for the safety of the defendant and | 17 | | others or provide
reasonable assurances that the defendant can | 18 | | be restored to
fitness on an outpatient basis, or (2) that | 19 | | clinically

which has agreed to provide | 7 | | treatment to the defendant. Unless there are no beds available | 8 | | in a
State-operated facility, the defendant shall be placed in | 9 | | such
a facility. If the court determines that placement on an
| 10 | | outpatient basis is appropriate, the court shall order the
| 11 | | defendant placed in the custody of any appropriate public or
| 12 | | private outpatient treatment program which has been approved
| 13 | | by the Department of Human Services and has agreed to provide
| 14 | | treatment to the defendant. | 15 | | (b) If the defendant is in custody and If the most serious | 16 | | charge faced by the defendant is a misdemeanor, the court | 17 | | shall order outpatient treatment, unless the court finds good | 18 | | cause on the record to order inpatient treatment. If the court | 19 | | orders the defendant to inpatient treatment in the custody of | 20 | | the Department of Human Services, the Department shall | 21 | | evaluate the defendant to determine the most appropriate | 22 | | secure facility to receive the defendant and, within 20 days | 23 | | of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the | 24 | | court's placement order, notify the court of the designated | 25 | | facility to receive the defendant. The Department shall admit | 26 | | the defendant to a secure facility within 60 days of the |
| | | HB3764 | - 3 - | LRB103 27307 RLC 53678 b |
|
| 1 | | transmittal of the court's placement order, unless the | 2 | | Department can demonstrate good faith efforts at placement and | 3 | | a lack of bed and placement availability. If placement cannot | 4 | | be made within 60 days of the transmittal of the court's | 5 | | placement order and the Department has demonstrated good faith | 6 | | efforts at placement and a lack of bed and placement | 7 | | availability, the Department shall provide an update to the | 8 | | ordering court every 30 days until the defendant is placed. | 9 | | Once bed and placement availability is determined, the | 10 | | Department shall notify the sheriff who shall promptly | 11 | | transport the defendant to the designated facility. If the | 12 | | defendant
is placed in the custody of the Department of Human | 13 | | Services, the defendant shall be placed in a
secure setting. | 14 | | During
the period of time required to determine bed and | 15 | | placement availability at the designated facility, the
| 16 | | defendant shall remain in jail. If during the course of | 17 | | evaluating the defendant for placement, the Department of | 18 | | Human Services determines that the defendant is currently fit | 19 | | to stand trial, it shall immediately notify the court and | 20 | | shall submit a written report within 7 days. In that | 21 | | circumstance the placement shall be held pending a court | 22 | | hearing on the Department's report. Otherwise, upon completion | 23 | | of the placement process, including identifying bed and | 24 | | placement availability, the
sheriff shall be notified and | 25 | | shall transport the defendant to the designated
facility. If, | 26 | | within 60 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit |

The | 7 | | Department shall respond to the sheriff within 2 business days | 8 | | of the notice and inquiry by the sheriff seeking the transfer | 9 | | and the Department shall provide the sheriff with the status | 10 | | of the evaluation, information on bed and placement | 11 | | availability, and an estimated date of admission for the | 12 | | defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission. | 13 | | If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business | 14 | | day period of a facility operated by the Department with | 15 | | placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport | 16 | | the defendant to that facility. If the Department determines
| 17 | | that a defendant, who has been placed in the Department's
| 18 | | custody for treatment on an inpatient basis, can be treated on
| 19 | | an outpatient basis, the Department shall provide written
| 20 | | notification to the court, the State's Attorney, and counsel
| 21 | | for the defendant of that determination, which notification | 22 | | shall

| 23 | | determination. If the court determines: (1) that outpatient
| 24 | | treatment will provide reasonable assurances for the safety of | 25 | | the defendant and others and provides reasonable assurances

| 12 | | defendant fails to report to the facility, the Department
| 13 | | shall notify the sheriff who shall transport the defendant to
| 14 | | the designated facility. If the defendant's disability is | 15 | | physical, the court may order him
placed under the supervision | 16 | | of the Department of Human
Services
which shall place and | 17 | | maintain the defendant in a suitable treatment facility
or | 18 | | program, or the court may order him placed in an appropriate | 19 | | public or
