1		(5 ILCS 830/10-5)
2		Sec. 10-5. Gun trafficking information.
3		(a) The Illinois State Police shall use all reasonable
4		efforts, as allowed by State law and regulations, federal law
5		and regulations, and executed Memoranda of Understanding
6		between Illinois law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Bureau
7		of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in making
8		publicly available, on a regular and ongoing basis, key
9		information related to firearms used in the commission of
10		crimes in this State, including, but not limited to: reports
11		on crimes committed with firearms, locations where the crimes
12		occurred, the number of persons killed or injured in the
13		commission of the crimes, whether or not a stolen firearm was
14		used in the commission of the crimes, the state where the
15		firearms used originated, the Federal Firearms Licensee that
16		sold the firearm, the type of firearms used, if known, annual
17		statistical information concerning Firearm Owner's
18		Identification Card and concealed carry license applications,
19		revocations, and compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm
20		Owners Identification Card Act, the information required in
21		the report or on the Illinois State Police's website under
22		Section 85 of the Firearms Restraining Order Act, and firearm
23		dealer license certification inspections. The Illinois State
24		Police shall make the information available on its website,
25		which may be presented in a dashboard format, in addition to
26		electronically filing a report with the Governor and the

SB0008 Enrolled - 5 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		General Assembly. The report to the General Assembly shall be

5		(b) The Illinois State Police shall study, on a regular

11		foundations, and law enforcement agencies studying firearms
12		trafficking, provided that personally identifying information
13		is protected. For purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm
14		Owner's Identification Card number is not personally
15		identifying information, provided that no other personal
16		information of the card holder is attached to the record. The

19		Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm
20		Owner's Identification Card number itself.
21		(c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
22		State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law,
23		cooperate fully with the Illinois State Police and furnish the
24		Illinois State Police with all relevant information and

26		purpose of this Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information

SB0008 Enrolled - 6 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		Authority shall submit the information required in subsection
2		(a) of this Section to the Illinois State Police, and any other
3		information as the Illinois State Police may request, to
4		assist the Illinois State Police in carrying out its duties
5		under this Act.

16		either: (1) a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification
17		Card which has previously been issued in his or her name by the
18		Illinois State Police under the provisions of this Act; or (2)
19		a currently valid license to carry a concealed firearm which
20		has previously been issued in his or her name by the Illinois
21		State Police under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. In
22		addition, all firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by

1		dealers shall check the Illinois State Police Internet-based
2		system upon which the serial numbers of firearms that have
3		been reported stolen are available for public access for
4		individuals to ensure any firearms are not reported stolen
5		prior to the sale or transfer of a firearm under subsection
6		(a-25) of this Section. New firearms shipped directly from the
7		manufacturer are exempt from this provision.
8		(a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
9		dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that
10		person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or
11		transferring the firearm, request the Illinois State Police to

2		of subsection (a-15) of this Section to conduct the transfer
3		or the Illinois State Police with the transferee's or

5		determine the validity of the transferee's or purchaser's
6		Firearm Owner's Identification Card under State and federal
7		law, including the National Instant Criminal Background Check
8		System. This subsection shall not be effective until July 1,
9		2023. Until that date the transferor shall contact the
10		Illinois State Police with the transferee's or purchaser's
11		Firearm Owner's Identification Card number to determine the
12		validity of the card. The Illinois State Police may adopt
13		rules concerning the implementation of this subsection. The
14		Illinois State Police shall provide the seller or transferor
15		an approval number if the purchaser's Firearm Owner's
16		Identification Card is valid. Approvals issued by the Illinois
17		State Police for the purchase of a firearm pursuant to this
18		subsection are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
19		(a-15) The provisions of subsection (a-10) of this Section
20		do not apply to:
21		(1) transfers that occur at the place of business of a
22		federally licensed firearm dealer, if the federally
23		licensed firearm dealer conducts a background check on the
24		prospective recipient of the firearm in accordance with
25		Section 3.1 of this Act and follows all other applicable
26		federal, State, and local laws as if he or she were the

