Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that an oral, written, or sign language statement of a minor, who at the time of the commission of the offense was under 18 years of age, made as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a police station or other place of detention on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act shall be presumed to be inadmissible as evidence in a criminal proceeding or a juvenile court proceeding for an act that if committed by an adult would be a misdemeanor offense under the Sex Offenses Article of the Criminal Code of 2012 or a felony offense under the Criminal Code of 2012 if, during the custodial interrogation, a law enforcement officer, juvenile officer, or other public official or employee, knowingly engages in deception.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, except: (1) limits the presumed inadmissibility to a confession made by the minor during the custodial interrogation (rather than statements) in which the law enforcement officer or juvenile officer (rather than a law enforcement officer, juvenile officer, or other public official or employee) knowingly engaged in deception; (2) provides that the presumption of inadmissibility of the confession may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence (rather than clear and convincing evidence); and (3) in the definition of "deception" changes false statements regarding leniency to unauthorized statements regarding leniency.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, except: (1) limits the presumed inadmissibility to a confession made by the minor during the custodial interrogation (rather than statements) in which the law enforcement officer or juvenile officer (rather than a law enforcement officer, juvenile officer, or other public official or employee) knowingly engaged in deception; (2) provides that the presumption of inadmissibility of the confession may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence (rather than clear and convincing evidence); and (3) in the definition of "deception" changes false statements regarding leniency to unauthorized statements regarding leniency.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. In a provision concerning the prohibition of deceptive tactics, provides that the presumption of inadmissibility of a confession of a minor, who at the time of the commission of the offense was under 18 years of age (rather than by a suspect), at a custodial interrogation at a police station or other place of detention, when such confession is procured through the knowing use of deception, may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence that the confession was voluntarily given, based on the totality of the circumstances. Further amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to make a conforming change.
