|
| 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 Sections 5-10 and 5-20 as follows: | 6 | | (705 ILCS 135/5-10)
| 7 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2022) | 8 | | Sec. 5-10. Schedules; payment.
| 9 | | (a) In each case, the court shall order an assessment at | 10 | | the time of sentencing, as set forth in this Act, for a | 11 | | defendant to pay in addition to any fine, restitution, or | 12 | | forfeiture ordered by the court when the defendant is | 13 | | convicted of, pleads guilty to, or is placed on court | 14 | | supervision for a violation of a statute of this State or a | 15 | | similar local ordinance. The court may order a fine, | 16 | | restitution, or forfeiture on any violation that is being | 17 | | sentenced but shall order only one assessment from the | 18 | | Schedule of Assessments 1 through 13 of this Act for all | 19 | | sentenced violations in a case, that being the schedule | 20 | | applicable to the highest classified offense violation that is | 21 | | being sentenced, plus any conditional assessments under | 22 | | Section 15-70 of this Act applicable to any sentenced | 23 | | violation in the case. |
| | | HB0350 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB102 10102 LNS 15423 b |
|
| 1 | | (b) Before the court orders an assessment, the court shall | 2 | | make a determination of the defendant's ability to pay the | 3 | | assessment. If the court determines that the defendant is | 4 | | unable to pay the assessment, the court may reduce the | 5 | | assessment or waive the assessment in the court's discretion. | 6 | | If the court finds that the schedule of assessments will cause | 7 | | an undue burden on any victim in a case or if the court orders | 8 | | community service or some other punishment in place of the | 9 | | applicable schedule of assessments, the court may reduce the | 10 | | amount set forth in the applicable schedule of assessments or | 11 | | not order the applicable schedule of assessments. If the court | 12 | | reduces the amount set forth in the applicable schedule of | 13 | | assessments, then all recipients of the funds collected will | 14 | | receive a prorated amount to reflect the reduction. | 15 | | (c) The court may order the assessments to be paid | 16 | | forthwith or within a specified period of time or in | 17 | | installments. | 18 | | (c-3) Excluding any ordered conditional assessment, if
the | 19 | | assessment is not paid within the period of probation, | 20 | | conditional
discharge, or supervision to which the defendant | 21 | | was originally sentenced,
the court may extend the period of | 22 | | probation, conditional discharge, or
supervision under Section | 23 | | 5-6-2 or 5-6-3.1 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, as | 24 | | applicable, until the assessment is paid or until
successful | 25 | | completion of public or community service set forth in
| 26 | | subsection (b) of Section 5-20 of this Act or the successful |
| | | HB0350 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB102 10102 LNS 15423 b |
|
| 1 | | completion of the substance abuse
intervention or treatment | 2 | | program set forth in subsection (c-5) of this Section. | 3 | | (c-5) Excluding any ordered conditional assessment, the | 4 | | court may suspend the collection of the assessment; provided, | 5 | | the defendant agrees to enter a substance
abuse intervention | 6 | | or treatment program approved by the court; and further
| 7 | | provided that the defendant agrees to pay for all or some | 8 | | portion of the
costs associated with the intervention or | 9 | | treatment program. In this case,
the collection of the | 10 | | assessment shall be
suspended during the defendant's | 11 | | participation in the approved
intervention or treatment | 12 | | program. Upon successful
completion of the program, the | 13 | | defendant may apply to the court to reduce
the assessment | 14 | | imposed under this Section by any amount actually paid
by the | 15 | | defendant for his or her participation in the program. The | 16 | | court shall not
reduce the assessment under this subsection | 17 | | unless the defendant
establishes to the satisfaction of the | 18 | | court that he or she has successfully
completed the | 19 | | intervention or treatment program. If the defendant's
| 20 | | participation is for any reason terminated before his or her | 21 | | successful completion
of the intervention or treatment | 22 | | program, collection of the entire
assessment imposed under | 23 | | this Act shall be enforced. Nothing in this
Section shall be | 24 | | deemed to affect or suspend any other fines, restitution
| 25 | | costs, forfeitures, or assessments imposed under this or any | 26 | | other Act. |

|
| 1 | | (d) Except as provided in Section 5-15 of this Act, the | 2 | | defendant shall pay to the clerk of the court and the clerk | 3 | | shall remit the assessment to the appropriate entity as set | 4 | | forth in the ordered schedule of assessments within one month | 5 | | of its receipt. | 6 | | (e) Unless a court ordered payment schedule is implemented | 7 | | or the assessment
requirements of this Act are waived under a | 8 | | court order, the clerk of
the circuit court may add to any | 9 | | unpaid assessments under this Act a delinquency
amount equal | 10 | | to 5% of the unpaid assessments that remain unpaid after 30 | 11 | | days, 10% of
the unpaid assessments that remain unpaid after | 12 | | 60 days, and 15% of the unpaid assessments
that remain unpaid | 13 | | after 90 days. Notice to those parties may be made by
signage | 14 | | posting or publication. The additional delinquency amounts | 15 | | collected under this Section shall
be deposited into the | 16 | | Circuit Clerk Operations and Administration Fund and used to | 17 | | defray additional administrative costs incurred by the clerk | 18 | | of the
circuit court in collecting unpaid assessments.

|
| 1 | | (b) Excluding any ordered conditional assessment, a | 2 | | defendant who has been ordered to pay an assessment may | 3 | | petition
the court to convert all or part of the assessment | 4 | | into court-approved
public or community service. One hour of | 5 | | public or community service shall
be equivalent to the value | 6 | | of one hour of work at the State minimum wage as provided in | 7 | | the Minimum Wage Law or the minimum hourly wage in the | 8 | | municipality where the defendant resides, whichever is | 9 | | greater, as calculated by the Department of Labor. On the | 10 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General | 11 | | Assembly and annually thereafter, the Director of Labor shall | 12 | | publish the Illinois minimum wage and the minimum wages of | 13 | | each municipality in this State that has enacted by ordinance | 14 | | a minimum wage that is greater than the State minimum wage. The | 15 | | Director of Labor shall update the list if the State or | 16 | | municipal minimum wage is changed by law or if a municipality | 17 | | enacts an ordinance increasing its minimum wage that is | 18 | | greater than the State minimum wage. The Director of Labor | 19 | | shall send the published minimum wage list and updates to the | 20 | | Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to be provided to | 21 | | each judicial circuit in this State $4 of assessment . The | 22 | | performance of this public or
community service shall be a | 23 | | condition of probation, conditional
discharge, or supervision | 24 | | and shall be in addition to the performance of any
other period | 25 | | of public or community service ordered by the court or | 26 | | required
by law.