SB0008 Enrolled - 9 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		seller or transferor of the firearm, although the dealer
2		is not required to accept the firearm into his or her
3		inventory. The purchaser or transferee may be required by
4		the federally licensed firearm dealer to pay a fee not to
5		exceed $25 per firearm, which the dealer may retain as
6		compensation for performing the functions required under
7		this paragraph, plus the applicable fees authorized by
8		Section 3.1;
9		(2) transfers as a bona fide gift to the transferor's
10		husband, wife, son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter,

23		service or repair and the return of the firearm to the
24		gunsmith;
25		(6) temporary transfers that occur while in the home
26		of the unlicensed transferee, if the unlicensed transferee

SB0008 Enrolled - 10 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		is not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms and
2		the unlicensed transferee reasonably believes that
3		possession of the firearm is necessary to prevent imminent
4		death or great bodily harm to the unlicensed transferee;
5		(7) transfers to a law enforcement or corrections
6		agency or a law enforcement or corrections officer acting
7		within the course and scope of his or her official duties;

14		(a-20) The Illinois State Police shall develop an
15		Internet-based system for individuals to determine the
16		validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card prior to the
17		sale or transfer of a firearm. The Illinois State Police shall
18		have the Internet-based system updated and available for use
19		by January 1, 2024. The Illinois State Police shall adopt
20		rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this
21		system; but no rule shall allow the Illinois State Police to
22		retain records in contravention of State and federal law. On
23		or before January 1, 2027, the Internet-based system shall
24		include a written notice, in both English and Spanish, of a
25		firearm owner's obligation to report to local law enforcement
26		any lost or stolen firearm within 48 hours after the owner

SB0008 Enrolled - 11 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		first discovers the loss or theft.
2		(a-25) On or before January 1, 2022, the Illinois State
3		Police shall develop an Internet-based system upon which the
4		serial numbers of firearms that have been reported stolen are
5		available for public access for individuals to ensure any
6		firearms are not reported stolen prior to the sale or transfer
7		of a firearm under this Section. The Illinois State Police
8		shall have the Internet-based system completed and available
9		for use by July 1, 2022. The Illinois State Police shall adopt
10		rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this
11		system. On or before January 1, 2027, the Illinois State
12		Police shall make the Internet-based system created under this
13		subsection accessible to federally licensed firearms dealers
14		to verify that the make, model, and serial numbers of firearms
15		that are being bought, sold, or transferred by the dealers
16		have not been reported stolen and shall also provide a receipt
17		or approval number to a transferor or federally licensed
18		firearms dealer as verification that the firearm being
19		transferred did not appear on the stolen firearm database.
20		(a-30) On or before January 1, 2027, the Illinois State
21		Police shall establish an electronic mechanism by which law
22		enforcement shall report individuals who have failed to report
23		the loss or theft of a firearm pursuant to Section 24-4.1 of
24		the Criminal Code of 2012.
25		(b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes
26		to be transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a

SB0008 Enrolled - 12 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		record of such transfer for a period of 10 years from the date
2		of transfer. Any person within this State who receives any
3		firearm, stun gun, or taser pursuant to subsection (a-10)
4		shall provide a record of the transfer within 10 days of the
5		transfer to a federally licensed firearm dealer and shall not
6		be required to maintain a transfer record. The federally
7		licensed firearm dealer shall maintain the transfer record for
8		20 years from the date of receipt. A federally licensed
9		firearm dealer may charge a fee not to exceed $25 to retain the
10		record. The record shall be provided and maintained in either
11		an electronic or paper format. The federally licensed firearm
12		dealer shall not be liable for the accuracy of any information
13		in the transfer record submitted pursuant to this Section.
14		Such records shall contain the date of the transfer; the
15		description, serial number or other information identifying
16		the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number is
17		available; and, if the transfer was completed within this
18		State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card
19		number and any approval number or documentation provided by
20		the Illinois State Police pursuant to subsection (a-10) of
21		this Section; if the transfer was not completed within this
22		State, the record shall contain the name and address of the
23		transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall
24		contain the date of application for transfer of the firearm.
25		On demand of a peace officer such transferor shall produce for
26		inspection such record of transfer. For any transfer pursuant

