30 days of the decision | ||||||
26 | granting a hearing. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In the case of a finding of guilt on the offense of murder, | ||||||
2 | if a new trial is granted on direct appeal, or a state | ||||||
3 | post-conviction evidentiary hearing is ordered, based on a | ||||||
4 | claim that a police officer, under oath, knowingly and | ||||||
5 | willfully made false statements as to a material fact going to | ||||||
6 | an element of the offense of murder, the Illinois Labor | ||||||
7 | Relations Board State Panel shall hold a hearing to determine | ||||||
8 | whether the officer should be decertified if an interested | ||||||
9 | party requests such a hearing within 2 years of the court's | ||||||
10 | decision. The complaint shall be assigned to an administrative | ||||||
11 | law judge within 30 days so that a hearing can be scheduled. | ||||||
12 | At the hearing, the accused officer shall be afforded the | ||||||
13 | opportunity to: | ||||||
14 | (1) Be represented by counsel of his or her own | ||||||
15 | choosing; | ||||||
16 | (2) Be heard in his or her own defense; | ||||||
17 | (3) Produce evidence in his or her defense; | ||||||
18 | (4) Request that the Illinois Labor Relations Board | ||||||
19 | State Panel compel the attendance of witnesses and | ||||||
20 | production of related documents including but not limited | ||||||
21 | to court documents and records. | ||||||
22 | Once a case has been set for hearing, the verified | ||||||
23 | complaint shall be referred to the Department of Professional | ||||||
24 | Regulation. That office shall prosecute the verified complaint | ||||||
25 | at the hearing before the administrative law judge. The | ||||||
26 | Department of Professional Regulation shall have the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | opportunity to produce evidence to support the verified | ||||||
2 | complaint and to request the Illinois Labor Relations Board | ||||||
3 | State Panel to compel the attendance of witnesses and the | ||||||
4 | production of related documents, including, but not limited | ||||||
5 | to, court documents and records. The Illinois Labor Relations | ||||||
6 | Board State Panel shall have the power to issue subpoenas | ||||||
7 | requiring the attendance of and testimony of witnesses and the | ||||||
8 | production of related documents including, but not limited to, | ||||||
9 | court documents and records and shall have the power to | ||||||
10 | administer oaths. | ||||||
11 | The administrative law judge shall have the responsibility | ||||||
12 | of receiving into evidence relevant testimony and documents, | ||||||
13 | including court records, to support or disprove the | ||||||
14 | allegations made by the person filing the verified complaint | ||||||
15 | and, at the close of the case, hear arguments. If the | ||||||
16 | administrative law judge finds that there is not clear and | ||||||
17 | convincing evidence to support the verified complaint that the | ||||||
18 | police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and willfully | ||||||
19 | made false statements as to a material fact going to an element | ||||||
20 | of the offense of murder, the administrative law judge shall | ||||||
21 | make a written recommendation of dismissal to the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Labor Relations Board State Panel. If the administrative law | ||||||
23 | judge finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that | ||||||
24 | the police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and | ||||||
25 | willfully made false statements as to a material fact that | ||||||
26 | goes to an element of the offense of murder, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administrative law judge shall make a written recommendation | ||||||
2 | so concluding to the Illinois Labor Relations Board State | ||||||
3 | Panel. The hearings shall be transcribed. The Executive | ||||||
4 | Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards | ||||||
5 | Board shall be informed of the administrative law judge's | ||||||
6 | recommended findings and decision and the Illinois Labor | ||||||
7 | Relations Board State Panel's subsequent review of the | ||||||
8 | recommendation. | ||||||
9 | An officer named in any complaint filed pursuant to this | ||||||
10 | Act shall be indemnified for his or her reasonable attorney's | ||||||
11 | fees and costs by his or her employer. These fees shall be paid | ||||||
12 | in a regular and timely manner. The State, upon application by | ||||||
13 | the public employer, shall reimburse the public employer for | ||||||
14 | the accused officer's reasonable attorney's fees and costs. At | ||||||
15 | no time and under no circumstances will the accused officer be | ||||||
16 | required to pay his or her own reasonable attorney's fees or | ||||||
17 | costs. | ||||||
18 | The accused officer shall not be placed on unpaid status | ||||||
19 | because of the filing or processing of the verified complaint | ||||||
20 | until there is a final non-appealable order sustaining his or | ||||||
21 | her guilt and his or her certification is revoked. Nothing in | ||||||
22 | this Act, however, restricts the public employer from pursuing | ||||||
23 | discipline against the officer in the normal course and under | ||||||
24 | procedures then in place. | ||||||
25 | The Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall | ||||||
26 | review the administrative law judge's recommended decision and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | order and determine by a majority vote whether or not there was | ||||||
2 | clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while | ||||||
3 | under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as | ||||||
4 | to a material fact going to the offense of murder. Within 30 | ||||||
5 | days of service of the administrative law judge's recommended | ||||||
6 | decision and order, the parties may file exceptions to the | ||||||
7 | recommended decision and order and briefs in support of their | ||||||
8 | exceptions with the Illinois Labor Relations Board State | ||||||
9 | Panel. The parties may file responses to the exceptions and | ||||||
10 | briefs in support of the responses no later than 15 days after | ||||||
11 | the service of the exceptions. If exceptions are filed by any | ||||||
12 | of the parties, the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel | ||||||
13 | shall review the matter and make a finding to uphold, vacate, | ||||||
14 | or modify the recommended decision and order. If the Illinois | ||||||
15 | Labor Relations Board State Panel concludes that there is | ||||||
16 | clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while | ||||||
17 | under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as | ||||||
18 | to a material fact going to an element of the offense murder, | ||||||
19 | the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall inform | ||||||
20 | the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall revoke | ||||||
22 | the accused officer's certification. If the accused officer | ||||||
23 | appeals that determination to the Appellate Court, as provided | ||||||
24 | by this Act, he or she may petition the Appellate Court to stay | ||||||
25 | the revocation of his or her certification pending the court's | ||||||
26 | review of the matter. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | None of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel's | ||||||
2 | findings or determinations shall set any precedent in any of | ||||||
3 | its decisions decided pursuant to the Illinois Public Labor | ||||||
4 | Relations Act by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State | ||||||
5 | Panel or the courts. | ||||||
6 | A party aggrieved by the final order of the Illinois Labor | ||||||
7 | Relations Board State Panel may apply for and obtain judicial | ||||||
8 | review of an order of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State | ||||||
9 | Panel, in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative | ||||||
10 | Review Law, except that such judicial review shall be afforded | ||||||
11 | directly in the Appellate Court for the district in which the | ||||||
12 | accused officer resides. Any direct appeal to the Appellate | ||||||
13 | Court shall be filed within 35 days from the date that a copy | ||||||
14 | of the decision sought to be reviewed was served upon the party | ||||||
15 | affected by the decision. | ||||||
16 | Interested parties. Only interested parties to the | ||||||
17 | criminal prosecution in which the police officer allegedly, | ||||||
18 | while under oath, knowingly and willfully made false | ||||||
19 | statements as to a material fact going to an element of the | ||||||
20 | offense of murder may file a verified complaint pursuant to | ||||||
21 | this Section. For purposes of this Section, "interested | ||||||
22 | parties" shall be limited to the defendant and any police | ||||||
23 | officer who has personal knowledge that the police officer who | ||||||
24 | is the subject of the complaint has, while under oath, | ||||||
25 | knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a material | ||||||
26 | fact going to an element of the offense of murder. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Semi-annual reports. The Executive Director of the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Labor Relations Board shall submit semi-annual | ||||||
3 | reports to the Governor, President, and Minority Leader of the | ||||||
4 | Senate, and to the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of | ||||||
5 | Representatives beginning on June 30, 2004, indicating: | ||||||

17 | of the last report. | ||||||
18 | (a) The Board must review law enforcement officer conduct | ||||||
19 | and records to ensure that no law enforcement officer is | ||||||
20 | certified or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement | ||||||
21 | officer has been convicted of, found guilty of, entered a plea | ||||||
22 | of guilty to, or entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony | ||||||
23 | offense under the laws of this State or any other state which | ||||||
24 | if committed in this State would be punishable as a felony. The | ||||||
25 | Board must also ensure that no law enforcement officer is | ||||||
26 | certified or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement |

9 | III of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, | ||||||
10 | or subsection (a) of Section 17-32 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | ||||||
11 | or the Criminal Code of 2012, or to Section 5 or 5.2 of the | ||||||
12 | Cannabis Control Act, or any felony or misdemeanor in | ||||||
13 | violation of federal law or the law of any state that is the | ||||||
14 | equivalent of any of the offenses specified therein. The Board | ||||||
15 | must appoint investigators to enforce the duties conferred | ||||||
16 | upon the Board by this Act. | ||||||
17 | (a-1) For purposes of this Section, a person is "convicted | ||||||
18 | of, or entered a plea of guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to, | ||||||
19 | found guilty of" regardless of whether the adjudication of | ||||||
20 | guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered thereon. This | ||||||
21 | includes sentences of supervision, conditional discharge, or | ||||||
22 | first offender probation, or any similar disposition provided | ||||||
23 | for by law. | ||||||
24 | (b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief | ||||||
25 | executive officer of every law enforcement agency or | ||||||
26 | department within this State to report to the Board any |
| |||||||
| |||||||

4 | adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered | ||||||
5 | thereon, this includes sentences of supervision, conditional | ||||||
6 | discharge, or first offender probation. | ||||||
7 | (c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time | ||||||
8 | and part-time law enforcement officer in this State to report | ||||||
9 | to the Board within 14 days, and the officer's sheriff or chief | ||||||
10 | executive officer, of the officer's arrest, conviction, found | ||||||
11 | guilty of, or plea of guilty for an offense identified in this | ||||||
12 | Section. Any full-time or part-time law enforcement officer | ||||||
13 | who knowingly makes, submits, causes to be submitted, or files | ||||||
14 | a false or untruthful report to the Board must have the | ||||||
15 | officer's certificate or waiver immediately decertified or | ||||||
16 | revoked. | ||||||
17 | (d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is | ||||||
18 | immune from liability for submitting, disclosing, or releasing | ||||||
19 | information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in | ||||||
20 | this Section as long as the information is submitted, | ||||||
21 | disclosed, or released in good faith and without malice. The | ||||||
22 | Board has qualified immunity for the release of the | ||||||
23 | information. | ||||||
24 | (e) Any full-time or part-time law enforcement officer | ||||||
25 | with a certificate or waiver issued by the Board who is | ||||||
26 | convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty to, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or entered a plea of nolo contendere to any offense described | ||||||
2 | in this Section immediately becomes decertified or no longer | ||||||
3 | has a valid waiver. The decertification and invalidity of | ||||||
4 | waivers occurs as a matter of law. Failure of a convicted | ||||||
5 | person to report to the Board the officer's conviction as | ||||||
6 | described in this Section or any continued law enforcement | ||||||
7 | practice after receiving a conviction is a Class 4 felony. | ||||||
8 | For purposes of this Section, a person is considered to | ||||||
9 | have been "convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of | ||||||
10 | guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to" regardless of whether | ||||||
11 | the adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not | ||||||
12 | entered thereon, including sentences of supervision, | ||||||
13 | conditional discharge, first offender probation, or any | ||||||
14 | similar disposition as provided for by law. | ||||||
15 | (f) The Board's investigators shall be law enforcement | ||||||
16 | officers as defined in Section 2 of this Act. The Board shall | ||||||
17 | not waive the training requirement unless the investigator has | ||||||
18 | had a minimum of 5 years experience as a sworn officer of a | ||||||
19 | local, State, or federal law enforcement agency. An | ||||||
20 | investigator shall not have been terminated for good cause, | ||||||
21 | decertified, had his or her law enforcement license or | ||||||
22 | certificate revoked in this or any other jurisdiction, or been | ||||||
23 | convicted of any of the conduct listed in subsection (a). Any | ||||||
24 | complaint filed against the Board's investigators shall be | ||||||
25 | investigated by the Illinois State Police. | ||||||
26 | (g) The Board must request and receive information and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assistance from any federal, state, local, or private | ||||||
2 | enforcement agency as part of the authorized criminal | ||||||
3 | background investigation. The Illinois State Police must | ||||||
4 | process, retain, and additionally provide and disseminate | ||||||
5 | information to the Board concerning criminal charges, arrests, | ||||||
6 | convictions, and their disposition, that have been filed | ||||||
7 | against a basic academy applicant, law enforcement applicant, | ||||||
8 | or law enforcement officer whose fingerprint identification | ||||||
9 | cards are on file or maintained by the Illinois State Police. | ||||||
10 | The Federal Bureau of Investigation must provide the Board any | ||||||
11 | criminal history record information contained in its files | ||||||
12 | pertaining to law enforcement officers or any applicant to a | ||||||
13 | Board certified basic law enforcement academy as described in | ||||||
14 | this Act based on fingerprint identification. The Board must | ||||||
15 | make payment of fees to the Illinois State Police for each | ||||||
16 | fingerprint card submission in conformance with the | ||||||
17 | requirements of paragraph 22 of Section 55a of the Civil | ||||||
18 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
19 | (g-5) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the | ||||||
20 | contrary, the changes to this Section made by this amendatory | ||||||
21 | Act of the 102nd General Assembly and Public Act 101-652 shall | ||||||
22 | apply prospectively only from July 1, 2022. | ||||||

7 | governmental agency. Those requirements shall include | ||||||
8 | training in first aid (including cardiopulmonary | ||||||
9 | resuscitation). | ||||||
10 | e. Minimum basic training requirements, which a | ||||||
11 | probationary county corrections officer must | ||||||
12 | satisfactorily complete before being eligible for | ||||||
13 | permanent employment as a county corrections officer for a | ||||||

15 | f. Minimum basic training requirements which a | ||||||
16 | probationary court security officer must satisfactorily | ||||||
17 | complete before being eligible for permanent employment as | ||||||
18 | a court security officer for a participating local | ||||||
19 | governmental agency. The Board shall establish those | ||||||
20 | training requirements which it considers appropriate for | ||||||
21 | court security officers and shall certify schools to | ||||||
22 | conduct that training. | ||||||
23 | A person hired to serve as a court security officer | ||||||
24 | must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting to | ||||||
25 | the officer's successful completion of the training | ||||||
26 | course; (ii) attesting to the officer's satisfactory |
| |||||||
| |||||||

4 | to the Board's determination that the training course is | ||||||
5 | unnecessary because of the person's extensive prior law | ||||||
6 | enforcement experience. | ||||||
7 | Individuals who currently serve as court security | ||||||
8 | officers shall be deemed qualified to continue to serve in | ||||||
9 | that capacity so long as they are certified as provided by | ||||||

11 | date of Public Act 89-685). Failure to be so certified, | ||||||

14 | All individuals hired as court security officers on or | ||||||
15 | after June 1, 1997 (the effective date of Public Act | ||||||

18 | Board, or they shall forfeit their positions. | ||||||
19 | The Sheriff's Merit Commission, if one exists, or the | ||||||

21 | Commission, shall maintain a list of all individuals who | ||||||
22 | have filed applications to become court security officers | ||||||

1 | for verification of the applicants' qualifications under | ||||||
2 | this Act and as established by the Board. | ||||||

8 | mental health awareness and response, officer wellness, | ||||||
9 | reporting child abuse and neglect, and cultural | ||||||

11 | sensitivity . These trainings shall consist of at least 30 | ||||||
12 | hours of training every 3 years. | ||||||
13 | h. Minimum in-service training requirements, which a | ||||||
14 | police law enforcement officer must satisfactorily | ||||||
15 | complete at least annually. Those requirements shall | ||||||
16 | include law updates, and use of force training which shall | ||||||
17 | include scenario based training, or similar training | ||||||
18 | approved by the Board emergency medical response training | ||||||
19 | and certification, crisis intervention training, and | ||||||
20 | officer wellness and mental health . | ||||||
21 | i. Minimum in-service training requirements as set | ||||||
22 | forth in Section 10.6. | ||||||
23 | Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the | ||||||
24 | changes made to this Section by Public Act 101-652, Public Act | ||||||
25 | 102-28, and Public Act 102-694 take effect July 1, 2022. | ||||||

4 | Sec. 7.5. Police Law enforcement pursuit guidelines. The | ||||||
5 | Board shall annually review police pursuit procedures and make | ||||||
6 | available suggested police law enforcement pursuit guidelines | ||||||
7 | for law enforcement agencies. This Section does not alter the | ||||||
8 | effect of previously existing law, including the immunities | ||||||
9 | established under the Local Governmental and Governmental | ||||||
10 | Employees Tort Immunity Act. | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | (50 ILCS 705/8.1) (from Ch. 85, par. 508.1) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 8.1. Full-time police law enforcement and county | ||||||
21 | corrections officers. | ||||||
22 | (a) After January 1, 1976, no person shall receive a | ||||||
23 | permanent appointment as a law enforcement officer as defined |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in this Act nor shall any person receive, after the effective | ||||||
2 | date of this amendatory Act of 1984, a permanent appointment | ||||||
3 | as a county corrections officer unless that person has been | ||||||
4 | awarded, within 6 months of his or her initial full-time | ||||||
5 | employment, a certificate attesting to his or her successful | ||||||
6 | completion of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement and | ||||||
7 | County Correctional Training Course as prescribed by the | ||||||
8 | Board; or has been awarded a certificate attesting to his or | ||||||
9 | her satisfactory completion of a training program of similar | ||||||
10 | content and number of hours and which course has been found | ||||||
11 | acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or by | ||||||
12 | reason of extensive prior law enforcement or county | ||||||
13 | corrections experience the basic training requirement is | ||||||
14 | determined by the Board to be illogical and unreasonable. | ||||||
15 | If such training is required and not completed within the | ||||||
16 | applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit his or her | ||||||
17 | position, or the employing agency must obtain a waiver from | ||||||
18 | the Board extending the period for compliance. Such waiver | ||||||
19 | shall be issued only for good and justifiable reasons, and in | ||||||
20 | no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond the initial 6 | ||||||
21 | months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a law | ||||||
22 | enforcement officer within this period shall be prohibited | ||||||
23 | from employing this individual in a law enforcement capacity | ||||||
24 | for one year from the date training was to be completed. If an | ||||||
25 | agency again fails to train the individual a second time, the | ||||||
26 | agency shall be permanently barred from employing this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | individual in a law enforcement capacity. | ||||||
2 | (b) No provision of this Section shall be construed to | ||||||
3 | mean that a law enforcement officer employed by a local | ||||||
4 | governmental agency at the time of the effective date of this | ||||||
5 | amendatory Act, either as a probationary police officer or as | ||||||
6 | a permanent police officer, shall require certification under | ||||||
7 | the provisions of this Section. No provision of this Section | ||||||
8 | shall be construed to mean that a county corrections officer | ||||||
9 | employed by a local governmental agency at the time of the | ||||||
10 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 1984, either as a | ||||||
11 | probationary county corrections or as a permanent county | ||||||
12 | corrections officer, shall require certification under the | ||||||
13 | provisions of this Section. No provision of this Section shall | ||||||
14 | be construed to apply to certification of elected county | ||||||
15 | sheriffs. | ||||||
16 | (c) This Section does not apply to part-time police | ||||||
17 | officers or probationary part-time police officers. | ||||||
18 | (a) No person shall receive a permanent appointment as a | ||||||
19 | law enforcement officer or a permanent appointment as a county | ||||||
20 | corrections officer unless that person has been awarded, | ||||||
21 | within 6 months of the officer's initial full-time employment, | ||||||
22 | a certificate attesting to the officer's successful completion | ||||||
23 | of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement or County | ||||||
24 | Correctional Training Course as prescribed by the Board; or | ||||||
25 | has been awarded a certificate attesting to the officer's | ||||||
26 | satisfactory completion of a training program of similar |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | content and number of hours and which course has been found | ||||||
2 | acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or a | ||||||
3 | training waiver by reason of prior law enforcement or county | ||||||
4 | corrections experience, obtained in Illinois, in any other | ||||||
5 | state, or with an agency of the federal government, the basic | ||||||
6 | training requirement is determined by the Board to be | ||||||
7 | illogical and unreasonable. Agencies seeking a reciprocity | ||||||
8 | waiver for training completed outside of Illinois must conduct | ||||||
9 | a thorough background check and provide verification of the | ||||||
10 | officer's prior training. After review and satisfaction of all | ||||||
11 | requested conditions, the officer shall be awarded an | ||||||
12 | equivalency certificate satisfying the requirements of this | ||||||
13 | Section. Within 60 days after the effective date of this | ||||||
14 | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Board shall | ||||||
15 | adopt uniform rules providing for a waiver process for a | ||||||
16 | person previously employed and qualified as a law enforcement | ||||||
17 | or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of | ||||||
18 | any other state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement | ||||||
19 | officer or correctional officer academy who would be qualified | ||||||
20 | to be employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional | ||||||
21 | officer by the federal government or any other state. These | ||||||
22 | rules shall address the process for evaluating prior training | ||||||
23 | credit, a description and list of the courses typically | ||||||
24 | required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to | ||||||
25 | taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a | ||||||
26 | pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person | ||||||
2 | previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections | ||||||
3 | officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall | ||||||
4 | successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a | ||||||
5 | waiver: | ||||||
6 | (1) a training program or set of coursework approved | ||||||
7 | by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the | ||||||
8 | duties and training requirements of law enforcement and | ||||||
9 | county correctional officers; | ||||||
10 | (2) firearms training; and | ||||||
11 | (3) successful passage of the equivalency | ||||||
12 | certification examination. | ||||||
13 | If such training is required and not completed within the | ||||||
14 | applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit the | ||||||
15 | officer's position, or the employing agency must obtain a | ||||||
16 | waiver from the Board extending the period for compliance. | ||||||
17 | Such waiver shall be issued only for good and justifiable | ||||||
18 | reasons, and in no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond | ||||||
19 | the initial 6 months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a | ||||||
20 | law enforcement officer within this period shall be prohibited | ||||||
21 | from employing this individual in a law enforcement capacity | ||||||
22 | for one year from the date training was to be completed. If an | ||||||
23 | agency again fails to train the individual a second time, the | ||||||
24 | agency shall be permanently barred from employing this | ||||||
25 | individual in a law enforcement capacity. | ||||||
26 | An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certified status is inactive shall not function as a law | ||||||
2 | enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law | ||||||
3 | enforcement officer by an employing agency, or be authorized | ||||||
4 | to carry firearms under the authority of the employer, except | ||||||
5 | as otherwise authorized to carry a firearm under State or | ||||||
6 | federal law. Sheriffs who are elected as of January 1, 2022 | ||||||
7 | (the effective date of Public Act 101-652) are exempt from the | ||||||
8 | requirement of certified status. Failure to be certified in | ||||||
9 | accordance with this Act shall cause the officer to forfeit | ||||||
10 | the officer's position. | ||||||
11 | An employing agency may not grant a person status as a law | ||||||
12 | enforcement officer unless the person has been granted an | ||||||
13 | active law enforcement officer certification by the Board. | ||||||
14 | (b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law | ||||||
15 | enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement | ||||||
16 | authority. | ||||||
17 | (1) A law enforcement officer's certification becomes | ||||||
18 | inactive upon termination, resignation, retirement, or | ||||||
19 | separation from the officer's employing law enforcement | ||||||
20 | agency for any reason. The Board shall re-activate a | ||||||
21 | certification upon written application from the law | ||||||
22 | enforcement officer's law enforcement agency that shows | ||||||
23 | the law enforcement officer: (i) has accepted a full-time | ||||||
24 | law enforcement position with that law enforcement agency, | ||||||
25 | (ii) is not the subject of a decertification proceeding, | ||||||
26 | and (iii) meets all other criteria for re-activation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | required by the Board. The Board may also establish | ||||||
2 | special training requirements to be completed as a | ||||||
3 | condition for re-activation. | ||||||
4 | The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from | ||||||
5 | a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30 | ||||||
6 | days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement | ||||||
7 | officer shall be allowed to be employed as a full-time law | ||||||
8 | enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer | ||||||
9 | reactivation waiver is under review. | ||||||
10 | A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation | ||||||
11 | or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is | ||||||
12 | refused reactivation under this Section may request a | ||||||
13 | hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as | ||||||
14 | outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act. | ||||||
15 | The Board may refuse to re-activate the certification | ||||||
16 | of a law enforcement officer who was involuntarily | ||||||
17 | terminated for good cause by an employing agency for | ||||||
18 | conduct subject to decertification under this Act or | ||||||
19 | resigned or retired after receiving notice of a law | ||||||
20 | enforcement agency's investigation. | ||||||
21 | (2) A law enforcement agency may place an officer who | ||||||
22 | is currently certified on inactive status by sending a | ||||||
23 | written request to the Board. A law enforcement officer | ||||||
24 | whose certificate has been placed on inactive status shall | ||||||
25 | not function as a law enforcement officer until the | ||||||
26 | officer has completed any requirements for reactivating |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the certificate as required by the Board. A request for | ||||||
2 | inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing, | ||||||
3 | accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be | ||||||
4 | submitted to the Board with a copy to the chief | ||||||
5 | administrator of the law enforcement officer's current or | ||||||
6 | new employing agency. | ||||||
7 | (3) Certification that has become inactive under | ||||||
8 | paragraph (2) of this subsection (b) shall be reactivated | ||||||
9 | by written notice from the law enforcement officer's | ||||||
10 | agency upon a showing that the law enforcement officer: | ||||||
11 | (i) is employed in a full-time law enforcement position | ||||||
12 | with the same law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the | ||||||
13 | subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets | ||||||
14 | all other criteria for re-activation required by the | ||||||
15 | Board. | ||||||
16 | (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this subsection | ||||||
17 | (b), a law enforcement officer whose certification has | ||||||
18 | become inactive under paragraph (2) may have the officer's | ||||||
19 | employing agency submit a request for a waiver of training | ||||||
20 | requirements to the Board in writing and accompanied by | ||||||
21 | any verifying documentation. A grant of a waiver is within | ||||||
22 | the discretion of the Board. Within 7 days of receiving a | ||||||
23 | request for a waiver under this Section, the Board shall | ||||||
24 | notify the law enforcement officer and the chief | ||||||
25 | administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing | ||||||
26 | agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | if the Board will take additional time for information. A | ||||||
2 | law enforcement agency whose request for a waiver under | ||||||
3 | this subsection is denied is entitled to request a review | ||||||
4 | of the denial by the Board. The law enforcement agency | ||||||
5 | must request a review within 20 days of the waiver being | ||||||
6 | denied. The burden of proof shall be on the law | ||||||
7 | enforcement agency to show why the law enforcement officer | ||||||
8 | is entitled to a waiver of the legislatively required | ||||||
9 | training and eligibility requirements. | ||||||
10 | (c) No provision of this Section shall be construed to | ||||||
11 | mean that a county corrections officer employed by a | ||||||
12 | governmental agency at the time of the effective date of this | ||||||
13 | amendatory Act, either as a probationary county corrections | ||||||
14 | officer or as a permanent county corrections officer, shall | ||||||
15 | require certification under the provisions of this Section. No | ||||||
16 | provision of this Section shall be construed to apply to | ||||||
17 | certification of elected county sheriffs. | ||||||
18 | (d) Within 14 days, a law enforcement officer shall report | ||||||
19 | to the Board: (1) any name change; (2) any change in | ||||||
20 | employment; or (3) the filing of any criminal indictment or | ||||||
21 | charges against the officer alleging that the officer | ||||||
22 | committed any offense as enumerated in Section 6.1 of this | ||||||
23 | Act . | ||||||
24 | (e) All law enforcement officers must report the | ||||||
25 | completion of the training requirements required in this Act | ||||||
26 | in compliance with Section 8.4 of this Act. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e-1) Each employing law enforcement agency shall allow | ||||||
2 | and provide an opportunity for a law enforcement officer to | ||||||
3 | complete the mandated requirements in this Act. All mandated | ||||||
4 | training shall be provided at no cost to the employees. | ||||||
5 | Employees shall be paid for all time spent attending mandated | ||||||
6 | training. | ||||||
7 | (e-2) Each agency, academy, or training provider shall | ||||||
8 | maintain proof of a law enforcement officer's completion of | ||||||
9 | legislatively required training in a format designated by the | ||||||
10 | Board. The report of training shall be submitted to the Board | ||||||
11 | within 30 days following completion of the training. A copy of | ||||||
12 | the report shall be submitted to the law enforcement officer. | ||||||
13 | Upon receipt of a properly completed report of training, the | ||||||
14 | Board will make the appropriate entry into the training | ||||||
15 | records of the law enforcement officer. | ||||||
16 | (f) This Section does not apply to part-time law | ||||||
17 | enforcement officers or probationary part-time law enforcement | ||||||
18 | officers. | ||||||
19 | (g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, | ||||||
20 | the changes made to this Section by Public Act 101-652, Public | ||||||
21 | Act 102-28, and Public Act 102-694 take effect July 1, 2022. | ||||||
22 | (Source: P.A. 102-28, eff. 6-25-21; 102-694, eff. 1-7-22; | ||||||

