    For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26, 
and 27 of this subsection, license means any driver's license, 
any traffic ticket issued when the person's driver's license 
is deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension notice issued by the 
Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's license, 
a probationary driver's license, or a temporary driver's 
license.
    (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or 
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the 
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the 
order of suspension or revocation, as the case may be, 
provided that a certified copy of a stay order of a court is 
filed with the Secretary of State. If the conviction is 
affirmed on appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate 
back to the time the original judgment of conviction was 
entered and the 6-month limitation prescribed shall not apply. 
    (c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or 
permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the 
Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in 
writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be 
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the 
last known address of the person.
    2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license 
of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this 
Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an 
occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit is 
properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a permit 
issued prior to the effective date of the suspension, unless 5 
offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred while 
operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's 
regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be 
suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior to 
operating a vehicle for occupational purposes only must submit 
the affidavit on forms to be provided by the Secretary of State 
setting forth the facts of the person's occupation. The 
affidavit shall also state the number of offenses committed 
while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's 
regular occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the 
driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed 
affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a 
permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's 
regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the 
Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the 
privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set 
forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section. If an 
affidavit is received subsequent to the effective date of this 
suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder of the 
suspension period.
    The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any 
driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a 
commercial motor vehicle.
    Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit 
required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302 
and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving privileges 
revoked without further rights.
    3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of 
this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or 
continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order 
of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind, 
continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the 
Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary 
may upon application, to relieve undue hardship (as defined by 
the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted 
driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor 
vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's 
place of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's 
employment-related duties, or to allow the petitioner to 
transport himself or herself, or a family member of the 
petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive 
necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport 
himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug remedial or 
rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service 
provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or 
herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to 
classes, as a student, at an accredited educational 
institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children, 
elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold 
driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's 
household to and from daycare. The petitioner must demonstrate 
that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably 
available and that the petitioner will not endanger the public 
safety or welfare.
        (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or 
    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating 
    Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a 
    local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or 
    Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal 
    Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is 
    recited as an element of the offense, or a similar 
    out-of-state offense, or a combination of these offenses, 
    arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if 
    issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a 
    vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition 
    interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or 
    suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
            (i) a single conviction of violating Section 
        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local 
        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or Section 
        9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code 
        of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is 
        recited as an element of the offense, or a similar 
        out-of-state offense; or
            (ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation 
        under Section 11-501.1; or
            (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1; 
    arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if 
    issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a 
    vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition 
    interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or 
    suspended due to a conviction for a violation of 
    subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) 
    of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a 
    local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that 
    person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not 
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an 
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. 
        (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the 
    use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the 
    Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not 
    to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by 
    rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions 
    relating to these fees.
        (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for 
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against 
    operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an 
    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation 
    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that 
    person's employer when used solely for employment 
    purposes. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is 
    convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section 
    11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local 
    ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this employment 
    exemption does not apply until either a one-year period 
    has elapsed during which that person had his or her 
    driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has 
    elapsed during which that person had a restricted driving 
    permit which required the use of an ignition interlock 
    device on every motor vehicle owned or operated by that 
    person.
        (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted 
    driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except 
    that all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from 
    the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued 
    under this Section shall be subject to cancellation, 
    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in 
    like manner and for like cause as a driver's license 
    issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or 
    suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more 
    offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the 
    movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for 
    the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a 
    restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as 
    a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving 
    permit, require the applicant to participate in a 
    designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The 
    Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted 
    driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully 
    complete the program.
        (F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 
    of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make 
    application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing 
    conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the 
    expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most 
    recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of 
    release from a period of imprisonment resulting from a 
    conviction of the most recent offense, whichever is later, 
    provided the person, in addition to all other requirements 
    of the Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence: 
            (i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted 
        abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or 
        consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control 
        Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois 
        Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound 
        under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or 
        methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and 
        Community Protection Act; and
            (ii) the successful completion of any 
        rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any 
        ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be 
        recommended by a properly licensed service provider 
        according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or 
        drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code. 
        In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a 
    restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the 
    Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, 
    but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and 
    the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons 
    subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) 
    of Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted 
    of more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph 
    (4), or paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501 
    of this Code shall not be eligible to apply for a 
    restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F). 
        A restricted driving permit issued under this 
    subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only 
    operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock 
    device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) 
    of Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of 
    paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The 
    Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend 
    the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under 
    this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle 
    that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or 
    for any other reason authorized under this Code. 
        A restricted driving permit issued under this 
    subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred 
    from applying for or being issued a restricted driving 
    permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a 
    violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar 
    provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in 
    another state. 
    (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of 
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State 
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the 
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use 
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, 
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the 
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver 
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the 
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made 
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other 
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected 
driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon 
request. 
    (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of 
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person 
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's 
license will be suspended one month after the date of the 
mailing of the notice. 
    (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the 
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant 
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he 
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the 
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to 
participate in a driver remedial education course and be 
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
    (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the 
Driver License Compact.
    (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted 
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose 
driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any 
provisions of this Code.
    (f) In accordance with 49 CFR 384, the Secretary of State 
may not issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of 
a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a CDL whose 
driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or 
disqualified under any provisions of this Code.

