Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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 5/3-15-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-15-3)
Sec. 3-15-3. Persons with mental illness and developmental
disabilities. (a) The Department of Corrections must, by rule, adopt
standards
and procedures
for the provision of mental health and developmental disability services to
persons with mental illness and persons with a developmental disability
confined in a county jail as set forth under
Section 3-7-7 of this Code.
The Department of Juvenile Justice must, by rule, adopt standards and procedures for the provision of mental health and developmental disability services to persons with mental illness and persons with a developmental disability confined in a juvenile detention facility as set forth under Section 3-7-7 of this Code. Those standards and procedures must address screening and classification,
the use of
psychotropic medications, suicide prevention, qualifications of staff, staffing
levels, staff training, discharge, linkage and aftercare, the confidentiality
of mental health records, and such other issues as are necessary to ensure that
inmates with mental illness receive adequate and humane care and services.
(b) At least once each year, the Department of Corrections must inspect each county jail
for compliance with the standards and
procedures established. At least once each year, the Department of Juvenile Justice must inspect each juvenile detention facility for compliance with the standards and procedures established.
The results of the inspection must be made available by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, for
public inspection. If any county jail or juvenile detention facility does not comply
with the standards and procedures
established, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, must give notice to the county board
and the sheriff of such noncompliance, specifying the particular standards and
procedures that
have not been met by the county jail or juvenile detention facility. If the county jail or
juvenile detention facility is not in
compliance with the standards and procedures when 6 months have elapsed from
the giving of
such notice, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, may petition the appropriate court for
an order
requiring the jail or juvenile detention facility to comply with the standards
and procedures established by the
Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, or for other appropriate relief.
