15 The State Board of Education shall establish and implement
16 rules requiring all of the public schools and all private or
17 nonpublic elementary and secondary schools located in this
18 State, whenever any such school has a student who is
19 transferring to any other public elementary or secondary school
20 located in this or in any other state, to forward within 10
21 days of notice of the student's transfer an unofficial record

13 by the school from which the student is transferring, provided
14 that the school board may approve the placement of the student
15 in an alternative school program established under Article 13A
16 of this Code. A school district may adopt a policy providing
17 that if a student is suspended or expelled for any reason from
18 any public or private school in this or any other state, the
19 student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
20 expulsion before being admitted into the school district. This
21 policy may allow placement of the student in an alternative

1 and that contains the information about whether or not the
2 student is "in good standing" and whether or not his or her
3 medical records are up-to-date and complete. As used in this
4 Section, "in good standing" means that the student is not being
5 disciplined by a suspension or expulsion, but is entitled to
6 attend classes. No school district is required to admit a new
7 student who is transferring from another Illinois school
8 district unless he or she can produce the standard form from
9 the student's previous school district enrollment. No school
10 district is required to admit a new student who is transferring
11 from an out-of-state public school unless the parent or
12 guardian of the student certifies in writing that the student
13 is not currently serving a suspension or expulsion imposed by
14 the school from which the student is transferring.

16 Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
17     (ii) If after trial or plea the court finds that the minor
18 committed an offense not covered by paragraph (a) of this
19 subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the verdict
20 or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of this
21 State; however, unless the State requests a hearing for the
22 purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified
23 Code of Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections
24 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article. To request a hearing, the
25 State must file a written motion within 10 days following the
26 entry of a finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable
27 notice of the motion shall be given to the minor or his or her
28 counsel. If the motion is made by the State, the court shall
29 conduct a hearing to determine if whether the minor should be
30 sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
31 In making its determination, the court shall consider among
32 other matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense
33 was committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the
34 age of the minor; (c) the previous delinquent history of the

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 26 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

3 Corrections, Juvenile Division, for the treatment and
4 rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether the security of the
5 public requires sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code
6 of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor possessed a deadly
7 weapon when committing the offense. The rules of evidence shall
8 be the same as if at trial. If after the hearing the court
9 finds that the minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the
10 Unified Code of Corrections, then the court shall sentence the
11 minor accordingly having available to it any or all
12 dispositions so prescribed.
13     (6) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 5-120
14 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who, pursuant to
15 subsection (1), (2), or (3) or Section 5-805, or 5-810, has
16 previously been placed under the jurisdiction of the criminal
17 court and has been convicted of a crime under an adult criminal
18 or penal statute. Such a minor shall be subject to prosecution
19 under the criminal laws of this State.
20     (7) The procedures set out in this Article for the
21 investigation, arrest and prosecution of juvenile offenders
22 shall not apply to minors who are excluded from jurisdiction of
23 the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 17 years of age
24 shall be kept separate from confined adults.
25     (8) Nothing in this Act prohibits or limits the prosecution
26 of any minor for an offense committed on or after his or her
27 17th birthday even though he or she is at the time of the
28 offense a ward of the court.
29     (9) If an original petition for adjudication of wardship
30 alleges the commission by a minor 13 years of age or over of an
31 act that constitutes a crime under the laws of this State, the
32 minor, with the consent of his or her counsel, may, at any time
33 before commencement of the adjudicatory hearing, file with the
34 court a motion that criminal prosecution be ordered and that

