HB5091 Engrossed
LRB104 17675 RLC 31106 b
1

AN ACT concerning criminal law.

2

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3
represented in the General Assembly:

4

Section 1.
Short title.
This Act may be cited as the
5
Permanent Punishments Review Task Force Act.

6

Section 5.
Purpose.
The purpose of the Permanent
7
Punishments Review Task Force is to research and analyze
8
models for periodic evaluation, modification, and, as
9
appropriate, elimination of statutory permanent punishments
10
that impact people with criminal records and make
11
recommendations to the General Assembly regarding adoption of
12
such models. The work of the Task Force is predicated on the
13
reality that collateral consequences of a criminal record
14
often result in continued, and sometimes permanent, punishment
15
of Illinoisans after serving their sentences, that many
16
statutory permanent punishments are not rooted in data or
17
evidence, and that these permanent punishments hurt, rather
18
than help, the people and communities they were designed to
19
protect.

20

Section 10.
Definition.
As used in this Act:
21

"Permanent punishment" means a penalty or disadvantage
22
imposed because an individual has a criminal conviction or

HB5091 Engrossed

LRB104 17675 RLC 31106 b
1
other criminal history that is not part of the criminal
2
sentence. "Permanent punishment" does not include
3
imprisonment, probation, parole, supervised release,
4
forfeiture, restitution, fine, assessment, or costs of
5
prosecution.

6

Section 15.
Creation; duties.
The Permanent Punishments
7
Review Task Force is created. The duties of the Task Force
8
include:
9

(1) researching and analyzing the statutory permanent
10

punishments under Illinois law;
11

(2) identifying factors and data relevant to
12

determining whether a permanent punishment should be
13

modified or eliminated based on available scholarship;
14

(3) identifying or developing models, or both, for
15

periodic, systematic review of Illinois' permanent
16

punishments laws; and
17

(4) analyzing such models, including potential funding
18

requirements, and proposing recommendations to the General
19

Assembly.
