20 inmate during specific periods of time in which such inmate
21 is engaged full-time in substance abuse programs,
22 correctional industry assignments, or educational programs
23 provided by the Department under this paragraph (4) and
24 satisfactorily completes the assigned program as
25 determined by the standards of the Department, shall be
26 multiplied by a factor of 1.25 for program participation

HB5019 - 9 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 before August 11, 1993 and 1.50 for program participation

3 for the additional good conduct credit under this paragraph
4 (4) or (4.1) of this subsection (a) while assigned to a
5 boot camp or electronic detention, or if convicted of an
6 offense enumerated in subdivision (a)(2)(i), (ii), or
7 (iii) of this Section that is committed on or after June

13 (a)(2)(vi) when the offense is committed on or after June
14 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-625), or if
15 convicted of reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e)
16 of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense
17 is committed on or after January 1, 1999, or aggravated
18 driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
19 drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any
20 combination thereof as defined in subparagraph (F) of
21 paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the
22 Illinois Vehicle Code, or if convicted of an offense
23 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2.4) of this Section that is
24 committed on or after July 15, 1999 (the effective date of
25 Public Act 91-121), or first degree murder, a Class X
26 felony, criminal sexual assault, felony criminal sexual

HB5019 - 10 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 abuse, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, aggravated
2 battery with a firearm, or any predecessor or successor
3 offenses with the same or substantially the same elements,
4 or any inchoate offenses relating to the foregoing
5 offenses. No inmate shall be eligible for the additional
6 good conduct credit under this paragraph (4) who (i) has
7 previously received increased good conduct credit under
8 this paragraph (4) and has subsequently been convicted of a
9 felony, or (ii) has previously served more than one prior
10 sentence of imprisonment for a felony in an adult
11 correctional facility.
12 Educational, vocational, substance abuse and
13 correctional industry programs under which good conduct
14 credit may be increased under this paragraph (4) and
15 paragraph (4.1) of this subsection (a) shall be evaluated
16 by the Department on the basis of documented standards. The
17 Department shall report the results of these evaluations to
18 the Governor and the General Assembly by September 30th of
19 each year. The reports shall include data relating to the
20 recidivism rate among program participants.
21 Availability of these programs shall be subject to the
22 limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General
23 Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are
24 denied immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting
25 list under criteria established by the Department. The
26 inability of any inmate to become engaged in any such

HB5019 - 11 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 programs by reason of insufficient program resources or for
2 any other reason established under the rules and
3 regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause
4 of action under which the Department or any employee or
5 agent of the Department shall be liable for damages to the
6 inmate.
7 (4.1) The rules and regulations shall also provide that
8 an additional 60 days of good conduct credit shall be
9 awarded to any prisoner who passes the high school level
10 Test of General Educational Development (GED) while the
11 prisoner is incarcerated. The good conduct credit awarded
12 under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and
13 shall not affect, the award of good conduct under any other
14 paragraph of this Section, but shall also be pursuant to
15 the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4)
16 of subsection (a) of this Section. The good conduct credit
17 provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to
18 those prisoners who have not previously earned a high
19 school diploma or a GED. If, after an award of the GED good
20 conduct credit has been made and the Department determines
21 that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award shall be
22 revoked.
23 (4.5) The rules and regulations on early release shall
24 also provide that when the court's sentencing order
25 recommends a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the
26 crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the

HB5019 - 12 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 effective date of Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall
2 receive no good conduct credit awarded under clause (3) of
3 this subsection (a) unless he or she participates in and
4 completes a substance abuse treatment program. The
5 Director may waive the requirement to participate in or
6 complete a substance abuse treatment program and award the
7 good conduct credit in specific instances if the prisoner
8 is not a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment
9 program for medical, programming, or operational reasons.
10 Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be subject
11 to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the
12 General Assembly for these purposes. If treatment is not
13 available and the requirement to participate and complete
14 the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the
15 prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
16 established by the Department. The Director may allow a
17 prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
18 complete a substance abuse education class or attend
19 substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance
20 abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who
21 is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release
22 may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct
23 credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
24 discretion of the Director.
25 (4.6) The rules and regulations on early release shall
26 also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a

HB5019 - 13 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 sex offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
2 Registration Act shall receive no good conduct credit
3 unless he or she either has successfully completed or is
4 participating in sex offender treatment as defined by the
5 Sex Offender Management Board. However, prisoners who are
6 waiting to receive such treatment, but who are unable to do
7 so due solely to the lack of resources on the part of the
8 Department, may, at the Director's sole discretion, be
9 awarded good conduct credit at such rate as the Director
10 shall determine.
11 (5) (Blank) Whenever the Department is to release any
12 inmate earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant
13 of good conduct credit for meritorious service given at any
14 time during the term, the Department shall give reasonable
15 advance notice of the impending release to the State's
16 Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate
17 took place.
18 (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under
19 several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences
20 shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and
21 forfeiting of good time.
22 (c) The Department shall prescribe rules and regulations
23 for revoking good conduct credit, or suspending or reducing the
24 rate of accumulation of good conduct credit for specific rule
25 violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
26 shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one

