                            -4-            LRB9208026ARsbam03

 5    shall be filed with the court,  with  copies  served  on  the
 6    impounding agency, the owner, and anyone claiming an interest
 7    in  the  animals.   In  a  "petition  for forfeiture prior to

18    the  animal  or  animals were seized, delivered by registered
19    mail to his or her last known address.

20        (510 ILCS 70/3.05 new)
21        Sec. 3.05.  Security for companion  animals  and  animals
22    used for fighting purposes.
23        (a)  In  the  case  of  companion  animals  as defined in
24    Section 2.01a or animals used for fighting purposes  pursuant
25    to  Section  4.01, the animal control or humane agency having
26    custody of the animal or animals may file a petition with the
27    court requesting that the person  from  whom  the  animal  or
28    animals are seized, or the owner of the animal or animals, be
29    ordered  to post security.  The security must be in an amount
30    sufficient to  secure  payment  of  all  reasonable  expenses
31    expected  to  be  incurred  by  the  animal control or humane
32    agency in caring for and providing for the animal or  animals
33    pending  the disposition of the charges.  Reasonable expenses
 
                            -5-            LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    include, but are not limited to, estimated medical  care  and
 2    boarding  of the animal or animals for 30 days. The amount of
 3    the security shall be determined by the  court  after  taking
 4    into  consideration all of the facts and circumstances of the
 5    case, including, but not limited to,  the  recommendation  of
 6    the  impounding  organization  having custody and care of the
 7    seized animal or animals and  the  cost  of  caring  for  the
 8    animal or animals.  If security has been posted in accordance
 9    with  this  Section,  the animal control or humane agency may
10    draw from the security  the  actual  costs  incurred  by  the
11    agency in caring for the seized animal or animals.
12        (b)  Upon  receipt  of  a  petition, the court must set a
13    hearing on the petition, to be conducted  within  5  business
14    days  after the petition is filed.  The petitioner must serve
15    a true copy of  the  petition  upon  the  defendant  and  the
16    State's  Attorney  for  the  county  in  which  the animal or
17    animals were seized.  The petitioner must also serve  a  true
18    copy  of  the  petition  on  any  interested person.  For the
19    purposes of this subsection,  "interested  person"  means  an
20    individual,   partnership,   firm,   joint   stock   company,
21    corporation,  association,  trust,  estate,  or  other  legal
22    entity  that  the  court  determines  may  have  a  pecuniary
23    interest in the animal or animals that are the subject of the
24    petition.  The court must set a hearing date to determine any
25    interested parties.  The court may waive for good cause shown
26    the posting of security.
27        (c)  If the court orders the  posting  of  security,  the
28    security  must be posted with the clerk of the court within 5
29    business days after the hearing. If  the  person  ordered  to
30    post  security  does  not  do  so,  the animal or animals are
31    forfeited by operation of  law  and  the  animal  control  or
32    humane  agency  having  control of the animal or animals must
33    dispose of the animal or animals  through  adoption  or  must
34    humanely euthanize the animal.  In no event may the defendant
 
                            -6-            LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    or any person residing in the defendant's household adopt the
 2    animal or animals.
 3        (d)  The impounding organization may file a petition with
 4    the court upon the expiration of the 30-day period requesting
 5    the  posting  of additional security. The court may order the
 6    person from whom the animal or animals were  seized,  or  the
 7    owner  of  the animal or animals, to post additional security
 8    with the clerk of the court to secure payment  of  reasonable
 9    expenses   for   an  additional  period  of  time  pending  a
10    determination by the court of the charges against the  person
11    from whom the animal or animals were seized.
12        (e)  In  no event may the security prevent the impounding
13    organization having custody and care of the animal or animals
14    from disposing of the animal or animals before the expiration
15    of the 30-day period covered by the  security  if  the  court
16    makes  a determination of the charges against the person from
17    whom the animal or animals were seized. Upon the adjudication
18    of the  charges,  the  person  who  posted  the  security  is
19    entitled  to  a  refund of the security, in whole or in part,
20    for any expenses not incurred by the impounding organization.
21        (f)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this  Section
22    to  the  contrary,  the court may order a person charged with
23    any violation of this Act to provide necessary  food,  water,
24    shelter,  and  care  for  any  animal or animals that are the
25    basis of the charge without the  removal  of  the  animal  or
26    animals  from  their  existing location and until the charges
27    against  the  person  are  adjudicated.     Until   a   final
28    determination  of  the  charges  is made, any law enforcement
29    officer, animal control officer, Department investigator,  or
30    an approved humane investigator may be authorized by an order
31    of  the  court  to make regular visits to the place where the
32    animal or animals are being kept to ascertain if  the  animal
33    or  animals are receiving necessary food, water, shelter, and
34    care.  Nothing in this Section prevents any  law  enforcement
 
