1     (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
2 believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the
3 court shall state in writing the factual basis supporting its
4 finding and the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
5 and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be
6 examined before the court. The Department of Children and
7 Family Services shall give testimony concerning indicated
8 reports of abuse and neglect, of which they are aware of
9 through the central registry, involving the minor's parent,
10 guardian or custodian. After such testimony, the court may,
11 consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the
12 minor, enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the
13 request of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
14 guardian or custodian appears to take custody. Custodian shall
15 include any agency of the State which has been given custody or
16 wardship of the child. If it is consistent with the health,

19 suitable place designated by the court or in a shelter care
20 facility designated by the Department of Children and Family
21 Services or a licensed child welfare agency; however, a minor
22 charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
23 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
24 or committed to the Department of Children and Family Services
25 by any court, except a minor less than 13 years of age and
26 committed to the Department of Children and Family Services
27 under Section 5-710 of this Act or a minor for whom an
28 independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists,
29 which must be defined by departmental rule. In placing the
30 minor, the Department or other agency shall, to the extent
31 compatible with the court's order, comply with Section 7 of the
32 Children and Family Services Act. In determining the health,
33 safety and best interests of the minor to prescribe shelter
34 care, the court must find that it is a matter of immediate and
35 urgent necessity for the safety and protection of the minor or
36 of the person or property of another that the minor be placed

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 13 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 in a shelter care facility or that he or she is likely to flee
2 the jurisdiction of the court, and must further find that
3 reasonable efforts have been made or that, consistent with the
4 health, safety and best interests of the minor, no efforts
5 reasonably can be made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of
6 removal of the minor from his or her home. The court shall
7 require documentation from the Department of Children and
8 Family Services as to the reasonable efforts that were made to
9 prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from
10 his or her home or the reasons why no efforts reasonably could
11 be made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal. When
12 a minor is placed in the home of a relative, the Department of
13 Children and Family Services shall complete a preliminary
14 background review of the members of the minor's custodian's
15 household in accordance with Section 4.3 of the Child Care Act
16 of 1969 within 90 days of that placement. If the minor is
17 ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the Department of
18 Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare
19 agency, the court shall, upon request of the appropriate
20 Department or other agency, appoint the Department of Children
21 and Family Services Guardianship Administrator or other
22 appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the minor
23 and the court may enter such other orders related to the
24 temporary custody as it deems fit and proper, including the
25 provision of services to the minor or his family to ameliorate
26 the causes contributing to the finding of probable cause or to
27 the finding of the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
28 Acceptance of services shall not be considered an admission of
29 any allegation in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor may
30 a referral of services be considered as evidence in any
31 proceeding pursuant to this Act, except where the issue is
32 whether the Department has made reasonable efforts to reunite
33 the family. In making its findings that it is consistent with
34 the health, safety and best interests of the minor to prescribe
35 shelter care, the court shall state in writing (i) the factual
36 basis supporting its findings concerning the immediate and

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 14 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the
2 person or property of another and (ii) the factual basis
3 supporting its findings that reasonable efforts were made to
4 prevent or eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her
5 home or that no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent or
6 eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her home. The
7 parents, guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor
8 shall each be furnished a copy of such written findings. The
9 temporary custodian shall maintain a copy of the court order
10 and written findings in the case record for the child. The
11 order together with the court's findings of fact in support
12 thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
13     Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
14 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
15 be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
16 returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
17 finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
18 protection of the minor.
19     If the child is placed in the temporary custody of the
20 Department of Children and Family Services for his or her
21 protection, the court shall admonish the parents, guardian,
22 custodian or responsible relative that the parents must
23 cooperate with the Department of Children and Family Services,
24 comply with the terms of the service plans, and correct the
25 conditions which require the child to be in care, or risk
26 termination of their parental rights.
27     (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor
28 described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the moving party is
29 unable to serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
30 care hearing may proceed ex-parte. A shelter care order from an
31 ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and hour of
32 issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered
33 of record. The order shall expire after 10 days from the time
34 it is issued unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a
35 hearing upon appearance of the party respondent, or upon an
36 affidavit of the moving party as to all diligent efforts to

