704704 25 either Director's sole discretion, be awarded sentence credit
705705 26 at a rate as the Director shall determine.

789789 2 (2) When the Department seeks to revoke, suspend, or
790790 3 reduce the rate of accumulation of any sentence credits for an
791791 4 alleged infraction of its rules, it shall bring charges
792792 5 therefor against the prisoner sought to be so deprived of
793793 6 sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as provided
794794 7 in subparagraph (a)(4) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code, if the
795795 8 amount of credit at issue exceeds 30 days, whether from one
796796 9 infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising
797797 10 out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the
798798 11 cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except
799799 12 where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days
800800 13 of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of
801801 14 Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The
802802 15 Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional
803803 16 sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence
804804 17 credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be
805805 18 empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to
806806 19 the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year
807807 20 for any prisoner or to increase any penalty beyond the length
808808 21 requested by the Department.

825825 2 credits following a period in which the prisoner maintains a
826826 3 record without a disciplinary violation.
827827 4 Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the
828828 5 Prisoner Review Board from ordering, pursuant to Section
829829 6 3-3-9(a)(3)(i)(B), that a prisoner serve up to one year of the
830830 7 sentence imposed by the court that was not served due to the

834834 11 Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
835835 12 their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
836836 13 finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the
837837 14 prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall
838838 15 conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit
839839 16 by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived
840840 17 of the sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
841841 18 provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
842842 19 If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence
843843 20 credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
844844 21 Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the
845845 22 prisoner.

862862 3 fact;
863863 4 (B) it is being presented for any improper
864864 5 purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary
865865 6 delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation;
866866 7 (C) the claims, defenses, and other legal
867867 8 contentions therein are not warranted by existing law
868868 9 or by a nonfrivolous argument for the extension,
869869 10 modification, or reversal of existing law or the
870870 11 establishment of new law;
871871 12 (D) the allegations and other factual contentions
872872 13 do not have evidentiary support or, if specifically so

875875 16 investigation or discovery; or
876876 17 (E) the denials of factual contentions are not
877877 18 warranted on the evidence, or if specifically so
878878 19 identified, are not reasonably based on a lack of
879879 20 information or belief.