25 | Sec. 8.2. Part-time police law enforcement officers. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) A person hired to serve as a part-time police officer | ||||||
2 | must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting to his | ||||||
3 | or her successful completion of the part-time police training | ||||||
4 | course; (ii) attesting to his or her satisfactory completion | ||||||
5 | of a training program of similar content and number of hours | ||||||
6 | that has been found acceptable by the Board under the | ||||||
7 | provisions of this Act; or (iii) attesting to the Board's | ||||||
8 | determination that the part-time police training course is | ||||||
9 | unnecessary because of the person's extensive prior law | ||||||
10 | enforcement experience. A person hired on or after March 14, | ||||||
11 | 2002 (the effective date of Public Act 92-533) must obtain | ||||||
12 | this certificate within 18 months after the initial date of | ||||||
13 | hire as a probationary part-time police officer in the State | ||||||
14 | of Illinois. The probationary part-time police officer must be | ||||||
15 | enrolled and accepted into a Board-approved course within 6 | ||||||
16 | months after active employment by any department in the State. | ||||||
17 | A person hired on or after January 1, 1996 and before March 14, | ||||||
18 | 2002 (the effective date of Public Act 92-533) must obtain | ||||||
19 | this certificate within 18 months after the date of hire. A | ||||||
20 | person hired before January 1, 1996 must obtain this | ||||||
21 | certificate within 24 months after January 1, 1996 (the | ||||||
22 | effective date of Public Act 89-170). | ||||||
23 | The employing agency may seek a waiver from the Board | ||||||
24 | extending the period for compliance. A waiver shall be issued | ||||||
25 | only for good and justifiable reasons, and the probationary | ||||||
26 | part-time police officer may not practice as a part-time |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | police officer during the waiver period. If training is | ||||||
2 | required and not completed within the applicable time period, | ||||||
3 | as extended by any waiver that may be granted, then the officer | ||||||
4 | must forfeit his or her position. | ||||||
5 | (b) (Blank). | ||||||
6 | (c) The part-time police training course referred to in | ||||||
7 | this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of | ||||||
8 | hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be | ||||||
9 | provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the | ||||||
10 | Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service | ||||||
11 | Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a | ||||||
12 | manner prescribed by the Board. | ||||||
13 | (d) For the purposes of this Section, the Board shall | ||||||
14 | adopt rules defining what constitutes employment on a | ||||||
15 | part-time basis. | ||||||
16 | (a) A person hired to serve as a part-time law enforcement | ||||||
17 | officer must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting | ||||||
18 | to the officer's successful completion of the part-time police | ||||||
19 | training course; (ii) attesting to the officer's satisfactory | ||||||
20 | completion of a training program of similar content and number | ||||||
21 | of hours that has been found acceptable by the Board under the | ||||||
22 | provisions of this Act; or (iii) a training waiver attesting | ||||||
23 | to the Board's determination that the part-time police | ||||||
24 | training course is unnecessary because of the person's prior | ||||||
25 | law enforcement experience obtained in Illinois, in any other | ||||||
26 | state, or with an agency of the federal government. A person |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hired on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
2 | the 92nd General Assembly must obtain this certificate within | ||||||
3 | 18 months after the initial date of hire as a probationary | ||||||
4 | part-time law enforcement officer in the State of Illinois. | ||||||
5 | The probationary part-time law enforcement officer must be | ||||||
6 | enrolled and accepted into a Board-approved course within 6 | ||||||
7 | months after active employment by any department in the State. | ||||||
8 | A person hired on or after January 1, 1996 and before the | ||||||
9 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General | ||||||
10 | Assembly must obtain this certificate within 18 months after | ||||||
11 | the date of hire. A person hired before January 1, 1996 must | ||||||
12 | obtain this certificate within 24 months after the effective | ||||||
13 | date of this amendatory Act of 1995. Agencies seeking a | ||||||
14 | reciprocity waiver for training completed outside of Illinois | ||||||
15 | must conduct a thorough background check and provide | ||||||
16 | verification of the officer's prior training. After review and | ||||||
17 | satisfaction of all requested conditions, the officer shall be | ||||||
18 | awarded an equivalency certificate satisfying the requirements | ||||||
19 | of this Section. Within 60 days after the effective date of | ||||||
20 | this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Board | ||||||
21 | shall adopt uniform rules providing for a waiver process for a | ||||||
22 | person previously employed and qualified as a law enforcement | ||||||
23 | or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of | ||||||
24 | any other state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement | ||||||
25 | officer or correctional officer academy who would be qualified | ||||||
26 | to be employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | officer by the federal government or any other state. These | ||||||
2 | rules shall address the process for evaluating prior training | ||||||
3 | credit, a description and list of the courses typically | ||||||
4 | required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to | ||||||
5 | taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a | ||||||
6 | pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training | ||||||
7 | waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person | ||||||
8 | previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections | ||||||
9 | officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall | ||||||
10 | successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a | ||||||
11 | waiver: | ||||||
12 | (1) a training program or set of coursework approved | ||||||
13 | by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the | ||||||
14 | duties and training requirements of law enforcement and | ||||||
15 | county correctional officers; | ||||||
16 | (2) firearms training; and | ||||||
17 | (3) successful passage of the equivalency | ||||||
18 | certification examination. | ||||||
19 | The employing agency may seek an extension waiver from the | ||||||
20 | Board extending the period for compliance. An extension waiver | ||||||
21 | shall be issued only for good and justifiable reasons, and the | ||||||
22 | probationary part-time law enforcement officer may not | ||||||
23 | practice as a part-time law enforcement officer during the | ||||||
24 | extension waiver period. If training is required and not | ||||||
25 | completed within the applicable time period, as extended by | ||||||
26 | any waiver that may be granted, then the officer must forfeit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the officer's position. | ||||||
2 | An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose | ||||||
3 | certified status is inactive shall not function as a law | ||||||
4 | enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law | ||||||
5 | enforcement officer by an agency, or be authorized to carry | ||||||
6 | firearms under the authority of the employer, except that | ||||||
7 | sheriffs who are elected are exempt from the requirement of | ||||||
8 | certified status. Failure to be in accordance with this Act | ||||||
9 | shall cause the officer to forfeit the officer's position. | ||||||
10 | (a-5) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer | ||||||
11 | shall be allowed to complete six months of a part-time police | ||||||
12 | training course and function as a law enforcement officer as | ||||||
13 | permitted by this subsection with a waiver from the Board, | ||||||
14 | provided the part-time law enforcement officer is still | ||||||
15 | enrolled in the training course. If the part-time probationary | ||||||
16 | law enforcement officer withdraws from the course for any | ||||||
17 | reason or does not complete the course within the applicable | ||||||
18 | time period, as extended by any waiver that may be granted, | ||||||
19 | then the officer must forfeit the officer's position. A | ||||||
20 | probationary law enforcement officer must function under the | ||||||
21 | following rules: | ||||||
22 | (1) A law enforcement agency may not grant a person | ||||||
23 | status as a law enforcement officer unless the person has | ||||||
24 | been granted an active law enforcement officer | ||||||
25 | certification by the Board. | ||||||
26 | (2) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall not be used as a permanent replacement for a | ||||||
2 | full-time law enforcement. | ||||||
3 | (3) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer | ||||||
4 | shall be directly supervised at all times by a Board | ||||||
5 | certified law enforcement officer. Direct supervision | ||||||
6 | requires oversight and control with the supervisor having | ||||||
7 | final decision-making authority as to the actions of the | ||||||
8 | recruit during duty hours. | ||||||
9 | (b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law | ||||||
10 | enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement | ||||||
11 | authority. | ||||||
12 | (1) A law enforcement officer's certification becomes | ||||||
13 | inactive upon termination, resignation, retirement, or | ||||||
14 | separation from the employing agency for any reason. The | ||||||
15 | Board shall re-activate a certification upon written | ||||||
16 | application from the law enforcement officer's employing | ||||||
17 | agency that shows the law enforcement officer: (i) has | ||||||
18 | accepted a part-time law enforcement position with that a | ||||||
19 | law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the subject of a | ||||||
20 | decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets all other | ||||||
21 | criteria for re-activation required by the Board. | ||||||
22 | The Board may refuse to re-activate the certification | ||||||
23 | of a law enforcement officer who was involuntarily | ||||||
24 | terminated for good cause by the officer's employing | ||||||
25 | agency for conduct subject to decertification under this | ||||||
26 | Act or resigned or retired after receiving notice of a law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement agency's investigation. | ||||||
2 | (2) A law enforcement agency may place an officer who | ||||||
3 | is currently certified on inactive status by sending a | ||||||
4 | written request to the Board. A law enforcement officer | ||||||
5 | whose certificate has been placed on inactive status shall | ||||||
6 | not function as a law enforcement officer until the | ||||||
7 | officer has completed any requirements for reactivating | ||||||
8 | the certificate as required by the Board. A request for | ||||||
9 | inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing, | ||||||
10 | accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be | ||||||
11 | submitted to the Board by the law enforcement officer's | ||||||
12 | employing agency. | ||||||
13 | (3) Certification that has become inactive under | ||||||
14 | paragraph (2) of this subsection (b), shall be reactivated | ||||||
15 | by written notice from the law enforcement officer's law | ||||||
16 | enforcement agency upon a showing that the law enforcement | ||||||
17 | officer is: (i) employed in a part-time law enforcement | ||||||
18 | position with the same law enforcement agency, (ii) not | ||||||
19 | the subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii) | ||||||
20 | meets all other criteria for re-activation required by the | ||||||
21 | Board. The Board may also establish special training | ||||||
22 | requirements to be completed as a condition for | ||||||
23 | re-activation. | ||||||
24 | The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from | ||||||
25 | a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30 | ||||||
26 | days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | officer shall be allowed to be employed as a part-time law | ||||||
2 | enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer | ||||||
3 | reactivation waiver is under review. | ||||||
4 | A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation | ||||||
5 | or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is | ||||||
6 | refused reactivation under this Section may request a | ||||||
7 | hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as | ||||||
8 | outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act. | ||||||
9 | (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this Section, a | ||||||
10 | law enforcement officer whose certification has become | ||||||
11 | inactive under paragraph (2) may have the officer's | ||||||
12 | employing agency submit a request for a waiver of training | ||||||
13 | requirements to the Board in writing and accompanied by | ||||||
14 | any verifying documentation. A grant of a waiver is within | ||||||
15 | the discretion of the Board. Within 7 days of receiving a | ||||||
16 | request for a waiver under this section, the Board shall | ||||||
17 | notify the law enforcement officer and the chief | ||||||
18 | administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing | ||||||
19 | agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or | ||||||
20 | if the Board will take additional time for information. A | ||||||
21 | law enforcement agency or law enforcement officer, whose | ||||||
22 | request for a waiver under this subsection is denied, is | ||||||
23 | entitled to request a review of the denial by the Board. | ||||||
24 | The law enforcement agency must request a review within 20 | ||||||
25 | days after the waiver being denied. The burden of proof | ||||||
26 | shall be on the law enforcement agency to show why the law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement officer is entitled to a waiver of the | ||||||
2 | legislatively required training and eligibility | ||||||
3 | requirements. | ||||||
4 | (c) The part-time police training course referred to in | ||||||
5 | this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of | ||||||
6 | hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be | ||||||
7 | provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the | ||||||
8 | Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service | ||||||
9 | Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a | ||||||
10 | manner prescribed by the Board. | ||||||
11 | (d) Within 14 days, a law enforcement officer shall report | ||||||
12 | to the Board: (1) any name change; (2) any change in | ||||||
13 | employment; or (3) the filing of any criminal indictment or | ||||||
14 | charges against the officer alleging that the officer | ||||||
15 | committed any offense as enumerated in Section 6.1 of this | ||||||
16 | Act. | ||||||
17 | (e) All law enforcement officers must report the | ||||||
18 | completion of the training requirements required in this Act | ||||||
19 | in compliance with Section 8.4 of this Act. | ||||||
20 | (e-1) Each employing agency shall allow and provide an | ||||||
21 | opportunity for a law enforcement officer to complete the | ||||||
22 | requirements in this Act. All mandated training shall be | ||||||
23 | provided for at no cost to the employees. Employees shall be | ||||||
24 | paid for all time spent attending mandated training. | ||||||
25 | (e-2) Each agency, academy, or training provider shall | ||||||
26 | maintain proof of a law enforcement officer's completion of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | legislatively required training in a format designated by the | ||||||
2 | Board. The report of training shall be submitted to the Board | ||||||
3 | within 30 days following completion of the training. A copy of | ||||||
4 | the report shall be submitted to the law enforcement officer. | ||||||
5 | Upon receipt of a properly completed report of training, the | ||||||
6 | Board will make the appropriate entry into the training | ||||||
7 | records of the law enforcement officer. | ||||||
8 | (f) For the purposes of this Section, the Board shall | ||||||
9 | adopt rules defining what constitutes employment on a | ||||||
10 | part-time basis. | ||||||
11 | (g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, | ||||||
12 | the changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
13 | 102nd General Assembly and Public Act 101-652 take effect July | ||||||
14 | 1, 2022. | ||||||

18 | officer or county corrections officer recruits, then to | ||||||

11 | person who is not a participant in the self-managed plan under | ||||||
12 | Section 3-109.3 and who first becomes a police officer under | ||||||
13 | this Article on or after January 1, 2011. | ||||||
14 | A police officer age 55 or more who has 10 or more years of | ||||||
15 | service in that capacity shall be entitled at his option to | ||||||
16 | receive a monthly pension for his service as a police officer | ||||||
17 | computed by multiplying 2.5% for each year of such service by | ||||||
18 | his or her final average salary. | ||||||
19 | The pension of a police officer who is retiring after | ||||||
20 | attaining age 50 with 10 or more years of creditable service | ||||||
21 | shall be reduced by one-half of 1% for each month that the | ||||||
22 | police officer's age is under age 55. | ||||||
23 | The maximum pension under this subsection (d) shall be 75% | ||||||
24 | of final average salary. | ||||||
25 | For the purposes of this subsection (d), "final average | ||||||
26 | salary" means the greater of: (i) the average monthly salary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | obtained by dividing the total salary of the police officer | ||||||
2 | during the 48 consecutive months of service within the last 60 | ||||||
3 | months of service in which the total salary was the highest by | ||||||
4 | the number of months of service in that period; or (ii) the | ||||||
5 | average monthly salary obtained by dividing the total salary | ||||||
6 | of the police officer during the 96 consecutive months of | ||||||
7 | service within the last 120 months of service in which the | ||||||
8 | total salary was the highest by the number of months of service | ||||||
9 | in that period. | ||||||
10 | Beginning on January 1, 2011, for all purposes under this | ||||||
11 | Code (including without limitation the calculation of benefits | ||||||
12 | and employee contributions), the annual salary based on the | ||||||
13 | plan year of a member or participant to whom this Section | ||||||
14 | applies shall not exceed $106,800; however, that amount shall | ||||||
15 | annually thereafter be increased by the lesser of (i) 3% of | ||||||
16 | that amount, including all previous adjustments, or (ii) the | ||||||
17 | annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) | ||||||
18 | in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
19 | September preceding each November 1, including all previous | ||||||
20 | adjustments. | ||||||
21 | Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 101st General | ||||||
22 | Assembly shall cause or otherwise result in any retroactive | ||||||
23 | adjustment of any employee contributions. | ||||||

12 | (b) The monthly pension of a police officer who retired | ||||||
13 | from service with 20 or more years of service, on or before | ||||||

15 | following the year of attaining age 65 or in January of 1972, | ||||||
16 | if then over age 65, by 3% of the originally granted pension | ||||||
17 | for each year the police officer received pension payments. In | ||||||

10 | each year thereafter. | ||||||
11 | The changes made to this subsection (d) by this amendatory | ||||||
12 | Act of the 91st General Assembly apply to all initial | ||||||
13 | increases that become payable under this subsection on or | ||||||

15 | payable under this subsection on or after January 1, 1999 and | ||||||
16 | before the effective date of this amendatory Act shall be | ||||||
17 | recalculated and the additional amount accruing for that | ||||||
18 | period, if any, shall be payable to the pensioner in a lump | ||||||
19 | sum. | ||||||
20 | (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), upon | ||||||
21 | the first day of the month following (1) the first anniversary | ||||||
22 | of the date of retirement, or (2) the attainment of age 55, or | ||||||
23 | (3) July 1, 1987, whichever occurs latest, the monthly pension | ||||||
24 | of a police officer who retired on or after January 1, 1977 and | ||||||
25 | on or before January 1, 1986, and did not receive an increase | ||||||
26 | under subsection (a) before July 1, 1987, shall be increased |

2 | year that has elapsed since the pension began, and by an | ||||||
3 | additional 3% of the originally granted pension in each | ||||||

8 | beginning with increases granted on or after July 1, 1993, the | ||||||
9 | second and all subsequent automatic annual increases granted | ||||||
10 | under subsection (a), (b), (d), or (e) of this Section shall be | ||||||
11 | calculated as 3% of the amount of pension payable at the time | ||||||
12 | of the increase, including any increases previously granted | ||||||
13 | under this Section, rather than 3% of the originally granted | ||||||
14 | pension amount. Section 1-103.1 does not apply to this | ||||||
15 | subsection (f). | ||||||

23 | Assembly, eligibility for and the amount of the automatic | ||||||
24 | increase in the monthly pension of such a person shall be | ||||||
25 | calculated as otherwise provided in this Section . Each annual | ||||||
26 | increase shall be calculated at 3% or one-half the annual |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the | ||||||
2 | consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
3 | September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the | ||||||

24 | entitled. Upon the death of the surviving spouse, or upon the | ||||||

12 | the pension fund for the year involved, plus (2) an amount | ||||||
13 | sufficient to bring the total assets of the pension fund up to | ||||||
14 | 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the pension fund by | ||||||
15 | the end of municipal fiscal year 2040, as annually updated and | ||||||

18 | the pension fund or the municipality , minus (3) any | ||||||
19 | anticipated State contributions from the Local Government | ||||||

22 | shall be calculated each year as a level percentage of payroll | ||||||
23 | over the years remaining up to and including fiscal year 2040 | ||||||
24 | and shall be determined under the projected unit credit | ||||||
25 | actuarial cost method. The tax shall be levied and collected | ||||||
26 | in the same manner as the general taxes of the municipality, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and in addition to all other taxes now or hereafter authorized | ||||||
2 | to be levied upon all property within the municipality, and | ||||||
3 | shall be in addition to the amount authorized to be levied for | ||||||
4 | general purposes as provided by Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Municipal Code, approved May 29, 1961, as amended. The tax | ||||||
6 | shall be forwarded directly to the treasurer of the board | ||||||

13 | 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the pension fund by | ||||||
14 | the end of municipal fiscal year 2040, as annually updated and | ||||||
15 | determined by an enrolled actuary employed by the Department | ||||||
16 | of Insurance or by an enrolled actuary retained by the pension | ||||||
17 | fund or the municipality. | ||||||
18 | (b) For purposes of determining the required employer | ||||||
19 | contribution to a pension fund, the value of the pension | ||||||
20 | fund's assets shall be equal to the actuarial value of the | ||||||
21 | pension fund's assets, which shall be calculated as follows: | ||||||
22 | (1) On March 30, 2011, the actuarial value of a | ||||||
23 | pension fund's assets shall be equal to the market value | ||||||
24 | of the assets as of that date. | ||||||
25 | (2) In determining the actuarial value of the System's | ||||||
26 | assets for fiscal years after March 30, 2011, any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | actuarial gains or losses from investment return incurred | ||||||
2 | in a fiscal year shall be recognized in equal annual | ||||||
3 | amounts over the 5-year period following that fiscal year. | ||||||
4 | (c) If a participating municipality fails to transmit to | ||||||
5 | the fund contributions required of it under this Article for | ||||||
6 | more than 90 days after the payment of those contributions is | ||||||
7 | due, the fund may, after giving notice to the municipality, | ||||||
8 | certify to the State Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent | ||||||
9 | payments in accordance with any applicable rules of the | ||||||
10 | Comptroller, and the Comptroller must, beginning in fiscal | ||||||
11 | year 2016, deduct and remit to the fund the certified amounts | ||||||
12 | or a portion of those amounts from the following proportions | ||||||
13 | of payments of State funds to the municipality: | ||||||
14 | (1) in fiscal year 2016, one-third of the total amount | ||||||
15 | of any payments of State funds to the municipality; | ||||||
16 | (2) in fiscal year 2017, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
17 | amount of any payments of State funds to the municipality; | ||||||
18 | and | ||||||
19 | (3) in fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year | ||||||
20 | thereafter, the total amount of any payments of State | ||||||
21 | funds to the municipality. | ||||||
22 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any payments of | ||||||
23 | State funds to the municipality more than the amount of | ||||||
24 | delinquent payments certified to the State Comptroller by the | ||||||
25 | fund. | ||||||

16 | Accountability shall conduct a study of all funds established | ||||||
17 | under this Article and shall report its findings to the | ||||||
18 | General Assembly on or before January 1, 2013. To the fullest | ||||||
19 | extent possible, the study shall include, but not be limited | ||||||

13 | 1, 2011 the same level of benefits and eligibility criteria | ||||||

3 | Sec. 4-109. Pension. | ||||||
4 | (a) A firefighter age 50 or more with 20 or more years of | ||||||
5 | creditable service, who is no longer in service as a | ||||||
6 | firefighter, shall receive a monthly pension of 1/2 the | ||||||
7 | monthly salary attached to the rank held by him or her in the | ||||||
8 | fire service at the date of retirement. | ||||||
9 | The monthly pension shall be increased by 1/12 of 2.5% of | ||||||
10 | such monthly salary for each additional month over 20 years of | ||||||
11 | service through 30 years of service, to a maximum of 75% of | ||||||
12 | such monthly salary. | ||||||
13 | The changes made to this subsection (a) by this amendatory | ||||||
14 | Act of the 91st General Assembly apply to all pensions that | ||||||
15 | become payable under this subsection on or after January 1, | ||||||
16 | 1999. All pensions payable under this subsection that began on | ||||||
17 | or after January 1, 1999 and before the effective date of this | ||||||
18 | amendatory Act shall be recalculated, and the amount of the | ||||||
19 | increase accruing for that period shall be payable to the | ||||||
20 | pensioner in a lump sum. | ||||||
21 | (b) A firefighter who retires or is separated from service | ||||||
22 | having at least 10 but less than 20 years of creditable | ||||||
23 | service, who is not entitled to receive a disability pension, | ||||||
24 | and who did not apply for a refund of contributions at his or | ||||||
25 | her last separation from service shall receive a monthly |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pension upon attainment of age 60 based on the monthly salary | ||||||
2 | attached to his or her rank in the fire service on the date of | ||||||
3 | retirement or separation from service according to the | ||||||
4 | following schedule: | ||||||
5 | For 10 years of service, 15% of salary;
| ||||||
6 | For 11 years of service, 17.6% of salary;
| ||||||
7 | For 12 years of service, 20.4% of salary;
| ||||||
8 | For 13 years of service, 23.4% of salary;
| ||||||
9 | For 14 years of service, 26.6% of salary;
| ||||||
10 | For 15 years of service, 30% of salary;

