3     program for medical, programming, or operational reasons.
4     Availability of substance abuse treatment shall be subject
5     to the limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the

7     available and the requirement to participate and complete
8     the treatment has not been waived by the Director, the
9     prisoner shall be placed on a waiting list under criteria
10     established by the Department. The Director may allow a
11     prisoner placed on a waiting list to participate in and
12     complete a substance abuse education class or attend
13     substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a substance
14     abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting list who
15     is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to release
16     may be eligible for a waiver and receive good conduct
17     credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
18     discretion of the Director.
19         (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate

23     advance notice of the impending release to the State's
24     Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate

14 accumulation of good conduct credit.
15     (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or
16 federal court against the State, the Department of Corrections,
17 or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of their officers
18 or employees, and the court makes a specific finding that a
19 pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the prisoner is
20 frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall conduct a
21 hearing to revoke up to 180 days of good conduct credit by
22 bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived of
23 the good conduct credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
24 provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.

15         or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,

18             (D) the allegations and other factual contentions
