16disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract or
17the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less, and
18the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
19bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
20shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated
21during 2 consecutive fiscal years. The requirements of this
22Section concerning advance disbursements shall not apply with
23respect to the following: payments to local public agencies for
24child day care services as authorized by Section 5a of this
25Act; and youth service programs receiving grant funds under
26Section 17a-4.

1Abuse, for the purpose of identifying children and adults who
2should be referred for an assessment at an organization
3appropriately licensed by the Department of Human Services for
4substance use disorder treatment to an alcohol and drug abuse
5treatment program for professional evaluation.
6    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
7program or facility within or available to the Department for a
8youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
9adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
10youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
11individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
12The plan may be developed within the Department or through
13purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
14within its statutory authority to do.
15    (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
16State and shall include but not be limited to the following
17services:

25to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
26        (1) comprehensive family-based services;

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 115 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1        (2) assessments;
2        (3) respite care; and
3        (4) in-home health services.
4    The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
5services it makes available to children or families or for
6which it refers children or families.
7    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
8assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
9establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
10grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
11disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
12children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
13in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
14assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
15available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
16dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
17been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
18died. The Department may continue to provide financial
19assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
20determined eligible for financial assistance under this
21subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
22adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
23new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
24parents. The Department may also provide categories of
25financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
26shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 116 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
2Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
34-25 or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
4who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
5appointment of the guardian.
6    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
7of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
8annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
9allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
10may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
11the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
12of the child.
13    Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
14inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
15garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
16a judgment or debt.
17    (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement

26services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 117 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
2extended families. Family preservation services shall be
3offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
4care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
5custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
6(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
7maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
8shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
9children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
10in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
11family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
12other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
13subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set.
14Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
15private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
16or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
17subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
18of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
19facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
20hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
21of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
22out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
23reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
24    The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
25Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
26preservation services as identified in the service plan. The

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 118 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
2the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
3offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
4report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
5prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
6Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
7or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
8considered in the investigation. The Department may also
9provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
10any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
11such child or family to services available from other agencies
12in the community, even if the report is determined to be
13unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
14are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
15reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
16services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
17services to any child or family after completion of a family
18assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
19under the "differential response program" provided for in
20subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
21Child Reporting Act.
22    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
23children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
24care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
25as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
26requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 119 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
2be committed to the Department by any court without the
3approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
4effective date of Public Act 98-803) this amendatory Act of the
598th General Assembly and before January 1, 2017, a minor
6charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
7or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall
8not be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department
9by any court, except (i) a minor less than 16 years of age
10committed to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile
11Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an independent basis
12of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined
13by departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
14granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
15to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
161987. On and after January 1, 2017, a minor charged with a
17criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
18Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be
19placed in the custody of or committed to the Department by any
20court, except (i) a minor less than 15 years of age committed
21to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act
22of 1987, ii) a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse,
23neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined by
24departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
25granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
26to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 120 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

11987. An independent basis exists when the allegations or
2adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from
3the same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise to a
4charge or adjudication of delinquency. The Department shall
5assign a caseworker to attend any hearing involving a youth in
6the care and custody of the Department who is placed on
7aftercare release, including hearings involving sanctions for
8violation of aftercare release conditions and aftercare
9release revocation hearings.
10    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
11date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
12implement a special program of family preservation services to
13support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
14experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
15of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
16developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
17services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
18child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
19or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
20Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
21family to services available from other agencies in the
22community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
23reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
24reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
25these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
26and implement a public information campaign to alert health and

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 121 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1social service providers and the general public about these
2special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
3the services offered and the number of families served under
4the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
5determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
6allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
7disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
8including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
9as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
10Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
11Psychiatric Association.
12    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
13the child require that the child be placed in the most
14permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
15possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
16Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
17concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
18earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
19include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
20the family when the child can be cared for at home without
21endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
22the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
23is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
24permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
25    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
26to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 122 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
2paramount concern.
3    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
4ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
5prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
6child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
7reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
8unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
9of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
10Department believes that further reunification services would
11be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
12reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
13not required to provide further reunification services after
14such a finding.
15    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
16made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
17best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
18also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
19placement made is the best available placement to provide
20permanency for the child.
21    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
22planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
23shall consider the following factors when determining
24appropriateness of concurrent planning:
25        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
26        (2) the past history of the family;

