11enforcement and juvenile court records other than delinquency
12proceedings. Whenever any person has attained the age of 21 18
13or whenever all juvenile court proceedings relating to that
14person have been terminated, whichever is later, the person may
15petition the court to expunge law enforcement records relating

14the minor before the court at the temporary custody hearing,
15all witnesses present shall be examined before the court in
16relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
17the petition.
18    (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
19believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent it
20shall release the minor and dismiss the petition.
21    (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
22believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the
23court shall state in writing the factual basis supporting its
24finding and the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
25and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be

 

 

HB6191- 23 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1examined before the court. The Department of Children and
2Family Services shall give testimony concerning indicated
3reports of abuse and neglect, of which they are aware of
4through the central registry, involving the minor's parent,
5guardian or custodian. After such testimony, the court may,
6consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the
7minor, enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the
8request of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
9guardian or custodian appears to take custody. If it is
10determined that a parent's, guardian's, or custodian's
11compliance with critical services mitigates the necessity for
12removal of the minor from his or her home, the court may enter
13an Order of Protection setting forth reasonable conditions of
14behavior that a parent, guardian, or custodian must observe for
15a specified period of time, not to exceed 12 months, without a
16violation; provided, however, that the 12-month period shall
17begin anew after any violation. Custodian shall include any
18agency of the State which has been given custody or wardship of
19the child. If it is consistent with the health, safety and best
20interests of the minor, the court may also prescribe shelter
21care and order that the minor be kept in a suitable place
22designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
23designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or
24a licensed child welfare agency; however, on and after January
251, 2015 (the effective date of Public Act 98-803) this
26amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and before January

 

 

HB6191- 24 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

11, 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
2Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
3adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
4committed to the Department of Children and Family Services by
5any court, except a minor less than 16 years of age and
6committed to the Department of Children and Family Services
7under Section 5-710 of this Act or a minor for whom an
8independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists; and
9on and after January 1, 2017, a minor charged with a criminal
10offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
112012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the
12custody of or committed to the Department of Children and
13Family Services by any court, except a minor less than 15 years
14of age and committed to the Department of Children and Family
15Services under Section 5-710 of this Act or a minor for whom an
16independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists. An
17independent basis exists when the allegations or adjudication
18of abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from the same
19facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise to a charge
20or adjudication of delinquency.
21    In placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall,
22to the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with
23Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act. In
24determining the health, safety and best interests of the minor
25to prescribe shelter care, the court must find that it is a
26matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the safety and

 

 

HB6191- 25 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1protection of the minor or of the person or property of another
2that the minor be placed in a shelter care facility or that he
3or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and
4must further find that reasonable efforts have been made or
5that, consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
6the minor, no efforts reasonably can be made to prevent or
7eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
8home. The court shall require documentation from the Department
9of Children and Family Services as to the reasonable efforts
10that were made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal
11of the minor from his or her home or the reasons why no efforts
12reasonably could be made to prevent or eliminate the necessity
13of removal. When a minor is placed in the home of a relative,
14the Department of Children and Family Services shall complete a
15preliminary background review of the members of the minor's
16custodian's household in accordance with Section 4.3 of the
17Child Care Act of 1969 within 90 days of that placement. If the
18minor is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the
19Department of Children and Family Services or a licensed child
20welfare agency, the court shall, upon request of the
21appropriate Department or other agency, appoint the Department
22of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator or
23other appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the
24minor and the court may enter such other orders related to the
25temporary custody as it deems fit and proper, including the
26provision of services to the minor or his family to ameliorate

 

 

HB6191- 26 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1the causes contributing to the finding of probable cause or to
2the finding of the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
3    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
4Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
5temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family
6Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a
7parent-child visiting plan, within 10 days, excluding weekends
8and holidays, after the appointment. The parent-child visiting
9plan shall set out the time and place of visits, the frequency
10of visits, the length of visits, who shall be present at the
11visits, and where appropriate, the minor's opportunities to
12have telephone and mail communication with the parents.
13    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
14Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
15temporary custodian, and when the child has siblings in care,
16the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with
17the court and serve on the parties a sibling placement and
18contact plan within 10 days, excluding weekends and holidays,
19after the appointment. The sibling placement and contact plan
20shall set forth whether the siblings are placed together, and
21if they are not placed together, what, if any, efforts are
22being made to place them together. If the Department has
23determined that it is not in a child's best interest to be
24placed with a sibling, the Department shall document in the
25sibling placement and contact plan the basis for its
26determination. For siblings placed separately, the sibling

