10necessity. The court shall consider the psychological
11evaluation in conjunction with the other factors identified in
12subdivision (2) of Section 5-501 of this Act in order to make a
13de novo determination regarding whether it is a matter of
14immediate and urgent necessity for the protection of the minor
15or of the person or property of another that the minor be

22risk to himself, herself, or others, the court shall issue an
23order restraining the student from entering the property of the

6    (d) Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to
7subsection (b) of this Section and statements made by the minor

11    prosecution under the criminal laws and the petition
12    alleges a minor 15 years of age or older of an act that

1    the offense committed is in furtherance of the criminal
2    activities of an organized gang; (iv) armed violence with a

2    407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act) and, if the
3    juvenile judge assigned to hear and determine motions to
4    transfer a case for prosecution in the criminal court
5    determines that there is probable cause to believe that the
6    allegations in the petition and motion are true, there is a
7    rebuttable presumption that the minor is not a fit and
8    proper subject to be dealt with under the Juvenile Justice
9    Reform Provisions of 1998 (Public Act 90-590), and that,
10    except as provided in paragraph (b), the case should be
11    transferred to the criminal court.
12        (b) The judge shall enter an order permitting
13    prosecution under the criminal laws of Illinois unless the
14    judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing
15    evidence that the minor would be amenable to the care,
16    treatment, and training programs available through the
17    facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
18    the following:
19            (i) the age of the minor;
20            (ii) the history of the minor, including:
21                (A) any previous delinquent or criminal

1            factors;
2            (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:
3                (A) the seriousness of the offense,
4                (B) whether the minor is charged through
5            accountability,
6                (C) whether there is evidence the offense was
7            committed in an aggressive and premeditated
8            manner,
9                (D) whether there is evidence the offense
10            caused serious bodily harm,
11                (E) whether there is evidence the minor
12            possessed a deadly weapon;
13            (iv) the advantages of treatment within the
14        juvenile justice system including whether there are
15        facilities or programs, or both, particularly
16        available in the juvenile system;
17            (v) whether the security of the public requires
18        sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
19        Corrections:
20                (A) the minor's history of services, including
21            the minor's willingness to participate

1            services.
2        In considering these factors, the court shall give
3    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense

7    "School" means a public or private elementary or secondary
8school, community college, college, or university.

11participation is sponsored, organized, or funded in whole or in
12part by a school or school district.
13    (3) Discretionary transfer.
14        (a) If a petition alleges commission by a minor 13
15    years of age or over of an act that constitutes a crime
16    under the laws of this State and, on motion of the State's
17    Attorney to permit prosecution of the minor under the
18    criminal laws, a Juvenile Judge assigned by the Chief Judge
19    of the Circuit to hear and determine those motions, after
20    hearing but before commencement of the trial, finds that
21    there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in
22    the motion are true and that it is not in the best
23    interests of the public to proceed under this Act, the
24    court may enter an order permitting prosecution under the
25    criminal laws.
26        (b) In making its determination on the motion to permit

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 24 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1    prosecution under the criminal laws, the court shall
2    consider among other matters:
3            (i) the age of the minor;
4            (ii) the history of the minor, including:
5                (A) any previous delinquent or criminal
6            history of the minor,
7                (B) any previous abuse or neglect history of
8            the minor, and
9                (C) any mental health, physical, or
10            educational history of the minor or combination of
11            these factors;
12            (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:
13                (A) the seriousness of the offense,
14                (B) whether the minor is charged through
15            accountability,
16                (C) whether there is evidence the offense was
17            committed in an aggressive and premeditated
18            manner,
19                (D) whether there is evidence the offense
20            caused serious bodily harm,
21                (E) whether there is evidence the minor
22            possessed a deadly weapon;
23            (iv) the advantages of treatment within the
24        juvenile justice system including whether there are
25        facilities or programs, or both, particularly
26        available in the juvenile system;

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 25 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1            (v) whether the security of the public requires
2        sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
3        Corrections:
4                (A) the minor's history of services, including
5            the minor's willingness to participate
6            meaningfully in available services;
7                (B) whether there is a reasonable likelihood
8            that the minor can be rehabilitated before the
9            expiration of the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
10                (C) the adequacy of the punishment or
11            services.
12        In considering these factors, the court shall give
13    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense,
14    and the minor's prior record of delinquency than to the
15    other factors listed in this subsection.
16    (4) The rules of evidence for this hearing shall be the
17same as under Section 5-705 of this Act. A minor must be
18represented in court by counsel before the hearing may be
19commenced.
20    (5) If criminal proceedings are instituted, the petition
21for adjudication of wardship shall be dismissed insofar as the
22act or acts involved in the criminal proceedings. Taking of
23evidence in a trial on petition for adjudication of wardship is
24a bar to criminal proceedings based upon the conduct alleged in
25the petition.
26    (6) When criminal prosecution is permitted under this

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 26 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1Section and a finding of guilt is entered, the criminal court
2shall sentence the minor under Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified
3Code of Corrections.
4    (7) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act
5of the 99th General Assembly apply to a minor who has been

