(a) The court shall order an eligibility screening and an
assessment of the minor by an agent designated by the

court finds a valid assessment related to the present charge
pending against the minor has been completed within the
previous 60 days.
(b) The judge shall inform the minor that if the
minor fails to meet the conditions of the drug court
program, eligibility to participate in the program may be
revoked and the minor may be sentenced or the prosecution
continued as provided in the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for
the crime charged.
(c) The minor shall execute a written agreement as

residential, or detention-based custodial treatment program. Any
period of time a minor shall serve in a detention-based
treatment program may not be reduced by the accumulation of
good time or other credits and may be for a period of up to
120 days.
(e) The drug court program shall include a regimen of
graduated requirements and rewards and sanctions, including,
but not limited to: restitution, reasonable public service

therapy, drug analysis testing, close monitoring by the court
at a minimum of once every 30 days and supervision of

drug court program. Reasonable public service shall not interfere with school hours, school-related activities, or work commitments of the minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or legal custodian.