13 | For 18 years of service, 41.4% of salary;
| ||||||
14 | For 19 years of service, 45.6% of salary. | ||||||
15 | (c) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of this | ||||||
16 | Article, the provisions of this subsection (c) apply to a | ||||||
17 | person who first becomes a firefighter under this Article on | ||||||
18 | or after January 1, 2011. | ||||||
19 | A firefighter age 55 or more who has 10 or more years of | ||||||
20 | service in that capacity shall be entitled at his option to | ||||||
21 | receive a monthly pension for his service as a firefighter | ||||||
22 | computed by multiplying 2.5% for each year of such service by | ||||||
23 | his or her final average salary. | ||||||
24 | The pension of a firefighter who is retiring after | ||||||
25 | attaining age 50 with 10 or more years of creditable service | ||||||
26 | shall be reduced by one-half of 1% for each month that the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | firefighter's age is under age 55. | ||||||
2 | The maximum pension under this subsection (c) shall be 75% | ||||||
3 | of final average salary. | ||||||
4 | For the purposes of this subsection (c), "final average | ||||||
5 | salary" means the greater of: (i) the average monthly salary | ||||||
6 | obtained by dividing the total salary of the firefighter | ||||||
7 | during the 48 consecutive months of service within the last 60 | ||||||
8 | months of service in which the total salary was the highest by | ||||||
9 | the number of months of service in that period; or (ii) the | ||||||
10 | average monthly salary obtained by dividing the total salary | ||||||
11 | of the firefighter during the 96 consecutive months of service | ||||||
12 | within the last 120 months of service in which the total salary | ||||||
13 | was the highest by the number of months of service in that | ||||||
14 | period. | ||||||
15 | Beginning on January 1, 2011, for all purposes under this | ||||||
16 | Code (including without limitation the calculation of benefits | ||||||
17 | and employee contributions), the annual salary based on the | ||||||
18 | plan year of a member or participant to whom this Section | ||||||
19 | applies shall not exceed $106,800; however, that amount shall | ||||||
20 | annually thereafter be increased by the lesser of (i) 3% of | ||||||
21 | that amount, including all previous adjustments, or (ii) the | ||||||
22 | annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) | ||||||
23 | in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
24 | September preceding each November 1, including all previous | ||||||
25 | adjustments. | ||||||
26 | Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 101st General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly shall cause or otherwise result in any retroactive | ||||||
2 | adjustment of any employee contributions. | ||||||

20 | year of attaining age 65 or in January 1972, if then over age | ||||||
21 | 65, by 2% of the originally granted monthly pension, for each | ||||||
22 | year the firefighter received pension payments. In each | ||||||
23 | January thereafter, he or she shall receive an additional | ||||||
24 | increase of 2% of the original monthly pension. Effective | ||||||
25 | January 1976, the rate of the annual increase shall be 3%. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The monthly pension of a firefighter who is receiving | ||||||
2 | a disability pension under this Article shall be increased, in | ||||||
3 | January of the year following the year the firefighter attains | ||||||
4 | age 60, or in January 1974, if then over age 60, by 2% of the | ||||||
5 | originally granted monthly pension for each year he or she | ||||||
6 | received pension payments. In each January thereafter, the | ||||||
7 | firefighter shall receive an additional increase of 2% of the | ||||||
8 | original monthly pension. Effective January 1976, the rate of | ||||||
9 | the annual increase shall be 3%. | ||||||
10 | (c-1) On January 1, 1998, every child's disability benefit | ||||||
11 | payable on that date under Section 4-110 or 4-110.1 shall be | ||||||
12 | increased by an amount equal to 1/12 of 3% of the amount of the | ||||||
13 | benefit, multiplied by the number of months for which the | ||||||
14 | benefit has been payable. On each January 1 thereafter, every | ||||||
15 | child's disability benefit payable under Section 4-110 or | ||||||
16 | 4-110.1 shall be increased by 3% of the amount of the benefit | ||||||
17 | then being paid, including any previous increases received | ||||||
18 | under this Article. These increases are not subject to any | ||||||
19 | limitation on the maximum benefit amount included in Section | ||||||
20 | 4-110 or 4-110.1. | ||||||
21 | (c-2) On July 1, 2004, every pension payable to or on | ||||||
22 | behalf of a minor or disabled surviving child that is payable | ||||||
23 | on that date under Section 4-114 shall be increased by an | ||||||
24 | amount equal to 1/12 of 3% of the amount of the pension, | ||||||
25 | multiplied by the number of months for which the benefit has | ||||||
26 | been payable. On July 1, 2005, July 1, 2006, July 1, 2007, and |

| |||||||

7 | 4-114. | ||||||
8 | (d) The monthly pension of a firefighter who retires after | ||||||
9 | January 1, 1986, shall, upon either the first of the month | ||||||
10 | following the first anniversary of the date of retirement if | ||||||
11 | 55 years of age or over, or upon the first day of the month | ||||||
12 | following attainment of age 55 if it occurs after the first | ||||||
13 | anniversary of retirement, be increased by 1/12 of 3% of the | ||||||
14 | originally granted monthly pension for each full month that | ||||||
15 | has elapsed since the pension began, and by an additional 3% in | ||||||
16 | each January thereafter. | ||||||
17 | The changes made to this subsection (d) by this amendatory | ||||||
18 | Act of the 91st General Assembly apply to all initial | ||||||
19 | increases that become payable under this subsection on or | ||||||

21 | payable under this subsection on or after January 1, 1999 and | ||||||
22 | before the effective date of this amendatory Act shall be | ||||||
23 | recalculated and the additional amount accruing for that | ||||||
24 | period, if any, shall be payable to the pensioner in a lump | ||||||
25 | sum. | ||||||
26 | (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), upon |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the first day of the month following (1) the first anniversary | ||||||
2 | of the date of retirement, or (2) the attainment of age 55, or | ||||||
3 | (3) July 1, 1987, whichever occurs latest, the monthly pension | ||||||
4 | of a firefighter who retired on or after January 1, 1977 and on | ||||||
5 | or before January 1, 1986 and did not receive an increase under | ||||||
6 | subsection (a) before July 1, 1987, shall be increased by 3% of | ||||||
7 | the originally granted monthly pension for each full year that | ||||||
8 | has elapsed since the pension began, and by an additional 3% in | ||||||

10 | subsection are in lieu of the increases provided in subsection | ||||||
11 | (a). | ||||||
12 | (f) In July 2009, the monthly pension of a firefighter who | ||||||
13 | retired before July 1, 1977 shall be recalculated and | ||||||
14 | increased to reflect the amount that the firefighter would | ||||||
15 | have received in July 2009 had the firefighter been receiving | ||||||
16 | a 3% compounded increase for each year he or she received | ||||||
17 | pension payments after January 1, 1986, plus any increases in | ||||||
18 | pension received for each year prior to January 1, 1986. In | ||||||
19 | each January thereafter, he or she shall receive an additional | ||||||
20 | increase of 3% of the amount of the pension then being paid. | ||||||
21 | The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||

25 | the monthly pension of a person who first becomes a | ||||||
26 | firefighter under this Article on or after January 1, 2011 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be increased on the January 1 occurring either on or | ||||||
2 | after the attainment of age 60 or the first anniversary of the | ||||||
3 | pension start date, whichever is later ; except that, beginning | ||||||
4 | on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd | ||||||
5 | General Assembly, eligibility for and the amount of the | ||||||
6 | automatic increase in the monthly pension of such a person | ||||||
7 | shall be calculated as otherwise provided in this Section . | ||||||
8 | Each annual increase shall be calculated at 3% or one-half the | ||||||
9 | annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) | ||||||
10 | in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
11 | September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the | ||||||
12 | originally granted pension. If the annual unadjusted | ||||||
13 | percentage change in the consumer price index-u for a 12-month | ||||||
14 | period ending in September is zero or, when compared with the | ||||||
15 | preceding period, decreases, then the pension shall not be | ||||||
16 | increased. | ||||||
17 | For the purposes of this subsection (g), "consumer price | ||||||
18 | index-u" means the index published by the Bureau of Labor | ||||||
19 | Statistics of the United States Department of Labor that | ||||||
20 | measures the average change in prices of goods and services | ||||||
21 | purchased by all urban consumers, United States city average, | ||||||
22 | all items, 1982-84 = 100. The new amount resulting from each | ||||||
23 | annual adjustment shall be determined by the Public Pension | ||||||
24 | Division of the Department of Insurance and made available to | ||||||
25 | the boards of the pension funds. | ||||||

10 | shall be paid to his or her survivors, based on the monthly | ||||||
11 | salary attached to the firefighter's rank on the last day of | ||||||
12 | service in the fire department, as follows: | ||||||
13 | (a)(1) To the surviving spouse, a monthly pension of | ||||||
14 | 40% of the monthly salary, and if there is a surviving | ||||||
15 | spouse, to the guardian of any minor child or children | ||||||
16 | including a child which has been conceived but not yet | ||||||
17 | born, 12% of such monthly salary for each such child until | ||||||
18 | attainment of age 18 or until the child's marriage, | ||||||
19 | whichever occurs first. Beginning July 1, 1993, the | ||||||
20 | monthly pension to the surviving spouse shall be 54% of | ||||||
21 | the monthly salary for all persons receiving a surviving | ||||||
22 | spouse pension under this Article, regardless of whether | ||||||
23 | the deceased firefighter was in service on or after the | ||||||
24 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993. | ||||||
25 | (2) Beginning July 1, 2004, unless the amount provided |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under paragraph (1) of this subsection (a) is greater, the | ||||||
2 | total monthly pension payable under this paragraph (a), | ||||||
3 | including any amount payable on account of children, to | ||||||
4 | the surviving spouse of a firefighter who died (i) while | ||||||
5 | receiving a retirement pension, (ii) while he or she was a | ||||||
6 | deferred pensioner with at least 20 years of creditable | ||||||
7 | service, or (iii) while he or she was in active service | ||||||
8 | having at least 20 years of creditable service, regardless | ||||||
9 | of age, shall be no less than 100% of the monthly | ||||||
10 | retirement pension earned by the deceased firefighter at | ||||||
11 | the time of death, regardless of whether death occurs | ||||||
12 | before or after attainment of age 50, including any | ||||||
13 | increases under Section 4-109.1. This minimum applies to | ||||||
14 | all such surviving spouses who are eligible to receive a | ||||||
15 | surviving spouse pension, regardless of whether the | ||||||
16 | deceased firefighter was in service on or after the | ||||||
17 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General | ||||||
18 | Assembly, and notwithstanding any limitation on maximum | ||||||
19 | pension under paragraph (d) or any other provision of this | ||||||
20 | Article. | ||||||
21 | (3) If the pension paid on and after July 1, 2004 to | ||||||
22 | the surviving spouse of a firefighter who died on or after | ||||||
23 | July 1, 2004 and before the effective date of this | ||||||
24 | amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly was less than | ||||||
25 | the minimum pension payable under paragraph (1) or (2) of | ||||||
26 | this subsection (a), the fund shall pay a lump sum equal to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the difference within 90 days after the effective date of | ||||||
2 | this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly. | ||||||
3 | The pension to the surviving spouse shall terminate in | ||||||
4 | the event of the surviving spouse's remarriage prior to | ||||||
5 | July 1, 1993; remarriage on or after that date does not | ||||||
6 | affect the surviving spouse's pension, regardless of | ||||||
7 | whether the deceased firefighter was in service on or | ||||||
8 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993. | ||||||
9 | The surviving spouse's pension shall be subject to the | ||||||
10 | minimum established in Section 4-109.2. | ||||||
11 | (b) Upon the death of the surviving spouse leaving one | ||||||
12 | or more minor children, or upon the death of a firefighter | ||||||
13 | leaving one or more minor children but no surviving | ||||||
14 | spouse, to the duly appointed guardian of each such child, | ||||||
15 | for support and maintenance of each such child until the | ||||||
16 | child reaches age 18 or marries, whichever occurs first, a | ||||||
17 | monthly pension of 20% of the monthly salary. | ||||||
18 | In a case where the deceased firefighter left one or | ||||||
19 | more minor children but no surviving spouse and the | ||||||
20 | guardian of a child is receiving a pension of 12% of the | ||||||
21 | monthly salary on August 16, 2013 (the effective date of | ||||||
22 | Public Act 98-391), the pension is increased by Public Act | ||||||
23 | 98-391 to 20% of the monthly salary for each such child, | ||||||
24 | beginning on the pension payment date occurring on or next | ||||||
25 | following August 16, 2013. The changes to this Section | ||||||
26 | made by Public Act 98-391 apply without regard to whether |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the deceased firefighter was in service on or after August | ||||||
2 | 16, 2013. | ||||||
3 | (c) If a deceased firefighter leaves no surviving | ||||||
4 | spouse or unmarried minor children under age 18, but | ||||||
5 | leaves a dependent father or mother, to each dependent | ||||||
6 | parent a monthly pension of 18% of the monthly salary. To | ||||||
7 | qualify for the pension, a dependent parent must furnish | ||||||
8 | satisfactory proof that the deceased firefighter was at | ||||||
9 | the time of his or her death the sole supporter of the | ||||||
10 | parent or that the parent was the deceased's dependent for | ||||||
11 | federal income tax purposes. | ||||||
12 | (d) The total pension provided under paragraphs (a), | ||||||
13 | (b) and (c) of this Section shall not exceed 75% of the | ||||||
14 | monthly salary of the deceased firefighter (1) when paid | ||||||
15 | to the survivor of a firefighter who has attained 20 or | ||||||
16 | more years of service credit and who receives or is | ||||||
17 | eligible to receive a retirement pension under this | ||||||
18 | Article, or (2) when paid to the survivor of a firefighter | ||||||
19 | who dies as a result of illness or accident, or (3) when | ||||||
20 | paid to the survivor of a firefighter who dies from any | ||||||
21 | cause while in receipt of a disability pension under this | ||||||
22 | Article, or (4) when paid to the survivor of a deferred | ||||||
23 | pensioner. For all other survivors of deceased | ||||||
24 | firefighters, the total pension provided under paragraphs | ||||||
25 | (a), (b) and (c) of this Section shall not exceed 50% of | ||||||
26 | the retirement annuity the firefighter would have received |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | on the date of death. | ||||||
2 | The maximum pension limitations in this paragraph (d) | ||||||
3 | do not control over any contrary provision of this Article | ||||||
4 | explicitly establishing a minimum amount of pension or | ||||||
5 | granting a one-time or annual increase in pension. | ||||||
6 | (e) If a firefighter leaves no eligible survivors | ||||||
7 | under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), the board shall refund | ||||||
8 | to the firefighter's estate the amount of his or her | ||||||
9 | accumulated contributions, less the amount of pension | ||||||
10 | payments, if any, made to the firefighter while living. | ||||||
11 | (f) (Blank). | ||||||
12 | (g) If a judgment of dissolution of marriage between a | ||||||
13 | firefighter and spouse is judicially set aside subsequent | ||||||
14 | to the firefighter's death, the surviving spouse is | ||||||
15 | eligible for the pension provided in paragraph (a) only if | ||||||
16 | the judicial proceedings are filed within 2 years after | ||||||
17 | the date of the dissolution of marriage and within one | ||||||
18 | year after the firefighter's death and the board is made a | ||||||
19 | party to the proceedings. In such case the pension shall | ||||||
20 | be payable only from the date of the court's order setting | ||||||
21 | aside the judgment of dissolution of marriage. | ||||||
22 | (h) Benefits payable on account of a child under this | ||||||
23 | Section shall not be reduced or terminated by reason of | ||||||
24 | the child's attainment of age 18 if he or she is then | ||||||
25 | dependent by reason of a physical or mental disability but | ||||||
26 | shall continue to be paid as long as such dependency |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | continues. Individuals over the age of 18 and adjudged as | ||||||
2 | a disabled person pursuant to Article XIa of the Probate | ||||||
3 | Act of 1975, except for persons receiving benefits under | ||||||
4 | Article III of the Illinois Public Aid Code, shall be | ||||||
5 | eligible to receive benefits under this Act. | ||||||
6 | (i) Beginning January 1, 2000, the pension of the | ||||||
7 | surviving spouse of a firefighter who dies on or after | ||||||
8 | January 1, 1994 as a result of sickness, accident, or | ||||||
9 | injury incurred in or resulting from the performance of an | ||||||
10 | act of duty or from the cumulative effects of acts of duty | ||||||
11 | shall not be less than 100% of the salary attached to the | ||||||
12 | rank held by the deceased firefighter on the last day of | ||||||
13 | service, notwithstanding subsection (d) or any other | ||||||
14 | provision of this Article. | ||||||
15 | (j) Beginning July 1, 2004, the pension of the | ||||||
16 | surviving spouse of a firefighter who dies on or after | ||||||
17 | January 1, 1988 as a result of sickness, accident, or | ||||||
18 | injury incurred in or resulting from the performance of an | ||||||
19 | act of duty or from the cumulative effects of acts of duty | ||||||
20 | shall not be less than 100% of the salary attached to the | ||||||
21 | rank held by the deceased firefighter on the last day of | ||||||
22 | service, notwithstanding subsection (d) or any other | ||||||
23 | provision of this Article. | ||||||
24 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, if a | ||||||
25 | person who first becomes a firefighter under this Article on | ||||||
26 | or after January 1, 2011 and who is not receiving a disability |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pension under Section 4-110 or 4-110.1 dies (1) as a result of | ||||||
2 | any illness or accident, (2) from any cause while in receipt of | ||||||
3 | a disability pension under this Article, (3) during retirement | ||||||
4 | after 20 years service, (4) while vested for or in receipt of a | ||||||
5 | pension payable under subsection (b) of Section 4-109, or (5) | ||||||
6 | while a deferred pensioner, having made all required | ||||||
7 | contributions, then a pension shall be paid to his or her | ||||||
8 | survivors in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 54% of the | ||||||
9 | firefighter's monthly salary at the date of death, or (ii) 66 | ||||||
10 | 2/3% of the firefighter's earned pension at the date of death, | ||||||
11 | and, if there is a surviving spouse, 12% of such monthly salary | ||||||
12 | shall be granted to the guardian of any minor child or | ||||||
13 | children, including a child who has been conceived but not yet | ||||||
14 | born, for each such child until attainment of age 18. Upon the | ||||||
15 | death of the surviving spouse leaving one or more minor | ||||||
16 | children, or upon the death of a firefighter leaving one or | ||||||
17 | more minor children but no surviving spouse, a monthly pension | ||||||
18 | of 20% of the monthly salary shall be granted to the duly | ||||||
19 | appointed guardian of each such child for the support and | ||||||
20 | maintenance of each such child until the child reaches age 18. | ||||||
21 | The total pension provided under this paragraph shall not | ||||||
22 | exceed 75% of the monthly salary of the deceased firefighter | ||||||
23 | (1) when paid to the survivor of a firefighter who has attained | ||||||
24 | 20 or more years of service credit and who receives or is | ||||||
25 | eligible to receive a retirement pension under this Article, | ||||||
26 | (2) when paid to the survivor of a firefighter who dies as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | result of illness or accident, (3) when paid to the survivor of | ||||||
2 | a firefighter who dies from any cause while in receipt of a | ||||||
3 | disability pension under this Article, or (4) when paid to the | ||||||
4 | survivor of a deferred pensioner. Nothing in this Section | ||||||
5 | shall act to diminish the survivor's benefits described in | ||||||
6 | subsection (j) of this Section. | ||||||
7 | Notwithstanding Section 1-103.1, the changes made to this | ||||||
8 | subsection apply without regard to whether the deceased | ||||||
9 | firefighter was in service on or after the effective date of | ||||||
10 | this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly. | ||||||
11 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | ||||||
12 | monthly pension of a survivor of a person who first becomes a | ||||||
13 | firefighter under this Article on or after January 1, 2011 | ||||||
14 | shall be increased on the January 1 after attainment of age 60 | ||||||
15 | by the recipient of the survivor's pension and each January 1 | ||||||
16 | thereafter by 3% or one-half the annual unadjusted percentage | ||||||
17 | increase in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months | ||||||
18 | ending with the September preceding each November 1, whichever | ||||||
19 | is less, of the originally granted survivor's pension ; except | ||||||
20 | that, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
21 | of the 103rd General Assembly, eligibility for and the amount | ||||||
22 | of the automatic increase in the monthly pension of such a | ||||||
23 | survivor shall be calculated as otherwise provided in this | ||||||
24 | Section . If the annual unadjusted percentage change in the | ||||||
25 | consumer price index-u for a 12-month period ending in | ||||||
26 | September is zero or, when compared with the preceding period, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | decreases, then the survivor's pension shall not be increased. | ||||||
2 | For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u" | ||||||
3 | means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of | ||||||
4 | the United States Department of Labor that measures the | ||||||
5 | average change in prices of goods and services purchased by | ||||||
6 | all urban consumers, United States city average, all items, | ||||||
7 | 1982-84 = 100. The new amount resulting from each annual | ||||||
8 | adjustment shall be determined by the Public Pension Division | ||||||
9 | of the Department of Insurance and made available to the | ||||||
10 | boards of the pension funds. | ||||||