            The information derived from the juvenile law 
        enforcement records shall be kept separate from and 
        shall not become a part of the official school record 
        of that child and shall not be a public record. The 
        information shall be used solely by the appropriate 
        school official or officials whom the school has 
        determined to have a legitimate educational or safety 
        interest to aid in the proper rehabilitation of the 
        child and to protect the safety of students and 
        employees in the school. If the designated law 
        enforcement and school officials deem it to be in the 
        best interest of the minor, the student may be 
        referred to in-school or community-based social 
        services if those services are available.

        legitimate educational or safety interest by local law 
        enforcement officials about a minor who is the subject

        related to school safety shall consist of oral 
        information only, and not written juvenile law 
        enforcement records, and shall be used solely by the 
        appropriate school official or officials to protect 
        the safety of students and employees in the school and 
        aid in the proper rehabilitation of the child. The 
        information derived orally from the local law 
        enforcement officials shall be kept separate from and 
        shall not become a part of the official school record 
        of the child and shall not be a public record. This 
        limitation on the use of information about a minor who 
        is the subject of a current police investigation shall 
        in no way limit the use of this information by 
        prosecutors in pursuing criminal charges arising out 
        of the information disclosed during a police

        actual or suspected criminal activity. 
        (9) Mental health professionals on behalf of the 
    Department of Corrections or the Department of Human

    persons commitment proceedings.

    with that park district and who has been adjudicated a 
    juvenile delinquent for any of the offenses listed in

transmit to the Department of Corrections, the Illinois State 
Police, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation any fingerprint

shall transmit to the Illinois State Police copies of

2012, a Class X or Class 1 felony, a forcible felony as defined 
in Section 2-8 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal 
Code of 2012, or a Class 2 or greater felony under the Cannabis 
Control Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the 
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or 
Chapter 4 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, pursuant to Section 5 
of the Criminal Identification Act. Information reported to 
the Department pursuant to this Section may be maintained with 
records that the Department files pursuant to Section 2.1 of 
the Criminal Identification Act. Nothing in this Act prohibits 
a law enforcement agency from fingerprinting a minor taken 
into custody or arrested before the minor's 18th birthday for 
an offense other than those listed in this paragraph (2).
    (C) The records of law enforcement officers, or of an 
independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit 
of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct 
of law enforcement officers, concerning all minors under 18 
years of age must be maintained separate from the records of 
arrests and may not be open to public inspection or their 
contents disclosed to the public. For purposes of obtaining 
documents under this Section, a civil subpoena is not an order 
of the court.
        (1) In cases where the law enforcement, or independent 
    agency, records concern a pending juvenile court case, the 
    party seeking to inspect the records shall provide actual 
    notice to the attorney or guardian ad litem of the minor

    court case that is no longer pending, the party seeking to 
    inspect the records shall provide actual notice to the 
    minor or the minor's parent or legal guardian, and the 
    matter shall be referred to the chief judge presiding over 
    matters pursuant to this Act.
        (3) In determining whether the records should be 
    available for inspection, the court shall consider the 
    minor's interest in confidentiality and rehabilitation 
    over the moving party's interest in obtaining the 
    information. Any records obtained in violation of this 
    subsection (C) shall not be admissible in any criminal or 
    civil proceeding, or operate to disqualify a minor from 
    subsequently holding public office or securing employment, 
    or operate as a forfeiture of any public benefit, right, 
    privilege, or right to receive any license granted by 
    public authority. 
    (D) Nothing contained in subsection (C) of this Section 
shall prohibit the inspection or disclosure to victims and 
witnesses of photographs contained in the records of law 
enforcement agencies when the inspection and disclosure is 
conducted in the presence of a law enforcement officer for the 
purpose of the identification or apprehension of any person 
subject to the provisions of this Act or for the investigation 
or prosecution of any crime.
    (E) Law enforcement officers, and personnel of an 
independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit 
of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct 
of law enforcement officers, may not disclose the identity of 
any minor in releasing information to the general public as to 
the arrest, investigation or disposition of any case involving 
a minor.
    (F) Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit law 
enforcement agencies from communicating with each other by 
letter, memorandum, teletype, or intelligence alert bulletin 
or other means the identity or other relevant information 
pertaining to a person under 18 years of age if there are 
reasonable grounds to believe that the person poses a real and 
present danger to the safety of the public or law enforcement 
officers. The information provided under this subsection (F) 
shall remain confidential and shall not be publicly disclosed, 
except as otherwise allowed by law.
    (G) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the right of a 
Civil Service Commission or appointing authority of any 
federal government, state, county or municipality examining 
the character and fitness of an applicant for employment with 
a law enforcement agency, correctional institution, or fire 
department from obtaining and examining the records of any law 
enforcement agency relating to any record of the applicant 
having been arrested or taken into custody before the 
applicant's 18th birthday.
    (G-5) Information identifying victims and alleged victims 
of sex offenses shall not be disclosed or open to the public 
under any circumstances. Nothing in this Section shall 
prohibit the victim or alleged victim of any sex offense from 
voluntarily disclosing this identity. 
    (H) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 
apply to law enforcement records of a minor who has been 
arrested or taken into custody on or after January 1, 2014 (the 
effective date of Public Act 98-61). 
    (H-5) Nothing in this Section shall require any court or 
adjudicative proceeding for traffic, boating, fish and game 
law, or municipal and county ordinance violations to be closed 
to the public. 
    (I) Willful violation of this Section is a Class C 
misdemeanor and each violation is subject to a fine of $1,000. 
This subsection (I) shall not apply to the person who is the 
subject of the record.
    (J) A person convicted of violating this Section is liable 
for damages in the amount of $1,000 or actual damages, 
whichever is greater.

