19    treated  as an adult for the purpose of affording such rights
20    to the victim.
21        (E)  Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of  a
22    Civil  Service  Commission  or  appointing  authority  of any
23    state, county or municipality  examining  the  character  and
24    fitness of an applicant for employment with a law enforcement

27    delinquent  minor  and,  if  so,  to  examine  the records of
28    disposition or evidence which were made in proceedings  under
29    this Act.
30        (F)  Following  any  adjudication  of  delinquency  for a
31    crime which would be a felony if committed by  an  adult,  or

33    Section 24-1, 24-3, 24-3.1, or 24-5 of the Criminal  Code  of

12    identification and treatment of habitual juvenile offenders.
13        (H)  When a Court hearing a proceeding under  Article  II
14    of  this  Act  becomes aware that an earlier proceeding under

 1    court records.
 2        (1)  Expungement  of  law  enforcement and juvenile court
 3    delinquency records shall be governed by Section 5-915.
 4        (2)  This subsection (2) applies to  expungement  of  law
 5    enforcement and juvenile court records other than delinquency
 6    proceedings.  Whenever  any person has attained the age of 18
 7    17 or whenever all juvenile  court  proceedings  relating  to
 8    that  person  have  been  terminated, whichever is later, the
 9    person may petition the  court  to  expunge  law  enforcement
10    records  relating to incidents occurring before his 18th 17th
11    birthday or his juvenile  court  records,  or  both,  if  the
12    minor was placed under supervision pursuant to Sections 2-20,
13    3-21,  or  4-18, and such order of supervision has since been
14    successfully terminated.
15        (3)  The chief judge of the circuit in  which  an  arrest
16    was made or a charge was brought or any judge of that circuit

