HB0649 Engrossed- 10 -LRB100 06743 RLC 16784 b

1transmit this information to the Department within 5 days. If
2the court orders that the evaluation be done on an inpatient
3basis, the Department shall evaluate the defendant to determine
4to which secure facility the defendant shall be transported
5and, within 20 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the
6circuit court of the placement court order, notify the sheriff
7of the designated facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the

11the defendant shall remain in jail. If, within 20 days of the
12transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the placement
13court order, the Department fails to notify the sheriff of the
14identity of the facility to which the defendant shall be
15transported, the sheriff shall contact a designated person
16within the Department to inquire about when a placement will
17become available at the designated facility and bed

12defendant has not fulfilled the conditions of release, the
13Court shall order a hearing to be held consistent with the
14provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of this Section. At such
15hearing, if the Court finds that the defendant is in need of
16mental health services on an inpatient basis, it shall enter an
17order remanding him or her to the Department of Human Services

21compelling reasons that such placement is not necessary. If the
22Court finds that the defendant continues to be in need of
23mental health services but not on an inpatient basis, it may
24modify the conditions of the original release in order to
25reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
26treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in
