6that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
7throughout the State to children requiring such services.
8    (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for
9any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
10Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the
11contractor must post a surety bond in the amount of the advance
12disbursement and have a purchase of service contract approved
13by the Department. The Department may pay up to 2 months
14operational expenses in advance. The amount of the advance
15disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract or
16the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less, and
17the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
18bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
19shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated
20during 2 consecutive fiscal years. The requirements of this
21Section concerning advance disbursements shall not apply with
22respect to the following: payments to local public agencies for
23child day care services as authorized by Section 5a of this
24Act; and youth service programs receiving grant funds under
25Section 17a-4.

16    Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal Adoption
17    Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
18        (10) interstate services.
19    Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
20include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
21of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
22or resources, in alcohol and drug abuse screening techniques to
23identify substance use disorders, as defined in the Substance
24Use Disorder Act, approved by the Department of Human Services,
25as a successor to the Department of Alcoholism and Substance
26Abuse, for the purpose of identifying children and adults who

 

 

HB4795- 114 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1should be referred for an assessment at an organization
2appropriately licensed by the Department of Human Services for
3substance use disorder treatment to an alcohol and drug abuse
4treatment program for professional evaluation.
5    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
6program or facility within or available to the Department for a
7youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
8adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
9youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
10individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
11The plan may be developed within the Department or through
12purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
13within its statutory authority to do.
14    (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
15State and shall include but not be limited to the following
16services:
17        (1) case management;
18        (2) homemakers;
19        (3) counseling;
20        (4) parent education;

24to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
25        (1) comprehensive family-based services;
26        (2) assessments;

 

 

HB4795- 115 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1        (3) respite care; and
2        (4) in-home health services.
3    The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
4services it makes available to children or families or for
5which it refers children or families.
6    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
7assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
8establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
9grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
10disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
11children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
12in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
13assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
14available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
15dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
16been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
17died. The Department may continue to provide financial
18assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
19determined eligible for financial assistance under this
20subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
21adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
22new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
23parents. The Department may also provide categories of
24financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
25shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
26grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under

 

 

HB4795- 116 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
24-25 or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
3who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
4appointment of the guardian.
5    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
6of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
7annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
8allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
9may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
10the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
11of the child.
12    Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
13inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
14garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
15a judgment or debt.
16    (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
17of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
18either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
19outside of the State of Illinois.
20    (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
21child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
22dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
23the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
24    (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
25services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
26Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and

 

 

HB4795- 117 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1extended families. Family preservation services shall be
2offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
3care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
4custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
5(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
6maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
7shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
8children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
9in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
10family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
11other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
12subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set.
13Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
14private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
15or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
16subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
17of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
18facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
19hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
20of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
21out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
22reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
23    The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
24Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
25preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
26child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as

 

 

HB4795- 118 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
2offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
3report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
4prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
5Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
6or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
7considered in the investigation. The Department may also
8provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
9any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
10such child or family to services available from other agencies
11in the community, even if the report is determined to be
12unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
13are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
14reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
15services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
16services to any child or family after completion of a family
17assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
18under the "differential response program" provided for in
19subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
20Child Reporting Act.
21    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
22children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
23care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
24as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
25requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
26Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall

 

 

HB4795- 119 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1be committed to the Department by any court without the
2approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
3effective date of Public Act 98-803) this amendatory Act of the
498th General Assembly and before January 1, 2017, a minor
5charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
6or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall
7not be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department
8by any court, except (i) a minor less than 16 years of age
9committed to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile
10Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an independent basis
11of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined
12by departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
13granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
14to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
151987. On and after January 1, 2017, a minor charged with a
16criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
17Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be
18placed in the custody of or committed to the Department by any
19court, except (i) a minor less than 15 years of age committed
20to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act
21of 1987, ii) a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse,
22neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined by
23departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
24granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
25to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
261987. An independent basis exists when the allegations or

 

 