2 notice prescribed shall be in writing and shall be personally
3 delivered to the minor or the minor's attorney and to the last
4 known address of the other person or persons entitled to
5 notice. The notice shall also state the nature of the
6 allegations, the nature of the order sought by the State,
7 including whether temporary custody is sought, and the
8 consequences of failure to appear and shall contain a notice
9 that the parties will not be entitled to further written
10 notices or publication notices of proceedings in this case,
11 including the filing of an amended petition or a motion to
12 terminate parental rights, except as required by Supreme Court
13 Rule 11; and shall explain the right of the parties and the
14 procedures to vacate or modify a shelter care order as provided
15 in this Section. The notice for a shelter care hearing shall be
16 substantially as follows:

1 initial shelter care hearing. The enclosed notice explains

18 have actual notice of or was not present at the shelter care
19 hearing, he or she may file an affidavit setting forth these
20 facts, and the clerk shall set the matter for rehearing not
21 later than 48 hours, excluding Sundays and legal holidays,
22 after the filing of the affidavit. At the rehearing, the court
23 shall proceed in the same manner as upon the original hearing.
24     (5) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that the
25 minor taken into custody is a person described in subsection
26 (3) of Section 5-105 may the minor be kept or detained in a
27 detention home or county or municipal jail. This Section shall
28 in no way be construed to limit subsection (6).
29     (6) No minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a
30 jail or place ordinarily used for the confinement of prisoners
31 in a police station. Minors under 18 17 years of age must be
32 kept separate from confined adults and may not at any time be
33 kept in the same cell, room, or yard with adults confined
34 pursuant to the criminal law.
35     (7) If the minor is not brought before a judicial officer
36 within the time period as specified in Section 2-9, the minor

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 18 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 must immediately be released from custody.
2     (8) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears
3 within 24 hours to take custody of a minor released upon
4 request pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section, then the
5 clerk of the court shall set the matter for rehearing not later
6 than 7 days after the original order and shall issue a summons
7 directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to appear. At the
8 same time the probation department shall prepare a report on
9 the minor. If a parent, guardian or custodian does not appear
10 at such rehearing, the judge may enter an order prescribing
11 that the minor be kept in a suitable place designated by the
12 Department of Children and Family Services or a licensed child
13 welfare agency.
14     (9) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section any
15 interested party, including the State, the temporary
16 custodian, an agency providing services to the minor or family
17 under a service plan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Abused and
18 Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or any of their
19 representatives, on notice to all parties entitled to notice,
20 may file a motion that it is in the best interests of the minor
21 to modify or vacate a temporary custody order on any of the
22 following grounds:
23         (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent
24 necessity that the minor remain in shelter care; or
25         (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of
26 the natural family from which the minor was removed and the
27 child can be cared for at home without endangering the
28 child's health or safety; or
29         (c) A person not a party to the alleged abuse, neglect
30 or dependency, including a parent, relative or legal
31 guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
32 minor; or
33         (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and
34 Family Services or a child welfare agency or other service
35 provider have been successful in eliminating the need for
36 temporary custody and the child can be cared for at home

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 19 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 without endangering the child's health or safety.
2     In ruling on the motion, the court shall determine whether
3 it is consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
4 the minor to modify or vacate a temporary custody order.
5     The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
6 14 days after such motion is filed. In the event that the court
7 modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does not
8 vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order that
9 appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf of the
10 minor and his or her family.
11     (10) When the court finds or has found that there is
12 probable cause to believe a minor is an abused minor as
13 described in subsection (2) of Section 2-3 and that there is an
14 immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to be
15 placed in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall be
16 presumed for any other minor residing in the same household as
17 the abused minor provided:
18         (a) Such other minor is the subject of an abuse or
19 neglect petition pending before the court; and
20         (b) A party to the petition is seeking shelter care for
21 such other minor.
22     Once the presumption of immediate and urgent necessity has
23 been raised, the burden of demonstrating the lack of immediate
24 and urgent necessity shall be on any party that is opposing
25 shelter care for the other minor.

