7the minor before the court at the temporary custody hearing,
8all witnesses present shall be examined before the court in
9relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
10the petition.
11    (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
12believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent it
13shall release the minor and dismiss the petition.
14    (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
15believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the
16court shall state in writing the factual basis supporting its
17finding and the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
18and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be
19examined before the court. The Department of Children and
20Family Services shall give testimony concerning indicated
21reports of abuse and neglect, of which they are aware of
22through the central registry, involving the minor's parent,
23guardian or custodian. After such testimony, the court may,
24consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the
25minor, enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 23 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1request of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
2guardian or custodian appears to take custody. If it is
3determined that a parent's, guardian's, or custodian's
4compliance with critical services mitigates the necessity for
5removal of the minor from his or her home, the court may enter
6an Order of Protection setting forth reasonable conditions of
7behavior that a parent, guardian, or custodian must observe for
8a specified period of time, not to exceed 12 months, without a
9violation; provided, however, that the 12-month period shall
10begin anew after any violation. Custodian shall include any
11agency of the State which has been given custody or wardship of
12the child. If it is consistent with the health, safety and best
13interests of the minor, the court may also prescribe shelter
14care and order that the minor be kept in a suitable place
15designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
16designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or
17a licensed child welfare agency; however, a minor charged with
18a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
19Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be
20placed in the custody of or committed to the Department of
21Children and Family Services by any court, except a minor less
22than 15 years of age and committed to the Department of
23Children and Family Services under Section 5-710 of this Act or
24a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
25dependency exists. An independent basis exists when the
26allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 24 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1not arise from the same facts, incident, or circumstances which
2give rise to a charge or adjudication of delinquency.
3    In placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall,
4to the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with
5Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act. In
6determining the health, safety and best interests of the minor
7to prescribe shelter care, the court must find that it is a
8matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the safety and
9protection of the minor or of the person or property of another
10that the minor be placed in a shelter care facility or that he
11or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and
12must further find that reasonable efforts have been made or
13that, consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
14the minor, no efforts reasonably can be made to prevent or
15eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
16home. The court shall require documentation from the Department
17of Children and Family Services as to the reasonable efforts
18that were made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal
19of the minor from his or her home or the reasons why no efforts
20reasonably could be made to prevent or eliminate the necessity
21of removal. When a minor is placed in the home of a relative,
22the Department of Children and Family Services shall complete a
23preliminary background review of the members of the minor's
24custodian's household in accordance with Section 4.3 of the
25Child Care Act of 1969 within 90 days of that placement. If the
26minor is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 25 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1Department of Children and Family Services or a licensed child
2welfare agency, the court shall, upon request of the
3appropriate Department or other agency, appoint the Department
4of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator or
5other appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the
6minor and the court may enter such other orders related to the
7temporary custody as it deems fit and proper, including the
8provision of services to the minor or his family to ameliorate
9the causes contributing to the finding of probable cause or to
10the finding of the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
11    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
12Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
13temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family
14Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a
15parent-child visiting plan, within 10 days, excluding weekends
16and holidays, after the appointment. The parent-child visiting
17plan shall set out the time and place of visits, the frequency
18of visits, the length of visits, who shall be present at the
19visits, and where appropriate, the minor's opportunities to
20have telephone and mail communication with the parents.
21    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
22Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
23temporary custodian, and when the child has siblings in care,
24the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with
25the court and serve on the parties a sibling placement and
26contact plan within 10 days, excluding weekends and holidays,