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 123 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
2    the family;
3        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
4        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
5    family to reunite;
6        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
7    provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
8        (7) the age of the child;
9        (8) placement of siblings.
10    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
11child if:
12        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
13    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
14    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
15    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
16    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
17        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
18    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
19If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
20guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
21may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
22custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
23in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
24custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
25apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
26resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 124 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
2health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
3parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
4such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
5resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
6home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
7follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
85-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
9    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
10and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
11pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
12Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
13pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
14Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
15under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
16custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
17and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
18required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
19Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
20and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
21subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
221987.
23    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
24custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
25examination.
26    A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 125 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
2if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
3deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
4surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
5may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
6receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
7cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
8of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain
9temporary custody of the child until the court orders
10otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day 10 day
11period, the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
12requesting parent, guardian or custodian not later than the
13expiration of the 10-day 10 day period, at which time the
14authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
15temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
16    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
17age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
18that cares for children who are in need of secure living
19arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
20determination is made by the facility director and the Director
21or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
22subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
23This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
24to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
25Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
26child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 126 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
2facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
3placement of the child in a secure care facility.
4    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
5in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
6Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
7have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
8safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
9best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
10supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
11facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
12guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
13Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
14payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
15in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
16training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
17average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
18child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
19operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
20payments does not apply in cases where children require
21specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
22disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
23combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
24of such children are not available at payment rates within the
25limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
26services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 127 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
2    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
3welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
4sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
5minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
6subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
71987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
8provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
9yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
10responsibility for the development and delivery of services
11under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
12this Section through the Department of Children and Family
13Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
14Youth participating in services under this Section shall
15cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
16agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
17youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
18homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
19youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
20Department shall continue child welfare services under this
21Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
22of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
23self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
24Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
25readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
26welfare services under this Section and how such services may

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 128 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
2the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
3information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
4describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
5sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
6    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
7review and appeal process for children and families who request
8or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
9care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
10foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
11afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
12families in the case of placement by the Department, including
13the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
14that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
15welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
16affords those rights to children and foster families. The
17Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
18hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
19concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
20child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
21alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
22appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
23child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
24determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
25and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
261987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 129 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
2involving a change of placement decision.
3    (p) (Blank).
4    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
5for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of
6money or other property which is received on behalf of such
7children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
8or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
9the Department.
10    The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
11interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
12institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
13responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
14Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
15the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
16payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
17payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
18payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
19the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
20subsection.
21    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
22Department shall:
23        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
24    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
25    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
26    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 130 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1    approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
2    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
3    records of all disbursements for each account for any
4    purpose.
5        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
6    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
7    not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
8    utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
9    regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
10    disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
11    $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the

13parent or other grantee relative persistently mismanages the
14grant to the detriment of the child and the family but there is
15reason to believe that, with specialized counseling and
16guidance services, the parent or relative may develop ability

12or substance abuse, mental health services, or other special
13care or treatment.

15rules and regulations of the Illinois Department, for
16unsatisfactory service. The removal may be effected without
17hearing. The decision shall not be appealable to the Illinois
18Department nor shall it be reviewable in the courts.
19    The County Department shall conduct periodic reviews as may
20be required by the Illinois Department to determine whether
21there is a continuing need for a protective payment. If it
22appears that the need for the payment is likely to continue
23beyond a reasonable period, the County Department shall take
24one of the other actions set out in Section 4-8.
25    The parent or other relative shall be advised, in advance
26of a determination to make a protective payment, that he may

SB2834 Engrossed- 290 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1shall:
2        (1) contain an employment goal of the participant;
3        (2) describe the services to be provided by the
4    Department, including child care and other support
5    services;
6        (3) describe the activities, such as component
7    assignment, that will be undertaken by the participant to
8    achieve the employment goal. The Department shall treat
9    participation in high school and high school equivalency
10    programs as a core activity and count participation in high
11    school and high school equivalency programs toward the
12    first 20 hours per week of participation. The Department
13    shall approve participation in high school or high school
14    equivalency programs upon written or oral request of the
15    participant if he or she has not already earned a high

17    However, participation in high school or high school
18    equivalency programs may be delayed as part of an
19    applicant's or recipient's personal plan for achieving
20    employment and self-sufficiency if it is determined that
21    the benefit from participating in another activity, such
22    as, but not limited to, treatment for a substance use
23    disorder substance abuse or an English proficiency
24    program, would be greater to the applicant or recipient
25    than participation in high school or a high school
26    equivalency program. The availability of high school and