 

 

HB6191- 27 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1placement and contact plan shall set the time and place for
2visits, the frequency of the visits, the length of visits, who
3shall be present for the visits, and where appropriate, the
4child's opportunities to have contact with their siblings in
5addition to in person contact. If the Department determines it
6is not in the best interest of a sibling to have contact with a
7sibling, the Department shall document in the sibling placement
8and contact plan the basis for its determination. The sibling
9placement and contact plan shall specify a date for development
10of the Sibling Contact Support Plan, under subsection (f) of
11Section 7.4 of the Children and Family Services Act, and shall
12remain in effect until the Sibling Contact Support Plan is
13developed.
14     For good cause, the court may waive the requirement to
15file the parent-child visiting plan or the sibling placement
16and contact plan, or extend the time for filing either plan.
17Any party may, by motion, request the court to review the
18parent-child visiting plan to determine whether it is
19reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
20achievement of the permanency goal. A party may, by motion,
21request the court to review the parent-child visiting plan or
22the sibling placement and contact plan to determine whether it
23is consistent with the minor's best interest. The court may
24refer the parties to mediation where available. The frequency,
25duration, and locations of visitation shall be measured by the
26needs of the child and family, and not by the convenience of

 

 

HB6191- 28 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1Department personnel. Child development principles shall be
2considered by the court in its analysis of how frequent
3visitation should be, how long it should last, where it should
4take place, and who should be present. If upon motion of the
5party to review either plan and after receiving evidence, the
6court determines that the parent-child visiting plan is not
7reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
8achievement of the permanency goal or that the restrictions
9placed on parent-child contact or sibling placement or contact
10are contrary to the child's best interests, the court shall put
11in writing the factual basis supporting the determination and
12enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court shall
13enter an order for the Department to implement changes to the
14parent-child visiting plan or sibling placement or contact
15plan, consistent with the court's findings. At any stage of
16proceeding, any party may by motion request the court to enter
17any orders necessary to implement the parent-child visiting
18plan, sibling placement or contact plan or subsequently
19developed Sibling Contact Support Plan. Nothing under this
20subsection (2) shall restrict the court from granting
21discretionary authority to the Department to increase
22opportunities for additional parent-child contacts or sibling
23contacts, without further court orders. Nothing in this
24subsection (2) shall restrict the Department from immediately
25restricting or terminating parent-child contact or sibling
26contacts, without either amending the parent-child visiting

 

 

HB6191- 29 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1plan or the sibling contact plan or obtaining a court order,
2where the Department or its assigns reasonably believe that
3continuation of the contact, as set out in the plan, would be
4contrary to the child's health, safety, and welfare. The
5Department shall file with the court and serve on the parties
6any amendments to the plan within 10 days, excluding weekends
7and holidays, of the change of the visitation.
8    Acceptance of services shall not be considered an admission
9of any allegation in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor
10may a referral of services be considered as evidence in any
11proceeding pursuant to this Act, except where the issue is
12whether the Department has made reasonable efforts to reunite
13the family. In making its findings that it is consistent with
14the health, safety and best interests of the minor to prescribe
15shelter care, the court shall state in writing (i) the factual
16basis supporting its findings concerning the immediate and
17urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the
18person or property of another and (ii) the factual basis
19supporting its findings that reasonable efforts were made to
20prevent or eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her
21home or that no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent or
22eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her home. The
23parents, guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor
24shall each be furnished a copy of such written findings. The
25temporary custodian shall maintain a copy of the court order
26and written findings in the case record for the child. The

 

 

