 1        AN ACT concerning schools, amending named Acts.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  School  Code  is  amended  by changing
 5    Section 10-27.1A as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/10-27.1A)
 7        Sec. 10-27.1A.  Reporting Firearms in schools.
 8        (a)  All school officials, including  teachers,  guidance
 9    counselors,  and  support staff, shall immediately notify the
10    office of the principal in the event that  they  observe  any
11    person in possession of a firearm on school grounds; provided
12    that taking such immediate action to notify the office of the
13    principal  would not immediately endanger the health, safety,
14    or welfare of students who are under the  direct  supervision
15    of  the  school  official  or  the  school  official.  If the
16    health, safety, or  welfare  of  students  under  the  direct
17    supervision  of the school official or of the school official
18    is immediately endangered, the school official  shall  notify
19    the office of the principal as soon as the students under his
20    or  her  supervision  and  he  or  she  are  no  longer under
21    immediate danger.  A report is not required by  this  Section
22    when  the school official knows that the person in possession
23    of the firearm is a law enforcement official engaged  in  the
24    conduct  of  his  or her official duties. Any school official
25    acting in good faith who  makes  such  a  report  under  this
26    Section  shall  have  immunity  from  any  civil  or criminal
27    liability that might otherwise be incurred  as  a  result  of
28    making  the  report.   The  identity  of  the school official
29    making such report shall not be disclosed except as expressly
30    and specifically authorized by law.  Knowingly and  willfully
31    failing  to  comply  with this Section is a petty offense.  A
 
SB756 Engrossed             -2-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    second or subsequent offense is a Class C misdemeanor.
 2        (b)  Upon receiving a report  from  any  school  official
 3    pursuant  to  this  Section,  or  from  any other person, the
 4    principal or his or her designee shall immediately  notify  a
 5    local  law  enforcement agency.  If the person found to be in
 6    possession of a firearm on school grounds is a  student,  the
 7    principal  or  his  or  her  designee  shall also immediately
 8    notify that student's parent or guardian.  Any  principal  or
 9    his  or  her  designee  acting  in  good faith who makes such
10    reports under this Section shall have immunity from any civil
11    or criminal liability that might  otherwise  be  incurred  or
12    imposed  as  a  result  of making the reports.  Knowingly and
13    willfully failing to comply with  this  Section  is  a  petty
14    offense.   A  second  or  subsequent  offense  is  a  Class C
15    misdemeanor. If the person found to be in possession  of  the
16    firearm  on  school  grounds  is a minor, the law enforcement
17    agency shall detain that minor until such time as the  agency
18    makes  a  determination  pursuant to clause (a) of subsection
19    (1) of Section 5-401 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, as to
20    whether the agency reasonably  believes  that  the  minor  is
21    delinquent.   If  the  law enforcement agency determines that
22    probable cause exists to believe that the minor  committed  a
23    violation  of  item  (4) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of
24    the Criminal Code of 1961 while on school grounds, the agency
25    shall detain the minor for  processing  pursuant  to  Section
26    5-407 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
27        (c)  On  or  after  January  1, 1997, upon receipt of any
28    written,  electronic,  or  verbal  report  from  any   school
29    personnel  regarding  a verified incident involving a firearm
30    in a school or on school owned or leased property,  including
31    any  conveyance  owned, leased, or used by the school for the
32    transport of students or school personnel, the superintendent
33    or his or her designee shall report all such  firearm-related
34    incidents  occurring in a school or on school property to the
 
SB756 Engrossed             -3-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    local law enforcement authorities immediately no  later  than
 2    24  hours  after  the  occurrence  of the incident and to the
 3    Department of State Police in a form, manner,  and  frequency
 4    as prescribed by the Department of State Police.
 5        The  State  Board  of  Education  shall receive an annual
 6    statistical compilation  and  related  data  associated  with
 7    incidents  involving  firearms in schools from the Department
 8    of State Police.
 9        (d)  As used in this Section, the  term  "firearm"  shall
10    have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1.1 of the Firearm
11    Owners Identification Card Act.
12        As  used  in  this  Section,  the term "school" means any
13    public or private elementary or secondary school.
14        As used  in  this  Section,  the  term  "school  grounds"
15    includes   the  real  property  comprising  any  school,  any
16    conveyance owned,  leased,  or  contracted  by  a  school  to
17    transport  students  to  or  from  school or a school-related
18    activity, or any public way within 1,000  feet  of  the  real
19    property comprising any school.