forfeited to the spouse or family member and the title to the 
vehicle shall be transferred to the spouse or family member 
who is properly licensed and who requires the use of the 
vehicle for employment or family transportation purposes. A 
written declaration of forfeiture of a vehicle under this 
Section shall be sufficient cause for the title to be 
transferred to the spouse or family member. The provisions of 
this paragraph shall apply only to one forfeiture per vehicle. 
If the vehicle is the subject of a subsequent forfeiture 
proceeding by virtue of a subsequent conviction of either 
spouse or the family member, the spouse or family member to 
whom the vehicle was forfeited under the first forfeiture 
proceeding may not utilize the provisions of this paragraph in 
another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of the vehicle 
seized owns more than one vehicle, the procedure set out in 
this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
    (e) In addition, property subject to forfeiture under 
Section 40 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus 
Prevention Act may be seized and forfeited under this Article.

    present threat to the safety of any person or persons or 
    the community, based on the specific articulable facts of 
    the case;

        (7) the defendant is charged with an attempt to commit 
    any charge listed in paragraphs (1) through (6.5), and it 
    is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release poses a 
    real and present threat to the safety of any person or 
    persons or the community, based on the specific 
    articulable facts of the case; or 
        (8) the person has a high likelihood of willful flight 
    to avoid prosecution and is charged with:
            (A) Any felony described in subdivisions (a)(1) 
        through (a)(7) of this Section; or
            (B) A felony offense other than a Class 4 offense. 
    (b) If the charged offense is a felony, as part of the 
detention hearing, the court shall determine whether there is 
probable cause the defendant has committed an offense, unless 
a hearing pursuant to Section 109-3 of this Code has already 
been held or a grand jury has returned a true bill of 
indictment against the defendant. If there is a finding of no 
probable cause, the defendant shall be released. No such 
finding is necessary if the defendant is charged with a 
misdemeanor.
    (c) Timing of petition. 
        (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to 
    the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or 
    within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section 
    110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon 
    reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such 
    petition is pending before the court, the defendant if 
    previously released shall not be detained.
        (2) Upon filing, the court shall immediately hold a 
    hearing on the petition unless a continuance is requested. 
    If a continuance is requested and granted, the hearing 
    shall be held within 48 hours of the defendant's first 
    appearance if the defendant is charged with first degree 
    murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony, 
    and within 24 hours if the defendant is charged with a 
    Class 4 or misdemeanor offense. The Court may deny or 
    grant the request for continuance. If the court decides to 
    grant the continuance, the Court retains the discretion to 
    detain or release the defendant in the time between the 
    filing of the petition and the hearing.
    (d) Contents of petition.
        (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and 
    shall state the grounds upon which it contends the 
    defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the 
    real and present threat to the safety of any person or 
    persons or the community, based on the specific 
    articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate.
        (2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent 
    petition under this Section, the State shall be required 
    to present a verified application setting forth in detail 
    any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the 
    filing of the previous petition.
    (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible 
for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of 
proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that 
    the defendant has committed an offense listed in 
    subsection (a), and
        (2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) 
    of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present 
    threat to the safety of any person or persons or the 
    community, based on the specific articulable facts of the 
    case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to, 
    a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice, 
    intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) 
    of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 
    1986, and
        (3) no condition or combination of conditions set 
    forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article 
    can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety 
    of any person or persons or the community, based on the 
    specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses 
    listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or 
    (ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in 
    paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
        (4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407 
    of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject 
    to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or 
    combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of 
    Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and 
    present threat to the safety of any person or persons or 
    the community, based on the specific articulable facts of 
    the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not 
    appear in court as required.
    (f) Conduct of the hearings.
        (1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to 
    the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history 
    available, any written or recorded statements, and the 
    substance of any oral statements made by any person, if 
    relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police 
    reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the 
    hearing.
        (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the 
    hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
        (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by 
    counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel 
    appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the 
    opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her 
    own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are 
    called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given 
    adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before 
    any hearing at which conditions of release or the 
    detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an 
    accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate 
    attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to 
    confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing 
    conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system, 
    such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be 
    undertaken consistent with constitutional protections. 
        (3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be 
    denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of 
    two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused 
    waives the right to be present physically in court, the 
    court determines that the physical health and safety of 
    any person necessary to the proceedings would be 
    endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of 
    the circuit orders use of that system due to operational 
    challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such 
    operational challenges must be documented and approved by 
    the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the 
    challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented 
    and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois 
    Courts every 6 months. 
        (4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining 
    witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall 
    petition the court for permission. When the ends of 
    justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion 
    and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The 
    court shall state on the record reasons for granting a 
    defense request to compel the presence of a complaining 
    witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial 
    detention. In making a determination under this Section, 
    the court shall state on the record the reason for 
    granting a defense request to compel the presence of a 
    complaining witness, and only grant the request if the 
    court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the 
    defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining 
    witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a 
    complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for 
    the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is 
    insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness. 
    In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a 
    complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the 
    emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The 
    pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes 
    of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery 
    do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant, 
    prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's 
    criminal history, if available, and any written or 
    recorded statements and the substance of any oral 
    statements made by any person, if in the State's 
    Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing. 
        (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence 
    in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and 
    consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial 
    concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted 
    neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or 
    other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the 
    State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for 
    impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this 
    Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
        (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or 
    a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged 
    crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or 
    seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is 
    relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against 
    the defendant.
        (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of 
    release, and detention prior to trial must be 
    individualized, and no single factor or standard may be 
    used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools 
    may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release. 
    (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of 
dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the 
defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any 
person or persons or the community, based on the specific 
articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be 
limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense 
    charged, including whether the offense is a crime of 
    violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
        (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant 
    including:
            (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal 
        history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive 
        behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may 
        include testimony or documents received in juvenile 
        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil 
        commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings. 
            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, 
        psychiatric or other similar social history which 
        tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive 
        nature, or lack of any such history.
        (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose 
    safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the 
    nature of the threat.
        (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the 
    defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding 
    them.
        (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
        (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or 
    complaining witness. 
        (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have 
    access to any weapon or weapons.
        (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any 
    other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation, 
    parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or 
    other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, 
    appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under 
    federal or state law.
        (9) Any other factors, including those listed in 
    Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a 
    reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or 
    reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior, 
    or lack of such behavior.
    (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for 
detention:
        (1) make a written finding summarizing the court's 
    reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied 
    pretrial release, including why less restrictive 
    conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to 
    the safety of any person or persons or the community, 
    based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or 
    prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;
        (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the 
    custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail 
    pending trial;
        (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable 
    opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for 
    communication with others of his or her choice by 
    visitation, mail and telephone; and
        (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as 
    required for appearances in connection with court 
    proceedings.
    (i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the 
detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this 
Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the 
offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date 
on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant 
is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by 
the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial 
release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit 
any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at 
the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting 
from a continuance granted at the request of the State with 
good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5.
    (i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant 
before the court, the judge must find that continued detention 
is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety 
of any person or persons or the community, based on the 
specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the 
defendant's willful flight from prosecution. 
    (j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be 
entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section 
denying his or her pretrial release.
    (k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under 
this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial 
release.
    (l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section 
shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the 
defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal 
proceedings.
    (m) Interest of victims. 
    (1) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's 
Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1) 
of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims 
and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity 
at this hearing to obtain a protective order. 
    (2) If the defendant is denied pretrial release, the court 
may impose a no contact provision with the victim or other 
interested party that shall be enforced while the defendant 
remains in custody.

96-1230), the rules and regulations shall provide that a 
prisoner who is serving a term of imprisonment shall receive 
one day of sentence credit for each day of his or her sentence 
of imprisonment or recommitment under Section 3-3-9. Each day 
of sentence credit shall reduce by one day the prisoner's 
period of imprisonment or recommitment under Section 3-3-9.
    (2.2) A prisoner serving a term of natural life 
imprisonment shall receive no sentence credit.
    (2.3) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this