HB6191- 30 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1order together with the court's findings of fact in support
2thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
3    Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
4urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
5be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
6returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
7finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
8protection of the minor.
9    If the child is placed in the temporary custody of the
10Department of Children and Family Services for his or her
11protection, the court shall admonish the parents, guardian,
12custodian or responsible relative that the parents must
13cooperate with the Department of Children and Family Services,
14comply with the terms of the service plans, and correct the
15conditions which require the child to be in care, or risk
16termination of their parental rights.
17    (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor
18described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3, and 4-3 the moving party
19is unable to serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
20care hearing may proceed ex parte ex-parte. A shelter care
21order from an ex parte ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with
22the date and hour of issuance and shall be filed with the
23clerk's office and entered of record. The order shall expire
24after 10 days from the time it is issued unless before its
25expiration it is renewed, at a hearing upon appearance of the
26party respondent, or upon an affidavit of the moving party as

 

 

HB6191- 31 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1to all diligent efforts to notify the party respondent by
2notice as herein prescribed. The notice prescribed shall be in
3writing and shall be personally delivered to the minor or the
4minor's attorney and to the last known address of the other
5person or persons entitled to notice. The notice shall also
6state the nature of the allegations, the nature of the order
7sought by the State, including whether temporary custody is
8sought, and the consequences of failure to appear and shall
9contain a notice that the parties will not be entitled to
10further written notices or publication notices of proceedings
11in this case, including the filing of an amended petition or a
12motion to terminate parental rights, except as required by
13Supreme Court Rule 11; and shall explain the right of the
14parties and the procedures to vacate or modify a shelter care
15order as provided in this Section. The notice for a shelter
16care hearing shall be substantially as follows:

23representatives, on notice to all parties entitled to notice,
24may file a motion that it is in the best interests of the minor
25to modify or vacate a temporary custody order on any of the
26following grounds:

 

 

HB6191- 36 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1        (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent
2    necessity that the minor remain in shelter care; or
3        (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of
4    the natural family from which the minor was removed and the
5    child can be cared for at home without endangering the
6    child's health or safety; or
7        (c) A person not a party to the alleged abuse, neglect
8    or dependency, including a parent, relative or legal
9    guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
10    minor; or
11        (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and
12    Family Services or a child welfare agency or other service
13    provider have been successful in eliminating the need for
14    temporary custody and the child can be cared for at home
15    without endangering the child's health or safety.
16    In ruling on the motion, the court shall determine whether
17it is consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
18the minor to modify or vacate a temporary custody order.
19    The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
2014 days after such motion is filed. In the event that the court
21modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does not
22vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order that
23appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf of the
24minor and his or her family.
25    (10) When the court finds or has found that there is
26probable cause to believe a minor is an abused minor as

 

 

HB6191- 37 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1described in subsection (2) of Section 2-3 and that there is an
2immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to be
3placed in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall be
4presumed for any other minor residing in the same household as
5the abused minor provided:
6        (a) Such other minor is the subject of an abuse or
7    neglect petition pending before the court; and
8        (b) A party to the petition is seeking shelter care for
9    such other minor.
10    Once the presumption of immediate and urgent necessity has
11been raised, the burden of demonstrating the lack of immediate
12and urgent necessity shall be on any party that is opposing
13shelter care for the other minor.
14    (11) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61
15apply to a minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on
16or after January 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
1798-61).

1the petition.
2    (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
3believe that the minor is a person requiring authoritative
4intervention, it shall release the minor and dismiss the
5petition.
6    (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
7believe that the minor is a person requiring authoritative
8intervention, the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
9and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be
10examined before the court. After such testimony, the court may
11enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the
12request of a parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
13guardian or custodian appears to take custody. Custodian shall
14include any agency of the State which has been given custody or
15wardship of the child. The Court shall require documentation by
16representatives of the Department of Children and Family
17Services or the probation department as to the reasonable
18efforts that were made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of
19removal of the minor from his or her home, and shall consider
20the testimony of any person as to those reasonable efforts. If
21the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and urgent
22necessity for the protection of the minor or of the person or
23property of another that the minor be placed in a shelter care
24facility, or that he or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction
25of the court, and further finds that reasonable efforts have
26been made or good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts

 

 

HB6191- 39 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1cannot prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of the
2minor from his or her home, the court may prescribe shelter
3care and order that the minor be kept in a suitable place
4designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
5designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or
6a licensed child welfare agency; otherwise it shall release the
7minor from custody. If the court prescribes shelter care, then
8in placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall, to
9the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with
10Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act. If the minor
11is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the Department
12of Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare
13agency, the court shall, upon request of the Department or
14other agency, appoint the Department of Children and Family
15Services Guardianship Administrator or other appropriate
16agency executive temporary custodian of the minor and the court
17may enter such other orders related to the temporary custody as
18it deems fit and proper, including the provision of services to
19the minor or his family to ameliorate the causes contributing
20to the finding of probable cause or to the finding of the
21existence of immediate and urgent necessity. Acceptance of
22services shall not be considered an admission of any allegation
23in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of
24services be considered as evidence in any proceeding pursuant
25to this Act, except where the issue is whether the Department
26has made reasonable efforts to reunite the family. In making

 

 

HB6191- 40 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1its findings that reasonable efforts have been made or that
2good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot prevent
3or eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or
4her home, the court shall state in writing its findings
5concerning the nature of the services that were offered or the
6efforts that were made to prevent removal of the child and the
7apparent reasons that such services or efforts could not
8prevent the need for removal. The parents, guardian, custodian,
9temporary custodian and minor shall each be furnished a copy of
10such written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a
11copy of the court order and written findings in the case record
12for the child.
13    The order together with the court's findings of fact and
14support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
15    Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
16urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
17be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
18returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
19finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
20protection of the minor.
21    (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor
22described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3, and 4-3 the petitioner is
23unable to serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
24care hearing may proceed ex parte ex-parte. A shelter care
25order from an ex parte ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with
26the date and hour of issuance and shall be filed with the

22admissible at the hearing. In all cases, the judge shall enter

19custodial interrogation conducted under this Section of a minor
20who, at the time of the commission of the offense was under the
21age of 21 17 years, the minor makes a statement that creates a
22reasonable suspicion to believe the minor has committed an act
23that if committed by an adult would be an offense other than an
24offense required to be recorded under subsection (b) or (b-5),
25the interrogators may, without the minor's consent, continue to
26record the interrogation as it relates to the other offense

 

 

HB6191- 66 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary. Any oral,
2written, or sign language statement of a minor made as a result
3of an interrogation under this subsection shall be presumed to
4be inadmissible as evidence against the minor in any criminal
5proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, unless the recording

11such offenses is barred by law.
12    (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence,
13that the minor was subjected to a custodial interrogation in
14violation of this Section, then any statements made by the
15minor during or following that non-recorded custodial

18proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor
19except for the purposes of impeachment.
20    (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of
21a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal
22proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, before a grand jury,
23or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement made during a
24custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by
25this Section because electronic recording was not feasible,
26(iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or not the result of a

 

 

HB6191- 67 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1custodial interrogation, that has a bearing on the credibility
2of the accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement
3that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
4made after questioning that is routinely asked during the
5processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
6made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
7requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
8interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is not
9made of the statement, provided that an electronic recording is
10made of the statement of agreeing to respond to the
11interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the
12statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
13interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
14statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when
15the interrogators are unaware that a death has in fact
16occurred, (ix) of a statement given in violation of subsection
17(b-5) at a time when the interrogators are unaware of facts and
18circumstances that would create probable cause to believe that
19the minor committed an act that if committed by an adult would
20be an offense required to be recorded under subsection (b-5),
21or (x) of any other statement that may be admissible under law.
22The State shall bear the burden of proving, by a preponderance
23of the evidence, that one of the exceptions described in this
24subsection (e) is applicable. Nothing in this Section precludes
25the admission of a statement, otherwise inadmissible under this
26Section, that is used only for impeachment and not as

 

 

