Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

20 ILCS 301/35-5

    (20 ILCS 301/35-5)
    Sec. 35-5. Services for pregnant women and mothers.
    (a) In order to promote a comprehensive, statewide and multidisciplinary approach to serving pregnant women and mothers, including those who are minors, and their children who are affected by substance use disorders, the Department shall have responsibility for an ongoing exchange of referral information among the following:
        (1) those who provide medical and social services to
    
pregnant women, mothers and their children, whether or not there exists evidence of a substance use disorder. These include any other State-funded medical or social services to pregnant women.
        (2) providers of treatment services to women affected
    
by substance use disorders.
    (b) (Blank).
    (c) (Blank).
    (d) (Blank).
    (e) (Blank).
    (f) The Department shall develop and maintain an updated and comprehensive directory of licensed providers that deliver treatment and intervention services. The Department shall post on its website a licensed provider directory updated at least quarterly.
    (g) As a condition of any State grant or contract, the Department shall require that any treatment program for women with substance use disorders provide services, either by its own staff or by agreement with other agencies or individuals, which include but need not be limited to the following:
        (1) coordination with any program providing case
    
management services to ensure ongoing monitoring and coordination of services after the addicted woman has returned home.
        (2) coordination with medical services for individual
    
medical care of pregnant women, including prenatal care under the supervision of a physician.
        (3) coordination with child care services.
    (h) As a condition of any State grant or contract, the Department shall require that any nonresidential program receiving any funding for treatment services accept women who are pregnant, provided that such services are clinically appropriate. Failure to comply with this subsection shall result in termination of the grant or contract and loss of State funding.
    (i)(1) From funds appropriated expressly for the purposes of this Section, the Department shall create or contract with licensed, certified agencies to develop a program for the care and treatment of pregnant women, mothers and their children. The program shall be in Cook County in an area of high density population having a disproportionate number of women with substance use disorders and a high infant mortality rate.
    (2) From funds appropriated expressly for the purposes of this Section, the Department shall create or contract with licensed, certified agencies to develop a program for the care and treatment of low income pregnant women. The program shall be located anywhere in the State outside of Cook County in an area of high density population having a disproportionate number of low income pregnant women.
    (3) In implementing the programs established under this subsection, the Department shall contract with existing residential treatment or recovery homes in areas having a disproportionate number of women with substance use disorders who need residential treatment. Priority shall be given to women who:
        (A) are pregnant, especially if they are intravenous
    
drug users,
        (B) have minor children,
        (C) are both pregnant and have minor children, or
        (D) are referred by medical personnel because they
    
either have given birth to a baby with a substance use disorder, or will give birth to a baby with a substance use disorder.
    (4) The services provided by the programs shall include but not be limited to:
        (A) individual medical care, including prenatal care,
    
under the supervision of a physician.
        (B) temporary, residential shelter for pregnant
    
women, mothers and children when necessary.
        (C) a range of educational or counseling services.
        (D) comprehensive and coordinated social services,
    
including therapy groups for the treatment of substance use disorders; family therapy groups; programs to develop positive self-awareness; parent-child therapy; and residential support groups.
    (5) (Blank).

20 ILCS 301/35-10

    (20 ILCS 301/35-10)
    Sec. 35-10. Adolescent Family Life Program.
    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following:
        (1) In Illinois, a substantial number of babies are
    
born each year to adolescent mothers between 12 and 19 years of age.
        (2) A substantial percentage of pregnant adolescents
    
have substance use disorders or live in environments in which substance use disorders occur and thus are at risk of exposing their infants to dangerous and harmful circumstances.
        (3) It is difficult to provide substance use disorder
    
counseling for adolescents in settings designed to serve adults.
    (b) To address the findings set forth in subsection (a), and subject to appropriation, the Department may establish and fund treatment strategies to meet the developmental, social, and educational needs of high-risk pregnant adolescents and shall do the following:
        (1) To the maximum extent feasible and appropriate,
    
utilize existing services and funding rather than create new, duplicative services.
        (2) Include plans for coordination and collaboration
    
with existing perinatal substance use disorder services.
        (3) Include goals and objectives for reducing the
    
incidence of high-risk pregnant adolescents.
        (4) Be culturally and linguistically appropriate to
    
the population being served.
        (5) Include staff development training by substance
    
use disorder counselors.
    As used in this Section, "high-risk pregnant adolescent" means a person at least 12 but not more than 18 years of age with a substance use disorder who is pregnant.
    (c) (Blank).