HB4795- 120 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from
2the same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise to a
3charge or adjudication of delinquency. The Department shall
4assign a caseworker to attend any hearing involving a youth in
5the care and custody of the Department who is placed on
6aftercare release, including hearings involving sanctions for
7violation of aftercare release conditions and aftercare
8release revocation hearings.
9    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
10date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
11implement a special program of family preservation services to
12support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
13experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
14of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
15developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
16services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
17child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
18or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
19Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
20family to services available from other agencies in the
21community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
22reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
23reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
24these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
25and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
26social service providers and the general public about these

 

 

HB4795- 121 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
2the services offered and the number of families served under
3the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
4determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
5allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
6disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
7including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
8as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
9Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
10Psychiatric Association.
11    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
12the child require that the child be placed in the most
13permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
14possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
15Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
16concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
17earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
18include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
19the family when the child can be cared for at home without
20endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
21the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
22is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
23permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
24    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
25to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
26reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the

 

 

HB4795- 122 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1paramount concern.
2    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
3ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
4prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
5child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
6reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
7unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
8of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
9Department believes that further reunification services would
10be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
11reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
12not required to provide further reunification services after
13such a finding.
14    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
15made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
16best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
17also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
18placement made is the best available placement to provide
19permanency for the child.
20    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
21planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
22shall consider the following factors when determining
23appropriateness of concurrent planning:
24        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
25        (2) the past history of the family;
26        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by

 

 

HB4795- 123 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    the family;
2        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
3        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
4    family to reunite;
5        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
6    provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
7        (7) the age of the child;
8        (8) placement of siblings.
9    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
10child if:
11        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
12    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
13    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
14    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
15    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
16        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
17    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
18If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
19guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
20may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
21custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
22in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
23custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
24apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
25resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
26enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's

 

 

HB4795- 124 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
2parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
3such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
4resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
5home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
6follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
75-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
8    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
9and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
10pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
11Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
12pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
13Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
14under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
15custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
16and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
17required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
18Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
19and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
20subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
211987.
22    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
23custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
24examination.
25    A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
26custody of the Department who would have custody of the child

 

 

HB4795- 125 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
2deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
3surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
4may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
5receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
6cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
7of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain
8temporary custody of the child until the court orders
9otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day 10 day
10period, the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
11requesting parent, guardian or custodian not later than the
12expiration of the 10-day 10 day period, at which time the
13authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
14temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
15    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
16age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
17that cares for children who are in need of secure living
18arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
19determination is made by the facility director and the Director
20or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
21subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
22This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
23to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
24Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
25child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
26Department before being subject to placement in a correctional

 

 

HB4795- 126 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
2placement of the child in a secure care facility.
3    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
4in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
5Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
6have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
7safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
8best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
9supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
10facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
11guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
12Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
13payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
14in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
15training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
16average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
17child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
18operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
19payments does not apply in cases where children require
20specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
21disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
22combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
23of such children are not available at payment rates within the
24limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
25services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
26assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.

 

 

HB4795- 127 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
2welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
3sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
4minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
5subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
61987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
7provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
8yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
9responsibility for the development and delivery of services
10under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
11this Section through the Department of Children and Family
12Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
13Youth participating in services under this Section shall
14cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
15agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
16youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
17homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
18youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
19Department shall continue child welfare services under this
20Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
21of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
22self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
23Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
24readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
25welfare services under this Section and how such services may
26be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and

 

 

HB4795- 128 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
2information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
3describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
4sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
5    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
6review and appeal process for children and families who request
7or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
8care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
9foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
10afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
11families in the case of placement by the Department, including
12the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
13that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
14welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
15affords those rights to children and foster families. The
16Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
17hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
18concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
19child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
20alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
21appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
22child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
23determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
24and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
251987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
26of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,

 

 