30     Sec. 3-12. Shelter care hearing. At the appearance of the
31 minor before the court at the shelter care hearing, all
32 witnesses present shall be examined before the court in
33 relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
34 the petition.
35     (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 20 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 believe that the minor is a person requiring authoritative
2 intervention, it shall release the minor and dismiss the
3 petition.
4     (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
5 believe that the minor is a person requiring authoritative
6 intervention, the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
7 and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be
8 examined before the court. After such testimony, the court may
9 enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the
10 request of a parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
11 guardian or custodian appears to take custody. Custodian shall
12 include any agency of the State which has been given custody or
13 wardship of the child. The Court shall require documentation by
14 representatives of the Department of Children and Family
15 Services or the probation department as to the reasonable
16 efforts that were made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of
17 removal of the minor from his or her home, and shall consider
18 the testimony of any person as to those reasonable efforts. If
19 the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and urgent
20 necessity for the protection of the minor or of the person or
21 property of another that the minor be placed in a shelter care
22 facility, or that he or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction
23 of the court, and further finds that reasonable efforts have
24 been made or good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts
25 cannot prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of the
26 minor from his or her home, the court may prescribe shelter
27 care and order that the minor be kept in a suitable place
28 designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
29 designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or
30 a licensed child welfare agency; otherwise it shall release the
31 minor from custody. If the court prescribes shelter care, then
32 in placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall, to
33 the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with
34 Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act. If the minor
35 is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the Department
36 of Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 21 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 agency, the court shall, upon request of the Department or
2 other agency, appoint the Department of Children and Family
3 Services Guardianship Administrator or other appropriate
4 agency executive temporary custodian of the minor and the court
5 may enter such other orders related to the temporary custody as
6 it deems fit and proper, including the provision of services to
7 the minor or his family to ameliorate the causes contributing
8 to the finding of probable cause or to the finding of the
9 existence of immediate and urgent necessity. Acceptance of
10 services shall not be considered an admission of any allegation
11 in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of
12 services be considered as evidence in any proceeding pursuant
13 to this Act, except where the issue is whether the Department
14 has made reasonable efforts to reunite the family. In making
15 its findings that reasonable efforts have been made or that
16 good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot prevent
17 or eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or
18 her home, the court shall state in writing its findings
19 concerning the nature of the services that were offered or the
20 efforts that were made to prevent removal of the child and the
21 apparent reasons that such services or efforts could not
22 prevent the need for removal. The parents, guardian, custodian,
23 temporary custodian and minor shall each be furnished a copy of
24 such written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a
25 copy of the court order and written findings in the case record
26 for the child.
27     The order together with the court's findings of fact and
28 support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
29     Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
30 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
31 be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
32 returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
33 finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
34 protection of the minor.
35     (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor
36 described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the petitioner is

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 22 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 unable to serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
2 care hearing may proceed ex-parte. A shelter care order from an
3 ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and hour of
4 issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered
5 of record. The order shall expire after 10 days from the time
6 it is issued unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a
7 hearing upon appearance of the party respondent, or upon an
8 affidavit of the moving party as to all diligent efforts to
9 notify the party respondent by notice as herein prescribed. The
10 notice prescribed shall be in writing and shall be personally
11 delivered to the minor or the minor's attorney and to the last
12 known address of the other person or persons entitled to
13 notice. The notice shall also state the nature of the
14 allegations, the nature of the order sought by the State,
15 including whether temporary custody is sought, and the
16 consequences of failure to appear; and shall explain the right
17 of the parties and the procedures to vacate or modify a shelter
18 care order as provided in this Section. The notice for a
19 shelter care hearing shall be substantially as follows:

2     Sec. 4-9. Shelter care hearing. At the appearance of the
3 minor before the court at the shelter care hearing, all
4 witnesses present shall be examined before the court in
5 relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
6 the petition.
7     (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
8 believe that the minor is addicted, it shall release the minor
9 and dismiss the petition.

