588	588	17 to any prisoner who passes high school equivalency testing
589	589	18 while the prisoner is committed to the Department of
590	590	19 Corrections. The sentence credit awarded under this paragraph

592	592	21 of sentence credit under any other paragraph of this Section,
593	593	22 but shall also be pursuant to the guidelines and restrictions
594	594	23 set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of this Section.

651	651	8 prisoner who obtains a bachelor's degree while the prisoner is
652	652	9 committed to the Department of Corrections. The sentence

689	689	10 those prisoners who have not previously earned a master's or
690	690	11 professional degree prior to the current commitment to the

692	692	13 or professional degree sentence credit has been made, the
693	693	14 Department determines that the prisoner was not eligible, then
694	694	15 the award shall be revoked. The Department may also award 180

718	718	3 committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the effective date of
719	719	4 Public Act 93-354), the prisoner shall receive no sentence
720	720	5 credit awarded under clause (3) of this subsection (a) unless
721	721	6 he or she participates in and completes a substance abuse
722	722	7 treatment program. The Director of Corrections may waive the
723	723	8 requirement to participate in or complete a substance abuse
724	724	9 treatment program in specific instances if the prisoner is not
725	725	10 a good candidate for a substance abuse treatment program for
726	726	11 medical, programming, or operational reasons. Availability of
727	727	12 substance abuse treatment shall be subject to the limits of
728	728	13 fiscal resources appropriated by the General Assembly for
729	729	14 these purposes. If treatment is not available and the
730	730	15 requirement to participate and complete the treatment has not
731	731	16 been waived by the Director, the prisoner shall be placed on a
732	732	17 waiting list under criteria established by the Department. The
733	733	18 Director may allow a prisoner placed on a waiting list to
734	734	19 participate in and complete a substance abuse education class
735	735	20 or attend substance abuse self-help meetings in lieu of a
736	736	21 substance abuse treatment program. A prisoner on a waiting
737	737	22 list who is not placed in a substance abuse program prior to
738	738	23 release may be eligible for a waiver and receive sentence
739	739	24 credit under clause (3) of this subsection (a) at the
740	740	25 discretion of the Director.

753	753	2 offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
754	754	3 Registration Act shall receive no sentence credit unless he or
755	755	4 she either has successfully completed or is participating in
756	756	5 sex offender treatment as defined by the Sex Offender
757	757	6 Management Board. However, prisoners who are waiting to
758	758	7 receive treatment, but who are unable to do so due solely to
759	759	8 the lack of resources on the part of the Department, may, at
760	760	9 either Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit
761	761	10 at a rate as the Director shall determine.
762	762	11 (4.7) On or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of
763	763	12 Public Act 100-3), sentence credit under paragraph (3), (4),
764	764	13 or (4.1) of this subsection (a) may be awarded to a prisoner
765	765	14 who is serving a sentence for an offense described in
766	766	15 paragraph (2), (2.3), (2.4), (2.5), or (2.6) for credit earned
767	767	16 on or after January 1, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act
768	768	17 100-3); provided, the award of the credits under this
769	769	18 paragraph (4.7) shall not reduce the sentence of the prisoner
770	770	19 to less than the following amounts:
771	771	20 (i) 85% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is
772	772	21 required to serve 85% of his or her sentence; or
773	773	22 (ii) 60% of his or her sentence if the prisoner is
774	774	23 required to serve 60% 75% of his or her sentence, except if
775	775	24 the prisoner is serving a sentence for gunrunning his or
776	776	25 her sentence shall not be reduced to less than 75%.

792	792	5 earlier than it otherwise would because of a grant of earned
793	793	6 sentence credit under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
794	794	7 Section given at any time during the term, the Department
795	795	8 shall give reasonable notice of the impending release not less
796	796	9 than 14 days prior to the date of the release to the State's
797	797	10 Attorney of the county where the prosecution of the inmate
798	798	11 took place, and if applicable, the State's Attorney of the
799	799	12 county into which the inmate will be released. The Department
800	800	13 must also make identification information and a recent photo
801	801	14 of the inmate being released accessible on the Internet by
802	802	15 means of a hyperlink labeled "Community Notification of Inmate

805	805	18 name, any known alias, date of birth, physical
806	806	19 characteristics, commitment offense, and county where
807	807	20 conviction was imposed. The identification information shall
808	808	21 be placed on the website within 3 days of the inmate's release
809	809	22 and the information may not be removed until either:
810	810	23 completion of the first year of mandatory supervised release
811	811	24 or return of the inmate to custody of the Department.

827	827	4 regulations for revoking sentence credit, including revoking
828	828	5 sentence credit awarded under paragraph (3) of subsection (a)
829	829	6 of this Section. The Department shall prescribe rules and
830	830	7 regulations establishing and requiring the use of a sanctions
831	831	8 matrix for revoking sentence credit. The Department shall
832	832	9 prescribe rules and regulations for suspending or reducing the
833	833	10 rate of accumulation of sentence credit for specific rule
834	834	11 violations, during imprisonment. These rules and regulations
835	835	12 shall provide that no inmate may be penalized more than one
836	836	13 year of sentence credit for any one infraction.
837	837	14 (2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or
838	838	15 reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an
839	839	16 alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
840	840	17 therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
841	841	18 sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided
842	842	19 in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
843	843	20 amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days, whether from one
844	844	21 infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising
845	845	22 out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the
846	846	23 cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except
847	847	24 where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days
848	848	25 of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of
849	849	26 Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The

860	860	1 Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional
861	861	2 sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence
862	862	3 credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be
863	863	4 empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to
864	864	5 the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year
865	865	6 for any prisoner or to increase any penalty beyond the length
866	866	7 requested by the Department.
867	867	8 (3) The Director of Corrections or the Director of
868	868	9 Juvenile Justice, in appropriate cases, may restore sentence
869	869	10 credits which have been revoked, suspended, or reduced. The
870	870	11 Department shall prescribe rules and regulations governing the
871	871	12 restoration of sentence credits. These rules and regulations
872	872	13 shall provide for the automatic restoration of sentence
873	873	14 credits following a period in which the prisoner maintains a
874	874	15 record without a disciplinary violation.
875	875	16 Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
876	876	17 Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
877	877	18 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
878	878	19 sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the
879	879	20 accumulation of sentence credit.
880	880	21 (d) If a lawsuit is filed by a prisoner in an Illinois or

882	882	23 Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
883	883	24 their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
884	884	25 finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the
885	885	26 prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall

900	900	5 If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence
901	901	6 credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
902	902	7 Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the
903	903	8 prisoner.

906	906	11 other filing which purports to be a legal document filed
907	907	12 by a prisoner in his or her lawsuit meets any or all of the
908	908	13 following criteria:
909	909	14 (A) it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in
910	910	15 fact;
911	911	16 (B) it is being presented for any improper
912	912	17 purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary
913	913	18 delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation;
914	914	19 (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal
915	915	20 contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
916	916	21 or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
917	917	22 modification, or reversal of existing law or the
918	918	23 establishment of new law;
919	919	24 (D) the allegations and other factual contentions

934	934	3 (E) the denials of factual contentions are not
935	935	4 warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
936	936	5 identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
937	937	6 information or belief.
938	938	7 (2) "Lawsuit" means a motion pursuant to Section 116-3
939	939	8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a habeas corpus
