HB5091 Engrossed LRB104 17675 RLC 31106 b
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
Permanent Punishments Review Task Force Act.
Section 5. Purpose. The purpose of the Permanent
Punishments Review Task Force is to research and analyze
models for periodic evaluation, modification, and, as
appropriate, elimination of statutory permanent punishments
that impact people with criminal records and make
recommendations to the General Assembly regarding adoption of
such models. The work of the Task Force is predicated on the
reality that collateral consequences of a criminal record
often result in continued, and sometimes permanent, punishment
of Illinoisans after serving their sentences, that many
statutory permanent punishments are not rooted in data or
evidence, and that these permanent punishments hurt, rather
than help, the people and communities they were designed to
protect.
Section 10. Definition. As used in this Act:
"Permanent punishment" means a penalty or disadvantage
imposed because an individual has a criminal conviction or
HB5091 Engrossed - 2 - LRB104 17675 RLC 31106 b
other criminal history that is not part of the criminal
sentence. "Permanent punishment" does not include
imprisonment, probation, parole, supervised release,
forfeiture, restitution, fine, assessment, or costs of
prosecution.
Section 15. Creation; duties. The Permanent Punishments
Review Task Force is created. The duties of the Task Force
include:
(1) researching and analyzing the statutory permanent
punishments under Illinois law;
(2) identifying factors and data relevant to
determining whether a permanent punishment should be
modified or eliminated based on available scholarship;
(3) identifying or developing models, or both, for
periodic, systematic review of Illinois' permanent
punishments laws; and
(4) analyzing such models, including potential funding
requirements, and proposing recommendations to the General
Assembly.
Section 20. Task Force composition.

comprised of the following members, all of whom shall serve
without compensation:
