Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.  Provides  that  a      
   defendant  charged with stalking or aggravated stalking may be held in      
   custody during a continuance of a hearing on whether the defendant may      
   be denied bail if the  defendant  has  been  previously  convicted  of      
   kidnapping.                                                                 
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the hearing provisions relating to denying bail  to      
   a  defendant  who is charged with stalking or aggravated stalking also      
   apply to a defendant charged with kidnapping or aggravated kidnapping.

          Same as previous note.                                               
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          725 ILCS 5/110-6.3                                                   
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          725 ILCS 5/111-3                from Ch. 38, par. 111-3              
          730 ILCS 5/5-5-3                from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-3           
          730 ILCS 5/5-5-4                from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-4           
          730 ILCS 5/5-8-1                from Ch. 38, par. 1005-8-1           
          730 ILCS 5/5-8-2                from Ch. 38, par. 1005-8-2           
        Deletes everything.   Amends  the  Code  of  Criminal  Procedure.      
   Provides  that,  in  all  cases  in  which  the death penalty is not a      
   possibility, if an alleged fact  (other  than  the  fact  of  a  prior      
   conviction)  is  not an element of an offense but is sought to be used      
   to increase  the  range  of  penalties  for  the  offense  beyond  the      
   statutory maximum that could otherwise be imposed for the offense, the      
   alleged  fact shall be included in the charging instrument or provided      
   to the defendant through a written notice before trial,  submitted  to      
   the  trier  of  fact as an element of the offense, and proved beyond a      
   reasonable doubt. Provides that failure to prove  the  fact  beyond  a      
   reasonable  doubt  is  not a bar to a conviction for commission of the      
   offense, but is a bar to increasing, based on that fact, the range  of      
   penalties  for  the  offense  beyond  the statutory maximum that could      
   otherwise be imposed for the offense. Provides that nothing in the new      
   provisions requires the imposition of a sentence  that  increases  the      
   range  of  penalties for the offense beyond the statutory maximum that      
   could otherwise be imposed for the offense if the imposition  of  that      
   sentence is not required by law. Provides that a charge may be amended      
   to  make  the  charge  comply  with  the  new  provisions.  Amends the      
   Sentencing Chapter of the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides  that,      
   if  a sentence is vacated on appeal or on collateral attack due to the      
   failure of the trier of fact at trial to determine beyond a reasonable      
   doubt the  existence  of  a  fact  (other  than  a  prior  conviction)      
   necessary  to  increase  the  punishment  for  the  offense beyond the      
   statutory maximum, either the defendant may be re-sentenced to a  term      
   not  to  exceed  the  maximum  or,  if  the  State files notice of its      
   intention to again seek the extended sentence, the defendant shall  be      
   afforded a new trial. Effective immediately.                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Permits the State on motion prior to  trial  to  provide  written      
   notification when it seeks an enhanced sentence.                            
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 3.                                                
        Deletes the changes made by Senate Amendment  2.   Provides  that      
   nothing  in  the  speedy  trial  provisions  of  the  Code of Criminal      
   Procedure of 1963 precludes a written notification by the State if  it      
   seeks  an  enhanced  sentence  in a non-capital case for factors other      
   than a prior conviction.
