for a plea of guilty, at or before the time of sentencing, the State's
Attorney shall file with the court a written statement of his or her
reasons in support of the plea agreement, which shall specifically state
why the offense or offenses of conviction resulting from the plea
agreement do not include the originally charged weapons offense. Provides
that the written statement shall be part of the court record in the case
and a copy shall be provided to any person upon request. Provides that in a

in a written sentencing order his or her reasons for imposing the sentence
or accepting the plea agreement. Provides that a copy of the written
