730 ILCS 5/5-8-8

    Amends the Unified Code of Corrections.

Provides that the Sentencing Policy Advisory Council shall publish a report on the trends in sentencing for these offenders, the impact of the trends on the prison and probation populations, and any changes in the racial composition of the prison and probation populations that can be attributed to the changes made to sentencing by the amendatory Act.
