    (105 ILCS 5/2-3.13a)  (from Ch. 122, par. 2-3.13a)


    Sec. 2-3.13a. School records; transferring students. 

    (a) The State
Board of Education shall establish and 
implement rules requiring all of the
public schools and all 
private or nonpublic elementary and secondary
schools located 
in this State, whenever any such school has a student who
is 
transferring to any other public elementary or secondary school 
located in
this or in any other state, to forward within 10 
days of notice of the
student's transfer an unofficial record 
of that student's grades to the school
to which such student is 
transferring.  Each public school at the same time
also shall 
forward to the school to which the student is transferring the

remainder of the student's school student records as required 
by the Illinois
School Student Records Act.
In addition, if a 
student is transferring from a public school, whether
located 
in this or any other state, from which the
student has been 
suspended or expelled for knowingly possessing in a school

building or on school grounds a weapon as defined in the Gun 
Free Schools Act
(20 U.S.C. 8921 et seq.), for knowingly 
possessing, selling, or delivering in
a school building or on 
school grounds a controlled substance or cannabis, or
for 
battering a staff member of the school, and
if the period of 
suspension or expulsion has not expired at the time the
student 
attempts to transfer into another public school in the same or 
any
other school district: (i) any school student records 
required to be
transferred shall include the date and duration 
of the period of suspension or
expulsion; and (ii) with the 
exception of transfers into the Department of
Juvenile Justice

Corrections school district, the student shall not be permitted 
to attend
class in the
public school into which he or she is 
transferring until the student has served
the entire period of 
the suspension or expulsion imposed by the school from
which 
the student is transferring, provided that the school board may 
approve
the placement of the student in an alternative school 
program established under
Article 13A of this Code.
A school 
district may adopt a policy providing that if a student is

suspended or expelled for any reason from any public or private 
school in
this or any other state, the student must complete 
the entire term of the
suspension or expulsion before being 
admitted into the school district.
This policy may allow 
placement of the student in an alternative school
program 
established under Article 13A of this Code, if available, for 
the
remainder of
the suspension or expulsion.
Each public 
school
and each private or nonpublic elementary or secondary 
school in this State
shall within 10 days after the student has 
paid all of his or her
outstanding fines and fees and at its 
own expense forward an official
transcript of the scholastic 
records of each student transferring from that
school in strict 
accordance with the provisions of this Section and the rules

established by the State Board of Education as herein provided.

    (b) The State Board of Education shall develop a one-page 
standard form that
Illinois school districts are required to 
provide to any student who is
moving out of
the school district 
and that
contains the information about whether or not the

student is "in good standing" and whether or not his or her 
medical records are
up-to-date and complete.  As used in this 
Section, "in good standing" means
that the student is not being 
disciplined by a suspension or expulsion, but is
entitled to 
attend classes.  No school district is required to admit a new

student who is transferring from another Illinois school 
district unless he
or she can produce the standard form from 
the student's
previous school district enrollment.
 No school 
district is required to admit a new student who is transferring

from an out-of-state public school unless the parent or 
guardian of the
student certifies in writing that the student 
is not currently serving a
suspension or expulsion imposed by 
the school from which the student is
transferring.

    (c) The State Board of Education shall, by rule, establish 
a system to provide for the accurate tracking of transfer 
students.  This system shall, at a minimum, require that a 
student be counted as a dropout in the calculation of a 
school's or school district's annual student dropout rate 
unless the school or school district to which the student 
transferred (known hereafter in this subsection (c) as the 
transferee school or school district) sends notification to the 
school or school district from which the student transferred 
(known hereafter in this subsection (c) as the transferor 
school or school district) documenting that the student has 
enrolled in the transferee school or school district.  This 
notification must occur within 150 days after the date the 
student withdraws from the transferor school or school district 
or the student shall be counted in the calculation of the 
transferor school's or school district's annual student 
dropout rate.  A request by the transferee school or school 
district to the transferor school or school district seeking 
the student's academic transcripts or medical records shall be 
considered without limitation adequate documentation of 
enrollment.  Each transferor school or school district shall 
keep documentation of such transfer students for the minimum 
period provided in the Illinois School Student Records Act.  All 
records indicating the school or school district to which a 
student transferred are subject to the Illinois School Student 
Records Act.

to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.

    (ii) If before trial or plea an information or indictment 
is filed that
includes one or more charges specified in

not invalidate the verdict 
or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal
laws of the 
State;  however, unless the State requests a hearing for the

purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified 
Code of
Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections

Article.  To request a hearing, the 
State must file a written motion within 10
days following the 
entry of a finding or the return of a verdict.  Reasonable

Criminal Code of 1961 while in school, regardless of the time 
of day or the

time of day or the time of year.  
School is defined, for purposes of this
Section as any public

trial the minor defendant 
knowingly and with advice of counsel waives, in
writing, his or 
her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.

is filed that
includes one or more charges specified in

assault,
or aggravated kidnaping.  However, this subsection (4) 
does not include a minor
charged with first degree murder based 
exclusively upon the accountability
provisions of the Criminal 
Code of 1961.

    (b) (i) If before trial or plea an information or 
indictment is filed that
does not charge first degree murder 
committed during the course of aggravated
criminal sexual 
assault, criminal
sexual assault, or aggravated kidnaping, the 
State's Attorney may proceed on
any lesser charge or charges, 
but only in Juvenile Court under the provisions
of this 
Article.  The State's Attorney may proceed under the criminal 
laws of
this State
on a lesser charge if before trial the minor 
defendant knowingly and with
advice of counsel waives, in 
writing, his or her right to have the matter
proceed in 
Juvenile Court.

    (ii) If before trial or plea an information or
indictment 
is filed that includes first degree murder committed during the

course of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual 
assault, or
aggravated kidnaping, and additional charges that 
are not specified in
paragraph (a) of this subsection, all of 
the charges arising out of the same
incident shall be 
prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.