HB4795- 129 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1involving a change of placement decision.
2    (p) (Blank).
3    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
4for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of
5money or other property which is received on behalf of such
6children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
7or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
8the Department.
9    The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
10interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
11institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
12responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
13Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
14the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
15payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
16payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
17payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
18the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
19subsection.
20    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
21Department shall:
22        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
23    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
24    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
25    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
26    approve disbursements from children's accounts. The

 

 

HB4795- 130 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
2    records of all disbursements for each account for any
3    purpose.
4        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
5    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care

11    Sec. 4-9. Protective payment to substitute payee. If the
12parent or other grantee relative persistently mismanages the
13grant to the detriment of the child and the family but there is
14reason to believe that, with specialized counseling and
15guidance services, the parent or relative may develop ability
16to manage the funds properly, the County Department, in
17accordance with the rules and regulations of the Illinois
18Department, may designate a person who is interested in or
19concerned with the welfare of the child and its family to
20receive the aid payment on behalf of the family. The County
21Department may designate private welfare or social service
22agencies to serve as substitute payees in appropriate cases.

10longer requires treatment for substance use disorders alcohol
11or substance abuse, mental health services, or other special
12care or treatment.
13    A substitute payee may be removed, in accordance with the
14rules and regulations of the Illinois Department, for
15unsatisfactory service. The removal may be effected without
16hearing. The decision shall not be appealable to the Illinois
17Department nor shall it be reviewable in the courts.
18    The County Department shall conduct periodic reviews as may
19be required by the Illinois Department to determine whether
20there is a continuing need for a protective payment. If it
21appears that the need for the payment is likely to continue
22beyond a reasonable period, the County Department shall take
23one of the other actions set out in Section 4-8.
24    The parent or other relative shall be advised, in advance
25of a determination to make a protective payment, that he may
26appeal the decision to the Illinois Department under the

HB4795- 290 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1        (1) contain an employment goal of the participant;
2        (2) describe the services to be provided by the
3    Department, including child care and other support
4    services;
5        (3) describe the activities, such as component
6    assignment, that will be undertaken by the participant to
7    achieve the employment goal. The Department shall treat
8    participation in high school and high school equivalency
9    programs as a core activity and count participation in high
10    school and high school equivalency programs toward the
11    first 20 hours per week of participation. The Department
12    shall approve participation in high school or high school
13    equivalency programs upon written or oral request of the
14    participant if he or she has not already earned a high
15    school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate.
16    However, participation in high school or high school
17    equivalency programs may be delayed as part of an
18    applicant's or recipient's personal plan for achieving
19    employment and self-sufficiency if it is determined that
20    the benefit from participating in another activity, such
21    as, but not limited to, treatment for a substance use
22    disorder substance abuse or an English proficiency
23    program, would be greater to the applicant or recipient
24    than participation in high school or a high school
25    equivalency program. The availability of high school and
26    high school equivalency programs may also delay enrollment

 

 

HB4795- 291 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    in those programs. The Department shall treat such
2    activities as a core activity as long as satisfactory
3    progress is made, as determined by the high school or high
4    school equivalency program. Proof of satisfactory progress
5    shall be provided by the participant or the school at the
6    end of each academic term; and
7        (4) describe any other needs of the family that might
8    be met by the Department.
9    (g) The employability plan shall take into account:
10        (1) available program resources;
11        (2) the participant's support service needs;
12        (3) the participant's skills level and aptitudes;
13        (4) local employment opportunities; and
14        (5) the preferences of the participant.
15    (h) A reassessment shall be conducted to assess a
16participant's progress and to review the employability plan on
17the following occasions:
18        (1) upon completion of an activity and before
19    assignment to an activity;
20        (2) upon the request of the participant;
21        (3) if the individual is not cooperating with the
22    requirements of the program; and
23        (4) if the individual has failed to make satisfactory
24    progress in an education or training program.
25    Based on the reassessment, the Department may revise the
26employability plan of the participant.

