A BILL FOR
SB0843 LRB100 09985 RLC 20156 b
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by changing
Section 19-2 as follows:
(720 ILCS 5/19-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 19-2)
Sec. 19-2. Possession of burglary tools.
(a) A person commits possession of burglary tools when he
or she possesses any key, tool, instrument, device, or any
explosive, suitable for use in breaking into a building,
housetrailer, watercraft, aircraft, motor vehicle, railroad
car, or any depository designed for the the safekeeping of
property, or any part thereof, with intent to enter that place
and with intent to commit therein a felony or theft. The trier
of fact may infer from the possession of a key designed for
lock bumping an intent to commit a felony or theft; however,
this inference does not apply to any peace officer or other
employee of a law enforcement agency, or to any person or
agency licensed under the Private Detective, Private Alarm,
Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of
2004. For the purposes of this Section, "lock bumping" means a
lock picking technique for opening a pin tumbler lock using a
specially-crafted bumpkey.

SB0843 - 2 - LRB100 09985 RLC 20156 b
(b) Sentence.
Possession of burglary tools is a Class 4 felony.
