Not law yet. Pending legislation.

Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
NOW: not law; referred to Senate Assignments 2/06/2025. IF CHAPTERED: 15/20/25-to-life firearm add-ons become discretionary, require personally armed and personally displaying, and lose the natural-life option. Present mandatory add-ons remain until then.
Defender utility
Illinois PDs on armed-violence / 15-20-life calendars: this is a pending sentencing rewrite, not present mandatory add-ons. If it moved, demand personal arming plus personal display and treat constructive or co-defendant gun facts as outside the add-on. 2026 narrower twin is SB 2867 / HB 4285. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. IL PDs on 15-20-life / armed-violence calendars — pending discretionary-add-on rewrite parked in Assignments, not present law; not a California charge.
Penalties (if chaptered)
Draft converts mandatory 15/20/25-to-life firearm add-ons to discretionary extra terms; deletes natural-life option on those add-ons. Not live.