1 the petition be dismissed insofar as the act or acts involved
2 in the criminal proceedings are concerned. If such a motion is
3 filed as herein provided, the court shall enter its order
4 accordingly.
5     (10) If a minor is subject to the provisions of subsection
6 (2) of this Section, other than a minor charged with a Class X
7 felony violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, any
8 party including the minor or the court sua sponte may, before
9 trial, move for a hearing for the purpose of trying and
10 sentencing the minor as a delinquent minor. To request a
11 hearing, the party must file a motion prior to trial.
12 Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all parties.
13 On its own motion or upon the filing of a motion by one of the
14 parties including the minor, the court shall conduct a hearing
15 to determine whether the minor should be tried and sentenced as
16 a delinquent minor under this Article. In making its
17 determination, the court shall consider among other matters:
18     (a) The age of the minor;
19     (b) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of the
20 minor;
21     (c) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the minor;
22     (d) Any mental health or educational history of the minor,
23 or both; and
24     (e) Whether there is probable cause to support the charge,
25 whether the minor is charged through accountability, and
26 whether there is evidence the minor possessed a deadly weapon
27 or caused serious bodily harm during the offense.
28     Any material that is relevant and reliable shall be
29 admissible at the hearing. In all cases, the judge shall enter
30 an order permitting prosecution under the criminal laws of
31 Illinois unless the judge makes a finding based on a
32 preponderance of the evidence that the minor would be amenable
33 to the care, treatment, and training programs available through
34 the facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of

5     Sec. 5-705. Sentencing hearing; evidence; continuance.
6     (1) At the sentencing hearing, the court shall determine
7 whether it is in the best interests of the minor or the public
8 that he or she be made a ward of the court, and, if he or she is
9 to be made a ward of the court, the court shall determine the
10 proper disposition best serving the interests of the minor and
11 the public. All evidence helpful in determining these
12 questions, including oral and written reports, may be admitted
13 and may be relied upon to the extent of its probative value,
14 even though not competent for the purposes of the trial. A
15 record of a prior continuance under supervision under Section
16 5-615, whether successfully completed or not, is admissible at
17 the sentencing hearing. No order of commitment to the
18 Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division,
19 shall be entered against a minor before a written report of
20 social investigation, which has been completed within the
21 previous 60 days, is presented to and considered by the court.
22     (2) Once a party has been served in compliance with Section
23 5-525, no further service or notice must be given to that party
24 prior to proceeding to a sentencing hearing. Before imposing
25 sentence the court shall advise the State's Attorney and the
26 parties who are present or their counsel of the factual
27 contents and the conclusions of the reports prepared for the
28 use of the court and considered by it, and afford fair
29 opportunity, if requested, to controvert them. Factual
30 contents, conclusions, documents and sources disclosed by the
31 court under this paragraph shall not be further disclosed
32 without the express approval of the court.
33     (3) On its own motion or that of the State's Attorney, a

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 29 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 parent, guardian, legal custodian, or counsel, the court may
2 adjourn the hearing for a reasonable period to receive reports
3 or other evidence and, in such event, shall make an appropriate
4 order for detention of the minor or his or her release from
5 detention subject to supervision by the court during the period
6 of the continuance. In the event the court shall order
7 detention hereunder, the period of the continuance shall not
8 exceed 30 court days. At the end of such time, the court shall
9 release the minor from detention unless notice is served at
10 least 3 days prior to the hearing on the continued date that
11 the State will be seeking an extension of the period of
12 detention, which notice shall state the reason for the request
13 for the extension. The extension of detention may be for a
14 maximum period of an additional 15 court days or a lesser
15 number of days at the discretion of the court. However, at the
16 expiration of the period of extension, the court shall release
17 the minor from detention if a further continuance is granted.
18 In scheduling investigations and hearings, the court shall give
19 priority to proceedings in which a minor is in detention or has
20 otherwise been removed from his or her home before a sentencing
21 order has been made.
22     (4) When commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice
23 Corrections, Juvenile Division, is ordered, the court shall
24 state the basis for selecting the particular disposition, and
25 the court shall prepare such a statement for inclusion in the
26 record.

29     Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders.
30     (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in
31 respect of wards of the court:
32         (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, 5-815,
33     a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may be:

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 30 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1             (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
2         released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
3         custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
4         is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
5         Corrections, Juvenile Division under this subsection
6         and who is found to be a delinquent for an offense
7         which is first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a
8         forcible felony shall be placed on probation;
9             (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
10         or without also being put on probation or conditional
11         discharge;
12             (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse
13         assessment conducted by a licensed provider and
14         participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
15             (iv) placed in the guardianship of the Department
16         of Children and Family Services, but only if the
17         delinquent minor is under 13 years of age;
18             (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
19         30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
20         or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
21         order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
22         provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
23         detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
24         years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
25         may be extended by further order of the court for a
26         minor under age 13 committed to the Department of
27         Children and Family Services if the court finds that
28         the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
29         shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
30         detention for time spent in detention under Sections
31         5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
32         result of the offense for which the sentencing order
33         was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
34         order of detention entered under a violation of

