15has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
16Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
17        (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
18    once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
19    handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
20    county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
21    minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
22    custody.

5    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
6    circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of
7    time the minor was in detention.
8        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
9    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
10    itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
11    of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 years
12    of age shall be kept separate from confined adults and may
13    not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard with
14    adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 years
15    of age and older who have a petition of delinquency filed
16    against them may be confined in an adult detention
17    facility. In making a determination whether to confine a
18    person 18 years of age or older who has a petition of

6or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
7years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
8adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
9or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
10apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
11not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court
12designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time
13period, county jails shall comply with all monitoring standards
14promulgated by the Department of Corrections and training
15standards approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
16Standards Board.
17    (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,

7enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in the
8county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
9under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
10confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
11no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
12and adult prisoners.
13    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
14minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
15the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
16officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
17and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
18and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
19    (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
20taken to a County Jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
21constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or

24officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound separation
25provisions shall not apply.

HB5472- 8 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

1        is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
2        under this subsection and who is found to be a
3        delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
4        a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
5        on probation;
6            (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with

14        delinquent minor is under 15 years of age or, pursuant
15        to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
16        independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
17        exists. An independent basis exists when the
18        allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
19        dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
20        or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
21        adjudication of delinquency;
22            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
23        30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition

HB5472- 9 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

2        years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
3        may be extended by further order of the court for a
4        minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
5        Children and Family Services if the court finds that
6        the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
7        shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
8        detention for time spent in detention under Sections
9        5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
10        result of the offense for which the sentencing order
11        was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
12        order of detention entered under a violation of
13        probation or violation of conditional discharge under
14        Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
15        detention before the filing of the petition alleging
16        the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
17        for time spent in detention before the filing of a
18        violation of probation or conditional discharge
19        alleging the same or related act or acts. The
20        limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a
21        juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
22            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
23        petition of delinquency filed against them may be
24        confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
25        determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
26        age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed

 

 

HB5472- 10 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

1        against the person, these factors, among other
2        matters, shall be considered:
3                (A) the age of the person;
4                (B) any previous delinquent or criminal
5            history of the person;
6                (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of
7            the person;
8                (D) any mental health history of the person;
9            and
10                (E) any educational history of the person;
11            (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
12        in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
13        of Minors Act;
14            (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
15        or driving privileges suspended for such time as
16        determined by the court but only until he or she
17        attains 18 years of age;
18            (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
19        and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
20        Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
21        incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
22        of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
23        adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
24        upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
25        notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law;

4        7A of this Article.
5        (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
6    Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
7    minor is 13 years of age or older, provided that the
8    commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice shall be
9    made only if a term of incarceration is permitted by law
10    for adults found guilty of the offense for which the minor
11    was adjudicated delinquent. The time during which a minor
12    is in custody before being released upon the request of a
13    parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be considered as
14    time spent in detention.
15        (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
16    which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
17    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
18    Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the
19    court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
20    the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
21    a substance abuse program approved by the Department of
22    Human Services.

11The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
12ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
13the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
14Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
15victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
16Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
17Parental Responsibility Law.
18    (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
19placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
20parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the
21legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
22sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
23person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
24payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
25Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.

9services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
10School Code.
11    (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the

16violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
17Criminal Code of 2012 shall be ordered to perform community

19community service is available in the jurisdiction. The
20community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
21the cleanup and repair of the damage that was caused by the

HB5472- 15 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

1in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
2public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
3whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court

6also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
7victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's

16the minor.
17    (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
18shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
19make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
20related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
21organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
22allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
23subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961

HB5472- 16 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

1use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
2affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to the
3Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the minor
4to perform community service for not less than 30 hours nor
5more than 120 hours, provided that community service is
6available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
7county board of the county where the offense was committed. The
8community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
9the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
10Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
11Code of 2012 and similar damage to property located in the
12municipality or county in which the violation occurred. When
13possible and reasonable, the community service shall be
14performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
15addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
16for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
17Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
18Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
19Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
20Prevention Act.
21    (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed
22in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
23as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
24the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
25driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
26Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for

 

 

HB5472- 17 -LRB098 18613 RLC 53754 b

1which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
2time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
3license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
4not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
518th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit
6at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that
7the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until
8his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence
9determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license
10at the time of the determination, the court may direct the
11Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving
12permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the
13same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the
14Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that
15the JDP be effective immediately.
16    (12) If a minor is found to be guilty of a violation of
17subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use
18by Minors Act, the court may, in its discretion, and upon
