1    AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
5amended by changing Sections 104-15, 104-17, 104-18, 104-20,
6104-21, 104-23, and 104-31 as follows:
 
7    (725 ILCS 5/104-15)  (from Ch. 38, par. 104-15)
8    Sec. 104-15. Report.) (a) The person or persons conducting
9an examination of the defendant, pursuant to paragraph (a) or
10(b) of Section 104-13 shall submit a written report to the
11court, the State, and the defense within 30 days of the date of
12the order. The report shall include:
13    (1) A diagnosis and an explanation as to how it was reached
14and the facts upon which it is based;
15    (2) A description of the defendant's mental or physical
16disability, if any; its severity; and an opinion as to whether
17and to what extent it impairs the defendant's ability to
18understand the nature and purpose of the proceedings against
19him or to assist in his defense, or both.
20    (b) If the report indicates that the defendant is not fit
21to stand trial or to plead because of a disability, the report
22shall include an opinion as to the likelihood of the defendant
23attaining fitness within one year if provided with a course of

 

 

SB2801 Enrolled- 2 -LRB098 17630 MRW 52743 b

1treatment. If the person or persons preparing the report are
2unable to form such an opinion, the report shall state the
3reasons therefor. The report may include a general description
4of the type of treatment needed and of the least physically
5restrictive form of treatment therapeutically appropriate.
6    (c) The report shall indicate what information, if any,
7contained therein may be harmful to the mental condition of the
8defendant if made known to him.
9    (d) In addition to the report, a person retained or
10appointed by the State or the defense to conduct an examination
11shall, upon written request, make his or her notes, other
12evaluations reviewed or relied upon by the testifying witness,
13and any videotaped interviews available to another examiner of
14the defendant. All forensic interviews conducted by a person
15retained or appointed by the State or the defense shall be
16videotaped unless doing so would be impractical. In the event
17that the interview is not videotaped, the examiner may still
18testify as to the person's fitness and the court may only
19consider the lack of compliance in according the weight and not
20the admissibility of the expert testimony. An examiner may use
21these materials as part of his or her diagnosis and explanation
22but shall not otherwise disclose the contents, including at a
23hearing before the court, except as otherwise provided in
24Section 104-14 of this Code.

14Department of Human Services, may be placed in security devices
15or otherwise secured during the period of transportation to
16assure secure transport of the defendant and the safety of
17Department of Human Services personnel and others. These
18security measures shall not constitute restraint as defined in

17    Sec. 5-2-4. Proceedings after Acquittal by Reason of
18Insanity.
19    (a) After a finding or verdict of not guilty by reason of
20insanity under Sections 104-25, 115-3 or 115-4 of the Code of
21Criminal Procedure of 1963, the defendant shall be ordered to
22the Department of Human Services for an evaluation as to

24shall specify whether the evaluation shall be conducted on an

 

 

SB2801 Enrolled- 14 -LRB098 17630 MRW 52743 b

1inpatient or outpatient basis. If the evaluation is to be
2conducted on an inpatient basis, the defendant shall be placed
3in a secure setting unless the Court determines that there are
4compelling reasons why such placement is not necessary. With
5the court order for evaluation shall be sent a copy of the
6arrest report, criminal charges, arrest record, jail record,
7any report prepared under Section 115-6 of the Code of Criminal
8Procedure of 1963, and any victim impact statement prepared
9under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses
10Act. After the evaluation and during the period of time
11required to determine the appropriate placement, the defendant
12shall remain in jail. Individualized placement evaluations by
13the Department of Human Services determine the most appropriate
14setting for forensic treatment based upon a number of factors
15including mental health diagnosis, proximity to surviving
16victims, security need, age, gender, and proximity to family.
17Upon completion of the placement process the sheriff shall be
18notified and shall transport the defendant to the designated
19facility.
20    The Department shall provide the Court with a report of its
21evaluation within 30 days of the date of this order. The Court
22shall hold a hearing as provided under the Mental Health and
23Developmental Disabilities Code to determine if the individual
24is: (a) in need of mental health services on an inpatient
25basis; (b) in need of mental health services on an outpatient
26basis; (c) a person not in need of mental health services. The

