|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 104-17 as follows:
| 6 | | (725 ILCS 5/104-17) (from Ch. 38, par. 104-17)
| 7 | | Sec. 104-17. Commitment for Treatment; Treatment Plan.
| 8 | | (a) If the defendant
is eligible to be or has been released | 9 | | on bail or on his own recognizance,
the court shall select the | 10 | | least physically restrictive form of treatment
therapeutically | 11 | | appropriate and consistent with the treatment plan.
| 12 | | (b) If the defendant's disability is mental, the court may | 13 | | order him placed
for treatment in the custody of the Department | 14 | | of Human Services, or the court may order him placed in
the | 15 | | custody of any other
appropriate public or private mental | 16 | | health facility or treatment program
which has agreed to | 17 | | provide treatment to the defendant. If the defendant
is placed | 18 | | in the custody of the Department of Human Services, the | 19 | | defendant shall be placed in a
secure setting unless the
court | 20 | | determines that
there are compelling reasons why such placement | 21 | | is not necessary. During
the period of time required to | 22 | | determine the appropriate placement the
defendant shall remain | 23 | | in jail if the period of time does not exceed 10 days. If the |
| | | HB1905 | - 2 - | LRB097 06774 RLC 46864 b |
|
| 1 | | appropriate placement has not been determined in the 10 day | 2 | | period, the sheriff shall transport the defendant to the | 3 | | closest mental health facility and that mental health facility | 4 | | shall accept the placement of the defendant . If upon the | 5 | | completion of the placement process the Department of Human | 6 | | Services determines that the defendant is currently fit to | 7 | | stand trial, it shall immediately notify the court and shall | 8 | | submit a written report within 7 days. In that circumstance the | 9 | | placement shall be held pending a court hearing on the | 10 | | Department's report. Otherwise, upon completion of the | 11 | | placement process, the
sheriff shall be notified and shall | 12 | | transport the defendant to the designated
facility. The | 13 | | placement may be ordered either on an inpatient or an | 14 | | outpatient
basis.
| 15 | | (c) If the defendant's disability is physical, the court | 16 | | may order him
placed under the supervision of the Department of | 17 | | Human
Services
which shall place and maintain the defendant in | 18 | | a suitable treatment facility
or program, or the court may | 19 | | order him placed in an appropriate public or
private facility | 20 | | or treatment program which has agreed to provide treatment
to | 21 | | the defendant. The placement may be ordered either on an | 22 | | inpatient or
an outpatient basis.
| 23 | | (d) The clerk of the circuit court shall transmit to the | 24 | | Department, agency
or institution, if any, to which the | 25 | | defendant is remanded for treatment, the

| 8 | | (5) all additional matters which the Court directs the | 9 | | clerk to transmit.
| 10 | | (e) Within 30 days of entry of an order to undergo | 11 | | treatment, the person
supervising the defendant's treatment | 12 | | shall file with the court, the State,
and the defense a report | 13 | | assessing the facility's or program's capacity
to provide | 14 | | appropriate treatment for the defendant and indicating his | 15 | | opinion
as to the probability of the defendant's attaining | 16 | | fitness within a period
of one year from the date of the | 17 | | finding of unfitness. If the report indicates
that there is a | 18 | | substantial probability that the defendant will attain fitness
| 19 | | within the time period, the treatment supervisor shall also | 20 | | file a treatment
plan which shall include:
| 21 | | (1) A diagnosis of the defendant's disability;
