Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 25. Procedure.

(a) The court shall order an eligibility screening and an
assessment of the minor by an agent designated by the

court finds a valid assessment related to the present charge
pending against the minor has been completed  within  the
previous 60 days.

(b) The judge shall inform the minor that if the
minor fails to meet the conditions of the drug court
program, eligibility to participate in the program may be
revoked and the minor may be sentenced or the prosecution
continued as provided in the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for
the crime charged.

(c) The minor shall execute a written agreement as
to his or her participation in the program and shall agree to
all of the terms and conditions of the program, including but

for failing to abide or comply with the terms of the program.

residential, or detention-based custodial treatment  program.  Any
period of time a minor shall serve in a detention-based
treatment program may not be reduced by the  accumulation of
good time or other credits and may be for a period of up to
120 days.

(e) The drug court program shall include a regimen of
graduated requirements and rewards and sanctions, including,
but not limited to: restitution, reasonable public service

therapy, drug analysis testing, close monitoring by the court
at a minimum of once every 30 days and supervision of
progress, educational or vocational counseling as
appropriate, and other requirements necessary to fulfill the
drug court program. Reasonable public service shall not interfere with school hours, school-related activities, or work commitments of the minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or legal custodian.

(f) Fines and assessments, such as fees or administrative costs, under this Section shall not be ordered or imposed against minors or their parents, guardians, or legal custodians.