8            (iv) on and after the effective date of this
9        amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and before
10        January 1, 2017, placed in the guardianship of the
11        Department of Children and Family Services, but only if
12        the delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or,
13        pursuant to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
14        independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
15        exists. On and after January 1, 2017, placed in the

18        years of age or, pursuant to Article II of this Act, a
19        minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect,
20        or dependency exists. An independent basis exists when
21        the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
22        dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
23        or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
24        adjudication of delinquency;
25            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
26        30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition

 

 

HB4795- 325 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

2        order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
3        provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
4        detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10

12        5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
13        result of the offense for which the sentencing order
14        was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
15        order of detention entered under a violation of
16        probation or violation of conditional discharge under
17        Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
18        detention before the filing of the petition alleging
19        the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
20        for time spent in detention before the filing of a
21        violation of probation or conditional discharge
22        alleging the same or related act or acts. The
23        limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a
24        juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
25            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
26        petition of delinquency filed against them may be

 

 

HB4795- 326 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

2        determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
3        age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed
4        against the person, these factors, among other
5        matters, shall be considered:
6                (A) the age of the person;

13    authority of this State.
14        (2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer
15    designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of

HB4795- 344 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article:
2            (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information,
3        or complaint charging a violation of this Article for
4        which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and
5        alleging that the property with respect to which the
6        order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under
7        this Article; or
8            (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment,
9        information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
10        appearing to have an interest in the property and
11        opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
12                (i) there is probable cause to believe that the
13            State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
14            that failure to enter the order will result in the
15            property being destroyed, removed from the
16            jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
17            unavailable for forfeiture; and
18                (ii) the need to preserve the availability of
19            the property through the entry of the requested
20            order outweighs the hardship on any party against
21            whom the order is to be entered.
22            Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant
23        to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more
24        than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
25        cause shown or unless an indictment, information,
26        complaint, or administrative notice has been filed.

 

 

HB4795- 345 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

2    subsection may be entered upon application of the State
3    without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an
4    indictment, information, complaint, or administrative
5    notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property,
6    if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to
7    believe that the property with respect to which the order
8    is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section
9    and that provision of notice will jeopardize the
10    availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a
11    temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after
12    the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good
13    cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
14    consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing
15    requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph
16    shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to
17    the expiration of the temporary order.
18        (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing
19    held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and
20    information that would be inadmissible under the Illinois
21    rules of evidence.
22        (4) Order to repatriate and deposit.
23            (A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter
24        a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the

1        property pending trial with the Illinois State Police
2        or another law enforcement agency designated by the
3        Illinois State Police.
4            (B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an
5        order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a
6        civil or criminal contempt of court.
7    (g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance
8of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in
9subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search
10warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause
11to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to
12forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the
13seizure of such property.

4        relationship to the degree of direct participation of
5        the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in
6        the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of
7        the property forfeited and the total law enforcement
8        effort with respect to the violation of the law upon

18        3,000,000 population, 25% shall be distributed to the
19        Office of the State's Attorney for use in the

1    cause for forfeiture of the property. If the State shows
2    probable cause, the claimant has the burden of showing by a
3    preponderance of the evidence that the claimant's interest
4    in the property is not subject to forfeiture.
5        (8) If the State does not show existence of probable
6    cause, the court shall order the interest in the property
7    returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all
8    other property forfeited to the State. If the State does
9    show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all
10    property forfeited to the State.
11        (9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is
12    precluded from later denying the essential allegations of
13    the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted
14    in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the
15    pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However,
16    evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible.
17        (10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding
18    does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article;
19    however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's
20    Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings
21    during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment
22    or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such
23    a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property

26    jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of

 

 

HB4795- 361 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    such property unless such return or release is consented to
2    by the State's Attorney.
3        (11) All property declared forfeited under this
4    Article vests in this State on the commission of the
5    conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the
6    proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property
7    or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain
8    subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered
9    forfeited.
10        (12) A civil action under this Article must be
11    commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise
12    to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5

15    the property or claimant is out of the State or in
16    confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating
17    to the same conduct are in progress.

