    Amends the Sale of Tobacco to Minors Act. Changes the short title to the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors Act. Prohibits minors from possessing tobacco (now only the buying by and the sale and distribution to minors of tobacco is prohibited). Provides that in addition to or instead of a fine, the court may impose community service upon a minor who possesses tobacco and upon a seller or distributor of tobacco to a minor. Provides that, if a minor violates the provisions prohibiting minors from possessing any cigars, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, or tobacco in any of its forms, the court may in addition to a fine and community service, order the minor to attend a local anti-tobacco or youth diversion program. Provides that a court may order a minor convicted of or placed on supervision for a violation of the prohibition of tobacco possession by minors, and his or her parents or legal guardian, to attend a smoker's education or youth diversion program if available in the jurisdiction where the offender resides. Provides that attendance at that program shall be time-credited against any community service time imposed for a first violation. Provides that, in addition to any other penalties, the court may assess a fee against the offender for his or her attendance of the program. Defines "smoker's education program" or "youth diversion program" to include a seminar designed to educate a person on the physical and psychological effects of smoking tobacco products and the health consequences of smoking tobacco products. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to provide that the community service, smoker's education, and youth diversion program provisions are available to a delinquent minor under that Act. Effective immediately.

HB4067 - 4 - LRB093 16177 RLC 41810 b

1 condition of the continuance under supervision, the court shall

5 petition for violation of a condition of the continuance under
6 supervision shall toll the period of continuance under
7 supervision until the final determination of the charge, and

13 delay shall continue the tolling of the period of continuance
14 under supervision for the period of the delay.
15     (8) When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
16 delinquent for reasons that include a violation of Section
17 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 is continued under this

19 under supervision, require the minor to perform community
20 service for not less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if
21 community service is available in the jurisdiction. The
22 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
23 the cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the
24 alleged violation or similar damage to property located in the
25 municipality or county in which the alleged violation occurred.
26 The condition may be in addition to any other condition.
27     (8.5) When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
28 delinquent for reasons that include a violation of Section 3.02
29 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals Act or paragraph
30 (d) of subsection (1) of Section 21-1 of the Criminal Code of
31 1961 is continued under this Section, the court shall, as a
32 condition of the continuance under supervision, require the
33 minor to undergo medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by a
34 psychiatrist or psychological treatment rendered by a clinical
35 psychologist. The condition may be in addition to any other
36 condition.

 

 

HB4067 - 5 - LRB093 16177 RLC 41810 b

1     (9) When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
2 delinquent is continued under this Section, the court, before
3 continuing the case, shall make a finding whether the offense
4 alleged to have been committed either: (i) was related to or in
5 furtherance of the activities of an organized gang or was
6 motivated by the minor's membership in or allegiance to an
7 organized gang, or (ii) is a violation of paragraph (13) of
8 subsection (a) of Section 12-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961, a
9 violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code of
10 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the unlawful
11 use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
12 affirmative the court shall, as a condition of the continuance
13 under supervision and as part of or in addition to any other
14 condition of the supervision, require the minor to perform
15 community service for not less than 30 hours, provided that
16 community service is available in the jurisdiction and is
17 funded and approved by the county board of the county where the
18 offense was committed. The community service shall include, but
19 need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of any damage
20 caused by an alleged violation of Section 21-1.3 of the
21 Criminal Code of 1961 and similar damage to property located in
22 the municipality or county in which the alleged violation
23 occurred. When possible and reasonable, the community service
24 shall be performed in the minor's neighborhood. For the
25 purposes of this Section, "organized gang" has the meaning
26 ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
27 Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
28     (10) The court shall impose upon a minor placed on
29 supervision, as a condition of the supervision, a fee of $25
30 for each month of supervision ordered by the court, unless
31 after determining the inability of the minor placed on
32 supervision to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser amount.
33 The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is made a ward
34 of the State under this Act while the minor is in placement.
35 The fee shall be imposed only upon a minor who is actively
36 supervised by the probation and court services department. A

 

 

