18 firearms.
19 (3) Officers and employees eligible for the expedited
20 relief in paragraph (2) of this subsection (c-5) have the
21 burden of proof on eligibility and must provide all

13 submit to the Firearm Owner's Identification Card Review
14 Board an objection to any redaction made pursuant to
15 subparagraph (A) of paragraph (5) of subsection (c-5) of
16 this Section. The objection must specify the basis for the
17 individual's belief that the redacted information is
18 necessary for a full and fair review.
19 (C) In determining whether information should be
20 unredacted, the Board may consider any relevant factor,
21 including, but not limited to, (i) the extent to which the
22 disclosure of such information is necessary to provide the
23 individual with a meaningful opportunity to understand,
24 respond to, or rebut evidence for the basis for the denial
25 or revocation and (ii) the safety and well-being of any
26 person who, directly or indirectly, is the source or
HB0850 Enrolled - 22 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b

14 (2) The Board shall act on the request for relief within 60
15 business days of receipt of written certification, in the form

17 psychologist, or qualified examiner, that the aggrieved
18 party's developmental disability or intellectual disability
19 condition is determined by a physician, clinical psychologist,
20 or qualified to be mild. If a fact-finding conference is
21 scheduled to obtain additional information concerning the
22 circumstances of the denial or revocation, the 60 business
23 days the Director has to act shall be tolled until the
24 completion of the fact-finding conference.
25 (3) The Board may grant relief if the aggrieved party's
26 developmental disability or intellectual disability is mild as
HB0850 Enrolled - 23 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified
2 examiner and it is established by the applicant to the Board's

7 law.
8 (4) The Board may not grant relief if the condition is
9 determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified

15 of the evidence that the person will not be likely to act in a
16 manner dangerous to public safety and that granting relief
17 would not be contrary to the public interest. In making this
18 determination, the Board shall receive evidence concerning (i)
19 the circumstances regarding the firearms disabilities from
20 which relief is sought; (ii) the petitioner's mental health

17 Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing hearing.
18 (a) After a determination of guilt, a hearing shall be
19 held to impose the sentence. However, prior to the imposition
20 of sentence on an individual being sentenced for an offense
21 based upon a charge for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
22 Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
23 ordinance, the individual must undergo a professional
HB0850 Enrolled - 28 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other drug abuse
2 problem exists and the extent of such a problem. Programs
3 conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
4 Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is
5 not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
6 accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
7 individual's residence. The court shall make a specific
8 finding about whether the defendant is eligible for
9 participation in a Department impact incarceration program as
10 provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3, and if not, provide an
11 explanation as to why a sentence to impact incarceration is
12 not an appropriate sentence. The court may in its sentencing
13 order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
14 Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
15 paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
16 upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
17 Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
18 (1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
19 trial;
20 (2) consider any presentence reports;
21 (3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
22 based on the financial impact statement filed with the
23 clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;
24 (4) consider evidence and information offered by the
25 parties in aggravation and mitigation;
26 (4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility

1 screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
2 an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
3 assessment services for the Illinois courts;
4 (5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
5 (6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
6 statement in his own behalf;
7 (7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
8 violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
9 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
10 opportunity to present an oral or written statement, as
11 guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the Illinois
12 Constitution and provided in Section 6 of the Rights of
13 Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a
14 victim to make an oral statement if the victim is present
15 in the courtroom and requests to make an oral or written
16 statement. An oral or written statement includes the
17 victim or a representative of the victim reading the
18 written statement. The court may allow persons impacted by
19 the crime who are not victims under subsection (a) of
20 Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
21 to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
22 person making an oral statement shall not be put under
23 oath or subject to cross-examination. All statements
24 offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part of the
25 record of the court. In this paragraph (7), "victim of a
26 violent crime" means a person who is a victim of a violent
HB0850 Enrolled - 30 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a
2 bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a
3 violent crime with which the defendant was charged and the
4 defendant has been convicted under a plea agreement of a
5 crime that is not a violent crime as defined in subsection
6 (c) of 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
7 (7.5) afford a qualified person affected by: (i) a
8 violation of Section 405, 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the
9 Illinois Controlled Substances Act or a violation of
10 Section 55 or Section 65 of the Methamphetamine Control
11 and Community Protection Act; or (ii) a Class 4 felony
12 violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3 except as described in
13 subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18,
14 11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
15 Criminal Code of 2012, committed by the defendant the
16 opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on
17 the qualified person and to offer evidence in aggravation
18 or mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence
19 offered in aggravation or mitigation shall first be
20 prepared in writing in conjunction with the State's
21 Attorney before it may be presented orally at the hearing.
22 Sworn testimony offered by the qualified person is subject
23 to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements
24 and evidence offered under this paragraph (7.5) shall
25 become part of the record of the court. In this paragraph
26 (7.5), "qualified person" means any person who: (i) lived
HB0850 Enrolled - 31 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 or worked within the territorial jurisdiction where the
2 offense took place when the offense took place; or (ii) is
3 familiar with various public places within the territorial
4 jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
5 took place. "Qualified person" includes any peace officer
6 or any member of any duly organized State, county, or
7 municipal peace officer unit assigned to the territorial
8 jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
9 took place;
10 (8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
11 spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
12 members an opportunity to make oral statements;
13 (9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
14 under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
15 results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
16 to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and
17 (10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was
18 used in the commission of the offense for which the
19 defendant is being sentenced.; and
20 (11) make a finding of whether a firearm with a serial
21 number reported as stolen on the Illinois State Police
22 publicly accessible stolen firearms database was used in
23 the commission of the offense for which the defendant is
24 being sentenced.
25 (b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
26 his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
HB0850 Enrolled - 32 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
2 who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of
3 guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer
4 sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not
5 impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are
6 convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense,
7 the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the
8 sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants
9 who have been sentenced.
10 (b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic
11 imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a
12 sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available
13 sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation
14 or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent
15 crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment
16 before review and consideration of a presentence report and
17 determination and explanation of why the particular evidence,
18 information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other
19 reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of
20 the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code
21 apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an
22 appropriate sentence.
23 (c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
24 offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
25 while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
26 combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
HB0850 Enrolled - 33 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
2 to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall
3 specify on the record the particular evidence, information,
4 factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
5 led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
6 of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the
7 court and shall be a public record.
8 (c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
9 kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
10 aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
11 firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
12 category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to
13 whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
14 resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that
15 finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
16 (c-1.5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
17 contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that requires
18 a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the court may
19 instead sentence the offender to probation, conditional
20 discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it deems
21 appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or possession
22 of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked license due to
23 unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court finds that the
24 defendant does not pose a risk to public safety; and (3) the
25 interest of justice requires imposing a term of probation,
26 conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment. The
HB0850 Enrolled - 34 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 court must state on the record its reasons for imposing
2 probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
3 imprisonment.
4 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
5 when a sentence of natural life imprisonment is imposed, at
6 the time the sentence is imposed the judge shall state on the
7 record in open court the approximate period of time the
8 defendant will serve in custody according to the then current
9 statutory rules and regulations for sentence credit found in
10 Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of this Code. This
11 statement is intended solely to inform the public, has no
12 legal effect on the defendant's actual release, and may not be
13 relied on by the defendant on appeal.
14 The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
15 sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
16 the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3,
17 shall include the following:
18 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
19 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
20 prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
21 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
22 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
23 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
24 case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
25 sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
26 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
HB0850 Enrolled - 35 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
2 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
3 regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
4 served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
5 receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
6 day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse,
7 and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
8 When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
9 enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
10 first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
11 June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
12 homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
13 Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
14 offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the
15 sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
16 of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
17 compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
18 subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
19 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
20 imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on
21 or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act
22 92-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated
23 driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
24 or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
25 thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of
26 subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
HB0850 Enrolled - 36 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 b
1 committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of
2 Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after
3 pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following:
4 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
5 the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
6 prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
7 prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
8 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
9 Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
10 case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
11 sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
12 imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
13 85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
14 1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
15 period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
16 months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct
17 or failure to comply with the institutional regulations
18 receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
19 be longer."
20 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
21 degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June
22 19, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
23 the sentence, shall 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
HB0850 Enrolled - 37 - LRB104 04748 BDA 14775 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 is not entitled to sentence credit.
5 Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
6 sentence."
7 When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
8 substance abuse program for any offense that results in
9 incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
10 crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
11 effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement,
