IL HB6167

Creates the Gang Influenced and Criminal Organizations Law (GICO) as a new Article 33G in the Criminal Code of 1961, making it unlawful for any person employed by or associated with an enterprise to conduct its affairs through a pattern of predicate activity or collection of unlawful debt.

Defines "pattern of predicate activity" as at least 2 occurrences of specified crimes (including murder, robbery, drug trafficking, weapons violations, and terrorism offenses) occurring within 10 years, with at least one occurring after the law's effective date.

Establishes penalties for GICO violations as Class X felonies with 6-30 years imprisonment, plus restitution or fines up to $250,000 or twice the gross amount of loss; enhanced sentences of 25 years to life if death results.

Authorizes criminal and civil forfeiture of all property acquired or maintained through GICO violations, with 75% of proceeds deposited to the state treasury and 25% retained by prosecutors for investigative purposes.

Permits interception of private communications without consent and allows statewide grand juries to investigate and prosecute GICO violations occurring in multiple counties.
