HB4082

Illinois HB4082 allows certain long-term inmates to convert their indeterminate sentences to determinate sentences.

Illinois HB4082 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to allow certain inmates with long-term indeterminate sentences to elect to be resentenced under the 1978 determinate sentencing law. Specifically, inmates incarcerated under an indeterminate sentence on the effective date of the Act whose minimum term was 20 years or more as of February 1, 1978, may choose to convert their sentence. The election must be made in writing to the Department of Corrections, which will inform all eligible persons within 60 days of the Act's effective date.
