inmate to the unextended confines of the penitentiary. Such
transfer shall be made only with the consent of the inmate.
The willful failure of a prisoner to remain within the
extended limits of his or her confinement or to return within

the property owner,
(2) in the case of injury to property, the
amount of compensation shall be measured by the cost
of repair incurred and which can be substantiated by

(3) compensation under this provision is a
secondary source of compensation and shall be
reduced by any amount the property owner receives
from any other source as compensation for the loss
or injury, including, but not limited to, personal
insurance coverage,
(4) no compensation may be awarded if the
property owner was an offender or an accomplice of

19. To develop a separate statewide central adjudicatory
and dispositional records system for persons under 19 years
of age who have been adjudicated delinquent minors and to
make information available to local registered participating
police youth officers so that police youth officers will be
able to obtain rapid access to the juvenile's background from
other jurisdictions to the end that the police youth officers
can make appropriate dispositions which will best serve the
interest of the child and the community. Information
maintained in the adjudicatory and dispositional record
system shall be limited to the incidents or offenses for
which the minor was adjudicated delinquent by a court, and a
copy of the court's dispositional order. All individually
identifiable records in the adjudicatory and dispositional
records system shall be destroyed when the person reaches 19
years of age.
20. To develop rules which guarantee the confidentiality
of such individually identifiable adjudicatory and
dispositional records except when used for the following:

State's Attorney in connection with proceedings under the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987; or
(b) inquiries from registered police youth
officers.
For the purposes of this Act "police youth officer" means

Sheriff or chief of police, as the case may be, to specialize
in youth problems.

State; and to establish, charge, collect and receive fees or
moneys based on the cost of providing responses to requests
for criminal history record information pursuant to positive
identification and any Illinois or federal law authorizing
access to some aspect of such information and to prescribe
the form and manner for requesting and furnishing such
information to the requestor on such terms and conditions as
in the judgment of the Director are in the best interest of
the State, provided fees for requesting and furnishing
criminal history record information may be waived for
requests in the due administration of the criminal laws. The
Department may also charge, collect and receive fees or
moneys equivalent to the cost of providing electronic data
processing lines or related telecommunication services to
local governments, but only when such services can be
provided by the Department at a cost less than that
experienced by said local governments through other means.

deposit in the Fund and unexpended and unobligated on that
date) from the Fund to the General Revenue Fund.

(730 ILCS 5/5-9-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-9-1)
Sec. 5-9-1. Authorized fines.
(a) An offender may be sentenced to pay a fine which
shall not exceed for each offense:
(1) for a felony, $10,000 or the amount specified
in the offense, whichever is greater, or where the
offender is a corporation, $50,000 or the amount
specified in the offense, whichever is greater;
(2) for a Class A misdemeanor, $1,000 or the amount
specified in the offense, whichever is greater;
(3) for a Class B or Class C misdemeanor, $500;
(4) for a petty offense, $500 or the amount
specified in the offense, whichever is less;
(5) for a business offense, the amount specified in
the statute defining that offense.
(b) A fine may be imposed in addition to a sentence of
conditional discharge, probation, periodic imprisonment, or
imprisonment.
(c) There shall be added to every fine imposed in
sentencing for a criminal or traffic offense, except an
offense relating to parking or registration, or offense by a
pedestrian, an additional penalty of $5 $4 for each $40, or
fraction thereof, of fine imposed. The additional penalty of
$5 $4 for each $40, or fraction thereof, of fine imposed, if
not otherwise assessed, shall also be added to every fine
imposed upon a plea of guilty, stipulation of facts or
findings of guilty, resulting in a judgment of conviction, or
order of supervision in criminal, traffic, local ordinance,
county ordinance, and conservation cases (except parking,
registration, or pedestrian violations), or upon a sentence
of probation without entry of judgment under Section 10 of
the Cannabis Control Act or Section 410 of the Controlled
Substances Act.
Such additional amounts shall be assessed by the court
imposing the fine and shall be collected by the Circuit Clerk
in addition to the fine and costs in the case. Each such
additional penalty shall be remitted by the Circuit Clerk
within one month after receipt to the State Treasurer. The
State Treasurer shall deposit $1 for each $40, or fraction
thereof, of fine imposed into the LEADS Maintenance Fund.
The remaining surcharge amount shall be deposited for deposit
into the Traffic and Criminal Conviction Surcharge Fund,
unless the fine, costs or additional amounts are subject to
disbursement by the circuit clerk under Section 27.5 of the
Clerks of Courts Act. Such additional penalty shall not be
considered a part of the fine for purposes of any reduction
in the fine for time served either before or after
sentencing. Not later than March 1 of each year the Circuit
Clerk shall submit a report of the amount of funds remitted
to the State Treasurer under this subsection (c) during the
preceding calendar year. Except as otherwise provided by
Supreme Court Rules, if a court in imposing a fine against an
offender levies a gross amount for fine, costs, fees and
penalties, the amount of the additional penalty provided for
herein shall be computed on the amount remaining after
deducting from the gross amount levied all fees of the
Circuit Clerk, the State's Attorney and the Sheriff. After
deducting from the gross amount levied the fees and
additional penalty provided for herein, less any other
additional penalties provided by law, the clerk shall remit
the net balance remaining to the entity authorized by law to
receive the fine imposed in the case. For purposes of this
Section "fees of the Circuit Clerk" shall include, if
applicable, the fee provided for under Section 27.3a of the
Clerks of Courts Act and the fee, if applicable, payable to
the county in which the violation occurred pursuant to
Section 5-1101 of the Counties Code.
(c-5) In addition to the fines imposed by subsection
(c), any person convicted or receiving an order of
supervision for driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs shall pay an additional $25 fee to the clerk. This
additional fee, less 2 1/2% that shall be used to defray
administrative costs incurred by the clerk, shall be remitted
by the clerk to the Treasurer within 60 days after receipt
for deposit into the Trauma Center Fund. This additional fee
of $25 shall not be considered a part of the fine for
purposes of any reduction in the fine for time served either
before or after sentencing. Not later than March 1 of each
year the Circuit Clerk shall submit a report of the amount of
funds remitted to the State Treasurer under this subsection
(c-5) during the preceding calendar year.
The Circuit Clerk may accept payment of fines and costs
by credit card from an offender who has been convicted of a
traffic offense, petty offense or misdemeanor and may charge
the service fee permitted where fines and costs are paid by
credit card provided for in Section 27.3b of the Clerks of
Courts Act.
(d) In determining the amount and method of payment of a
fine, except for those fines established for violations of
Chapter 15 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, the court shall
consider:
(1) the financial resources and future ability of
the offender to pay the fine; and
(2) whether the fine will prevent the offender from
making court ordered restitution or reparation to the
victim of the offense; and
(3) in a case where the accused is a dissolved
corporation and the court has appointed counsel to
represent the corporation, the costs incurred either by
the county or the State for such representation.
(e) The court may order the fine to be paid forthwith or
within a specified period of time or in installments.
(f) All fines, costs and additional amounts imposed
under this Section for any violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and
11 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance, and any violation of the Child Passenger
Protection Act, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
shall be collected and disbursed by the circuit clerk as
provided under Section 27.5 of the Clerks of Courts Act.