SB0008 Enrolled - 13 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		to subsection (a-10) of this Section, on the demand of a peace
2		officer, such transferee shall identify the federally licensed
3		firearm dealer maintaining the transfer record. If the
4		transfer or sale took place at a gun show, the record shall
5		include the unique identification number. Failure to record
6		the unique identification number or approval number is a petty
7		offense. For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on
8		or after January 18, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
9		100-1178), failure by the private seller to maintain the
10		transfer records in accordance with this Section, or failure
11		by a transferee pursuant to subsection a-10 of this Section to
12		identify the federally licensed firearm dealer maintaining the
13		transfer record, is a Class A misdemeanor for the first
14		offense and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent offense
15		occurring within 10 years of the first offense and the second
16		offense was committed after conviction of the first offense.
17		Whenever any person who has not previously been convicted of
18		any violation of subsection (a-5), the court may grant
19		supervision pursuant to and consistent with the limitations of
20		Section 5-6-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A transferee
21		or transferor shall not be criminally liable under this
22		Section provided that he or she provides the Illinois State
23		Police with the transfer records in accordance with procedures
24		established by the Illinois State Police. The Illinois State
25		Police shall establish, by rule, a standard form on its
26		website.

1		(b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person
2		within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States
3		mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law
4		to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within
5		or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a
6		copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card
7		or valid concealed carry license and either his or her
8		Illinois driver's license or Illinois State Identification
9		Card prior to the shipment of the ammunition. The ammunition
10		may be shipped only to an address on either of those 2
11		documents.
12		(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer
13		of firearm ammunition shall not apply to those persons
14		specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2 of this Act.

17		tasers, notify the inquiring dealer, gun show promoter, or gun
18		show vendor of any objection that would disqualify the
19		transferee from acquiring or possessing a firearm, stun gun,
20		or taser. In conducting the inquiry, the Illinois State Police
21		shall initiate and complete an automated search of its
22		criminal history record information files and those of the
23		Federal Bureau of Investigation, including the National
24		Instant Criminal Background Check System, and of the files of

7		an inquiry in subsection (b). Persons eligible for this
8		process must have a set of fingerprints on file with their
9		applications under either subsection (a-25) of Section 4 or
10		the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.
11		(c) If receipt of a firearm would not violate Section 24-3
12		of the Criminal Code of 2012, federal law, or this Act, the
13		Illinois State Police shall:

9		evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other drug abuse
10		problem exists and the extent of such a problem. Programs
11		conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
12		Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is
13		not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
14		accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
15		individual's residence. The court shall make a specific
16		finding about whether the defendant is eligible for
17		participation in a Department impact incarceration program as
18		provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3, and if not, provide an
19		explanation as to why a sentence to impact incarceration is
20		not an appropriate sentence. The court may in its sentencing
21		order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
22		Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
23		paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
24		upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
25		Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:

SB0008 Enrolled - 36 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		(1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
2		trial;
3		(2) consider any presentence reports;
4		(3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
5		based on the financial impact statement filed with the
6		clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
7		(4) consider evidence and information offered by the
8		parties in aggravation and mitigation;
9		(4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
10		screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
11		an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
12		assessment services for the Illinois courts;
13		(5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
14		(6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
15		statement in his own behalf;
16		(7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
17		violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
18		or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
19		opportunity to present an oral or written statement, as
20		guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the Illinois
21		Constitution and provided in Section 6 of the Rights of
22		Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a
23		victim to make an oral statement if the victim is present
24		in the courtroom and requests to make an oral or written
25		statement. An oral or written statement includes the
26		victim or a representative of the victim reading the