19 Administrator or other appropriate agency executive temporary
20 custodian of the minor and the court may enter such other
21 orders related to the temporary custody as it deems fit and
22 proper, including the provision of services to the minor or his
23 family to ameliorate the causes contributing to the finding of
24 probable cause or to the finding of the existence of immediate
25 and urgent necessity. Acceptance of services shall not be
26 considered an admission of any allegation in a petition made
27 pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of services be
28 considered as evidence in any proceeding pursuant to this Act,
29 except where the issue is whether the Department has made
30 reasonable efforts to reunite the family. In making its
31 findings that reasonable efforts have been made or that good
32 cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot prevent or
33 eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
34 home, the court shall state in writing its findings concerning
35 the nature of the services that were offered or the efforts
36 that were made to prevent removal of the child and the apparent

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 28 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 reasons that such services or efforts could not prevent the
2 need for removal. The parents, guardian, custodian, temporary
3 custodian and minor shall each be furnished a copy of such
4 written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a copy
5 of the court order and written findings in the case record for
6 the child. The order together with the court's findings of fact
7 in support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
8     Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
9 urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
10 be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
11 returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
12 finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
13 protection of the minor.
14     (3) If neither the parent, guardian, legal custodian,
15 responsible relative nor counsel of the minor has had actual
16 notice of or is present at the shelter care hearing, he or she
17 may file his or her affidavit setting forth these facts, and
18 the clerk shall set the matter for rehearing not later than 24
19 hours, excluding Sundays and legal holidays, after the filing
20 of the affidavit. At the rehearing, the court shall proceed in
21 the same manner as upon the original hearing.
22     (4) If the minor is not brought before a judicial officer
23 within the time period as specified in Section 4-8, the minor
24 must immediately be released from custody.
25     (5) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that the
26 minor taken into custody is a person described in subsection
27 (3) of Section 5-105 may the minor be kept or detained in a
28 detention home or county or municipal jail. This Section shall
29 in no way be construed to limit subsection (6).
30     (6) No minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a
31 jail or place ordinarily used for the confinement of prisoners
32 in a police station. Minors under 18 17 years of age must be
33 kept separate from confined adults and may not at any time be
34 kept in the same cell, room or yard with adults confined
35 pursuant to the criminal law.
36     (7) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 29 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 within 24 hours to take custody of a minor released upon
2 request pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section, then the
3 clerk of the court shall set the matter for rehearing not later
4 than 7 days after the original order and shall issue a summons
5 directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to appear. At the
6 same time the probation department shall prepare a report on
7 the minor. If a parent, guardian or custodian does not appear
8 at such rehearing, the judge may enter an order prescribing
9 that the minor be kept in a suitable place designated by the
10 Department of Children and Family Services or a licensed child
11 welfare agency.
12     (8) Any interested party, including the State, the
13 temporary custodian, an agency providing services to the minor
14 or family under a service plan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the
15 Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or any
16 of their representatives, may file a motion to modify or vacate
17 a temporary custody order on any of the following grounds:
18         (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent
19 necessity that the minor remain in shelter care; or
20         (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of
21 the natural family from which the minor was removed; or
22         (c) A person, including a parent, relative or legal
23 guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
24 minor; or
25         (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and
26 Family Services or a child welfare agency or other service
27 provider have been successful in eliminating the need for
28 temporary custody.
29     The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
30 14 days after such motion is filed. In the event that the court
31 modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does not
32 vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order that
33 appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf of the
34 minor and his or her family.

11     (c) (i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
12 first degree murder committed during the course of aggravated
13 criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, or
14 aggravated kidnaping, in sentencing the minor, the court shall
15 have available any or all dispositions prescribed for that
16 offense under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
17     (ii) If the minor was not yet 15 years of age at the time of
18 the offense, and if after trial or plea the court finds that
19 the minor committed an offense other than first degree murder
20 committed during the course of either aggravated criminal
21 sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, or aggravated
22 kidnapping, the finding shall not invalidate the verdict or the
23 prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of the State;
24 however, unless the State requests a hearing for the purpose of
25 sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
26 Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections 5-705 and
27 5-710 of this Article. To request a hearing, the State must
28 file a written motion within 10 days following the entry of a
29 finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable notice of the
30 motion shall be given to the minor or his or her counsel. If
31 the motion is made by the State, the court shall conduct a
32 hearing to determine whether the minor should be sentenced
33 under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections. In making
34 its determination, the court shall consider among other
35 matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense was
36 committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the age