23    Notice  of  the  petition  shall  be  served upon the State's

28        Sec. 2-10.  Temporary custody hearing.  At the appearance
29    of  the  minor  before  the  court  at  the temporary custody
30    hearing, all witnesses present shall be examined  before  the
31    court   in   relation   to  any  matter  connected  with  the
32    allegations made in the petition.
33        (1)  If the court finds that there is not probable  cause
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -13-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    to  believe  that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent
 2    it shall release the minor and dismiss the petition.
 3        (2)  If the court finds that there is probable  cause  to
 4    believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the
 5    court shall state in writing the factual basis supporting its
 6    finding and the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
 7    and  other  persons  able to give relevant testimony shall be
 8    examined before the court.  The Department  of  Children  and
 9    Family  Services  shall  give  testimony concerning indicated
10    reports of abuse and neglect, of  which  they  are  aware  of
11    through  the  central registry, involving the minor's parent,
12    guardian or custodian.  After such testimony, the court  may,
13    consistent  with the health, safety and best interests of the
14    minor, enter an order that the minor shall be  released  upon
15    the  request  of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
16    guardian or custodian  appears  to  take  custody.  Custodian
17    shall  include  any  agency of the State which has been given
18    custody or wardship of the child. If it  is  consistent  with
19    the health, safety and best interests of the minor, the court
20    may  also  prescribe shelter care and order that the minor be
21    kept in a suitable place designated by  the  court  or  in  a
22    shelter   care  facility  designated  by  the  Department  of
23    Children and Family Services  or  a  licensed  child  welfare
24    agency;  however,  a  minor  charged  with a criminal offense
25    under the Criminal Code of  1961  or  adjudicated  delinquent
26    shall  not  be  placed  in the custody of or committed to the
27    Department of Children and  Family  Services  by  any  court,
28    except a minor less than 13 years of age and committed to the
29    Department  of  Children  and  Family  Services under Section
30    5-710 of this Act or a minor for whom an independent basis of
31    abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, which must  be  defined
32    by departmental rule. In placing the minor, the Department or
33    other agency shall, to the extent compatible with the court's
34    order,  comply  with  Section  7  of  the Children and Family
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -14-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    Services Act. In determining  the  health,  safety  and  best
 2    interests  of  the minor to prescribe shelter care, the court
 3    must find that  it  is  a  matter  of  immediate  and  urgent
 4    necessity  for  the  safety and protection of the minor or of
 5    the person or property of another that the minor be placed in
 6    a shelter care facility or that he or she is likely  to  flee
 7    the  jurisdiction  of  the  court, and must further find that
 8    reasonable efforts have been made or  that,  consistent  with
 9    the  health,  safety  and  best  interests  of  the minor, no
10    efforts reasonably can be made to prevent  or  eliminate  the
11    necessity  of  removal of the minor from his or her home. The
12    court shall require  documentation  from  the  Department  of
13    Children  and  Family  Services  as to the reasonable efforts
14    that were made to  prevent  or  eliminate  the  necessity  of
15    removal  of the minor from his or her home or the reasons why
16    no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent  or  eliminate
17    the  necessity of removal. When a minor is placed in the home
18    of a relative, the Department of Children and Family Services
19    shall complete a preliminary background review of the members
20    of the  minor's  custodian's  household  in  accordance  with
21    Section  4.3  of the Child Care Act of 1969 within 90 days of
22    that placement.  If the minor is ordered placed in a  shelter
23    care  facility  of  the  Department  of  Children  and Family
24    Services or a licensed child welfare agency, the court shall,
25    upon request of the appropriate Department or  other  agency,
26    appoint  the  Department  of  Children  and  Family  Services
27    Guardianship   Administrator   or  other  appropriate  agency
28    executive temporary custodian of the minor and the court  may
29    enter  such  other orders related to the temporary custody as
30    it deems fit and proper, including the provision of  services
31    to   the  minor  or  his  family  to  ameliorate  the  causes
32    contributing to the finding  of  probable  cause  or  to  the
33    finding  of  the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
34    Acceptance of services shall not be considered  an  admission
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -15-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    of  any  allegation  in a petition made pursuant to this Act,
 2    nor may a referral of services be considered as  evidence  in
 3    any  proceeding  pursuant to this Act, except where the issue
 4    is whether the Department  has  made  reasonable  efforts  to
 5    reunite  the  family.  In  making  its  findings  that  it is
 6    consistent with the health, safety and best interests of  the
 7    minor  to  prescribe  shelter  care, the court shall state in
 8    writing  (i)  the  factual  basis  supporting  its   findings
 9    concerning   the  immediate  and  urgent  necessity  for  the
10    protection of the minor or  of  the  person  or  property  of
11    another  and  (ii)  the factual basis supporting its findings
12    that reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the
13    removal of the minor from his or her home or that no  efforts
14    reasonably  could be made to prevent or eliminate the removal
15    of the minor from his or her home.   The  parents,  guardian,
16    custodian,  temporary  custodian  and  minor  shall  each  be
17    furnished  a  copy  of  such written findings.  The temporary
18    custodian shall maintain  a  copy  of  the  court  order  and
19    written  findings in the case record for the child. The order
20    together with the court's findings of fact in support thereof
21    shall be entered of record in the court.
22        Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
23    urgent necessity for the protection of  the  minor  that  the
24    minor  be  placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall
25    not be returned to the parent, custodian  or  guardian  until
26    the  court  finds  that such placement is no longer necessary
27    for the protection of the minor.
28        If the child is placed in the temporary  custody  of  the
29    Department  of  Children  and  Family Services for his or her
30    protection, the court shall admonish the  parents,  guardian,
31    custodian  or  responsible  relative  that  the  parents must
32    cooperate  with  the  Department  of  Children   and   Family
33    Services,  comply  with  the  terms of the service plans, and
34    correct the conditions which require the child to be in care,
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -16-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    or risk termination of their parental rights.
 2        (3)  If prior to the shelter care  hearing  for  a  minor
 3    described  in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the moving party
 4    is unable to  serve  notice  on  the  party  respondent,  the
 5    shelter  care  hearing  may proceed ex-parte.  A shelter care
 6    order from an ex-parte hearing shall  be  endorsed  with  the
 7    date and hour of issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's
 8    office and entered of record. The order shall expire after 10
 9    days  from the time it is issued unless before its expiration
10    it is renewed, at a hearing  upon  appearance  of  the  party
11    respondent,  or  upon  an affidavit of the moving party as to
12    all diligent efforts to notify the party respondent by notice
13    as herein prescribed.  The  notice  prescribed  shall  be  in
14    writing and shall be personally delivered to the minor or the
15    minor's  attorney  and to the last known address of the other
16    person or persons entitled to notice.  The notice shall  also
17    state  the nature of the allegations, the nature of the order
18    sought by the State, including whether temporary  custody  is
19    sought,  and  the consequences of failure to appear and shall
20    contain a notice that the parties will  not  be  entitled  to
21    further written notices or publication notices of proceedings
22    in  this case, including the filing of an amended petition or
23    a motion to terminate parental rights, except as required  by
24    Supreme  Court  Rule  11;  and shall explain the right of the
25    parties and the procedures to vacate or modify a shelter care
26    order as provided in this Section.  The notice for a  shelter
27    care hearing shall be substantially as follows:

 5    legal holidays, after the filing of  the  affidavit.  At  the
 6    rehearing, the court shall proceed in the same manner as upon
 7    the original hearing.
 8        (5)  Only  when there is reasonable cause to believe that
 9    the minor  taken  into  custody  is  a  person  described  in
10    subsection  (3)  of  Section  5-105  may the minor be kept or
11    detained in a detention home or  county  or  municipal  jail.
12    This Section shall in no way be construed to limit subsection
13    (6).
14        (6)  No  minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a
15    jail  or  place  ordinarily  used  for  the  confinement   of
16    prisoners  in  a police station.  Minors under 18 17 years of
17    age must be kept separate from confined adults and may not at
18    any time be kept in the same cell, room, or yard with  adults
19    confined pursuant to the criminal law.
20        (7)  If  the  minor  is  not  brought  before  a judicial
21    officer within the time period as specified in  Section  2-9,
22    the minor must immediately be released from custody.
23        (8)  If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears
24    within  24  hours  to  take  custody of a minor released upon
25    request pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section, then  the
26    clerk  of  the  court  shall set the matter for rehearing not
27    later than 7 days after the original order and shall issue  a
28    summons  directed  to  the  parent,  guardian or custodian to
29    appear.  At the same  time  the  probation  department  shall
30    prepare  a  report  on  the  minor.  If a parent, guardian or
31    custodian does not appear at such rehearing,  the  judge  may
32    enter  an  order  prescribing  that  the  minor  be kept in a
33    suitable place designated by the Department of  Children  and
34    Family Services or a licensed child welfare agency.
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -20-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1        (9)  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Section
 2    any interested party,  including  the  State,  the  temporary
 3    custodian,  an  agency  providing  services  to  the minor or
 4    family under a service plan pursuant to Section  8.2  of  the
 5    Abused  and  Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or
 6    any of  their  representatives,  on  notice  to  all  parties
 7    entitled  to notice, may file a motion that it is in the best
 8    interests of the  minor  to  modify  or  vacate  a  temporary
 9    custody order on any of the following grounds:
10             (a)  It  is  no  longer  a  matter  of immediate and
11        urgent necessity that the minor remain in  shelter  care;
12        or
13             (b)  There is a material change in the circumstances
14        of  the  natural  family from which the minor was removed
15        and  the  child  can  be  cared  for  at   home   without
16        endangering the child's health or safety; or
17             (c)  A  person  not  a  party  to the alleged abuse,
18        neglect or dependency, including a  parent,  relative  or
19        legal  guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody
20        of the minor; or
21             (d)  Services provided by the Department of Children
22        and Family Services or a child welfare  agency  or  other
23        service  provider have been successful in eliminating the
24        need for temporary custody and the child can be cared for
25        at home without endangering the child's health or safety.
26        In ruling  on  the  motion,  the  court  shall  determine
27    whether  it  is  consistent  with the health, safety and best
28    interests of the  minor  to  modify  or  vacate  a  temporary
29    custody order.
30        The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
31    14  days  after  such motion is filed.  In the event that the
32    court modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but  does
33    not vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order
34    that appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -21-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    of the minor and his or her family.
 2        (10)  When  the  court  finds  or has found that there is
 3    probable cause to believe a  minor  is  an  abused  minor  as
 4    described  in subsection (2) of Section 2-3 and that there is
 5    an immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to  be
 6    placed  in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall
 7    be  presumed  for  any  other  minor  residing  in  the  same
 8    household as the abused minor provided:
 9             (a)  Such other minor is the subject of an abuse  or
10        neglect petition pending before the court; and
11             (b)  A party to the petition is seeking shelter care
12        for such other minor.
13        Once  the  presumption  of immediate and urgent necessity
14    has been raised, the burden  of  demonstrating  the  lack  of
15    immediate  and urgent necessity shall be on any party that is
16    opposing shelter care for the other minor.

