 1        AN  ACT  in relation to the adult criminal prosecution of
 2    minors, amending named Acts.

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

 5        Section  5.  The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
 6    changing Sections 5-130,  5-710,  5-750,  5-805,  5-810,  and
 7    5-901 as follows:

 8        (705 ILCS 405/5-130)
 9        Sec.  5-130.  Excluded jurisdiction.
10        (1) (a)  The definition of delinquent minor under Section
11    5-120 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who at the
12    time  of  an  offense was at least 15 years of age and who is
13    charged with first degree murder, aggravated criminal  sexual
14    assault,  armed  robbery when the armed robbery was committed
15    with a firearm, or aggravated vehicular  hijacking  when  the
16    hijacking was committed with a firearm. These charges and all
17    other  charges  arising  out  of  the  same incident shall be
18    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
19        (b) (i)  If  before  trial  or  plea  an  information  or
20    indictment is filed that does not charge an offense specified
21    in paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) the State's  Attorney
22    may  proceed  on  any  lesser  charge or charges, but only in
23    Juvenile Court under the provisions  of  this  Article.   The
24    State's  Attorney may proceed under the Criminal Code of 1961
25    on a lesser  charge  if  before  trial  the  minor  defendant
26    knowingly  and with advice of counsel waives, in writing, his
27    or her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
28        (ii)  If  before  trial  or  plea   an   information   or
29    indictment  is  filed  that  includes  one  or  more  charges
30    specified  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subsection  (1)  and
31    additional  charges that are not specified in that paragraph,
 
                            -2-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    all of the charges arising out of the same incident shall  be
 2    prosecuted under the Criminal Code of 1961.
 3        (c) (i)  If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
 4    any  offense covered by paragraph (a) of this subsection (1),
 5    then, in sentencing the minor, the court shall have available
 6    any or all dispositions prescribed  for  that  offense  under
 7    Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
 8        (ii)  If  after  trial  or  plea the court finds that the
 9    minor committed an offense not covered by  paragraph  (a)  of
10    this  subsection  (1),  that finding shall not invalidate the
11    verdict or the prosecution of the minor  under  the  criminal
12    laws  of  the  State;   however,  unless the State requests a
13    hearing for the purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter
14    V of the Unified Code of Corrections, the Court must  proceed
15    under Sections 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article.  To request a
16    hearing,  the State must file a written motion within 10 days
17    following the entry of a finding or the return of a  verdict.
18    Reasonable  notice  of the motion shall be given to the minor
19    or his or her counsel.  If the motion is made by  the  State,
20    the  court shall conduct a hearing to determine if  the minor
21    should be sentenced under Chapter V of the  Unified  Code  of
22    Corrections.   In  making  its determination, the court shall
23    consider among other matters: (a) whether there  is  evidence
24    that   the   offense  was  committed  in  an  aggressive  and
25    premeditated manner; (b)  the  age  of  the  minor;  (c)  the
26    previous   history  of  the  minor;  (d)  whether  there  are
27    facilities particularly available to the  Juvenile  Court  or
28    the  Department  of  Corrections,  Juvenile Division, for the
29    treatment and rehabilitation of the minor;  (e)  whether  the
30    security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of
31    the  Unified  Code  of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor
32    possessed a deadly weapon when committing the  offense.   The
33    rules of evidence shall be the same as if at trial.  If after
34    the  hearing  the  court  finds  that  the  minor  should  be
 
                            -3-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
 2    then  the  court  shall sentence the minor accordingly having
 3    available to it any or all dispositions so prescribed.
 4        (2) (a)  The  definition  of  a  delinquent  minor  under
 5    Section 5-120 of this Article shall not apply  to  any  minor
 6    who  at  the time of the offense was at least 15 years of age
 7    and who is charged with an offense under Section 401  of  the
 8    Illinois  Controlled  Substances  Act,  while  in  a  school,
 9    regardless  of  the  time  of day or the time of year, or any
10    conveyance  owned,  leased  or  contracted  by  a  school  to
11    transport students to or from  school  or  a  school  related
12    activity, or residential property owned, operated and managed
13    by  a  public housing agency, on the real property comprising
14    any school, regardless of the time of  day  or  the  time  of
15    year,  or residential property owned, operated and managed by
16    a public housing agency, or on a public way within 1,000 feet
17    of the real property comprising any school, regardless of the
18    time of day or the time  of  year,  or  residential  property
19    owned,  operated  and  managed  by  a  public housing agency.
20    School is defined, for the purposes of this Section,  as  any
21    public  or  private elementary or secondary school, community
22    college, college, or university.  These charges and all other
23    charges arising out of the same incident shall be  prosecuted
24    under the criminal laws of this State.
25        (b) (i)  If  before  trial  or  plea  an  information  or
26    indictment is filed that does not charge an offense specified
27    in  paragraph (a) of this subsection (2) the State's Attorney
28    may proceed on any lesser charge  or  charges,  but  only  in
29    Juvenile  Court  under  the  provisions of this Article.  The
30    State's Attorney may proceed under the criminal laws of  this
31    State  on a lesser charge if before trial the minor defendant
32    knowingly and with advice of counsel waives, in writing,  his
33    or her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
34        (ii)  If   before   trial   or  plea  an  information  or
 
