Short description: 
CRIM CD-CRIM CHILD NEGLECT                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Criminal  Code  of  1961.   Creates  the  offense  of      
   criminal  child  neglect.   Provides  that  a caretaker who neglects a      
   child under 13 years of age commits the offense.  Establishes  factors      
   to  be considered by the trier of fact in determining whether a person      
   committed the offense.  Penalty is a Class B misdemeanor.  A second or      
   subsequent offense is a Class 4 felony.  If death or great bodily harm      
   to the child occurs, the offense is a  Class  4  felony.  Permits  the      
   court  to  impose  the  one  time special probation disposition and to      
   dismiss proceedings without adjudication of guilt upon fulfillment  by      
   the  defendant  of  terms  and  conditions imposed by the court if the      
   child survives injuries due to the neglect.                                 
          FISCAL NOTE (Dpt. of Corrections)                                    
          The corrections population impact and fiscal impact is minimal.      
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE                                                    
          No change from DOC fiscal note.                                      
          JUDICIAL NOTE                                                        
          No increase in the need for the number of judges in the State.       
          FISCAL NOTE (Office of Ill. Courts)

          HOME RULE NOTE