21        Section 10.  The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
22    adding Section 5-407 as follows:

23        (705 ILCS 405/5-407 new)
24        Sec.  5-407.  Processing  of  juvenile in possession of a
25    firearm.
26        (a)  If  a  law  enforcement  officer  detains  a   minor
27    pursuant  to Section 10-27.1A of the School Code, the officer
28    shall deliver the minor to the nearest juvenile  officer,  in
29    the  manner  prescribed by subsection (2) of Section 5-405 of
30    this Act.  The  juvenile  officer  shall  deliver  the  minor
31    without  unnecessary  delay  to  the  court  or  to the place
32    designated by rule or order of court  for  the  reception  of
 
SB756 Engrossed             -4-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    minors.   In  no  event  shall  the minor be eligible for any
 2    other   disposition   by   the   juvenile   police   officer,
 3    notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (3)  of  Section
 4    5-405 of this Act.
 5        (b)  Minors  not  excluded  from  this Act's jurisdiction
 6    under subsection (3)(a) of Section 5-130 of this Act shall be
 7    brought before a judicial officer within 40 hours,  exclusive
 8    of  Saturdays,  Sundays, and court-designated holidays, for a
 9    detention hearing to determine whether he  or  she  shall  be
10    further  held  in  custody.  If the court finds that there is
11    probable cause to believe that  the  minor  is  a  delinquent
12    minor  by  virtue  of  his  or  her  violation of item (4) of
13    subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code  of  1961
14    while  on  school  grounds,  that  finding shall operate as a
15    determination  of  urgent  and  immediate   necessity   under
16    subdivision  (2)  of  Section 5-501 of this Act and the minor
17    shall be detained, pending the  results  of  a  court-ordered
18    psychological  evaluation to determine if the minor is a risk
19    to  himself,  herself,  or  others.   Upon  receipt  of   the
20    psychological   evaluation,   the   court  shall  review  the
21    determination   regarding  the  existence   of   urgent   and
22    immediate   necessity.    The   court   shall   consider  the
23    psychological  evaluation  in  conjunction  with  the   other
24    factors  identified  in  subdivision  (2) of Section 5-501 of
25    this Act in order to make a de novo  determination  regarding
26    whether  it is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for
27    the protection of the minor or of the person or  property  of
28    another  that  the  minor  be detained or placed in a shelter
29    care facility.  In addition to the pre-trial conditions found
30    in Section 5-505 of this Act, the court may order  the  minor
31    to  receive  counseling and any other services recommended by
32    the psychological evaluation as a condition  for  release  of
33    the minor.
34        (c)  Upon   making   a  determination  that  the  student
 
SB756 Engrossed             -5-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    presents a risk to himself, herself,  or  others,  the  court
 2    shall  issue  an  order restraining the student from entering
 3    the property of the school if he or she has been suspended or
 4    expelled from the school as a result of possessing a firearm.
 5    The order shall restrain the student from entering the school
 6    and school owned or leased property, including any conveyance
 7    owned, leased, or  contracted  by  the  school  to  transport
 8    students to or from school or a school-related activity.  The
 9    order  shall  remain  in  effect until such time as the court
10    determines that the student no  longer  presents  a  risk  to
11    himself, herself, or others.
12        (d)  Psychological   evaluations   ordered   pursuant  to
13    subsection (b) of this Section and  statements  made  by  the
14    minor  during  the  course  of these evaluations shall not be
15    admissible on the issue of delinquency during the  course  of
16    any adjudicatory hearing held under this Act.
17        (e)  In this Section:
18        "School"  means  any  public  or  private  elementary  or
19    secondary school.
20        "School  grounds"  includes  the real property comprising
21    any school, any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by  a
22    school   to  transport  students  to  or  from  school  or  a
23    school-related activity, or any public way within 1,000  feet
24    of the real property comprising any school.