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 41 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 of the minor; (c) the previous delinquent history of the minor;
2 (d) whether there are facilities particularly available to the
3 Juvenile Court or the Department of Corrections, Juvenile
4 Division, for the treatment and rehabilitation of the minor;
5 (e) whether the best interest of the minor and the security of
6 the public require sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified
7 Code of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor possessed a
8 deadly weapon when committing the offense. The rules of
9 evidence shall be the same as if at trial. If after the hearing
10 the court finds that the minor should be sentenced under
11 Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, then the court
12 shall sentence the minor accordingly having available to it any
13 or all dispositions so prescribed.
14     (5) (a) The definition of delinquent minor under Section
15 5-120 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who is
16 charged with a violation of subsection (a) of Section 31-6 or
17 Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 1961 when the minor is
18 subject to prosecution under the criminal laws of this State as
19 a result of the application of the provisions of Section 5-125,
20 or subsection (1) or (2) of this Section. These charges and all
21 other charges arising out of the same incident shall be
22 prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
23     (b) (i) If before trial or plea an information or
24 indictment is filed that does not charge an offense specified
25 in paragraph (a) of this subsection (5), the State's Attorney
26 may proceed on any lesser charge or charges, but only in
27 Juvenile Court under the provisions of this Article. The
28 State's Attorney may proceed under the criminal laws of this
29 State on a lesser charge if before trial the minor defendant
30 knowingly and with advice of counsel waives, in writing, his or
31 her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
32     (ii) If before trial or plea an information or indictment
33 is filed that includes one or more charges specified in
34 paragraph (a) of this subsection (5) and additional charges
35 that are not specified in that paragraph, all of the charges
36 arising out of the same incident shall be prosecuted under the

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 42 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 criminal laws of this State.
2     (c) (i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
3 any offense covered by paragraph (a) of this subsection (5),
4 then, in sentencing the minor, the court shall have available
5 any or all dispositions prescribed for that offense under
6 Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
7     (ii) If after trial or plea the court finds that the minor
8 committed an offense not covered by paragraph (a) of this
9 subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the verdict
10 or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of this
11 State; however, unless the State requests a hearing for the
12 purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified
13 Code of Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections
14 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article. To request a hearing, the
15 State must file a written motion within 10 days following the
16 entry of a finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable
17 notice of the motion shall be given to the minor or his or her
18 counsel. If the motion is made by the State, the court shall
19 conduct a hearing to determine if whether the minor should be
20 sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
21 In making its determination, the court shall consider among
22 other matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense
23 was committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the
24 age of the minor; (c) the previous delinquent history of the
25 minor; (d) whether there are facilities particularly available
26 to the Juvenile Court or the Department of Corrections,
27 Juvenile Division, for the treatment and rehabilitation of the
28 minor; (e) whether the security of the public requires
29 sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections;
30 and (f) whether the minor possessed a deadly weapon when
31 committing the offense. The rules of evidence shall be the same
32 as if at trial. If after the hearing the court finds that the
33 minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code
34 of Corrections, then the court shall sentence the minor
35 accordingly having available to it any or all dispositions so
36 prescribed.

1     (6) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 5-120
2 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who, pursuant to
3 subsection (1), (2), or (3) or Section 5-805, or 5-810, has
4 previously been placed under the jurisdiction of the criminal
5 court and has been convicted of a crime under an adult criminal
6 or penal statute. Such a minor shall be subject to prosecution
7 under the criminal laws of this State.
8     (7) The procedures set out in this Article for the
9 investigation, arrest and prosecution of juvenile offenders
10 shall not apply to minors who are excluded from jurisdiction of
11 the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 18 17 years of age
12 shall be kept separate from confined adults.
13     (8) Nothing in this Act prohibits or limits the prosecution
14 of any minor for an offense committed on or after his or her
15 18th 17th birthday even though he or she is at the time of the
16 offense a ward of the court.
17     (9) If an original petition for adjudication of wardship
18 alleges the commission by a minor 13 years of age or over of an
19 act that constitutes a crime under the laws of this State, the
20 minor, with the consent of his or her counsel, may, at any time
21 before commencement of the adjudicatory hearing, file with the
22 court a motion that criminal prosecution be ordered and that
23 the petition be dismissed insofar as the act or acts involved
24 in the criminal proceedings are concerned. If such a motion is
25 filed as herein provided, the court shall enter its order
26 accordingly.
27     (10) If a minor is subject to the provisions of subsection
28 (2) of this Section, other than a minor charged with a Class X
29 felony violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, any
30 party including the minor or the court sua sponte may, before
31 trial, move for a hearing for the purpose of trying and
32 sentencing the minor as a delinquent minor. To request a
33 hearing, the party must file a motion prior to trial.
34 Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all parties.
35 On its own motion or upon the filing of a motion by one of the
36 parties including the minor, the court shall conduct a hearing

