    AN ACT concerning courts.
 
    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 5-410 as follows:
 
    (705 ILCS 405/5-410)
    Sec. 5-410. Non-secure custody or detention.
    (1) Any minor arrested or taken into custody pursuant to
this Act who requires care away from his or her home but who
does not require physical restriction shall be given temporary
care in a foster family home or other shelter facility
designated by the court.
    (2) (a) Any minor 10 years of age or older arrested
pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe
that the minor is a delinquent minor and that (i) secured
custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
protection of the minor or of the person or property of
another, (ii) the minor is likely to flee the jurisdiction of
the court, or (iii) the minor was taken into custody under a
warrant, may be kept or detained in an authorized detention
facility. A minor under 13 years of age shall not be admitted,
kept, or detained in a detention facility unless a local youth
service provider, including a provider through the
Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services network, has been
contacted and has not been able to accept the minor. No minor
under 12 years of age shall be detained in a county jail or a
municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
    (b) The written authorization of the probation officer or
detention officer (or other public officer designated by the
court in a county having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants)
constitutes authority for the superintendent of any juvenile
detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court-designated holidays.
These records shall be available to the same persons and
pursuant to the same conditions as are law enforcement records
as provided in Section 5-905.
    (b-4) The consultation required by subsection (b-5) shall
not be applicable if the probation officer or detention officer
(or other public officer designated by the court in a county
having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) utilizes a scorable
detention screening instrument, which has been developed with
input by the State's Attorney, to determine whether a minor
should be detained, however, subsection (b-5) shall still be
applicable where no such screening instrument is used or where
the probation officer, detention officer (or other public
officer designated by the court in a county having 3,000,000 or
more inhabitants) deviates from the screening instrument.
    (b-5) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b-4), if a
probation officer or detention officer (or other public officer
designated by the court in a county having 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants) does not intend to detain a minor for an offense
which constitutes one of the following offenses he or she shall
consult with the State's Attorney's Office prior to the release
of the minor: first degree murder, second degree murder,
involuntary manslaughter, criminal sexual assault, aggravated
criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery with a firearm as
described in Section 12-4.2 or subdivision (e)(1), (e)(2),
(e)(3), or (e)(4) of Section 12-3.05, aggravated or heinous
battery involving permanent disability or disfigurement or
great bodily harm, robbery, aggravated robbery, armed robbery,
vehicular hijacking, aggravated vehicular hijacking, vehicular
invasion, arson, aggravated arson, kidnapping, aggravated
kidnapping, home invasion, burglary, or residential burglary.
    (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or
(e), no minor shall be detained in a county jail or municipal
lockup for more than 12 hours, unless the offense is a crime of
violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
        (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
    once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
    handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
    county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
    minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
    custody.
        (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
    remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
        (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or
    lockup, the minor shall be informed of the purpose of the
    detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact
    that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
        (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
    circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of
    time the minor was in detention.
        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
    itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
    of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 years
    of age shall be kept separate from confined adults and may
    not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard with
    adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 years
    of age and older who have a petition of delinquency filed
    against them may be confined in an adult detention
    facility. In making a determination whether to confine a
    person 18 years of age or older who has a petition of
    delinquency filed against the person, these factors, among
    other matters, shall be considered:
            (A) The age of the person;
            (B) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of
        the person;
            (C) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the
        person; and
            (D) Any mental health or educational history of the
        person, or both.
    (d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in a
county jail in a county with a population below 3,000,000
inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall be implemented
in such a manner that there will be no contact by sight, sound
or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court
designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time
period, county jails shall comply with all monitoring standards
adopted by the Department of Corrections and training standards
approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards
Board.
    (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this
subsection (2) of this Section but not exceeding 7 days
including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays pending an
adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all
temporary detention standards adopted by the Department of
Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board.
    (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,
after the time period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and
(d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of this Section, county jails
shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards
adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
    (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court may
enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in the
county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
and adult prisoners.
    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
    (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
taken to a County Jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or
correctional officer. During such time as is necessary to
process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement
officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound separation
provisions shall not apply.
    (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such
other public officer designated by the court in a county having
3,000,000 or more inhabitants) determines that the minor may be
a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3) of Section
5-105, and should be retained in custody but does not require
physical restriction, the minor may be placed in non-secure
custody for up to 40 hours pending a detention hearing.
    (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring
secure detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his
or her parent or guardian subject to such conditions as the
court may impose.
    (5) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61
apply to a minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on
or after January 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
98-61).