                            -7-            LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    officer,   Department   investigator,   or   approved  humane
 2    investigator from applying for a warrant under  this  Section
 3    to  seize  any  animal  or  animals  being held by the person
 4    charged pending the adjudication of  the  charges  if  it  is
 5    determined  that  the animal or animals are not receiving the
 6    necessary food, water, shelter, or care.
 7        (g)  Nothing in this Act shall be  construed  to  prevent
 8    the  voluntary, permanent relinquishment of any animal by its
 9    owner to an animal  control  or  humane  agency  in  lieu  of
10    posting  security  or  proceeding  to  a  forfeiture hearing.
11    Voluntary relinquishment shall have no effect on the criminal
12    charges that may be pursued by the appropriate authorities.
13        (h)  If an owner of a companion animal  is  acquitted  by
14    the  court  of  charges  made pursuant to this Act, the court
15    shall further order that any security that  has  been  posted
16    for  the  animal  shall  be  returned  to  the  owner  by the
17    impounding organization.

18        (510 ILCS 70/3.06 new)
19        Sec. 3.06.  Disposition of seized animals.
20        (a)  Upon the  conviction  of  the  person  charged,  all
21    animals  seized,  if  not  previously  ordered  forfeited  or
22    previously  forfeited  by  operation of law, are forfeited to
23    the facility impounding the  animals  and  must  be  humanely
24    euthanized or adopted.  Any outstanding costs incurred by the
25    impounding  facility  for  boarding  and treating the animals
26    pending the disposition of the case and any costs incurred in
27    disposing  of  the  animals  must  be  borne  by  the  person
28    convicted.
29        (b)  Any person authorized by this Section to care for an
30    animal or animals, to treat  an  animal  or  animals,  or  to
31    attempt  to  restore  an animal or animals to good health and
32    who is acting in good faith  is  immune  from  any  civil  or
33    criminal liability that may result from his or her actions.

 2    presented with an animal or  animals  for  the  treatment  of

11    liability,  civil,  criminal,  or  otherwise, that may result
12    from  his  or  her  actions.   For  the   purposes   of   any

11        Department  must  will  hold  an  administrative  hearing
12        within 7 business  days  after  receiving  a  request  to
13        appeal  the  impoundment.  If  the hearing cannot be held
14        prior to the expiration of the 7-day impoundment  period,
15        the  Department shall notify the impounding facility that

23    disposition of the impounded animals.  This decision  by  the
24    Hearing  Officer shall have no effect on the criminal charges
25    that may be filed with the appropriate authorities.
26        If an owner of a companion  animal  or  animal  used  for
27    fighting  purposes  requests a hearing, the animal control or
28    humane agency having control of the  animal  or  animals  may