                            -4-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    indictment  is  filed  that  includes  one  or  more  charges
 2    specified  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subsection  (2)  and
 3    additional charges that are not specified in that  paragraph,
 4    all  of the charges arising out of the same incident shall be
 5    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
 6        (c) (i)  If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
 7    any offense covered by paragraph (a) of this subsection  (2),
 8    then, in sentencing the minor, the court shall have available
 9    any  or  all  dispositions  prescribed for that offense under
10    Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
11        (ii)  If after trial or plea the  court  finds  that  the
12    minor  committed  an  offense not covered by paragraph (a) of
13    this subsection (2), that finding shall  not  invalidate  the
14    verdict  or  the  prosecution of the minor under the criminal
15    laws of the State;  however,  unless  the  State  requests  a
16    hearing for the purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter
17    V  of the Unified Code of Corrections, the Court must proceed
18    under Sections 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article.  To request a
19    hearing, the State must file a written motion within 10  days
20    following  the entry of a finding or the return of a verdict.
21    Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to  the  minor
22    or  his  or her counsel.  If the motion is made by the State,
23    the court shall conduct a hearing to determine if  the  minor
24    should  be  sentenced  under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
25    Corrections.  In making its determination,  the  court  shall
26    consider  among  other matters: (a) whether there is evidence
27    that  the  offense  was  committed  in  an   aggressive   and
28    premeditated  manner;  (b)  the  age  of  the  minor; (c) the
29    previous  history  of  the  minor;  (d)  whether  there   are
30    facilities  particularly  available  to the Juvenile Court or
31    the Department of Corrections,  Juvenile  Division,  for  the
32    treatment  and  rehabilitation  of the minor; (e) whether the
33    security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of
34    the Unified Code of Corrections; and (f)  whether  the  minor
 
                            -5-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    possessed  a  deadly weapon when committing the offense.  The
 2    rules of evidence shall be the same as if at trial.  If after
 3    the  hearing  the  court  finds  that  the  minor  should  be
 4    sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
 5    then the court shall sentence the  minor  accordingly  having
 6    available to it any or all dispositions so prescribed.
 7        (3) (a)  The definition of delinquent minor under Section
 8    5-120 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who at the
 9    time  of  the offense was at least 15 years of age and who is

15    time of year. School is defined, for purposes of this Section
16    as any public or  private  elementary  or  secondary  school,
17    community  college, college, or university. These charges and
18    all other charges arising out of the same incident  shall  be
19    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
20        (b) (i)  If  before  trial  or  plea  an  information  or
21    indictment is filed that does not charge an offense specified
22    in  paragraph (a) of this subsection (3) the State's Attorney
23    may proceed on any lesser charge  or  charges,  but  only  in
24    Juvenile  Court  under  the  provisions of this Article.  The
25    State's Attorney may proceed under the criminal laws of  this
26    State  on a lesser charge if before trial the minor defendant
27    knowingly and with advice of counsel waives, in writing,  his
28    or her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
29        (ii)  If   before   trial   or  plea  an  information  or
30    indictment  is  filed  that  includes  one  or  more  charges
31    specified  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subsection  (3)  and
32    additional charges that are not specified in that  paragraph,
33    all  of the charges arising out of the same incident shall be
34    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
 
                            -6-                LRB9100028RCks
 1        (c) (i)  If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
 2    any offense covered by paragraph (a) of this subsection  (3),
 3    then, in sentencing the minor, the court shall have available
 4    any  or  all  dispositions  prescribed for that offense under
 5    Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
 6        (ii)  If after trial or plea the  court  finds  that  the
 7    minor  committed  an  offense not covered by paragraph (a) of
 8    this subsection (3), that finding shall  not  invalidate  the
 9    verdict  or  the  prosecution of the minor under the criminal
10    laws of the State;  however,  unless  the  State  requests  a
11    hearing for the purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter
12    V  of the Unified Code of Corrections, the Court must proceed
13    under Sections 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article.  To request a
14    hearing, the State must file a written motion within 10  days
15    following  the entry of a finding or the return of a verdict.
16    Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to  the  minor
17    or  his  or her counsel.  If the motion is made by the State,
18    the court shall conduct a hearing to determine if  the  minor
19    should  be  sentenced  under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
20    Corrections.  In making its determination,  the  court  shall
21    consider  among  other matters: (a) whether there is evidence
22    that  the  offense  was  committed  in  an   aggressive   and
23    premeditated  manner;  (b)  the  age  of  the  minor; (c) the
24    previous  history  of  the  minor;  (d)  whether  there   are
25    facilities  particularly  available  to the Juvenile Court or
26    the Department of Corrections,  Juvenile  Division,  for  the
27    treatment  and  rehabilitation  of the minor; (e) whether the
28    security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of
29    the Unified Code of Corrections; and (f)  whether  the  minor
30    possessed  a  deadly weapon when committing the offense.  The
31    rules of evidence shall be the same as if at trial.  If after
32    the  hearing  the  court  finds  that  the  minor  should  be
33    sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
34    then the court shall sentence the  minor  accordingly  having
 
                            -7-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    available to it any or all dispositions so prescribed.
 2        (4) (a)  The definition of delinquent minor under Section
 3    5-120 of this Article shall not apply to any minor who at the
 4    time of an offense was at least 12 13 years of age and who is
 5    charged  with first degree murder committed during the course
 6    of either aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual
 7    assault, or aggravated kidnaping.  However,  this  subsection
 8    (4) does not include a minor charged with first degree murder
 9    based  exclusively  upon the accountability provisions of the
10    Criminal Code of 1961.
11        (b) (i)  If  before  trial  or  plea  an  information  or
12    indictment is filed that does not charge first degree  murder
13    committed  during  the  course  of aggravated criminal sexual
14    assault, criminal sexual assault,  or  aggravated  kidnaping,
15    the  State's  Attorney  may  proceed  on any lesser charge or
16    charges, but only in Juvenile Court under the  provisions  of
17    this  Article.   The  State's  Attorney may proceed under the
18    criminal laws of this State on  a  lesser  charge  if  before
19    trial  the  minor  defendant  knowingly  and  with  advice of
20    counsel waives, in writing, his or  her  right  to  have  the
21    matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
22        (ii)  If   before   trial   or  plea  an  information  or
23    indictment  is  filed  that  includes  first  degree   murder
24    committed  during  the  course  of aggravated criminal sexual
25    assault, criminal sexual assault,  or  aggravated  kidnaping,
26    and  additional  charges  that are not specified in paragraph
27    (a) of this subsection, all of the charges arising out of the
28    same incident shall be prosecuted under the criminal laws  of
29    this State.
30        (c) (i)  If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
31    first degree murder committed during the course of aggravated
32    criminal   sexual   assault,   criminal  sexual  assault,  or
33    aggravated kidnaping, in  sentencing  the  minor,  the  court
34    shall  have  available any or all dispositions prescribed for
 