that the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile 
Justice may award up to 180 days of earned sentence credit for 
prisoners serving a sentence of incarceration of less than 5 
years, and up to 365 days of earned sentence credit for 
prisoners serving a sentence of 5 years or longer. The 
Director may grant this credit for good conduct in specific 
instances as either Director deems proper for eligible persons 
in the custody of each Director's respective Department. The 
good conduct may include, but is not limited to, compliance 
with the rules and regulations of the Department, service to 
the Department, service to a community, or service to the 
State.
    Eligible inmates for an award of earned sentence credit 
under this paragraph (3) may be selected to receive the credit 
at either Director's or his or her designee's sole discretion. 
Eligibility for the additional earned sentence credit under 
this paragraph (3) may be based on, but is not limited to, 
participation in programming offered by the Department as 
appropriate for the prisoner based on the results of any 
available risk/needs assessment or other relevant assessments 
or evaluations administered by the Department using a 
validated instrument, the circumstances of the crime, 
demonstrated commitment to rehabilitation by a prisoner with a 
history of conviction for a forcible felony enumerated in 
Section 2-8 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the inmate's 
behavior and improvements in disciplinary history while 
incarcerated, and the inmate's commitment to rehabilitation, 
including participation in programming offered by the 
Department. 
    The Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile 
Justice shall not award sentence credit under this paragraph 
(3) to an inmate unless the inmate has served a minimum of 60 
days of the sentence, including time served in a county jail; 
except nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit 
either Director to extend an inmate's sentence beyond that 
which was imposed by the court. Prior to awarding credit under 
this paragraph (3), each Director shall make a written 
determination that the inmate:
        (A) is eligible for the earned sentence credit;
        (B) has served a minimum of 60 days, or as close to 60 
    days as the sentence will allow;
        (B-1) has received a risk/needs assessment or other

to the Governor and the General Assembly on the award of earned 
sentence credit no later than February 1 of each year. The

