405 ILCS 5/ Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.

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.

405 ILCS 5/4-308

(405 ILCS 5/4-308) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 4-308)

Sec. 4-308.

(a) If the court finds that the client is not a person with a
developmental disability, that he is not in need of the services which are
available at the facility, or that a less restrictive alternative is
appropriate, it shall disapprove the admission and order the client discharged.
 If the client is in a Department facility and the court finds that he or she
is a person with a developmental disability but that he is not in need of the
services which are available at the facility or that a less restrictive
alternative is appropriate, the court may order him transferred to a more
appropriate Department facility. If the person who executed the application for
admission objects to the transfer, the court shall order the client discharged.

(b) Unless the court orders the discharge or transfer of the client, the
facility may continue to provide the client with residential and habilitation
services.

(c) Unwillingness or inability of the client's parent, guardian or person
in loco parentis to provide for his care or residence shall not be grounds
for the court's refusing to order discharge.  In that event, a petition may
be filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or the Probate Act of
1975, approved August 7, 1975, as now or hereafter amended, to ensure that
appropriate care and residence are provided.
