19to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have the same
20powers as the sentencing court. The probation department within
21the circuit to which jurisdiction has been transferred, or
22which has agreed to provide supervision, may impose probation
23fees upon receiving the transferred offender, as provided in

1department from the original sentencing court shall retain all
2probation fees collected prior to the transfer. After the
3transfer, all probation fees shall be paid to the probation
4department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
5transferred.
6    If the transfer case originated in another state and has
7been transferred under the Interstate Compact for Juveniles to
8the jurisdiction of an Illinois circuit court for supervision
9by an Illinois probation department, probation fees may be
10imposed only if permitted by the Interstate Commission for
11Juveniles.
12    (6) The General Assembly finds that in order to protect the
13public, the juvenile justice system must compel compliance with
14the conditions of probation by responding to violations with
15swift, certain, and fair punishments and intermediate
16sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a system
17of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of the
18terms and conditions of a sentence of supervision, probation or
19conditional discharge, under this Act.
20    The court shall provide as a condition of a disposition of
21probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
22probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
23intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
24circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
25sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
26subject to the provisions of Section 5-720 of this Act.