20 ILCS 301/40-10

    (20 ILCS 301/40-10)
    Sec. 40-10. Treatment as a condition of probation.
    (a) If a court has reason to believe that an individual who is charged with or convicted of a crime suffers from a substance use disorder and the court finds that he or she is eligible to make the election provided for under Section 40-5, the court shall advise the individual that he or she may be sentenced to probation and shall be subject to terms and conditions of probation under Section 5-6-3 of the Unified Code of Corrections if he or she elects to participate in treatment and is accepted for services by a designated program. The court shall further advise the individual that:
        (1) If he or she elects to participate in treatment
    
and is accepted he or she shall be sentenced to probation and placed under the supervision of the designated program for a period not to exceed the maximum sentence that could be imposed for his or her conviction or 5 years, whichever is less.
        (2) During probation he or she may be treated at the
    
discretion of the designated program.
        (3) If he or she adheres to the requirements of the
    
designated program and fulfills the other conditions of probation ordered by the court, he or she will be discharged, but any failure to adhere to the requirements of the designated program is a breach of probation.
    The court may require an individual to obtain treatment while on probation under the supervision of a designated program and probation authorities regardless of the election of the individual if the assessment, as specified in subsection (b), indicates that such treatment is medically necessary.
    (b) If the individual elects to undergo treatment or is required to obtain treatment, the court shall order an assessment by a designated program to determine whether he or she suffers from a substance use disorder and is likely to be rehabilitated through treatment. The designated program shall report to the court the results of the assessment and, if treatment is determined medically necessary, indicate the diagnosis and the recommended initial level of care. If the court, on the basis of the report and other information, finds that such an individual suffers from a substance use disorder and is likely to be rehabilitated through treatment, the individual shall be placed on probation and under the supervision of a designated program for treatment and under the supervision of the proper probation authorities for probation supervision unless, giving consideration to the nature and circumstances of the offense and to the history, character, and condition of the individual, the court is of the opinion that no significant relationship exists between the substance use disorder of the individual and the crime committed, or that his or her imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is necessary for the protection of the public, and the court specifies on the record the particular evidence, information, or other reasons that form the basis of such opinion. However, under no circumstances shall the individual be placed under the supervision of a designated program for treatment before the entry of a judgment of conviction.
    (c) If the court, on the basis of the report or other information, finds that the individual suffering from a substance use disorder is not likely to be rehabilitated through treatment, or that his or her substance use disorder and the crime committed are not significantly related, or that his or her imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is necessary for the protection of the public, the court shall impose sentence as in other cases. The court may require such progress reports on the individual from the probation officer and designated program as the court finds necessary. Case management services, as defined in this Act and as further described by rule, shall also be delivered by the designated program. No individual may be placed under treatment supervision unless a designated program accepts him or her for treatment.
    (d) Failure of an individual placed on probation and under the supervision of a designated program to observe the requirements set down by the designated program shall be considered a probation violation. Such failure shall be reported by the designated program to the probation officer in charge of the individual and treated in accordance with probation regulations.
    (e) Upon successful fulfillment of the terms and conditions of probation the court shall discharge the person from probation. If the person has not previously been convicted of any felony offense and has not previously been granted a vacation of judgment under this Section, upon motion, the court shall vacate the judgment of conviction and dismiss the criminal proceedings against him or her unless, having considered the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history, character and condition of the individual, the court finds that the motion should not be granted. Unless good cause is shown, such motion to vacate must be filed at any time from the date of the entry of the judgment to a date that is not more than 60 days after the discharge of the probation.