 2    days after  the  hearing.  If  the  person  ordered  to  post
 3    security  does not do so, the court must order the Department
 4    of Agriculture to hold a hearing on the impoundment within  5
 5    business  days.   If the Department determines that it is not
 6    in the best interest of the animal or animals to be  returned
 7    to  the person from whom it was seized, the animal or animals
 8    are forfeited to the animal control or humane  agency  having
 9    control  of  the  animal  or animals.  If no petition for the
10    posting of security is filed or  a  petition  was  filed  and
11    granted  but  the person failed to post security, any expense
12    incurred in the impoundment shall  remain  outstanding  until
13    satisfied  by the owner or the person from whom the animal or
14    animals were impounded.
15        Any expense incurred in such impoundment becomes  a  lien
16    on  the  animal  impounded  and must be discharged before the
17    animal is released from the facility. When the impoundment is
18    not appealed, the animal or animals  are  forfeited  and  the
19    animal  control  or  humane agency in charge of the animal or
20    animals  may  lawfully  and  without  liability  provide  for
21    adoption of the animal or animals by a person other than  the
22    person  who forfeited the animal or animals, or any person or
23    persons dwelling in the same  household  as  the  person  who
24    forfeited   the  animals  or  animals,  or  it  may  humanely
25    euthanize the animal or animals. the animal is not claimed by
26    its owner and all impoundment costs satisfied within 7  days,
27    it   may   be  sold  at  public  or  private  sale  for  fair
28    consideration  to  a  person  capable   of   providing   care
29    consistent  with  this  Act,  with  the proceeds of that sale
30    applied first to discharge the lien and  any  balance  to  be
31    paid  over to the owner. If no purchaser is found, the animal
32    may be offered for adoption or disposed of in  a  manner  not
33    inconsistent with this or any other Act.

24    of Sections 24-1.1, 24-1.2, or 24-1.5 of the Criminal Code of
25    1961  or  a  person sentenced for a violation of the Cannabis
26    Control Act or the Controlled  Substance  Act  shall  pay  an
27    additional  fee  of  $100  to the clerk of the circuit court.
28    This amount, less  2  1/2%  that  shall  be  used  to  defray
29    administrative costs incurred by the clerk, shall be remitted
30    by  the  clerk  to the Treasurer within 60 days after receipt
31    for deposit into the Trauma Center Fund.  This additional fee
32    of $100 shall not be  considered  a  part  of  the  fine  for
33    purposes  of any reduction in the fine for time served either
34    before or after sentencing.  Not later than March 1  of  each

30        (1)  The  court  may  enter an order of continuance under
31    supervision for an offense other than first degree murder,  a
32    Class  X felony or a forcible felony (a) upon an admission or
 
                            -31-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    stipulation by the appropriate respondent or minor respondent
 2    of the facts supporting the petition and before proceeding to
 3    adjudication, or after hearing the evidence at the trial, and

 5    minor,  his  or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian, the
 6    minor's attorney or the State's Attorney.
 7        (2)  If the minor, his or her parent, guardian, or  legal
 8    custodian,  the  minor's attorney or State's Attorney objects
 9    in open court to any continuance and insists upon  proceeding
10    to findings and adjudication, the court shall so proceed.
11        (3)  Nothing  in  this  Section  limits  the power of the
12    court  to  order  a  continuance  of  the  hearing  for   the
13    production  of  additional  evidence  or for any other proper
14    reason.
15        (4)  When a hearing where a minor  is  alleged  to  be  a
16    delinquent  is continued pursuant to this Section, the period
17    of continuance under supervision may not  exceed  24  months.
18    The  court  may  terminate a continuance under supervision at
19    any time if warranted by the conduct of  the  minor  and  the
20    ends of justice.
21        (5)  When  a  hearing  where  a  minor  is  alleged to be
22    delinquent is continued pursuant to this Section,  the  court
23    may,  as  conditions  of  the  continuance under supervision,
24    require the minor to do any of the following:

22        manner and under  the  same  conditions  as  provided  in
23        subsection   (4)   of  Section  5-710,  except  that  the

31        purpose of the entry, the  time  of  day,  other  persons

33        probation officer;
34             (r)  refrain from having any  contact,  directly  or
 
                            -33-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1        indirectly,  with certain specified persons or particular
 2        types of persons, including but not limited to members of
 3        street gangs and drug users or dealers;
 4             (r-5)  undergo a medical or other procedure to  have