HB4795- 362 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    (o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this
2Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona
3fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered
4or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal
5proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was
6paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure
7warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and
8where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property
9did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under
10this Article.
11    (p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly
12that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally
13construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The
14forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be
15considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any
16sentence or other remedy provided by law.
17    (q) Judicial review. If property has been declared
18forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who
19has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within
2030 days after the effective date of the notice of the
21declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as
22described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section.
23If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the
24procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply.
25    (r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not
26necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in

 

 

HB4795- 363 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other
2pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under
3this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception
4is upon the person claiming it.
5    (s) Review of administrative decisions. All administrative
6findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and
7conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article
8are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any
9person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the
10decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative
11Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending
12final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders,
13and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full
14force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court
15pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such
16review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's
17Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order
18of court. However, no stay of any decision of the
19administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved
20by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
21that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause,
22the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a
23substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that
24granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the
25general public.

22        (1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police,
23    and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all
24    provisions of this Article, except those specifically

26    the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or of any

 

 

HB4795- 371 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    state, relating to money laundering. Only an agent,
2    officer, or investigator designated by the Director may be

4    notices, warrants, subpoenas, and summonses under the
5    authority of this State.
6        (2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer
7    designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of

14    (f) Protective orders.
15        (1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter
16    a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of
17    a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action
18    to preserve the availability of property described in
19    subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article:
20            (A) upon the filing of an indictment, information,
21        or complaint charging a violation of this Article for
22        which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and
23        alleging that the property with respect to which the
24        order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under
25        this Article; or
26            (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment,

 

 

HB4795- 372 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1        information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
2        appearing to have an interest in the property and
3        opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
4                (i) there is probable cause to believe that the
5            State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and
6            that failure to enter the order will result in the
7            property being destroyed, removed from the
8            jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made
9            unavailable for forfeiture; and
10                (ii) the need to preserve the availability of
11            the property through the entry of the requested
12            order outweighs the hardship on any party against
13            whom the order is to be entered.
14            Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant
15        to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more
16        than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
17        cause shown or unless an indictment, information,
18        complaint, or administrative notice has been filed.
19        (2) A temporary restraining order under this

21    without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an
22    indictment, information, complaint, or administrative

24    if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to
25    believe that the property with respect to which the order
26    is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section

 

 

HB4795- 373 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    and that provision of notice will jeopardize the
2    availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a
3    temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after
4    the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good
5    cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
6    consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing
7    requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph
8    shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to
9    the expiration of the temporary order.
10        (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing

19        property pending trial with the Illinois State Police
20        or another law enforcement agency designated by the
21        Illinois State Police.
22            (B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an
23        order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a
24        civil or criminal contempt of court.
25    (g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance
26of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in

 

 

HB4795- 374 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search
2warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause
3to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to
4forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the
5seizure of such property.
6    (h) Forfeiture.
7        (1) The following are subject to forfeiture:
8            (A) any property, real or personal, constituting,

1            party or privy to a violation of this Article;
2                (ii) no conveyance is subject to forfeiture

19            (F) provide for another agency or custodian,
20        including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to
21        take custody of the property upon the terms and
22        conditions set by the Director.
23        (5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the
24    Director shall sell all such property unless such property
25    is required by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the
26    public, and shall distribute the proceeds of the sale,

10        forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable
11        relationship to the degree of direct participation of
12        the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in
13        the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of
14        the property forfeited and the total law enforcement
15        effort with respect to the violation of the law upon
16        which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to

22    brought a legal action seeking forfeiture of your seized
23    property. This complaint starts the court process where the

25    and not returned to you. This process is also your

7    of your property, your case may be set for trial after the
8    criminal case has been resolved. Before trial, the judge
9    may allow discovery, where the State can ask you to respond
10    in writing to questions and give them certain documents,
11    and you can make similar requests of the State. The trial

HB4795- 391 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    in the action in rem. For purposes of this Section, the
2    owner or interest holder shall be referred to as claimant.