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 31 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1         probation or violation of conditional discharge under
2         Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
3         detention before the filing of the petition alleging
4         the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
5         for time spent in detention before the filing of a
6         violation of probation or conditional discharge
7         alleging the same or related act or acts;
8             (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
9         in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
10         of Mature Minors Act;
11             (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
12         or driving privileges suspended for such time as
13         determined by the court but only until he or she
14         attains 18 years of age;
15             (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
16         and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
17         Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
18         incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
19         of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
20         adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
21         upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
22         notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law; or
23             (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
24         procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a
25         street gang removed from his or her body.
26         (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
27     Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile
28     Division, under Section 5-750 if the minor is 13 years of
29     age or older, provided that the commitment to the
30     Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile
31     Division, shall be made only if a term of incarceration is
32     permitted by law for adults found guilty of the offense for
33     which the minor was adjudicated delinquent. The time during
34     which a minor is in custody before being released upon the

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 32 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1     request of a parent, guardian or legal custodian shall be
2     considered as time spent in detention.
3         (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
4     which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
5     Act or the Cannabis Control Act and made a ward of the
6     court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
7     the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
8     a substance abuse program approved by the Department of
9     Human Services.
10     (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
11 Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division,
12 may provide for protective supervision under Section 5-725 and
13 may include an order of protection under Section 5-730.
14     (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
15 does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
16 but is subject to modification until final closing and
17 discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
18     (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
19 any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
20 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
21 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
22 that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
23 shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
24 The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
25 ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
26 the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
27 Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
28 victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
29 Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
30 Parental Responsibility Law.
31     (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
32 placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
33 parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the
34 legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 33 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
2 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
3 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
4 Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
5     (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
6 attend school or participate in a program of training, the
7 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
8 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
9 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
10     (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
11 Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division
12 for a period of time in excess of that period for which an
13 adult could be committed for the same act.
14     (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
15 violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall
16 be ordered to perform community service for not less than 30
17 and not more than 120 hours, if community service is available
18 in the jurisdiction. The community service shall include, but
19 need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair of the damage
20 that was caused by the violation or similar damage to property
21 located in the municipality or county in which the violation
22 occurred. The order may be in addition to any other order
23 authorized by this Section.
24     (8.5) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
25 violation of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care
26 for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of Section
27 21-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 shall be ordered to undergo
28 medical or psychiatric treatment rendered by a psychiatrist or
29 psychological treatment rendered by a clinical psychologist.
30 The order may be in addition to any other order authorized by
31 this Section.
32     (9) In addition to any other sentencing order, the court
33 shall order any minor found to be guilty for an act which would
34 constitute, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child,

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 34 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault,
2 aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if
3 committed by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine
4 whether the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease
5 including a test for infection with human immunodeficiency
6 virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
7 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
8 shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
9 practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
10 as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
11 otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
12 kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
13 the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
14 envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
15 order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
16 in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
17 public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
18 whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
19 shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
20 with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
21 also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
22 victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's
23 parents or legal guardian, the court shall notify the victim's
24 parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for
25 infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The
26 court shall provide information on the availability of HIV
27 testing and counseling at the Department of Public Health
28 facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
29 are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
30 shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
31 the minor.
32     (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
33 shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
34 make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 35 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
2 organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
3 allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
4 subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
5 a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the Criminal Code
6 of 1961, or a violation of any statute that involved the
7 wrongful use of a firearm. If the court determines the question
8 in the affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to
9 the Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile
10 Division, the court shall order the minor to perform community
11 service for not less than 30 hours nor more than 120 hours,
12 provided that community service is available in the
13 jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the county board of
14 the county where the offense was committed. The community
15 service shall include, but need not be limited to, the cleanup
16 and repair of any damage caused by a violation of Section
17 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and similar damage to
18 property located in the municipality or county in which the
19 violation occurred. When possible and reasonable, the
20 community service shall be performed in the minor's
21 neighborhood. This order shall be in addition to any other
22 order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
23 the minor in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice
24 Corrections, Juvenile Division. For the purposes of this
25 Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
26 Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
27 Prevention Act.