 7             (s)  refrain from having in  his  or  her  body  the
 8        presence  of  any illicit drug prohibited by the Cannabis
 9        Control Act or the Illinois  Controlled  Substances  Act,
10        unless  prescribed  by a physician, and submit samples of
11        his or her blood or urine or both for tests to  determine
12        the presence of any illicit drug;  or
13             (t)  comply  with  any  other  conditions  as may be
14        ordered by the court.
15        (6)  A minor whose case is  continued  under  supervision
16    under  subsection  (5)  shall  be given a certificate setting
17    forth the conditions imposed by the court.  Those  conditions
18    may  be reduced, enlarged, or modified by the court on motion
19    of the probation officer or on its own motion, or that of the
20    State's Attorney, or, at  the  request  of  the  minor  after
21    notice and hearing.
22        (7)  If  a  petition  is  filed charging a violation of a
23    condition of the continuance  under  supervision,  the  court
24    shall conduct a hearing.  If the court finds that a condition
25    of  supervision has not been fulfilled, the court may proceed
26    to findings and adjudication and disposition.  The filing  of
27    a  petition  for  violation of a condition of the continuance
28    under supervision shall toll the period of continuance  under
29    supervision  until the final determination of the charge, and
30    the term of the continuance under supervision shall  not  run
31    until  the  hearing  and  disposition  of  the  petition  for
32    violation;   provided where the petition alleges conduct that
33    does not constitute a criminal offense, the hearing  must  be
34    held  within  30  days of the filing of the petition unless a
 
                            -34-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    delay shall continue the tolling of the period of continuance
 2    under supervision for the period of the delay.
 3        (8)  When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to  be  a
 4    delinquent  for  reasons  that include a violation of Section
 5    21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 is continued  under  this
 6    Section,  the  court shall, as a condition of the continuance
 7    under supervision, require the  minor  to  perform  community
 8    service  for not less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if
 9    community service is  available  in  the  jurisdiction.   The
10    community  service shall include, but need not be limited to,
11    the cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused  by  the
12    alleged  violation  or  similar damage to property located in
13    the municipality or county in  which  the  alleged  violation
14    occurred.   The  condition  may  be  in addition to any other
15    condition.
16        (8.5)  When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to be a
17    delinquent for reasons that include a  violation  of  Section
18    3.02  or  Section  3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals Act or
19    paragraph (d) of  subsection  (1)  of  Section  21-1  of  the
20    Criminal  Code  of  1961 is continued under this Section, the
21    court  shall,  as  a  condition  of  the  continuance   under
22    supervision,   require   the  minor  to  undergo  medical  or
23    psychiatric  treatment  rendered   by   a   psychiatrist   or
24    psychological  treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
25    The condition may be in addition to any other condition.
26        (9)  When a hearing in which a minor is alleged to  be  a
27    delinquent is continued under this Section, the court, before
28    continuing the case, shall make a finding whether the offense
29    alleged to have been committed either:  (i) was related to or
30    in  furtherance of the activities of an organized gang or was
31    motivated by the minor's membership in or  allegiance  to  an
32    organized  gang,  or (ii) is a violation of paragraph (13) of
33    subsection (a) of Section 12-2 of the Criminal Code of  1961,
34    a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
 
                            -35-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    of  1961,  or  a  violation  of any statute that involved the
 2    unlawful use of a  firearm.   If  the  court  determines  the
 3    question  in  the affirmative the court shall, as a condition
 4    of the continuance under supervision and as  part  of  or  in
 5    addition  to  any other condition of the supervision, require
 6    the minor to perform community service for not less  than  30
 7    hours,  provided  that  community service is available in the
 8    jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the  county  board
 9    of the county where the offense was committed.  The community
10    service  shall  include,  but  need  not  be  limited to, the
11    cleanup and  repair  of  any  damage  caused  by  an  alleged
12    violation  of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and
13    similar damage to property located  in  the  municipality  or
14    county   in  which  the  alleged  violation  occurred.   When
15    possible and  reasonable,  the  community  service  shall  be
16    performed  in  the minor's neighborhood.  For the purposes of
17    this Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it
18    in Section 10 of the Illinois  Streetgang  Terrorism  Omnibus
19    Prevention Act.
20        (10)  The  court  shall  impose  upon  a  minor placed on
21    supervision, as a condition of the supervision, a fee of  $25
22    for  each  month  of supervision ordered by the court, unless
23    after determining  the  inability  of  the  minor  placed  on
24    supervision  to  pay  the  fee,  the  court assesses a lesser
25    amount.  The court may not impose the fee on a minor  who  is
26    made a ward of the State under this Act while the minor is in
27    placement.  The fee shall be imposed only upon a minor who is
28    actively  supervised  by  the  probation  and  court services
29    department.  A court may order the parent, guardian, or legal
30    custodian of the minor to pay some or all of the fee  on  the
31    minor's behalf.

