IL HB2213

Creates "accountability" as a separate criminal offense in Illinois Criminal Code, replacing previous language about when a person is "legally accountable" for another's conduct.

Establishes three ways accountability occurs: (1) causing another to commit conduct while lacking required mental state, (2) when statute defines accountability, or (3) soliciting, aiding, or abetting another before or during commission of an offense with intent to promote it.

Sets specific sentencing ranges for accountability convictions based on felony class: first degree murder (10-30 years), Class X (3-15 years), Class 1 (2-7 years, 2-10 for second degree murder), Class 2 (1.5-3 years), Class 3 (1-2 years), with extended terms and parole/supervised release requirements specified.

Prohibits probation or conditional discharge for accountability convictions involving first degree murder; limits probation to 4 years for Class X and Class 1 felonies, 30 months for Class 2 and 3 felonies.

Specifies that no separate sentence is imposed for the accompanying offense when convicted of accountability; mere presence at crime scene does not establish accountability without additional circumstances.
