31 license or permit of the person so convicted.
32 The reporting requirements of this subsection shall apply
33 to all violations stated in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this
34 subsection when the individual has been adjudicated under the
-4- LRB9002490WHmg
1 Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Such
2 reporting requirements shall also apply to individuals
3 adjudicated under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile
4 Court Act of 1987 who have committed a violation of Section
5 11-501 of this Code, or similar provision of a local
6 ordinance, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as
7 amended, relating to the offense of reckless homicide. The
8 reporting requirements of this subsection shall also apply to

10 of 1987 as requiring authoritative intervention, a truant
11 minor in need of supervision, an addicted minor, or a
12 delinquent minor and whose driver's license and privilege to

17 State a report of the adjudication and the court order

19 driver's license and driving privilege until he or she
20 attains the age of 18 years. All juvenile court dispositions
21 reported to the Secretary of State under this provision shall
22 be processed by the Secretary of State as if the cases had
23 been adjudicated in traffic or criminal court. However,
24 information reported relative to the offense of reckless
25 homicide, or Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar
26 provision of a local ordinance, shall be privileged and
27 available only to the Secretary of State, courts, and police
28 officers.
29 3. Whenever an order is entered vacating the
30 forfeiture of any bail, security or bond given to secure
31 appearance for any offense under this Code or similar
32 offenses under municipal ordinance, it shall be the duty
33 of the clerk of the court in which such vacation was had
34 or the judge of such court if such court has no clerk,
-5- LRB9002490WHmg
1 within 10 days thereafter to forward to the Secretary of
2 State a report of the vacation.
3 4. A report of any disposition of court supervision
4 for a violation of Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a

6 shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State.
7 5. Reports of conviction and adjudications under
8 the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in a computer processible
9 medium shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State via
10 the Supreme Court in the form and format required by the
11 Illinois Supreme Court and established by a written
12 agreement between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of
13 State. In counties with a population over 300,000,
14 instead of forwarding reports to the Supreme Court,
15 reports of conviction and adjudications under the
16 Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in a computer processible
17 medium may be forwarded to the Secretary of State by the
18 Circuit Court Clerk in a form and format required by the
19 Secretary of State and established by written agreement
20 between the Circuit Court Clerk and the Secretary of
21 State. Failure to forward the reports of conviction or
22 adjudications under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 as
23 required by this Section shall be deemed an omission of
24 duty and it shall be the duty of the several State's
25 Attorneys to enforce the requirements of this Section.
26 (b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to
27 a court, as a result of confiscation by a police officer
28 pursuant to the authority in Section 6-113(f), it shall be
29 the duty of the clerk, or judge, if the court has no clerk,
30 to forward such restricted driving permit and a facsimile of
31 the officer's citation to the Secretary of State as
32 expeditiously as practicable.
33 (c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail
34 or collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in
-6- LRB9002490WHmg
1 court when forfeiture has not been vacated, or the failure of
2 a defendant to appear for trial after depositing his driver's
3 license in lieu of other bail, shall be equivalent to a
4 conviction.
5 (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
6 with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver
7 performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition
8 of repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall
9 forward to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by
10 the Secretary, records of driver's participation in a driver
11 remedial or rehabilitative program which was required,
12 through a court order or court supervision, in relation to
13 the driver's arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of this
14 Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance. Such
15 reports shall be sent within 10 days after the driver's
16 referral to such driver remedial or rehabilitative program.
17 Such reports, including those required to be forwarded under
18 subsection 4 of paragraph (a), shall be recorded to the
19 driver's file, but shall not be released to any outside
20 source, except the affected driver, and shall be used only to
21 assist in assessing driver performance and for the purpose of
22 informing the courts that such driver has been previously
23 assigned court supervision or referred to a driver's remedial
24 or rehabilitative program.

33 vehicle be suspended until the minor attains 18 years of age,

15 danger to himself or others. The minor shall be

17 for time spent in detention under Sections 5-10(2),
18 5-14(b)(2), 5-23(1)(b), or 5-25(2) of this Act as a

