14of imprisonment by a court of another state or a federal court,

10 consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one
11 Class A misdemeanor.
12 (2) For sentences imposed under the law in effect on or
13 after February 1, 1978, the aggregate of consecutive
14 sentences for offenses that were committed as part of a
15 single course of conduct during which there was no
16 substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective
17 shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized
18 under Article 4.5 of Chapter V for the 2 most serious
19 felonies involved, but no such limitation shall apply for
20 offenses that were not committed as part of a single course
21 of conduct during which there was no substantial change in

23 for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be consecutively
24 sentenced to more than the maximum for one Class A

8 indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the

10 aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for
11 misdemeanors, subject to subsection (f) of this Section.
12 (2) The parole or mandatory supervised release term
13 shall be as provided in paragraph (e) of Section 5-4.5-50
14 (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-50) for the most serious of the offenses
15 involved.
16 (3) The minimum period of imprisonment shall be the
17 aggregate of the minimum and determinate periods of
18 imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to subsection
19 (f) of this Section.
20 (4) The defendant shall be awarded credit against the
21 aggregate maximum term and the aggregate minimum term of
22 imprisonment for all time served in an institution since
23 the commission of the offense or offenses and as a
24 consequence thereof at the rate specified in Section 3-6-3
25 (730 ILCS 5/3-6-3).