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 26 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1after the appointment. The sibling placement and contact plan
2shall set forth whether the siblings are placed together, and
3if they are not placed together, what, if any, efforts are
4being made to place them together. If the Department has
5determined that it is not in a child's best interest to be
6placed with a sibling, the Department shall document in the
7sibling placement and contact plan the basis for its
8determination. For siblings placed separately, the sibling
9placement and contact plan shall set the time and place for
10visits, the frequency of the visits, the length of visits, who
11shall be present for the visits, and where appropriate, the
12child's opportunities to have contact with their siblings in
13addition to in person contact. If the Department determines it
14is not in the best interest of a sibling to have contact with a
15sibling, the Department shall document in the sibling placement
16and contact plan the basis for its determination. The sibling
17placement and contact plan shall specify a date for development
18of the Sibling Contact Support Plan, under subsection (f) of
19Section 7.4 of the Children and Family Services Act, and shall
20remain in effect until the Sibling Contact Support Plan is
21developed.
22     For good cause, the court may waive the requirement to
23file the parent-child visiting plan or the sibling placement
24and contact plan, or extend the time for filing either plan.
25Any party may, by motion, request the court to review the
26parent-child visiting plan to determine whether it is

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 27 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
2achievement of the permanency goal. A party may, by motion,
3request the court to review the parent-child visiting plan or
4the sibling placement and contact plan to determine whether it
5is consistent with the minor's best interest. The court may
6refer the parties to mediation where available. The frequency,
7duration, and locations of visitation shall be measured by the
8needs of the child and family, and not by the convenience of
9Department personnel. Child development principles shall be
10considered by the court in its analysis of how frequent
11visitation should be, how long it should last, where it should
12take place, and who should be present. If upon motion of the
13party to review either plan and after receiving evidence, the
14court determines that the parent-child visiting plan is not
15reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
16achievement of the permanency goal or that the restrictions
17placed on parent-child contact or sibling placement or contact
18are contrary to the child's best interests, the court shall put
19in writing the factual basis supporting the determination and
20enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court shall
21enter an order for the Department to implement changes to the
22parent-child visiting plan or sibling placement or contact
23plan, consistent with the court's findings. At any stage of
24proceeding, any party may by motion request the court to enter
25any orders necessary to implement the parent-child visiting
26plan, sibling placement or contact plan or subsequently

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 28 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1developed Sibling Contact Support Plan. Nothing under this
2subsection (2) shall restrict the court from granting
3discretionary authority to the Department to increase
4opportunities for additional parent-child contacts or sibling
5contacts, without further court orders. Nothing in this
6subsection (2) shall restrict the Department from immediately
7restricting or terminating parent-child contact or sibling
8contacts, without either amending the parent-child visiting
9plan or the sibling contact plan or obtaining a court order,
10where the Department or its assigns reasonably believe that
11continuation of the contact, as set out in the plan, would be
12contrary to the child's health, safety, and welfare. The
13Department shall file with the court and serve on the parties
14any amendments to the plan within 10 days, excluding weekends
15and holidays, of the change of the visitation.
16    Acceptance of services shall not be considered an admission
17of any allegation in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor
18may a referral of services be considered as evidence in any
19proceeding pursuant to this Act, except where the issue is
20whether the Department has made reasonable efforts to reunite
21the family. In making its findings that it is consistent with
22the health, safety and best interests of the minor to prescribe
23shelter care, the court shall state in writing (i) the factual
24basis supporting its findings concerning the immediate and
25urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the
26person or property of another and (ii) the factual basis

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 29 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1supporting its findings that reasonable efforts were made to
2prevent or eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her
3home or that no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent or
4eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her home. The
5parents, guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor
6shall each be furnished a copy of such written findings. The
7temporary custodian shall maintain a copy of the court order
8and written findings in the case record for the child. The
9order together with the court's findings of fact in support
10thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
11    Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
12urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
13be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
14returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
15finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
16protection of the minor.
17    If the child is placed in the temporary custody of the
18Department of Children and Family Services for his or her
19protection, the court shall admonish the parents, guardian,
20custodian or responsible relative that the parents must
21cooperate with the Department of Children and Family Services,
22comply with the terms of the service plans, and correct the
23conditions which require the child to be in care, or risk
24termination of their parental rights.
25    (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor
26described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the moving party is