1 when any delinquent has been adjudged a ward of the court under
2 this Act, the court may commit him or her to the Department of
3 Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division, if it finds
4 that (a) his or her parents, guardian or legal custodian are
5 unfit or are unable, for some reason other than financial
6 circumstances alone, to care for, protect, train or discipline
7 the minor, or are unwilling to do so, and the best interests of
8 the minor and the public will not be served by placement under
9 Section 5-740 or; (b) it is necessary to ensure the protection
10 of the public from the consequences of criminal activity of the
11 delinquent.
12     (2) When a minor of the age of at least 13 years is
13 adjudged delinquent for the offense of first degree murder, the

16 Corrections, Juvenile Division, until the minor's 21st
17 birthday, without the possibility of parole, furlough, or
18 non-emergency authorized absence for a period of 5 years from
19 the date the minor was committed to the Department of Juvenile
20 Justice Corrections, except that the time that a minor spent in
21 custody for the instant offense before being committed to the
22 Department of Juvenile Justice shall be considered as time
23 credited towards that 5 year period. Nothing in this subsection
24 (2) shall preclude the State's Attorney from seeking to
25 prosecute a minor as an adult as an alternative to proceeding
26 under this Act.
27     (3) Except as provided in subsection (2), the commitment of
28 a delinquent to the Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections
29 shall be for an indeterminate term which shall automatically
30 terminate upon the delinquent attaining the age of 21 years
31 unless the delinquent is sooner discharged from parole or
32 custodianship is otherwise terminated in accordance with this
33 Act or as otherwise provided for by law.
34     (4) When the court commits a minor to the Department of

2 conveyed forthwith to the appropriate reception station or
3 other place designated by the Department of Juvenile Justice
4 Corrections, and shall appoint the Assistant Director of
5 Juvenile Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division, legal
6 custodian of the minor. The clerk of the court shall issue to
7 the Assistant Director of Juvenile Justice Corrections,
8 Juvenile Division, a certified copy of the order, which
9 constitutes proof of the Director's authority. No other process
10 need issue to warrant the keeping of the minor.
11     (5) If a minor is committed to the Department of Juvenile
12 Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division, the clerk of the court
13 shall forward to the Department:
14         (a) the disposition ordered;

17     disposition; and
18         (d) all additional matters which the court directs the
19     clerk to transmit.
20     (6) Whenever the Department of Juvenile Justice
21 Corrections lawfully discharges from its custody and control a
22 minor committed to it, the Assistant Director of Juvenile
23 Justice Corrections, Juvenile Division, shall petition the
24 court for an order terminating his or her custodianship. The
25 custodianship shall terminate automatically 30 days after
26 receipt of the petition unless the court orders otherwise.

29     Sec. 5-815. Habitual Juvenile Offender.
30     (a) Definition. Any minor having been twice adjudicated a
31 delinquent minor for offenses which, had he been prosecuted as
32 an adult, would have been felonies under the laws of this
33 State, and who is thereafter adjudicated a delinquent minor for

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 38 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 a third time shall be adjudged an Habitual Juvenile Offender
2 where:
3         1. the third adjudication is for an offense occurring
4     after adjudication on the second; and
5         2. the second adjudication was for an offense occurring
6     after adjudication on the first; and
7         3. the third offense occurred after January 1, 1980;
8     and
9         4. the third offense was based upon the commission of
10     or attempted commission of the following offenses: first
11     degree murder, second degree murder or involuntary
12     manslaughter; criminal sexual assault or aggravated
13     criminal sexual assault; aggravated or heinous battery
14     involving permanent disability or disfigurement or great
15     bodily harm to the victim; burglary of a home or other
16     residence intended for use as a temporary or permanent
17     dwelling place for human beings; home invasion; robbery or
18     armed robbery; or aggravated arson.
19     Nothing in this Section shall preclude the State's Attorney
20 from seeking to prosecute a minor as an adult as an alternative
21 to prosecution as an habitual juvenile offender.
22     A continuance under supervision authorized by Section
23 5-615 of this Act shall not be permitted under this Section.
24     (b) Notice to minor. The State shall serve upon the minor
25 written notice of intention to prosecute under the provisions
26 of this Section within 5 judicial days of the filing of any
27 delinquency petition, adjudication upon which would mandate
28 the minor's disposition as an Habitual Juvenile Offender.
29     (c) Petition; service. A notice to seek adjudication as an
30 Habitual Juvenile Offender shall be filed only by the State's
31 Attorney.
32     The petition upon which such Habitual Juvenile Offender
33 notice is based shall contain the information and averments
34 required for all other delinquency petitions filed under this