    (c) (i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of 
first degree
murder
committed during the course of aggravated 
criminal sexual assault, criminal
sexual assault, or 
aggravated kidnaping, in sentencing the minor, the court
shall 
have available any or all dispositions prescribed for that 
offense under
Chapter V  of the Unified Code of Corrections.

    (ii) If the minor was not yet 15
years of age at the time of 
the offense, and if after trial or plea the court
finds that 
the minor
committed an offense other than first degree murder 
committed during
the course of either aggravated criminal 
sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault, or aggravated 
kidnapping, the finding shall not invalidate the
verdict or the 
prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of the State;

however, unless the State requests a hearing for the purpose of 
sentencing the
minor under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of 
Corrections, the Court must proceed under
Sections 5-705 and 
5-710 of this Article.  To request a hearing, the State must

file a written motion within 10 days following the entry of a 
finding or the
return of a verdict.  Reasonable notice of the 
motion shall be given to the
minor or his or her counsel.  If 
the motion is made by the State, the court
shall conduct a 
hearing to determine whether the minor should be sentenced

under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of Corrections.  In making 
its determination, the court shall
consider among other 
matters:  (a) whether there is evidence that the offense
was 
committed in an
aggressive and premeditated manner;  (b) the age 
of the minor;  (c) the
previous delinquent history of the minor;  
(d) whether there are facilities
particularly available to the 
Juvenile Court or the Department of Juvenile Justice

Corrections,
Juvenile Division,
for the treatment and 
rehabilitation of the minor;  (e) whether the best
interest of 
the minor and the security of the public require sentencing 
under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections;  and (f) 
whether the minor
possessed a deadly weapon when committing the 
offense.  The rules of evidence
shall be the same as if at 
trial.  If after the hearing the court finds that
the minor 
should be sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of

Corrections, then the court shall sentence the minor 
accordingly having
available to it any or all dispositions so 
prescribed.

    (5) (a) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 
5-120 of this
Article
shall not apply to any minor who is 
charged with a violation of subsection (a)
of Section 31-6 or 
Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 1961 when the minor is

subject to prosecution under the criminal laws of this State as 
a result of the
application of the provisions of Section 5-125, 
or subsection (1) or (2) of
this Section.  These charges and all 
other charges arising out of the same
incident shall be 
prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.

    (b) (i) If before trial or plea an information or 
indictment is filed that
does not charge an offense specified 
in paragraph (a) of this subsection (5),
the State's Attorney 
may proceed on any lesser charge or charges, but only in

Juvenile Court under the provisions of this Article.  The 
State's Attorney may
proceed under the criminal laws of this 
State on a lesser charge if before
trial the minor defendant 
knowingly and with advice of counsel waives, in
writing, his or 
her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.

    (ii) If before trial
or plea an information or indictment 
is filed that includes one or more charges
specified in 
paragraph (a) of this subsection (5) and additional charges 
that
are not specified in that paragraph, all of
the charges 
arising out of the same incident shall be prosecuted under the

criminal laws of this State.

    (c) (i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of 
any offense
covered
by paragraph (a) of this subsection (5), 
then, in sentencing the minor, the
court shall have available 
any or all dispositions prescribed for that offense
under 
Chapter V  of the Unified Code of Corrections.

    (ii) If after trial or
plea the court finds that the minor 
committed an offense not covered by
paragraph (a) of
this 
subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the verdict 
or the
prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of this 
State;  however,
unless the State requests a hearing for the

purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified 
Code of
Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections 
5-705 and 5-710 of this
Article.
To request a hearing, the 
State must file a written motion within 10 days
following the 
entry of a finding or the return of a verdict.  Reasonable 
notice
of the motion shall be given to the minor or his or her 
counsel.  If the motion
is made by the State, the court shall 
conduct a hearing to determine if whether
the minor should be 
sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
Corrections.  
In making its determination, the court shall consider among 
other
matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense 
was committed in an
aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the 
age of the minor;  (c) the previous
delinquent history of the 
minor; (d) whether there are facilities particularly
available 
to the Juvenile Court or the Department of Juvenile Justice

Corrections, Juvenile
Division, for the treatment and 
rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether
the security of the 
public requires sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified
Code 
of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor possessed a deadly 
weapon when
committing the offense.  The rules of evidence shall 
be the same as if at
trial.  If after the hearing the court 
finds that the minor should be sentenced
under Chapter V of the 
Unified Code of Corrections, then the court shall
sentence the 
minor accordingly having available to it any or all 
dispositions
so prescribed.

    (6) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 5-120 
of this Article
shall not apply to any minor who, pursuant to 
subsection (1), or (3) or
Section 5-805, or 5-810, has 
previously been placed under the jurisdiction of
the criminal 
court and has been convicted of a crime under an adult criminal 
or
penal statute. Such a minor shall be subject to prosecution 
under the criminal
laws of this State.

    (7) The procedures set out in this Article for the 
investigation, arrest and
prosecution of juvenile offenders 
shall not apply to minors who are excluded
from jurisdiction of 
the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 17 years of
age 
shall be kept separate from confined adults.

    (8) Nothing in this Act prohibits or limits the prosecution 
of any
minor for an offense committed on or after his or her 
17th birthday even though
he or she is at the time of the 
offense a ward of the court.

    (9) If an original petition for adjudication of wardship 
alleges the
commission by a minor 13 years of age or
over of an 
act that constitutes a crime under the laws of this State,
the 
minor, with the consent of his or her counsel, may, at any time 
before
commencement of the adjudicatory hearing, file with the 
court a motion
that criminal prosecution be ordered and that 
the petition be dismissed
insofar as the act or acts involved 
in the criminal proceedings are
concerned. If such a motion is 
filed as herein provided, the court shall
enter its order 
accordingly.

