Public Act 101-0406 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 5-6-4 as follows:
| ||||
(730 ILCS 5/5-6-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-4)
| ||||
Sec. 5-6-4. Violation, Modification or Revocation of | ||||
Probation, of
Conditional Discharge or Supervision or of a | ||||
sentence of county impact
incarceration - Hearing.
| ||||
(a) Except in cases where
conditional discharge or | ||||
supervision was imposed for a petty offense as
defined in | ||||
Section 5-1-17, when a petition is filed charging a violation | ||||
of
a condition, the court may:
| ||||
(1) in the case of probation violations, order the | ||||
issuance of a notice
to the offender to be present by the | ||||
County Probation Department or such
other agency | ||||
designated by the court to handle probation matters; and in
| ||||
the case of conditional discharge or supervision | ||||
violations, such notice
to the offender shall be issued by | ||||
the Circuit Court Clerk;
and in the case of a violation of | ||||
a sentence of county impact incarceration,
such notice | ||||
shall be issued by the Sheriff;
| ||||
(2) order a summons to the offender to be present for |
hearing; or
| ||
(3) order a warrant for the offender's arrest where | ||
there is danger of
his fleeing the jurisdiction or causing | ||
serious harm to others or when the
offender fails to answer | ||
a summons or notice from the clerk of the court or
Sheriff.
| ||
Personal service of the petition for violation of probation | ||
or
the issuance of such warrant, summons or notice shall toll | ||
the period of
probation, conditional discharge, supervision, | ||
or sentence of
county impact incarceration until
the final | ||
determination of the charge, and the term of probation,
| ||
conditional discharge, supervision, or sentence of county | ||
impact
incarceration shall not run until the hearing and
| ||
disposition of the petition for violation.
| ||
(b) The court shall conduct a hearing of the alleged | ||
violation. The
court shall admit the offender to bail pending | ||
the hearing unless the
alleged violation is itself a criminal | ||
offense in which case the
offender shall be admitted to bail on | ||
such terms as are provided in the
Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||
1963, as amended. In any case where an
offender remains | ||
incarcerated only as a result of his alleged violation of
the | ||
court's earlier order of probation, supervision, conditional
| ||
discharge, or county impact incarceration such hearing shall be | ||
held within
14 days of the onset of
said incarceration, unless | ||
the alleged violation is the commission of
another offense by | ||
the offender during the period of probation, supervision
or | ||
conditional discharge in which case such hearing shall be held |
within
the time limits described in Section 103-5 of the Code | ||
of Criminal
Procedure of 1963, as amended.
| ||
(c) The State has the burden of going forward with the | ||
evidence and
proving the violation by the preponderance of the | ||
evidence. The evidence
shall be presented in open court with | ||
the right of confrontation,
cross-examination, and | ||
representation by counsel.
| ||
(d) Probation, conditional discharge, periodic | ||
imprisonment and
supervision shall not be revoked for failure | ||
to comply with conditions
of a sentence or supervision, which | ||
imposes financial obligations upon the
offender unless such | ||
failure is due to his willful refusal to pay.
| ||
(e) If the court finds that the offender has violated a | ||
condition at
any time prior to the expiration or termination of | ||
the period, it may
continue him on the existing sentence, with | ||
or without modifying or
enlarging the conditions, or may impose | ||
any other sentence that was
available under Article 4.5 of | ||
Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the Illinois | ||
Vehicle Code at the time of initial sentencing.