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 39 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 Act and its service shall be according to the provisions of
2 this Act.
3     No prior adjudication shall be alleged in the petition.
4     (d)  Trial. Trial on such petition shall be by jury unless
5 the minor demands, in open court and with advice of counsel, a
6 trial by the court without jury.
7     Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this
8 Act concerning delinquency proceedings generally shall be
9 applicable to Habitual Juvenile Offender proceedings.
10     (e) Proof of prior adjudications. No evidence or other
11 disclosure of prior adjudications shall be presented to the
12 court or jury during any adjudicatory hearing provided for
13 under this Section unless otherwise permitted by the issues
14 properly raised in such hearing. In the event the minor who is
15 the subject of these proceedings elects to testify on his own
16 behalf, it shall be competent to introduce evidence, for
17 purposes of impeachment, that he has previously been
18 adjudicated a delinquent minor upon facts which, had he been
19 tried as an adult, would have resulted in his conviction of a
20 felony or of any offense that involved dishonesty or false
21 statement. Introduction of such evidence shall be according to
22 the rules and procedures applicable to the impeachment of an
23 adult defendant by prior conviction.
24     After an admission of the facts in the petition or
25 adjudication of delinquency, the State's Attorney may file with
26 the court a verified written statement signed by the State's
27 Attorney concerning any prior adjudication of an offense set
28 forth in subsection (a) of this Section which offense would
29 have been a felony or of any offense that involved dishonesty
30 or false statement had the minor been tried as an adult.
31     The court shall then cause the minor to be brought before
32 it; shall inform him of the allegations of the statement so
33 filed, and of his right to a hearing before the court on the
34 issue of such prior adjudication and of his right to counsel at

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 40 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 such hearing; and unless the minor admits such adjudication,
2 the court shall hear and determine such issue, and shall make a
3 written finding thereon.
4     A duly authenticated copy of the record of any such alleged
5 prior adjudication shall be prima facie evidence of such prior
6 adjudication or of any offense that involved dishonesty or
7 false statement.
8     Any claim that a previous adjudication offered by the
9 State's Attorney is not a former adjudication of an offense
10 which, had the minor been prosecuted as an adult, would have
11 resulted in his conviction of a felony or of any offense that
12 involved dishonesty or false statement, is waived unless duly
13 raised at the hearing on such adjudication, or unless the
14 State's Attorney's proof shows that such prior adjudication was
15 not based upon proof of what would have been a felony.
16     (f) Disposition. If the court finds that the prerequisites
17 established in subsection (a) of this Section have been proven,
18 it shall adjudicate the minor an Habitual Juvenile Offender and
19 commit him to the Department of Juvenile Justice Corrections,
20 Juvenile Division, until his 21st birthday, without
21 possibility of parole, furlough, or non-emergency authorized
22 absence. However, the minor shall be entitled to earn one day
23 of good conduct credit for each day served as reductions
24 against the period of his confinement. Such good conduct
25 credits shall be earned or revoked according to the procedures
26 applicable to the allowance and revocation of good conduct
27 credit for adult prisoners serving determinate sentences for
28 felonies.
29     For purposes of determining good conduct credit,
30 commitment as an Habitual Juvenile Offender shall be considered
31 a determinate commitment, and the difference between the date
32 of the commitment and the minor's 21st birthday shall be
33 considered the determinate period of his confinement.