1Court shall enter its findings.
2    If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
3services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
4defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
5shall be placed in a secure setting unless the Court determines
6that there are compelling reasons why such placement is not
7necessary. Such defendants placed in a secure setting shall not
8be permitted outside the facility's housing unit unless
9escorted or accompanied by personnel of the Department of Human
10Services or with the prior approval of the Court for
11unsupervised on-grounds privileges as provided herein. Any
12defendant placed in a secure setting pursuant to this Section,

16secured during the period of transportation to assure secure
17transport of the defendant and the safety of Department of
18Human Services personnel and others. These security measures
19shall not constitute restraint as defined in the Mental Health
20and Developmental Disabilities Code. If the defendant is found
21to be in need of mental health services, but not on an
22inpatient care basis, the Court shall conditionally release the
23defendant, under such conditions as set forth in this Section
24as will reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory
25progress and participation in treatment or rehabilitation and

8    reasonably expected to inflict serious physical harm upon
9    himself or another and who would benefit from inpatient
10    care or is in need of inpatient care.
11        (C) "In need of mental health services on an outpatient
12    basis" means: a defendant who has been found not guilty by
13    reason of insanity who is not in need of mental health
14    services on an inpatient basis, but is in need of

22    Court may impose which reasonably assure the defendant's
23    satisfactory progress in treatment or habilitation and the
24    safety of the defendant and others. The Court shall
25    consider such terms and conditions which may include, but

17    under this Section and provide periodic reports to the
18    Court concerning the services and the condition of the
19    defendant. Whenever a person is conditionally released
20    pursuant to this Section, the State's Attorney for the
21    county in which the hearing is held shall designate in
22    writing the name, telephone number, and address of a person
23    employed by him or her who shall be notified in the event
24    that either the reporting agency or the Department decides

8    the provisions of paragraph (a), this paragraph (a-1), and
9    paragraph (f) of this Section, shall determine whether the
10    defendant should continue to be subject to the terms of
11    conditional release, and shall enter an order either
12    extending the defendant's period of conditional release
13    for an additional 5 year period or discharging the
14    defendant. Additional 5-year periods of conditional

16    this Section. However, in no event shall the defendant's
17    period of conditional release continue beyond the maximum

12of a defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of insanity
13shall be for an indefinite period of time. Such period of

15defendant would have been required to serve, less credit for
16good behavior as provided in Section 5-4-1 of the Unified Code
17of Corrections, before becoming eligible for release had he
18been convicted of and received the maximum sentence for the
19most serious crime for which he has been acquitted by reason of
20insanity. The Court shall determine the maximum period of
21commitment by an appropriate order. During this period of time,
22the defendant shall not be permitted to be in the community in
23any manner, including but not limited to off-grounds

3discharge. Not more than 30 days after admission and every 60
4days thereafter so long as the initial order remains in effect,
5the facility director shall file a treatment plan report in
6writing with the court and forward a copy of the treatment plan

12an opinion as to whether the defendant is currently in need of
13mental health services on an inpatient basis or in need of
14mental health services on an outpatient basis. The report shall
15also summarize the basis for those findings and provide a
16current summary of the following items from the treatment plan:
17(1) an assessment of the defendant's treatment needs, (2) a
18description of the services recommended for treatment, (3) the
19goals of each type of element of service, (4) an anticipated
20timetable for the accomplishment of the goals, and (5) a
21designation of the qualified professional responsible for the
22implementation of the plan. The report may also include
23unsupervised on-grounds privileges, off-grounds privileges
24(with or without escort by personnel of the Department of Human
25Services), home visits and participation in work programs, but
26only where such privileges have been approved by specific court

11    defender or an attorney licensed by this State.

