 4        "AN ACT concerning schools, amending named Acts."; and

 5    by  replacing  everything  after the enacting clause with the
 6    following:

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

 9        (105 ILCS 5/10-27.1A)
10        Sec. 10-27.1A.  Reporting Firearms in schools.
11        (a)  All  school  officials, including teachers, guidance
12    counselors, and support staff,  shall  immediately  notify  a
13    local  law enforcement agency and the office of the principal
14    in the event that they observe any person in possession of  a
15    firearm  on school grounds.  A report is not required by this
16    Section when the school official knows  that  the  person  in
17    possession  of  the  firearm  is  a  law enforcement official
18    engaged in  the  conduct  of  his  or  her  official  duties.
19    Willful failure to comply with this Section shall subject the
20    non-reporting  school official to suspension or revocation of
21    certification, pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 21-23 of

 1    this Code.
 2        (b)  Upon receiving a report  from  any  school  official
 3    pursuant  to  the  Section,  or  from  any  other person, the
 4    principal or his or her designee shall, if not already  done,
 5    immediately  notify  a  local law enforcement agency.  If the
 6    person found to be in  possession  of  a  firearm  on  school
 7    grounds  is  a  student, the principal or his or her designee
 8    shall  also  immediately  notify  that  student's  parent  or
 9    guardian.  Upon receiving notification from the principal  or
10    his  or  her designee or any other school official, the local
11    law  enforcement  agency  shall   immediately   commence   an
12    investigation  and  determine  whether  to file a delinquency
13    petition  or  complaint.   If  the  person  found  to  be  in
14    possession of the firearm on school grounds is a  minor,  the
15    law  enforcement  agency  shall  detain that minor until such
16    time as the agency makes a determination pursuant  to  clause
17    (a)  of subsection (1) of Section 5-401 of the Juvenile Court
18    Act of 1987, as to whether  the  agency  reasonably  believes
19    that  the minor is delinquent.  If the law enforcement agency
20    determines that probable cause exists  to  believe  that  the
21    minor  committed a violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of
22    Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of  1961  while  on  school
23    grounds,  the  agency  shall  detain the minor for processing
24    pursuant to Section 5-407 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
25        (c)  On or after January 1, 1997,  upon  receipt  of  any
26    written,   electronic,  or  verbal  report  from  any  school
27    personnel regarding a verified incident involving  a  firearm
28    in  a school or on school owned or leased property, including
29    any conveyance owned, leased, or used by the school  for  the
30    transport of students or school personnel, the superintendent
31    or  his or her designee shall report all such firearm-related
32    incidents occurring in a school or on school property to  the
33    local  law  enforcement authorities immediately no later than
34    24 hours after the occurrence of  the  incident  and  to  the

 4    statistical  compilation  and  related  data  associated with
 5    incidents involving firearms in schools from  the  Department
 6    of State Police.

 8    have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1.1 of the Firearm
 9    Owners Identification Card Act.

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

21        (705 ILCS 405/5-407 new)
22        Sec. 5-407.  Processing of juvenile in  possession  of  a
23    firearm.
24        (a)  If   a  law  enforcement  officer  detains  a  minor
25    pursuant to Section 10-27.1A of the School Code, the  officer
26    shall  deliver  the minor to the nearest juvenile officer, in
27    the manner prescribed by subsection (2) of Section  5-405  of
28    this  Act.   The  juvenile  officer  shall  deliver the minor
29    without unnecessary delay  to  the  court  or  to  the  place
30    designated  by  rule  or  order of court for the reception of
31    minors.  In no event shall the  minor  be  eligible  for  any
32    other   disposition   by   the   juvenile   police   officer,
 
