|
|
1 | | AN ACT concerning courts.
|
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 5-720 as follows:
|
6 | | (705 ILCS 405/5-720)
|
7 | | Sec. 5-720. Probation revocation.
|
8 | | (1) If a petition is filed charging a violation of a |
9 | | condition of
probation or of conditional discharge, the court |
10 | | shall:
|
11 | | (a) order the minor to appear; or
|
12 | | (b) order the minor's detention if the court finds that |
13 | | the detention is
a matter of immediate and urgent necessity |
14 | | for the protection of the minor or
of the person or |
15 | | property of another or that the minor is likely to flee the
|
16 | | jurisdiction of the court, provided that any such detention |
17 | | shall be in a
juvenile detention home and the minor so |
18 | | detained shall be 10 years of age or
older; and
|
19 | | (c) notify the persons named in the petition under |
20 | | Section 5-520, in
accordance with the provisions of Section |
21 | | 5-530.
|
22 | | A minor 17 years of age or older ordered to be placed in |
23 | | detention under paragraph (b) of subsection (1) may be confined |
|
| | SB2232 | - 2 - | LRB098 10311 RLC 40638 b |
|
|
1 | | in a county jail. In making a determination whether to confine |
2 | | a minor 17 years of age or older who has a petition filed under |
3 | | this Section against the minor, these factors, among other |
4 | | matters, shall be considered: |
5 | | (i) the age of the minor; |
6 | | (ii) any previous delinquent or criminal history of the |
7 | | minor; |
8 | | (iii) any previous abuse or neglect history of the |
9 | | minor; and |
10 | | (iv) any mental health or educational history of the |
11 | | minor, or both. |
12 | | In making its detention determination under paragraph (b) |
13 | | of this subsection
(1) of this
Section, the court may use |
14 | | information in its findings offered at such a
hearing by way of |
15 | | proffer based upon reliable information presented by the
State, |
16 | | probation officer, or the minor. The filing of a petition for |
17 | | violation
of a condition of probation or of conditional |
18 | | discharge shall toll the period
of probation or of conditional |
19 | | discharge until the final determination of the
charge, and the |
20 | | term of probation or conditional discharge shall not run until
|
21 | | the hearing and disposition of the petition for violation.
|
22 | | (2) The court shall conduct a hearing of the alleged |
23 | | violation of
probation or of
conditional discharge. The minor |
24 | | shall not be held in detention longer than 15
days pending the |
25 | | determination of the alleged violation.
|
26 | | (3) At the hearing, the State shall have the burden of |
|
| | SB2232 | - 3 - | LRB098 10311 RLC 40638 b |
|
|
1 | | going forward with
the evidence and proving the violation by a |
2 | | preponderance of the evidence.
The evidence shall be presented |
3 | | in court with the right of confrontation,
cross-examination, |
4 | | and representation by counsel.
|
5 | | (4) If the court finds that the minor has
violated a |
6 | | condition at any time prior to the expiration or termination of |
7 | | the
period of probation or conditional discharge, it
may |
8 | | continue him or her on the existing sentence, with or without |
9 | | modifying
or
enlarging the conditions, or may revoke probation |
10 | | or conditional discharge and
impose any other sentence that was |
11 | | available under Section 5-710 at the time
of the initial |
12 | | sentence.
|
13 | | (5) The conditions of probation and of conditional |
14 | | discharge may be
reduced or enlarged by the court on motion of |
15 | | the probation officer or on its
own motion or at the request of |
16 | | the minor after notice and hearing under this
Section.
|
17 | | (6) Sentencing after revocation of probation or of |
18 | | conditional discharge
shall be under Section 5-705.
|
19 | | (7) Instead of filing a violation of probation or of |
20 | | conditional
discharge, the probation officer, with the |
21 | | concurrence of his or her
supervisor, may serve on the minor a |
22 | | notice of intermediate sanctions. The
notice shall contain the |
23 | | technical violation or violations involved, the date
or dates |
24 | | of the violation or violations, and the intermediate sanctions |
25 | | to be
imposed. Upon receipt of the notice, the minor shall |
26 | | immediately accept or
reject the intermediate sanctions. If the |
|
| | SB2232 | - 4 - | LRB098 10311 RLC 40638 b |
|
|
1 | | sanctions are accepted, they shall
be imposed immediately. If |
2 | | the intermediate sanctions are rejected or the
minor does not |
3 | | respond to the notice, a violation
of probation or of |
4 | | conditional discharge shall be immediately filed with the
|
5 | | court. The State's Attorney and the sentencing court shall be |
6 | | notified of the
notice of sanctions. Upon successful completion |
7 | | of the intermediate sanctions,
a court may not revoke probation |
8 | | or conditional discharge or impose additional
sanctions for the |
9 | | same violation. A notice of intermediate sanctions may not
be |
10 | | issued for any violation of probation or conditional discharge |
11 | | which could
warrant an additional, separate felony charge.