                            -8-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    that  offense  under  Chapter  V   of  the  Unified  Code  of
 2    Corrections.
 3        (ii)  If the minor was not yet 15 years  of  age  at  the
 4    time  of  the  offense,  and if after trial or plea the court
 5    finds that the minor committed an offense  other  than  first
 6    degree   murder   committed   during  the  course  of  either
 7    aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual  assault,
 8    or  aggravated  kidnapping,  the finding shall not invalidate
 9    the verdict  or  the  prosecution  of  the  minor  under  the
10    criminal  laws  of  the  State;  however,  unless  the  State
11    requests  a  hearing  for the purpose of sentencing the minor
12    under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, the Court
13    must proceed under Sections 5-705 and 5-710 of this  Article.
14    To  request  a  hearing, the State must file a written motion
15    within 10 days following the entry of a finding or the return
16    of a verdict.  Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given
17    to the minor or his or her counsel.  If the motion is made by
18    the State, the court shall conduct  a  hearing  to  determine
19    whether  the minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the
20    Unified Code of Corrections.  In  making  its  determination,
21    the  court  shall  consider among other matters:  (a) whether
22    there is evidence  that  the  offense  was  committed  in  an
23    aggressive  and  premeditated  manner;   (b)  the  age of the
24    minor;  (c) the previous delinquent  history  of  the  minor;
25    (d)  whether  there  are facilities particularly available to
26    the Juvenile Court or the Department of Corrections, Juvenile
27    Division, for the treatment and rehabilitation of the  minor;
28    (e)  whether  the best interest of the minor and the security
29    of the public require  sentencing  under  Chapter  V  of  the
30    Unified  Code  of  Corrections;   and  (f)  whether the minor
31    possessed a deadly weapon when committing the  offense.   The
32    rules of evidence shall be the same as if at trial.  If after
33    the  hearing  the  court  finds  that  the  minor  should  be
34    sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
 
                            -9-                LRB9100028RCks
 1    then  the  court  shall sentence the minor accordingly having
 2    available to it any or all dispositions so prescribed.
 3        (5) (a)  The definition of delinquent minor under Section
 4    5-120 of this Article shall not apply to  any  minor  who  is
 5    charged with a violation of subsection (a) of Section 31-6 or
 6    Section  32-10 of the Criminal Code of 1961 when the minor is
 7    subject to prosecution under the criminal laws of this  State
 8    as  a  result of the application of the provisions of Section
 9    5-125, or subsection (1)  or  (2)  of  this  Section.   These
10    charges  and  all  other  charges  arising  out  of  the same
11    incident shall be prosecuted under the criminal laws of  this
12    State.
13        (b) (i)  If  before  trial  or  plea  an  information  or
14    indictment is filed that does not charge an offense specified
15    in paragraph (a) of this subsection (5), the State's Attorney
16    may  proceed  on  any  lesser  charge or charges, but only in
17    Juvenile Court under the provisions  of  this  Article.   The
18    State's  Attorney may proceed under the criminal laws of this
19    State on a lesser charge if before trial the minor  defendant
20    knowingly  and with advice of counsel waives, in writing, his
21    or her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
22        (ii)  If  before  trial  or  plea   an   information   or
23    indictment  is  filed  that  includes  one  or  more  charges
24    specified  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subsection  (5)  and
25    additional  charges that are not specified in that paragraph,
26    all of the charges arising out of the same incident shall  be
27    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
28        (c) (i)  If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of
29    any  offense covered by paragraph (a) of this subsection (5),
30    then, in sentencing the minor, the court shall have available
31    any or all dispositions prescribed  for  that  offense  under
32    Chapter V  of the Unified Code of Corrections.
33        (ii)  If  after  trial  or  plea the court finds that the
34    minor committed an offense not covered by  paragraph  (a)  of
 
                            -10-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    this  subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the
 2    verdict or the prosecution of the minor  under  the  criminal
 3    laws  of  this  State;   however, unless the State requests a
 4    hearing for the purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter
 5    V of the Unified Code of Corrections, the Court must  proceed
 6    under  Sections 5-705 and 5-710 of this Article. To request a
 7    hearing, the State must file a written motion within 10  days
 8    following  the entry of a finding or the return of a verdict.
 9    Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to  the  minor
10    or  his  or her counsel.  If the motion is made by the State,
11    the court shall conduct a hearing to determine if whether the
12    minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code
13    of Corrections.  In making its determination, the court shall
14    consider among other matters:  (a) whether there is  evidence
15    that   the   offense  was  committed  in  an  aggressive  and
16    premeditated manner;  (b) the age  of  the  minor;   (c)  the
17    previous  delinquent history of the minor;  (d) whether there
18    are facilities particularly available to the  Juvenile  Court
19    or  the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, for the
20    treatment and rehabilitation of the minor;  (e)  whether  the
21    security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of
22    the  Unified  Code of Corrections;  and (f) whether the minor
23    possessed a deadly weapon when committing the  offense.   The
24    rules of evidence shall be the same as if at trial.  If after
25    the  hearing  the  court  finds  that  the  minor  should  be
26    sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections,
27    then  the  court  shall sentence the minor accordingly having
28    available to it any or all dispositions so prescribed.
29        (6)  The definition of  delinquent  minor  under  Section
30    5-120  of  this  Article  shall  not  apply to any minor who,
31    pursuant to subsection (1), (2), or (3) or Section 5-805,  or
32    5-810,  has  previously been placed under the jurisdiction of
33    the criminal court and has been convicted of a crime under an
34    adult criminal or  penal  statute.  Such  a  minor  shall  be