 3        (1)  The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made
 4    in respect of wards of the court:
 5             (a)  Except  as  provided  in Sections 5-805, 5-810,
 6        5-815, a minor who is found guilty  under  Section  5-620
 7        may be:
 8                  (i)  put  on probation or conditional discharge
 9             and released to his  or  her  parents,  guardian  or
10             legal  custodian,  provided,  however, that any such
11             minor who is not  committed  to  the  Department  of
12             Corrections, Juvenile Division under this subsection
13             and  who  is found to be a delinquent for an offense
14             which is first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a
15             forcible felony shall be placed on probation;
16                  (ii)  placed in accordance with Section  5-740,
17             with  or  without  also  being  put  on probation or
18             conditional discharge;
19                  (iii)  required to undergo  a  substance  abuse
20             assessment  conducted  by  a  licensed  provider and
21             participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
22                  (iv)  placed  in  the   guardianship   of   the
23             Department of Children and Family Services, but only
24             if the delinquent minor is under 13 years of age;
25                  (v)  placed  in  detention  for a period not to
26             exceed 30 days, either as  the  exclusive  order  of
27             disposition  or,  where  appropriate, in conjunction
28             with any other order  of  disposition  issued  under
29             this  paragraph,  provided  that  any such detention
30             shall be in a juvenile detention home and the  minor
31             so  detained  shall  be  10  years  of age or older.
32             However, the 30-day limitation may  be  extended  by
33             further  order of the court for a minor under age 13
34             committed to the Department of Children  and  Family
 
                            -37-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1             Services  if  the  court  finds  that the minor is a
 2             danger to himself or others.   The  minor  shall  be
 3             given  credit  on  the sentencing order of detention
 4             for time spent in detention  under  Sections  5-501,
 5             5-601,  5-710,  or 5-720 of this Article as a result
 6             of the offense for which the  sentencing  order  was
 7             imposed.  The court may grant credit on a sentencing
 8             order of detention  entered  under  a  violation  of
 9             probation  or  violation  of  conditional  discharge
10             under  Section  5-720 of this Article for time spent
11             in detention  before  the  filing  of  the  petition
12             alleging  the  violation.   A  minor  shall  not  be
13             deprived  of  credit  for  time  spent  in detention
14             before the filing of a  violation  of  probation  or
15             conditional  discharge  alleging the same or related
16             act or acts;
17                  (vi)  ordered    partially    or     completely
18             emancipated in accordance with the provisions of the
19             Emancipation of Mature Minors Act;
20                  (vii)  subject  to  having  his or her driver's
21             license or driving  privileges  suspended  for  such
22             time as determined by the court but only until he or
23             she attains 18 years of age;
24                  (viii)  put   on   probation   or   conditional
25             discharge  and  placed  in  detention  under Section
26             3-6039 of the Counties Code  for  a  period  not  to
27             exceed  the period of incarceration permitted by law
28             for adults found  guilty  of  the  same  offense  or
29             offenses   for   which  the  minor  was  adjudicated
30             delinquent, and in any event  no  longer  than  upon
31             attainment   of  age  21;  this  subdivision  (viii)
32             notwithstanding any contrary provision of  the  law;
33             or
34                  (ix)  ordered  to  undergo  a  medical or other