2 (b) A minor found to be delinquent may be committed
3 to the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division,
4 under Section 5-33 if the minor is 13 years of age or
5 older, provided that the commitment to the Department of
6 Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
7 term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults
8 found guilty of the offense for which the minor was
9 adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor is
10 in custody before being released upon the request of a
11 parent, guardian or custodian shall be considered as time
12 spent in detention.
13 (1.1) When a minor is found to be delinquent for an
14 offense which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
15 Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of
16 the court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
17 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in a
18 substance abuse program approved by the Department of
19 Alcoholism and Substance Abuse.
20 (2) Any order of disposition other than commitment to
21 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide
22 for protective supervision under Section 5-26 and may include
23 an order of protection under Section 5-27.
24 (3) Unless the order of disposition expressly so
25 provides, it does not operate to close proceedings on the
26 pending petition, but is subject to modification until final
27 closing and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-34.
28 (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
29 court may order any minor found to be delinquent to make
30 restitution, in monetary or non-monetary form, under the
31 terms and conditions of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
32 Corrections, except that the "presentence hearing" referred
33 to therein shall be the dispositional hearing for purposes of
34 this Section. The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the
-14- LRB9002490WHmg
1 minor may be ordered by the court to pay some or all of the
2 restitution on the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental
3 Responsibility Law, as now or hereafter amended. The State's
4 Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any victim in
5 seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to
6 the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the Parental
7 Responsibility Law.
8 (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is
9 committed or placed in accordance with Section 5-29 shall
10 provide for the parents or guardian of the estate of such
11 minor to pay to the legal custodian or guardian of the person

13 guardian of the person of the minor as necessary for the
14 minor's needs. Such payments may not exceed the maximum
15 amounts provided for by Section 9.1 of the Children and
16 Family Services Act.
17 (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor
18 to attend school or participate in a program of training, the

20 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
21 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
22 (7) In no event shall a delinquent minor be committed

27 1961 shall be ordered to perform community service for not
28 less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community
29 service is available in the jurisdiction. The community
30 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the
31 cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the

2 (9) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
3 court shall order any minor found to be delinquent for an act

6 by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine whether
7 the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
8 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
9 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
10 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test

28 of the results of the test for infection with the human
29 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
30 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling

1 (10) When a court finds a minor to be delinquent the
2 court shall, before making a disposition under this Section,
3 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (i) was
4 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
5 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
6 or allegiance to an organized gang, or (ii) involved a
7 violation of paragraph (13) of subsection (a) of the Criminal
8 Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
9 Criminal Code of 1961, or a violation of any statute that
10 involved the wrongful use of a firearm. If the court
11 determines the question in the affirmative, and the court
12 does not commit the minor to the Department of Corrections,
13 Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
14 community service for not less than 30 hours nor more than
15 120 hours, provided that community service is available in
16 the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county
17 board of the county where the offense was committed. The
18 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
19 the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
20 Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar
21 damage to property located in the municipality or county in
22 which the violation occurred. When possible and reasonable,

24 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
25 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
26 the minor in the custody of the Department of Corrections,
27 Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this Section,
28 "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10