                            -4-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1    notwithstanding  the  provisions of subsection (3) of Section
 2    5-405 of this Act.
 3        (b)  Minors not excluded  from  this  Act's  jurisdiction
 4    under subsection (3)(a) of Section 5-130 of this Act shall be
 5    brought  before a judicial officer within 40 hours, exclusive
 6    of Saturdays, Sundays, and court-designated holidays,  for  a
 7    detention  hearing  to  determine  whether he or she shall be
 8    further held in custody.  If the court finds  that  there  is
 9    probable  cause  to  believe  that  the minor is a delinquent
10    minor by virtue of his  or  her  violation  of  item  (4)  of
11    subsection  (a)  of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961
12    while on school grounds, that  finding  shall  operate  as  a
13    determination   of   urgent  and  immediate  necessity  under
14    subdivision (2) of Section 5-501 of this Act  and  the  minor
15    shall  be  detained,  pending  the results of a court-ordered
16    psychological evaluation to determine if the minor is a  risk
17    to   himself,  herself,  or  others.   Upon  receipt  of  the
18    psychological  evaluation,  the  court   shall   review   the
19    determination    regarding   the   existence  of  urgent  and
20    immediate  necessity.    The   court   shall   consider   the
21    psychological   evaluation  in  conjunction  with  the  other
22    factors identified in subdivision (2)  of  Section  5-501  of
23    this  Act  in order to make a de novo determination regarding
24    whether it is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity  for
25    the  protection  of the minor or of the person or property of
26    another that the minor be detained or  placed  in  a  shelter
27    care facility.  In addition to the pre-trial conditions found
28    in  Section  5-505 of this Act, the court may order the minor
29    to receive counseling and any other services  recommended  by
30    the  psychological  evaluation  as a condition for release of
31    the minor.
32        (c)  Upon  making  a  determination  that   the   student
33    presents  a  risk  to  himself, herself, or others, the court
34    shall issue an order restraining the  student  from  entering
 
                            -5-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1    the property of the school if he or she has been suspended or
 2    expelled from the school as a result of possessing a firearm.
 3    The order shall restrain the student from entering the school
 4    and school owned or leased property, including any conveyance
 5    owned,  leased,  or  contracted  by  the  school to transport
 6    students to or from school or a school-related activity.  The
 7    order shall remain in effect until such  time  as  the  court
 8    determines  that  the  student  no  longer presents a risk to
 9    himself, herself, or others.
10        (d)  Psychological  evaluations   ordered   pursuant   to
11    subsection  (b)  of  this  Section and statements made by the
12    minor during the course of these evaluations,  shall  not  be
13    admissible  on  the issue of delinquency during the course of
14    any adjudicatory hearing held under this Act.
15        (e)  In this Section:
16        "School"  means  any  public  or  private  elementary  or
17    secondary school.
18        "School grounds" includes the  real  property  comprising
19    any  school, any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a
20    school  to  transport  students  to  or  from  school  or   a
21    school-related  activity, or any public way within 1,000 feet
22    of the real property comprising any school.

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

25        (725 ILCS 5/110-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-4)
26        Sec. 110-4.  Bailable Offenses.
27        (a)  All  persons  shall  be  bailable before conviction,
28    except the following offenses where the proof is  evident  or
29    the  presumption  great  that  the defendant is guilty of the
30    offense:  capital offenses; offenses for which a sentence  of
31    life   imprisonment  may  be  imposed  as  a  consequence  of
32    conviction; or  felony  offenses  for  which  a  sentence  of
 
                            -6-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1    imprisonment,  without  conditional  and  revocable  release,
 2    shall be imposed by law as a consequence of conviction, where
 3    the court after a hearing, determines that the release of the
 4    defendant  would  pose  a  real  and  present  threat  to the
 5    physical safety of any person  or  persons;  or  stalking  or
 6    aggravated  stalking,  where  the  court,  after  a  hearing,
 7    determines  that  the  release  of the defendant would pose a
 8    real and present threat to the physical safety of the alleged
 9    victim of the offense and denial  of  bail  is  necessary  to
10    prevent  fulfillment  of  the threat upon which the charge is
11    based; or unlawful use of weapons in violation of item (4) of
12    subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code  of  1961
13    when  that  offense occurred in a school or in any conveyance
14    owned,  leased,  or  contracted  by  a  school  to  transport
15    students to or from school or a school-related  activity,  or
16    on  any  public  way  within  1,000  feet  of  real  property
17    comprising  any  school,  where  the  court, after a hearing,
18    determines that the release of the  defendant  would  pose  a
19    real  and present threat to the physical safety of any person
20    and denial of bail is necessary  to  prevent  fulfillment  of
21    that threat.
22        (b)  A person seeking release on bail who is charged with
23    a  capital offense or an offense for which a sentence of life
24    imprisonment may be imposed shall not  be  bailable  until  a
25    hearing  is  held  wherein  such  person  has  the  burden of
26    demonstrating that the proof of his guilt is not evident  and
27    the presumption is not great.
28        (c)  Where  it is alleged that bail should be denied to a
29    person upon the grounds that the person presents a  real  and
30    present  threat  to  the  physical  safety  of  any person or
31    persons, the burden of proof of  such  allegations  shall  be
32    upon the State.
33        (d)  When  it  is alleged that bail should be denied to a
34    person charged with stalking or aggravated stalking upon  the
 
                            -7-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1    grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3 of this Code, the burden
 2    of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State.

