Bill > HB4006

This bill amends two sections of Illinois law related to criminal procedure and sentencing, focusing on consecutive sentencing provisions. Specifically, the bill restores previous legal provisions concerning consecutive sentencing that were modified by a recent public act (Public Act 102-1104). The bill removes previous language that allowed defendants to receive custodial credit for home confinement and GPS or electronic monitoring, effectively eliminating these credit provisions. In the Unified Code of Corrections, the bill reintroduces mandatory consecutive sentencing requirements for specific scenarios, such as when a defendant commits a separate felony while on pretrial release or in detention, commits a battery against a correctional officer, or violates bail bond conditions. The changes aim to provide more stringent sentencing guidelines, ensuring that certain criminal actions will result in consecutive, rather than concurrent, sentences. The bill represents a legislative effort to strengthen penalties for defendants who commit additional criminal offenses while already in the legal system or under judicial supervision.
