Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(730 ILCS 5/3-10-12) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-10-12)

Sec. 3-10-12.

The Director of the Department of Juvenile Justice may authorize the use of
any institution or facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice as a Juvenile
Detention Facility for the confinement of minors under 16 years of age in
the custody or detained by the Sheriff of any County or the police
department of any city when said juvenile is being held for appearance
before a Juvenile Court or by Order of Court or for other legal reason,
when there is no Juvenile Detention facility available or there are no
other arrangements suitable for the confinement of juveniles. The Director
of Juvenile Justice may certify that suitable facilities and
personnel are available at the appropriate institution or facility for the
confinement of such minors and this certification shall be filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County. The Director of Juvenile Justice may withdraw or withhold certification at any time. Upon the
filing of the certificate in a county the authorities of the county may
then use those facilities and set forth in the certificate under the terms
and conditions therein for the above purpose. Juveniles confined, by the
Department of Juvenile Justice, under this Section, must be kept separate from
adjudicated delinquents.