21        Sec.  3-12.  Shelter  care  hearing. At the appearance of
22    the minor before the court at the shelter care  hearing,  all
23    witnesses  present  shall  be  examined  before  the court in
24    relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
25    the petition.
26        (1)  If the court finds that there is not probable  cause
27    to believe that the minor is a person requiring authoritative
28    intervention,  it  shall  release  the  minor and dismiss the
29    petition.
30        (2)  If the court finds that there is probable  cause  to
31    believe  that  the  minor is a person requiring authoritative
32    intervention,  the  minor,  his  or  her  parent,   guardian,
33    custodian  and  other persons able to give relevant testimony
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -22-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    shall be examined before the court. After such testimony, the
 2    court may enter an order that the  minor  shall  be  released
 3    upon  the  request  of a parent, guardian or custodian if the
 4    parent, guardian  or  custodian  appears   to  take  custody.
 5    Custodian  shall  include  any  agency of the State which has
 6    been given custody or wardship of the child. The Court  shall
 7    require documentation by representatives of the Department of
 8    Children  and  Family Services or the probation department as
 9    to the reasonable  efforts  that  were  made  to  prevent  or
10    eliminate  the  necessity of removal of the minor from his or
11    her home, and shall consider the testimony of any  person  as
12    to  those reasonable efforts. If the court finds that it is a
13    matter of immediate and urgent necessity for  the  protection
14    of the minor or of the person or property of another that the
15    minor be placed in a shelter care facility, or that he or she
16    is  likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and further
17    finds that reasonable efforts have been made  or  good  cause
18    has  been  shown  why  reasonable  efforts  cannot prevent or
19    eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from  his  or
20    her home, the court may prescribe shelter care and order that
21    the minor be kept in a suitable place designated by the court
22    or in a shelter care facility designated by the Department of
23    Children  and  Family  Services  or  a licensed child welfare
24    agency; otherwise it shall release the minor from custody. If
25    the court prescribes shelter care, then in placing the minor,
26    the  Department  or  other  agency  shall,  to   the   extent
27    compatible  with  the court's order, comply with Section 7 of
28    the Children and Family Services Act. If the minor is ordered
29    placed in a  shelter  care  facility  of  the  Department  of
30    Children  and  Family  Services  or  a licensed child welfare
31    agency, the court shall, upon request of  the  Department  or
32    other  agency,  appoint the Department of Children and Family
33    Services  Guardianship  Administrator  or  other  appropriate
34    agency executive temporary custodian of  the  minor  and  the
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -23-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    court  may  enter  such other orders related to the temporary
 2    custody as it deems fit and proper, including  the  provision
 3    of  services  to  the  minor  or his family to ameliorate the
 4    causes contributing to the finding of probable  cause  or  to
 5    the   finding  of  the  existence  of  immediate  and  urgent
 6    necessity. Acceptance of services shall not be considered  an
 7    admission  of  any  allegation in a petition made pursuant to
 8    this Act, nor may a referral of  services  be  considered  as
 9    evidence in any proceeding pursuant to this Act, except where
10    the  issue  is  whether  the  Department  has made reasonable
11    efforts to reunite the family. In making  its  findings  that
12    reasonable efforts have been made or that good cause has been
13    shown  why reasonable efforts cannot prevent or eliminate the
14    necessity of removal of the minor from his or her  home,  the
15    court  shall  state  in  writing  its findings concerning the
16    nature of the services that were offered or the efforts  that
17    were  made  to  prevent removal of the child and the apparent
18    reasons that such services or efforts could not  prevent  the
19    need   for   removal.    The  parents,  guardian,  custodian,
20    temporary custodian and minor shall each be furnished a  copy
21    of  such  written  findings.   The  temporary custodian shall
22    maintain a copy of the court order and  written  findings  in
23    the case record for the child.
24        The  order together with the court's findings of fact and
25    support thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
26        Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
27    urgent necessity for the protection of  the  minor  that  the
28    minor  be  placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall
29    not be returned to the parent, custodian  or  guardian  until
30    the  court  finds  that such placement is no longer necessary
31    for the protection of the minor.
32        (3)  If prior to the shelter care  hearing  for  a  minor
33    described in Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the petitioner is
34    unable  to  serve notice on the party respondent, the shelter
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -24-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    care hearing may proceed ex-parte.  A shelter care order from
 2    an ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and  hour
 3    of  issuance  and  shall be filed with the clerk's office and
 4    entered of record. The order shall expire after 10 days  from
 5    the  time  it  is  issued  unless before its expiration it is
 6    renewed,  at  a  hearing  upon  appearance   of   the   party
 7    respondent,  or  upon  an affidavit of the moving party as to
 8    all diligent efforts to notify the party respondent by notice
 9    as herein prescribed.  The  notice  prescribed  shall  be  in
10    writing and shall be personally delivered to the minor or the
11    minor's  attorney  and to the last known address of the other
12    person or persons entitled to notice.  The notice shall  also
13    state  the nature of the allegations, the nature of the order
14    sought by the State, including whether temporary  custody  is
15    sought,  and the consequences of failure to appear; and shall
16    explain the right of the parties and the procedures to vacate
17    or modify a shelter care order as provided in  this  Section.
18    The  notice for a shelter care hearing shall be substantially
19    as follows:

19    responsible relative, or counsel of the minor  did  not  have
20    actual  notice  of  or  was  not  present at the shelter care
21    hearing, he or she may file an affidavit setting forth  these
22    facts,  and  the clerk shall set the matter for rehearing not
23    later than 48 hours, excluding Sundays  and  legal  holidays,
24    after  the  filing  of  the  affidavit. At the rehearing, the
25    court shall proceed in the same manner as upon  the  original

30    detained in a detention home or  county  or  municipal  jail.
31    This Section shall in no way be construed to limit subsection
32    (6).
33        (6)  No  minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a
34    jail  or  place  ordinarily  used  for  the  confinement   of
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -27-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b

 5        (7)  If  the  minor  is  not  brought  before  a judicial
 6    officer within the time period specified in Section 3-11, the
 7    minor must immediately be released from custody.
 8        (8)  If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears
 9    within 24 hours to take custody  of  a  minor  released  upon

12    later  than 7 days after the original order and shall issue a
13    summons directed to the  parent,  guardian  or  custodian  to

