 1        (a)  In this Section, "custodial interrogation" means any
 2    interrogation (i) during which a  reasonable  person  in  the
 3    subject's position would consider himself or herself to be in
 4    custody  and  (ii)  during  which a question is asked that is
 5    reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response.

 7    picture, audiotape, videotape, or digital recording.
 8        In this Section, "place of detention" means a building or

12    detention  in  connection with criminal charges against those
13    persons or allegations  that  those  persons  are  delinquent
14    minors.
15        (b)  An  oral,  written,  or sign language statement of a
16    minor who, at the time of the commission of the  offense  was
17    under  the  age  of 17 years, made as a result of a custodial
18    interrogation conducted at a police station or other place of
19    detention on or after the effective date of  this  amendatory
20    Act  of  the  93rd  General  Assembly shall be presumed to be
21    inadmissible as evidence against the minor  in  any  criminal
22    proceeding  or  juvenile court proceeding, for an act that if
23    committed by an adult would be  brought  under  Section  9-1,
24    9-1.2, 9-2, 9-2.1, 9-3, 9-3.2, or 9-3.3, of the Criminal Code
25    of 1961 unless:
26             (1)  an   electronic   recording   is  made  of  the
27        custodial interrogation; and
28             (2) the recording is substantially accurate and  not
29        intentionally altered.
30        (c)   Every  electronic  recording  required  under  this
31    Section must be preserved until  such  time  as  the  minor's
32    adjudication  for  any  offense  relating to the statement is
33    final and all direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted,
34    or the prosecution of such offenses is barred by law.
 
HB0223 Enrolled            -3-       LRB093 04402 RLC 04452 b
 1        (d) If  the  court  finds,  by  a  preponderance  of  the
 2    evidence,  that  the  minor  was  subjected  to  a  custodial
 3    interrogation   in   violation  of  this  Section,  then  any
 4    statements  made  by  the  minor  during  or  following  that
 5    non-recorded custodial interrogation, even  if  otherwise  in
 6    compliance with this Section, are presumed to be inadmissible
 7    in  any  criminal  proceeding  or  juvenile  court proceeding
 8    against the minor except for the purposes of impeachment.
 9        (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the  admission  (i)
10    of  a  statement  made  by  the  minor  in  open court in any
11    criminal proceeding or juvenile court  proceeding,  before  a
12    grand  jury, or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement
13    made during a custodial interrogation that was  not  recorded
14    as  required by this Section because electronic recording was
15    not feasible, (iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or  not
16    the  result  of a custodial interrogation, that has a bearing
17    on the credibility of the accused as a  witness,  (iv)  of  a
18    spontaneous  statement    that  is  not made in response to a
19    question, (v) of a statement made after questioning  that  is
20    routinely  asked  during  the processing of the arrest of the
21    suspect,  (vi)  of  a  statement  made  during  a   custodial
22    interrogation  by a suspect who requests, prior to making the
23    statement, to respond to the interrogator's questions only if
24    an  electronic  recording  is  not  made  of  the  statement,
25    provided  that  an  electronic  recording  is  made  of   the
26    statement  of  agreeing  to  respond  to  the  interrogator's
27    question,  only  if a recording is not made of the statement,
28    (vii) of a statement made during  a  custodial  interrogation
29    that  is  conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a statement given
30    at a time when the interrogators are unaware that a death has
31    in fact occurred, or (ix) of any other statement that may  be
32    admissible  under  law.   The  State shall bear the burden of
33    proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of  the
34    exceptions  described  in  this subsection (e) is applicable.
 
HB0223 Enrolled            -4-       LRB093 04402 RLC 04452 b
 1    Nothing  in  this  Section  precludes  the  admission  of   a
 2    statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
 3    used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
 4        (f)  The  presumption  of  inadmissibility of a statement
 5    made by a suspect at a custodial interrogation  at  a  police
 6    station  or  other  place  of  detention may be overcome by a
 7    preponderance  of  the  evidence  that  the   statement   was
 8    voluntarily  given  and is reliable, based on the totality of
 9    the circumstances.
10        (g)  Any electronic recording of any statement made by  a
11    minor  during  a  custodial interrogation that is compiled by
12    any law enforcement agency as required by  this  Section  for
13    the  purposes  of fulfilling the requirements of this Section
14    shall be confidential and exempt from public  inspection  and
15    copying,  as  provided  under  Section  7  of  the Freedom of
16    Information Act, and the information shall not be transmitted
17    to anyone except as needed to comply with this Section.