 1             procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to
 2             a street gang removed from his or her body.
 3             (b)  A minor found to be guilty may be committed  to
 4        the  Department  of Corrections, Juvenile Division, under
 5        Section 5-750 if the minor is 13 years of age  or  older,
 6        provided   that  the  commitment  to  the  Department  of
 7        Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall be made only  if  a
 8        term  of  incarceration  is  permitted  by law for adults
 9        found guilty of the  offense  for  which  the  minor  was
10        adjudicated delinquent.  The time during which a minor is
11        in  custody  before  being released upon the request of a
12        parent, guardian or legal custodian shall  be  considered
13        as time spent in detention.
14             (c)  When  a  minor  is  found  to  be guilty for an
15        offense which is a violation of the  Illinois  Controlled
16        Substances  Act  or  the Cannabis Control Act  and made a
17        ward of the court, the  court  may  enter  a  disposition
18        order   requiring   the   minor  to  undergo  assessment,
19        counseling or treatment  in  a  substance  abuse  program
20        approved by the Department of Human Services.
21        (2)  Any  sentencing  order  other than commitment to the
22    Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide for
23    protective supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an
24    order of protection under Section 5-730.
25        (3)  Unless the sentencing order expressly  so  provides,
26    it  does  not  operate  to  close  proceedings on the pending
27    petition, but is subject to modification until final  closing
28    and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
29        (4)  In  addition  to  any  other sentence, the court may
30    order any minor found to be delinquent to  make  restitution,
31    in  monetary  or  non-monetary  form,  under  the  terms  and
32    conditions   of   Section   5-5-6  of  the  Unified  Code  of
33    Corrections, except that the "presentencing hearing" referred
34    to in that  Section  shall  be  the  sentencing  hearing  for
 
                            -39-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    purposes  of  this  Section.   The  parent, guardian or legal
 2    custodian of the minor may be ordered by  the  court  to  pay
 3    some  or  all  of  the  restitution  on  the  minor's behalf,
 4    pursuant to the Parental Responsibility  Law.    The  State's
 5    Attorney  is  authorized  to  act  on behalf of any victim in
 6    seeking restitution in proceedings under this Section, up  to
 7    the  maximum  amount  allowed  in  Section  5 of the Parental
 8    Responsibility Law.
 9        (5)  Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
10    placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
11    parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to  the
12    legal  custodian  or guardian of the person of the minor such
13    sums as are determined by the custodian or  guardian  of  the
14    person  of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs.  The
15    payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided  for  by
16    Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
17        (6)  Whenever  the sentencing order requires the minor to
18    attend school or participate in a program  of  training,  the
19    truant  officer or designated school official shall regularly
20    report to the court if the minor is  a  chronic  or  habitual
21    truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
22        (7)  In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
23    Department  of Corrections, Juvenile Division for a period of
24    time in excess of that period for which  an  adult  could  be
25    committed for the same act.
26        (8)  A  minor found to be guilty for reasons that include
27    a violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal  Code  of  1961
28    shall  be  ordered  to perform community service for not less
29    than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if community service  is
30    available  in  the jurisdiction.  The community service shall
31    include, but need not be limited to, the cleanup  and  repair
32    of  the  damage  that  was caused by the violation or similar
33    damage to property located in the municipality or  county  in
34    which  the  violation occurred.  The order may be in addition
 
                            -40-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    to any other order authorized by this Section.
 2        (8.5)  A minor  found  to  be  guilty  for  reasons  that
 3    include  a  violation  of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the
 4    Humane Care for Animals Act or paragraph  (d)  of  subsection
 5    (1)  of  Section  21-1  of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall be
 6    ordered to undergo medical or psychiatric treatment  rendered
 7    by  a  psychiatrist  or psychological treatment rendered by a
 8    clinical psychologist.  The order may be in addition  to  any
 9    other order authorized by this Section.
10        (9)  In addition to any other sentencing order, the court
11    shall  order  any  minor  found to be guilty for an act which
12    would constitute, predatory  criminal  sexual  assault  of  a
13    child,  aggravated  criminal  sexual assault, criminal sexual
14    assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual
15    abuse if committed by an adult to undergo medical testing  to
16    determine    whether   the   defendant   has   any   sexually
17    transmissible disease including a  test  for  infection  with
18    human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV) or any other identified
19    causative  agency  of  acquired   immunodeficiency   syndrome
20    (AIDS).    Any  medical  test  shall  be  performed  only  by
21    appropriately licensed medical practitioners and may  include
22    an analysis of any bodily fluids as well as an examination of
23    the  minor's person. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
24    results of the test shall be kept  strictly  confidential  by
25    all  medical  personnel  involved  in the testing and must be
26    personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of the
27    court in which the  sentencing  order  was  entered  for  the
28    judge's  inspection in camera.  Acting in accordance with the
29    best interests of the victim and the public, the judge  shall
30    have  the  discretion to determine to whom the results of the
31    testing may be revealed.  The court shall notify the minor of
32    the  results  of  the  test  for  infection  with  the  human
33    immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  The court  shall  also  notify
34    the  victim  if requested by the victim, and if the victim is
 