General Assembly. The reports must include:
        (A) the number of inmates awarded earned sentence 
    credit;
        (B) the average amount of earned sentence credit 
    awarded;
        (C) the holding offenses of inmates awarded earned 
    sentence credit; and
        (D) the number of earned sentence credit revocations. 
    (4)(A) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this 
subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall also provide 
that any prisoner who is engaged full-time in substance abuse 
programs, correctional industry assignments, educational 
programs, work-release programs or activities in accordance 
with Article 13 of Chapter III of this Code, behavior 
modification programs, life skills courses, or re-entry 
planning provided by the Department under this paragraph (4) 
and satisfactorily completes the assigned program as 
determined by the standards of the Department, shall receive 
one day of sentence credit for each day in which that prisoner 
is engaged in the activities described in this paragraph. The 
rules and regulations shall also provide that sentence credit 
may be provided to an inmate who was held in pre-trial 
detention prior to his or her current commitment to the 
Department of Corrections and successfully completed a 
full-time, 60-day or longer substance abuse program, 
educational program, behavior modification program, life 
skills course, or re-entry planning provided by the county 
department of corrections or county jail. Calculation of this 
county program credit shall be done at sentencing as provided 
in Section 5-4.5-100 of this Code and shall be included in the 
sentencing order. The rules and regulations shall also provide 
that sentence credit may be provided to an inmate who is in 
compliance with programming requirements in an adult 
transition center.
    (B) The Department shall award sentence credit under this 
paragraph (4) accumulated prior to January 1, 2020 (the 
effective date of Public Act 101-440) in an amount specified 
in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph (4) to an inmate serving 
a sentence for an offense committed prior to June 19, 1998, if 
the Department determines that the inmate is entitled to this 
sentence credit, based upon:
        (i) documentation provided by the Department that the 
    inmate engaged in any full-time substance abuse programs, 
    correctional industry assignments, educational programs, 
    behavior modification programs, life skills courses, or 
    re-entry planning provided by the Department under this 
    paragraph (4) and satisfactorily completed the assigned 
    program as determined by the standards of the Department 
    during the inmate's current term of incarceration; or
        (ii) the inmate's own testimony in the form of an 
    affidavit or documentation, or a third party's 
    documentation or testimony in the form of an affidavit 
    that the inmate likely engaged in any full-time substance 
    abuse programs, correctional industry assignments, 
    educational programs, behavior modification programs, life 
    skills courses, or re-entry planning provided by the 
    Department under paragraph (4) and satisfactorily 
    completed the assigned program as determined by the 
    standards of the Department during the inmate's current 
    term of incarceration.
    (C) If the inmate can provide documentation that he or she 
is entitled to sentence credit under subparagraph (B) in 
excess of 45 days of participation in those programs, the 
inmate shall receive 90 days of sentence credit. If the inmate 
cannot provide documentation of more than 45 days of 
participation in those programs, the inmate shall receive 45 
days of sentence credit. In the event of a disagreement 
between the Department and the inmate as to the amount of 
credit accumulated under subparagraph (B), if the Department 
provides documented proof of a lesser amount of days of 
participation in those programs, that proof shall control. If 
the Department provides no documentary proof, the inmate's 
proof as set forth in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) shall 
control as to the amount of sentence credit provided.
    (D) If the inmate has been convicted of a sex offense as 
defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act, 
sentencing credits under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph 
(4) shall be awarded by the Department only if the conditions 
set forth in paragraph (4.6) of subsection (a) are satisfied. 
No inmate serving a term of natural life imprisonment shall 
receive sentence credit under subparagraph (B) of this 
paragraph (4).
    (E) The rules and regulations shall provide for the 
recalculation of program credits awarded pursuant to this 
paragraph (4) prior to July 1, 2021 (the effective date of 
Public Act 101-652) at the rate set for such credits on and 
after July 1, 2021. 
    Educational, vocational, substance abuse, behavior 
modification programs, life skills courses, re-entry planning, 
and correctional industry programs under which sentence credit 
may be earned under this paragraph (4) and paragraph (4.1) of 
this subsection (a) shall be evaluated by the Department on 
the basis of documented standards. The Department shall report 
the results of these evaluations to the Governor and the 
General Assembly by September 30th of each year. The reports 
shall include data relating to the recidivism rate among 
program participants.
    Availability of these programs shall be subject to the 
limits of fiscal resources appropriated by the General 
Assembly for these purposes. Eligible inmates who are denied 
immediate admission shall be placed on a waiting list under 
criteria established by the Department. The rules and 
regulations shall provide that a prisoner who has been placed 
on a waiting list but is transferred for non-disciplinary 
reasons before beginning a program shall receive priority 
placement on the waitlist for appropriate programs at the new 
facility. The inability of any inmate to become engaged in any 
such programs by reason of insufficient program resources or 
for any other reason established under the rules and 
regulations of the Department shall not be deemed a cause of 
action under which the Department or any employee or agent of 
the Department shall be liable for damages to the inmate. The 
rules and regulations shall provide that a prisoner who begins 
an educational, vocational, substance abuse, work-release 
programs or activities in accordance with Article 13 of 
Chapter III of this Code, behavior modification program, life 
skills course, re-entry planning, or correctional industry 
programs but is unable to complete the program due to illness, 
disability, transfer, lockdown, or another reason outside of 
the prisoner's control shall receive prorated sentence credits 
for the days in which the prisoner did participate. 
    (4.1) Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this 
subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall also provide 
that an additional 90 days of sentence credit shall be awarded 
to any prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing 
while the prisoner is committed to the Department of 
Corrections. The sentence credit awarded under this paragraph 