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 291 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1    high school equivalency programs may also delay enrollment
2    in those programs. The Department shall treat such
3    activities as a core activity as long as satisfactory
4    progress is made, as determined by the high school or high
5    school equivalency program. Proof of satisfactory progress
6    shall be provided by the participant or the school at the
7    end of each academic term; and
8        (4) describe any other needs of the family that might
9    be met by the Department.
10    (g) The employability plan shall take into account:
11        (1) available program resources;
12        (2) the participant's support service needs;
13        (3) the participant's skills level and aptitudes;
14        (4) local employment opportunities; and
15        (5) the preferences of the participant.
16    (h) A reassessment shall be conducted to assess a
17participant's progress and to review the employability plan on
18the following occasions:
19        (1) upon completion of an activity and before
20    assignment to an activity;
21        (2) upon the request of the participant;
22        (3) if the individual is not cooperating with the
23    requirements of the program; and
24        (4) if the individual has failed to make satisfactory
25    progress in an education or training program.
26    Based on the reassessment, the Department may revise the

1    to preserve the availability of property described in
2    subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article:
3            (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information,
4        or complaint charging a violation of this Article for
5        which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and
6        alleging that the property with respect to which the
7        order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under
8        this Article; or
9            (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment,
10        information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
11        appearing to have an interest in the property and
12        opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
13                (i) there is probable cause to believe that the
14            State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
15            that failure to enter the order will result in the
16            property being destroyed, removed from the
17            jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
18            unavailable for forfeiture; and
19                (ii) the need to preserve the availability of
20            the property through the entry of the requested

24        to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more
25        than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
26        cause shown or unless an indictment, information,

4    without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an
5    indictment, information, complaint, or administrative
6    notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property,
7    if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to
8    believe that the property with respect to which the order
9    is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section
10    and that provision of notice will jeopardize the
11    availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a
12    temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after
13    the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good
14    cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
15    consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing
16    requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph
17    shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to
18    the expiration of the temporary order.

7    cause, the court shall order the interest in the property
8    returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all
9    other property forfeited to the State. If the State does
10    show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all
11    property forfeited to the State.
12        (9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is
13    precluded from later denying the essential allegations of
14    the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted
15    in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the
16    pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However,
17    evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible.
18        (10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding
19    does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article;
20    however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's
21    Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings
22    during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment
23    or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such
24    a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property
25    subject to forfeiture under this Article shall not be
26    subject to return or release by a court exercising

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 361 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1    jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of
2    such property unless such return or release is consented to
3    by the State's Attorney.
4        (11) All property declared forfeited under this
5    Article vests in this State on the commission of the
6    conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the
7    proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property
8    or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain
9    subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered
10    forfeited.
11        (12) A civil action under this Article must be
12    commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise
13    to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5
14    years after the forfeitable property is discovered,
15    whichever is later, excluding any time during which either
16    the property or claimant is out of the State or in
17    confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating
18    to the same conduct are in progress.
19    (m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for
20evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting
21judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not
22begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence.
23    (n) Settlement of claims. Notwithstanding other provisions
24of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized
25property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning
26the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 362 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1are set out in writing in a settlement agreement.
2    (o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this
3Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona
4fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered
5or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal
6proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was
7paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure
8warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and
9where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property
10did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under
11this Article.
12    (p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly
13that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally
14construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The
15forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be
16considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any
17sentence or other remedy provided by law.
18    (q) Judicial review. If property has been declared
19forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who
20has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within
2130 days after the effective date of the notice of the
22declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as
23described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section.
24If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the
25procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply.
26    (r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 363 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in
2this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other
3pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under
4this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception
5is upon the person claiming it.
6    (s) Review of administrative decisions. All administrative
7findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and
8conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article
9are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any
10person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the
11decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative
12Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending
13final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders,
14and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full
15force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court
16pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such
17review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's
18Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order
19of court. However, no stay of any decision of the
20administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved
21by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
22that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause,
23the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a
24substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that
25granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the
26general public.