13    of legal services rendered by the private attorney
14    appointed pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
15    Court shall determine a reasonable fee for such services.
16    If the defendant is unable to pay the fee, the Court shall
17    enter an order upon the State to pay the entire fee or such
18    amount as the defendant is unable to pay from funds
19    appropriated by the General Assembly for that purpose.
20    (d) When the facility director determines that:
21        (1) the defendant is no longer in need of mental health
22    services on an inpatient basis; and
23        (2) the defendant may be conditionally released
24    because he or she is still in need of mental health
25    services or that the defendant may be discharged as not in
26    need of any mental health services; or

 

 

SB2801 Enrolled- 22 -LRB098 17630 MRW 52743 b

1        (3) (blank); the defendant no longer requires
2    placement in a secure setting;
3the facility director shall give written notice to the Court,
4State's Attorney and defense attorney. Such notice shall set
5forth in detail the basis for the recommendation of the
6facility director, and specify clearly the recommendations, if

11that the defendant will continue to receive psychotropic
12medication following discharge, and what provisions should be
13made to assure the safety of the defendant and others in the
14event the defendant is no longer receiving psychotropic
15medication. Within 30 days of the notification by the facility

21Human Services shall be ordered, and the report considered at
22the time of the hearing.
23    (g) The findings of the Court shall be established by clear

SB2801 Enrolled- 24 -LRB098 17630 MRW 52743 b

1review a petition filed by or on behalf of the defendant. The
2evidence shall be presented in open Court with the right of
3confrontation and cross-examination. Such evidence may
4include, but is not limited to:

6    by the defendant to others and the community by his or her
7    prior conduct that resulted in the finding of not guilty by

10    conduct similar to the conduct for which he or she was
11    originally charged in this matter;
12        (3) the current state of the defendant's illness;
13        (4) what, if any, medications the defendant is taking
14    to control his or her mental illness;

1    family to participate or be involved;
2        (11) the defendant's potential to be a danger to

1basis, it shall order the facility director not to discharge or
2release the defendant in accordance with paragraph (b) of this
3Section.
4    (i) If within the period of the defendant's conditional
5release the State's Attorney determines that the defendant has
6not fulfilled the conditions of his or her release, the State's
7Attorney may petition the Court to revoke or modify the
8conditional release of the defendant. Upon the filing of such
9petition the defendant may be remanded to the custody of the
10Department, or to any other mental health facility designated
11by the Department, pending the resolution of the petition.
12Nothing in this Section shall prevent the emergency admission
13of a defendant pursuant to Article VI of Chapter III of the
14Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the
15voluntary admission of the defendant pursuant to Article IV of
16Chapter III of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
17Code. If the Court determines, after hearing evidence, that the
18defendant has not fulfilled the conditions of release, the
19Court shall order a hearing to be held consistent with the
20provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of this Section. At such
21hearing, if the Court finds that the defendant is in need of
22mental health services on an inpatient basis, it shall enter an
23order remanding him or her to the Department of Human Services
24or other facility. If the defendant is remanded to the
25Department of Human Services, he or she shall be placed in a
26secure setting unless the Court determines that there are

 

 

SB2801 Enrolled- 27 -LRB098 17630 MRW 52743 b

1compelling reasons that such placement is not necessary. If the
2Court finds that the defendant continues to be in need of
3mental health services but not on an inpatient basis, it may
4modify the conditions of the original release in order to
5reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
6treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in
7accordance with the standards established in paragraph (D) of
8subsection (a-1). Nothing in this Section shall limit a Court's
9contempt powers or any other powers of a Court.
10    (j) An order of admission under this Section does not
11affect the remedy of habeas corpus.
12    (k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the
13Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the Mental
14Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
15provisions of this Section shall govern.
16    (l) This amendatory Act shall apply to all persons who have
17been found not guilty by reason of insanity and who are
18presently committed to the Department of Mental Health and
19Developmental Disabilities (now the Department of Human
20Services).
21    (m) The Clerk of the Court shall, after the entry of an
22order of transfer to a non-secure setting of the Department of
23Human Services or discharge or conditional release, transmit a
24certified copy of the order to the Department of Human
