HB3348 amends the Illinois Criminal Code to clarify legal accountability for the conduct of another and establish sentencing guidelines for such.
HB3348 amends the Illinois Criminal Code to define when a person is legally accountable for the conduct of another, specifying that accountability exists if the person deliberately promotes or facilitates the commission of an offense. It excludes accountability if the person is a victim of the offense, their conduct was incidental, or they terminated efforts to facilitate the offense before its commission. The bill also establishes sentencing guidelines for individuals found legally accountable, varying by the severity of the offense. It takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