13 | Sec. 4-118. Financing. | ||||||
14 | (a) The city council or the board of trustees of the | ||||||
15 | municipality shall annually levy a tax upon all the taxable | ||||||
16 | property of the municipality at the rate on the dollar which | ||||||
17 | will produce an amount which, when added to the deductions | ||||||
18 | from the salaries or wages of firefighters and revenues | ||||||
19 | available from other sources, will equal a sum sufficient to | ||||||
20 | meet the annual actuarial requirements of the pension fund, as | ||||||
21 | determined by an enrolled actuary employed by the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Department of Insurance or by an enrolled actuary retained by | ||||||
23 | the pension fund or municipality. For the purposes of this | ||||||
24 | Section, the annual actuarial requirements of the pension fund | ||||||
25 | are equal to (1) the normal cost of the pension fund, or 17.5% |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the salaries and wages to be paid to firefighters for the | ||||||
2 | year involved, whichever is greater, plus (2) an annual amount | ||||||
3 | sufficient to bring the total assets of the pension fund up to | ||||||
4 | 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the pension fund by | ||||||
5 | the end of municipal fiscal year 2040, as annually updated and | ||||||
6 | determined by an enrolled actuary employed by the Illinois | ||||||
7 | Department of Insurance or by an enrolled actuary retained by | ||||||
8 | the pension fund or the municipality , minus (3) any | ||||||
9 | anticipated State contributions from the Local Government | ||||||
10 | Retirement Fund for the year involved . In making these | ||||||
11 | determinations, the required minimum employer contribution | ||||||
12 | shall be calculated each year as a level percentage of payroll | ||||||
13 | over the years remaining up to and including fiscal year 2040 | ||||||
14 | and shall be determined under the projected unit credit | ||||||
15 | actuarial cost method. The amount to be applied towards the | ||||||
16 | amortization of the unfunded accrued liability in any year | ||||||
17 | shall not be less than the annual amount required to amortize | ||||||
18 | the unfunded accrued liability, including interest, as a level | ||||||
19 | percentage of payroll over the number of years remaining in | ||||||
20 | the 40-year amortization period. | ||||||
21 | (a-1) Beginning in State fiscal year 2025, the city | ||||||
22 | council or the board of trustees of the municipality shall | ||||||
23 | certify to the Governor the amount of (1) the normal cost of | ||||||
24 | the pension fund, or 17.5% of the salaries and wages to be paid | ||||||
25 | to firefighters for the year involved, whichever is greater, | ||||||
26 | plus (2) an annual amount sufficient to bring the total assets |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the pension fund up to 90% of the total actuarial | ||||||
2 | liabilities of the pension fund by the end of municipal fiscal | ||||||
3 | year 2040, as annually updated and determined by an enrolled | ||||||
4 | actuary employed by the Department of Insurance or by an | ||||||
5 | enrolled actuary retained by the pension fund or the | ||||||
6 | municipality. | ||||||
7 | (a-2) A municipality that has established a pension fund | ||||||
8 | under this Article and that employs a full-time firefighter, | ||||||
9 | as defined in Section 4-106, shall be deemed a primary | ||||||
10 | employer with respect to that full-time firefighter. Any | ||||||
11 | municipality of 5,000 or more inhabitants that employs or | ||||||
12 | enrolls a firefighter while that firefighter continues to earn | ||||||
13 | service credit as a participant in a primary employer's | ||||||
14 | pension fund under this Article shall be deemed a secondary | ||||||
15 | employer and such employees shall be deemed to be secondary | ||||||
16 | employee firefighters. To ensure that the primary employer's | ||||||
17 | pension fund under this Article is aware of additional | ||||||
18 | liabilities and risks to which firefighters are exposed when | ||||||
19 | performing work as firefighters for secondary employers, a | ||||||
20 | secondary employer shall annually prepare a report accounting | ||||||
21 | for all hours worked by and wages and salaries paid to the | ||||||
22 | secondary employee firefighters it receives services from or | ||||||
23 | employs for each fiscal year in which such firefighters are | ||||||
24 | employed and transmit a certified copy of that report to the | ||||||
25 | primary employer's pension fund, the Department of Insurance, | ||||||
26 | and the secondary employee firefighter no later than 30 days |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | after the end of any fiscal year in which wages were paid to | ||||||
2 | the secondary employee firefighters. | ||||||
3 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to allow a | ||||||
4 | secondary employee to qualify for benefits or creditable | ||||||
5 | service for employment as a firefighter for a secondary | ||||||
6 | employer. | ||||||
7 | (a-5) For purposes of determining the required employer | ||||||
8 | contribution to a pension fund, the value of the pension | ||||||
9 | fund's assets shall be equal to the actuarial value of the | ||||||
10 | pension fund's assets, which shall be calculated as follows: | ||||||
11 | (1) On March 30, 2011, the actuarial value of a | ||||||
12 | pension fund's assets shall be equal to the market value | ||||||
13 | of the assets as of that date. | ||||||
14 | (2) In determining the actuarial value of the pension | ||||||
15 | fund's assets for fiscal years after March 30, 2011, any | ||||||
16 | actuarial gains or losses from investment return incurred | ||||||
17 | in a fiscal year shall be recognized in equal annual | ||||||
18 | amounts over the 5-year period following that fiscal year. | ||||||
19 | (b) The tax shall be levied and collected in the same | ||||||
20 | manner as the general taxes of the municipality, and shall be | ||||||
21 | in addition to all other taxes now or hereafter authorized to | ||||||
22 | be levied upon all property within the municipality, and in | ||||||
23 | addition to the amount authorized to be levied for general | ||||||
24 | purposes, under Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code | ||||||
25 | or under Section 14 of the Fire Protection District Act. The | ||||||
26 | tax shall be forwarded directly to the treasurer of the board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | within 30 business days of receipt by the county (or, in the | ||||||
2 | case of amounts added to the tax levy under subsection (f), | ||||||
3 | used by the municipality to pay the employer contributions | ||||||
4 | required under subsection (b-1) of Section 15-155 of this | ||||||
5 | Code). | ||||||
6 | (b-5) If a participating municipality fails to transmit to | ||||||
7 | the fund contributions required of it under this Article for | ||||||
8 | more than 90 days after the payment of those contributions is | ||||||
9 | due, the fund may, after giving notice to the municipality, | ||||||
10 | certify to the State Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent | ||||||
11 | payments in accordance with any applicable rules of the | ||||||
12 | Comptroller, and the Comptroller must, beginning in fiscal | ||||||
13 | year 2016, deduct and remit to the fund the certified amounts | ||||||
14 | or a portion of those amounts from the following proportions | ||||||
15 | of payments of State funds to the municipality: | ||||||
16 | (1) in fiscal year 2016, one-third of the total amount | ||||||
17 | of any payments of State funds to the municipality; | ||||||
18 | (2) in fiscal year 2017, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
19 | amount of any payments of State funds to the municipality; | ||||||
20 | and | ||||||
21 | (3) in fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year | ||||||
22 | thereafter, the total amount of any payments of State | ||||||
23 | funds to the municipality. | ||||||
24 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any payments of | ||||||
25 | State funds to the municipality more than the amount of | ||||||
26 | delinquent payments certified to the State Comptroller by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fund. | ||||||
2 | (c) The board shall make available to the membership and | ||||||
3 | the general public for inspection and copying at reasonable | ||||||
4 | times the most recent Actuarial Valuation Balance Sheet and | ||||||
5 | Tax Levy Requirement issued to the fund by the Department of | ||||||
6 | Insurance. | ||||||
7 | (d) The firefighters' pension fund shall consist of the | ||||||
8 | following moneys which shall be set apart by the treasurer of | ||||||
9 | the municipality: (1) all moneys derived from the taxes levied | ||||||
10 | hereunder; (2) contributions by firefighters as provided under | ||||||
11 | Section 4-118.1; (2.5) all moneys received from the | ||||||
12 | Firefighters' Pension Investment Fund as provided in Article | ||||||
13 | 22C of this Code; (3) all rewards in money, fees, gifts, and | ||||||
14 | emoluments that may be paid or given for or on account of | ||||||
15 | extraordinary service by the fire department or any member | ||||||
16 | thereof, except when allowed to be retained by competitive | ||||||
17 | awards; and (4) any money, real estate or personal property | ||||||
18 | received by the board. | ||||||
19 | (e) For the purposes of this Section, "enrolled actuary" | ||||||
20 | means an actuary: (1) who is a member of the Society of | ||||||
21 | Actuaries or the American Academy of Actuaries; and (2) who is | ||||||
22 | enrolled under Subtitle C of Title III of the Employee | ||||||
23 | Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or who has been | ||||||
24 | engaged in providing actuarial services to one or more public | ||||||
25 | retirement systems for a period of at least 3 years as of July | ||||||
26 | 1, 1983. |
| |||||||

1 | (f) The corporate authorities of a municipality that | ||||||
2 | employs a person who is described in subdivision (d) of | ||||||
3 | Section 4-106 may add to the tax levy otherwise provided for in | ||||||
4 | this Section an amount equal to the projected cost of the | ||||||
5 | employer contributions required to be paid by the municipality | ||||||
6 | to the State Universities Retirement System under subsection | ||||||
7 | (b-1) of Section 15-155 of this Code. | ||||||
8 | (g) The Commission on Government Forecasting and | ||||||
9 | Accountability shall conduct a study of all funds established | ||||||
10 | under this Article and shall report its findings to the | ||||||
11 | General Assembly on or before January 1, 2013. To the fullest | ||||||
12 | extent possible, the study shall include, but not be limited | ||||||
13 | to, the following: | ||||||
14 | (1) fund balances; | ||||||
15 | (2) historical employer contribution rates for each | ||||||
16 | fund; | ||||||

6 | who first became firefighters on or after January 1, 2011 the | ||||||
7 | same level of benefits and eligibility criteria for benefits | ||||||
8 | as those who first became firefighters before January 1, 2011. | ||||||
9 | The changes made to this Article by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||

12 | was in service on or after the effective date of this | ||||||
13 | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, notwithstanding | ||||||
14 | the provisions of Section 1-103.1. The benefit increases are | ||||||
15 | intended to apply prospectively and do not entitle a | ||||||
16 | firefighter to retroactive benefit payments or increases. The | ||||||
17 | changes made to this Article by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||

22 | than age 63 who becomes disabled after the effective date as | ||||||
23 | the result of any cause other than injury incurred in the | ||||||
24 | performance of an act of duty, shall receive ordinary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | disability benefit during any period or periods of disability | ||||||
2 | exceeding 30 days, for which he does not have a right to | ||||||
3 | receive any part of his salary. Payment of such benefit shall | ||||||
4 | not exceed, in the aggregate, throughout the total service of | ||||||
5 | the policeman, a period equal to one-fourth of the service | ||||||
6 | rendered to the city prior to the time he became disabled, nor | ||||||
7 | more than 5 years. In computing such period of service, the | ||||||
8 | time that the policeman received ordinary disability benefit | ||||||
9 | shall not be included. | ||||||
10 | When a disabled policeman becomes age 63 or would have | ||||||

20 | from the policeman's salary for all annuity purposes for the | ||||||
21 | period for which payment of ordinary disability benefit is | ||||||
22 | made shall be deducted from such payment and credited as a | ||||||
23 | deduction from salary for such period. Beginning September 1, | ||||||
24 | 1969, the city shall also contribute all amounts ordinarily | ||||||
25 | contributed by it for annuity purposes for the policeman as if | ||||||
26 | he were in active discharge of his duties. Such sums so |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credited shall be regarded, for annuity and refund purposes, | ||||||

4 | deductions otherwise made for annuity purposes. | ||||||
5 | The city, in addition to the contributions otherwise made | ||||||

9 | Each such 1/2 of 1% deduction from salary and each such | ||||||
10 | contribution by the city of 1/2 of 1% of salary shall be | ||||||
11 | credited to the Automatic Increase Reserve, to be used to | ||||||
12 | defray the cost of the annuity increase provided by this | ||||||
13 | Section. Any balance in such reserve as of the beginning of | ||||||
14 | each calendar year shall be credited with interest at the rate | ||||||
15 | of 3% per annum. | ||||||
16 | Such deductions from salary and city contributions shall | ||||||
17 | continue while the policeman is in service. | ||||||
18 | The salary deductions provided in this Section are not | ||||||
19 | subject to refund, except to the policeman himself, in any | ||||||

15 | increase (but not less than zero) in the consumer price | ||||||
16 | index-u for the 12 months ending with the September preceding | ||||||
17 | each November 1, whichever is less, of the originally granted | ||||||
18 | retirement annuity. If the annual unadjusted percentage change | ||||||
19 | in the consumer price index-u for a 12-month period ending in | ||||||
20 | September is zero or, when compared with the preceding period, | ||||||
21 | decreases, then the annuity shall not be increased. | ||||||

17 | 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund by the end | ||||||
18 | of fiscal year 2055, as annually updated and determined by an | ||||||
19 | enrolled actuary employed by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
20 | Insurance or by an enrolled actuary retained by the Fund. | ||||||
21 | Beginning in tax levy year 2025, the city council shall levy a | ||||||