    (10) If, prior to August 12, 2005 (the effective date of 
Public Act 94-574)
this amendatory Act of the 94th General 
Assembly, a minor is charged with a violation of Section 401 of 
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act under the criminal laws 
of this State, other than a minor charged with a Class X felony 
violation of the
Illinois Controlled
Substances Act or the 
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, any 
party including the minor or the court sua sponte
may, before 
trial,
move for a hearing for the purpose of trying and 
sentencing the minor as
a delinquent minor. To request a 
hearing, the party must file a motion
prior to trial. 
Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all
parties. 
On its own motion or upon the filing of a motion by one of the

parties including the minor, the court shall conduct a hearing 
to
determine whether the minor should be tried and sentenced as 
a
delinquent minor under this Article. In making its 
determination, the
court shall consider among other matters:

    (a) The age of the minor;

    (b) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of the 
minor;

    (c) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the minor;

    (d) Any mental health or educational history of the minor, 
or both; and

    (e) Whether there is probable cause to support the charge, 
whether
the minor is charged through accountability, and 
whether there is
evidence the minor possessed a deadly weapon 
or caused serious
bodily harm during the offense.

    Any material that is relevant and reliable shall be 
admissible at the
hearing.  In
all cases, the judge shall enter 
an order permitting prosecution
under the criminal laws of 
Illinois unless the judge makes a finding
based on a 
preponderance of the evidence that the minor would be
amenable 
to the care, treatment, and training programs available
through 
the facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of

the factors listed in this subsection (10).

    (705 ILCS 405/5-705)


    Sec. 5-705. Sentencing hearing; evidence; continuance. 

    (1) At the sentencing hearing, the court shall determine 
whether it is in
the best interests of the minor or the public 
that he or she be made a ward of
the
court, and, if he or she is 
to be made a ward of the court, the court shall
determine
the 
proper disposition best serving the interests of the minor and 
the public.
All evidence helpful in determining these 
questions,
including oral and written reports, may be admitted 
and may be relied upon to
the extent of its probative value, 
even though not competent for the purposes
of the trial.  A 
record of a prior continuance under supervision
under Section 
5-615, whether successfully completed or not, is admissible at

the
sentencing hearing.  No order of commitment to the 
Department of Juvenile Justice
Corrections,
Juvenile Division, 
shall be entered against a minor before a written report of

social investigation, which has been completed within the 
previous 60 days, is
presented to and considered by the court.

    (2) Once a party has been served in compliance with Section 
5-525, no
further service or notice must be given to that party 
prior to proceeding to a
sentencing hearing.  Before
imposing 
sentence the court shall advise the State's Attorney and
the 
parties who are present or their counsel of the factual 
contents and the
conclusions of the reports prepared for the 
use of the court and considered by
it, and afford fair 
opportunity, if requested, to controvert them.  Factual

contents, conclusions, documents and sources disclosed by the 
court under this
paragraph shall not be further disclosed 
without the express approval of the
court.

    (3) On its own motion or that of the State's Attorney, a 
parent, guardian,
legal custodian, or counsel, the court may 
adjourn the hearing for a reasonable
period to receive reports 
or other evidence and, in such event, shall make an
appropriate 
order for detention of
the minor or his or her release from 
detention subject to supervision by the
court
during the period 
of the continuance.  In the event the court shall order

detention hereunder, the period of the continuance shall not 
exceed 30 court
days.  At the end of such time, the court shall 
release the minor from
detention unless notice is served at 
least 3 days prior to the hearing on the
continued date that 
the State will be seeking an extension of the period of

detention, which notice shall state the reason for the request 
for the
extension.  The extension of detention may be for a 
maximum period of an
additional 15 court days or a lesser 
number of days at the discretion of the
court.  However, at the 
expiration of the period of extension, the court shall
release 
the minor from detention if a further continuance is granted.  
In
scheduling
investigations and hearings, the court shall give 
priority to proceedings in
which a minor is in detention or has 
otherwise been removed from his or her
home
before a sentencing 
order has been made. 

    (4) When commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice

Corrections, Juvenile Division, is
ordered, the court shall 
state the basis for selecting the particular
disposition, and 
the court shall prepare such a statement for inclusion in the

record.

    (705 ILCS 405/5-710)



    Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders. 

    (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in 
respect of
wards of the court:


        (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, 5-815, 
    a minor who is
found
guilty under Section 5-620 may be:


            (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and 
        released to his or her
parents, guardian or legal 
        custodian, provided, however, that any such minor
who 
        is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice

        Corrections, Juvenile Division under
this subsection 
        and who is found to be a delinquent for an offense 
        which is
first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a 
        forcible felony shall be placed on
probation;


            (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with 
        or without also being
put on probation or conditional 
        discharge;


            (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse 
        assessment conducted by a
licensed provider and 
        participate in the indicated clinical level of care;


            (iv) placed in the guardianship of the Department 
        of Children and Family
Services, but only if the 
        delinquent minor is under 13 years of age;


            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed 
        30 days, either as
the
exclusive order of disposition 
        or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any
other 
        order of disposition issued under this paragraph, 
        provided that any such
detention shall be in a juvenile 
        detention home and the minor so detained shall
be 10 
        years of age or older.  However, the 30-day limitation 
        may be extended by
further order of the court for a 
        minor under age 13 committed to the Department
of 
        Children and Family Services if the court finds that 
        the minor is a danger
to himself or others.  The minor 
        shall be given credit on the sentencing order
of 
        detention for time spent in detention under Sections 
        5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or
5-720 of this
Article as a 
        result of the offense for which the sentencing order 
        was imposed.
The court may grant credit on a sentencing 
        order of detention entered under a
violation of 
        probation or violation of conditional discharge under 
        Section
5-720 of this Article for time spent in 
        detention before the filing of the
petition
alleging 
        the violation.  A minor shall not be deprived of credit 
        for time spent
in detention before the filing of a 
        violation of probation or conditional
discharge 
        alleging the same or related act or acts;


            (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated 
        in accordance with the
provisions of the Emancipation 
        of Minors Act;


            (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license 
        or driving
privileges
suspended for such time as 
        determined by the court but only until he or she

        attains 18 years of age;


            (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge 
        and placed in detention
under Section 3-6039 of the 
        Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period
of 
        incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty 
        of the same offense
or offenses for which the minor was 
        adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no
longer than 
        upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii) 
        notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the law; or


            (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other 
        procedure to have a tattoo
symbolizing allegiance to a 
        street gang removed from his or her body.