 1    subject to prosecution under the criminal laws of this State.
 2        (7)  The  procedures  set  out  in  this  Article for the
 3    investigation, arrest and prosecution of  juvenile  offenders
 4    shall  not apply to minors who are excluded from jurisdiction
 5    of the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 17  years  of
 6    age shall be kept separate from confined adults.
 7        (8)  Nothing   in   this  Act  prohibits  or  limits  the
 8    prosecution of any minor for an offense committed on or after
 9    his or her 17th birthday even though he or she is at the time
10    of the offense a ward of the court.
11        (9)  If an original petition for adjudication of wardship
12    alleges the commission by a minor 12 13 years of age or  over
13    of  an  act  that  constitutes a crime under the laws of this
14    State, the minor, with the consent of  his  or  her  counsel,
15    may,  at  any  time  before  commencement of the adjudicatory
16    hearing,  file  with  the  court  a  motion   that   criminal
17    prosecution  be  ordered  and  that the petition be dismissed
18    insofar  as  the  act  or  acts  involved  in  the   criminal
19    proceedings  are  concerned.  If  such  a  motion is filed as
20    herein provided, the court shall enter its order accordingly.

23        Sec. 5-710.  Kinds of sentencing orders.
24        (1)  The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made
25    in respect of wards of the court:
26             (a)  Except as provided in  Sections  5-805,  5-810,
27        5-815,  a  minor  who is found guilty under Section 5-620
28        may be:
29                  (i)  put on probation or conditional  discharge
30             and  released  to  his  or  her parents, guardian or
31             legal custodian, provided, however,  that  any  such
32             minor  who  is  not  committed  to the Department of
33             Corrections, Juvenile Division under this subsection
 
                            -12-               LRB9100028RCks
 1             and who is found to be a delinquent for  an  offense
 2             which is first degree murder, a Class X felony, or a
 3             forcible felony shall be placed on probation;
 4                  (ii)  placed  in accordance with Section 5-740,
 5             with or without  also  being  put  on  probation  or
 6             conditional discharge;
 7                  (iii)  required  to  undergo  a substance abuse
 8             assessment conducted  by  a  licensed  provider  and
 9             participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
10                  (iv)  placed   in   the   guardianship  of  the
11             Department of Children and Family Services, but only
12             if the delinquent minor is under 12 13 years of age;
13                  (v)  placed in detention for a  period  not  to
14             exceed  30  days,  either  as the exclusive order of
15             disposition or, where  appropriate,  in  conjunction
16             with  any  other  order  of disposition issued under
17             this paragraph, provided  that  any  such  detention
18             shall  be in a juvenile detention home and the minor
19             so detained shall be  10  years  of  age  or  older.
20             However,  the  30-day  limitation may be extended by
21             further order of the court for a minor under age 12
22             13 committed  to  the  Department  of  Children  and
23             Family Services if the court finds that the minor is
24             a  danger  to himself or others.  The minor shall be
25             given credit on the sentencing  order  of  detention
26             for  time  spent  in detention under Sections 5-501,
27             5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as  a  result
28             of  the  offense  for which the sentencing order was
29             imposed. The court may grant credit on a  sentencing
30             order  of  detention  entered  under  a violation of
31             probation  or  violation  of  conditional  discharge
32             under Section 5-720 of this Article for  time  spent
33             in  detention  before  the  filing  of  the petition
34             alleging  the  violation.   A  minor  shall  not  be
 
                            -13-               LRB9100028RCks
 1             deprived of  credit  for  time  spent  in  detention
 2             before  the  filing  of  a violation of probation or
 3             conditional discharge alleging the same  or  related
 4             act or acts;
 5                  (vi)  ordered     partially    or    completely
 6             emancipated in accordance with the provisions of the
 7             Emancipation of Mature Minors Act;
 8                  (vii)  subject to having his  or  her  driver's
 9             license  or  driving  privileges  suspended for such
10             time as determined by the court but only until he or
11             she attains 18 years of age; or
12                  (viii)  put   on   probation   or   conditional
13             discharge and  placed  in  detention  under  Section
14             3-6039  of  the  Counties  Code  for a period not to
15             exceed the period of incarceration permitted by  law
16             for  adults  found  guilty  of  the  same offense or
17             offenses  for  which  the  minor   was   adjudicated
18             delinquent,  and  in  any  event no longer than upon
19             attainment  of  age  21;  this  subdivision   (viii)
20             notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law.
21             (b)  A  minor found to be guilty may be committed to
22        the Department of Corrections, Juvenile  Division,  under
23        Section  5-750  if  the  minor  is  12 13 years of age or
24        older, provided that the commitment to the Department  of
25        Corrections,  Juvenile  Division, shall be made only if a
26        term of incarceration is  permitted  by  law  for  adults
27        found  guilty  of  the  offense  for  which the minor was
28        adjudicated delinquent.  The time during which a minor is
29        in custody before being released upon the  request  of  a
30        parent,  guardian  or legal custodian shall be considered
31        as time spent in detention.
32             (c)  When a minor is  found  to  be  guilty  for  an
33        offense  which  is a violation of the Illinois Controlled
34        Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act   and  made  a
 
