12             (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
13         released to his or her parents, guardian or legal

HB0371 Engrossed - 2 - LRB094 02476 RLC 32477 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
12         was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
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
18         for time spent in detention before the filing of a
19         violation of probation or conditional discharge
20         alleging the same or related act or acts;
21             (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
22         in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
23         of Mature Minors Act;
24             (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
25         or driving privileges suspended for such time as
26         determined by the court but only until he or she
27         attains 18 years of age;
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

 

 

HB0371 Engrossed - 3 - LRB094 02476 RLC 32477 b

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

12 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
13 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
14 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
15 Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
16     (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
17 attend school or participate in a program of training, the

27 be ordered to perform community service for not less than 30

13 whether the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
14 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
15 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
16 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
17 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
18 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
19 as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
20 otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
21 kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
22 the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
23 envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
24 order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
25 in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
26 public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
27 whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
28 shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
29 with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
30 also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
31 victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's
32 parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's
33 parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for

1 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
2 are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
3 shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
4 the minor.
5     (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
6 shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
7 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
8 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
9 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
10 allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
11 subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
12 a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
13 of 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the
14 wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines the question
15 in the affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to
16 the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, the court
17 shall order the minor to perform community service for not less
18 than 30 hours nor more than 120 hours, provided that community
19 service is available in the jurisdiction and is funded and
20 approved by the county board of the county where the offense
21 was committed. The community service shall include, but need
22 not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of any damage caused
23 by a violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961
24 and similar damage to property located in the municipality or
25 county in which the violation occurred. When possible and
26 reasonable, the community service shall be performed in the
27 minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any
28 other order authorized by this Section except for an order to
29 place the minor in the custody of the Department of
30 Corrections, Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this
31 Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
32 Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
33 Prevention Act.
