SB 2928 and SB 4153 Firearm Offenses

Senate Bill 2928 (SB2928) proposes to increase penalties for Aggravated Vehicular Hijacking, Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Felon, Armed Habitual Criminal, and Use of a Stolen Weapon in the Commission of a Crime, by making the first offense a minimum 10 year sentence and a subsequent offense a life sentence. SB2928 also adds aggravating circumstances in which a person can be charged with Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm. Senate Bill 4153 (SB4153) proposes the same penalty increases as SB2928 and also amends the Juvenile Court Act (720 ILCS 405/5-750) to make attempted first degree murder and firearm offenses that result in death or bodily injury on school grounds when committed by a minor at least 13 years old a mandatory commitment to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) until the age of 21.