5    case in chief, the State shall show by a preponderance of
6    the evidence that the property is subject to forfeiture. If
7    the State makes such a showing, the claimant shall have the
8    burden of production to set forth evidence that the
9    property is not related to the alleged factual basis of the
10    forfeiture. After this production of evidence, the State
11    shall maintain the burden of proof to overcome this
12    assertion. A claimant shall provide the State notice of its
13    intent to allege that the currency or its equivalent is not
14    related to the alleged factual basis of the forfeiture and

HB4795- 393 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1        forfeiture was likely to occur;
2            (iv) that the claimant held the property for the
3        benefit of, or as nominee for, any person whose conduct
4        gave rise to its forfeiture;
5            (v) that if the claimant acquired their interest
6        through any person engaging in any of the conduct
7        described above or conduct giving rise to the
8        forfeiture;
9                (1) the claimant did not acquire it as a bona
10            fide purchaser for value; or
11                (2) the claimant acquired the interest under
12            the circumstances that they reasonably should have
13            known the property was derived from, or used in,
14            the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture; or
15            (vii) that the claimant is not the true owner of
16        the property that is subject to forfeiture.
17        (8) If the State does not meet its burden to show that
18    the property is subject to forfeiture, the court shall
19    order the interest in the property returned or conveyed to
20    the claimant and shall order all other property forfeited
21    to the State. If the State does meet its burden to show
22    that the property is subject to forfeiture, the court shall
23    order all property forfeited to the State.

2    pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However,
3    evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible.
4        (10) On a motion by the the parties, the court may stay
5    civil forfeiture proceedings during the criminal trial for
6    a related criminal indictment or information alleging a
7    money laundering violation. Such a stay shall not be
8    available pending an appeal. Property subject to
9    forfeiture under this Article shall not be subject to
10    return or release by a court exercising jurisdiction over a
11    criminal case involving the seizure of such property unless
12    such return or release is consented to by the State's
13    Attorney.
14        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
15    the State's burden of proof at the trial of the forfeiture
16    action shall be by clear and convincing evidence if: (1) a
17    finding of not guilty is entered as to all counts and all
18    defendants in a criminal proceeding relating to the conduct
19    giving rise to the forfeiture action; or (2) the State
20    receives an adverse finding at a preliminary hearing and
21    fails to secure an indictment in a criminal proceeding
22    relating to the factual allegations of the forfeiture
23    action.

25    Article vests in this State on the commission of the
26    conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the

 

 

HB4795- 395 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    proceeds of the property after that time. Except as
2    otherwise provided in this Article, title to any such
3    property or proceeds subsequently transferred to any
4    person remain subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be
5    ordered forfeited unless the person to whom the property
6    was transferred makes an appropriate claim and has his or
7    her claim adjudicated at the judicial in rem hearing.
8        (12) A civil action under this Article must be
9    commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise
10    to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5
11    years after the forfeitable property is discovered,
12    whichever is later, excluding any time during which either
13    the property or claimant is out of the State or in
14    confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating
15    to the same conduct are in progress.
16    (m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for
17evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting
18judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not
19begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence.

21of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized
22property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning
23the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as
24are set out in writing in a settlement agreement. All proceeds
25from a settlement agreement shall be tendered to the Department

1    (s) Review of administrative decisions. All administrative
2findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and
3conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article
4are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any
5person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the
6decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative
7Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending
8final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders,
9and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full
10force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court
11pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such
12review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's
13Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order
14of court. However, no stay of any decision of the
15administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved
16by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence
17that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause,
18the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a
19substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that
20granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the
21general public.
22    (t) Actual physical seizure of real property subject to
23forfeiture under this Act requires the issuance of a seizure
24warrant. Nothing in this Section prohibits the constructive
25seizure of real property through the filing of a complaint for

9as interpreted by case law.
10    (v) If property is ordered forfeited under this Section
11from a claimant who held title to the property in joint tenancy
12or tenancy in common with another claimant, the court shall