(4.1) shall be in addition to, and shall not affect, the award 
of sentence credit under any other paragraph of this Section, 
but shall also be pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions 
set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section. 
The sentence credit provided for in this paragraph shall be 
available only to those prisoners who have not previously 
earned a high school diploma or a State of Illinois High School 
Diploma. If, after an award of the high school equivalency 
testing sentence credit has been made, the Department 
determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then the award 
shall be revoked. The Department may also award 90 days of 
sentence credit to any committed person who passed high school 
equivalency testing while he or she was held in pre-trial 
detention prior to the current commitment to the Department of 
Corrections. Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this 
subsection (a), the rules and regulations shall provide that 
an additional 120 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to 
any prisoner who obtains an associate degree while the 
prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections, 
regardless of the date that the associate degree was obtained, 
including if prior to July 1, 2021 (the effective date of 
Public Act 101-652). The sentence credit awarded under this 
paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition to, and shall not affect, 
the award of sentence credit under any other paragraph of this 
Section, but shall also be under the guidelines and 
restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of 
this Section. The sentence credit provided for in this 
paragraph (4.1) shall be available only to those prisoners who 
have not previously earned an associate degree prior to the 
current commitment to the Department of Corrections. If, after 
an award of the associate degree sentence credit has been made 
and the Department determines that the prisoner was not 
eligible, then the award shall be revoked. The Department may 
also award 120 days of sentence credit to any committed person 
who earned an associate degree while he or she was held in 
pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the 
Department of Corrections. 
    Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this subsection 
(a), the rules and regulations shall provide that an 
additional 180 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any 
prisoner who obtains a bachelor's degree while the prisoner is 
committed to the Department of Corrections. The sentence 
credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall be in addition 
to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence credit under 
any other paragraph of this Section, but shall also be under 
the guidelines and restrictions set forth in paragraph (4) of 
this subsection (a). The sentence credit provided for in this 
paragraph shall be available only to those prisoners who have 
not earned a bachelor's degree prior to the current commitment 
to the Department of Corrections. If, after an award of the 
bachelor's degree sentence credit has been made, the 
Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then 
the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180 
days of sentence credit to any committed person who earned a 
bachelor's degree while he or she was held in pre-trial 
detention prior to the current commitment to the Department of 
Corrections.
    Except as provided in paragraph (4.7) of this subsection 
(a), the rules and regulations shall provide that an 
additional 180 days of sentence credit shall be awarded to any 
prisoner who obtains a master's or professional degree while 
the prisoner is committed to the Department of Corrections. 
The sentence credit awarded under this paragraph (4.1) shall 
be in addition to, and shall not affect, the award of sentence 
credit under any other paragraph of this Section, but shall 
also be under the guidelines and restrictions set forth in 
paragraph (4) of this subsection (a). The sentence credit 
provided for in this paragraph shall be available only to 
those prisoners who have not previously earned a master's or 
professional degree prior to the current commitment to the 
Department of Corrections. If, after an award of the master's 
or professional degree sentence credit has been made, the 
Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then 
the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180 
days of sentence credit to any committed person who earned a 
master's or professional degree while he or she was held in 
pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the 
Department of Corrections.
    (4.2)(A) The rules and regulations shall also provide that 
any prisoner engaged in self-improvement programs, volunteer 
work, or work assignments that are not otherwise eligible 
activities under paragraph (4), shall receive up to 0.5 days 
of sentence credit for each day in which the prisoner is 
engaged in activities described in this paragraph. 
    (B) The rules and regulations shall provide for the award 
of sentence credit under this paragraph (4.2) for qualifying 
days of engagement in eligible activities occurring prior to 
July 1, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act 101-652). 
    (4.5) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall 
also provide that when the court's sentencing order recommends 
a prisoner for substance abuse treatment and the crime was 
committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of 
Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence 
credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless 
he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse 
treatment program. The Director of Corrections may waive the 
requirement to participate in or complete a substance abuse 
treatment program in specific instances if the prisoner is not 
a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment program for 
medical, programming, or operational reasons. Availability of 
substance abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of 
fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly for 
these purposes. If treatment is not available and the 
requirement to participate and complete the treatment has not 
been waived by the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a 
waiting list under criteria established by the Department. The 
Director may allow a prisoner placed on a waiting list to 
participate in and complete a substance abuse education class 
or attend substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a 
substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting 
list who is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to 
release may be eligible for a waiver and receive sentence 
credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the 
discretion of the Director.
    (4.6) The rules and regulations on sentence credit shall 
also provide that a prisoner who has been convicted of a sex 
offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender 
Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or 
she either has successfully completed or is participating in 
sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender 
Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to 