1 Sec. 5-23. Kinds of dispositional orders.
2 (1) The following kinds of orders of disposition may be
3 made in respect of wards of the court:
4 (a) Except as provided in Section 5-33 and Section
5 5-35, a minor found to be a delinquent under Section 5-3
6 may be:
7 (1) put on probation or conditional discharge
8 and released to his or her parents, guardian or
9 legal custodian, provided, however, that any such
10 minor who is not committed to the Department of
11 Corrections, Juvenile Division under this subsection
12 and who is found to be a delinquent for an offense
13 which is first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a
14 forcible felony shall be placed on probation;
15 (2) placed in accordance with Section 5-29,
16 with or without also being put on probation or
17 conditional discharge;
18 (3) where authorized under the Alcoholism and
19 Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act, ordered
20 admitted for treatment for drug addiction by the
21 Department of Human Services;
22 (4) committed to the Department of Children
23 and Family Services, but only if the delinquent
24 minor is under 13 years of age;
25 (5) placed in detention for a period not to
26 exceed 30 days, either as the exclusive order of
27 disposition or, where appropriate, in conjunction
28 with any other order of disposition issued under
29 this paragraph, provided that any such detention
30 shall be in a juvenile detention home and the minor
31 so detained shall be 10 years of age or older.
32 However, the 30-day limitation may be extended by
33 further order of the court for a minor under age 13
34 committed to the Department of Children and Family
-18- LRB9002490WHmg
1 Services if the court finds that the minor is a
2 danger to himself or others. The minor shall be
3 given credit on the dispositional order of detention
4 for time spent in detention under Sections 5-10(2),
5 5-14(b)(2), 5-23(1)(b), or 5-25(2) of this Act as a
6 result of the offense for which the dispositional
7 order was imposed. The court may grant credit on a
8 dispositional order of detention entered under a
9 violation of probation or violation of conditional
10 discharge under Section 5-25 of this Act for time
11 spent in detention before the filing of the petition
12 alleging the violation. A minor shall not be
13 deprived of credit for time spent in detention
14 before the filing of a violation of probation or
15 conditional discharge alleging the same or related
16 act(s); or
17 (6) ordered partially or completely
18 emancipated in accordance with the provisions of the
19 Emancipation of Mature Minors Act; or.
20 (7) subject to having his or her driver's
21 license or driving privilege suspended until he or
22 she attains 18 years of age.
23 (b) A minor found to be delinquent may be committed
24 to the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division,
25 under Section 5-33 if the minor is 13 years of age or
26 older, provided that the commitment to the Department of
27 Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
28 term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults
29 found guilty of the offense for which the minor was
30 adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor is
31 in custody before being released upon the request of a
32 parent, guardian or custodian shall be considered as time
33 spent in detention.
34 (1.1) When a minor is found to be delinquent for an
-19- LRB9002490WHmg
1 offense which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
2 Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of
3 the court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
4 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in a
5 substance abuse program approved by the Department of Human
6 Services.
7 (2) Any order of disposition other than commitment to
8 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide
9 for protective supervision under Section 5-26 and may include
10 an order of protection under Section 5-27.
11 (3) Unless the order of disposition expressly so
12 provides, it does not operate to close proceedings on the
13 pending petition, but is subject to modification until final
14 closing and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-34.
15 (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
16 court may order any minor found to be delinquent to make
17 restitution, in monetary or non-monetary form, under the
18 terms and conditions of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
19 Corrections, except that the "presentence hearing" referred
20 to therein shall be the dispositional hearing for purposes of
21 this Section. The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the
22 minor may be ordered by the court to pay some or all of the
23 restitution on the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental
24 Responsibility Law, as now or hereafter amended. The State's
25 Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any victim in
26 seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to
27 the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the Parental
28 Responsibility Law.
29 (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is
30 committed or placed in accordance with Section 5-29 shall
31 provide for the parents or guardian of the estate of such
32 minor to pay to the legal custodian or guardian of the person
33 of the minor such sums as are determined by the custodian or
34 guardian of the person of the minor as necessary for the
-20- LRB9002490WHmg
1 minor's needs. Such payments may not exceed the maximum
2 amounts provided for by Section 9.1 of the Children and
3 Family Services Act.
4 (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor
5 to attend school or participate in a program of training, the
6 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
7 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
8 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
9 (7) In no event shall a delinquent minor be committed
10 for a period of time in excess of that period for which an
11 adult could be committed for the same act.
12 (8) A minor found to be delinquent for reasons that
13 include a violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of
14 1961 shall be ordered to perform community service for not
15 less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community
16 service is available in the jurisdiction. The community
17 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the
18 cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the
19 violation or similar damage to property located in the
20 municipality or county in which the violation occurred. The
21 order may be in addition to any other order authorized by
22 this Section.
23 (9) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
24 court shall order any minor found to be delinquent for an act
25 which would constitute criminal sexual assault, aggravated
26 criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if committed
27 by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine whether
28 the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
29 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
30 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
31 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
32 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
33 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
34 fluids as well as an examination of the minor's person.
-21- LRB9002490WHmg
1 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of the test
2 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
3 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
4 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
5 disposition order was entered for the judge's inspection in
6 camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of the
7 victim and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
8 determine to whom the results of the testing may be revealed.
9 The court shall notify the minor of the results of the test
10 for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
11 The court shall also notify the victim if requested by the
12 victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and if
13 requested by the victim's parents or legal guardian, the
14 court shall notify the victim's parents or the legal guardian
15 of the results of the test for infection with the human
16 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
17 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
18 at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
19 whom the results of the testing are revealed. The court
20 shall order that the cost of any test shall be paid by the
21 county and may be taxed as costs against the minor.
22 (10) When a court finds a minor to be delinquent the
23 court shall, before making a disposition under this Section,
24 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (i) was
25 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
26 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
27 or allegiance to an organized gang, or (ii) involved a
28 violation of paragraph (13) of subsection (a) of the Criminal
29 Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
30 Criminal Code of 1961, or a violation of any statute that
31 involved the wrongful use of a firearm. If the court
32 determines the question in the affirmative, and the court
33 does not commit the minor to the Department of Corrections,
34 Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
-22- LRB9002490WHmg
1 community service for not less than 30 hours nor more than
2 120 hours, provided that community service is available in
3 the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county
4 board of the county where the offense was committed. The
5 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
6 the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
7 Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar
8 damage to property located in the municipality or county in
9 which the violation occurred. When possible and reasonable,
10 the community service shall be performed in the minor's
11 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
12 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
13 the minor in the custody of the Department of Corrections,
14 Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this Section,