HB5019 - 14 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 year of good conduct credit for any one infraction.
2 When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend or reduce the
3 rate of accumulation of any good conduct credits for an alleged
4 infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges therefor
5 against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of good conduct
6 credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided in
7 subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
8 amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days or when during any 12
9 month period, the cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds
10 30 days except where the infraction is committed or discovered
11 within 60 days of scheduled release. In those cases, the
12 Department of Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of good
13 conduct credit. The Board may subsequently approve the
14 revocation of additional good conduct credit, if the Department
15 seeks to revoke good conduct credit in excess of 30 days.
16 However, the Board shall not be empowered to review the
17 Department's decision with respect to the loss of 30 days of
18 good conduct credit within any calendar year for any prisoner
19 or to increase any penalty beyond the length requested by the
20 Department.
21 The Director of the Department of Corrections, in
22 appropriate cases, may restore up to 30 days good conduct
23 credits which have been revoked, suspended or reduced. Any
24 restoration of good conduct credits in excess of 30 days shall
25 be subject to review by the Prisoner Review Board. However, the
26 Board may not restore good conduct credit in excess of the

HB5019 - 15 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 amount requested by the Director.
2 Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
3 Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
4 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
5 sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
6 accumulation of good conduct credit.
7 (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
8 federal court against the State, the Department of Corrections,
9 or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of their officers
10 or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
11 pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is
12 frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a
13 hearing to revoke up to 180 days of good conduct credit by
14 bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived of
15 the good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
16 provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
17 If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of good conduct
18 credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
19 Board may revoke all good conduct credit accumulated by the
20 prisoner.
21 For purposes of this subsection (d):
22 (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or other
23 filing which purports to be a legal document filed by a
24 prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the
25 following criteria:
26 (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in

HB5019 - 16 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 fact;
2 (B) it is being presented for any improper purpose,
3 such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or
4 needless increase in the cost of litigation;
5 (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal
6 contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
7 or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
8 modification, or reversal of existing law or the
9 establishment of new law;
10 (D) the allegations and other factual contentions
11 do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
12 identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support
13 after a reasonable opportunity for further
14 investigation or discovery; or
15 (E) the denials of factual contentions are not
16 warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
17 identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
18 information or belief.
19 (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3
20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus
21 action under Article X of the Code of Civil Procedure or
22 under federal law (28 U.S.C. 2254), a petition for claim
23 under the Court of Claims Act, an action under the federal
24 Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 1983), or a second or
25 subsequent petition for post-conviction relief under
26 Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963

HB5019 - 17 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b

2 subsequent petition for relief from judgment under Section
3 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
4 (e) Nothing in Public Act 90-592 or 90-593 affects the
5 validity of Public Act 89-404.
6 (f) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate who
7 has been convicted of a violation of an order of protection
8 under Section 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961, earlier than
9 it otherwise would because of a grant of good conduct credit,
10 the Department, as a condition of such early release, shall
11 require that the person, upon release, be placed under
12 electronic surveillance as provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this
13 Code.

HB5019 - 18 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
2 provision of a local ordinance, the individual must undergo a
3 professional evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other
4 drug abuse problem exists and the extent of such a problem.
5 Programs conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
6 Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is not
7 a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
8 accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
9 individual's residence. The court may in its sentencing order
10 approve an eligible defendant for placement in a Department of
11 Corrections impact incarceration program as provided in
12 Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3. The court may in its sentencing
13 order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
14 Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
15 paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
16 upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
17 Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
18 (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the

1 screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
2 an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
3 assessment services for the Illinois courts;
4 (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
5 (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
6 statement in his own behalf;

10 individual affected by: (i) a violation of Section 405,
11 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances
12 Act or a violation of Section 55 or Section 65 of the
13 Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
14 (ii) a Class 4 felony violation of Section 11-14, 11-15,
15 11-17, 11-18, 11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of

17 statement concerning the impact on the victim and to offer
18 evidence in aggravation or mitigation; provided that the
19 statement and evidence offered in aggravation or
20 mitigation must first be prepared in writing in conjunction
21 with the State's Attorney before it may be presented orally
22 at the hearing. Any sworn testimony offered by the victim
23 is subject to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All
24 statements and evidence offered under this paragraph (7)
25 shall become part of the record of the court. For the
26 purpose of this paragraph (7), "qualified individual"