4     (a) The age of the minor;
5     (b) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of the
6 minor;
7     (c) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the minor;
8     (d) Any mental health or educational history of the minor,
9 or both; and
10     (e) Whether there is probable cause to support the charge,
11 whether the minor is charged through accountability, and
12 whether there is evidence the minor possessed a deadly weapon
13 or caused serious bodily harm during the offense.
14     Any material that is relevant and reliable shall be
15 admissible at the hearing. In all cases, the judge shall enter
16 an order permitting prosecution under the criminal laws of
17 Illinois unless the judge makes a finding based on a
18 preponderance of the evidence that the minor would be amenable
19 to the care, treatment, and training programs available through
20 the facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
21 the factors listed in this subsection (10).

29 care in a foster family home or other shelter facility
30 designated by the court.
31     (2) (a) Any minor 10 years of age or older arrested
32 pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe
33 that the minor is a delinquent minor and that (i) secured
34 custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
35 protection of the minor or of the person or property of

1 another, (ii) the minor is likely to flee the jurisdiction of
2 the court, or (iii) the minor was taken into custody under a
3 warrant, may be kept or detained in an authorized detention
4 facility. No minor under 12 years of age shall be detained in a
5 county jail or a municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
6     (b) The written authorization of the probation officer or
7 detention officer (or other public officer designated by the
8 court in a county having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants)
9 constitutes authority for the superintendent of any juvenile
10 detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
11 excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court-designated holidays.
12 These records shall be available to the same persons and
13 pursuant to the same conditions as are law enforcement records
14 as provided in Section 5-905.
15     (b-4) The consultation required by subsection (b-5) shall
16 not be applicable if the probation officer or detention officer
17 (or other public officer designated by the court in a county
18 having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) utilizes a scorable
19 detention screening instrument, which has been developed with
20 input by the State's Attorney, to determine whether a minor
21 should be detained, however, subsection (b-5) shall still be
22 applicable where no such screening instrument is used or where
23 the probation officer, detention officer (or other public
24 officer designated by the court in a county having 3,000,000 or
25 more inhabitants) deviates from the screening instrument.
26     (b-5) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b-4), if a
27 probation officer or detention officer (or other public officer
28 designated by the court in a county having 3,000,000 or more
29 inhabitants) does not intend to detain a minor for an offense
30 which constitutes one of the following offenses he or she shall

32 of the minor: first degree murder, second degree murder,
33 involuntary manslaughter, criminal sexual assault, aggravated
34 criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery with a firearm,

5     (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or
6 (e), no minor shall be detained in a county jail or municipal
7 lockup for more than 12 hours, unless the offense is a crime of
8 violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
9 hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
10 has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
11 Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
12         (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
13 once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
14 handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
15 county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
16 minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
17 custody.
18         (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
19 supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
20 remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
21         (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or
22 lockup, the minor shall be informed of the purpose of the
23 detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact
24 that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
25         (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
26 is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
27 circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of
28 time the minor was in detention.
29         (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
30 county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
31 itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
32 of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 17
33 years of age shall be kept separate from confined adults
34 and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or
35 yard with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons
36 18 17 years of age and older who have a petition of

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 47 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 delinquency filed against them may be confined in an adult
2 detention facility. In making a determination whether to

8 the person;
9             (C) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the
10 person; and

13     (d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in a
14 county jail in a county with a population below 3,000,000
15 inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall be implemented
16 in such a manner that there will be no contact by sight, sound
17 or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
18 years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
19 adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
20 or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
21 apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
22 not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court
23 designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time
24 period, county jails shall comply with all monitoring standards
25 promulgated by the Department of Corrections and training
26 standards approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
27 Standards Board.
28     (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
29 after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this
30 subsection (2) of this Section but not exceeding 7 days
31 including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays pending an
32 adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all
33 temporary detention standards promulgated by the Department of
34 Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois Law
35 Enforcement Training Standards Board.
36     (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,