                            -41-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's  parents
 2    or  legal  guardian,  the  court  shall  notify  the victim's
 3    parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for
 4    infection with the human immunodeficiency virus  (HIV).   The
 5    court  shall  provide  information on the availability of HIV
 6    testing and counseling at the  Department  of  Public  Health
 7    facilities  to all parties to whom the results of the testing
 8    are revealed.  The court shall order that  the  cost  of  any
 9    test  shall  be  paid by the county and may be taxed as costs
10    against the minor.
11        (10)  When a court finds a minor to be guilty  the  court
12    shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
13    make a finding whether the offense committed either:  (a) was
14    related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
15    organized  gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
16    or allegiance  to  an  organized  gang,  or  (b)  involved  a
17    violation of subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal
18    Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
19    Criminal  Code  of  1961,  or a violation of any statute that
20    involved the  wrongful  use  of  a  firearm.   If  the  court
21    determines  the  question  in  the affirmative, and the court
22    does not commit the minor to the Department  of  Corrections,
23    Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
24    community  service  for  not less than 30 hours nor more than
25    120 hours, provided that community service  is  available  in
26    the  jurisdiction  and  is  funded and approved by the county
27    board of the county where the  offense  was  committed.   The
28    community  service shall include, but need not be limited to,
29    the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
30    Section 21-1.3 of the  Criminal  Code  of  1961  and  similar
31    damage  to  property located in the municipality or county in
32    which the violation occurred.  When possible and  reasonable,
33    the  community  service  shall  be  performed  in the minor's
34    neighborhood.  This order shall be in addition to  any  other
 
                            -42-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
 2    the  minor  in  the custody of the Department of Corrections,
 3    Juvenile  Division.   For  the  purposes  of  this   Section,
 4    "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10
 5    of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

 7        (705 ILCS 405/5-715)
 8        Sec. 5-715.  Probation.
 9        (1)  The  period  of  probation  or conditional discharge
10    shall not exceed 5 years or until the minor has attained  the
11    age  of  21  years,  whichever is less, except as provided in
12    this Section for a minor who is found to  be  guilty  for  an
13    offense  which  is first degree murder, a Class X felony or a
14    forcible felony.  The juvenile court may terminate  probation
15    or  conditional discharge and discharge the minor at any time
16    if warranted by the conduct of the  minor  and  the  ends  of
17    justice;  provided, however, that the period of probation for
18    a  minor  who  is  found to be guilty for an offense which is
19    first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a  forcible  felony
20    shall be at least 5 years.
21        (2)  The  court  may  as  a  condition of probation or of
22    conditional discharge require that the minor:
23             (a)  not  violate  any  criminal  statute   of   any
24        jurisdiction;

32        services   rendered  by  a  clinical  social  worker,  or
33        treatment for drug addiction or alcoholism;
 
                            -43-           LRB9208026ARsbam03

13        (4) of Section 5-710;
14             (m)  contribute to his or her own support at home or
15        in a foster home;
16             (n)  perform  some  reasonable  public  or community
17        service;

22             (p)  pay costs;
23             (q)  serve a term of home confinement.  In  addition

                            -44-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1                  (iii)  use  an  approved  electronic monitoring

 8        accompanying  the  minor,  and  advance  approval  by   a
 9        probation  officer,  if  the  minor  has  been  placed on

11        has been placed on conditional discharge;
12             (s)  refrain from having any  contact,  directly  or

