AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1997

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 1997 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by changing Section 2-5 as follows:

(705 ILCS 405/2-5) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-5)

Sec. 2-5. Taking into custody. (1) A law enforcement officer may, without a warrant, take into temporary custody a minor (a) whom the officer with reasonable cause believes to be a person described in Section 2-3 or 2-4; (b) who has been adjudged a ward of the court and has escaped from any commitment ordered by the court under this Act; or (c) who is found in any street or public place suffering from any sickness or injury which requires care, medical treatment or hospitalization.

(2) Whenever a petition has been filed under Section 2-13 and the court finds that the conduct and behavior of the minor may endanger the health, person, welfare, or property of himself or others or that the circumstances of his home environment may endanger his health, person, welfare or property, a warrant may be issued immediately to take the minor into custody.

(3) The taking of a minor into temporary custody under this Section is not an arrest nor does it constitute a police record.

(4) After taking temporary custody of a minor under this Section, the law enforcement officer or the Department of Children and Family Services, in consultation with the State's Attorney's Office, may transport the minor to a child advocacy center or other age-appropriate facility to conduct and electronically record a forensic interview with the minor. For purposes of this Section, the law enforcement officer or the Department of Children and Family Services may consent to the recording of the interview of the minor.
