People State of Illinois, respondent, v. Autum Vandenbergh, petitioner.
Petition for leave to appeal denied.
In the exercise of this Court's supervisory authority, the Appellate Court, Fifth District, is directed to vacate its judgment in People v. Vandenbergh, case No. 5-14-0437 (08/19/16). The appellate court is directed to reconsider its judgment in light of Public Act 99-0797 (eff. Aug. 12, 2016), which amended Article 8A of Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections (730 ILCS 5/5-8A) by changing the Article name from “the Electronic Home Detention Law” to “the Electronic Monitoring and Home Detention Law,” and amended the language throughout to expand the statute to include both electronic monitoring and home detention. The appellate court is also directed to address whether the amendments apply retroactively to the defendant.