HB4067 - 6 - LRB093 16177 RLC 41810 b

1 court may order the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the
2 minor to pay some or all of the fee on the minor's behalf.
3     (11) If a minor is placed on supervision for a violation of
4 subsection (a-5) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use
5 by Minors Act, the court may, in its discretion, and upon
6 recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and
7 his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a smoker's
8 education or youth diversion program as defined in that Act if
9 that program is available in the jurisdiction where the
10 offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or youth
11 diversion program shall be time-credited against any community
12 service time imposed for any first violation of subsection
13 (a-5) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any other
14 penalty that the court may impose for a violation of subsection
15 (a-5) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the
16 State's Attorney, may, in its discretion, require the offender
17 to remit a fee for his or her attendance at a smoker's
18 education or youth diversion program.
19     For purposes of this Section, "smoker's education program"
20 or "youth diversion program" includes, but is not limited to, a
21 seminar designed to educate a person on the physical and
22 psychological effects of smoking tobacco products and the
23 health consequences of smoking tobacco products that can be
24 conducted with a locality's youth diversion program.
25     In addition to any other penalty that the court may impose
26 under this subsection (11):
27     (a) If a minor violates subsection (a-5) of Section 1 of
28 the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors Act, the court may
29 impose a sentence of 15 hours of community service or a fine of
30 $25 for a first violation.
31     (b) A second violation by a minor of subsection (a-5) of
32 Section 1 of that Act that occurs within 12 months after the
33 first violation is punishable by a fine of $50 and 25 hours of
34 community service.

36 subsection (a-5) of Section 1 of that Act that occurs within 12

1 months after the first violation is punishable by a $100 fine
2 and 30 hours of community service.

4 12-month time period after the first violation is punishable as

13         (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, 5-815,
14     a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may be:
15             (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
16         released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
17         custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
18         is not committed to the Department of Corrections,
19         Juvenile Division under this subsection and who is
20         found to be a delinquent for an offense which is first
21         degree murder, a Class X felony, or a forcible felony

31         delinquent minor is under 13 years of age;
32             (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
33         30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
34         or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other

HB4067 - 8 - LRB093 16177 RLC 41810 b

1         provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
2         detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
3         years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
4         may be extended by further order of the court for a
5         minor under age 13 committed to the Department of
6         Children and Family Services if the court finds that
7         the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
8         shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
9         detention for time spent in detention under Sections
10         5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
11         result of the offense for which the sentencing order

13         order of detention entered under a violation of
14         probation or violation of conditional discharge under
15         Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
16         detention before the filing of the petition alleging
17         the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit

28             (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
29         and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
30         Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
31         incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
32         of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
33         adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
34         upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
35         notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law; or
36             (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other

7     Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only if a
8     term of incarceration is permitted by law for adults found
9     guilty of the offense for which the minor was adjudicated
10     delinquent. The time during which a minor is in custody
11     before being released upon the request of a parent,
12     guardian or legal custodian shall be considered as time
13     spent in detention.
14         (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
15     which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
16     Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of the
17     court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
18     the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
19     a substance abuse program approved by the Department of
20     Human Services.
21     (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
22 Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide for
23 protective supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an
24 order of protection under Section 5-730.
25     (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
26 does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
27 but is subject to modification until final closing and
28 discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
29     (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
30 any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
31 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
32 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
33 that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
34 shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
35 The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be

10 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
11 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
12 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
13 Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
14     (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
15 attend school or participate in a program of training, the
16 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
17 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
18 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
19     (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
20 Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division for a period of
21 time in excess of that period for which an adult could be
22 committed for the same act.
23     (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
24 violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall
25 be ordered to perform community service for not less than 30
26 and not more than 120 hours, if community service is available
27 in the jurisdiction. The community service shall include, but
28 need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of the damage

1 medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by a psychiatrist or
2 psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
3 The order may be in addition to any other order authorized by

8 aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault,
9 aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if
10 committed by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine
11 whether the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
12 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
13 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
14 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
15 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
16 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
17 as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
18 otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
19 kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
20 the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
21 envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
22 order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
23 in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
24 public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
25 whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court

33 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
34 testing and counseling at the Department of Public Health
35 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
36 are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test

 

 

HB4067 - 12 - LRB093 16177 RLC 41810 b

1 shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
2 the minor.
3     (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
4 shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
5 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
6 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
7 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
8 allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
9 subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
10 a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
11 of 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the
12 wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines the question
13 in the affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to
14 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, the court
15 shall order the minor to perform community service for not less
16 than 30 hours nor more than 120 hours, provided that community
17 service is available in the jurisdiction and is funded and