        (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the 
    Department of
Juvenile Justice
Corrections,
Juvenile 
    Division, under Section 5-750 if the minor is 13 years of 
    age or
older,
provided that the commitment to the 
    Department of Juvenile Justice
Corrections, Juvenile

    Division, shall be made only if a term of incarceration is 
    permitted by law for
adults found guilty of the offense for 
    which the minor was adjudicated
delinquent.  The time during 
    which a minor is in custody before being released
upon the 
    request of a parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be 
    considered
as time spent in detention.


        (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense 
    which is a violation
of the Illinois Controlled Substances 
    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine 
    Control and Community Protection Act  and made
a ward of the 
    court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring 
    the
minor to undergo assessment,
counseling or treatment in 
    a substance abuse program approved by the Department
of 
    Human Services.

    (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the 
Department of
Juvenile Justice
Corrections, Juvenile Division, 
may provide for protective supervision under
Section 5-725 and 
may include an order of protection under Section 5-730.

    (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it 
does not operate
to close proceedings on the pending petition, 
but is subject to modification
until final closing and 
discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.

    (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order 
any
minor
found to be delinquent to make restitution, in 
monetary or non-monetary form,
under the terms and conditions 
of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, except 
that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that
Section

shall be
the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.  
The parent, guardian or
legal custodian of the minor may be 
ordered by the court to pay some or all of
the restitution on 
the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility

Law.   The State's Attorney is authorized to act
on behalf of any 
victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this

Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the 
Parental
Responsibility Law.

    (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or 
placed in
accordance
with Section 5-740 shall provide for the 
parents or guardian of the estate of
the minor to pay to the 
legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor
such 
sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the 
person of the
minor as necessary for the minor's needs.  The 
payments may not exceed the
maximum amounts provided for by 
Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services
Act.

    (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to 
attend school or
participate in a program of training, the 
truant officer or designated school
official shall regularly 
report to the court if the minor is a chronic or
habitual 
truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.

    (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the 
Department of
Juvenile Justice
Corrections, Juvenile Division 
for a period of time in
excess of
that period for which an 
adult could be committed for the same act.

    (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a 
violation of
Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall 
be ordered to perform
community service for not less than 30 
and not more than 120 hours, if
community service is available 
in the jurisdiction.  The community service
shall include, but 
need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of the damage

that was caused by the violation or similar damage to property 
located in the
municipality or county in which the violation 
occurred.  The order may be in
addition to any other order 
authorized by this Section.

    (8.5) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a 
violation of
Section
3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care 
for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of
subsection (1) of
Section 
21-1 of
the Criminal Code
of
1961 shall be ordered to undergo 
medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by
a
psychiatrist or 
psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.

The order
may be in addition to any other order authorized by 
this Section.

    (9) In addition to any other sentencing order, the court 
shall order any
minor found
to be guilty for an act which would 
constitute, predatory criminal sexual
assault of a child, 
aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault, 
aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if

committed by an
adult to undergo medical testing to determine 
whether the defendant has any
sexually transmissible disease 
including a test for infection with human
immunodeficiency 
virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of

acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).  Any medical test 
shall be performed
only by appropriately licensed medical 
practitioners and may include an
analysis of any bodily fluids 
as well as an examination of the minor's person.
Except as 
otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be 
kept
strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in 
the testing and must
be personally delivered in a sealed 
envelope to the judge of the court in which
the sentencing 
order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera.  Acting

in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the 
public, the judge
shall have the discretion to determine to 
whom the results of the testing may
be revealed.  The court 
shall notify the minor of the results of the test for
infection 
with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  The court shall 
also
notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the 
victim is under the
age of 15 and if requested by the victim's 
parents or legal guardian, the court
shall notify the victim's 
parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the
test for 
infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  The 
court
shall provide information on the availability of HIV 
testing and counseling at
the Department of Public Health 
facilities to all parties to whom the
results of the testing 
are revealed.  The court shall order that the cost of
any test 
shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against 
the
minor.

    (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court 
shall, before
entering a sentencing order under this Section, 
make a finding whether the
offense committed either:  (a) was 
related to or in furtherance of the criminal
activities of an 
organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
or 
allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of

subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, 
a violation of
any
Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code 
of 1961,  or a violation of any
statute that involved the 
wrongful use of a firearm.  If the court determines
the question 
in the affirmative,
and the court does not commit the minor to 
the Department of Juvenile Justice
Corrections,
Juvenile 
Division, the court shall order the minor to perform community 
service
for not less than 30 hours nor more than 120 hours, 
provided that community
service is available in the 
jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
county board of 
the county where the offense was committed.  The community

service shall include, but need not be limited to, the cleanup 
and repair of
any damage caused by a violation of Section 
21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961
and similar damage to 
property located in the municipality or county in which
the 
violation occurred.  When possible and reasonable, the 
community service
shall be performed in the minor's 
neighborhood.  This order shall be in
addition to any other 
order authorized by this Section
except for an order to place 
the minor in the custody of the Department of
Juvenile Justice

Corrections, Juvenile Division.  For the purposes of this 
Section, "organized
gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in 
Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus 
Prevention Act.

    (705 ILCS 405/5-750)


    Sec. 5-750. Commitment to the Department of Juvenile 
Justice
Corrections, Juvenile
Division.

