| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Department of Human Services Act is amended | ||||
by changing Section 1-60 as follows: | ||||
(20 ILCS 1305/1-60) | ||||
Sec. 1-60. Pilot study. The Department of Human Services | ||||
shall prepare 2 reports on the impact of the provisions of | ||||
subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal | ||||
Procedure of 1963. A preliminary report shall be prepared and | ||||
submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by November | ||||
1, 2012. A final report shall be prepared and submitted to the | ||||
Governor and the General Assembly by October 1, 2013. The | ||||
Department of Human Services shall prepare a report on the | ||||
impact, after January 1, 2014, of the provisions of subsection | ||||
(c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||
1963. The report shall be prepared and submitted to the | ||||
Governor and the General Assembly on or before January 2, 2016. | ||||
Each report shall be posted on the Department's website within | ||||
a week of its submission. Each report shall discuss the number | ||||
of admissions during the reporting period, any delay in | ||||
admissions, the number of persons returned to the county under | ||||
the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code | ||||
of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any issues the county | ||
sheriffs or other county officials are having with the returns. | ||
Each report shall include a recommendation from the Department | ||
of Human Services and one from an association representing | ||
Illinois sheriffs whether to continue the pilot study. If | ||
either report indicates that there are serious deleterious | ||
effects from the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 | ||
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or that the | ||
provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of | ||
Criminal Procedure of 1963 are not producing adequate results, | ||
the General Assembly may take necessary steps to eliminate the | ||
provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of | ||
Criminal Procedure of 1963 prior to January 1, 2014.