25        Section  15.   The  Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
26    amended by changing Sections 110-4 and 110-10 as follows:

27        (725 ILCS 5/110-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-4)
28        Sec. 110-4.  Bailable Offenses.
29        (a)  All persons shall  be  bailable  before  conviction,
30    except  the  following offenses where the proof is evident or
31    the presumption great that the defendant  is  guilty  of  the
32    offense:   capital offenses; offenses for which a sentence of
 
SB756 Engrossed             -6-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    life  imprisonment  may  be  imposed  as  a  consequence   of
 2    conviction;  or  felony  offenses  for  which  a  sentence of
 3    imprisonment,  without  conditional  and  revocable  release,
 4    shall be imposed by law as a consequence of conviction, where
 5    the court after a hearing, determines that the release of the
 6    defendant would  pose  a  real  and  present  threat  to  the
 7    physical  safety  of  any  person  or persons; or stalking or
 8    aggravated  stalking,  where  the  court,  after  a  hearing,
 9    determines that the release of the  defendant  would  pose  a
10    real and present threat to the physical safety of the alleged
11    victim  of  the  offense  and  denial of bail is necessary to
12    prevent fulfillment of the threat upon which  the  charge  is
13    based; or unlawful use of weapons in violation of item (4) of
14    subsection  (a)  of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961
15    when that offense occurred in a school or in  any  conveyance
16    owned,  leased,  or  contracted  by  a  school  to  transport
17    students  to  or from school or a school-related activity, or
18    on  any  public  way  within  1,000  feet  of  real  property
19    comprising any school, where  the  court,  after  a  hearing,
20    determines  that  the  release  of the defendant would pose a
21    real and present threat to the physical safety of any  person
22    and  denial  of  bail  is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
23    that threat.
24        (b)  A person seeking release on bail who is charged with
25    a capital offense or an offense for which a sentence of  life
26    imprisonment  may  be  imposed  shall not be bailable until a
27    hearing is  held  wherein  such  person  has  the  burden  of
28    demonstrating  that the proof of his guilt is not evident and
29    the presumption is not great.
30        (c)  Where it is alleged that bail should be denied to  a
31    person  upon  the grounds that the person presents a real and
32    present threat to  the  physical  safety  of  any  person  or
33    persons,  the  burden  of  proof of such allegations shall be
34    upon the State.
 
SB756 Engrossed             -7-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1        (d)  When it is alleged that bail should be denied  to  a
 2    person  charged with stalking or aggravated stalking upon the
 3    grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3 of this Code, the burden
 4    of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State.

 6        (725 ILCS 5/110-10) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-10)
 7        Sec. 110-10.  Conditions of bail bond.
 8        (a)  If a person is released prior to conviction,  either
 9    upon   payment  of  bail  security  or  on  his  or  her  own
10    recognizance, the conditions of the bail bond shall  be  that
11    he or she will:
12             (1)  Appear to answer the charge in the court having
13        jurisdiction  on  a day certain and thereafter as ordered
14        by the court until  discharged  or  final  order  of  the
15        court;
16             (2)  Submit  himself  or  herself  to the orders and
17        process of the court;
18             (3)  Not depart this  State  without  leave  of  the
19        court;
20             (4)  Not   violate   any  criminal  statute  of  any
21        jurisdiction; and
22             (5)  At a time and place designated  by  the  court,
23        surrender  all firearms in his or her possession to a law
24        enforcement officer  designated  by  the  court  to  take
25        custody  of and impound the firearms when the offense the
26        person has  been  charged  with  is  a  forcible  felony,
27        stalking,  aggravated  stalking,  domestic  battery,  any
28        violation  of  either  the Illinois Controlled Substances
29        Act or the Cannabis Control Act that is classified  as  a
30        Class  2  or  greater  felony, or any felony violation of
31        Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961;. the court  may,
32        however, forego the imposition of this condition when the
33        circumstances  of  the  case clearly do not warrant it or
 