    (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this Section, 
when any
delinquent has been adjudged a ward of the court under 
this Act, the court may
commit him or her to the Department of 
Juvenile Justice
Corrections, Juvenile Division, if it
finds

that (a) his or her parents, guardian or legal custodian are 
unfit or are
unable, for
some reason other than financial 
circumstances alone, to care for, protect,
train or discipline 
the minor, or are unwilling to do so,
and the best interests of 
the minor and
the public will not be served by placement under 
Section 5-740
 or; (b) it is
necessary to ensure the protection 
of the public from the consequences of
criminal activity of the 
delinquent.

    (2) When a minor of the age of at least 13 years is 
adjudged delinquent
for the offense of first degree murder, the 
court shall declare the minor a
ward of the court and order the 
minor committed to the Department of
Juvenile Justice

Corrections, Juvenile Division, until the minor's 21st 
birthday, without the
possibility of parole, furlough, or 
non-emergency authorized absence for a
period of 5 years from 
the date the minor was committed to the Department of
Juvenile 
Justice
Corrections, except that the time that a minor spent in 
custody for the instant
offense before being committed to the 
Department of Juvenile Justice shall be considered as time

credited towards that 5 year period.  Nothing in this subsection 
(2) shall
preclude the State's Attorney from seeking to 
prosecute a minor as an adult as
an alternative to proceeding 
under this Act.

    (3) Except as provided in subsection (2), the commitment of 
a
delinquent to the Department of Juvenile Justice
Corrections 
shall be for an indeterminate term
which shall automatically 
terminate upon the delinquent attaining the age of 21
years 
unless the delinquent is sooner discharged from parole or 
custodianship
is otherwise terminated in accordance with this 
Act or as otherwise provided
for by law.

    (4) When the court commits a minor to the Department of 
Juvenile Justice
Corrections, it
shall order him or her 
conveyed forthwith to the appropriate reception station
or

other place designated by the Department of Juvenile Justice

Corrections, and shall appoint the
Assistant Director of 
Juvenile Justice
Corrections, Juvenile Division, legal 
custodian of the
minor.  The clerk of the court shall issue to

    Sec. 5-815. Habitual Juvenile Offender. 

    (a) Definition.  Any minor
having been twice adjudicated a 
delinquent minor for offenses which, had he
been prosecuted as 
an adult, would have been felonies under the laws of
this 
State, and who is thereafter adjudicated a delinquent minor for 
a
third time shall be adjudged an Habitual Juvenile Offender 
where:


        1. the third adjudication is for an offense occurring 
    after
adjudication on the second; and


        2. the second adjudication was for an offense occurring 
    after
adjudication on the first; and


        3. the third offense occurred after January 1, 1980; 
    and


        4. the third offense was based upon the commission of 
    or attempted
commission of the following offenses:  first 
    degree murder, second
degree murder or involuntary 
    manslaughter; criminal sexual assault or
aggravated 
    criminal sexual assault; aggravated or heinous
battery 
    involving permanent disability or disfigurement or great 
    bodily
harm to the victim; burglary of a home or other 
    residence intended for
use as a temporary or permanent 
    dwelling place for human beings; home
invasion; robbery or 
    armed robbery; or aggravated arson.

    Nothing in this Section shall preclude the State's Attorney 
from
seeking to prosecute a minor as an adult as an alternative 
to
prosecution as an habitual juvenile offender.

    A continuance under supervision authorized by Section 
5-615 of
this Act
shall not be permitted under this Section.

    (b) Notice to minor.  The State shall serve upon the minor 
written
notice of intention to prosecute under the provisions 
of this Section within
5 judicial days of the filing of any 
delinquency petition, adjudication
upon which would mandate 
the minor's disposition as an Habitual Juvenile
Offender.

    (c) Petition; service.  A notice to seek adjudication as an

Habitual Juvenile Offender shall be filed only by the State's 
Attorney.

    The petition upon which such Habitual Juvenile Offender 
notice is
based shall contain the information and averments 
required for all
other delinquency petitions filed under this 
Act and its service shall
be according to the provisions of 
this Act.

    No prior adjudication shall be alleged in the petition.

    (d)  Trial. Trial on such petition shall be by jury unless 
the minor
demands, in open court and with advice of counsel, a 
trial by the court
without jury.

    Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this

Act concerning delinquency proceedings generally shall be 
applicable to
Habitual Juvenile Offender proceedings.

    (e) Proof of prior adjudications.  No evidence or other 
disclosure of prior
adjudications shall be presented
to the 
court or jury during any adjudicatory hearing provided for 
under this
Section unless otherwise permitted by the issues 
properly raised in such
hearing.  In the event the minor who is 
the subject of these
proceedings elects to testify on his own 
behalf, it shall be competent to
introduce evidence, for 
purposes of impeachment, that he has previously
been 
adjudicated a delinquent minor upon facts which, had he been 
tried as an
adult, would have resulted in his conviction of a 
felony or of any offense
that involved dishonesty or false 
statement.  Introduction of
such evidence shall be according to 
the rules and procedures applicable to
the impeachment of an 
adult defendant by prior conviction.

    After an admission of the facts in the petition or 
adjudication of
delinquency, the State's Attorney may file with 
the court a verified
written statement signed by the State's 
Attorney concerning any prior
adjudication of an offense set 
forth in subsection (a) of this Section
which offense would 
have been a felony or of any offense that involved
dishonesty 
or false statement had the  minor been tried as an adult.

    The court shall then cause the minor to be brought before 
it; shall
inform him of the allegations of the statement so 
filed, and of his
right to a hearing before the court on the 
issue of such prior
adjudication and of his right to counsel at 
such hearing; and unless the
minor admits such adjudication, 
the court shall hear and determine such
issue, and shall make a 
written finding thereon.