18    suitable  place  designated by the Department of Children and
19    Family Services or a licensed child welfare agency.
20        (9)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
21    any interested party,  including  the  State,  the  temporary
22    custodian,  an  agency  providing  services  to  the minor or
23    family under a service plan pursuant to Section  8.2  of  the
24    Abused  and  Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or

26    entitled  to  notice, may file a motion to modify or vacate a
27    temporary custody order on any of the following grounds:
28             (a)  It is no  longer  a  matter  of  immediate  and

31             (b)  There is a material change in the circumstances
32        of the natural family from which the minor  was  removed;
33        or

 1        guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
 2        minor; or
 3             (d)  Services provided by the Department of Children
 4        and  Family  Services  or a child welfare agency or other
 5        service provider have been successful in eliminating  the
 6        need for temporary custody.
 7        The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
 8    14  days  after  such motion is filed.  In the event that the
 9    court modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but  does

11    that appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf
12    of the minor and his or her family.

15        Sec.  4-9.  Shelter  care  hearing.  At the appearance of
16    the minor before the court at the shelter care  hearing,  all
17    witnesses  present  shall  be  examined  before  the court in
18    relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
19    the petition.
20        (1)  If the court finds that there is not probable  cause
21    to  believe  that the minor is addicted, it shall release the
22    minor and dismiss the petition.
23        (2)  If the court finds that there is probable  cause  to
24    believe  that  the  minor  is addicted, the minor, his or her
25    parent, guardian, custodian and other persons  able  to  give
26    relevant testimony shall be examined before the court.  After
27    such  testimony,  the court may enter an order that the minor
28    shall be released upon the request of a parent,  guardian  or
29    custodian  if  the  parent,  guardian or custodian appears to
30    take custody and agrees to  abide  by  a  court  order  which
31    requires  the minor and his or her parent, guardian, or legal
32    custodian to complete an evaluation by an entity licensed  by
33    the  Department  of  Human  Services, as the successor to the
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -29-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    Department of Alcoholism and Substance  Abuse,  and  complete
 2    any  treatment  recommendations  indicated by the assessment.
 3    Custodian shall include any agency of  the  State  which  has
 4    been given custody or wardship of the child.
 5        The  Court shall require documentation by representatives
 6    of the Department of Children  and  Family  Services  or  the
 7    probation  department  as to the reasonable efforts that were
 8    made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of  the
 9    minor  from his or her home, and shall consider the testimony
10    of any person as to those reasonable efforts.  If  the  court
11    finds  that  it is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity
12    for the protection of the minor or of the person or  property
13    of  another  that  the  minor  be or placed in a shelter care
14    facility or that he or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction
15    of the court, and further, finds that reasonable efforts have
16    been made or good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts
17    cannot prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal  of  the
18    minor  from  his or her home, the court may prescribe shelter
19    care and order that the minor be kept  in  a  suitable  place
20    designated  by  the  court  or  in  a  shelter  care facility
21    designated by the Department of Children and Family  Services
22    or  a  licensed  child  welfare  agency,  or in a facility or
23    program licensed by the  Department  of  Human  Services  for
24    shelter  and  treatment  services; otherwise it shall release
25    the minor from custody.   If  the  court  prescribes  shelter
26    care,  then  in  placing  the  minor, the Department or other
27    agency shall, to  the  extent  compatible  with  the  court's
28    order,  comply  with  Section  7  of  the Children and Family
29    Services Act.  If the minor is ordered placed  in  a  shelter
30    care  facility  of  the  Department  of  Children  and Family
31    Services or a licensed child welfare agency, or in a facility
32    or program licensed by the Department of Human  Services  for
33    shelter and treatment services, the court shall, upon request
34    of  the  appropriate  Department or other agency, appoint the
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -30-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    Department  of  Children  and  Family  Services  Guardianship
 2    Administrator or other appropriate agency executive temporary
 3    custodian of the minor and the court  may  enter  such  other
 4    orders  related  to the temporary custody as it deems fit and
 5    proper, including the provision of services to the  minor  or
 6    his  family  to  ameliorate  the  causes  contributing to the
 7    finding of probable cause or to the finding of the  existence
 8    of  immediate  and  urgent necessity.  Acceptance of services
