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 5/3-10-11) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-10-11)
    Sec. 3-10-11. Transfers from Department of Children and Family Services.
    (a) If (i) a minor 10 years of age or older is adjudicated a delinquent under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and placed with the Department of Children and Family Services, (ii) it is determined by an interagency review committee that the Department of Children and Family Services lacks adequate facilities to care for and rehabilitate such minor and that placement of such minor with the Department of Juvenile Justice, subject to certification by the Department of Juvenile Justice, is appropriate, and (iii) the Department of Juvenile Justice certifies that it has suitable facilities and personnel available for the confinement of the minor, the Department of Children and Family Services may transfer custody of the minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice provided that:
        (1) the juvenile court that adjudicated the minor a
    
delinquent orders the transfer after a hearing with opportunity to the minor to be heard and defend; and
        (2) the Director of Juvenile Justice is made a party
    
to the action; and
        (3) notice of such transfer is given to the minor's
    
parent, guardian or nearest relative; and
        (4) a term of incarceration is permitted by law for
    
adults found guilty of the offense for which the minor was adjudicated delinquent.
    The interagency review committee shall include a representative from the Department of Children and Family Services, a representative from the Department of Juvenile Justice, and an educator and a qualified mental health professional jointly selected by the Department of Children and Family Services and the Department of Juvenile Justice. The Department of Children and Family Services, in consultation with the Department of Juvenile Justice, shall promulgate rules governing the operation of the interagency review committee pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
    (b) Guardianship of a minor transferred under this Section shall remain with the Department of Children and Family Services.
    (c) Minors transferred under this Section may be placed by the Department of Juvenile Justice in any program or facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice, or any juvenile residential facility.
    (d) A minor transferred under this Section shall remain in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice until the Department of Juvenile Justice determines that the minor is ready to leave its program. The Department of Juvenile Justice in consultation with the Department of Children and Family Services shall develop a transition plan and cooperate with the Department of Children and Family Services to move the minor to an alternate program. Thirty days before implementing the transition plan, the Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide the court with notice of the plan. The Department of Juvenile Justice's custodianship of the minor shall automatically terminate 30 days after notice is provided to the court and the State's Attorney.
    (e) In no event shall a minor transferred under this Section remain in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess of that period for which an adult could be committed for the same act.