12 | (1) On March 30, 2011, the actuarial value of the | ||||||
13 | Fund's assets shall be equal to the market value of the | ||||||
14 | assets as of that date. | ||||||
15 | (2) In determining the actuarial value of the Fund's | ||||||
16 | assets for fiscal years after March 30, 2011, any | ||||||
17 | actuarial gains or losses from investment return incurred | ||||||
18 | in a fiscal year shall be recognized in equal annual | ||||||
19 | amounts over the 5-year period following that fiscal year. | ||||||
20 | (a-7) If the city fails to transmit to the Fund | ||||||
21 | contributions required of it under this Article for more than | ||||||
22 | 90 days after the payment of those contributions is due, the | ||||||
23 | Fund shall, after giving notice to the city, certify to the | ||||||
24 | State Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent payments, and | ||||||
25 | the Comptroller must, beginning in fiscal year 2016, deduct | ||||||
26 | and deposit into the Fund the certified amounts or a portion of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | those amounts from the following proportions of grants of | ||||||
2 | State funds to the city: | ||||||
3 | (1) in fiscal year 2016, one-third of the total amount | ||||||
4 | of any grants of State funds to the city; | ||||||
5 | (2) in fiscal year 2017, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
6 | amount of any grants of State funds to the city; and | ||||||
7 | (3) in fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year | ||||||
8 | thereafter, the total amount of any grants of State funds | ||||||
9 | to the city. | ||||||
10 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any grants of | ||||||
11 | State funds to the city more than the amount of delinquent | ||||||
12 | payments certified to the State Comptroller by the Fund. | ||||||
13 | (b) The tax shall be levied and collected in like manner | ||||||
14 | with the general taxes of the city, and is in addition to all | ||||||
15 | other taxes which the city is now or may hereafter be | ||||||
16 | authorized to levy upon all taxable property therein, and is | ||||||
17 | exclusive of and in addition to the amount of tax the city is | ||||||
18 | now or may hereafter be authorized to levy for general | ||||||
19 | purposes under any law which may limit the amount of tax which | ||||||
20 | the city may levy for general purposes. The county clerk of the | ||||||
21 | county in which the city is located, in reducing tax levies | ||||||
22 | under Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, shall not | ||||||
23 | consider the tax herein authorized as a part of the general tax | ||||||
24 | levy for city purposes, and shall not include the tax in any | ||||||
25 | limitation of the percent of the assessed valuation upon which | ||||||
26 | taxes are required to be extended for the city. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) On or before January 10 of each year, the board shall | ||||||
2 | notify the city council of the requirement that the tax herein | ||||||
3 | authorized be levied by the city council for that current | ||||||
4 | year. The board shall compute the amounts necessary for the | ||||||
5 | purposes of this fund to be credited to the reserves | ||||||
6 | established and maintained within the fund; shall make an | ||||||
7 | annual determination of the amount of the required city | ||||||
8 | contributions; and shall certify the results thereof to the | ||||||
9 | city council. | ||||||
10 | As soon as any revenue derived from the tax is collected it | ||||||
11 | shall be paid to the city treasurer of the city and shall be | ||||||
12 | held by him for the benefit of the fund in accordance with this | ||||||
13 | Article. | ||||||
14 | (d) If the funds available are insufficient during any | ||||||
15 | year to meet the requirements of this Article, the city may | ||||||
16 | issue tax anticipation warrants against the tax levy for the | ||||||
17 | current fiscal year. | ||||||
18 | (e) The various sums, including interest, to be | ||||||
19 | contributed by the city, shall be taken from the revenue | ||||||
20 | derived from such tax or otherwise as expressly provided in | ||||||
21 | this Section. Any moneys of the city derived from any source | ||||||
22 | other than the tax herein authorized shall not be used for any | ||||||
23 | purpose of the fund nor the cost of administration thereof, | ||||||
24 | unless applied to make the deposit expressly authorized in | ||||||
25 | this Section or the additional city contributions required | ||||||
26 | under subsection (h). |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) If it is not possible or practicable for the city to | ||||||
2 | make its contributions at the time that salary deductions are | ||||||
3 | made, the city shall make such contributions as soon as | ||||||
4 | possible thereafter, with interest thereon to the time it is | ||||||
5 | made. | ||||||
6 | (g) In lieu of levying all or a portion of the tax required | ||||||
7 | under this Section in any year, the city may deposit with the | ||||||
8 | city treasurer no later than March 1 of that year for the | ||||||
9 | benefit of the fund, to be held in accordance with this | ||||||
10 | Article, an amount that, together with the taxes levied under | ||||||
11 | this Section for that year, is not less than the amount of the | ||||||
12 | city contributions for that year as certified by the board to | ||||||
13 | the city council. The deposit may be derived from any source | ||||||
14 | legally available for that purpose, including, but not limited | ||||||
15 | to, the proceeds of city borrowings and State contributions . | ||||||
16 | The making of a deposit shall satisfy fully the requirements | ||||||
17 | of this Section for that year to the extent of the amounts so | ||||||
18 | deposited. Amounts deposited under this subsection may be used | ||||||
19 | by the fund for any of the purposes for which the proceeds of | ||||||
20 | the tax levied under this Section may be used, including the | ||||||
21 | payment of any amount that is otherwise required by this | ||||||
22 | Article to be paid from the proceeds of that tax. | ||||||
23 | (h) In addition to the contributions required under the | ||||||
24 | other provisions of this Article, by November 1 of the | ||||||
25 | following specified years, the city shall deposit with the | ||||||
26 | city treasurer for the benefit of the fund, to be held and used |
| |||||||

3 | 2001; $5,040,000 in 2002; and $4,620,000 in 2003. | ||||||
4 | The additional city contributions required under this | ||||||
5 | subsection are intended to decrease the unfunded liability of | ||||||
6 | the fund and shall not decrease the amount of the city | ||||||
7 | contributions required under the other provisions of this | ||||||
8 | Article. The additional city contributions made under this | ||||||
9 | subsection may be used by the fund for any of its lawful | ||||||
10 | purposes. | ||||||

23 | the contributions by the firemen for this purpose, the city | ||||||
24 | council shall for the year 1962 and each year thereafter | ||||||
25 | annually levy a tax, which shall be in addition to and | ||||||
26 | exclusive of the taxes authorized to be levied under the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | foregoing provisions of this Section, upon all taxable | ||||||
2 | property in the city, as equalized or assessed by the | ||||||
3 | Department of Revenue, at such rate per cent of the value of | ||||||
4 | such property as shall be sufficient to produce for each year | ||||||
5 | the sum of $142,000. | ||||||
6 | The amounts produced by the taxes levied annually, | ||||||
7 | together with the deposit expressly authorized in this Section | ||||||
8 | and any State contributions , shall be sufficient, when added | ||||||
9 | to the amounts deducted from the salaries of firemen and | ||||||
10 | applied to the fund, to provide for the purposes of the fund. | ||||||
11 | (a-1) Beginning in State fiscal year 2025, the city | ||||||
12 | council shall annually certify to the Governor the amount of | ||||||
13 | (1) the normal cost to the Fund, plus (2) an annual amount | ||||||
14 | sufficient to bring the total assets of the Fund up to 90% of | ||||||
15 | the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund by the end of | ||||||
16 | fiscal year 2055, as annually updated and determined by an | ||||||
17 | enrolled actuary employed by the Department of Insurance or by | ||||||
18 | an enrolled actuary retained by the Fund. | ||||||
19 | (a-5) For purposes of determining the required employer | ||||||
20 | contribution to the Fund, the value of the Fund's assets shall | ||||||
21 | be equal to the actuarial value of the Fund's assets, which | ||||||
22 | shall be calculated as follows: | ||||||
23 | (1) On March 30, 2011, the actuarial value of the | ||||||
24 | Fund's assets shall be equal to the market value of the | ||||||
25 | assets as of that date. | ||||||
26 | (2) In determining the actuarial value of the Fund's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assets for fiscal years after March 30, 2011, any | ||||||
2 | actuarial gains or losses from investment return incurred | ||||||
3 | in a fiscal year shall be recognized in equal annual | ||||||
4 | amounts over the 5-year period following that fiscal year. | ||||||
5 | (a-7) If the city fails to transmit to the Fund | ||||||
6 | contributions required of it under this Article for more than | ||||||
7 | 90 days after the payment of those contributions is due, the | ||||||
8 | Fund shall, after giving notice to the city, certify to the | ||||||
9 | State Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent payments, and | ||||||
10 | the Comptroller must, beginning in fiscal year 2016, deduct | ||||||
11 | and deposit into the Fund the certified amounts or a portion of | ||||||
12 | those amounts from the following proportions of grants of | ||||||
13 | State funds to the city: | ||||||
14 | (1) in fiscal year 2016, one-third of the total amount | ||||||
15 | of any grants of State funds to the city; | ||||||
16 | (2) in fiscal year 2017, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
17 | amount of any grants of State funds to the city; and | ||||||
18 | (3) in fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year | ||||||
19 | thereafter, the total amount of any grants of State funds | ||||||
20 | to the city. | ||||||
21 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any grants of | ||||||
22 | State funds to the city more than the amount of delinquent | ||||||
23 | payments certified to the State Comptroller by the Fund. | ||||||
24 | (b) The taxes shall be levied and collected in like manner | ||||||
25 | with the general taxes of the city, and shall be in addition to | ||||||
26 | all other taxes which the city may levy upon all taxable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property therein and shall be exclusive of and in addition to | ||||||
2 | the amount of tax the city may levy for general purposes under | ||||||
3 | Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, approved May 29, | ||||||
4 | 1961, as amended, or under any other law or laws which may | ||||||
5 | limit the amount of tax which the city may levy for general | ||||||
6 | purposes. | ||||||
7 | (c) The amounts of the taxes to be levied in each year | ||||||
8 | shall be certified to the city council by the board. | ||||||
9 | (d) As soon as any revenue derived from such taxes is | ||||||
10 | collected, it shall be paid to the city treasurer and held for | ||||||
11 | the benefit of the fund, and all such revenue shall be paid | ||||||
12 | into the fund in accordance with the provisions of this | ||||||
13 | Article. | ||||||
14 | (e) If the funds available are insufficient during any | ||||||
15 | year to meet the requirements of this Article, the city may | ||||||
16 | issue tax anticipation warrants, against the tax levies herein | ||||||
17 | authorized for the current fiscal year. | ||||||
18 | (f) The various sums, hereinafter stated, including | ||||||
19 | interest, to be contributed by the city, shall be taken from | ||||||
20 | the revenue derived from the taxes or otherwise as expressly | ||||||
21 | provided in this Section. Except for defraying the cost of | ||||||
22 | administration of the fund during the calendar year in which a | ||||||
23 | city first attains a population of 500,000 and comes under the | ||||||
24 | provisions of this Article and the first calendar year | ||||||
25 | thereafter, any money of the city derived from any source | ||||||
26 | other than these taxes or the sale of tax anticipation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | warrants shall not be used to provide revenue for the fund, nor | ||||||
2 | to pay any part of the cost of administration thereof, unless | ||||||
3 | applied to make the deposit expressly authorized in this | ||||||
4 | Section or the additional city contributions required under | ||||||
5 | subsection (h). | ||||||
6 | (g) In lieu of levying all or a portion of the tax required | ||||||
7 | under this Section in any year, the city may deposit with the | ||||||
8 | city treasurer no later than March 1 of that year for the | ||||||
9 | benefit of the fund, to be held in accordance with this | ||||||
10 | Article, an amount that, together with the taxes levied under | ||||||
11 | this Section for that year, is not less than the amount of the | ||||||
12 | city contributions for that year as certified by the board to | ||||||
13 | the city council. The deposit may be derived from any source | ||||||
14 | legally available for that purpose, including, but not limited | ||||||
15 | to, the proceeds of city borrowings and State contributions . | ||||||
16 | The making of a deposit shall satisfy fully the requirements | ||||||
17 | of this Section for that year to the extent of the amounts so | ||||||
18 | deposited. Amounts deposited under this subsection may be used | ||||||
19 | by the fund for any of the purposes for which the proceeds of | ||||||
20 | the taxes levied under this Section may be used, including the | ||||||
21 | payment of any amount that is otherwise required by this | ||||||
22 | Article to be paid from the proceeds of those taxes. | ||||||
23 | (h) In addition to the contributions required under the | ||||||
24 | other provisions of this Article, by November 1 of the | ||||||
25 | following specified years, the city shall deposit with the | ||||||
26 | city treasurer for the benefit of the fund, to be held and used |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in accordance with this Article, the following specified | ||||||
2 | amounts: $6,300,000 in 1999; $5,880,000 in 2000; $5,460,000 in | ||||||
3 | 2001; $5,040,000 in 2002; and $4,620,000 in 2003. | ||||||
4 | The additional city contributions required under this | ||||||
5 | subsection are intended to decrease the unfunded liability of | ||||||
6 | the fund and shall not decrease the amount of the city | ||||||
7 | contributions required under the other provisions of this | ||||||
8 | Article. The additional city contributions made under this | ||||||
9 | subsection may be used by the fund for any of its lawful | ||||||
10 | purposes. | ||||||
11 | (i) Any proceeds received by the city in relation to the | ||||||
12 | operation of a casino or casinos within the city shall be | ||||||
13 | expended by the city for payment to the Firemen's Annuity and | ||||||
14 | Benefit Fund of Chicago to satisfy the city contribution | ||||||
15 | obligation in any year. | ||||||

13 | any retroactive adjustment of any employee contributions. | ||||||
14 | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
15 | the provisions of this subsection (f) apply to a person who | ||||||
16 | first becomes a sheriff's law enforcement employee under this | ||||||
17 | Article on or after January 1, 2011. | ||||||
18 | A sheriff's law enforcement employee age 55 or more who | ||||||
19 | has 10 or more years of service in that capacity shall be | ||||||
20 | entitled at his option to receive a monthly retirement annuity | ||||||
21 | for his or her service as a sheriff's law enforcement employee | ||||||
22 | computed by multiplying 2.5% for each year of such service by | ||||||
23 | his or her final rate of earnings. | ||||||
24 | The retirement annuity of a sheriff's law enforcement | ||||||
25 | employee who is retiring after attaining age 50 with 10 or more | ||||||
26 | years of creditable service shall be reduced by one-half of 1% |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for each month that the sheriff's law enforcement employee's | ||||||
2 | age is under age 55. | ||||||
3 | The maximum retirement annuity under this subsection (f) | ||||||
4 | shall be 75% of final rate of earnings. | ||||||
5 | For the purposes of this subsection (f), "final rate of | ||||||
6 | earnings" means the average monthly earnings obtained by | ||||||
7 | dividing the total salary of the sheriff's law enforcement | ||||||
8 | employee during the 96 consecutive months of service within | ||||||
9 | the last 120 months of service in which the total earnings was | ||||||
10 | the highest by the number of months of service in that period. | ||||||
11 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
12 | beginning on January 1, 2011, for all purposes under this Code | ||||||
13 | (including without limitation the calculation of benefits and | ||||||
14 | employee contributions), the annual earnings of a sheriff's | ||||||
15 | law enforcement employee to whom this Section applies shall | ||||||
16 | not include overtime and shall not exceed $106,800; however, | ||||||
17 | that amount shall annually thereafter be increased by the | ||||||
18 | lesser of (i) 3% of that amount, including all previous | ||||||
19 | adjustments, or (ii) one-half the annual unadjusted percentage | ||||||
20 | increase (but not less than zero) in the consumer price | ||||||
21 | index-u for the 12 months ending with the September preceding | ||||||
22 | each November 1, including all previous adjustments. | ||||||
23 | (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
24 | the monthly annuity of a person who first becomes a sheriff's | ||||||
25 | law enforcement employee under this Article on or after | ||||||
26 | January 1, 2011 shall be increased on the January 1 occurring |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | either on or after the attainment of age 60 or the first | ||||||
2 | anniversary of the annuity start date, whichever is later. | ||||||
3 | Each annual increase shall be calculated at 3% or one-half the | ||||||
4 | annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) | ||||||
5 | in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
6 | September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the | ||||||
7 | originally granted retirement annuity. If the annual | ||||||
8 | unadjusted percentage change in the consumer price index-u for | ||||||
9 | a 12-month period ending in September is zero or, when | ||||||
10 | compared with the preceding period, decreases, then the | ||||||
11 | annuity shall not be increased. | ||||||
12 | (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
13 | for a person who first becomes a sheriff's law enforcement | ||||||
14 | employee under this Article on or after January 1, 2011, the | ||||||
15 | annuity to which the surviving spouse, children, or parents | ||||||
16 | are entitled under this subsection (h) shall be in the amount | ||||||
17 | of 66 2/3% of the sheriff's law enforcement employee's earned | ||||||
18 | annuity at the date of death. | ||||||
19 | (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
20 | the monthly annuity of a survivor of a person who first becomes | ||||||
21 | a sheriff's law enforcement employee under this Article on or | ||||||
22 | after January 1, 2011 shall be increased on the January 1 after | ||||||
23 | attainment of age 60 by the recipient of the survivor's | ||||||
24 | annuity and each January 1 thereafter by 3% or one-half the | ||||||
25 | annual unadjusted percentage increase in the consumer price | ||||||
26 | index-u for the 12 months ending with the September preceding |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | each November 1, whichever is less, of the originally granted | ||||||
2 | pension. If the annual unadjusted percentage change in the | ||||||
3 | consumer price index-u for a 12-month period ending in | ||||||
4 | September is zero or, when compared with the preceding period, | ||||||
5 | decreases, then the annuity shall not be increased. | ||||||
6 | (j) For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price | ||||||
7 | index-u" means the index published by the Bureau of Labor | ||||||
8 | Statistics of the United States Department of Labor that | ||||||
9 | measures the average change in prices of goods and services | ||||||
10 | purchased by all urban consumers, United States city average, | ||||||
11 | all items, 1982-84 = 100. The new amount resulting from each | ||||||
12 | annual adjustment shall be determined by the Public Pension | ||||||
13 | Division of the Department of Insurance and made available to | ||||||
14 | the boards of the pension funds. | ||||||