                            -14-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        ward  of  the  court,  the  court may enter a disposition
 2        order  requiring  the  minor   to   undergo   assessment,
 3        counseling  or  treatment  in  a  substance abuse program
 4        approved by the Department of Human Services.
 5        (2)  Any sentencing order other than  commitment  to  the
 6    Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division, may provide for
 7    protective supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an
 8    order of protection under Section 5-730.
 9        (3)  Unless  the  sentencing order expressly so provides,
10    it does not operate  to  close  proceedings  on  the  pending
11    petition,  but is subject to modification until final closing
12    and discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
13        (4)  In addition to any other  sentence,  the  court  may
14    order  any  minor found to be delinquent to make restitution,
15    in  monetary  or  non-monetary  form,  under  the  terms  and
16    conditions  of  Section  5-5-6  of  the   Unified   Code   of
17    Corrections, except that the "presentencing hearing" referred
18    to  in  that  Section  shall  be  the  sentencing hearing for
19    purposes of this Section.   The  parent,  guardian  or  legal
20    custodian  of  the  minor  may be ordered by the court to pay
21    some or  all  of  the  restitution  on  the  minor's  behalf,
22    pursuant  to  the  Parental Responsibility Law.   The State's
23    Attorney is authorized to act on  behalf  of  any  victim  in
24    seeking  restitution in proceedings under this Section, up to
25    the maximum amount allowed  in  Section  5  of  the  Parental
26    Responsibility Law.
27        (5)  Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
28    placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
29    parents  or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the
30    legal custodian or guardian of the person of the  minor  such
31    sums  as  are  determined by the custodian or guardian of the
32    person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs.   The
33    payments  may  not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
34    Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
 
                            -15-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        (6)  Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor  to
 2    attend  school  or  participate in a program of training, the
 3    truant officer or designated school official shall  regularly
 4    report  to  the  court  if the minor is a chronic or habitual
 5    truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
 6        (7)  In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
 7    Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division for a period  of
 8    time  in  excess  of  that period for which an adult could be
 9    committed for the same act.
10        (8)  A minor found to be guilty for reasons that  include
11    a  violation  of  Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961
12    shall be ordered to perform community service  for  not  less
13    than  30 and not more than 120 hours, if community service is
14    available in the jurisdiction.  The community  service  shall
15    include,  but  need not be limited to, the cleanup and repair
16    of the damage that was caused by  the  violation  or  similar
17    damage  to  property located in the municipality or county in
18    which the violation occurred.  The order may be  in  addition
19    to any other order authorized by this Section.
20        (9)  In addition to any other sentencing order, the court
21    shall  order  any  minor  found to be guilty for an act which
22    would constitute, predatory  criminal  sexual  assault  of  a
23    child,  aggravated  criminal  sexual assault, criminal sexual
24    assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual
25    abuse if committed by an adult to undergo medical testing  to
26    determine    whether   the   defendant   has   any   sexually
27    transmissible disease including a  test  for  infection  with
28    human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV) or any other identified
29    causative  agency  of  acquired   immunodeficiency   syndrome
30    (AIDS).    Any  medical  test  shall  be  performed  only  by
31    appropriately licensed medical practitioners and may  include
32    an analysis of any bodily fluids as well as an examination of
33    the  minor's person. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
34    results of the test shall be kept  strictly  confidential  by
 
                            -16-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    all  medical  personnel  involved  in the testing and must be
 2    personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the judge of the
 3    court in which the  sentencing  order  was  entered  for  the
 4    judge's  inspection in camera.  Acting in accordance with the
 5    best interests of the victim and the public, the judge  shall
 6    have  the  discretion to determine to whom the results of the
 7    testing may be revealed.  The court shall notify the minor of
 8    the  results  of  the  test  for  infection  with  the  human
 9    immunodeficiency virus (HIV).  The court  shall  also  notify
10    the  victim  if requested by the victim, and if the victim is
11    under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's  parents
12    or  legal  guardian,  the  court  shall  notify  the victim's
13    parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the test for
14    infection with the human immunodeficiency virus  (HIV).   The
15    court  shall  provide  information on the availability of HIV
16    testing and counseling at the  Department  of  Public  Health
17    facilities  to all parties to whom the results of the testing
18    are revealed.  The court shall order that  the  cost  of  any
19    test  shall  be  paid by the county and may be taxed as costs
20    against the minor.
21        (10)  When a court finds a minor to be guilty  the  court
22    shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
23    make a finding whether the offense committed either:  (a) was
24    related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
25    organized  gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
26    or allegiance  to  an  organized  gang,  or  (b)  involved  a
27    violation of subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal
28    Code of 1961, a violation of any Section of Article 24 of the
29    Criminal  Code  of  1961,  or a violation of any statute that
30    involved the  wrongful  use  of  a  firearm.   If  the  court
31    determines  the  question  in  the affirmative, and the court
32    does not commit the minor to the Department  of  Corrections,
33    Juvenile Division, the court shall order the minor to perform
34    community  service  for  not less than 30 hours nor more than
 
                            -17-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    120 hours, provided that community service  is  available  in
 2    the  jurisdiction  and  is  funded and approved by the county
 3    board of the county where the  offense  was  committed.   The
 4    community  service shall include, but need not be limited to,
 5    the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
 6    Section 21-1.3 of the  Criminal  Code  of  1961  and  similar
 7    damage  to  property located in the municipality or county in
 8    which the violation occurred.  When possible and  reasonable,
 9    the  community  service  shall  be  performed  in the minor's
10    neighborhood.  This order shall be in addition to  any  other
11    order authorized by this Section except for an order to place
12    the  minor  in  the custody of the Department of Corrections,
13    Juvenile  Division.   For  the  purposes  of  this   Section,
14    "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 10
15    of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

