Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(730 ILCS 5/3-10-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-10-5)
Sec. 3-10-5. Transfers to the Department of Human Services.
(a) If a person committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice meets the
standard for admission of a minor to a mental health facility or is suitable
for admission to a developmental disability facility, as these terms are
used in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, the
Department may transfer the person to an appropriate State
hospital or institution of the Department of Human Services
for a period not to exceed 6 months, if the person consents in writing to
the transfer. The person shall be advised of his right not to consent, and
if he does not consent, the transfer may be effected only by
commitment under paragraph (e) of this Section.
(b) The parent, guardian or nearest relative and the attorney of record
shall be advised of his right to object. If an
objection is made, the
transfer may be effected only by commitment under paragraph (e) of this
Section. Notice of the transfer shall be mailed to the person's parent,
guardian or nearest relative marked for delivery to addressee only at his
last known address by certified mail with return receipt requested together
with written notification of the manner and time within which he may object
to the transfer. Objection to the transfer must be made by
the parent, guardian
or nearest relative within 15 days of receipt of the notification of
transfer, by written notice of the objection to the Director of Juvenile Justice or
chief administrative officer of the institution or facility of the
Department of Juvenile Justice where the person was confined.

(d) Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of the Director
of Juvenile Justice or the chief administrative officer of any institution
or facility to utilize the emergency admission provisions of the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Code with respect to any person in
his custody or care. The transfer of a person to an institution or facility
of the Department of Human Services under
paragraph (a) of this Section does not discharge the person from the control
of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
(e) If the person does not consent to his transfer to the Department of
Human Services or if a
person objects under paragraph (b) of this Section, or if the Department of
Human Services determines
that a transferred person requires
admission to the Department of Human Services
for more than 6 months for any reason, the Director of Juvenile Justice shall file a petition in the circuit court of the county in which
the institution or facility is located requesting admission of the person
to the Department of Human Services. A
certificate of a clinical psychologist, licensed clinical social
worker who is a qualified examiner as defined in Section 1-122 of the
Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, or psychiatrist,
or, if admission to
a developmental disability facility is sought, of a physician that the
person is in need of commitment to the Department of Human Services for treatment or habilitation
shall be attached
to the petition. Copies of the petition shall be furnished to the named
person, his parent, or guardian or nearest relative, the committing
court, and to the state's attorneys of the county in which the institution
or facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice from which the person was transferred
is located and the county from which the named person was committed to
the Department of Juvenile Justice.
(f) The court shall set a date for a hearing on the petition within the
time limit set forth in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
Code. The hearing shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. If the person is found to be
in need of commitment to the Department of Human Services for treatment or
habilitation, the court may
commit him to
that Department.
(g) In the event that a person committed to the Department under the
Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is committed to facilities
of the Department of Human Services under paragraph (e) of this Section, the
Director of Juvenile Justice shall petition the committing juvenile court for an
order terminating the Director's custody.