22    (e) Duty to enforce this Article.
23        (1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police,
24    and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all
25    provisions of this Article, except those specifically
26    delegated, and to cooperate with all agencies charged with

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 371 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1    the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or of any
2    state, relating to money laundering. Only an agent,
3    officer, or investigator designated by the Director may be
4    authorized in accordance with this Section to serve seizure
5    notices, warrants, subpoenas, and summonses under the
6    authority of this State.
7        (2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer
8    designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of
9    property pursuant to the provisions of this Article; and

15    (f) Protective orders.
16        (1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter
17    a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of
18    a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action
19    to preserve the availability of property described in

21            (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information,
22        or complaint charging a violation of this Article for
23        which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and
24        alleging that the property with respect to which the
25        order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under
26        this Article; or

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 372 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1            (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment,
2        information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
3        appearing to have an interest in the property and
4        opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
5                (i) there is probable cause to believe that the
6            State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
7            that failure to enter the order will result in the
8            property being destroyed, removed from the
9            jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
10            unavailable for forfeiture; and
11                (ii) the need to preserve the availability of
12            the property through the entry of the requested
13            order outweighs the hardship on any party against
14            whom the order is to be entered.
15            Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant
16        to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more
17        than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
18        cause shown or unless an indictment, information,
19        complaint, or administrative notice has been filed.
20        (2) A temporary restraining order under this
21    subsection may be entered upon application of the State
22    without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an
23    indictment, information, complaint, or administrative
24    notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property,
25    if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to
26    believe that the property with respect to which the order

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 373 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1    is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section
2    and that provision of notice will jeopardize the
3    availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a
4    temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after
5    the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good
6    cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
7    consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing
8    requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph
9    shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to
10    the expiration of the temporary order.
11        (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing
12    held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and

14    rules of evidence.
15        (4) Order to repatriate and deposit.
16            (A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter
17        a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the

19        that may be seized and forfeited and to deposit that
20        property pending trial with the Illinois State Police
21        or another law enforcement agency designated by the
22        Illinois State Police.
23            (B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an
24        order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a
25        civil or criminal contempt of court.
26    (g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 374 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in
2subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search
3warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause

5forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the
6seizure of such property.
7    (h) Forfeiture.
8        (1) The following are subject to forfeiture:
9            (A) any property, real or personal, constituting,
10        derived from, or traceable to any proceeds the person

1            person in charge of the conveyance is a consenting
2            party or privy to a violation of this Article;
3                (ii) no conveyance is subject to forfeiture
4            under this Section by reason of any act or omission
5            which the owner proves to have been committed or

8            by a bona fide security interest is subject to the

15        by posting notice of pending forfeiture on it, by
16        giving notice of pending forfeiture to its owners and
17        interest holders, or by filing notice of pending
18        forfeiture in any appropriate public record relating

21        including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to
22        take custody of the property upon the terms and
23        conditions set by the Director.
24        (5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the

8    the State makes such a showing, the claimant shall have the
9    burden of production to set forth evidence that the
10    property is not related to the alleged factual basis of the
11    forfeiture. After this production of evidence, the State
12    shall maintain the burden of proof to overcome this

1        have known that the conduct giving rise to the
2        forfeiture was likely to occur;
3            (iv) that the claimant held the property for the
4        benefit of, or as nominee for, any person whose conduct
5        gave rise to its forfeiture;
6            (v) that if the claimant acquired their interest
7        through any person engaging in any of the conduct
8        described above or conduct giving rise to the
9        forfeiture;
10                (1) the claimant did not acquire it as a bona
11            fide purchaser for value; or
12                (2) the claimant acquired the interest under
13            the circumstances that they reasonably should have
14            known the property was derived from, or used in,
15            the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture; or
16            (vii) that the claimant is not the true owner of
17        the property that is subject to forfeiture.

6    civil forfeiture proceedings during the criminal trial for
7    a related criminal indictment or information alleging a
8    money laundering violation. Such a stay shall not be
9    available pending an appeal. Property subject to
10    forfeiture under this Article shall not be subject to
11    return or release by a court exercising jurisdiction over a
12    criminal case involving the seizure of such property unless
13    such return or release is consented to by the State's
14    Attorney.
15        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
16    the State's burden of proof at the trial of the forfeiture
17    action shall be by clear and convincing evidence if: (1) a
18    finding of not guilty is entered as to all counts and all
19    defendants in a criminal proceeding relating to the conduct
20    giving rise to the forfeiture action; or (2) the State
21    receives an adverse finding at a preliminary hearing and
22    fails to secure an indictment in a criminal proceeding
23    relating to the factual allegations of the forfeiture
24    action.
25        (11) All property declared forfeited under this
26    Article vests in this State on the commission of the