9 firearm, and who is thereafter adjudicated a delinquent minor
10 for a second time for any of those offenses shall be
11 adjudicated a Violent Juvenile Offender if:
12         (1) The second adjudication is for an offense occurring
13     after adjudication on the first; and
14         (2) The second offense occurred on or after January 1,
15     1995.
16     (b) Notice to minor. The State shall serve upon the minor
17 written notice of intention to prosecute under the provisions
18 of this Section within 5 judicial days of the filing of a
19 delinquency petition, adjudication upon which would mandate
20 the minor's disposition as a Violent Juvenile Offender.
21     (c) Petition; service. A notice to seek adjudication as a
22 Violent Juvenile Offender shall be filed only by the State's
23 Attorney.

25 notice is based shall contain the information and averments
26 required for all other delinquency petitions filed under this
27 Act and its service shall be according to the provisions of
28 this Act.
29     No prior adjudication shall be alleged in the petition.
30     (d) Trial. Trial on the petition shall be by jury unless

1 provisions of this Act concerning delinquency proceedings
2 generally shall be applicable to Violent Juvenile Offender
3 proceedings.
4     (e) Proof of prior adjudications. No evidence or other
5 disclosure of prior adjudications shall be presented to the
6 court or jury during an adjudicatory hearing provided for under
7 this Section unless otherwise permitted by the issues properly
8 raised in that hearing. In the event the minor who is the
9 subject of these proceedings elects to testify on his or her
10 own behalf, it shall be competent to introduce evidence, for
11 purposes of impeachment, that he or she has previously been
12 adjudicated a delinquent minor upon facts which, had the minor
13 been tried as an adult, would have resulted in the minor's
14 conviction of a felony or of any offense that involved
15 dishonesty or false statement. Introduction of such evidence
16 shall be according to the rules and procedures applicable to
17 the impeachment of an adult defendant by prior conviction.
18     After an admission of the facts in the petition or
19 adjudication of delinquency, the State's Attorney may file with
20 the court a verified written statement signed by the State's
21 Attorney concerning any prior adjudication of an offense set
22 forth in subsection (a) of this Section that would have been a
23 felony or of any offense that involved dishonesty or false
24 statement had the minor been tried as an adult.
25     The court shall then cause the minor to be brought before
26 it; shall inform the minor of the allegations of the statement
27 so filed, of his or her right to a hearing before the court on
28 the issue of the prior adjudication and of his or her right to
29 counsel at the hearing; and unless the minor admits the
30 adjudication, the court shall hear and determine the issue, and
31 shall make a written finding of the issue.
32     A duly authenticated copy of the record of any alleged
33 prior adjudication shall be prima facie evidence of the prior
34 adjudication or of any offense that involved dishonesty or

 

 

09300HB0575sam002 - 43 - LRB093 05557 RLC 50577 a

1 false statement.
2     Any claim that a previous adjudication offered by the
3 State's Attorney is not a former adjudication of an offense
4 which, had the minor been prosecuted as an adult, would have
5 resulted in his or her conviction of a Class 2 or greater
6 felony involving the use or threat of force or violence, or a
7 firearm, a felony or of any offense that involved dishonesty or
8 false statement is waived unless duly raised at the hearing on
9 the adjudication, or unless the State's Attorney's proof shows
10 that the prior adjudication was not based upon proof of what
11 would have been a felony.
12     (f) Disposition. If the court finds that the prerequisites
13 established in subsection (a) of this Section have been proven,
14 it shall adjudicate the minor a Violent Juvenile Offender and
15 commit the minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice
16 Corrections, Juvenile Division, until his or her 21st birthday,
17 without possibility of parole, furlough, or non-emergency
18 authorized absence. However, the minor shall be entitled to
19 earn one day of good conduct credit for each day served as
20 reductions against the period of his or her confinement. The
21 good conduct credits shall be earned or revoked according to
22 the procedures applicable to the allowance and revocation of
23 good conduct credit for adult prisoners serving determinate
24 sentences for felonies.
25     For purposes of determining good conduct credit,
26 commitment as a Violent Juvenile Offender shall be considered a
27 determinate commitment, and the difference between the date of
28 the commitment and the minor's 21st birthday shall be
29 considered the determinate period of his or her confinement.
30     (g) Nothing in this Section shall preclude the State's
31 Attorney from seeking to prosecute a minor as a habitual
32 juvenile offender or as an adult as an alternative to
33 prosecution as a Violent Juvenile Offender.
34     (h) A continuance under supervision authorized by Section

