Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 3602 removes a provision that allowed the Attorney General or State's Attorney to request the court to impose a mandatory fine if it wasn't originally imposed. This change means that once a judge sets a sentence, it cannot be modified by prosecution to add fines after the fact. This matters because it simplifies the sentencing process and reduces potential pressure on judges to increase penalties, ensuring a more straightforward approach for defendants.