SB0008 Enrolled - 37 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		written statement. The court may allow persons impacted by
2		the crime who are not victims under subsection (a) of
3		Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
4		to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
5		person making an oral statement shall not be put under
6		oath or subject to cross-examination. All statements
7		offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part of the
8		record of the court. In this paragraph (7), "victim of a
9		violent crime" means a person who is a victim of a violent
10		crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a
11		bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a
12		violent crime with which the defendant was charged and the
13		defendant has been convicted under a plea agreement of a
14		crime that is not a violent crime as defined in subsection
15		(c) of 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
16		(7.5) afford a qualified person affected by: (i) a
17		violation of Section 405, 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the
18		Illinois Controlled Substances Act or a violation of
19		Section 55 or Section 65 of the Methamphetamine Control
20		and Community Protection Act; or (ii) a Class 4 felony
21		violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3 except as described in
22		subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18,
23		11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
24		Criminal Code of 2012, committed by the defendant the
25		opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on
26		the qualified person and to offer evidence in aggravation

SB0008 Enrolled - 38 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		or mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence
2		offered in aggravation or mitigation shall first be
3		prepared in writing in conjunction with the State's
4		Attorney before it may be presented orally at the hearing.
5		Sworn testimony offered by the qualified person is subject
6		to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements
7		and evidence offered under this paragraph (7.5) shall
8		become part of the record of the court. In this paragraph
9		(7.5), "qualified person" means any person who: (i) lived
10		or worked within the territorial jurisdiction where the
11		offense took place when the offense took place; or (ii) is
12		familiar with various public places within the territorial
13		jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
14		took place. "Qualified person" includes any peace officer
15		or any member of any duly organized State, county, or
16		municipal peace officer unit assigned to the territorial
17		jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
18		took place;
19		(8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
20		spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
21		members an opportunity to make oral statements;
22		(9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
23		under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
24		results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
25		to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and
26		(10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was

SB0008 Enrolled - 39 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		used in the commission of the offense for which the
2		defendant is being sentenced; and .
3		(11) make a finding of whether a firearm with a serial
4		number reported as stolen on the Illinois State Police
5		publicly accessible stolen firearms database was used in
6		the commission of the offense for which the defendant is
7		being sentenced.
8		(b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
9		his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
10		any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
11		who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
12		guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer
13		sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not
14		impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are
15		convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense,
16		the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the
17		sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants
18		who have been sentenced.
19		(b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic
20		imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a
21		sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available
22		sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation
23		or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent
24		crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment
25		before review and consideration of a presentence report and
26		determination and explanation of why the particular evidence,

SB0008 Enrolled - 40 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other
2		reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of
3		the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code
4		apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an
5		appropriate sentence.
6		(c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
7		offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
8		while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
9		combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
10		ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
11		to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall
12		specify on the record the particular evidence, information,
13		factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
14		led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
15		of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the
16		court and shall be a public record.
17		(c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
18		kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
19		aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
20		firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
21		category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to
22		whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
23		resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that
24		finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
25		(c-1.5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
26		contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that requires

SB0008 Enrolled - 41 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the court may
2		instead sentence the offender to probation, conditional
3		discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it deems
4		appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or possession
5		of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked license due to
6		unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court finds that the
7		defendant does not pose a risk to public safety; and (3) the
8		interest of justice requires imposing a term of probation,
9		conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment. The
10		court must state on the record its reasons for imposing
11		probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
12		imprisonment.
13		(c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
14		when a sentence of natural life imprisonment is imposed, at
15		the time the sentence is imposed the judge shall state on the
16		record in open court the approximate period of time the
17		defendant will serve in custody according to the then current
18		statutory rules and regulations for sentence credit found in
19		Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of this Code. This
20		statement is intended solely to inform the public, has no
21		legal effect on the defendant's actual release, and may not be
22		relied on by the defendant on appeal.
23		The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
24		sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
25		the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3,
26		shall include the following:

SB0008 Enrolled - 42 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
2		the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
3		prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
4		prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
5		as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
6		Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
7		case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
8		sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
9		years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
10		sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
11		misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
12		regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
13		served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
14		receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
15		day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse,
16		and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
17		When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
18		enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
19		first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
20		June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
21		homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
22		Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
23		offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the
24		sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
25		of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
26		compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in

SB0008 Enrolled - 43 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
2		11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
3		imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on
4		or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act
5		92-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated
6		driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
7		or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
8		thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of
9		subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
10		committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of
11		Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after
12		pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following:
13		"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
14		the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
15		prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
16		prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
17		as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
18		Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
19		case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
20		sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
21		imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
22		85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
23		1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
24		period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
25		months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct
26		or failure to comply with the institutional regulations

SB0008 Enrolled - 44 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
2		be longer."
3		When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
4		degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June
5		19, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
6		the sentence, shall include the following:
7		"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
8		the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
9		prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
10		prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
11		as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
12		Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
13		case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit.
14		Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
15		sentence."
16		When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
17		substance abuse program for any offense that results in
18		incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
19		crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
20		effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement,
21		in addition to any other judge's statement required under this
22		Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
23		include the following:
24		"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
25		the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
26		prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of

SB0008 Enrolled - 45 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
2		as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
3		Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
4		case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit
5		under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or
6		she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
7		program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
8		pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3."
9		(c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the
10		presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
11		inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently
12		serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
13		States. If the defendant is currently serving in the Armed
14		Forces of the United States or is a veteran of the Armed Forces
15		of the United States and has been diagnosed as having a mental
16		illness by a qualified psychiatrist or clinical psychologist
17		or physician, the court may:
18		(1) order that the officer preparing the presentence
19		report consult with the United States Department of
20		Veterans Affairs, Illinois Department of Veterans'
21		Affairs, or another agency or person with suitable
22		knowledge or experience for the purpose of providing the
23		court with information regarding treatment options
24		available to the defendant, including federal, State, and
25		local programming; and
26		(2) consider the treatment recommendations of any

SB0008 Enrolled - 46 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		diagnosing or treating mental health professionals
2		together with the treatment options available to the
3		defendant in imposing sentence.
4		For the purposes of this subsection (c-4), "qualified
5		psychiatrist" means a reputable physician licensed in Illinois
6		to practice medicine in all its branches, who has specialized
7		in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and nervous disorders
8		for a period of not less than 5 years.
9		(c-6) In imposing a sentence, the trial judge shall
10		specify, on the record, the particular evidence and other
11		reasons which led to his or her determination that a motor
12		vehicle was used in the commission of the offense.
13		(c-7) In imposing a sentence for a Class 3 or 4 felony,
14		other than a violent crime as defined in Section 3 of the
15		Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, the court shall
16		determine and indicate in the sentencing order whether the
17		defendant has 4 or more or fewer than 4 months remaining on his
18		or her sentence accounting for time served.
19		(d) When the defendant is committed to the Department of
20		Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the
21		defendant may file a statement with the clerk of the court to
22		be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to
23		which the defendant is committed to furnish such department,
24		agency or institution with the facts and circumstances of the
25		offense for which the person was committed together with all
26		other factual information accessible to them in regard to the

SB0008 Enrolled - 47 - LRB104 07753 RLC 17798 b
1		person prior to his commitment relative to his habits,
2		associates, disposition and reputation and any other facts and
3		circumstances which may aid such department, agency or
4		institution during its custody of such person. The clerk shall
5		within 10 days after receiving any such statements transmit a
6		copy to such department, agency or institution and a copy to
7		the other party, provided, however, that this shall not be
8		cause for delay in conveying the person to the department,
9		agency or institution to which he has been committed.
10		(e) The clerk of the court shall transmit to the
11		department, agency or institution, if any, to which the
12		defendant is committed, the following:
13		(1) the sentence imposed;
14		(2) any statement by the court of the basis for
15		imposing the sentence;
16		(3) any presentence reports;

21		(3.5) any sex offender evaluations;
22		(3.6) any substance abuse treatment eligibility
23		screening and assessment of the defendant by an agent
