IL HB5511

Amends the Unified Code of Corrections Section 5-7-1 regarding sentences of periodic imprisonment, which allow offenders to be released during daytime or nighttime hours while serving their sentence.

Clarifies that courts cannot impose periodic imprisonment sentences that, when combined with regular imprisonment, would exceed the maximum sentence allowed for that offense (removes the previous 90-day limitation).

Requires offenders sentenced to periodic imprisonment for felony sex offenses to successfully complete court-approved sex offender treatment conforming to Sex Offender Management Board standards.

Establishes that counties may charge offenders for costs of mandatory drug/alcohol testing and electronic monitoring, with fees collected by the circuit court clerk and deposited into the county working cash fund.

Requires first-time offenders aged 17 or older in counties with 3 million or more residents to attend educational courses and work toward a high school diploma, GED, or vocational training as a condition of periodic imprisonment sentences, with court revocation authority for willful non-compliance.