 9    shall not be considered an admission of any allegation  in  a
10    petition  made  pursuant  to  this Act, nor may a referral of
11    services be considered as evidence in any proceeding pursuant
12    to this Act, except where the issue is whether the Department
13    has made reasonable efforts to reunite the family.  In making
14    its findings that reasonable efforts have been made  or  that
15    good  cause  has  been  shown  why  reasonable efforts cannot
16    prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal  of  the  minor
17    from  his  or  her home, the court shall state in writing its
18    findings concerning the nature  of  the  services  that  were
19    offered  or  the efforts that were made to prevent removal of
20    the child and the apparent  reasons  that  such  services  or
21    efforts could not prevent the need for removal.  The parents,
22    guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor shall each
23    be  furnished a copy of such written findings.  The temporary
24    custodian shall maintain  a  copy  of  the  court  order  and
25    written  findings in the case record for the child. The order
26    together with the court's findings of fact in support thereof
27    shall be entered of record in the court.
28        Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
29    urgent necessity for the protection of  the  minor  that  the
30    minor  be  placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall
31    not be returned to the parent, custodian  or  guardian  until
32    the  court  finds  that such placement is no longer necessary
33    for the protection of the minor.
34        (3)  If neither the parent,  guardian,  legal  custodian,
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -31-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    responsible  relative nor counsel of the minor has had actual
 2    notice of or is present at the shelter care  hearing,  he  or
 3    she  may file his or her affidavit setting forth these facts,
 4    and the clerk shall set the matter for  rehearing  not  later
 5    than  24  hours,  excluding Sundays and legal holidays, after
 6    the filing of the affidavit.  At  the  rehearing,  the  court
 7    shall proceed  in  the  same  manner  as  upon  the  original
 8    hearing.
 9        (4)  If  the  minor  is  not  brought  before  a judicial
10    officer within the time period as specified in  Section  4-8,
11    the minor must immediately be released from custody.
12        (5)  Only  when there is reasonable cause to believe that
13    the minor  taken  into  custody  is  a  person  described  in
14    subsection  (3)  of  Section  5-105  may the minor be kept or
15    detained in a detention home or  county  or  municipal  jail.
16    This Section shall in no way be construed to limit subsection
17    (6).
18        (6)  No  minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a
19    jail  or  place  ordinarily  used  for  the  confinement   of
20    prisoners  in  a police station.  Minors under 18 17 years of
21    age must be kept separate from confined adults and may not at
22    any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard  with  adults
23    confined pursuant to the criminal law.
24        (7)  If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears
25    within  24  hours  to  take  custody of a minor released upon
26    request pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section, then  the
27    clerk  of  the  court  shall set the matter for rehearing not
28    later than 7 days after the original order and shall issue  a
29    summons  directed  to  the  parent,  guardian or custodian to
30    appear.  At the same  time  the  probation  department  shall
31    prepare  a  report  on  the  minor.  If a parent, guardian or
32    custodian does not appear at such rehearing,  the  judge  may
33    enter  an  order  prescribing  that  the  minor  be kept in a
34    suitable place designated by the Department of  Children  and
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -32-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    Family Services or a licensed child welfare agency.
 2        (8)  Any  interested  party,  including  the  State,  the
 3    temporary  custodian,  an  agency  providing  services to the
 4    minor or family under a service plan pursuant to Section  8.2
 5    of  the  Abused  and  Neglected  Child  Reporting Act, foster
 6    parent, or any of their representatives, may file a motion to
 7    modify or vacate a temporary custody  order  on  any  of  the
 8    following grounds:
 9             (a)  It  is  no  longer  a  matter  of immediate and
10        urgent necessity that the minor remain in  shelter  care;
11        or
12             (b)  There is a material change in the circumstances
13        of  the  natural family from which the minor was removed;
14        or
15             (c)  A person, including a parent, relative or legal
16        guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
17        minor; or
18             (d)  Services provided by the Department of Children
19        and Family Services or a child welfare  agency  or  other
20        service  provider have been successful in eliminating the
21        need for temporary custody.
22        The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
23    14 days after such motion is filed.  In the  event  that  the
24    court  modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does
25    not vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order
26    that appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf
27    of the minor and his or her family.

