09400HB2096ham001 - 9 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

23     (ii) If after trial or plea the court finds that the minor
24 committed an offense not covered by paragraph (a) of this
25 subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the verdict
26 or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of this
27 State; however, unless the State requests a hearing for the
28 purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified
29 Code of Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections
30 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article. To request a hearing, the
31 State must file a written motion within 10 days following the
32 entry of a finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable

7 minor; (d) whether there are facilities particularly available
8 to the Juvenile Court or the Department of Corrections,

12 and (f) whether the minor possessed a deadly weapon when
13 committing the offense. The rules of evidence shall be the same
14 as if at trial. If after the hearing the court finds that the
15 minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code
16 of Corrections, then the court shall sentence the minor
17 accordingly having available to it any or all dispositions so
18 prescribed.
19     (6) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 5-120
20 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who, pursuant to

22 previously been placed under the jurisdiction of the criminal
23 court and has been convicted of a crime under an adult criminal
24 or penal statute. Such a minor shall be subject to prosecution
25 under the criminal laws of this State.
26     (7) The procedures set out in this Article for the
27 investigation, arrest and prosecution of juvenile offenders
28 shall not apply to minors who are excluded from jurisdiction of
29 the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 17 years of age
30 shall be kept separate from confined adults.
31     (8) Nothing in this Act prohibits or limits the prosecution
32 of any minor for an offense committed on or after his or her
33 17th birthday even though he or she is at the time of the
34 offense a ward of the court.

1     (9) If an original petition for adjudication of wardship
2 alleges the commission by a minor 13 years of age or over of an
3 act that constitutes a crime under the laws of this State, the
4 minor, with the consent of his or her counsel, may, at any time
5 before commencement of the adjudicatory hearing, file with the
6 court a motion that criminal prosecution be ordered and that
7 the petition be dismissed insofar as the act or acts involved
8 in the criminal proceedings are concerned. If such a motion is
9 filed as herein provided, the court shall enter its order
10 accordingly.
11     (10) If prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
12 of the 94th General Assembly, a minor is charged with a
13 violation of Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substances
14 Act under the criminal laws of this State subject to the
15 provisions of subsection (2) of this Section, other than a
16 minor charged with a Class X felony violation of the Illinois

18 court sua sponte may, before trial, move for a hearing for the
19 purpose of trying and sentencing the minor as a delinquent
20 minor. To request a hearing, the party must file a motion prior
21 to trial. Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all
22 parties. On its own motion or upon the filing of a motion by
23 one of the parties including the minor, the court shall conduct
24 a hearing to determine whether the minor should be tried and
25 sentenced as a delinquent minor under this Article. In making
26 its determination, the court shall consider among other
27 matters:

09400HB2096ham001 - 13 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1 whether the minor is charged through accountability, and
2 whether there is evidence the minor possessed a deadly weapon
3 or caused serious bodily harm during the offense.
4     Any material that is relevant and reliable shall be
5 admissible at the hearing. In all cases, the judge shall enter
6 an order permitting prosecution under the criminal laws of
7 Illinois unless the judge makes a finding based on a
8 preponderance of the evidence that the minor would be amenable
9 to the care, treatment, and training programs available through
10 the facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
11 the factors listed in this subsection (10).

20     those motions shall, upon determining that there is
21     probable cause that both allegations are true, enter an
22     order permitting prosecution under the criminal laws of
23     Illinois.
24         (d) If a petition alleges commission by a minor 15
25     years of age or older of an act that constitutes the

13         (a) If the State's Attorney files a petition, at any
14     time prior to commencement of the minor's trial, to permit

18     aggravated discharge of a firearm; (iii) armed violence
19     with a firearm when the predicate offense is a Class 1 or

21     transfer the case alleges that the offense committed is in
22     furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized
23     gang; (iv) armed violence with a firearm when the predicate
24     offense is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
25     Substances Act or a violation of the Cannabis Control Act;

