1 | AN ACT concerning minors.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing
Section 5-810 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (705 ILCS 405/5-810)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 5-810. Extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions.
| |||||||||||||||||||
8 | (1) (a) If the State's Attorney files a petition, at any | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | time prior to
commencement of the
minor's trial, to designate | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile
| |||||||||||||||||||
11 | prosecution and the petition alleges the commission by a minor | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | 13 years of age
or
older of any offense which would be a felony | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | if committed by an adult, and, if
the
juvenile judge
assigned | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | to hear and determine petitions to designate the proceeding as | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | an
extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines that | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | there is probable
cause to believe that the allegations in the | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | petition and motion are true,
there is a rebuttable presumption | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | that the proceeding shall be designated as an
extended | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
| |||||||||||||||||||
20 | (b) The judge shall enter an order designating the | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | proceeding as an
extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | unless the judge makes a finding
based on clear and convincing | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | evidence that sentencing under the Chapter V of
the Unified | |||||||||||||||||||
24 | Code of Corrections would not be appropriate for the minor | |||||||||||||||||||
25 | based on
an evaluation of the
following factors:
| |||||||||||||||||||
26 | (i) The seriousness of the alleged offense;
| |||||||||||||||||||
27 | (ii) The minor's history of delinquency;
| |||||||||||||||||||
28 | (iii) The age of the minor;
| |||||||||||||||||||
29 | (iv) The culpability of the minor in committing the | |||||||||||||||||||
30 | alleged offense;
| |||||||||||||||||||
31 | (v) Whether the offense was committed in an aggressive | |||||||||||||||||||
32 | or premeditated
manner;
|
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | (vi) Whether the minor used or possessed a deadly | ||||||
2 | weapon when
committing the alleged offense.
| ||||||
3 | In considering these factors, the court shall give greater | ||||||
4 | weight to the
seriousness of the alleged offense and the | ||||||
5 | minor's prior record of delinquency
than to other factors | ||||||
6 | listed in this subsection.
| ||||||
7 | (2) Procedures for extended
jurisdiction juvenile | ||||||
8 | prosecutions.
(a) The State's Attorney may file a written | ||||||
9 | motion for a proceeding to
be
designated as an extended | ||||||
10 | juvenile jurisdiction prior to
commencement of trial. Notice of | ||||||
11 | the motion shall be in
compliance with
Section 5-530. When the | ||||||
12 | State's Attorney files a written motion that a
proceeding be | ||||||
13 | designated an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the
| ||||||
14 | court shall commence a hearing within 30 days of the filing of | ||||||
15 | the motion for
designation, unless good cause is shown by the | ||||||
16 | prosecution or the minor as to
why the hearing could not be | ||||||
17 | held within this time period. If the court finds
good cause has | ||||||
18 | been demonstrated, then the hearing shall be held within 60 | ||||||
19 | days
of the filing of the motion. The hearings shall be open to | ||||||
20 | the public unless
the judge finds that the hearing should be | ||||||
21 | closed for the protection of any
party, victim or witness. If | ||||||
22 | the Juvenile Judge
assigned to hear and determine a motion to | ||||||
23 | designate an extended jurisdiction
juvenile prosecution | ||||||
24 | determines that there is probable cause to believe that
the | ||||||
25 | allegations in the petition and motion are true the court shall | ||||||
26 | grant the
motion for designation. Information used by the court | ||||||
27 | in its findings or
stated in or offered in connection with this | ||||||
28 | Section may be by way of proffer
based on reliable information | ||||||
29 | offered by the State or the minor. All evidence
shall be | ||||||
30 | admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless of whether | ||||||
31 | it
would be admissible under the rules of evidence.
| ||||||
32 | (3) Trial. A minor who is subject of an extended | ||||||
33 | jurisdiction juvenile
prosecution has the right to trial by | ||||||
34 | jury. Any trial under this Section shall
be open to the public.
| ||||||
35 | (4) Sentencing. If an extended jurisdiction juvenile | ||||||
36 | prosecution under
subsections (1)
results in a guilty plea, a |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilt,
the court shall | ||||||
2 | impose the following:
| ||||||
3 | (i) one or more juvenile sentences under Section 5-710; | ||||||
4 | and
| ||||||
5 | (ii) an adult criminal sentence in accordance with the | ||||||
6 | provisions of
Chapter V of the
Unified Code of
Corrections, | ||||||
7 | the execution of which shall be stayed on the condition | ||||||
8 | that the
offender not violate the provisions of the | ||||||
9 | juvenile sentence.
| ||||||
10 | Any sentencing hearing under
this Section shall be open to the | ||||||
11 | public.
| ||||||
12 | (5) If, after an extended jurisdiction juvenile | ||||||
13 | prosecution trial, a minor
is convicted of a lesser-included | ||||||
14 | offense or of an offense that the State's
Attorney did not | ||||||
15 | designate as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution,
| ||||||
16 | the State's Attorney may file a written motion, within 10 days | ||||||
17 | of the finding
of guilt, that
the minor be sentenced as an | ||||||
18 | extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution
offender. The court | ||||||
19 | shall rule on this motion using the factors found in
paragraph | ||||||
20 | (1) (b) of this Section 5-805 . If the court denies the
State's | ||||||
21 | Attorney's
motion for
sentencing under the extended | ||||||
22 | jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the
court shall | ||||||
23 | proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
| ||||||
24 | (6) When it appears that a minor convicted in an extended | ||||||
25 | jurisdiction
juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) has | ||||||
26 | violated the
conditions of his or her sentence, or is alleged | ||||||
27 | to have committed a new
offense upon the filing of a petition | ||||||
28 | to revoke the stay, the
court may, without notice, issue a | ||||||
29 | warrant for the arrest of the minor.
After a hearing, if the | ||||||
30 | court finds by a
preponderance of the evidence that the minor | ||||||
31 | committed a new offense, the
court shall order execution of the | ||||||
32 | previously
imposed adult criminal sentence.
After a hearing, if | ||||||
33 | the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence
that the | ||||||
34 | minor committed a violation of his or her sentence other than | ||||||
35 | by a new
offense, the court may order execution of the | ||||||
36 | previously imposed adult criminal
sentence or may continue him |
| |||||||
|
|||||||
1 | or her on the existing juvenile sentence with or
without | ||||||
2 | modifying or enlarging the conditions.
Upon revocation of the | ||||||
3 | stay of the adult criminal sentence
and imposition of
that | ||||||
4 | sentence, the minor's extended jurisdiction juvenile status | ||||||
5 | shall be
terminated.
The on-going jurisdiction over the minor's | ||||||
6 | case shall be assumed by the adult
criminal court and juvenile | ||||||
7 | court jurisdiction shall be terminated and a report
of
the | ||||||
8 | imposition of the adult sentence shall be sent to the | ||||||
9 | Department of State
Police.
| ||||||
10 | (7) Upon successful completion of the juvenile sentence the | ||||||
11 | court shall
vacate the adult criminal sentence.
| ||||||
12 | (8) Nothing in this Section precludes the State from filing | ||||||
13 | a motion for
transfer under Section 5-805.
