3     by the court.
4     (6) A minor whose case is continued under supervision under

10 hearing.
11     (7) If a petition is filed charging a violation of a

4 under supervision, require the minor to perform community
5 service for not less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if
6 community service is available in the jurisdiction. The
7 community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
8 the cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the
9 alleged violation or similar damage to property located in the
10 municipality or county in which the alleged violation occurred.
11 The condition may be in addition to any other condition.
12     (8.5) When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
13 delinquent for reasons that include a violation of Section 3.02
14 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals Act or paragraph
15 (d) of subsection (1) of Section 21-1 of the Criminal Code of
16 1961 is continued under this Section, the court shall, as a
17 condition of the continuance under supervision, require the
18 minor to undergo medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by a
19 psychiatrist or psychological treatment rendered by a clinical
20 psychologist. The condition may be in addition to any other
21 condition.
22     (9) When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
23 delinquent is continued under this Section, the court, before
24 continuing the case, shall make a finding whether the offense
25 alleged to have been committed either: (i) was related to or in
26 furtherance of the activities of an organized gang or was

 

 

HB0274 Engrossed - 9 - LRB095 04004 RLC 24037 b

1 motivated by the minor's membership in or allegiance to an
2 organized gang, or (ii) is a violation of paragraph (13) of
3 subsection (a) of Section 12-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961, a
4 violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code of
5 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the unlawful
6 use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
7 affirmative the court shall, as a condition of the continuance
8 under supervision and as part of or in addition to any other
9 condition of the supervision, require the minor to perform
10 community service for not less than 30 hours, provided that
11 community service is available in the jurisdiction and is
12 funded and approved by the county board of the county where the
13 offense was committed. The community service shall include, but
14 need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of any damage
15 caused by an alleged violation of Section 21-1.3 of the
16 Criminal Code of 1961 and similar damage to property located in
17 the municipality or county in which the alleged violation
18 occurred. When possible and reasonable, the community service
19 shall be performed in the minor's neighborhood. For the
20 purposes of this Section, "organized gang" has the meaning
21 ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
22 Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
23     (10) The court shall impose upon a minor placed on
24 supervision, as a condition of the supervision, a fee of $25
25 for each month of supervision ordered by the court, unless
26 after determining the inability of the minor placed on

 

 

HB0274 Engrossed - 10 - LRB095 04004 RLC 24037 b

1 supervision to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser amount.
2 The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is made a ward
3 of the State under this Act while the minor is in placement.
4 The fee shall be imposed only upon a minor who is actively
5 supervised by the probation and court services department. A
6 court may order the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the
7 minor to pay some or all of the fee on the minor's behalf.
8     (11) If a minor is placed on supervision for a violation of
9 subsection (b) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use by
10 Minors Act, the court may, in its discretion, and upon
11 recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and
12 his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a smoker's
13 education or youth diversion program as defined in that Act if
14 that program is available in the jurisdiction where the
15 offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or youth
16 diversion program shall be time-credited against any community
17 service time imposed for any first violation of subsection (b)
18 of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any other penalty that
19 the court may impose for a violation of subsection (b) of
20 Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the State's
21 Attorney, may in its discretion require the offender to remit a
22 fee for his or her attendance at a smoker's education or youth
23 diversion program.
24     For purposes of this Section, "smoker's education program"
25 or "youth diversion program" includes, but is not limited to, a
26 seminar designed to educate a person on the physical and

 

 

HB0274 Engrossed - 11 - LRB095 04004 RLC 24037 b

1 psychological effects of smoking tobacco products and the
2 health consequences of smoking tobacco products that can be
3 conducted with a locality's youth diversion program.
4     In addition to any other penalty that the court may impose
5 under this subsection (11):

8 sentence of 15 hours of community service or a fine of $25 for
9 a first violation.
10     (b) A second violation by a minor of subsection (b) of
11 Section 1 of that Act that occurs within 12 months after the

15 subsection (b) of Section 1 of that Act that occurs within 12
16 months after the first violation is punishable by a $100 fine

18     (d) Any second or subsequent violation not within the
19 12-month time period after the first violation is punishable as

1         may be extended by further order of the court for a
2         minor under age 13 committed to the Department of
3         Children and Family Services if the court finds that
4         the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
5         shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
6         detention for time spent in detention under Sections
7         5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a

1         Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
2         incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
3         of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
4         adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
5         upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
6         notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law; or
7             (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
8         procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a

12     minor is 13 years of age or older, provided that the
13     commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice shall be
14     made only if a term of incarceration is permitted by law
15     for adults found guilty of the offense for which the minor
16     was adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor
17     is in custody before being released upon the request of a
18     parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be considered as
19     time spent in detention.

21     which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances

4 supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
5 protection under Section 5-730.
6     (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
7 does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
8 but is subject to modification until final closing and
9 discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
10     (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
11 any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
12 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
13 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
14 that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section

16 The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
17 ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
18 the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
19 Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
20 victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
21 Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
22 Parental Responsibility Law.

8 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
9 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
10     (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
11 Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
12 of that period for which an adult could be committed for the
13 same act.
14     (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
15 violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall
16 be ordered to perform community service for not less than 30

21 the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
22 envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
23 order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting

1 shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
2 with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
3 also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
4 victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's
5 parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's
6 parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for

9 testing and counseling at the Department of Public Health
10 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
11 are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
12 shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
13 the minor.
14     (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
15 shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
16 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
17 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
18 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
19 allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
20 subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
21 a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
22 of 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the
23 wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines the question
24 in the affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to
25 the Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the
26 minor to perform community service for not less than 30 hours

 

 

HB0274 Engrossed - 19 - LRB095 04004 RLC 24037 b

1 nor more than 120 hours, provided that community service is

8 violation occurred. When possible and reasonable, the
9 community service shall be performed in the minor's
10 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
11 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
12 the minor in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

14 meaning ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