14 | Retirement Fund to the municipality for that year . | ||||||
15 | (2) A school district may levy a tax in an amount | ||||||
16 | reasonably calculated at the time of the levy to provide | ||||||
17 | for the municipality contributions required under Section | ||||||
18 | 7-172 of this Article for the fiscal years for which | ||||||
19 | revenues from the levy will be received and all amounts | ||||||
20 | due for municipal contributions for previous years. Any | ||||||
21 | levy adopted before the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
22 | Act of 1995 by a school district shall be considered valid | ||||||
23 | and authorized to the extent that the amount was | ||||||
24 | reasonably calculated at the time of the levy to provide | ||||||
25 | for the municipality contributions required under Section | ||||||
26 | 7-172 for the fiscal years for which revenues from the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | levy will be received and all amounts due for municipal | ||||||
2 | contributions for previous years. In no event shall a | ||||||
3 | budget adopted by a school district limit a levy of that | ||||||
4 | school district adopted under this Section. | ||||||
5 | (c) Any county which is served by a regional office of | ||||||
6 | education that serves 2 or more counties may include in its | ||||||
7 | appropriation an amount sufficient to provide its | ||||||
8 | proportionate share of the municipality contributions for that | ||||||
9 | regional office of education. The tax levy authorized by this | ||||||
10 | Section may include an amount necessary to provide monies for | ||||||
11 | this contribution. | ||||||
12 | (d) Any county that is a part of a multiple-county health | ||||||
13 | department or consolidated health department which is formed | ||||||
14 | under "An Act in relation to the establishment and maintenance | ||||||
15 | of county and multiple-county public health departments", | ||||||
16 | approved July 9, 1943, as amended, and which is a | ||||||
17 | participating instrumentality may include in the county's | ||||||
18 | appropriation an amount sufficient to provide its | ||||||
19 | proportionate share of municipality contributions of the | ||||||
20 | department. The tax levy authorized by this Section may | ||||||
21 | include the amount necessary to provide monies for this | ||||||
22 | contribution. | ||||||
23 | (d-5) A school district participating in a special | ||||||
24 | education joint agreement created under Section 10-22.31 of | ||||||
25 | the School Code that is a participating instrumentality may | ||||||
26 | include in the school district's tax levy under this Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | an amount sufficient to provide its proportionate share of the | ||||||
2 | municipality contributions for current and prior service by | ||||||
3 | employees of the participating instrumentality created under | ||||||
4 | the joint agreement. | ||||||
5 | (e) Such tax shall be levied and collected in like manner, | ||||||
6 | with the general taxes of the municipality and shall be in | ||||||
7 | addition to all other taxes which the municipality is now or | ||||||
8 | may hereafter be authorized to levy upon all taxable property | ||||||
9 | therein, and shall be exclusive of and in addition to the | ||||||
10 | amount of tax levied for general purposes under Section 8-3-1 | ||||||
11 | of the "Illinois Municipal Code", approved May 29, 1961, as | ||||||
12 | amended, or under any other law or laws which may limit the | ||||||
13 | amount of tax which the municipality may levy for general | ||||||
14 | purposes. The tax may be levied by the governing body of the | ||||||
15 | municipality without being authorized as being additional to | ||||||
16 | all other taxes by a vote of the people of the municipality. | ||||||
17 | (f) The county clerk of the county in which any such | ||||||
18 | municipality is located, in reducing tax levies shall not | ||||||
19 | consider any such tax as a part of the general tax levy for | ||||||
20 | municipality purposes, and shall not include the same in the | ||||||
21 | limitation of any other tax rate which may be extended. | ||||||
22 | (g) The amount of the tax to be levied in any year shall, | ||||||
23 | within the limits herein prescribed, be determined by the | ||||||
24 | governing body of the respective municipality. | ||||||
25 | (h) The revenue derived from any such tax levy shall be | ||||||
26 | used only for the contributions required under Section 7-172 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and, as collected, shall be paid to the treasurer of the | ||||||
2 | municipality levying the tax. Monies received by a county | ||||||
3 | treasurer for use in making contributions to a regional office | ||||||
4 | of education for its municipality contributions shall be held | ||||||
5 | by him for that purpose and paid to the regional office of | ||||||
6 | education in the same manner as other monies appropriated for | ||||||
7 | the expense of the regional office. | ||||||

10 | Sec. 7-172. Contributions by participating municipalities | ||||||
11 | and participating instrumentalities. | ||||||
12 | (a) Each participating municipality and each participating | ||||||
13 | instrumentality shall make payment to the fund as follows: | ||||||
14 | 1. municipality contributions in an amount determined | ||||||
15 | by applying the municipality contribution rate to each | ||||||
16 | payment of earnings paid to each of its participating | ||||||
17 | employees; | ||||||
18 | 2. an amount equal to the employee contributions | ||||||
19 | provided by paragraph (a) of Section 7-173, whether or not | ||||||
20 | the employee contributions are withheld as permitted by | ||||||
21 | that Section; | ||||||
22 | 3. all accounts receivable, together with interest | ||||||
23 | charged thereon, as provided in Section 7-209, and any | ||||||
24 | amounts due under subsection (a-5) of Section 7-144; | ||||||
25 | 4. if it has no participating employees with current |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | earnings, an amount payable which, over a closed period of | ||||||
2 | 20 years for participating municipalities and 10 years for | ||||||
3 | participating instrumentalities, will amortize, at the | ||||||
4 | effective rate for that year, any unfunded obligation. The | ||||||
5 | unfunded obligation shall be computed as provided in | ||||||
6 | paragraph 2 of subsection (b); | ||||||
7 | 5. if it has fewer than 7 participating employees or a | ||||||
8 | negative balance in its municipality reserve, the greater | ||||||
9 | of (A) an amount payable that, over a period of 20 years, | ||||||
10 | will amortize at the effective rate for that year any | ||||||
11 | unfunded obligation, computed as provided in paragraph 2 | ||||||
12 | of subsection (b) or (B) the amount required by paragraph | ||||||
13 | 1 of this subsection (a). | ||||||
14 | (b) A separate municipality contribution rate shall be | ||||||
15 | determined for each calendar year for all participating | ||||||
16 | municipalities together with all instrumentalities thereof. | ||||||
17 | The municipality contribution rate shall be determined for | ||||||
18 | participating instrumentalities as if they were participating | ||||||
19 | municipalities. The municipality contribution rate shall be | ||||||
20 | the sum of the following percentages: | ||||||
21 | 1. The percentage of earnings of all the participating | ||||||
22 | employees of all participating municipalities and | ||||||
23 | participating instrumentalities which, if paid over the | ||||||
24 | entire period of their service, will be sufficient when | ||||||
25 | combined with all employee contributions available for the | ||||||
26 | payment of benefits, to provide all annuities for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participating employees, and the $3,000 death benefit | ||||||
2 | payable under Sections 7-158 and 7-164, such percentage to | ||||||
3 | be known as the normal cost rate. | ||||||
4 | 2. The percentage of earnings of the participating | ||||||
5 | employees of each participating municipality and | ||||||
6 | participating instrumentalities necessary to adjust for | ||||||
7 | the difference between the present value of all benefits, | ||||||
8 | excluding temporary and total and permanent disability and | ||||||
9 | death benefits, to be provided for its participating | ||||||
10 | employees and the sum of its accumulated municipality | ||||||
11 | contributions and the accumulated employee contributions | ||||||
12 | and the present value of expected future employee and | ||||||
13 | municipality contributions pursuant to subparagraph 1 of | ||||||
14 | this paragraph (b). This adjustment shall be spread over a | ||||||
15 | period determined by the Board, not to exceed 30 years for | ||||||
16 | participating municipalities or 10 years for participating | ||||||
17 | instrumentalities. | ||||||
18 | 3. The percentage of earnings of the participating | ||||||
19 | employees of all municipalities and participating | ||||||
20 | instrumentalities necessary to provide the present value | ||||||
21 | of all temporary and total and permanent disability | ||||||
22 | benefits granted during the most recent year for which | ||||||
23 | information is available. | ||||||
24 | 4. The percentage of earnings of the participating | ||||||
25 | employees of all participating municipalities and | ||||||
26 | participating instrumentalities necessary to provide the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | present value of the net single sum death benefits | ||||||
2 | expected to become payable from the reserve established | ||||||
3 | under Section 7-206 during the year for which this rate is | ||||||
4 | fixed. | ||||||
5 | 5. The percentage of earnings necessary to meet any | ||||||
6 | deficiency arising in the Terminated Municipality Reserve. | ||||||
7 | (c) A separate municipality contribution rate shall be | ||||||
8 | computed for each participating municipality or participating | ||||||
9 | instrumentality for its sheriff's law enforcement employees. | ||||||
10 | A separate municipality contribution rate shall be | ||||||
11 | computed for the sheriff's law enforcement employees of each | ||||||
12 | forest preserve district that elects to have such employees. | ||||||
13 | For the period from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1986, such | ||||||
14 | rate shall be the forest preserve district's regular rate plus | ||||||
15 | 2%. | ||||||
16 | Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Board shall annually | ||||||
17 | certify to the Governor the amount of each participant | ||||||
18 | municipality's and participating instrumentality's | ||||||
19 | contribution for its sheriff's law enforcement employees. | ||||||
20 | In the event that the Board determines that there is an | ||||||
21 | actuarial deficiency in the account of any municipality with | ||||||
22 | respect to a person who has elected to participate in the Fund | ||||||
23 | under Section 3-109.1 of this Code, the Board may adjust the | ||||||
24 | municipality's contribution rate so as to make up that | ||||||
25 | deficiency over such reasonable period of time as the Board | ||||||
26 | may determine. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) The Board may establish a separate municipality | ||||||
2 | contribution rate for all employees who are program | ||||||
3 | participants employed under the federal Comprehensive | ||||||
4 | Employment Training Act by all of the participating | ||||||
5 | municipalities and instrumentalities. The Board may also | ||||||
6 | provide that, in lieu of a separate municipality rate for | ||||||
7 | these employees, a portion of the municipality contributions | ||||||
8 | for such program participants shall be refunded or an extra | ||||||
9 | charge assessed so that the amount of municipality | ||||||
10 | contributions retained or received by the fund for all CETA | ||||||
11 | program participants shall be an amount equal to that which | ||||||
12 | would be provided by the separate municipality contribution | ||||||
13 | rate for all such program participants. Refunds shall be made | ||||||
14 | to prime sponsors of programs upon submission of a claim | ||||||
15 | therefor and extra charges shall be assessed to participating | ||||||
16 | municipalities and instrumentalities. In establishing the | ||||||
17 | municipality contribution rate as provided in paragraph (b) of | ||||||
18 | this Section, the use of a separate municipality contribution | ||||||
19 | rate for program participants or the refund of a portion of the | ||||||
20 | municipality contributions, as the case may be, may be | ||||||
21 | considered. | ||||||
22 | (e) Computations of municipality contribution rates for | ||||||
23 | the following calendar year shall be made prior to the | ||||||
24 | beginning of each year, from the information available at the | ||||||
25 | time the computations are made, and on the assumption that the | ||||||
26 | employees in each participating municipality or participating |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | instrumentality at such time will continue in service until | ||||||
2 | the end of such calendar year at their respective rates of | ||||||
3 | earnings at such time. | ||||||
4 | (f) Any municipality which is the recipient of State | ||||||
5 | allocations representing that municipality's contributions for | ||||||
6 | retirement annuity purposes on behalf of its employees as | ||||||
7 | provided in Section 12-21.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code | ||||||
8 | shall pay the allocations so received to the Board for such | ||||||
9 | purpose. Estimates of State allocations to be received during | ||||||
10 | any taxable year shall be considered in the determination of | ||||||
11 | the municipality's tax rate for that year under Section 7-171. | ||||||
12 | If a special tax is levied under Section 7-171, none of the | ||||||
13 | proceeds may be used to reimburse the municipality for the | ||||||
14 | amount of State allocations received and paid to the Board. | ||||||
15 | Any multiple-county or consolidated health department which | ||||||
16 | receives contributions from a county under Section 11.2 of "An | ||||||
17 | Act in relation to establishment and maintenance of county and | ||||||
18 | multiple-county health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as | ||||||
19 | amended, or distributions under Section 3 of the Department of | ||||||
20 | Public Health Act, shall use these only for municipality | ||||||
21 | contributions by the health department. | ||||||
22 | (g) Municipality contributions for the several purposes | ||||||
23 | specified shall, for township treasurers and employees in the | ||||||
24 | offices of the township treasurers who meet the qualifying | ||||||
25 | conditions for coverage hereunder, be allocated among the | ||||||
26 | several school districts and parts of school districts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | serviced by such treasurers and employees in the proportion | ||||||
2 | which the amount of school funds of each district or part of a | ||||||
3 | district handled by the treasurer bears to the total amount of | ||||||
4 | all school funds handled by the treasurer. | ||||||
5 | From the funds subject to allocation among districts and | ||||||
6 | parts of districts pursuant to the School Code, the trustees | ||||||
7 | shall withhold the proportionate share of the liability for | ||||||
8 | municipality contributions imposed upon such districts by this | ||||||
9 | Section, in respect to such township treasurers and employees | ||||||
10 | and remit the same to the Board. | ||||||
11 | The municipality contribution rate for an educational | ||||||
12 | service center shall initially be the same rate for each year | ||||||
13 | as the regional office of education or school district which | ||||||
14 | serves as its administrative agent. When actuarial data become | ||||||
15 | available, a separate rate shall be established as provided in | ||||||
16 | subparagraph (i) of this Section. | ||||||
17 | The municipality contribution rate for a public agency, | ||||||
18 | other than a vocational education cooperative, formed under | ||||||
19 | the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act shall initially be the | ||||||
20 | average rate for the municipalities which are parties to the | ||||||
21 | intergovernmental agreement. When actuarial data become | ||||||
22 | available, a separate rate shall be established as provided in | ||||||
23 | subparagraph (i) of this Section. | ||||||
24 | (h) Each participating municipality and participating | ||||||
25 | instrumentality shall make the contributions in the amounts | ||||||
26 | provided in this Section in the manner prescribed from time to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | time by the Board and all such contributions shall be | ||||||
2 | obligations of the respective participating municipalities and | ||||||
3 | participating instrumentalities to this fund. The failure to | ||||||
4 | deduct any employee contributions shall not relieve the | ||||||
5 | participating municipality or participating instrumentality of | ||||||
6 | its obligation to this fund. Delinquent payments of | ||||||
7 | contributions due under this Section may, with interest, be | ||||||
8 | recovered by civil action against the participating | ||||||
9 | municipalities or participating instrumentalities. | ||||||
10 | Municipality contributions, other than the amount necessary | ||||||
11 | for employee contributions, for periods of service by | ||||||
12 | employees from whose earnings no deductions were made for | ||||||
13 | employee contributions to the fund, may be charged to the | ||||||
14 | municipality reserve for the municipality or participating | ||||||
15 | instrumentality. | ||||||
16 | (i) Contributions by participating instrumentalities shall | ||||||
17 | be determined as provided herein except that the percentage | ||||||
18 | derived under subparagraph 2 of paragraph (b) of this Section, | ||||||
19 | and the amount payable under subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a) | ||||||
20 | of this Section, shall be based on an amortization period of 10 | ||||||
21 | years. | ||||||
22 | (j) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, | ||||||
23 | the additional unfunded liability accruing as a result of | ||||||
24 | Public Act 94-712 shall be amortized over a period of 30 years | ||||||
25 | beginning on January 1 of the second calendar year following | ||||||
26 | the calendar year in which Public Act 94-712 takes effect, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | except that the employer may provide for a longer amortization | ||||||
2 | period by adopting a resolution or ordinance specifying a | ||||||
3 | 35-year or 40-year period and submitting a certified copy of | ||||||
4 | the ordinance or resolution to the fund no later than June 1 of | ||||||
5 | the calendar year following the calendar year in which Public | ||||||
6 | Act 94-712 takes effect. | ||||||
7 | (k) If the amount of a participating employee's reported | ||||||
8 | earnings for any of the 12-month periods used to determine the | ||||||
9 | final rate of earnings exceeds the employee's 12-month | ||||||
10 | reported earnings with the same employer for the previous year | ||||||
11 | by the greater of 6% or 1.5 times the annual increase in the | ||||||
12 | Consumer Price Index-U, as established by the United States | ||||||
13 | Department of Labor for the preceding September, the | ||||||
14 | participating municipality or participating instrumentality | ||||||
15 | that paid those earnings shall pay to the Fund, in addition to | ||||||
16 | any other contributions required under this Article, the | ||||||
17 | present value of the increase in the pension resulting from | ||||||
18 | the portion of the increase in reported earnings that is in | ||||||
19 | excess of the greater of 6% or 1.5 times the annual increase in | ||||||
20 | the Consumer Price Index-U, as determined by the Fund. This | ||||||
21 | present value shall be computed on the basis of the actuarial | ||||||
22 | assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial | ||||||
23 | valuation of the Fund that is available at the time of the | ||||||
24 | computation. | ||||||
25 | Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be | ||||||
26 | required under this subsection (k), the fund shall calculate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the amount of the payment and bill the participating | ||||||
2 | municipality or participating instrumentality for that amount. | ||||||
3 | The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the | ||||||
4 | amount due. If the participating municipality or participating | ||||||
5 | instrumentality disputes the amount of the bill, it may, | ||||||
6 | within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the fund in | ||||||
7 | writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in | ||||||
8 | detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely | ||||||
9 | application for recalculation, the fund shall review the | ||||||
10 | application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due. | ||||||
11 | The participating municipality and participating | ||||||
12 | instrumentality contributions required under this subsection | ||||||
13 | (k) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after | ||||||
14 | receipt of the bill. If the participating municipality and | ||||||
15 | participating instrumentality contributions are not paid | ||||||
16 | within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be | ||||||
17 | charged at a rate equal to the fund's annual actuarially | ||||||
18 | assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from | ||||||
19 | the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be | ||||||
20 | concluded within 3 years after receipt of the bill by the | ||||||
21 | participating municipality or participating instrumentality. | ||||||
22 | When assessing payment for any amount due under this | ||||||
23 | subsection (k), the fund shall exclude earnings increases | ||||||
24 | resulting from overload or overtime earnings. | ||||||
25 | When assessing payment for any amount due under this | ||||||
26 | subsection (k), the fund shall exclude earnings increases |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resulting from payments for unused vacation time, but only for | ||||||
2 | payments for unused vacation time made in the final 3 months of | ||||||
3 | the final rate of earnings period. | ||||||
4 | When assessing payment for any amount due under this | ||||||
5 | subsection (k), the fund shall also exclude earnings increases | ||||||
6 | attributable to standard employment promotions resulting in | ||||||
7 | increased responsibility and workload. | ||||||
8 | When assessing payment for any amount due under this | ||||||
9 | subsection (k), the fund shall exclude reportable earnings | ||||||
10 | increases resulting from periods where the member was paid | ||||||
11 | through workers' compensation. | ||||||
12 | This subsection (k) does not apply to earnings increases | ||||||
13 | due to amounts paid as required by federal or State law or | ||||||
14 | court mandate or to earnings increases due to the | ||||||
15 | participating employee returning to the regular number of | ||||||
16 | hours worked after having a temporary reduction in the number | ||||||
17 | of hours worked. | ||||||
18 | This subsection (k) does not apply to earnings increases | ||||||
19 | paid to individuals under contracts or collective bargaining | ||||||
20 | agreements entered into, amended, or renewed before January 1, | ||||||
21 | 2012 (the effective date of Public Act 97-609), earnings | ||||||
22 | increases paid to members who are 10 years or more from | ||||||
23 | retirement eligibility, or earnings increases resulting from | ||||||
24 | an increase in the number of hours required to be worked. | ||||||
25 | When assessing payment for any amount due under this | ||||||
26 | subsection (k), the fund shall also exclude earnings |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | attributable to personnel policies adopted before January 1, | ||||||
2 | 2012 (the effective date of Public Act 97-609) as long as those | ||||||
3 | policies are not applicable to employees who begin service on | ||||||
4 | or after January 1, 2012 (the effective date of Public Act | ||||||
5 | 97-609). | ||||||
6 | The change made to this Section by Public Act 100-139 is a | ||||||
7 | clarification of existing law and is intended to be | ||||||
8 | retroactive to January 1, 2012 (the effective date of Public | ||||||
9 | Act 97-609). | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | (40 ILCS 5/14-152.1) | ||||||
12 | Sec. 14-152.1. Application and expiration of new benefit | ||||||
13 | increases. | ||||||
14 | (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means | ||||||
15 | an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this | ||||||
16 | Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for | ||||||
17 | any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment | ||||||
18 | to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the | ||||||
19 | effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase", | ||||||
20 | however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from | ||||||
21 | the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act | ||||||
22 | 96-37, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act | ||||||
23 | 100-611, Public Act 101-10, Public Act 101-610, Public Act | ||||||
24 | 102-210, Public Act 102-856, Public Act 102-956, or this | ||||||
25 | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly this amendatory |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act of the 102nd General Assembly . | ||||||
2 | (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or | ||||||
3 | any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit | ||||||
4 | increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be | ||||||
5 | granted only in conformance with and contingent upon | ||||||
6 | compliance with the provisions of this Section. | ||||||
7 | (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must | ||||||
8 | identify and provide for payment to the System of additional | ||||||
9 | funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual | ||||||
10 | increase in cost to the System as it accrues. | ||||||
11 | Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General | ||||||
12 | Assembly providing the additional funding required under this | ||||||
13 | subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and | ||||||
14 | Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional | ||||||
15 | funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and | ||||||
16 | shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of | ||||||
17 | the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by | ||||||
18 | a Public Act that does not include the additional funding | ||||||
19 | required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public | ||||||
20 | Pension Division determines that the additional funding | ||||||
21 | provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is | ||||||
22 | or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and | ||||||
23 | the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action | ||||||
24 | by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire | ||||||
25 | at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is | ||||||
26 | made. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after | ||||||
2 | its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified | ||||||
3 | in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided | ||||||
4 | under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General | ||||||
5 | Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase | ||||||
6 | by law. | ||||||
7 | (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating | ||||||
8 | the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires | ||||||
9 | under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied | ||||||