receive treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to 
the lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at 
either Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit 
at a rate as the Director shall determine.
    (4.7) On or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of 
Public Act 100-3), sentence credit under paragraph (3), (4), 
or (4.1) of this subsection (a) may be awarded to a prisoner 
who is serving a sentence for an offense described in 
paragraph (2), (2.3), (2.4), (2.5), or (2.6) for credit earned 
on or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act 
100-3); provided, the award of the credits under this 
paragraph (4.7) shall not reduce the sentence of the prisoner 
to less than the following amounts:
        (i) 85% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is 
    required to serve 85% of his or her sentence; or 
        (ii) 60% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is 
    required to serve 75% of his or her sentence, except if the 
    prisoner is serving a sentence for gunrunning his or her 
    sentence shall not be reduced to less than 75%.
        (iii) 100% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is 
    required to serve 100% of his or her sentence.
    (5) Whenever the Department is to release any inmate 
earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of earned 
sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this 
Section given at any time during the term, the Department 
shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not less 
than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's 
Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate 
took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney of the 
county into which the inmate will be released. The Department 
must also make identification information and a recent photo 
of the inmate being released accessible on the Internet by 
means of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate 
Early Release" on the Department's World Wide Web homepage. 
The identification information shall include the inmate's: 
name, any known alias, date of birth, physical 
characteristics, commitment offense, and county where 
conviction was imposed. The identification information shall 
be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release 
and the information may not be removed until either: 
completion of the first year of mandatory supervised release 
or return of the inmate to custody of the Department.
    (b) Whenever a person is or has been committed under 
several convictions, with separate sentences, the sentences 
shall be construed under Section 5-8-4 in granting and 
forfeiting of sentence credit.
    (c) (1) The Department shall prescribe rules and 
regulations for revoking sentence credit, including revoking 
sentence credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) 
of this Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and 
regulations establishing and requiring the use of a sanctions 
matrix for revoking sentence credit. The Department shall 
prescribe rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the 
rate of accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule 
violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations 
shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one 
year of sentence credit for any one infraction.
    (2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or 
reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an 
alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges 
therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of 
sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided 
in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the 
amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days, whether from one 
infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising 
out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the 
cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except 
where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days 
of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of 
Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The 
Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional 
sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence 
credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be 
empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to 
the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year 
for any prisoner or to increase any penalty beyond the length 
requested by the Department.
    (3) The Director of Corrections or the Director of 
Juvenile Justice, in appropriate cases, may restore sentence 
credits which have been revoked, suspended, or reduced. The 
Department shall prescribe rules and regulations governing the 
restoration of sentence credits. These rules and regulations 
shall provide for the automatic restoration of sentence 
credits following a period in which the prisoner maintains a 
record without a disciplinary violation.
    Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the 
Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section 
3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the 
sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the 
accumulation of sentence credit.
    (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or 
federal court against the State, the Department of 
Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of 
their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific 
finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the 
prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall 
conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit 
by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived 
of the sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as 
provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code. 
If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence 
credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review 
Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the 
prisoner.
    For purposes of this subsection (d):
        (1) "Frivolous" means that a pleading, motion, or 
    other filing which purports to be a legal document filed 
    by a prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the 
    following criteria:
            (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in 
        fact;
            (B) it is being presented for any improper 
        purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary 
        delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation;
            (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal 
        contentions therein are not warranted by existing law 
        or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension, 
        modification, or reversal of existing law or the 
        establishment of new law;
            (D) the allegations and other factual contentions 
        do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so 
        identified, are not likely to have evidentiary support 
        after a reasonable opportunity for further 
        investigation or discovery; or
            (E) the denials of factual contentions are not 
        warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so