18     reason to believe that such procedures would provide
19     evidence that such violations have occurred.
20         If any person fails to obey a subpoena issued under
21     this subsection, the Director may apply to any circuit

5 if it determines that:
6         (1) there is a substantial risk that he will not
7     conform to reasonable conditions of parole; or
8         (2) his release at that time would deprecate the
9     seriousness of his offense or promote disrespect for the
10     law; or
11         (3) his release would have a substantially adverse
12     effect on institutional discipline.
13     (d) A person committed under the Juvenile Court Act or the

19 for good behavior shall be released on parole to serve a period
20 of parole under Section 5-8-1.

26 it shall provide for a rehearing not less frequently than once
27 every year, except that the Board may, after denying parole,
28 schedule a rehearing no later than 3 years from the date of the
29 parole denial, if the Board finds that it is not reasonable to
30 expect that parole would be granted at a hearing prior to the
31 scheduled rehearing date. If the Board shall parole a person,
32 and, if he is not released within 90 days from the effective
33 date of the order granting parole, the matter shall be returned

11         revoked. The Board may also order that a prisoner serve

1     (c) A person charged with violating a condition of parole
2 or mandatory supervised release shall have a preliminary
3 hearing before a hearing officer designated by the Board to
4 determine if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation
5 hearing. However, no preliminary hearing need be held when
6 revocation is based upon new criminal charges and a court finds
7 probable cause on the new criminal charges or when the
8 revocation is based upon a new criminal conviction and a
9 certified copy of that conviction is available.
10     (d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
11 revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
12 the violation of parole or mandatory supervised release charged

3 Juvenile Division or be transferred to the Adult Division of
4 the Department of Corrections.
5     The minor shall be served with notice of the date of the
6 hearing, shall be present at the hearing, and has the right to
7 counsel at the hearing. The minor, with the consent of his or
8 her counsel or guardian may waive his presence at hearing.
9     (b) Unless sooner paroled under Section 3-3-3, the
10 confinement of a minor person committed for an indeterminate
11 sentence in a criminal proceeding shall terminate at the
12 expiration of the maximum term of imprisonment, and he shall
13 thereupon be released to serve a period of parole under Section
14 5-8-1, but if the maximum term of imprisonment does not expire
15 until after his 21st birthday, he shall continue to be subject
16 to the control and custody of the Department of Juvenile
17 Justice, and on his 21st birthday, he shall be transferred to
18 the Adult Division of the Department of Corrections. If such
19 person is on parole on his 21st birthday, his parole

21 Department of Corrections.
22     (c) Any interdivisional transfer hearing conducted
23 pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shall consider all
24 available information which may bear upon the issue of
25 transfer. All evidence helpful to the court in determining the
26 question of transfer, including oral and written reports
27 containing hearsay, may be relied upon to the extent of its
28 probative value, even though not competent for the purposes of
29 an adjudicatory hearing. The court shall consider, along with

12 and an assessment of the vocational potential of the minor.
13     5. An assessment of the necessity for transfer of the
14 minor, including, but not limited to, the availability of space
15 within the Department of Corrections, the disciplinary and
16 security problem which the minor has presented to the

22 programs within the Department of Corrections, and the
23 anticipated ability of the minor to adjust to confinement
24 within an adult institution based upon the minor's physical
25 size and maturity.
26     All relevant factors considered under this subsection need
27 not be resolved against the juvenile in order to justify such
28 transfer. Access to social records, probation reports or any
29 other reports which are considered by the court for the purpose
30 of transfer shall be made available to counsel for the juvenile
31 at least 30 days prior to the date of the transfer hearing. The

13 transfer no later than 3 days after the emergency transfer.
14 Upon motion brought within 60 days of the emergency transfer by
15 the sentencing court or any party, the sentencing court may