18        Section 20.  The Criminal Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
19    changing Section 14-3 as follows:

29    information  obtained  thereby  is  used  or  divulged by the
30    hearer;
31        (c)  Any broadcast  by  radio,  television  or  otherwise
32    whether  it  be  a  broadcast  or recorded for the purpose of

 1    later broadcasts of any  function  where  the  public  is  in

 3    the main purpose for which such  broadcasts  are  then  being
 4    made;
 5        (d)  Recording or listening with the aid of any device to

19    destroyed,  erased  or  turned  over to local law enforcement
20    authorities within 24 hours from the time of  such  recording
21    and shall not be otherwise disseminated.  Failure on the part
22    of the individual or business operating any such recording or
23    listening  device  to  comply  with  the requirements of this
24    subsection shall eliminate any  civil  or  criminal  immunity
25    conferred  upon  that individual or business by the operation
26    of this Section;
27        (g)  With prior notification to the State's  Attorney  of

29    with the aid of any device to any conversation  where  a  law
30    enforcement officer, or any person acting at the direction of
31    law  enforcement,  is  a  party  to  the conversation and has
32    consented  to  it  being  intercepted   or   recorded   under
33    circumstances  where  the  use of the device is necessary for
34    the protection of the law enforcement officer or  any  person
 
HB0223 Enrolled            -6-       LRB093 04402 RLC 04452 b
 1    acting  at the direction of law enforcement, in the course of
 2    an investigation of a forcible felony, a felony violation  of
 3    the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, a felony violation of
 4    the  Cannabis  Control  Act,  or  any "streetgang related" or

 6    Illinois  Streetgang  Terrorism  Omnibus  Prevention Act. Any
 7    recording or evidence derived as the result of this exemption
 8    shall be inadmissible in any proceeding, criminal,  civil  or
 9    administrative,  except (i) where a party to the conversation
10    suffers  great  bodily  injury  or  is  killed  during   such
11    conversation,  or  (ii)  when used as direct impeachment of a
12    witness concerning matters contained in the  interception  or
13    recording.   The  Director  of the Department of State Police
14    shall issue regulations as are necessary concerning  the  use
15    of   devices,  retention  of  tape  recordings,  and  reports
16    regarding their use;
17        (g-5)  With approval  of  the  State's  Attorney  of  the
18    county  in  which it is to occur, recording or listening with
19    the aid of  any  device  to  any  conversation  where  a  law
20    enforcement officer, or any person acting at the direction of
21    law  enforcement,  is  a  party  to  the conversation and has
22    consented to it being intercepted or recorded in  the  course
23    of  an investigation of any offense defined in Article 29D of
24    this Code. In all such cases, an  application  for  an  order
25    approving  the previous or continuing use of an eavesdropping
26    device must be made within 48 hours of  the  commencement  of
27    such  use.   In  the  absence  of  such an order, or upon its
28    denial, any continuing use shall immediately  terminate.  The
29    Director  of  State Police shall issue rules as are necessary
30    concerning the use of devices, retention of tape  recordings,
31    and reports regarding their use.
32        Any  recording  or  evidence  obtained  or derived in the
33    course of an investigation of any offense defined in  Article
34    29D  of  this Code shall, upon motion of the State's Attorney
 
HB0223 Enrolled            -7-       LRB093 04402 RLC 04452 b

 2    be reviewed in camera with notice to all parties  present  by
 3    the  court presiding over the criminal case, and, if ruled by
 4    the court to be relevant and otherwise admissible,  it  shall
 5    be admissible at the trial of the criminal case.
 6        This subsection (g-5) is inoperative on and after January
 7    1,  2005.  No conversations recorded or monitored pursuant to
 8    this subsection (g-5) shall be inadmissable in a court of law
 9    by virtue of the repeal of this subsection (g-5)  on  January
10    1, 2005.
11        (h)  Recordings   made   simultaneously   with   a  video
12    recording of an oral conversation between  a  peace  officer,