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 30 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1unable to serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
2care hearing may proceed ex-parte. A shelter care order from an
3ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and hour of
4issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered
5of record. The order shall expire after 10 days from the time
6it is issued unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a
7hearing upon appearance of the party respondent, or upon an
8affidavit of the moving party as to all diligent efforts to
9notify the party respondent by notice as herein prescribed. The
10notice prescribed shall be in writing and shall be personally
11delivered to the minor or the minor's attorney and to the last
12known address of the other person or persons entitled to
13notice. The notice shall also state the nature of the
14allegations, the nature of the order sought by the State,
15including whether temporary custody is sought, and the
16consequences of failure to appear and shall contain a notice
17that the parties will not be entitled to further written

19including the filing of an amended petition or a motion to
20terminate parental rights, except as required by Supreme Court

10immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to be
11placed in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall be
12presumed for any other minor residing in the same household as

1the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and urgent
2necessity for the protection of the minor or of the person or
3property of another that the minor be placed in a shelter care
4facility, or that he or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction
5of the court, and further finds that reasonable efforts have
6been made or good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts

9care and order that the minor be kept in a suitable place
10designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
11designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or
12a licensed child welfare agency; otherwise it shall release the
13minor from custody. If the court prescribes shelter care, then
14in placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall, to
15the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with

19agency, the court shall, upon request of the Department or
20other agency, appoint the Department of Children and Family

1existence of immediate and urgent necessity. Acceptance of
2services shall not be considered an admission of any allegation
3in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of

6has made reasonable efforts to reunite the family. In making
7its findings that reasonable efforts have been made or that
8good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot prevent
9or eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or
10her home, the court shall state in writing its findings
11concerning the nature of the services that were offered or the
12efforts that were made to prevent removal of the child and the
13apparent reasons that such services or efforts could not
14prevent the need for removal. The parents, guardian, custodian,
15temporary custodian and minor shall each be furnished a copy of
16such written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a
17copy of the court order and written findings in the case record
18for the child.
19    The order together with the court's findings of fact and
20support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.

23be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
24returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
25finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
26protection of the minor.

25    (c) Every electronic recording required under this Section
26must be preserved until such time as the minor's adjudication

1for any offense relating to the statement is final and all
2direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted, or the
3prosecution of such offenses is barred by law.
4    (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence,
5that the minor was subjected to a custodial interrogation in
6violation of this Section, then any statements made by the
7minor during or following that non-recorded custodial
8interrogation, even if otherwise in compliance with this
9Section, are presumed to be inadmissible in any criminal
10proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor
11except for the purposes of impeachment.
12    (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of
13a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal
14proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, before a grand jury,
15or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement made during a
16custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by
17this Section because electronic recording was not feasible,
18(iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or not the result of a
19custodial interrogation, that has a bearing on the credibility
20of the accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement
21that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
22made after questioning that is routinely asked during the
23processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
24made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
25requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
26interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is not

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 72 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1made of the statement, provided that an electronic recording is
2made of the statement of agreeing to respond to the
3interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the
4statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
5interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
6statement given at a time when the interrogators are unaware
7that a death has in fact occurred, or (ix) of any other
8statement that may be admissible under law. The State shall
9bear the burden of proving, by a preponderance of the evidence,
10that one of the exceptions described in this subsection (e) is
11applicable. Nothing in this Section precludes the admission of
12a statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
13used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
14    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made
15by a suspect at a custodial interrogation at a police station
16or other place of detention may be overcome by a preponderance
17of the evidence that the statement was voluntarily given and is
18reliable, based on the totality of the circumstances.
19    (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a
20minor during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by any
21law enforcement agency as required by this Section for the
22purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall
23be confidential and exempt from public inspection and copying,
24as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act,
25and the information shall not be transmitted to anyone except
26as needed to comply with this Section.

6minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court

15    time the minor was in detention.
16        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
17    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of

15years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
16adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
17or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
18apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
19not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court

15enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in the
16county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
17under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
18confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
19no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
20and adult prisoners.
21    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
22minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
23the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police

3    (705 ILCS 405/5-915)
4    Sec. 5-915. Expungement of juvenile law enforcement and
5court records.
6    (0.05) For purposes of this Section and Section 5-622:
7        "Expunge" means to physically destroy the records and
8    to obliterate the minor's name from any official index or
9    public record, or both. Nothing in this Act shall require
10    the physical destruction of the internal office records,
11    files, or databases maintained by a State's Attorney's
12    Office or other prosecutor.
13        "Law enforcement record" includes but is not limited to
14    records of arrest, station adjustments, fingerprints,
15    probation adjustments, the issuance of a notice to appear,
16    or any other records maintained by a law enforcement agency
17    relating to a minor suspected of committing an offense.
18    (1) Whenever any person has attained the age of 18 17 or
19whenever all juvenile court proceedings relating to that person
20have been terminated, whichever is later, the person may
21petition the court to expunge law enforcement records relating
22to incidents occurring before his or her 18th 17th birthday or
23his or her juvenile court records, or both, but only in the
24following circumstances:
25        (a) the minor was arrested and no petition for

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 95 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1    delinquency was filed with the clerk of the circuit court;
2    or
3        (b) the minor was charged with an offense and was found
4    not delinquent of that offense; or
5        (c) the minor was placed under supervision pursuant to
6    Section 5-615, and the order of supervision has since been
7    successfully terminated; or
8        (d) the minor was adjudicated for an offense which
9    would be a Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a
10    petty or business offense if committed by an adult.
11    (2) Any person may petition the court to expunge all law
12enforcement records relating to any incidents occurring before
13his or her 18th 17th birthday which did not result in
14proceedings in criminal court and all juvenile court records
15with respect to any adjudications except those based upon first
16degree murder and sex offenses which would be felonies if
17committed by an adult, if the person for whom expungement is
18sought has had no convictions for any crime since his or her
1918th 17th birthday and:
20        (a) has attained the age of 21 years; or
21        (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court
22    proceedings relating to him or her have been terminated or
23    his or her commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice
24    pursuant to this Act has been terminated;
25whichever is later of (a) or (b). Nothing in this Section 5-915
26precludes a minor from obtaining expungement under Section

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 96 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

15-622.
2    (2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for
3delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as
4provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) at the time the
5minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if
6applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
7agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or
8the minor's parents or guardians that if the State's Attorney
9does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right
10to petition to have his or her arrest record expunged when the
11minor attains the age of 18 17 or when all juvenile court
12proceedings relating to that minor have been terminated and
13that unless a petition to expunge is filed, the minor shall
14have an arrest record and shall provide the minor and the
15minor's parents or guardians with an expungement information
16packet, including a petition to expunge juvenile records
17obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
18    (2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is found
19not delinquent of that offense; or if a minor is placed under
20supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of supervision
21is successfully terminated; or if a minor is adjudicated for an
22offense that would be a Class B misdemeanor, a Class C
23misdemeanor, or a business or petty offense if committed by an
24adult; or if a minor has incidents occurring before his or her
2518th 17th birthday that have not resulted in proceedings in
26criminal court, or resulted in proceedings in juvenile court,

 

 

HB2404 Engrossed- 97 -LRB098 07733 RLC 37811 b

1and the adjudications were not based upon first degree murder
2or sex offenses that would be felonies if committed by an
3adult; then at the time of sentencing or dismissal of the case,
4the judge shall inform the delinquent minor of his or her right
5to petition for expungement as provided by law, and the clerk
6of the circuit court shall provide an expungement information
7packet to the delinquent minor, written in plain language,
8including a petition for expungement, a sample of a completed
9petition, expungement instructions that shall include
10information informing the minor that (i) once the case is
11expunged, it shall be treated as if it never occurred, (ii) he
12or she may apply to have petition fees waived, (iii) once he or
13she obtains an expungement, he or she may not be required to
14disclose that he or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) he or
15she may file the petition on his or her own or with the
16assistance of an attorney. The failure of the judge to inform
17the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for
18expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive
19right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an
20adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial; or (iii) an
21appeal.
22    (2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the
23clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a
24Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the
25address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the
26date that the minor attains the age of 18 17 based on the

1birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her
2guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of
3subsection (1); and when the minor attains the age of 21 based
4on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or
5her guardian in cases under subsection (2).
6    (2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (1) shall
