AN ACT in relation to 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 5-9-1.2 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-9-1.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-9-1.2)
Sec. 5-9-1.2. (a) Twelve and one-half percent of all
amounts collected as fines pursuant to Section 5-9-1.1 shall
be paid into the Youth Drug Abuse Prevention Fund, which is
hereby created in the State treasury, to be used by the
Department of Human Services for the funding of programs and
services for drug-abuse treatment, and prevention and
education services, for juveniles.
(b) Eighty-seven and one-half percent of the proceeds of
all fines received pursuant to Section 5-9-1.1 shall be
transmitted to and deposited in the treasurer's office at the
level of government as follows:
(1) If such seizure was made by a combination of
law enforcement personnel representing differing units of
local government, the court levying the fine shall
equitably allocate 50% of the fine among these units of
local government and shall allocate 37 1/2% to the county
general corporate fund. In the event that the seizure was
made by law enforcement personnel representing a unit of
local government from a municipality where the number of
inhabitants exceeds 2 million in population, the court
levying the fine shall allocate 87 1/2% of the fine to
that unit of local government. If the seizure was made
by a combination of law enforcement personnel
representing differing units of local government, and at
least one of those units represents a municipality where
the number of inhabitants exceeds 2 million in
population, the court shall equitably allocate 87 1/2% of
the proceeds of the fines received among the differing
units of local government.
(2) If such seizure was made by State law
enforcement personnel, then the court shall allocate 37
1/2% to the State treasury and 50% to the county general
corporate fund.
(3) If a State law enforcement agency in
combination with a law enforcement agency or agencies of
a unit or units of local government conducted the
seizure, the court shall equitably allocate 37 1/2% of
the fines to or among the law enforcement agency or
agencies of the unit or units of local government which
conducted the seizure and shall allocate 50% to the
county general corporate fund.
(c) The proceeds of all fines allocated to the law
enforcement agency or agencies of the unit or units of local
government pursuant to subsection (b) shall be made available
to that law enforcement agency as expendable receipts for use
in the enforcement of laws regulating controlled substances
and cannabis. The proceeds of fines awarded to the State
treasury shall be deposited in a special fund known as the
Drug Traffic Prevention Fund. Monies from this fund may be
used by the Department of State Police for use in the
enforcement of laws regulating controlled substances and
cannabis; to satisfy funding provisions of the
Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act; and to defray
costs and expenses associated with returning violators of the
Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled Substances
Act only, as provided in those Acts, when punishment of the
crime shall be confinement of the criminal in the
penitentiary. Moneys in the Drug Traffic Prevention Fund
deposited from fines awarded as a direct result of
enforcement efforts of the Illinois Conservation Police may
be used by the Department of Natural Resources Office of Law
Enforcement for use in enforcing laws regulating controlled
substances and cannabis on Department of Natural Resources
regulated lands and waterways.; and All other monies shall be
paid into the general revenue fund in the State treasury.