 4        (725 ILCS 5/110-10) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-10)
 5        Sec. 110-10.  Conditions of bail bond.
 6        (a)  If  a person is released prior to conviction, either
 7    upon  payment  of  bail  security  or  on  his  or  her   own
 8    recognizance,  the  conditions of the bail bond shall be that
 9    he or she will:
10             (1)  Appear to answer the charge in the court having
11        jurisdiction on a day certain and thereafter  as  ordered
12        by  the  court  until  discharged  or  final order of the
13        court;
14             (2)  Submit himself or herself  to  the  orders  and
15        process of the court;
16             (3)  Not  depart  this  State  without  leave of the
17        court;
18             (4)  Not  violate  any  criminal  statute   of   any
19        jurisdiction; and
20             (5)  At  a  time  and place designated by the court,
21        surrender all firearms in his or her possession to a  law
22        enforcement  officer  designated  by  the  court  to take
23        custody of and impound the firearms when the offense  the
24        person  has  been  charged  with  is  a  forcible felony,
25        stalking,  aggravated  stalking,  domestic  battery,  any
26        violation of either the  Illinois  Controlled  Substances
27        Act  or  the Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a
28        Class 2 or greater felony, or  any  felony  violation  of
29        Article  24 of the Criminal Code of 1961;. the court may,
30        however, forego the imposition of this condition when the
31        circumstances of the case clearly do not  warrant  it  or
32        when  its  imposition  would be impractical;. all legally
33        possessed firearms shall be returned to the  person  upon
 
                            -8-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1        that  person  completing a sentence for a conviction on a
 2        misdemeanor domestic  battery,  upon  the  charges  being
 3        dismissed,  or  if the person is found not guilty, unless
 4        the finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; and.
 5             (6)  At a time and place designated  by  the  court,
 6        submit  to a psychological evaluation when the person has
 7        been charged with a violation of item (4)  of  subsection
 8        (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 and that
 9        violation  occurred  in  a  school  or  in any conveyance
10        owned, leased, or contracted by  a  school  to  transport
11        students  to or from school or a school-related activity,
12        or on any public way within 1,000 feet of  real  property
13        comprising any school.
14        Psychological   evaluations   ordered  pursuant  to  this
15    Section shall be completed promptly and made available to the
16    State, the defendant, and the court.  As a further  condition
17    of  bail under these circumstances, the court shall order the
18    defendant to refrain from entering upon the property  of  the
19    school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted
20    by  a  school  to  transport  students to or from school or a
21    school-related activity, or on any public  way  within  1,000
22    feet of real property comprising any school.  Upon receipt of
23    the   psychological  evaluation,  either  the  State  or  the
24    defendant may request a change in  the  conditions  of  bail,
25    pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code.  The court may change
26    the  conditions  of  bail  to  include a requirement that the
27    defendant follow the  recommendations  of  the  psychological
28    evaluation,  including undergoing psychiatric treatment.  The
29    conclusions  of  the   psychological   evaluation   and   any
30    statements   elicited   from   the   defendant   during   its
31    administration are not admissible as evidence of guilt during
32    the  course  of  any trial on the charged offense, unless the
33    defendant places his or her mental competency in issue.
34        (b)  The court may impose other conditions, such  as  the
 
                            -9-              LRB9101848NTsbam
 1    following,  if  the  court  finds  that  such  conditions are
 2    reasonably necessary to assure the defendant's appearance  in
 3    court,  protect the public from the defendant, or prevent the
 4    defendant's   unlawful   interference   with   the    orderly
 5    administration of justice:
 6             (1)  Report  to  or  appear  in  person  before such
 7        person or agency as the court may direct;
 8             (2)  Refrain from  possessing  a  firearm  or  other

33        conditions of release which the custodian has  agreed  to
34        monitor,  and  shall  be subject to contempt of court for