HB5019 - 20 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 means any person who (i) lived or worked within the
2 territorial jurisdiction where the offense took place when
3 the offense took place; and (ii) is familiar with various
4 public places within the territorial jurisdiction where
5 the offense took place when the offense took place. For the
6 purposes of this paragraph (7), "qualified individual"
7 includes any peace officer, or any member of any duly
8 organized State, county, or municipal peace unit assigned
9 to the territorial jurisdiction where the offense took
10 place when the offense took place;

15 under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
16 results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
17 to Section 5-3-2 of this Act.
18 (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
19 his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
20 any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
21 who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
22 guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer sitting
23 as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not impose
24 sentence at the same time on all defendants who are convicted
25 as a result of being involved in the same offense, the
26 defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the sentencing

HB5019 - 21 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b

6 combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
7 ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury to
8 someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall specify
9 on the record the particular evidence, information, factors in
10 mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that led to his
11 sentencing determination. The full verbatim record of the
12 sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the court
13 and shall be a public record.
14 (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
15 kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
16 aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
17 firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or category

19 the conduct leading to conviction for the offense resulted in
20 great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that finding and
21 the basis for that finding in the record.
22 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
23 when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a sentence of
24 death is imposed, at the time the sentence is imposed the judge
25 shall state on the record in open court the approximate period
26 of time the defendant will serve in custody according to the

7 sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
8 the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3,
9 shall include the following:
10 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of

12 prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
13 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
14 applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
15 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
16 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
17 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
18 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good
19 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
20 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply with
21 the institutional regulations, does not receive those credits,
22 the actual time served in prison will be longer. The defendant
23 may also receive an additional one-half day good conduct credit
24 for each day of participation in vocational, industry,

15 prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
16 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as

19 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good
20 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
21 years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good
22 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant,
23 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply with

25 the actual time served in prison will be longer. The defendant
26 may also receive an additional one-half day good conduct credit

15 Code, and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated arson if
16 the offense was committed on or after July 27, 2001 (the

19 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 as
24 applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of

26 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of

HB5019 - 25 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 good conduct credit for each month of his or her sentence of

3 of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 1/2
4 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the period
5 of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... months. If the

17 applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
18 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
19 case, the defendant is not entitled to good conduct credit.
20 Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
21 sentence."

6 trial court shall hold a hearing under Section 5-4-1 of the
7 Unified Code of Corrections which may include evidence of the
8 defendant's life, moral character and occupation during the
9 time since the original sentence was passed. The trial court
10 shall then impose sentence upon the defendant. The trial court
11 may impose any sentence which could have been imposed at the
12 original trial subject to Section 5-5-4 of the Unified Code of
13 Corrections. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
14 collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
15 trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a
16 fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
17 punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
18 otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced

1 may impose a sentence of probation only where:
2 (1) the court finds (A) or (B) or both are appropriate:

22 at the time the offense was committed and requires
23 counseling as a result of the offense.
24 Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
25 5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
26 the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation

22 personnel involved in the testing and must be personally
23 delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of the court in
24 which the conviction was entered for the judge's inspection in

15 relevant in order to prosecute a charge of criminal
16 transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of the Criminal Code
17 of 1961 against the defendant. The court shall order that the
18 cost of any such test shall be paid by the county and may be

12 and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
13 judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the
14 judge's inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the
15 best interests of the public, the judge shall have the
16 discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the
17 testing may be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant
18 of a positive test showing an infection with the human
19 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
20 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
21 at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
22 whom the results of the testing are revealed and shall direct
23 the State's Attorney to provide the information to the victim
24 when possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to
25 obtain the results of any HIV test administered under this
26 Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the

HB5019 - 43 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a
2 charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-16.2 of

17 11-21, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal
18 Code of 1961, any violation of the Illinois Controlled
19 Substances Act, any violation of the Cannabis Control Act, or
20 any violation of the Methamphetamine Control and Community
21 Protection Act results in conviction, a disposition of court
22 supervision, or an order of probation granted under Section 10
23 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
24 Controlled Substance Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine
25 Control and Community Protection Act of a defendant, the court

20 diploma or to work toward passing the high school level Test of
21 General Educational Development (GED) or to work toward
22 completing a vocational training program offered by the
23 Department of Corrections. If a defendant fails to complete the
24 educational training required by his or her sentence during the

26 condition of mandatory supervised release, require the

HB5019 - 45 - LRB096 17401 RLC 32754 b
1 defendant, at his or her own expense, to pursue a course of

4 release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
5 subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
6 penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
7 term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
8 good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
9 educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
10 comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
11 whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under
12 this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
13 subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high

20 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under