2 (d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of this Section, county jails
3 shall comply with all programmatic and training standards for
4 juvenile detention homes promulgated by the Department of
5 Corrections.
6     (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
7 prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court may
8 enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in the
9 county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
10 under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
11 confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
12 no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
13 and adult prisoners.
14     (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
15 minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
16 the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
17 officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
18 and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
19 and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
20     (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
21 taken to a County Jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
22 constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or
23 correctional officer. During such time as is necessary to
24 process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement
25 officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound separation
26 provisions shall not apply.
27     (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such
28 other public officer designated by the court in a county having
29 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) determines that the minor may be
30 a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3) of Section
31 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does not require
32 physical restriction, the minor may be placed in non-secure
33 custody for up to 40 hours pending a detention hearing.
34     (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring
35 secure detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his
36 or her parent or guardian subject to such conditions as the

27     (6) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit
28 the maintenance of information relating to an offense after
29 records or files concerning the offense have been expunged if
30 the information is kept in a manner that does not enable
31 identification of the offender. This information may only be
32 used for statistical and bona fide research purposes.

1     (730 ILCS 5/3-10-7)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-10-7)
2     Sec. 3-10-7. Interdivisional Transfers. (a) In any case
3 where a minor was originally prosecuted under the provisions of
4 the Criminal Code of 1961, as amended, and sentenced under the
5 provisions of this Act pursuant to Section 2-7 of the Juvenile
6 Court Act or Section 5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
7 and committed to the Juvenile Division under Section 5-8-6, the
8 Department of Corrections shall, within 30 days of the date
9 that the minor reaches the age of 18 17, send formal
10 notification to the sentencing court and the State's Attorney
11 of the county from which the minor was sentenced indicating the
12 day upon which the minor offender will achieve the age of 18
13 17. Within 90 days of receipt of that notice, the sentencing
14 court shall conduct a hearing, pursuant to the provisions of
15 subsection (c) of this Section to determine whether or not the
16 minor shall continue to remain under the auspices of the
17 Juvenile Division or be transferred to the Adult Division of
18 the Department of Corrections.
19     The minor shall be served with notice of the date of the
20 hearing, shall be present at the hearing, and has the right to
21 counsel at the hearing. The minor, with the consent of his or
22 her counsel or guardian may waive his presence at hearing.
23     (b) Unless sooner paroled under Section 3-3-3, the
24 confinement of a minor person committed for an indeterminate
25 sentence in a criminal proceeding shall terminate at the
26 expiration of the maximum term of imprisonment, and he shall
27 thereupon be released to serve a period of parole under Section
28 5-8-1, but if the maximum term of imprisonment does not expire
29 until after his 21st birthday, he shall continue to be subject
30 to the control and custody of the Department, and on his 21st
31 birthday, he shall be transferred to the Adult Division. If
32 such person is on parole on his 21st birthday, his parole
33 supervision may be transferred to the Adult Division.
34     (c) Any interdivisional transfer hearing conducted
35 pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shall consider all

 

 