10    Sec. 5-810. Extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions.
11    (1) (a) If the State's Attorney files a petition, at any
12time prior to commencement of the minor's trial, to designate
13the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile
14prosecution and the petition alleges the commission by a minor
1513 years of age or older of any offense which would be a felony
16if committed by an adult, and, if the juvenile judge assigned
17to hear and determine petitions to designate the proceeding as
18an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines that
19there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in the
20petition and motion are true, there is a rebuttable presumption
21that the proceeding shall be designated as an extended
22jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
23    (b) The judge shall enter an order designating the
24proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding
25unless the judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 27 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1evidence that sentencing under the Chapter V of the Unified
2Code of Corrections would not be appropriate for the minor
3based on an evaluation of the following factors:
4        (i) the age of the minor;
5        (ii) the history of the minor, including:
6            (A) any previous delinquent or criminal history of
7        the minor,
8            (B) any previous abuse or neglect history of the
9        minor, and
10            (C) any mental health, physical and/or educational
11        history of the minor;
12        (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:
13            (A) the seriousness of the offense,
14            (B) whether the minor is charged through
15        accountability,
16            (C) whether there is evidence the offense was
17        committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner,
18            (D) whether there is evidence the offense caused
19        serious bodily harm,
20            (E) whether there is evidence the minor possessed a
21        deadly weapon;
22        (iv) the advantages of treatment within the juvenile
23    justice system including whether there are facilities or
24    programs, or both, particularly available in the juvenile
25    system;
26        (v) whether the security of the public requires

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 28 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1    sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
2    Corrections:
3            (A) the minor's history of services, including the
4        minor's willingness to participate meaningfully in
5        available services;
6            (B) whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
7        the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of
8        the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
9            (C) the adequacy of the punishment or services.
10    In considering these factors, the court shall give greater
11weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense, and the
12minor's prior record of delinquency than to other factors
13listed in this subsection.
14    (2) Procedures for extended jurisdiction juvenile
15prosecutions. The State's Attorney may file a written motion
16for a proceeding to be designated as an extended juvenile
17jurisdiction prior to commencement of trial. Notice of the
18motion shall be in compliance with Section 5-530. When the
19State's Attorney files a written motion that a proceeding be
20designated an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the
21court shall commence a hearing within 30 days of the filing of
22the motion for designation, unless good cause is shown by the
23prosecution or the minor as to why the hearing could not be
24held within this time period. If the court finds good cause has
25been demonstrated, then the hearing shall be held within 60
26days of the filing of the motion. The hearings shall be open to

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 29 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1the public unless the judge finds that the hearing should be
2closed for the protection of any party, victim or witness. If
3the Juvenile Judge assigned to hear and determine a motion to
4designate an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution
5determines that there is probable cause to believe that the
6allegations in the petition and motion are true the court shall
7grant the motion for designation. Information used by the court
8in its findings or stated in or offered in connection with this
9Section may be by way of proffer based on reliable information
10offered by the State or the minor. All evidence shall be
11admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless of whether
12it would be admissible under the rules of evidence.
13    (3) Trial. A minor who is subject of an extended
14jurisdiction juvenile prosecution has the right to trial by
15jury. Any trial under this Section shall be open to the public.
16    (4) Sentencing. If an extended jurisdiction juvenile
17prosecution under subsection (1) results in a guilty plea, a
18verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilt, the court shall
19impose the following:
20        (i) one or more juvenile sentences under Section 5-710;
21    and
22        (ii) an adult criminal sentence in accordance with the
23    provisions of Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of
24    Corrections Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
25    the execution of which shall be stayed on the condition
26    that the offender not violate the provisions of the

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 30 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1    juvenile sentence.
2Any sentencing hearing under this Section shall be open to the
3public.
4    (5) If, after an extended jurisdiction juvenile
5prosecution trial, a minor is convicted of a lesser-included
6offense or of an offense that the State's Attorney did not
7designate as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution,
8the State's Attorney may file a written motion, within 10 days
9of the finding of guilt, that the minor be sentenced as an
10extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution offender. The court
11shall rule on this motion using the factors found in paragraph
12(1)(b) of Section 5-805. If the court denies the State's
13Attorney's motion for sentencing under the extended
14jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the court shall
15proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
16    (6) When it appears that a minor convicted in an extended
17jurisdiction juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) has
18violated the conditions of his or her sentence, or is alleged
19to have committed a new offense upon the filing of a petition
20to revoke the stay, the court may, without notice, issue a
21warrant for the arrest of the minor. After a hearing, if the
22court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the minor
23committed a new offense, the court shall order execution of the
24previously imposed adult criminal sentence. After a hearing, if
25the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the
26minor committed a violation of his or her sentence other than

 

 

09900HB3718sam001- 31 -LRB099 11130 RLC 35152 a

1by a new offense, the court may order execution of the
2previously imposed adult criminal sentence or may continue him
3or her on the existing juvenile sentence with or without
4modifying or enlarging the conditions. Upon revocation of the
5stay of the adult criminal sentence and imposition of that
6sentence, the minor's extended jurisdiction juvenile status
7shall be terminated. The on-going jurisdiction over the minor's
8case shall be assumed by the adult criminal court and juvenile
9court jurisdiction shall be terminated and a report of the
10imposition of the adult sentence shall be sent to the
11Department of State Police.
12    (7) Upon successful completion of the juvenile sentence the
13court shall vacate the adult criminal sentence.
14    (8) Nothing in this Section precludes the State from filing
15a motion for transfer under Section 5-805.
