14    years of age or over of an act that constitutes a crime

3listed in this subsection.
4    (2) Procedures for extended jurisdiction juvenile
5prosecutions. The State's Attorney may file a written motion
6for a proceeding to be designated as an extended juvenile
7jurisdiction prior to commencement of trial. Notice of the
8motion shall be in compliance with Section 5-530. When the
9State's Attorney files a written motion that a proceeding be
10designated an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the
11court shall commence a hearing within 30 days of the filing of
12the motion for designation, unless good cause is shown by the
13prosecution or the minor as to why the hearing could not be
14held within this time period. If the court finds good cause has
15been demonstrated, then the hearing shall be held within 60
16days of the filing of the motion. The hearings shall be open to
17the public unless the judge finds that the hearing should be
18closed for the protection of any party, victim or witness. If
19the Juvenile Judge assigned to hear and determine a motion to
20designate an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution
21determines that there is probable cause to believe that the
22allegations in the petition and motion are true the court
23shall grant the motion for designation. Information used by
24the court in its findings or stated in or offered in connection
25with this Section may be by way of proffer based on reliable
26information offered by the State or the minor. All evidence

 

 

HB3414 Engrossed- 11 -LRB103 30107 RLC 56531 b

1shall be admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless
2of whether it would be admissible under the rules of evidence.
3    (3) Trial. A minor who is subject of an extended
4jurisdiction juvenile prosecution has the right to trial by
5jury. Any trial under this Section shall be open to the public.
6    (4) Sentencing. If an extended jurisdiction juvenile
7prosecution under subsection (1) results in a guilty plea, a
8verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilt, the court shall
9impose the following:
10        (i) one or more juvenile sentences under Section
11    5-710; and
12        (ii) an adult criminal sentence in accordance with the
13    provisions of Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of
14    Corrections, the execution of which shall be stayed on the
15    condition that the offender not violate the provisions of
16    the juvenile sentence.
17Any sentencing hearing under this Section shall be open to the
18public.
19    (5) If, after an extended jurisdiction juvenile
20prosecution trial, a minor is convicted of a lesser-included
21offense or of an offense that the State's Attorney did not
22designate as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution,
23the State's Attorney may file a written motion, within 10 days
24of the finding of guilt, that the minor be sentenced as an
25extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution offender. The court
26shall rule on this motion using the factors found in paragraph

 

 

HB3414 Engrossed- 12 -LRB103 30107 RLC 56531 b

1(1)(b) of Section 5-805. If the court denies the State's
2Attorney's motion for sentencing under the extended
3jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the court shall
4proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
5    (6) When it appears that a minor convicted in an extended
6jurisdiction juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) has
7violated the conditions of his or her sentence, or is alleged
8to have committed a new offense upon the filing of a petition
9to revoke the stay, the court may, without notice, issue a
10warrant for the arrest of the minor. After a hearing, if the
11court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the minor
12committed a new offense, the court shall order execution of
13the previously imposed adult criminal sentence. After a
14hearing, if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence
15that the minor committed a violation of his or her sentence
16other than by a new offense, the court may order execution of
17the previously imposed adult criminal sentence or may continue
18him or her on the existing juvenile sentence with or without
19modifying or enlarging the conditions. Upon revocation of the
20stay of the adult criminal sentence and imposition of that
21sentence, the minor's extended jurisdiction juvenile status
22shall be terminated. The on-going jurisdiction over the
23minor's case shall be assumed by the adult criminal court and
24juvenile court jurisdiction shall be terminated and a report
25of the imposition of the adult sentence shall be sent to the
26Department of State Police.

 

 

HB3414 Engrossed- 13 -LRB103 30107 RLC 56531 b

1    (7) Upon successful completion of the juvenile sentence
2the court shall vacate the adult criminal sentence.
3    (8) Nothing in this Section precludes the State from
4filing a motion for transfer under Section 5-805.