19    Juvenile Division.
20        (1)  Except   as  provided  in  subsection  (2)  of  this
21    Section, when any delinquent has been adjudged a ward of  the
22    court  under this Act, the court may commit him or her to the
23    Department of Corrections, Juvenile  Division,  if  it  finds
24    that  (a) his or her parents, guardian or legal custodian are
25    unfit or are unable, for some  reason  other  than  financial
26    circumstances   alone,   to   care  for,  protect,  train  or
27    discipline the minor, or are unwilling to do so, and the best
28    interests of the minor and the public will not be  served  by
29    placement  under  Section  5-740   or; (b) it is necessary to
30    ensure the protection of the public from the consequences  of
31    criminal activity of the delinquent.
32        (2)  When  a  minor of the age of at least 12 13 years is
33    adjudged delinquent for the offense of first  degree  murder,
 
                            -18-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    the  court  shall  declare  the minor a ward of the court and
 2    order the minor committed to the Department  of  Corrections,
 3    Juvenile  Division,  until the minor's 21st birthday, without
 4    the  possibility  of  parole,  furlough,   or   non-emergency
 5    authorized  absence for a period of 5 years from the date the
 6    minor was committed to the Department of Corrections,  except
 7    that  the  time that a minor spent in custody for the instant
 8    offense before being committed to  the  Department  shall  be
 9    considered  as  time  credited  towards  that  5 year period.
10    Nothing in this subsection (2)  shall  preclude  the  State's
11    Attorney  from seeking to prosecute a minor as an adult as an
12    alternative to proceeding under this Act.
13        (3)  Except as provided in subsection (2), the commitment
14    of a delinquent to the Department of Corrections shall be for
15    an indeterminate term  which  shall  automatically  terminate
16    upon  the delinquent attaining the age of 21 years unless the
17    delinquent is sooner discharged from parole or  custodianship
18    is  otherwise  terminated  in  accordance with this Act or as
19    otherwise provided for by law.
20        (4)  When the court commits a minor to the Department  of
21    Corrections,  it shall order him or her conveyed forthwith to
22    the appropriate reception station or other  place  designated
23    by  the  Department  of  Corrections,  and  shall appoint the
24    Assistant Director of Corrections, Juvenile  Division,  legal
25    custodian  of  the minor.  The clerk of the court shall issue
26    to the Assistant Director of Corrections, Juvenile  Division,
27    a certified copy of the order, which constitutes proof of the
28    Director's authority.  No other process need issue to warrant
29    the keeping of the minor.
30        (5)  If  a  minor  is  committed  to  the  Department  of
31    Corrections,  Juvenile Division, the clerk of the court shall
32    forward to the Department:
33             (a)  the disposition ordered;
34             (b)  all reports;
 
                            -19-               LRB9100028RCks
 1             (c)  the court's statement of the basis for ordering
 2        the disposition;  and
 3             (d)  all additional matters which the court  directs
 4        the clerk to transmit.
 5        (6)  Whenever  the  Department  of  Corrections  lawfully
 6    discharges  from its custody and control a minor committed to
 7    it, the Assistant Director of Corrections, Juvenile Division,
 8    shall petition the court for an order terminating his or  her
 9    custodianship.     The    custodianship    shall    terminate
10    automatically  30  days  after receipt of the petition unless
11    the court orders otherwise.

15        (1)  Mandatory transfers.
16             (a)  If a petition alleges commission by a minor  15
17        years  of  age  or  older  of  an  act that constitutes a
18        forcible felony under the laws of this State,  and  if  a
19        motion  by  the  State's  Attorney to prosecute the minor
20        under the criminal  laws  of  Illinois  for  the  alleged
21        forcible felony alleges that (i) the minor has previously
22        been   adjudicated   delinquent   or   found  guilty  for
23        commission of an act that constitutes a felony under  the
24        laws  of  this  State or any other state and (ii) the act
25        that constitutes the offense was committed in furtherance
26        of criminal activity by an organized gang,  the  Juvenile
27        Judge assigned to hear and determine those motions shall,
28        upon  determining  that there is probable cause that both

30        prosecution under the criminal laws of Illinois.
31             (b)  If  a petition alleges commission by a minor 15
32        years of age or older of an act that constitutes a felony
33        under the laws of this  State,  and  if  a  motion  by  a

 1        State's   Attorney  to  prosecute  the  minor  under  the
 2        criminal laws of Illinois for the alleged felony  alleges
 3        that  (i)  the  minor  has  previously  been  adjudicated
 4        delinquent  or found guilty for commission of an act that
 5        constitutes a forcible felony  under  the  laws  of  this
 6        State   or   any  other  state  and  (ii)  the  act  that
 7        constitutes the offense was committed in  furtherance  of
 8        criminal  activities  by  an organized gang, the Juvenile
 9        Judge assigned to hear and determine those motions shall,
10        upon determining that there is probable cause  that  both
11        allegations   are   true,   enter   an  order  permitting
12        prosecution under the criminal laws of Illinois.
13             (c)  If a petition alleges commission by a minor  15
14        years  of age or older of: (i) an act that constitutes an
15        offense enumerated in the presumptive transfer provisions
16        of subsection (2); and (ii) the minor has previously been
17        adjudicated delinquent or  found  guilty  of  a  forcible
18        felony,   the  Juvenile  Judge  designated  to  hear  and
19        determine those  motions  shall,  upon  determining  that
20        there  is  probable cause that both allegations are true,
21        enter an order permitting prosecution under the  criminal
22        laws of Illinois.
23        (2)  Presumptive transfer.
24             (a)  If  the  State's  Attorney files a petition, at
25        any time prior to commencement of the minor's  trial,  to
26        permit  prosecution  under  the  criminal  laws  and  the
27        petition  alleges  the  commission by a minor 15 years of
28        age or older of: (i) a Class X felony  other  than  armed
29        violence;  (ii) aggravated discharge of a firearm;  (iii)
30        armed violence with a firearm when the predicate  offense
31        is a Class 1 or Class 2 felony and the State's Attorney's
32        motion  to  transfer  the  case  alleges that the offense
33        committed is in furtherance of the criminal activities of
34        an organized gang; (iv) armed  violence  with  a  firearm
 
