    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Department of Human Services Act is amended
by changing Section 1-60 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 1305/1-60)
    Sec. 1-60. Pilot study. The Department of Human Services
shall prepare 2 reports on the impact of the provisions of
subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963. A preliminary report shall be prepared and
submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by November
1, 2012. A final report shall be prepared and submitted to the
Governor and the General Assembly by October 1, 2013. The
Department of Human Services shall prepare a report on the
impact, after January 1, 2014, of the provisions of subsection
(c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963. The report shall be prepared and submitted to the
Governor and the General Assembly on or before January 2, 2016.
Each report shall be posted on the Department's website within
a week of its submission. Each report shall discuss the number
of admissions during the reporting period, any delay in
admissions, the number of persons returned to the county under
the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code
of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any issues the county
sheriffs or other county officials are having with the returns.
Each report shall include a recommendation from the Department
of Human Services and one from an association representing
Illinois sheriffs whether to continue the pilot study. If
either report indicates that there are serious deleterious
effects from the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or that the
provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963 are not producing adequate results,
the General Assembly may take necessary steps to eliminate the
provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963 prior to January 1, 2014.
