    AN ACT concerning criminal law.

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


 
    Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended  by 
changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
 



    (730 ILCS 5/5-6-1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)


    Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional

Discharge and Disposition of Supervision.
The General Assembly 
finds that in order to protect the public, the
criminal justice 
system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation

by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair 
punishments and
intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each 
circuit shall adopt a system of
structured, intermediate 
sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions
of a 
sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of

supervision.

    (a) Except where specifically prohibited by other

provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence
of 
probation or conditional discharge upon an offender
unless, 
having regard to the nature and circumstance of
the offense, 
and to the history, character and condition
of the offender, 
the court is of the opinion that:


        (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is 
    necessary
for the protection of the public; or


        (2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate

    the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be

    inconsistent with the ends of justice; or

        (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or 
    consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted 
    into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug 
    Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the 
    public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.

    The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of 
probation,
conditional discharge, or supervision, that the 
probation agency may invoke any
sanction from the list of 
intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of
the 
circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the 
sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, 
subject to the provisions of
Section 5-6-4 of this Act.

    (b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional

discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion
that 
neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic
imprisonment 
nor of probation supervision is appropriate.

    (c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation

by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a

finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the
imposition 
of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the 
defendant,
if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A 
misdemeanor, as
defined by the following provisions of the 
Criminal Code of 1961: Sections
11-9.1; 12-3.2; 12-15; 26-5; 
31-1; 31-6; 31-7; subsections (b) and (c) of Section
21-1;

paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection 
(a) of Section
24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of 
Section
3.01,
3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care
for Animals 
Act; or (iii)
felony.
If the defendant
is not barred from 
receiving an order for supervision as provided in this

subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after 
considering the
circumstances of the offense, and the history,

character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the 
opinion
that:


        (1) the offender is not likely to commit further 
    crimes;


        (2) the defendant and the public would be best served 
    if the
defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and


        (3) in the best interests of justice an order of 
    supervision
is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise 
    permitted under this Code.

    (d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a 
defendant charged
with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois 
Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local
ordinance when 
the defendant has previously been:


        (1) convicted for a violation of Section 11-501 of
the 
    Illinois Vehicle
Code or a similar provision of a
local 
    ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of another state; 
    or


        (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section 
    11-501 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code or a similar provision 
    of a local ordinance or any similar law
or ordinance of 
    another state; or


        (3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts 
    supporting
a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation 
    of Section 11-503 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar 
    provision of a local ordinance or any
similar law or 
    ordinance of another state, and the
plea or stipulation was 
    the result of a plea agreement.

    The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting

authority with regard to the standards set forth in this 
Section.

    (e) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a 
defendant
charged with violating Section 16A-3 of the Criminal 
Code of 1961 if said
defendant has within the last 5 years 
been:


        (1) convicted for a violation of Section 16A-3 of the 
    Criminal Code of
1961; or


        (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section 
    16A-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961.

    The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting 
authority with
regard to the standards set forth in this 
Section.

    (f) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a 
defendant
charged with violating Sections 15-111, 15-112, 
15-301, paragraph (b)
of Section 6-104, Section 11-605, or 
Section 11-1414
of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar 
provision of a local ordinance.

    (g) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (i) of this 
Section, the
provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a

defendant charged with violating Section
3-707, 3-708, 3-710, 
or 5-401.3
of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision 
of a local ordinance if the
defendant has within the last 5 
years been:


        (1) convicted for a violation of Section 3-707, 3-708, 
    3-710, or 5-401.3
of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar 
    provision of a local
ordinance; or


        (2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section 
    3-707, 3-708, 3-710,
or 5-401.3 of the Illinois Vehicle 
    Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance.

    The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting 
authority with
regard to the standards set forth in this 
Section.

    (h) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a 
defendant under
the age of 21 years charged with violating a 
serious traffic offense as defined
in Section 1-187.001 of the 
Illinois Vehicle Code:


        (1) unless the defendant, upon payment of the fines, 
    penalties, and costs
provided by law, agrees to attend and 
    successfully complete a traffic safety
program approved by 
    the court under standards set by the Conference of Chief

    Circuit Judges.  The accused shall be responsible for 
    payment of any traffic
safety program fees.  If the accused 
    fails to file a certificate of
successful completion on or 
    before the termination date of the supervision
order, the 
    supervision shall be summarily revoked and conviction 
    entered.  The
provisions of Supreme Court Rule 402 relating 
    to pleas of guilty do not apply
in cases when a defendant 
    enters a guilty plea under this provision; or


        (2) if the defendant has previously been sentenced 
    under the provisions of
paragraph (c) on or after January 
    1, 1998 for any serious traffic offense as
defined in 
    Section 1-187.001 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.

    (i) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a 
defendant charged
with violating Section 3-707 of the Illinois

defendant has been assigned supervision
for a violation of 
Section 3-707 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar

provision of a local ordinance.

    (j) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