                            -21-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        when the predicate offense is a violation of the Illinois
 2        Controlled  Substances Act or a violation of the Cannabis
 3        Control Act; (v) armed violence when the weapon  involved
 4        was a machine gun or other weapon described in subsection
 5        (a)(7) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, and,
 6        if  the  juvenile  judge  assigned  to hear and determine
 7        motions  to  transfer  a  case  for  prosecution  in  the
 8        criminal court determines that there is probable cause to
 9        believe that the allegations in the petition  and  motion
10        are  true,  there  is  a  rebuttable presumption that the
11        minor is not a fit and proper subject to  be  dealt  with
12        under the Juvenile Justice Reform Provisions of 1998, and
13        that,  except  as  provided  in  paragraph  (b), the case
14        should be transferred to the criminal court.
15             (b)  The  judge  shall  enter  an  order  permitting
16        prosecution under the criminal laws  of  Illinois  unless
17        the  judge  makes a finding based on clear and convincing
18        evidence that the minor would be amenable  to  the  care,
19        treatment,  and  training  programs available through the
20        facilities of the juvenile court based on  an  evaluation
21        of the following:
22             (i)  The seriousness of the alleged offense;
23             (ii)  The minor's history of delinquency;
24             (iii)  The age of the minor;
25             (iv)    The  culpability  of the minor in committing
26        the alleged offense;
27             (v)  Whether  the  offense  was  committed   in   an
28        aggressive or premeditated manner;
29             (vi)  Whether  the  minor used or possessed a deadly
30        weapon when committing the alleged offense;
31             (vii)  The minor's history  of  services,  including
32        the  minor's  willingness  to participate meaningfully in
33        available services;
34             (viii) Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
 
                            -22-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        the minor can be rehabilitated before the  expiration  of
 2        the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
 3             (ix)  The  adequacy  of  the  punishment or services
 4        available in the juvenile justice system.
 5        In  considering  these  factors,  the  court  shall  give
 6    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense  and
 7    the  minor's  prior  record  of delinquency than to the other
 8    factors listed in this subsection.
 9        (3)  Discretionary transfer.
10             (a)  If a petition alleges commission by a minor 12
11        13 years of age or over of  an  act  that  constitutes  a
12        crime  under the laws of this State and, on motion of the
13        State's Attorney to permit prosecution of the minor under
14        the criminal laws, a Juvenile Judge assigned by the Chief
15        Judge of the Circuit to hear and determine those motions,
16        after hearing but before commencement of the trial, finds
17        that  there  is  probable  cause  to  believe  that   the
18        allegations  in the motion are true and that it is not in
19        the best interests of the public to  proceed  under  this
20        Act,  the court may enter an order permitting prosecution
21        under the criminal laws.
22             (b)  In making its determination on  the  motion  to
23        permit  prosecution  under  the  criminal laws, the court
24        shall consider among other matters:
25             (i)  The seriousness of the alleged offense;
26             (ii)  The minor's history of delinquency;
27             (iii)  The age of the minor;
28             (iv)  The culpability of the minor in committing the
29        alleged offense;
30             (v)  Whether  the  offense  was  committed   in   an
31        aggressive or premeditated manner;
32             (vi)  Whether  the  minor used or possessed a deadly
33        weapon when committing the alleged offense;
34             (vii)  The minor's history  of  services,  including
 
                            -23-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        the  minor's  willingness  to participate meaningfully in
 2        available services;
 3             (viii)  The adequacy of the punishment  or  services
 4        available in the juvenile justice system.
 5        In  considering  these  factors,  the  court  shall  give
 6    greater  weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and
 7    the minor's prior record of delinquency  than  to  the  other
 8    factors listed in this subsection.
 9        (4)  The  rules of evidence for this hearing shall be the
10    same as under Section 5-705 of this Act.   A  minor  must  be
11    represented  in  court  by  counsel before the hearing may be
12    commenced.
13        (5)  If criminal proceedings are instituted, the petition
14    for adjudication of wardship shall be  dismissed  insofar  as
15    the act or acts involved in the criminal proceedings.  Taking
16    of  evidence  in  a  trial  on  petition  for adjudication of
17    wardship is a bar to  criminal  proceedings  based  upon  the
18    conduct alleged in the petition.

21        Sec. 5-810.  Extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions.
22        (1)  If  the  State's  Attorney  files a petition, at any
23    time prior to commencement of the minor's trial, to designate
24    the  proceeding  as   an   extended   jurisdiction   juvenile
25    prosecution  and  the  petition  alleges  the commission by a
26    minor 12 13 years of age or older of any offense which  would
27    be  a  felony  if committed by an adult, and, if the juvenile
28    judge assigned to hear and determine petitions  to  designate
29    the   proceeding   as   an   extended  jurisdiction  juvenile
30    prosecution  determines  that  there  is  probable  cause  to
31    believe that the allegations in the petition and  motion  are
32    true,  there  is a rebuttable presumption that the proceeding
33    shall be designated  as  an  extended  jurisdiction  juvenile
 
