18 committed to the Department of Children and Family
19 Services if the court finds that the minor is a
20 danger to himself or others. The minor shall be
21 given credit on the dispositional order of detention
22 for time spent in detention under Sections 5-10(2),
23 5-14(b)(2), 5-23(1)(b), or 5-25(2) of this Act as a
24 result of the offense for which the dispositional
25 order was imposed. The court may grant credit on a
26 dispositional order of detention entered under a
27 violation of probation or violation of conditional
28 discharge under Section 5-25 of this Act for time
29 spent in detention before the filing of the petition
30 alleging the violation. A minor shall not be
31 deprived of credit for time spent in detention
32 before the filing of a violation of probation or
33 conditional discharge alleging the same or related
34 act(s);
-16- LRB9003209RCks

3 Emancipation of Mature Minors Act; or
4 (7) put on probation or conditional discharge
5 and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
6 Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period
7 of incarceration permitted by law for adults found
8 guilty of the same offense or offenses for which the
9 minor was adjudicated delinquent, and in any event
10 no longer than upon attainment of age 21; this
11 subdivision (7) notwithstanding any contrary
12 provision of the law; or .
13 (8) in a judicial circuit selected by the
14 Department of Corrections, committed to the juvenile
15 intake center program established under Section
16 5-6.5.
17 (b) A minor found to be delinquent may be committed
18 to the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division,
19 under Section 5-33 if the minor is 13 years of age or
20 older, provided that the commitment to the Department of
21 Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
22 term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults
23 found guilty of the offense for which the minor was
24 adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor is
25 in custody before being released upon the request of a
26 parent, guardian or custodian shall be considered as time
27 spent in detention.
28 (1.1) When a minor is found to be delinquent for an
29 offense which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
30 Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of
31 the court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
32 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in a
33 substance abuse program approved by the Department of

-17- LRB9003209RCks
1 (2) Any order of disposition other than commitment to
2 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide
3 for protective supervision under Section 5-26 and may include
4 an order of protection under Section 5-27.
5 (3) Unless the order of disposition expressly so
6 provides, it does not operate to close proceedings on the
7 pending petition, but is subject to modification until final
8 closing and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-34.
9 (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
10 court may order any minor found to be delinquent to make
11 restitution, in monetary or non-monetary form, under the
12 terms and conditions of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
13 Corrections, except that the "presentence hearing" referred
14 to therein shall be the dispositional hearing for purposes of
15 this Section. The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the
16 minor may be ordered by the court to pay some or all of the
17 restitution on the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental
18 Responsibility Law, as now or hereafter amended. The State's
19 Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any victim in
20 seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to
21 the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the Parental
22 Responsibility Law.
23 (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is
24 committed or placed in accordance with Section 5-29 shall
25 provide for the parents or guardian of the estate of such

33 to attend school or participate in a program of training, the
34 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
-18- LRB9003209RCks
1 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
2 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
3 (7) In no event shall a delinquent minor be committed
4 for a period of time in excess of that period for which an
5 adult could be committed for the same act.
6 (8) A minor found to be delinquent for reasons that
7 include a violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of
8 1961 shall be ordered to perform community service for not
9 less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community
10 service is available in the jurisdiction. The community
11 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the
12 cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the
13 violation or similar damage to property located in the
14 municipality or county in which the violation occurred. The
15 order may be in addition to any other order authorized by
16 this Section.
17 (9) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
18 court shall order any minor found to be delinquent for an act
19 which would constitute criminal sexual assault, aggravated
20 criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if committed
21 by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine whether
22 the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
23 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
24 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
25 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
26 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
27 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
28 fluids as well as an examination of the minor's person.
29 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of the test
30 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
31 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
32 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
33 disposition order was entered for the judge's inspection in
34 camera. Acting in accordance with the best interests of the
-19- LRB9003209RCks
1 victim and the public, the judge shall have the discretion to
2 determine to whom the results of the testing may be revealed.
3 The court shall notify the minor of the results of the test
4 for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
5 The court shall also notify the victim if requested by the
6 victim, and if the victim is under the age of 15 and if
7 requested by the victim's parents or legal guardian, the
8 court shall notify the victim's parents or the legal guardian
9 of the results of the test for infection with the human
10 immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
11 information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
12 at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
13 whom the results of the testing are revealed. The court
14 shall order that the cost of any test shall be paid by the
15 county and may be taxed as costs against the minor.
16 (10) When a court finds a minor to be delinquent the
17 court shall, before making a disposition under this Section,
18 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (i) was
19 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
20 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
21 or allegiance to an organized gang, or (ii) involved a
22 violation of paragraph (13) of subsection (a) of the Criminal
23 Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
24 Criminal Code of 1961, or a violation of any statute that
25 involved the wrongful use of a firearm. If the court
26 determines the question in the affirmative, and the court
27 does not commit the minor to the Department of Corrections,
28 Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
29 community service for not less than 30 hours nor more than
30 120 hours, provided that community service is available in
31 the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county
32 board of the county where the offense was committed. The
33 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
34 the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
-20- LRB9003209RCks
1 Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar
2 damage to property located in the municipality or county in
3 which the violation occurred. When possible and reasonable,
4 the community service shall be performed in the minor's
5 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
6 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
7 the minor in the custody of the Department of Corrections,
8 Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this Section,
9 "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10
10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

22 order was imposed. The court may grant credit on a
23 dispositional order of detention entered under a
24 violation of probation or violation of conditional
25 discharge under Section 5-25 of this Act for time
26 spent in detention before the filing of the petition

16 under Section 5-33 if the minor is 13 years of age or

18 Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
19 term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults
20 found guilty of the offense for which the minor was

26 offense which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
27 Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of
28 the court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring

9 terms and conditions of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
10 Corrections, except that the "presentence hearing" referred

13 minor may be ordered by the court to pay some or all of the
14 restitution on the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental
15 Responsibility Law, as now or hereafter amended. The State's
16 Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any victim in
17 seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to

8 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the
9 cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the

11 municipality or county in which the violation occurred. The
12 order may be in addition to any other order authorized by
13 this Section.
14 (9) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
15 court shall order any minor found to be delinquent for an act
16 which would constitute criminal sexual assault, aggravated
17 criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if committed
18 by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine whether
19 the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
20 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
21 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
22 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
23 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
24 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily
25 fluids as well as an examination of the minor's person.
26 Except as otherwise provided by law, the results of the test
27 shall be kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel
28 involved in the testing and must be personally delivered in a
29 sealed envelope to the judge of the court in which the
30 disposition order was entered for the judge's inspection in

16 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
17 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
18 or allegiance to an organized gang, or (ii) involved a
19 violation of paragraph (13) of subsection (a) of the Criminal
20 Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