HB6191- 68 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1substantive evidence.
2    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made
3by a suspect at a custodial interrogation at a police station
4or other place of detention may be overcome by a preponderance
5of the evidence that the statement was voluntarily given and is
6reliable, based on the totality of the circumstances.
7    (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a
8minor during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by any
9law enforcement agency as required by this Section for the
10purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall
11be confidential and exempt from public inspection and copying,
12as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act,
13and the information shall not be transmitted to anyone except
14as needed to comply with this Section.
15    (h) A statement, admission, confession, or incriminating
16information made by or obtained from a minor related to the
17instant offense, as part of any behavioral health screening,
18assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not
19court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the
20minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court
21proceeding. The provisions of this subsection (h) are in
22addition to and do not override any existing statutory and
23constitutional prohibition on the admission into evidence in
24delinquency proceedings of information obtained during
25screening, assessment, or treatment.

15    and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or
16    yard with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons
17    21 18 years of age and older who have a petition of
18    delinquency filed against them may be confined in an adult
19    detention facility. In making a determination whether to

8or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
9years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
10adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
11or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
12apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
13not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court
14designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time
15period, county jails shall comply with all monitoring standards

10under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
11confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
12no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
13and adult prisoners.
14    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
15minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
16the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
17officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,

23she may file the petition on his or her own or with the
24assistance of an attorney. The failure of the judge to inform

HB6191- 96 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an
2adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial; or (iii) an
3appeal.

4until after his 21st birthday, he shall continue to be subject
5to the control and custody of the Department of Juvenile

9the Department of Corrections.
10    (c) Any interdivisional transfer hearing conducted
11pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shall consider all

20    found guilty and the length of the sentence the minor has
21    to serve and the record and previous history of the minor.

7    minor and an assessment of the vocational potential of the
8    minor.
9        5. An assessment of the necessity for transfer of the
10    minor, including, but not limited to, the availability of
11    space within the Department of Corrections, the
12    disciplinary and security problem which the minor has
13    presented to the Department of Juvenile Justice and the
14    practicability of maintaining the minor in a juvenile
15    facility, whether resources have been exhausted within the
16    Department of Juvenile Justice, the availability of
17    rehabilitative and vocational programs within the
18    Department of Corrections, and the anticipated ability of
19    the minor to adjust to confinement within an adult
20    institution based upon the minor's physical size and
21    maturity.
22    All relevant factors considered under this subsection need
23not be resolved against the juvenile in order to justify such
24transfer. Access to social records, probation reports or any
25other reports which are considered by the court for the purpose

13Director or his designee may authorize the emergency transfer
14of such person, unless the transfer of the person is governed
15by subsection (e) of this Section. The sentencing court shall
16be provided notice of any emergency transfer no later than 3
17days after the emergency transfer. Upon motion brought within
1860 days of the emergency transfer by the sentencing court or
19any party, the sentencing court may conduct a hearing pursuant
20to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section in order to
21determine whether the person shall remain confined in the
22Department of Corrections.
23    (e) The Director of Juvenile Justice or his designee may
24authorize the permanent transfer to the Department of
25Corrections of any person 21 18 years or older who was

3Section 5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and committed
4to the Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-8-6 of
5this Act. The Director of Juvenile Justice or his designee
6shall be governed by the following factors in determining
7whether to authorize the permanent transfer of the person to
8the Department of Corrections:
9        1. The nature of the offense for which the person was
10    found guilty and the length of the sentence the person has
11    to serve and the record and previous history of the person.
12        2. The record of the person's adjustment within the
13    Department of Juvenile Justice, including, but not limited
14    to, reports from the person's counselor, any escapes,
15    attempted escapes or violent or disruptive conduct on the
16    part of the person, any tickets received by the person,
17    summaries of classes attended by the person, and any record
18    of work performed by the person while in the institution.
19        3. The relative maturity of the person based upon the
20    physical, psychological and emotional development of the
21    person.
22        4. The record of the rehabilitative progress of the
23    person and an assessment of the vocational potential of the
24    person.
25        5. An assessment of the necessity for transfer of the
26    person, including, but not limited to, the availability of

 

 

HB6191- 120 -LRB099 17793 SLF 42155 b

1    space within the Department of Corrections, the
