 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Criminal  Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
 5    changing Section 20-1.1 as follows:

 6        (720 ILCS 5/20-1.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 20-1.1)
 7        Sec.  20-1.1.   Aggravated  Arson.  (a)  A person commits
 8    aggravated arson when in the course of  committing  arson  he
 9    knowingly damages any real property, or any personal property
10    having a value of $150 or more, of another without that other
11    person's  consent,  including  all  or  any  part  of a house
12    trailer, watercraft,  motor  vehicle,  or  railroad  car,  or
13    damages,  partially  or  totally,  any building or structure,
14    including any adjacent building  or  structure,  and  (1)  he
15    knows or reasonably should  know that one or more persons are
16    present  therein or (2) any person suffers great bodily harm,
17    or permanent disability or disfigurement as a result  of  the
18    fire  or  explosion  or  (3)  a  fireman  or policeman who is
19    present at the scene acting in the line of duty,  is  injured
20    as  a  result of the fire or explosion.  For purposes of this
21    Section, property "of another"  means  a  building  or  other
22    property,  whether  real or personal, in which a person other
23    than the offender has an interest that the  offender  has  no
24    authority  to  defeat or impair, even though the offender may
25    also have an interest in the building or property.
26        (b)  Sentence. Aggravated arson is a Class X felony.
27    (Source: P.A. 84-1100.)