14according to principles of property law.
15    (w) A claimant or a party interested in personal property
16contained within a seized conveyance may file a request with
17the State's Attorney in a non-judicial forfeiture action, or a
18motion with the court in a judicial forfeiture action for the
19return of any personal property contained within a conveyance
20which is seized under this Article. The return of personal
21property shall not be unreasonably withheld if the personal
22property is not mechanically or electrically coupled to the
23conveyance, needed for evidentiary purposes, or otherwise
24contraband. Any law enforcement agency that returns property
25under a court order under this Section shall not be liable to
26any person who claims ownership to the property if it is

11            (ii) that the claimant was not legally accountable
12        for the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture or
13        acquiesced in the conduct;
14            (iii) that the claimant did not solicit, conspire,
15        or attempt to commit the conduct giving rise to the
16        forfeiture;
17            (iv) that the claimant did not know or did not have
18        reason to know that the conduct giving rise to the
19        forfeiture was likely to occur; and
20            (v) that the claimant did not hold the property for
21        the benefit of, or as nominee for any person whose
22        conduct gave rise to its forfeiture or if the owner or
23        interest holder acquired the interest through any
24        person, the owner or interest holder did not acquire it
25        as a bona fide purchaser for value or acquired the
26        interest without knowledge of the seizure of the

 

 

HB4795- 400 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

13        allowed for sufficient time to review and investigate
14        the discovery responses, the court shall conduct a
15        hearing. At the hearing, the fact that the conveyance
16        is subject to forfeiture shall not be at issue. The
17        court shall only hear evidence relating to the issue of
18        innocent ownership.
19            (ii) At the hearing on the motion, it shall be the
20        burden of the claimant to prove each of the assertions
21        listed in paragraph (1) of this subsection (x) by a
22        preponderance of the evidence.
23            (iii) If a claimant meets his burden of proof, the
24        court shall grant the motion and order the property
25        returned to the claimant. If the claimant fails to meet
26        his or her burden of proof then the court shall deny

 

 

HB4795- 401 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1        the motion.
2    (y) No property shall be forfeited under this Section from
3a person who, without actual or constructive notice that the
4property was the subject of forfeiture proceedings, obtained
5possession of the property as a bona fide purchaser for value.
6A person who purports to affect transfer of property after
7receiving actual or constructive notice that the property is
8subject to seizure or forfeiture is guilty of contempt of
9court, and shall be liable to the State for a penalty in the
10amount of the fair market value of the property.

12subject to the Code of Civil Procedure and the rules of
13evidence relating to civil actions.

16    property seized for forfeiture shall deliver property
17    ordered by the court to be returned or conveyed to the
18    claimant within a reasonable time not to exceed 7 days,
19    unless the order is stayed by the trial court or a
20    reviewing court pending an appeal, motion to reconsider, or
21    other reason.
22        (2) The law enforcement agency that holds custody of
23    property is responsible for any damages, storage fees, and
24    related costs applicable to property returned. The
25    claimant shall not be subject to any charges by the State
26    for storage of the property or expenses incurred in the

 

 

HB4795- 402 -LRB100 16079 KTG 31198 b

1    preservation of the property. Charges for the towing of a
2    conveyance shall be borne by the claimant unless the
3    conveyance was towed for the sole reason of seizure for
4    forfeiture. This Section does not prohibit the imposition
5    of any fees or costs by a home rule unit of local
6    government related to the impoundment of a conveyance under
7    an ordinance enacted by the unit of government.
8        (3) A law enforcement agency shall not retain forfeited
9    property for its own use or transfer the property to any
10    person or entity, except as provided under this Section. A
11    law enforcement agency may apply in writing to the Director
12    of State Police to request that a forfeited property be
13    awarded to the agency for a specifically articulated
14    official law enforcement use in an investigation. The
15    Director of State Police shall provide a written
16    justification in each instance detailing the reasons why
17    the forfeited property was placed into official use and the
18    justification shall be retained for a period of not less
19    than 3 years.
20    (bb) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory
21Act of the 100th General Assembly are subject to Sections 2 and