4     Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act and
5     the offense is alleged to have occurred while in a school
6     or on a public way within 1,000 feet of the real property
7     comprising any school, regardless of the time of day or the
8     time of year when the delivery or intended delivery of any
9     amount of the controlled substance is to a person under 17
10     years of age, (to qualify for a presumptive transfer under
11     paragraph (vi) or (vii) of this clause (2) (a), the
12     violation cannot be based upon subsection (b) of Section
13     407 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act) , and, if the
14     juvenile judge assigned to hear and determine motions to
15     transfer a case for prosecution in the criminal court
16     determines that there is probable cause to believe that the
17     allegations in the petition and motion are true, there is a
18     rebuttable presumption that the minor is not a fit and
19     proper subject to be dealt with under the Juvenile Justice
20     Reform Provisions of 1998 (Public Act 90-590), and that,
21     except as provided in paragraph (b), the case should be
22     transferred to the criminal court.
23         (b) The judge shall enter an order permitting
24     prosecution under the criminal laws of Illinois unless the
25     judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing
26     evidence that the minor would be amenable to the care,
27     treatment, and training programs available through the
28     facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
29     the following:
30         (i) the age of the minor;
31         (ii) the history of the minor, including:
32             (a) any previous delinquent or criminal history of

19     sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
20     Corrections:
21             (a) the minor's history of services, including the
22         minor's willingness to participate meaningfully in
23         available services;
24             (b) whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
25         the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of
26         the juvenile court's jurisdiction;

28         (i) The seriousness of the alleged offense;
29         (ii) The minor's history of delinquency;
30         (iii) The age of the minor;
31         (iv) The culpability of the minor in committing the
32     alleged offense;

34     or premeditated manner;

2     weapon when committing the alleged offense;
3         (vii) The minor's history of services, including the

6         (viii) Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
7     the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of the
8     juvenile court's jurisdiction;
9         (ix) The adequacy of the punishment or services
10     available in the juvenile justice system.
11     In considering these factors, the court shall give greater
12 weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the
13 minor's prior record of delinquency than to the other factors
14 listed in this subsection.
15         For purposes of clauses (2)(a) (vi) and (vii):

24     (3) Discretionary transfer.
25         (a) If a petition alleges commission by a minor 13
26     years of age or over of an act that constitutes a crime
27     under the laws of this State and, on motion of the State's
28     Attorney to permit prosecution of the minor under the
29     criminal laws, a Juvenile Judge assigned by the Chief Judge
30     of the Circuit to hear and determine those motions, after
31     hearing but before commencement of the trial, finds that
32     there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in
33     the motion are true and that it is not in the best
34     interests of the public to proceed under this Act, the

 

 

09400HB2096ham001 - 19 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1     court may enter an order permitting prosecution under the
2     criminal laws.
3         (b) In making its determination on the motion to permit
4     prosecution under the criminal laws, the court shall
5     consider among other matters:
6         (i) the age of the minor;
7         (ii) the history of the minor, including:
8             (a) any previous delinquent or criminal history of
9         the minor,
10             (b) any previous abuse or neglect history of the
11         minor, and

25     justice system including whether there are facilities or
26     programs, or both, particularly available in the juvenile

29     sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
30     Corrections:
31             (a) the minor's history of services, including the
32         minor's willingness to participate meaningfully in
33         available services;
34             (b) whether there is a reasonable likelihood that

 

 

09400HB2096ham001 - 20 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1         the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of

19 weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the
20 minor's prior record of delinquency than to the other factors
21 listed in this subsection.
22     (4) The rules of evidence for this hearing shall be the
23 same as under Section 5-705 of this Act. A minor must be
24 represented in court by counsel before the hearing may be
25 commenced.
26     (5) If criminal proceedings are instituted, the petition
27 for adjudication of wardship shall be dismissed insofar as the
28 act or acts involved in the criminal proceedings. Taking of
29 evidence in a trial on petition for adjudication of wardship is
30 a bar to criminal proceedings based upon the conduct alleged in
31 the petition.

2     Sec. 5-810. Extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions.
3     (1) If the State's Attorney files a petition, at any time
4 prior to commencement of the minor's trial, to designate the
5 proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution
6 and the petition alleges the commission by a minor 13 years of
7 age or older of any offense which would be a felony if
8 committed by an adult, and, if the juvenile judge assigned to
9 hear and determine petitions to designate the proceeding as an
10 extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines that
11 there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in the
12 petition and motion are true, there is a rebuttable presumption
13 that the proceeding shall be designated as an extended
14 jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
15     (b) The judge shall enter an order designating the
16 proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding
17 unless the judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing
18 evidence that sentencing under the Chapter V of the Unified
19 Code of Corrections would not be appropriate for the minor
20 based on an evaluation of the following factors:
21         (i) the age of the minor;
22         (ii) the history of the minor, including:
23             (a) any previous delinquent or criminal history of