                            -24-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    proceeding.
 2        (b)  The  judge  shall  enter  an  order  designating the
 3    proceeding as an extended  jurisdiction  juvenile  proceeding
 4    unless   the  judge  makes  a  finding  based  on  clear  and
 5    convincing evidence that sentencing under the  Chapter  V  of
 6    the  Unified Code of Corrections would not be appropriate for
 7    the minor based on an evaluation of the following factors:
 8             (i)  The seriousness of the alleged offense;
 9             (ii)  The minor's history of delinquency;
10             (iii)  The age of the minor;
11             (iv)  The culpability of the minor in committing the
12        alleged offense;
13             (v)  Whether  the  offense  was  committed   in   an
14        aggressive or premeditated manner;
15             (vi)  Whether  the  minor used or possessed a deadly
16        weapon when committing the alleged offense.
17        In  considering  these  factors,  the  court  shall  give
18    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense  and
19    the minor's prior record of delinquency than to other factors
20    listed in this subsection.
21        (2)  Procedures   for   extended   jurisdiction  juvenile
22    prosecutions.
23             (a)  The State's Attorney may file a written  motion
24        for a proceeding to be designated as an extended juvenile
25        jurisdiction  prior  to commencement of trial.  Notice of
26        the motion shall be in  compliance  with  Section  5-530.
27        When  the  State's Attorney files a written motion that a
28        proceeding  be  designated   an   extended   jurisdiction
29        juvenile  prosecution, the court shall commence a hearing
30        within  30  days  of  the  filing  of  the   motion   for
31        designation,   unless   good   cause   is  shown  by  the
32        prosecution or the minor as to why the hearing could  not
33        be held within this time period.  If the court finds good
34        cause  has  been  demonstrated, then the hearing shall be
 
                            -25-               LRB9100028RCks
 1        held within 60 days of the filing  of  the  motion.   The
 2        hearings  shall  be  open  to the public unless the judge
 3        finds  that  the  hearing  should  be  closed   for   the
 4        protection  of  any  party,  victim  or  witness.  If the
 5        Juvenile Judge assigned to hear and determine a motion to
 6        designate an extended jurisdiction  juvenile  prosecution
 7        determines  that  there is probable cause to believe that
 8        the allegations in the petition and motion are  true  the
 9        court   shall   grant   the   motion   for   designation.
10        Information  used  by the court in its findings or stated
11        in or offered in connection with this Section may  be  by
12        way  of  proffer based on reliable information offered by
13        the State or the minor.  All evidence shall be admissible
14        if it is relevant and reliable regardless of  whether  it
15        would be admissible under the rules of evidence.
16        (3)  Trial.   A  minor  who  is  subject  of  an extended
17    jurisdiction juvenile prosecution has the right to  trial  by
18    jury.   Any  trial  under  this  Section shall be open to the
19    public.
20        (4)  Sentencing.  If an  extended  jurisdiction  juvenile
21    prosecution under subsections (1) results in a guilty plea, a
22    verdict  of  guilty,  or  a finding of guilt, the court shall
23    impose the following:
24             (i)  one or more juvenile  sentences  under  Section
25        5-710; and
26             (ii)  an  adult criminal sentence in accordance with
27        the provisions of  Chapter  V  of  the  Unified  Code  of
28        Corrections,  the  execution  of which shall be stayed on
29        the  condition  that  the  offender   not   violate   the
30        provisions of the juvenile sentence.
31    Any  sentencing  hearing  under this Section shall be open to
32    the public.
33        (5)  If,  after   an   extended   jurisdiction   juvenile
34    prosecution  trial, a minor is convicted of a lesser-included
 
                            -26-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    offense or of an offense that the State's  Attorney  did  not
 2    designate  as  an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution,
 3    the State's Attorney may file a  written  motion,  within  10
 4    days  of the finding of guilt, that the minor be sentenced as
 5    an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution offender.   The
 6    court  shall  rule  on this motion using the factors found in
 7    paragraph (1) (b) of Section 5-805.  If the court denies  the
 8    State's  Attorney's  motion for sentencing under the extended
 9    jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the court  shall
10    proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
11        (6)  When  it  appears  that  a  minor  convicted  in  an
12    extended  jurisdiction  juvenile prosecution under subsection
13    (1) has violated the conditions of his or her sentence, or is
14    alleged to have committed a new offense upon the filing of  a
15    petition  to  revoke the stay, the court may, without notice,
16    issue a warrant for the arrest of the minor. After a hearing,
17    if the court finds by a preponderance of  the  evidence  that
18    the  minor  committed  a  new offense, the court  shall order
19    execution of the previously imposed adult criminal  sentence.
20    After a hearing, if the court finds by a preponderance of the
21    evidence  that  the minor committed a violation of his or her
22    sentence other than by a new offense,  the  court  may  order
23    execution  of  the previously imposed adult criminal sentence
24    or may continue him or her on the existing juvenile  sentence
25    with  or  without modifying or enlarging the conditions. Upon
26    revocation of the stay of the  adult  criminal  sentence  and
27    imposition   of   that   sentence,   the   minor's   extended
28    jurisdiction   juvenile   status  shall  be  terminated.  The
29    on-going jurisdiction over the minor's case shall be  assumed
30    by  the  adult criminal court and juvenile court jurisdiction
31    shall be terminated and a report of  the  imposition  of  the
32    adult  sentence  shall  be  sent  to  the Department of State
33    Police.
34        (7)  Upon successful completion of the juvenile  sentence
 
                            -27-               LRB9100028RCks
 1    the court shall vacate the adult criminal sentence.
 2        (8)  Nothing  in  this  Section  precludes the State from
 3    filing a motion for transfer under Section 5-805.

12             information  reported  relative  to  these  offenses
13             shall  be  privileged  and  available  only  to  the