    A duly authenticated copy of the record of any such alleged 
prior
adjudication shall be prima facie evidence of such prior 
adjudication or of
any offense that involved dishonesty or 
false statement.

    Any claim that a previous adjudication offered by the 
State's
Attorney is not a former adjudication of an offense 
which, had the minor
been prosecuted as an adult, would have 
resulted in his conviction of  a
felony or of any offense that 
involved dishonesty or false statement, is
waived unless duly 
raised at the hearing on such
adjudication, or unless the 
State's Attorney's proof shows that such
prior adjudication was 
not based upon proof of what would have been a
felony.

    (f) Disposition. If the court finds that the prerequisites 
established in
subsection (a)
of this Section have been proven, 
it shall adjudicate the minor an Habitual
Juvenile Offender and 
commit him to the Department of Juvenile Justice
Corrections, 
Juvenile
Division, until his 21st birthday, without  
possibility of parole,
furlough, or non-emergency authorized 
absence.
However, the minor shall be entitled to earn one day 
of good conduct credit
for each day served as reductions 
against the period of his confinement.
Such good conduct 
credits shall be earned or revoked according to the
procedures 
applicable to the allowance and revocation of good conduct

credit for adult prisoners serving determinate sentences for 
felonies.

    For purposes of determining good conduct credit, 
commitment as an Habitual
Juvenile Offender shall be considered 
a determinate commitment, and the
difference between the date 
of the commitment and the minor's 21st birthday
shall be 
considered the determinate period of his confinement.

greater felony 
for
which an element of the offense is possession or use of a 
firearm, and who is

concerning delinquency proceedings 
generally shall be applicable to Violent
Juvenile Offender 
proceedings.

    (e) Proof of prior adjudications.  No evidence or other 
disclosure of prior
adjudications shall be presented to the 
court or jury during an adjudicatory
hearing provided for under 
this Section unless otherwise permitted by the
issues properly

subject of these proceedings elects to testify on his or her 
own behalf, it
shall be competent to introduce evidence, for 
purposes of impeachment, that he
or she has previously been 
adjudicated a delinquent minor upon facts which, had
the minor

conviction.

    After an admission of the facts in the petition or 
adjudication of
delinquency, the State's Attorney may file with

shall make a
written finding of the issue.

    A duly authenticated copy of the record of any alleged 
prior
adjudication shall be prima facie evidence of the prior 
adjudication or of any
offense that involved dishonesty or 
false statement.

    Any claim that a previous adjudication offered by the 
State's Attorney is not
a former adjudication of an offense 
which, had the minor been prosecuted as an
adult, would have 
resulted in his or her conviction of a Class 2 or greater

felony involving the
use or threat of force or violence, or a 
firearm, a felony or of any offense
that involved dishonesty or 
false statement is waived unless duly raised
at the hearing on 
the adjudication, or unless the State's Attorney's proof
shows 
that the prior adjudication was not based upon proof of what 
would have
been a felony.

    (f) Disposition.  If the court finds that the prerequisites 
established in
subsection (a) of this Section have been proven, 
it shall adjudicate the minor
a Violent Juvenile Offender and 
commit the minor to the Department of
Juvenile Justice

Corrections,
Juvenile Division, until his or her 21st birthday, 
without possibility of
parole, furlough, or non-emergency 
authorized absence.  However, the minor
shall be entitled to

reductions against the period of his or her confinement.  The 
good conduct
credits shall be earned or revoked according to 
the procedures applicable to
the allowance and revocation of

    For purposes of determining good conduct credit, 
commitment as a Violent
Juvenile Offender shall be considered a 
determinate commitment, and the
difference between the date of 
the commitment and the minor's 21st birthday
shall be 
considered the determinate period of his or her confinement.

    (g) Nothing in this Section shall preclude the State's 
Attorney from seeking
to prosecute a minor as a habitual 
juvenile offender or as an adult as an
alternative to 
prosecution as a Violent Juvenile Offender.

    (h) A continuance under supervision authorized by Section 
5-615

criminal court and all juvenile court records with respect to

any adjudications except those based upon first degree
murder 
and
sex offenses which would be felonies if committed by an 
adult, if the person
for whom expungement is sought has had no

convictions for any crime since his or her 17th birthday and:


        (a) has attained the age of 21 years; or


        (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court 
    proceedings relating to
him or her have been terminated or 
    his or her commitment to the Department of
Juvenile Justice

    Corrections, Juvenile Division
pursuant to this Act has 
    been terminated;

whichever is later of (a) or (b).
    (2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for 
delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as 
provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) at the time the 
minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if 
applicable, or other designated person from the arresting 
agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or 
the minor's parents or guardians that if the State's Attorney 
does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right 
to petition to have his or her arrest record expunged when the 
minor attains the age of 17 or when all juvenile court 
proceedings relating to that minor have been terminated and 
that unless a petition to expunge is filed, the minor shall 
have an arrest record and shall provide the minor and the 
minor's parents or guardians with an expungement information 
packet, including a petition to expunge juvenile records 
obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
    (2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is found 
not delinquent of that offense; or if a minor is placed under 
supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of supervision 
is successfully terminated; or  if a minor is adjudicated for an 
offense that would be a Class B misdemeanor, a Class C 
misdemeanor, or a business or petty offense if committed by an 
adult; or if a minor has incidents occurring before his or her 
17th birthday that have not resulted in proceedings in criminal 
court, or resulted in proceedings in juvenile court, and the 
adjudications were not based upon first degree murder or sex 
offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult; then 
at the time of sentencing or dismissal of the case, the judge 
shall inform the delinquent minor of his or her right to 
petition for expungement as provided by law, and the clerk of 
the circuit court shall provide an expungement information 
packet to the delinquent minor, written in plain language, 
including a petition for expungement, a sample of a completed 
petition, expungement instructions that shall include 
information informing the minor that (i) once the case is 
expunged, it shall be treated as if it never occurred, (ii) he 
or she may apply to have petition fees waived, (iii) once he or 
she obtains an expungement, he or she may not be required to 
disclose that he or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) he or 
she may file the petition on his or her own or with the 
assistance of an attorney. The failure of the judge to inform 
the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for 
expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive 
right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an 
adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial; or (iii) an 
appeal.
    (2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the 
clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a 
Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the 
address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the 
date that the minor attains the age of 17 based on the 
birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her 
guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c),  and (d) of 
subsection (1); and when the minor attains the age of 21 based 
on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or 
her guardian in cases under subsection (2).
    (2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (1)  shall 
be substantially in the following form:

Initials of Clerk completing this section: .....


