24     authorized under Section 5-8-1 for the 2 most serious
25     felonies involved. When sentenced only for misdemeanors, a
26     defendant shall not be consecutively sentenced to more than

 

 

SB2384 - 16 - LRB095 17440 RLC 43512 b

1     the maximum for one Class A misdemeanor.
2         (2) For sentences imposed under the law in effect on or
3     after February 1, 1978, the aggregate of consecutive
4     sentences for offenses that were committed as part of a
5     single course of conduct during which there was no
6     substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective
7     shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized
8     under Section 5-8-2 for the 2 most serious felonies
9     involved, but no such limitation shall apply for offenses
10     that were not committed as part of a single course of
11     conduct during which there was no substantial change in the
12     nature of the criminal objective. When sentenced only for
13     misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be consecutively
14     sentenced to more than the maximum for one Class A
15     misdemeanor.
16     (d) An offender serving a sentence for a misdemeanor who is
17 convicted of a felony and sentenced to imprisonment shall be
18 transferred to the Department of Corrections, and the
19 misdemeanor sentence shall be merged in and run concurrently
20 with the felony sentence.
21     (e) In determining the manner in which consecutive
22 sentences of imprisonment, one or more of which is for a
23 felony, will be served, the Department of Corrections shall
24 treat the offender as though he had been committed for a single
25 term with the following incidents:
26         (1) the maximum period of a term of imprisonment shall

 

 

SB2384 - 17 - LRB095 17440 RLC 43512 b

1     consist of the aggregate of the maximums of the imposed
2     indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the
3     imposed determinate sentences for felonies plus the
4     aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for
5     misdemeanors subject to paragraph (c) of this Section;
6         (2) the parole or mandatory supervised release term
7     shall be as provided in paragraph (e) of Section 5-8-1 of
8     this Code for the most serious of the offenses involved;
9         (3) the minimum period of imprisonment shall be the
10     aggregate of the minimum and determinate periods of
11     imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to paragraph (c)
12     of this Section; and
13         (4) the offender shall be awarded credit against the
14     aggregate maximum term and the aggregate minimum term of
15     imprisonment for all time served in an institution since
16     the commission of the offense or offenses and as a
17     consequence thereof at the rate specified in Section 3-6-3
18     of this Code.
19     (f) A sentence of an offender committed to the Department
20 of Corrections at the time of the commission of the offense
21 shall be served consecutive to the sentence under which he is
22 held by the Department of Corrections. However, in case such
23 offender shall be sentenced to punishment by death, the
24 sentence shall be executed at such time as the court may fix
25 without regard to the sentence under which such offender may be
26 held by the Department.

 

 

SB2384 - 18 - LRB095 17440 RLC 43512 b

1     (g) A sentence under Section 3-6-4 for escape or attempted
2 escape shall be served consecutive to the terms under which the
3 offender is held by the Department of Corrections.
4     (h) If a person charged with a felony commits a separate
5 felony while on pre-trial release or in pretrial detention in a
6 county jail facility or county detention facility, the
7 sentences imposed upon conviction of these felonies shall be
8 served consecutively regardless of the order in which the
9 judgments of conviction are entered.
10     (h-1) If a person commits a battery against a county
11 correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a
12 sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail facility,
13 then the sentence imposed upon conviction of the battery shall
14 be served consecutively with the sentence imposed upon
15 conviction of the earlier misdemeanor or felony, regardless of
16 the order in which the judgments of conviction are entered.
17     (i) If a person admitted to bail following conviction of a
18 felony commits a separate felony while free on bond or if a
19 person detained in a county jail facility or county detention
20 facility following conviction of a felony commits a separate
21 felony while in detention, any sentence following conviction of
22 the separate felony shall be consecutive to that of the
23 original sentence for which the defendant was on bond or
24 detained.