If the court | ||
finds that the person has failed to successfully complete his | ||
or
her sentence to a county impact incarceration program, the | ||
court may impose any
other sentence that was available under | ||
Article 4.5 of Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the | ||
Illinois Vehicle Code at the time of initial
sentencing,
except | ||
for a sentence of probation or conditional discharge. If the | ||
court finds that the offender has violated paragraph (8.6) of |
subsection (a) of Section 5-6-3, the court shall revoke the | ||
probation of the offender. If the court finds that the offender | ||
has violated subsection (o) of Section 5-6-3.1, the court shall | ||
revoke the supervision of the offender.
| ||
(f) The conditions of probation, of conditional discharge, | ||
of
supervision, or of a sentence of county impact incarceration | ||
may be
modified by the court on motion of the supervising | ||
agency or on its own motion or at the request of the offender | ||
after
notice and a hearing.
| ||
(g) A judgment revoking supervision, probation, | ||
conditional
discharge, or a sentence of county impact | ||
incarceration is a final
appealable order.
| ||
(h) Resentencing after revocation of probation, | ||
conditional
discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county | ||
impact
incarceration shall be under Article 4. The term on
| ||
probation, conditional discharge or supervision shall not be | ||
credited by
the court against a sentence of imprisonment or | ||
periodic imprisonment
unless the court orders otherwise. The | ||
amount of credit to be applied against a sentence of | ||
imprisonment or periodic imprisonment when the defendant | ||
served a term or partial term of periodic imprisonment shall be | ||
calculated upon the basis of the actual days spent in | ||
confinement rather than the duration of the term.
| ||
(i) Instead of filing a violation of probation, conditional | ||
discharge,
supervision, or a sentence of county impact | ||
incarceration, an agent or
employee of the
supervising agency |
with the concurrence of his or
her
supervisor may serve on the | ||
defendant a Notice of Intermediate Sanctions.
The
Notice shall | ||
contain the technical violation or violations involved, the | ||
date
or dates of the violation or violations, and the | ||
intermediate sanctions to be
imposed. Upon receipt of the | ||
Notice, the defendant shall immediately accept or
reject the | ||
intermediate sanctions. If the sanctions are accepted, they | ||
shall
be imposed immediately. If the intermediate sanctions are | ||
rejected or the
defendant does not respond to the Notice, a | ||
violation of probation, conditional
discharge, supervision, or | ||
a sentence of county impact incarceration
shall be immediately | ||
filed with the court. The
State's Attorney and the sentencing | ||
court shall be notified of the Notice of
Sanctions. Upon | ||
successful completion of the intermediate sanctions, a court
| ||
may not revoke probation, conditional discharge, supervision, | ||
or a
sentence of county impact incarceration or impose
| ||
additional sanctions for the same violation.
A notice of | ||
intermediate sanctions may not be issued for any violation of
| ||
probation, conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence | ||
of county
impact incarceration which could warrant an
| ||
additional, separate felony charge.
The intermediate sanctions | ||
shall include a term of home detention as provided
in Article | ||
8A of Chapter V of this Code for multiple or repeat violations | ||
of
the terms and conditions of a sentence of probation, | ||
conditional discharge, or
supervision. | ||
(j) When an offender is re-sentenced after revocation of |
probation that was imposed in combination with a sentence of | ||
imprisonment for the same offense, the aggregate of the | ||
sentences may not exceed the maximum term authorized under | ||
Article 4.5 of Chapter V.
| ||
(k)(1) On and after the effective date of this amendatory | ||
Act of the 101st General Assembly, this subsection (k) shall | ||
apply to arrest warrants in Cook County only. An arrest
warrant | ||
issued under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) when the | ||
underlying conviction is for the offense of theft, retail | ||
theft, or possession of a controlled substance shall
remain | ||
active for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date the | ||
warrant was issued unless a motion to extend the warrant is | ||
filed by the office of the State's Attorney or by, or on behalf | ||
of, the agency supervising the wanted person. A motion to
| ||
extend the warrant shall be filed within one year before the | ||
warrant expiration date
and notice shall be provided to the
| ||
office of the sheriff. | ||
(2) If a motion to extend a warrant issued under paragraph | ||
(3)
of subsection (a) is not filed,
the warrant shall be | ||
quashed and recalled as a
matter of law under paragraph (1) of | ||
this subsection (k) and
the wanted person's period of | ||
probation, conditional
discharge, or supervision shall | ||
terminate unsatisfactorily as
a matter of law. | ||
