SB3563

SB3563 amends Illinois criminal law to modify the conditions for Second Chance Probation and the First Time Weapon Offense Program.

SB3563 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to change the conditions for Second Chance Probation, making several discretionary requirements mandatory, such as making restitution, obtaining employment, paying fines, and attending educational courses. It also modifies the First Time Weapon Offense Program by removing certain conditions, including drug testing and State's Attorney consent. The bill allows defense counsel to provide input on the duration of the program and specifies that a defendant can only receive one discharge and dismissal under this section within a 4-year period.
