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.