16 | contributions as of the date the annuity begins; | ||||||
17 | (ii) an annuity from employer contributions of an | ||||||

24 | (iii) the annuity that can be provided on an | ||||||
25 | actuarially equivalent basis from the entire contribution | ||||||

1 | With respect to a police officer or firefighter who | ||||||

11 | employee or employer contribution for early retirement under | ||||||
12 | Section 15-136.2 nor any other employer contribution shall be | ||||||
13 | used in the calculation of the amount of a retirement annuity | ||||||
14 | under this Rule 2. | ||||||
15 | This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is a | ||||||
16 | clarification of existing law and applies to every participant | ||||||
17 | and annuitant without regard to whether status as an employee | ||||||
18 | terminates before the effective date of this amendatory Act. | ||||||
19 | This Rule 2 does not apply to a person who first becomes an | ||||||
20 | employee under this Article on or after July 1, 2005. | ||||||
21 | Rule 3: The retirement annuity of a participant who is | ||||||
22 | employed at least one-half time during the period on which his | ||||||

25 | (1) $96 if the participant's final rate of earnings is less | ||||||
26 | than $3,500, (2) $108 if the final rate of earnings is at least |
| |||||||

10 | election under Section 15-154(a-1) shall be calculated and | ||||||
11 | payable under the portable retirement benefit program pursuant | ||||||
12 | to the provisions of Section 15-136.4. | ||||||
13 | Rule 4: A participant who is at least age 50 and has 25 or | ||||||
14 | more years of service as a police officer or firefighter, and a | ||||||
15 | participant who is age 55 or over and has at least 20 but less | ||||||
16 | than 25 years of service as a police officer or firefighter, | ||||||
17 | shall be entitled to a retirement annuity of 2 1/4% of the | ||||||
18 | final rate of earnings for each of the first 10 years of | ||||||
19 | service as a police officer or firefighter, 2 1/2% for each of | ||||||
20 | the next 10 years of service as a police officer or | ||||||
21 | firefighter, and 2 3/4% for each year of service as a police | ||||||
22 | officer or firefighter in excess of 20. The retirement annuity | ||||||
23 | for all other service shall be computed under Rule 1. A Tier 2 | ||||||
24 | member is eligible for a retirement annuity calculated under | ||||||
25 | Rule 4 only if that Tier 2 member meets the service | ||||||
26 | requirements for that benefit calculation as prescribed under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Rule 4 in addition to the applicable age requirement | ||||||
2 | under subsection (a-10) of Section 15-135. | ||||||
3 | For purposes of this Rule 4, a participant's service as a | ||||||
4 | firefighter shall also include the following: | ||||||
5 | (i) service that is performed while the person is an | ||||||
6 | employee under subsection (h) of Section 15-107; and | ||||||
7 | (ii) in the case of an individual who was a | ||||||
8 | participating employee employed in the fire department of | ||||||
9 | the University of Illinois's Champaign-Urbana campus | ||||||
10 | immediately prior to the elimination of that fire | ||||||
11 | department and who immediately after the elimination of | ||||||
12 | that fire department transferred to another job with the | ||||||
13 | University of Illinois, service performed as an employee | ||||||
14 | of the University of Illinois in a position other than | ||||||
15 | police officer or firefighter, from the date of that | ||||||
16 | transfer until the employee's next termination of service | ||||||
17 | with the University of Illinois. | ||||||
18 | (b) For a Tier 1 member, the retirement annuity provided | ||||||
19 | under Rules 1 and 3 above shall be reduced by 1/2 of 1% for | ||||||
20 | each month the participant is under age 60 at the time of | ||||||
21 | retirement. However, this reduction shall not apply in the | ||||||
22 | following cases: | ||||||
23 | (1) For a disabled participant whose disability | ||||||
24 | benefits have been discontinued because he or she has | ||||||
25 | exhausted eligibility for disability benefits under clause | ||||||
26 | (6) of Section 15-152; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) For a participant who has at least the number of | ||||||
2 | years of service required to retire at any age under | ||||||
3 | subsection (a) of Section 15-135; or | ||||||
4 | (3) For that portion of a retirement annuity which has | ||||||
5 | been provided on account of service of the participant | ||||||
6 | during periods when he or she performed the duties of a | ||||||
7 | police officer or firefighter, if these duties were | ||||||
8 | performed for at least 5 years immediately preceding the | ||||||
9 | date the retirement annuity is to begin. | ||||||
10 | (b-5) The retirement annuity of a Tier 2 member who is | ||||||
11 | retiring under Rule 1 or 3 after attaining age 62 with at least | ||||||
12 | 10 years of service credit shall be reduced by 1/2 of 1% for | ||||||
13 | each full month that the member's age is under age 67. | ||||||
14 | (c) The maximum retirement annuity provided under Rules 1, | ||||||
15 | 2, 4, and 5 shall be the lesser of (1) the annual limit of | ||||||
16 | benefits as specified in Section 415 of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
17 | Code of 1986, as such Section may be amended from time to time | ||||||
18 | and as such benefit limits shall be adjusted by the | ||||||
19 | Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and (2) 80% of final rate of | ||||||
20 | earnings. | ||||||
21 | (d) A Tier 1 member whose status as an employee terminates | ||||||
22 | after August 14, 1969 shall receive automatic increases in his | ||||||
23 | or her retirement annuity as follows: | ||||||
24 | Effective January 1 immediately following the date the | ||||||
25 | retirement annuity begins, the annuitant shall receive an | ||||||
26 | increase in his or her monthly retirement annuity of 0.125% of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the monthly retirement annuity provided under Rule 1, Rule 2, | ||||||
2 | Rule 3, or Rule 4 contained in this Section, multiplied by the | ||||||
3 | number of full months which elapsed from the date the | ||||||
4 | retirement annuity payments began to January 1, 1972, plus | ||||||
5 | 0.1667% of such annuity, multiplied by the number of full | ||||||
6 | months which elapsed from January 1, 1972, or the date the | ||||||
7 | retirement annuity payments began, whichever is later, to | ||||||
8 | January 1, 1978, plus 0.25% of such annuity multiplied by the | ||||||
9 | number of full months which elapsed from January 1, 1978, or | ||||||
10 | the date the retirement annuity payments began, whichever is | ||||||
11 | later, to the effective date of the increase. | ||||||
12 | The annuitant shall receive an increase in his or her | ||||||
13 | monthly retirement annuity on each January 1 thereafter during | ||||||
14 | the annuitant's life of 3% of the monthly annuity provided | ||||||
15 | under Rule 1, Rule 2, Rule 3, or Rule 4 contained in this | ||||||
16 | Section. The change made under this subsection by P.A. 81-970 | ||||||
17 | is effective January 1, 1980 and applies to each annuitant | ||||||
18 | whose status as an employee terminates before or after that | ||||||
19 | date. | ||||||
20 | Beginning January 1, 1990, all automatic annual increases | ||||||
21 | payable under this Section shall be calculated as a percentage | ||||||
22 | of the total annuity payable at the time of the increase, | ||||||
23 | including all increases previously granted under this Article. | ||||||
24 | The change made in this subsection by P.A. 85-1008 is | ||||||
25 | effective January 26, 1988, and is applicable without regard | ||||||
26 | to whether status as an employee terminated before that date. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d-5) A retirement annuity of a Tier 2 member shall | ||||||
2 | receive annual increases on the January 1 occurring either on | ||||||
3 | or after the attainment of age 67 or the first anniversary of | ||||||
4 | the annuity start date, whichever is later. Each annual | ||||||
5 | increase shall be calculated at 3% or one half the annual | ||||||
6 | unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the | ||||||
7 | consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
8 | September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the | ||||||
9 | originally granted retirement annuity. If the annual | ||||||
10 | unadjusted percentage change in the consumer price index-u for | ||||||
11 | the 12 months ending with the September preceding each | ||||||
12 | November 1 is zero or there is a decrease, then the annuity | ||||||
13 | shall not be increased. | ||||||
14 | (e) If, on January 1, 1987, or the date the retirement | ||||||
15 | annuity payment period begins, whichever is later, the sum of | ||||||
16 | the retirement annuity provided under Rule 1 or Rule 2 of this | ||||||
17 | Section and the automatic annual increases provided under the | ||||||
18 | preceding subsection or Section 15-136.1, amounts to less than | ||||||
19 | the retirement annuity which would be provided by Rule 3, the | ||||||
20 | retirement annuity shall be increased as of January 1, 1987, | ||||||
21 | or the date the retirement annuity payment period begins, | ||||||
22 | whichever is later, to the amount which would be provided by | ||||||
23 | Rule 3 of this Section. Such increased amount shall be | ||||||
24 | considered as the retirement annuity in determining benefits | ||||||
25 | provided under other Sections of this Article. This paragraph | ||||||
26 | applies without regard to whether status as an employee |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | terminated before the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
2 | 1987, provided that the annuitant was employed at least | ||||||
3 | one-half time during the period on which the final rate of | ||||||
4 | earnings was based. | ||||||
5 | (f) A participant is entitled to such additional annuity | ||||||
6 | as may be provided on an actuarially equivalent basis, by any | ||||||
7 | accumulated additional contributions to his or her credit. | ||||||
8 | However, the additional contributions made by the participant | ||||||
9 | toward the automatic increases in annuity provided under this | ||||||
10 | Section shall not be taken into account in determining the | ||||||
11 | amount of such additional annuity. | ||||||
12 | (g) If, (1) by law, a function of a governmental unit, as | ||||||
13 | defined by Section 20-107 of this Code, is transferred in | ||||||
14 | whole or in part to an employer, and (2) a participant | ||||||
15 | transfers employment from such governmental unit to such | ||||||
16 | employer within 6 months after the transfer of the function, | ||||||
17 | and (3) the sum of (A) the annuity payable to the participant | ||||||
18 | under Rule 1, 2, or 3 of this Section (B) all proportional | ||||||
19 | annuities payable to the participant by all other retirement | ||||||
20 | systems covered by Article 20, and (C) the initial primary | ||||||
21 | insurance amount to which the participant is entitled under | ||||||
22 | the Social Security Act, is less than the retirement annuity | ||||||
23 | which would have been payable if all of the participant's | ||||||
24 | pension credits validated under Section 20-109 had been | ||||||
25 | validated under this system, a supplemental annuity equal to | ||||||
26 | the difference in such amounts shall be payable to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participant. | ||||||
2 | (h) On January 1, 1981, an annuitant who was receiving a | ||||||
3 | retirement annuity on or before January 1, 1971 shall have his | ||||||
4 | or her retirement annuity then being paid increased $1 per | ||||||
5 | month for each year of creditable service. On January 1, 1982, | ||||||
6 | an annuitant whose retirement annuity began on or before | ||||||
7 | January 1, 1977, shall have his or her retirement annuity then | ||||||
8 | being paid increased $1 per month for each year of creditable | ||||||
9 | service. | ||||||
10 | (i) On January 1, 1987, any annuitant whose retirement | ||||||
11 | annuity began on or before January 1, 1977, shall have the | ||||||
12 | monthly retirement annuity increased by an amount equal to 8¢ | ||||||
13 | per year of creditable service times the number of years that | ||||||
14 | have elapsed since the annuity began. | ||||||
15 | (j) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory | ||||||
16 | Act of the 101st General Assembly apply retroactively to | ||||||
17 | January 1, 2011. | ||||||

8 | 103rd General Assembly or this amendatory Act of the 103rd | ||||||
9 | General Assembly . | ||||||
10 | (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or | ||||||
11 | any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit | ||||||
12 | increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be | ||||||
13 | granted only in conformance with and contingent upon | ||||||
14 | compliance with the provisions of this Section. | ||||||
15 | (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must | ||||||
16 | identify and provide for payment to the System of additional | ||||||
17 | funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual | ||||||
18 | increase in cost to the System as it accrues. | ||||||
19 | Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General | ||||||
20 | Assembly providing the additional funding required under this | ||||||
21 | subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and | ||||||
22 | Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional | ||||||
23 | funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and | ||||||
24 | shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of | ||||||
25 | the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by | ||||||
26 | a Public Act that does not include the additional funding |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public | ||||||
2 | Pension Division determines that the additional funding | ||||||
3 | provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is | ||||||
4 | or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and | ||||||
5 | the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action | ||||||
6 | by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire | ||||||
7 | at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is | ||||||
8 | made. | ||||||
9 | (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after | ||||||
10 | its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified | ||||||
11 | in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided | ||||||
12 | under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General | ||||||
13 | Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase | ||||||
14 | by law. | ||||||
15 | (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating | ||||||
16 | the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires | ||||||
17 | under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied | ||||||
18 | and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit | ||||||
19 | increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and | ||||||
20 | alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any | ||||||
21 | other person, including, without limitation, a person who | ||||||
22 | continues in service after the expiration date and did not | ||||||
23 | apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new | ||||||
24 | benefit increase was in effect. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 15-203. Application of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
3 | 103rd General Assembly. It is the intent of this amendatory | ||||||
4 | Act of the 103rd General Assembly to provide to police | ||||||
5 | officers and firefighters who first became participants on or | ||||||
6 | after January 1, 2011 the same level of benefits and | ||||||
7 | eligibility criteria for benefits as those who first became | ||||||
8 | participants before January 1, 2011. The changes made to this | ||||||
9 | Article by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly | ||||||
10 | that provide benefit increases for police officers and | ||||||
11 | firefighters apply without regard to whether the participant | ||||||
12 | was in service on or after the effective date of this | ||||||
13 | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, notwithstanding | ||||||
14 | the provisions of Section 1-103.1. The benefit increases are | ||||||
15 | intended to apply prospectively and do not entitle a | ||||||
16 | participant to retroactive benefit payments or increases. The | ||||||
17 | changes made to this Article by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
18 | 103rd General Assembly shall not cause or otherwise result in | ||||||
19 | any retroactive adjustment of any employee contributions.
