HB3168 Enrolled- 11 -LRB101 08304 SLF 53372 b

3shall include the following:
4 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
5the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
6prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
7prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
8applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
9Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
10case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
11sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
12years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
13sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
14misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
15regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
16served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also receive
17an additional one-half day sentence credit for each day of
18participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse, and
19educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."

1sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
2of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
3compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
4subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
511-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
6imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on or
7after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act 92-176),
8and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under
9the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating
10compound or compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
11subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
1211-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed on or after
13January 1, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1230), the
14judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence,
15shall include the following:
16 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
17the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
18prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
19prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
20applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
21Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
22case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
23sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
24imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least 85%
25of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 1/2
26days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the period

HB3168 Enrolled- 13 -LRB101 08304 SLF 53372 b
1of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... months. If the
2defendant, because of his or her own misconduct or failure to
3comply with the institutional regulations receives lesser
4credit, the actual time served in prison will be longer."
5 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first degree
6murder and the offense was committed on or after June 19, 1998,
7the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
8sentence, shall include the following:
9 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
10the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
11prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
12prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
13applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
14Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
15case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit.
16Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
17sentence."

19substance abuse program for any offense that results in
20incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the

2prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
3prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
4applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
5Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
6case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit
7under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or
8she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
9program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