    Sec. 5-6-3.6. First Time Weapon Offense Program.
    (a) The General Assembly has sought to promote public 
safety, reduce recidivism, and conserve valuable resources of 
the criminal justice system through the creation of diversion 
programs for non-violent offenders. This amendatory Act of the 
103rd General Assembly establishes a program for first-time, 
non-violent offenders charged with certain weapons possession 
offenses. The General Assembly recognizes some persons, 
particularly in areas of high crime or poverty, may have 
experienced trauma that contributes to poor decision making 
skills, and the creation of a diversionary program poses a 
greater benefit to the community and the person than 
incarceration. Under this program, a court, with the consent 
of the defendant and the State's Attorney, may sentence a 
defendant charged with an unlawful possession use of weapons 
offense under Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 or 
aggravated unlawful possession use of a weapon offense under 
Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if punishable as a 
Class 4 felony or lower, to a First Time Weapon Offense 
Program.
    (b) A defendant is not eligible for this Program if:
        (1) the offense was committed during the commission of 
    a violent offense as defined in subsection (h) of this 
    Section;
        (2) he or she has previously been convicted or placed 
    on probation or conditional discharge for any violent 
    offense under the laws of this State, the laws of any other 
    state, or the laws of the United States;
        (3) he or she had a prior successful completion of the 
    First Time Weapon Offense Program under this Section;
        (4) he or she has previously been adjudicated a 
    delinquent minor for the commission of a violent offense;
        (5) (blank); or
        (6) he or she has an existing order of protection 
    issued against him or her.
    (b-5) In considering whether a defendant shall be 
sentenced to the First Time Weapon Offense Program, the court 
shall consider the following:
        (1) the age, immaturity, or limited mental capacity of 
    the defendant;
        (2) the nature and circumstances of the offense;
        (3) whether participation in the Program is in the 
    interest of the defendant's rehabilitation, including any 
    employment or involvement in community, educational, 
    training, or vocational programs;
        (4) whether the defendant suffers from trauma, as 
    supported by documentation or evaluation by a licensed 
    professional; and
        (5) the potential risk to public safety. 
    (c) For an offense committed on or after January 1, 2018 
(the effective date of Public Act 100-3) whenever an
 eligible 
person pleads guilty to an unlawful possession use
 of weapons 
offense under Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 or 
aggravated unlawful possession use of a weapon offense under 
Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of 2012, which is 
punishable as a Class 4 felony or lower, the court, with the 
consent of the defendant and the State's Attorney, may, 
without entering a judgment, sentence the defendant to 
complete the First Time Weapon Offense Program. When a 
defendant is placed in the Program, the court shall defer 
further proceedings in the case until the conclusion of the 
period or until the filing of a petition alleging violation of 
a term or condition of the Program. Upon violation of a term or 
condition of the Program, the court may enter a judgment on its 
original finding of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided by 
law. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the 
Program, the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the 
proceedings against the person.
    (d) The Program shall be at least 6 months and not to 
exceed 24 months, as determined by the court at the 
recommendation of the Program administrator and the State's 
Attorney. The Program administrator may be appointed by the 
Chief Judge of each Judicial Circuit. 
    (e) The conditions of the Program shall be that the 
defendant:
        (1) not violate any criminal statute of this State or 
    any other jurisdiction;
        (2) refrain from possessing a firearm or other 
    dangerous weapon;
        (3) (blank);
        (4) (blank);
        (5) (blank);
        (6) (blank);
        (7) attend and participate in any Program activities 
    deemed required by the Program administrator, such as: 
    counseling sessions, in-person and over the phone 
    check-ins, and educational classes; and
        (8) (blank).
    (f) The Program may, in addition to other conditions, 
require that the defendant:
        (1) obtain or attempt to obtain employment;
        (2) attend educational courses designed to prepare the 
    defendant for obtaining a high school diploma or to work 
    toward passing high school equivalency testing or to work 
    toward completing a vocational training program;
        (3) refrain from having in his or her body the 
    presence of any illicit drug prohibited by the 
    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act or 
    the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, unless prescribed 
    by a physician, and submit samples of his or her blood or 
    urine or both for tests to determine the presence of any 
    illicit drug; 
        (4) perform community service;
        (5) pay all fines, assessments, fees, and costs; and
        (6) comply with such other reasonable conditions as 
    the court may impose. 
    (g) There may be only one discharge and dismissal under 
this Section. If a person is convicted of any offense which 
occurred within 5 years subsequent to a discharge and 
dismissal under this Section, the discharge and dismissal 
under this Section shall be admissible in the sentencing 
proceeding for that conviction as evidence in aggravation.
    (h) For purposes of this Section, "violent offense" means 
any offense in which bodily harm was inflicted or force was 
used against any person or threatened against any person; any 
offense involving the possession of a firearm or dangerous 
weapon; any offense involving sexual conduct, sexual 
penetration, or sexual exploitation; violation of an order of 
protection, stalking, hate crime, domestic battery, or any 
offense of domestic violence.