30    shall deliver the minor to the nearest juvenile  officer,  in
31    the  manner  prescribed by subsection (2) of Section 5-405 of
32    this Act.  The  juvenile  officer  shall  deliver  the  minor
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -37-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    without  unnecessary  delay  to  the  court  or  to the place
 2    designated by rule or order of court  for  the  reception  of
 3    minors.   In  no  event  shall  the minor be eligible for any
 4    other   disposition   by   the   juvenile   police   officer,
 5    notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (3)  of  Section
 6    5-405 of this Act.
 7        (b)  Minors  not  excluded  from  this Act's jurisdiction
 8    under subsection (3)(a) of Section 5-130 of this Act shall be
 9    brought before a judicial officer within 40 hours,  exclusive
10    of  Saturdays,  Sundays, and court-designated holidays, for a
11    detention hearing to determine whether he  or  she  shall  be
12    further  held  in  custody.  If the court finds that there is
13    probable cause to believe that  the  minor  is  a  delinquent
14    minor  by  virtue  of  his  or  her  violation of item (4) of
15    subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code  of  1961

17    presumption that immediate and urgent necessity exists  under
18    subdivision  (2)  of  Section  5-501  of  this Act.  Once the
19    presumption  of  immediate  and  urgent  necessity  has  been
20    raised, the burden of demonstrating the lack of immediate and
21    urgent necessity shall be  on  any  party  that  is  opposing
22    detention  for  the  minor.  Should the court order detention
23    pursuant to  this  Section,  the  minor  shall  be  detained,
24    pending   the   results   of  a  court-ordered  psychological
25    evaluation to determine if the minor is a  risk  to  himself,
26    herself,  or  others.    Upon  receipt  of  the psychological
27    evaluation,  the  court  shall   review   the   determination
28    regarding  the  existence  of urgent and immediate necessity.
29    The court shall  consider  the  psychological  evaluation  in
30    conjunction  with the other factors identified in subdivision
31    (2) of Section 5-501 of this Act in order to make a  de  novo
32    determination  regarding  whether it is a matter of immediate
33    and urgent necessity for the protection of the  minor  or  of
34    the  person or property of another that the minor be detained
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -38-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    or placed in a shelter care facility.   In  addition  to  the
 2    pre-trial  conditions found in Section 5-505 of this Act, the
 3    court may order the minor to receive counseling and any other
 4    services recommended by the  psychological  evaluation  as  a
 5    condition for release of the minor.
 6        (c)  Upon   making   a  determination  that  the  student
 7    presents a risk to himself, herself,  or  others,  the  court
 8    shall  issue  an  order restraining the student from entering
 9    the property of the school if he or she has been suspended or
10    expelled from the school as a result of possessing a firearm.
11    The order shall restrain the student from entering the school
12    and school owned or leased property, including any conveyance
13    owned, leased, or  contracted  by  the  school  to  transport
14    students to or from school or a school-related activity.  The
15    order  shall  remain  in  effect until such time as the court
16    determines that the student no  longer  presents  a  risk  to
17    himself, herself, or others.
18        (d)  Psychological   evaluations   ordered   pursuant  to
19    subsection (b) of this Section and  statements  made  by  the
20    minor  during  the  course of these evaluations, shall not be
21    admissible on the issue of delinquency during the  course  of
22    any adjudicatory hearing held under this Act.
23        (e)  In this Section:
24        "School"  means  any  public  or  private  elementary  or