SB756 Engrossed             -8-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1        when its imposition would be  impractical;.  all  legally
 2        possessed  firearms  shall be returned to the person upon
 3        that person completing a sentence for a conviction  on  a
 4        misdemeanor  domestic  battery,  upon  the  charges being
 5        dismissed, or if the person is found not  guilty,  unless
 6        the finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; and.
 7             (6)  At  a  time  and place designated by the court,
 8        submit to a psychological evaluation when the person  has
 9        been  charged  with a violation of item (4) of subsection
10        (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and that
11        violation occurred in  a  school  or  in  any  conveyance
12        owned,  leased,  or  contracted  by a school to transport
13        students to or from school or a school-related  activity,
14        or  on  any public way within 1,000 feet of real property
15        comprising any school.
16        Psychological  evaluations  ordered  pursuant   to   this
17    Section shall be completed promptly and made available to the
18    State,  the defendant, and the court.  As a further condition
19    of bail under these circumstances, the court shall order  the
20    defendant  to  refrain from entering upon the property of the
21    school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted
22    by a school to transport students to  or  from  school  or  a
23    school-related  activity,  or  on any public way within 1,000
24    feet of real property comprising any school.  Upon receipt of
25    the  psychological  evaluation,  either  the  State  or   the
26    defendant  may  request  a  change in the conditions of bail,
27    pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code.  The court may change
28    the conditions of bail to  include  a  requirement  that  the
29    defendant  follow  the  recommendations  of the psychological
30    evaluation, including undergoing psychiatric treatment.   The
31    conclusions   of   the   psychological   evaluation  and  any
32    statements   elicited   from   the   defendant   during   its
33    administration are not admissible as evidence of guilt during
34    the course of any trial on the charged  offense,  unless  the
 
SB756 Engrossed             -9-                LRB9101848NTsb
 1    defendant places his or her mental competency in issue.
 2        (b)  The  court  may impose other conditions, such as the
 3    following, if  the  court  finds  that  such  conditions  are
 4    reasonably  necessary to assure the defendant's appearance in
 5    court, protect the public from the defendant, or prevent  the
 6    defendant's    unlawful   interference   with   the   orderly
 7    administration of justice:
 8             (1)  Report to  or  appear  in  person  before  such
 9        person or agency as the court may direct;
10             (2)  Refrain  from  possessing  a  firearm  or other

17        indulging in intoxicating liquors or in certain drugs;
18             (6)  Undergo   treatment   for   drug  addiction  or
19        alcoholism;
20             (7)  Undergo medical or psychiatric treatment;
21             (8)  Work or pursue a course of study or  vocational
22        training;
23             (9)  Attend  or  reside  in a facility designated by
24        the court;
25             (10)  Support his or her dependents;

27        in a foster home, attend school, attend a non-residential
28        program  for  youths,  and  contribute  to his or her own
29        support at home or in a foster home;
30             (12)  Observe any curfew ordered by the court;
31             (13)  Remain  in  the  custody  of  such  designated
32        person or organization agreeing to supervise his release.
33        Such third  party  custodian  shall  be  responsible  for
34        notifying the court if the defendant fails to observe the
 
SB756 Engrossed             -10-               LRB9101848NTsb
 1        conditions  of  release which the custodian has agreed to
 2        monitor, and shall be subject to contempt  of  court  for
 3        failure so to notify the court;
 4             (14)  Be  placed  under  direct  supervision  of the
 5        Pretrial Services Agency, Probation Department  or  Court

 8        electronic  monitoring  device  subject  to Article 8A of
 9        Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections; or
10             (14.1)  The court shall impose upon a defendant  who
11        is  charged  with  any  alcohol,  cannabis  or controlled
12        substance  violation   and   is   placed   under   direct
13        supervision  of  the  Pretrial Services Agency, Probation
14        Department or Court Services  Department  in  a  pretrial

17        bond, a fee not to exceed $5 for each day  of  such  bail
18        supervision   ordered   by   the   court,   unless  after
19        determining the inability of the  defendant  to  pay  the
