730 ILCS 5/3-3-9 |
from Ch. 38, par. 1003-3-9 |

Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Eliminates provision that permits the Prisoner Review Board to revoke parole for persons committed under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 and to recommit them until the age of 21 for violations of parole. Provides that the Board may require persons committed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to be continued on the existing term without modifying or enlarging the conditions of parole, unless the minor is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of violating a condition of parole by a juvenile court following a due process hearing with counsel for the minor. Provides that if the court finds the minor guilty of violating parole, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine if it is in the best interest of the minor and the public to recommit the minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Provides that if the minor is recommitted, the minor shall be eligible for release within 30 days, and shall in no event be reconfined for longer than 60 days.

| 1 |
| toll the running of the term until the final determination of | 2 |
| the
charge. When
parole or mandatory supervised release is not | 3 |
| revoked
that period shall be credited to the term, unless a | 4 |
| community-based sanction is imposed as an alternative to | 5 |
| revocation and reincarceration, including a diversion | 6 |

| hearing
before a hearing officer designated by the Board to | 17 |
| determine
if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation | 18 |
| hearing.
However, no preliminary hearing need be held when | 19 |
| revocation is based
upon new criminal charges and a court finds | 20 |
| probable cause on the new
criminal charges or when the | 21 |
| revocation
is based upon a new criminal conviction and a | 22 |
| certified copy of
that conviction is available.
| 23 |
| (d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
| 24 |
| revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
