Programs conducting these evaluations shall be 12 licensed by the Department of Human Services. However, if 13 the individual is not a resident of Illinois, the court may, 14 in its discretion, accept an evaluation from a program in the 15 state of such individual's residence. The court may in its 16 sentencing order approve an eligible defendant for placement 17 in a Department of Corrections impact incarceration program 18 as provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3.

Any sworn testimony offered by the victim is 10 subject to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All 11 statements and evidence offered under this paragraph (7) 12 shall become part of the record of the court. For the 13 purpose of this paragraph (7), "qualified individual" 14 means any person who (i) lived or worked within the 15 territorial jurisdiction where the offense took place 16 when the offense took place; and (ii) is familiar with 17 various public places within the territorial jurisdiction 18 where the offense took place when the offense took place. 19 For the purposes of this paragraph (7), "qualified 20 individual" includes any peace officer, or any member of 21 any duly organized State, county, or municipal peace unit 22 assigned to the territorial jurisdiction where the 23 offense took place when the offense took place; and 24 (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the 25 victim's spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate 26 family members an opportunity to make oral statements. 27 (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based 28 upon his independent assessment of the elements specified 29 above and any agreement as to sentence reached by the 30 parties. The judge who presided at the trial or the judge 31 who accepted the plea of guilty shall impose the sentence 32 unless he is no longer sitting as a judge in that court. 33 Where the judge does not impose sentence at the same time on 34 all defendants who are convicted as a result of being HB2498 Engrossed -12- LRB093 03442 RLC 03468 b 1 involved in the same offense, the defendant or the State's 2 Attorney may advise the sentencing court of the disposition 3 of any other defendants who have been sentenced. 4 (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an 5 offense of operating or being in physical control of a 6 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug 7 or any combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local 8 ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury 9 to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall 10 specify on the record the particular evidence, information, 11 factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that 12 led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record 13 of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of 14 the court and shall be a public record. 15 (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of 16 aggravated kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed 17 robbery, aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge 18 of a firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or 19 category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as 20 to whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense 21 resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter 22 that finding and the basis for that finding in the record. 23 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other 24 than when a sentence of natural life imprisonment or a 25 sentence of death is imposed, at the time the sentence is 26 imposed the judge shall state on the record in open court the 27 approximate period of time the defendant will serve in 28 custody according to the then current statutory rules and 29 regulations for early release found in Section 3-6-3 and 30 other related provisions of this Code. This statement is 31 intended solely to inform the public, has no legal effect on 32 the defendant's actual release, and may not be relied on by 33 the defendant on appeal. 34 The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the HB2498 Engrossed -13- LRB093 03442 RLC 03468 b 1 sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of 2 the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, 3 shall include the following: 4 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 5 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 6 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 7 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 8 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of 9 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this 10 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good 11 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ... 12 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional good 13 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant, 14 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply 15 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those 16 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer. 17 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day 18 good conduct credit for each day of participation in 19 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational 20 programs as provided for by Illinois statute." 21 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 22 enumerated in paragraph (a)(3) of Section 3-6-3, other than 23 when the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 24 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3 committed on 25 or after June 19, 1998, and other than when the sentence is 26 imposed for reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e) of 27 Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense was 28 committed on or after January 1, 1999, and other than when 29 the sentence is imposed for aggravated arson if the offense 30 was committed on or after the effective date of this 31 amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, the judge's 32 statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall 33 include the following: 34 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of HB2498 Engrossed -14- LRB093 03442 RLC 03468 b 1 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 2 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 3 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 4 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of 5 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this 6 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her good 7 conduct credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ... 8 years and ... months, less up to 90 days additional good 9 conduct credit for meritorious service. If the defendant, 10 because of his or her own misconduct or failure to comply 11 with the institutional regulations, does not receive those 12 credits, the actual time served in prison will be longer. 13 The defendant may also receive an additional one-half day 14 good conduct credit for each day of participation in 15 vocational, industry, substance abuse, and educational 16 programs as provided for by Illinois statute." 17 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses 18 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than 19 first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or 20 after June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for 21 reckless homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 22 of the Criminal Code of 1961 if the offense was committed on 23 or after January 1, 1999, and when the sentence is imposed 24 for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on or after 25 the effective date of this Amendatory Act of the 93rd General 26 Assembly, the judge's statement, to be given after 27 pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following: 28 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 29 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 30 in prison as a result of this sentence.

Therefore, this defendant will serve at least 3 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 4 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the 5 period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... 6 months. If the defendant, because of his or her own 7 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional 8 regulations receives lesser credit, the actual time served in 9 prison will be longer." 10 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first 11 degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June 12 19, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after 13 pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following: 14 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 15 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 16 in prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of 17 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois 18 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of 19 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this 20 case, the defendant is not entitled to good conduct credit. 21 Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her 22 sentence." 23 When the sentence is imposed for any offense that results 24 in incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility 25 committed as a result of the use of, abuse of, or addiction 26 to alcohol or a controlled substance and committed on or 27 after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd 28 General Assembly, the judge's statement, in addition to any 29 other judge's statement required under this Section, to be 30 given after pronouncing the sentence, shall include the 31 following: 32 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of 33 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend 34 in prison as a result of this sentence.
