    AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
changing Section 5-401.5 as follows:
 
    (705 ILCS 405/5-401.5)
    Sec. 5-401.5. When statements by minor may be used.
    (a) In this Section, "custodial interrogation" means any
interrogation (i) during which a reasonable person in the
subject's position would consider himself or herself to be in
custody and (ii) during which a question is asked that is
reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response.
    In this Section, "electronic recording" includes motion
picture, audiotape, videotape, or digital recording.
    In this Section, "place of detention" means a building or a
police station that is a place of operation for a municipal
police department or county sheriff department or other law
enforcement agency at which persons are or may be held in
detention in connection with criminal charges against those
persons or allegations that those persons are delinquent
minors.
    (b) An oral, written, or sign language statement of a minor
who, at the time of the commission of the offense was under the
age of 17 years, made as a result of a custodial interrogation
conducted at a police station or other place of detention on or
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
General Assembly shall be presumed to be inadmissible as
evidence against the minor in any criminal proceeding or
juvenile court proceeding, for an act that if committed by an
adult would be brought under Section 9-1, 9-1.2, 9-2, 9-2.1,
9-3, 9-3.2, or 9-3.3, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, or under clause (d)(1)(F) of Section
11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code unless:
        (1) an electronic recording is made of the custodial
    interrogation; and
        (2) the recording is substantially accurate and not
    intentionally altered.
    (b-5) Under the following circumstances, an oral, written,
or sign language statement of a minor who, at the time of the
commission of the offense was under the age of 17 years, made
as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a police
station or other place of detention shall be presumed to be
inadmissible as evidence against the minor, unless an
electronic recording is made of the custodial interrogation and
the recording is substantially accurate and not intentionally
altered:
        (1) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court
    proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would
    be brought under Section 11-1.40 or 20-1.1 of the Criminal
    Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, if the custodial
    interrogation was conducted on or after June 1, 2014;
        (2) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court
    proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would
    be brought under Section 10-2, 18-4, or 19-6 of the
    Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, if the
    custodial interrogation was conducted on or after June 1,
    2015; and
        (3) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court
    proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would
    be brought under Section 11-1.30 or 18-2 or subsection (e)
    of Section 12-3.05 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
    Criminal Code of 2012, if the custodial interrogation was
    conducted on or after June 1, 2016.
    (b-10) If, during the course of an electronically recorded
custodial interrogation conducted under this Section of a minor
who, at the time of the commission of the offense was under the
age of 17 years, the minor makes a statement that creates a
reasonable suspicion to believe the minor has committed an act
that if committed by an adult would be an offense other than an
offense required to be recorded under subsection (b) or (b-5),
the interrogators may, without the minor's consent, continue to
record the interrogation as it relates to the other offense
notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary. Any oral,
written, or sign language statement of a minor made as a result
of an interrogation under this subsection shall be presumed to
be inadmissible as evidence against the minor in any criminal
proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, unless the recording
is substantially accurate and not intentionally altered.
    (c) Every electronic recording made required under this
Section must be preserved until such time as the minor's
adjudication for any offense relating to the statement is final
and all direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted, or the
prosecution of such offenses is barred by law.
    (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence,
that the minor was subjected to a custodial interrogation in
violation of this Section, then any statements made by the
minor during or following that non-recorded custodial
interrogation, even if otherwise in compliance with this
Section, are presumed to be inadmissible in any criminal
proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor
except for the purposes of impeachment.
    (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of
a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal
proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, before a grand jury,
or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement made during a
custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by
this Section because electronic recording was not feasible,
(iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or not the result of a
custodial interrogation, that has a bearing on the credibility
of the accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement
that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
made after questioning that is routinely asked during the
processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is not
made of the statement, provided that an electronic recording is
made of the statement of agreeing to respond to the
interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the
statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when
the interrogators are unaware that a death has in fact
occurred, (ix) of a statement given in violation of subsection
(b-5) at a time when the interrogators are unaware of facts and
circumstances that would create probable cause to believe that
the minor committed an act that if committed by an adult would
be an offense required to be recorded under subsection (b-5),
or (x) or (ix) of any other statement that may be admissible
under law. The State shall bear the burden of proving, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that one of the exceptions
described in this subsection (e) is applicable. Nothing in this
Section precludes the admission of a statement, otherwise
inadmissible under this Section, that is used only for
impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made
by a suspect at a custodial interrogation at a police station
or other place of detention may be overcome by a preponderance
of the evidence that the statement was voluntarily given and is
reliable, based on the totality of the circumstances.
    (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a
minor during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by any
law enforcement agency as required by this Section for the
purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall
be confidential and exempt from public inspection and copying,
as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act,
and the information shall not be transmitted to anyone except
as needed to comply with this Section.
    (h) A statement, admission, confession, or incriminating
information made by or obtained from a minor related to the
instant offense, as part of any behavioral health screening,
assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not
court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the
minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court
proceeding. The provisions of this subsection (h) are in
addition to and do not override any existing statutory and
constitutional prohibition on the admission into evidence in
delinquency proceedings of information obtained during
screening, assessment, or treatment.