15    Code;
16        (i)  Recording of  a  conversation  made  by  or  at  the
17    request  of  a person, not a law enforcement officer or agent
18    of  a  law  enforcement  officer,  who  is  a  party  to  the
19    conversation, under reasonable suspicion that  another  party
20    to the conversation is committing, is about to commit, or has
21    committed  a  criminal offense against the person or a member
22    of his or her immediate household, and  there  is  reason  to
23    believe that evidence of the criminal offense may be obtained
24    by the recording; and
25        (j)  The  use  of a telephone monitoring device by either
26    (1)  a  corporation  or  other  business  entity  engaged  in

29    in  this  subsection,  to  record or listen to oral telephone
30    solicitation conversations or marketing or  opinion  research
31    conversations  by  an  employee  of  the corporation or other
32    business entity when:

 7        least  one person who is an active party to the marketing
 8        or   opinion   research   conversation    or    telephone
 9        solicitation conversation being monitored.
10        No communication or conversation or any part, portion, or
11    aspect  of  the communication or conversation made, acquired,
12    or obtained, directly or  indirectly,  under  this  exemption
13    (j),  may  be,  directly  or indirectly, furnished to any law

23    recording  or  listening  shall, immediately upon determining
24    that the conversation does not relate to marketing or opinion
25    research or telephone solicitation, terminate  the  recording
26    or  listening  and  destroy  any such recording as soon as is
27    practicable.
28        Business entities that  use  a  telephone  monitoring  or
29    telephone  recording  system  pursuant  to this exemption (j)
30    shall provide current and prospective employees  with  notice

32    of  their  employment.   The  notice  shall include prominent
33    signage notification within the workplace.

 3    personal-only  telephone  lines  which may be pay telephones,
 4    that are not subject to  telephone  monitoring  or  telephone
 5    recording.

12    electronic recording was not feasible, (iii) of  a  voluntary
13    statement,   whether   or  not  the  result  of  a  custodial
14    interrogation, that has a bearing on the credibility  of  the
15    accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement that is
16    not  made  in response to a question, (v) of a statement made
17    after  questioning  that  is  routinely  asked   during   the
18    processing  of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
19    made during  a  custodial  interrogation  by  a  suspect  who
20    requests,  prior  to  making the statement, to respond to the
21    interrogator's questions only if an electronic  recording  is
22    not  made  of  the  statement,  provided  that  an electronic
23    recording is made of the statement of agreeing to respond  to
24    the  interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made
25    of  the  statement,  (vii)  of  a  statement  made  during  a
26    custodial  interrogation  that  is  conducted   out-of-state,
27    (viii)  of a statement given at a time when the interrogators
28    are unaware that a death has in fact occurred, or (ix) of any
29    other statement that may be admissible under law.  The  State
30    shall  bear  the burden of proving, by a preponderance of the
31    evidence, that  one  of  the  exceptions  described  in  this
32    subsection  (e)  is  applicable.    Nothing  in  this Section
33    precludes   the   admission   of   a   statement,   otherwise
34    inadmissible under  this  Section,  that  is  used  only  for
 
HB0223 Enrolled            -12-      LRB093 04402 RLC 04452 b
 1    impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
 2        (f)  The  presumption  of  inadmissibility of a statement
 3    made by a suspect at a custodial interrogation  at  a  police
 4    station  or  other  place  of  detention may be overcome by a
 5    preponderance  of  the  evidence  that  the   statement   was
 6    voluntarily  given  and is reliable, based on the totality of
 7    the circumstances.
 8        (g)  Any electronic recording of any statement made by an
 9    accused during a custodial interrogation that is compiled  by
10    any  law  enforcement  agency as required by this Section for
11    the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of  this  Section
12    shall  be  confidential and exempt from public inspection and
13    copying, as provided  under  Section  7  of  the  Freedom  of
14    Information Act, and the information shall not be transmitted
15    to anyone except as needed to comply with this Section.