HB4610 Engrossed - 59 - LRB093 19450 RLC 45188 b

1 available information which may bear upon the issue of
2 transfer. All evidence helpful to the court in determining the
3 question of transfer, including oral and written reports
4 containing hearsay, may be relied upon to the extent of its
5 probative value, even though not competent for the purposes of
6 an adjudicatory hearing. The court shall consider, along with
7 any other relevant matter, the following:
8     1. The nature of the offense for which the minor was found
9 guilty and the length of the sentence the minor has to serve
10 and the record and previous history of the minor.
11     2. The record of the minor's adjustment within the
12 Department of Corrections' Juvenile Division, including, but
13 not limited to, reports from the minor's counselor, any
14 escapes, attempted escapes or violent or disruptive conduct on
15 the part of the minor, any tickets received by the minor,
16 summaries of classes attended by the minor, and any record of
17 work performed by the minor while in the institution.
18     3. The relative maturity of the minor based upon the
19 physical, psychological and emotional development of the
20 minor.
21     4. The record of the rehabilitative progress of the minor
22 and an assessment of the vocational potential of the minor.
23     5. An assessment of the necessity for transfer of the
24 minor, including, but not limited to, the availability of space
25 within the Department of Corrections, the disciplinary and
26 security problem which the minor has presented to the Juvenile
27 Division and the practicability of maintaining the minor in a
28 juvenile facility, whether resources have been exhausted
29 within the Juvenile Division of the Department of Corrections,
30 the availability of rehabilitative and vocational programs
31 within the Department of Corrections, and the anticipated
32 ability of the minor to adjust to confinement within an adult
33 institution based upon the minor's physical size and maturity.
34     All relevant factors considered under this subsection need
35 not be resolved against the juvenile in order to justify such
36 transfer. Access to social records, probation reports or any

1 other reports which are considered by the court for the purpose
2 of transfer shall be made available to counsel for the juvenile
3 at least 30 days prior to the date of the transfer hearing. The
4 Sentencing Court, upon granting a transfer order, shall
5 accompany such order with a statement of reasons.
6     (d) Whenever the Director or his designee determines that
7 the interests of safety, security and discipline require the
8 transfer to the Adult Division of a person 18 17 years or older
9 who was prosecuted under the provisions of the Criminal Code of
10 1961, as amended, and sentenced under the provisions of this
11 Act pursuant to Section 2-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or
12 Section 5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and committed
13 to the Juvenile Division under Section 5-8-6, the Director or
14 his designee may authorize the emergency transfer of such
15 person, unless the transfer of the person is governed by
16 subsection (e) of this Section. The sentencing court shall be
17 provided notice of any emergency transfer no later than 3 days
18 after the emergency transfer. Upon motion brought within 60
19 days of the emergency transfer by the sentencing court or any
20 party, the sentencing court may conduct a hearing pursuant to
21 the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section in order to
22 determine whether the person shall remain confined in the Adult
23 Division.
24     (e) The Director or his designee may authorize the
25 permanent transfer to the Adult Division of any person 18 years
26 or older who was prosecuted under the provisions of the
27 Criminal Code of 1961, as amended, and sentenced under the
28 provisions of this Act pursuant to Section 2-7 of the Juvenile
29 Court Act or Section 5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
30 and committed to the Juvenile Division under Section 5-8-6 of
31 this Act. The Director or his designee shall be governed by the
32 following factors in determining whether to authorize the
33 permanent transfer of the person to the Adult Division:
34     1. The nature of the offense for which the person was found
35 guilty and the length of the sentence the person has to serve
36 and the record and previous history of the person.

3 not limited to, reports from the person's counselor, any
4 escapes, attempted escapes or violent or disruptive conduct on
5 the part of the person, any tickets received by the person,
6 summaries of classes attended by the person, and any record of

9 physical, psychological and emotional development of the
10 person.
11     4. The record of the rehabilitative progress of the person
12 and an assessment of the vocational potential of the person.

16 and security problem which the person has presented to the
17 Juvenile Division and the practicability of maintaining the
18 person in a juvenile facility, whether resources have been
19 exhausted within the Juvenile Division of the Department of
20 Corrections, the availability of rehabilitative and vocational
21 programs within the Department of Corrections, and the
22 anticipated ability of the person to adjust to confinement
23 within an adult institution based upon the person's physical

8     (c) All offenders under 18 17 years of age when sentenced
9 to imprisonment shall be committed to the Juvenile Division of

11 commitment shall set a definite term. Such order of commitment
12 shall be the sentence of the court which may be amended by the
13 court while jurisdiction is retained; and such sentence shall
14 apply whenever the offender sentenced is in the control and
15 custody of the Adult Division of the Department of Corrections.
16 The provisions of Section 3-3-3 shall be a part of such
17 commitment as fully as though written in the order of
18 commitment. The committing court shall retain jurisdiction of

29 of imprisonment imposed by any district court of the United
30 States, it may commit the offender to the custody of the
31 Attorney General of the United States. The Attorney General of
32 the United States, or the authorized representative of the
33 Attorney General of the United States, shall be furnished with