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 395 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

2    proceeds of the property after that time. Except as
3    otherwise provided in this Article, title to any such
4    property or proceeds subsequently transferred to any
5    person remain subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be
6    ordered forfeited unless the person to whom the property
7    was transferred makes an appropriate claim and has his or
8    her claim adjudicated at the judicial in rem hearing.
9        (12) A civil action under this Article must be

11    to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5
12    years after the forfeitable property is discovered,

4Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona
5fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered
6or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal
7proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was
8paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure
9warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and
10where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property
11did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under
12this Article.
13    (p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly
14that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally
15construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The
16forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be

2    (s) Review of administrative decisions. All administrative
3findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and
4conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article
5are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any
6person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the
7decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative
8Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending
9final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders,
10and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full
11force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court
12pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such
13review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's
14Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order
15of court. However, no stay of any decision of the
16administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved
17by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
18that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause,
19the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a
20substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that
21granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the
22general public.
23    (t) Actual physical seizure of real property subject to
24forfeiture under this Act requires the issuance of a seizure
25warrant. Nothing in this Section prohibits the constructive

8whole or in part if the court finds that the forfeiture would
9constitute an excessive fine in violation of the 8th amendment
10as interpreted by case law.
11    (v) If property is ordered forfeited under this Section
12from a claimant who held title to the property in joint tenancy
13or tenancy in common with another claimant, the court shall
14determine the amount of each owner's interest in the property
15according to principles of property law.
16    (w) A claimant or a party interested in personal property
17contained within a seized conveyance may file a request with
18the State's Attorney in a non-judicial forfeiture action, or a
19motion with the court in a judicial forfeiture action for the
20return of any personal property contained within a conveyance
21which is seized under this Article. The return of personal
22property shall not be unreasonably withheld if the personal
23property is not mechanically or electrically coupled to the
24conveyance, needed for evidentiary purposes, or otherwise
25contraband. Any law enforcement agency that returns property
26under a court order under this Section shall not be liable to

10            (i) that the claimant filing the motion is the true
11        owner of the conveyance as interpreted by case law;
12            (ii) that the claimant was not legally accountable
13        for the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture or
14        acquiesced in the conduct;

16        or attempt to commit the conduct giving rise to the
17        forfeiture;
18            (iv) that the claimant did not know or did not have
19        reason to know that the conduct giving rise to the
20        forfeiture was likely to occur; and

22        the benefit of, or as nominee for any person whose
23        conduct gave rise to its forfeiture or if the owner or
24        interest holder acquired the interest through any
25        person, the owner or interest holder did not acquire it
26        as a bona fide purchaser for value or acquired the

14        allowed for sufficient time to review and investigate
15        the discovery responses, the court shall conduct a
16        hearing. At the hearing, the fact that the conveyance
17        is subject to forfeiture shall not be at issue. The
18        court shall only hear evidence relating to the issue of
19        innocent ownership.
20            (ii) At the hearing on the motion, it shall be the
21        burden of the claimant to prove each of the assertions
22        listed in paragraph (1) of this subsection (x) by a
23        preponderance of the evidence.
24            (iii) If a claimant meets his burden of proof, the
25        court shall grant the motion and order the property
26        returned to the claimant. If the claimant fails to meet

 

 

SB2834 Engrossed- 401 -LRB100 16078 KTG 33917 b

1        his or her burden of proof then the court shall deny
2        the motion.

17    property seized for forfeiture shall deliver property
18    ordered by the court to be returned or conveyed to the

21    reviewing court pending an appeal, motion to reconsider, or
22    other reason.
23        (2) The law enforcement agency that holds custody of
24    property is responsible for any damages, storage fees, and
25    related costs applicable to property returned. The

2    preservation of the property. Charges for the towing of a
3    conveyance shall be borne by the claimant unless the
4    conveyance was towed for the sole reason of seizure for

7    government related to the impoundment of a conveyance under
8    an ordinance enacted by the unit of government.
9        (3) A law enforcement agency shall not retain forfeited
10    property for its own use or transfer the property to any
11    person or entity, except as provided under this Section. A

16    Director of State Police shall provide a written
17    justification in each instance detailing the reasons why
18    the forfeited property was placed into official use and the