20        presence  of  any illicit drug prohibited by the Cannabis
21        Control Act or the Illinois  Controlled  Substances  Act,
22        unless  prescribed  by  a  physician,  and  shall  submit
23        samples of his or her blood or urine or both for tests to
24        determine the presence of any illicit drug; or
25             (u)  comply  with other conditions as may be ordered
26        by the court.
27        (3)  The court may as a  condition  of  probation  or  of
28    conditional  discharge  require  that a minor found guilty on
29    any alcohol, cannabis,  or  controlled  substance  violation,
30    refrain  from  acquiring a driver's license during the period
31    of probation or conditional discharge.  If the  minor  is  in
32    possession of a permit or license, the court may require that
33    the minor refrain from driving or operating any motor vehicle
34    during  the  period  of  probation  or conditional discharge,
 
                            -45-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    except as may be necessary  in  the  course  of  the  minor's
 2    lawful employment.
 3        (3.5)  The court shall, as a condition of probation or of
 4    conditional  discharge,  require  that  a  minor  found to be
 5    guilty and placed on probation for  reasons  that  include  a
 6    violation  of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care
 7    for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of Section
 8    21-1  of  the  Criminal  Code  of  1961  undergo  medical  or
 9    psychiatric  treatment  rendered   by   a   psychiatrist   or
10    psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
11    The condition may be in addition to any other condition.
12        (4)  A  minor on probation or conditional discharge shall
13    be given a certificate  setting  forth  the  conditions  upon
14    which he or she is being released.
15        (5)  The  court  shall  impose  upon  a  minor  placed on
16    probation or conditional discharge, as  a  condition  of  the
17    probation  or  conditional  discharge,  a fee of $25 for each
18    month  of  probation  or  conditional  discharge  supervision
19    ordered by the court, unless after determining the  inability
20    of  the minor placed on probation or conditional discharge to
21    pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser amount.   The  court
22    may  not  impose the fee on a minor who is made a ward of the
23    State under this Act while the minor is  in  placement.   The
24    fee  shall  be  imposed  only  upon  a  minor who is actively
25    supervised by the probation and  court  services  department.
26    The  court may order the parent, guardian, or legal custodian
27    of the minor to pay some or all of the  fee  on  the  minor's
28    behalf.
29        (6)  The  General Assembly finds that in order to protect
30    the  public,  the  juvenile  justice   system   must   compel
31    compliance  with the conditions of probation by responding to
32    violations with swift,  certain,  and  fair  punishments  and
33    intermediate  sanctions.   The  Chief  Judge  of each circuit
34    shall adopt a system of  structured,  intermediate  sanctions
 
                            -46-           LRB9208026ARsbam03
 1    for  violations  of the terms and conditions of a sentence of
 2    supervision, probation or conditional discharge,  under  this
 3    Act.
 4        The  court  shall provide as a condition of a disposition
 5    of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
 6    probation agency may invoke any sanction  from  the  list  of
 7    intermediate  sanctions  adopted  by  the  chief judge of the
 8    circuit court for violations of the terms and  conditions  of
 9    the   sentence   of   probation,  conditional  discharge,  or
10    supervision, subject to the provisions of  Section  5-720  of
11    this Act.

13        Section  20.  The  Criminal  Code  of  1961 is amended by
14    changing Section 21-1 as follows:

15        (720 ILCS 5/21-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 21-1)
16        Sec. 21-1.  Criminal damage to property.
17        (1)  A person commits an illegal act when he:

 4        When  the charge of criminal damage to property exceeding
 5    a specified value is brought, the extent of the damage is  an
 6    element of the offense to be resolved by the trier of fact as
 7    either exceeding or not exceeding the specified value.

13    occurs to property of a school or place of worship.  The  act
14    described  in  item  (d) is a Class 4 felony if the damage to
15    property does not exceed $10,000.  The act described in  item
16    (g)  is  a  Class 4 felony.  The acts described in items (a),

22    or place of worship.  The acts described in items (a) through
23    (f)  are  Class  3 felonies if the damage to property exceeds
24    $10,000 but does not exceed $100,000.  The acts described  in
