For purposes of this Title XIII, the following definitions shall
apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different
meaning:
ACT
The taking of action or a failure or omission to take action.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 2-2)
ANOTHER
A person or persons other than the offender. (ILCS Ch. 720,
Act 5, § 2-3)
CONDUCT
An act or a series of acts, and the accompanying mental state.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 2-4)
OFFENSE
A violation of a penal statute of this Village or state.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 2-12)
A person intends, or acts intentionally or with intent, to accomplish
a result or engage in conduct described by the section defining the
offense, when his or her conscious objective or purpose is to accomplish
that result or engage in that conduct. (ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 4-4)
A person is reckless or acts recklessly when he or she consciously
disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances
exist or that a result will follow, described by the section defining
the offense; and such disregard constitutes a gross deviation from
the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the
situation. An act performed recklessly is performed wantonly, within
the meaning of a section using the latter term, unless the statute
clearly requires another meaning. (ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 4-6)
A person is negligent, or acts negligently, when he or she fails
to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances
exist or a result will follow, described by the statute defining the
offense; and such failure constitutes a substantial deviation from
the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the
situation. (ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 4-7)
[Amended 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16]
Whoever violates any provisions of this Title XIII for which no other penalty is specified shall be subject to the penalty set forth in §