1             (d) whether there is evidence the offense caused
2         serious bodily harm,
3             (e) whether there is evidence the minor possessed a
4         deadly weapon;
5         (iv) the advantages of treatment within the juvenile
6     justice system including whether there are facilities or
7     programs, or both, particularly available in the juvenile
8     system;
9         (v) whether the security of the public requires
10     sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
11     Corrections:
12             (a) the minor's history of services, including the
13         minor's willingness to participate meaningfully in
14         available services;
15             (b) whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
16         the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of

27     weapon when committing the alleged offense.
28     In considering these factors, the court shall give greater
29 weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the
30 minor's prior record of delinquency than to other factors
31 listed in this subsection.
32     (2) Procedures for extended jurisdiction juvenile
33 prosecutions.
34         (a) The State's Attorney may file a written motion for

 

 

09400HB2096ham001 - 23 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1     a proceeding to be designated as an extended juvenile
2     jurisdiction prior to commencement of trial. Notice of the
3     motion shall be in compliance with Section 5-530. When the
4     State's Attorney files a written motion that a proceeding
5     be designated an extended jurisdiction juvenile
6     prosecution, the court shall commence a hearing within 30
7     days of the filing of the motion for designation, unless
8     good cause is shown by the prosecution or the minor as to
9     why the hearing could not be held within this time period.
10     If the court finds good cause has been demonstrated, then
11     the hearing shall be held within 60 days of the filing of
12     the motion. The hearings shall be open to the public unless
13     the judge finds that the hearing should be closed for the
14     protection of any party, victim or witness. If the Juvenile
15     Judge assigned to hear and determine a motion to designate
16     an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines
17     that there is probable cause to believe that the
18     allegations in the petition and motion are true the court
19     shall grant the motion for designation. Information used by
20     the court in its findings or stated in or offered in
21     connection with this Section may be by way of proffer based
22     on reliable information offered by the State or the minor.
23     All evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and
24     reliable regardless of whether it would be admissible under
25     the rules of evidence.
26     (3) Trial. A minor who is subject of an extended
27 jurisdiction juvenile prosecution has the right to trial by
28 jury. Any trial under this Section shall be open to the public.
29     (4) Sentencing. If an extended jurisdiction juvenile
30 prosecution under subsections (1) results in a guilty plea, a
31 verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilt, the court shall
32 impose the following:
33         (i) one or more juvenile sentences under Section 5-710;
34     and

 

 

09400HB2096ham001 - 24 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1         (ii) an adult criminal sentence in accordance with the
2     provisions of Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
3     the execution of which shall be stayed on the condition
4     that the offender not violate the provisions of the
5     juvenile sentence.
6 Any sentencing hearing under this Section shall be open to the
7 public.
8     (5) If, after an extended jurisdiction juvenile
9 prosecution trial, a minor is convicted of a lesser-included
10 offense or of an offense that the State's Attorney did not
11 designate as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution,
12 the State's Attorney may file a written motion, within 10 days
13 of the finding of guilt, that the minor be sentenced as an
14 extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution offender. The court
15 shall rule on this motion using the factors found in paragraph
16 (1) (b) of Section 5-805. If the court denies the State's
17 Attorney's motion for sentencing under the extended
18 jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the court shall
19 proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
20     (6) When it appears that a minor convicted in an extended
21 jurisdiction juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) has
22 violated the conditions of his or her sentence, or is alleged
23 to have committed a new offense upon the filing of a petition
24 to revoke the stay, the court may, without notice, issue a
25 warrant for the arrest of the minor. After a hearing, if the
26 court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the minor
27 committed a new offense, the court shall order execution of the
28 previously imposed adult criminal sentence. After a hearing, if
29 the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the
30 minor committed a violation of his or her sentence other than
31 by a new offense, the court may order execution of the
32 previously imposed adult criminal sentence or may continue him
33 or her on the existing juvenile sentence with or without
34 modifying or enlarging the conditions. Upon revocation of the

 

 

09400HB2096ham001 - 25 - LRB094 03050 RLC 44771 a

1 stay of the adult criminal sentence and imposition of that
2 sentence, the minor's extended jurisdiction juvenile status
3 shall be terminated. The on-going jurisdiction over the minor's
4 case shall be assumed by the adult criminal court and juvenile
5 court jurisdiction shall be terminated and a report of the
6 imposition of the adult sentence shall be sent to the
7 Department of State Police.
8     (7) Upon successful completion of the juvenile sentence the
9 court shall vacate the adult criminal sentence.
10     (8) Nothing in this Section precludes the State from filing
11 a motion for transfer under Section 5-805.
