1 | AN ACT concerning courts.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act is | ||||||
5 | amended by changing Section 5-20 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (705 ILCS 135/5-20) | ||||||
7 | (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a | ||||||
8 | delayed effective date )
| ||||||
9 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2021) | ||||||
10 | Sec. 5-20. Credit; time served; community service.
| ||||||
11 | (a) Any credit for time served prior to sentencing that | ||||||
12 | reduces the amount a defendant is required to pay shall be | ||||||
13 | deducted first from the fine, if any, ordered by the court. Any | ||||||
14 | remainder of the credit shall be equally divided between the | ||||||
15 | assessments indicated in the ordered schedule and conditional | ||||||
16 | assessments. | ||||||
17 | (b) Excluding any ordered conditional assessment, a | ||||||
18 | defendant who has been ordered to pay an assessment may | ||||||
19 | petition
the court to convert all or part of the assessment | ||||||
20 | into court-approved
public or community service. One hour of | ||||||
21 | public or community service shall
be equivalent to the value of | ||||||
22 | one hour of work at the State minimum wage as provided in the | ||||||
23 | Minimum Wage Law or the minimum hourly wage in the municipality |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | where the defendant resides, whichever is greater, as | ||||||
2 | calculated by the Department of Labor. On the effective date of | ||||||
3 | this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly and annually | ||||||
4 | thereafter, the Director of Labor shall publish the Illinois | ||||||
5 | minimum wage and the minimum wages of each municipality in this | ||||||
6 | State that has enacted by ordinance a minimum wage that is | ||||||
7 | greater than the State minimum wage. The Director of Labor | ||||||
8 | shall update the list if the State or municipal minimum wage is | ||||||
9 | changed by law or if a municipality enacts an ordinance | ||||||
10 | increasing its minimum wage that is greater than the State | ||||||
11 | minimum wage. The published minimum wage list and updates shall | ||||||
12 | be sent to the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to | ||||||
13 | be provided to each judicial circuit in this State $4 of | ||||||
14 | assessment . The performance of this public or
community service | ||||||
15 | shall be a condition of probation, conditional
discharge, or | ||||||
16 | supervision and shall be in addition to the performance of any
| ||||||
17 | other period of public or community service ordered by the | ||||||
18 | court or required
by law.