    (4) Upon entry of an order expunging records or files, the 
offense, which
the records or files concern shall be treated as 
if it never occurred. Law
enforcement officers and other public 
offices and agencies shall properly reply
on inquiry that no 
record or file exists with respect to the
person. 

    (5) Records which have not been expunged are sealed, and 
may be obtained
only under the provisions of Sections 5-901, 
5-905 and 5-915.

    (6) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit 
the maintenance
of information relating to an offense after 
records or files concerning the
offense have been expunged if 
the information is kept in a manner that does not
enable 
identification of the offender.  This information may only be 
used for
statistical and bona fide research purposes.
    (7)(a) The State Appellate Defender shall establish, 
maintain, and carry out, by December 31, 2004,  a juvenile 
expungement program
to provide information and assistance to 
minors eligible to have their juvenile records expunged.

    (b) The State Appellate Defender shall develop brochures, 
pamphlets, and
other
materials in
printed form and through the 
agency's World Wide Web site.  The pamphlets and
other materials 
shall
include at a minimum the following information:


        (i) An explanation of the State's juvenile expungement 
    process;
        (ii) The circumstances under which juvenile 
    expungement may occur;
        (iii) The juvenile offenses that may be expunged;
        (iv) The steps necessary to initiate and complete the 
    juvenile expungement process;
and
        (v) Directions on how to contact the State Appellate 
    Defender.
    (c) The State Appellate Defender shall establish and 
maintain a statewide
toll-free telephone
number that a person 
may use to receive information or assistance concerning
the 
expungement of juvenile records. The State Appellate
Defender 
shall advertise
the toll-free telephone number statewide. The 
State Appellate Defender shall
develop an expungement

information packet that may be sent to eligible persons seeking 
expungement of
their juvenile records,
which may include, but 
is not limited to, a pre-printed expungement petition
with 
instructions on how
to complete the petition and a pamphlet 
containing information that would
assist individuals through

the juvenile expungement process.
    (d) The State Appellate Defender shall compile a statewide 
list of volunteer
attorneys willing
to assist eligible 
individuals through the juvenile expungement process.
    (e) This Section shall be implemented from funds 
appropriated by the General
Assembly to the State
Appellate 
Defender
for this purpose. The State Appellate Defender shall 
employ the necessary staff
and adopt the
necessary rules for 
implementation of this Section.
    (8)(a) Except with respect to law enforcement agencies, the 
Department of Corrections, State's Attorneys, or other 
prosecutors, an expunged juvenile record may not be considered 
by any private or public entity in employment matters, 
certification, licensing, revocation of certification or 
licensure, or registration.  Applications for employment must 
contain specific language that states that the applicant is not 
obligated to disclose expunged juvenile records of conviction 
or arrest.  Employers may not ask  if an applicant has had a 
juvenile record expunged.  Effective January 1, 2005, the 
Department of Labor shall develop a link on the Department's 
website to inform employers that employers may not ask if an 
applicant had a juvenile record expunged and that application 
for employment must contain specific language that states that 
the applicant is not obligated to disclose expunged juvenile 
records of arrest or conviction.
    (b) A person whose juvenile records have been expunged is 
not entitled to remission of any fines, costs, or other money 
paid as a consequence of expungement.  This amendatory Act of 
the 93rd General Assembly does not affect the right of the 
victim of a crime to prosecute or defend a civil action for 
damages.

    (725 ILCS 120/4.5)


    Sec. 4.5. Procedures to implement the rights of crime 
victims. To afford

prosecutors, judges and
corrections will provide information, 
as appropriate of the following
procedures:

    (a) At the request of the crime victim, law enforcement 
authorities
investigating the case shall provide notice of the 
status of the investigation,
except where the State's Attorney 
determines that disclosure of such
information would 
unreasonably interfere with the investigation, until such
time 
as the alleged assailant is apprehended or the investigation is 
closed.

    (b) The office of the State's Attorney:


        (1) shall provide notice of the filing of information, 
    the return of an
indictment by which a prosecution for any 
    violent crime is commenced, or the
filing of a petition to 
    adjudicate a minor as a delinquent for a violent
crime;


        (2) shall provide notice of the date, time, and place 
    of trial;

    property held by
law enforcement authorities for 
    evidentiary or other purposes returned as
expeditiously as 
    possible, pursuant to the procedures set out in Section 
    115-9
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963;


        (5) or victim advocate personnel shall provide 
    appropriate employer

    justice system in order to minimize an employee's loss of 
    pay and
other benefits resulting from court appearances;


        (6) shall provide information whenever possible, of a 
    secure waiting
area during court proceedings that does not 
    require victims to be in close
proximity to defendant or 
    juveniles accused of a violent crime, and their
families 
    and friends;


        (7) shall provide notice to the crime victim of the 
    right to have a
translator present at all court 
    proceedings;


        (8) in the case of the death of a person, which death 
    occurred in the same
transaction or occurrence in which 
    acts occurred for which a defendant is
charged with an 
    offense, shall notify the spouse, parent, child or sibling 
    of
the decedent of the date of the trial of the person or 
    persons allegedly
responsible for the death;


        (9) shall inform the victim of the right to have 
    present at all court
proceedings, subject to the rules of 
    evidence, an advocate or other support
person of the

    the
victim's own expense, who, upon written notice filed 
    with the clerk of the
court and State's Attorney, is to 
    receive copies of all notices, motions and
court orders 
    filed thereafter in the case, in the same manner as if the 
    victim
were a named party in the case; and


        (10) at the sentencing hearing shall make a good faith 
    attempt to explain
the minimum amount of time during which 
    the defendant may actually be
physically imprisoned.  The 
    Office of the State's Attorney shall further notify
the 
    crime victim of the right to request from the Prisoner 
    Review Board
information concerning the release of the 
    defendant under subparagraph (d)(1)
of this Section; and


        (11) shall request restitution at sentencing and shall 
    consider
restitution in any plea negotiation, as provided 
    by law.

    (c) At the written request of the crime victim, the office 
of the State's
Attorney shall:


        (1) provide notice a reasonable time in advance of the 
    following court
proceedings: preliminary hearing, any 
    hearing the effect of which may be the
release of defendant 
    from custody, or to alter the conditions of bond and the

    sentencing hearing.  The crime victim shall also be notified 
    of the
cancellation of the court proceeding in sufficient 
    time, wherever possible, to
prevent an unnecessary 
    appearance in court;


        (2) provide notice within a reasonable time after 
    receipt of notice from
the custodian, of the release of the 
    defendant on bail or personal recognizance
or the release

crime;


        (3) explain in nontechnical language the details of any 
    plea or verdict of
a defendant, or any adjudication of a 
    juvenile as a delinquent for a violent
crime;


        (4) where practical, consult with the crime victim 
    before the Office of
the State's Attorney makes an offer of 
    a plea bargain to the defendant or
enters into negotiations 
    with the defendant concerning a possible plea
agreement, 
    and shall consider the written victim impact statement, if 
    prepared
prior to entering into a plea agreement;


        (5) provide notice of the ultimate disposition of the 
    cases arising from
an indictment or an information, or a 
    petition to have a juvenile adjudicated
as a delinquent for 
    a violent crime;


        (6) provide notice of any appeal taken by the defendant 
    and information
on how to contact the appropriate agency 
    handling the appeal;


        (7) provide notice of any request for post-conviction 
    review filed by the
defendant under Article 122 of the Code 
    of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and of
the date, time and 
    place of any hearing concerning the petition.  Whenever

    possible, notice of the hearing shall be given in advance;


        (8) forward a copy of any statement presented under 
    Section 6 to the
Prisoner Review Board to be considered by 
    the Board in making its determination
under subsection (b) 
    of Section 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of Corrections.

    (d) (1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or 
any other
concerned citizen, upon written request, of the 
prisoner's release on parole,
mandatory supervised release, 
electronic detention, work release or by the
custodian of the 
discharge of any individual who was adjudicated a delinquent

for a violent crime from State custody and by the sheriff of 
the appropriate
county of any such person's final discharge 
from county custody.
The Prisoner Review Board, upon written 
request, shall provide to a victim or
any other concerned 
citizen a recent photograph of any person convicted of a

felony, upon his or her release from custody.
The Prisoner

Review Board, upon written request, shall inform a victim or 
any other
concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days prior 
to the prisoner's release
on furlough of the times and dates of 
such furlough.  Upon written request by
the victim or any other 
concerned citizen, the State's Attorney shall notify
the person 
once of the times and dates of release of a prisoner sentenced 
to
periodic imprisonment.  Notification shall be based on the 
most recent
information as to victim's or other concerned 
citizen's residence or other
location available to the 
notifying authority.
For purposes of this paragraph (1) of 
subsection (d), "concerned citizen"
includes relatives of the 
victim, friends of the victim, witnesses to the
crime, or any 
other person associated with the victim or prisoner.


        (2) When the defendant has been committed to the 
    Department of
Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or 
    any other
provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, the 
    victim may request to be
notified by the releasing 
    authority of the defendant's discharge from State
custody.


        (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the 
    Department of
Corrections or the Department of Juvenile 
    Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board 
    of the escape
and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify 
    the victim.  The notification shall
be based upon the most 
    recent information as to the victim's residence or other

    location available to the Board.  When no such information 
    is available, the
Board shall make all reasonable efforts 
    to obtain the information and make
the notification.  When 
    the escapee is apprehended, the Department of
Corrections 
    or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall 
    notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board

of Central Management 
    Services Law (20 ILCS 405/405-300).  The Department shall

        Pursuant to its power to establish new institutions and 
    facilities, the
Department may authorize the Department of 
    Central Management Services to

    prosecutions under the criminal laws of this State in 
    accordance with Section
5-805 of the Juvenile Court Act of

    investigate alleged violations
of a parolee's or 
    releasee's conditions of parole or release; and for this

    purpose it may issue subpoenas and compel the attendance of 
    witnesses and
the production of documents only if there is 
    reason to believe that such
procedures would provide 
    evidence that such violations have occurred.


        If any person fails to obey a subpoena issued under 
    this subsection,
the Director may apply to any circuit 
    court to secure compliance with the
subpoena.  The failure

in the report shall 
    be identified by inmate number or other designation to

    enable tracking, auditing, and verification without

    gang and any other person without the need to show cause or 
    satisfy
any other requirement of law before beginning the 
    monitoring, except as
constitutionally required. The 
    monitoring may be by video, voice, or other
method of 
    recording or by any other means.  As used in this 
    subdivision (1)(t),
"organized gang" has the meaning 
    ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang 
    Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.


        As used in this subdivision (1)(t), "unprivileged 
    conversation" or
"unprivileged communication" means a

services to be provided to persons committed to Department 
facilities by

organization.

    (4) When the Department lets bids for
contracts for food or 
commissary services to be provided to
Department facilities, 
the bid may only be let to a food or commissary