 2    this  Act who requires care away from his or her home but who
 3    does  not  require  physical  restriction  shall   be   given
 4    temporary  care  in  a  foster  family  home or other shelter
 5    facility designated by the court.
 6        (2) (a)  Any minor 10 years  of  age  or  older  arrested
 7    pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe
 8    that  the  minor  is  a delinquent minor and that (i) secured
 9    custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
10    protection of the minor or  of  the  person  or  property  of
11    another, (ii) the minor is likely to flee the jurisdiction of
12    the  court, or (iii) the minor was taken into custody under a
13    warrant, may be kept or detained in an  authorized  detention
14    facility.   No  minor under 12 years of age shall be detained
15    in a county jail or a municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
16        (b)  The written authorization of the  probation  officer
17    or  detention  officer (or other public officer designated by
18    the court in a county having 3,000,000 or  more  inhabitants)
19    constitutes  authority for the superintendent of any juvenile
20    detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
21    excluding Saturdays, Sundays and  court-designated  holidays.
22    These  records  shall  be  available  to the same persons and
23    pursuant to  the  same  conditions  as  are  law  enforcement
24    records as provided in Section 5-905.
25        (b-4)  The  consultation  required  by  subsection  (b-5)
26    shall not be applicable if the probation officer or detention
27    officer (or other public officer designated by the court in a
28    county  having  3,000,000  or  more  inhabitants)  utilizes a
29    scorable  detention  screening  instrument,  which  has  been
30    developed with input by the State's  Attorney,  to  determine
31    whether a minor should be detained, however, subsection (b-5)
32    shall  still be applicable where no such screening instrument
33    is used or where the probation officer, detention officer (or
34    other public officer designated by  the  court  in  a  county
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -40-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    having  3,000,000  or  more  inhabitants)  deviates  from the
 2    screening instrument.
 3        (b-5)  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b-4),  if
 4    a  probation  officer  or  detention officer (or other public
 5    officer designated by the court in a county having  3,000,000
 6    or more inhabitants) does not intend to detain a minor for an
 7    offense which constitutes one of the following offenses he or
 8    she shall consult with the State's Attorney's Office prior to
 9    the release of the minor:  first degree murder, second degree
10    murder,  involuntary  manslaughter,  criminal sexual assault,
11    aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery with a
12    firearm, aggravated or heinous  battery  involving  permanent
13    disability  or  disfigurement  or great bodily harm, robbery,
14    aggravated  robbery,  armed  robbery,  vehicular   hijacking,
15    aggravated  vehicular  hijacking,  vehicular invasion, arson,
16    aggravated arson,  kidnapping,  aggravated  kidnapping,  home
17    invasion, burglary, or residential burglary.
18        (c)  Except  as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d),
19    or (e), no minor shall  be  detained  in  a  county  jail  or
20    municipal  lockup  for more than 12 hours, unless the offense
21    is a crime of  violence  in  which  case  the  minor  may  be
22    detained  up  to 24 hours. For the purpose of this paragraph,
23    "crime of violence" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section
24    1-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug  Abuse  and  Dependency
25    Act.
26        (i)  The period of detention is deemed to have begun once
27    the  minor  has  been  placed  in  a  locked  room or cell or
28    handcuffed to a stationary object in  a  building  housing  a
29    county  jail  or municipal lockup.  Time spent transporting a
30    minor is not considered to be time  in  detention  or  secure
31    custody.
32        (ii)  Any  minor  so  confined  shall  be  under periodic
33    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or remain
34    in contact with adults in custody in the building.
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -41-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1        (iii)  Upon placement in secure  custody  in  a  jail  or
 2    lockup,  the  minor  shall  be informed of the purpose of the
 3    detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact  that
 4    it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
 5        (iv)  A  log  shall be kept which shows the offense which
 6    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and circumstances
 7    for the decision to detain and the length of time  the  minor
 8    was in detention.
 9        (v)  Violation of the time limit on detention in a county
10    jail  or municipal lockup shall not, in and of itself, render
11    inadmissible evidence obtained as a result of  the  violation
12    of this time limit.  Minors under 18 17 years of age shall be
13    kept separate from confined adults and may not at any time be
14    kept  in  the  same  cell,  room or yard with adults confined
15    pursuant to criminal law.  Persons 18 17  years  of  age  and
16    older  who  have a petition of delinquency filed against them
17    shall be confined in an adult detention facility.
18        (d) (i)  If a minor 12 years of age or older is  confined
19    in  a  county  jail  in  a  county  with  a  population below
20    3,000,000 inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall  be
21    implemented in such a manner that there will be no contact by
22    sight,  sound  or  otherwise  between  the  minor  and  adult
23    prisoners.   Minors  12  years  of  age or older must be kept
24    separate from confined adults and may not at any time be kept
25    in the same cell, room, or yard with confined  adults.   This
26    paragraph  (d)(i)  shall only apply to confinement pending an
27    adjudicatory hearing and shall not exceed 40 hours, excluding
28    Saturdays, Sundays and court designated holidays.  To  accept
29    or  hold  minors  during this time period, county jails shall
30    comply with  all  monitoring  standards  promulgated  by  the
31    Department  of Corrections and training standards approved by
32    the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
33        (ii)  To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
34    after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of  this
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -42-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    subsection  (2)  of  this  Section  but  not exceeding 7 days
 2    including  Saturdays,  Sundays  and   holidays   pending   an
 3    adjudicatory  hearing,  county  jails  shall  comply with all
 4    temporary detention standards promulgated by  the  Department
 5    of   Corrections  and  training  standards  approved  by  the
 6    Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
 7        (iii)  To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,
 8    after the time period prescribed  in  paragraphs  (d)(i)  and
 9    (d)(ii)  of this subsection (2) of this Section, county jails
10    shall comply with all programmatic and training standards for
11    juvenile detention homes promulgated  by  the  Department  of
12    Corrections.
13        (e)  When  a  minor  who  is  at least 15 years of age is
14    prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State,  the  court
15    may enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in
16    the  county  jail.   However,  any  juvenile  confined in the
17    county jail under this  provision  shall  be  separated  from
18    adults  who  are confined in the county jail in such a manner
19    that there will be no contact by sight,  sound  or  otherwise
20    between the juvenile and adult prisoners.
21        (f)  For  purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
22    minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
23    the direct and constant  supervision  of  a  juvenile  police
24    officer.   During  such  time  as  is  necessary to conduct a
25    lineup, and while supervised by a  juvenile  police  officer,
26    the sight and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
27        (g)  For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
28    taken  to  a County Jail or municipal lockup under the direct
29    and constant supervision of  a  law  enforcement  officer  or
30    correctional  officer.   During  such time as is necessary to
31    process the minor, and while supervised by a law  enforcement
32    officer   or   correctional  officer,  the  sight  and  sound
33    separation provisions shall not apply.
34        (3)  If the probation officer  or  State's  Attorney  (or
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -43-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1    such other public officer designated by the court in a county
 2    having  3,000,000  or  more  inhabitants) determines that the
 3    minor may be a delinquent minor as  described  in  subsection
 4    (3)  of  Section 5-105, and should be retained in custody but
 5    does not require  physical  restriction,  the  minor  may  be
 6    placed  in  non-secure  custody  for up to 40 hours pending a
 7    detention hearing.
 8        (4)  Any  minor  taken  into   temporary   custody,   not
 9    requiring  secure detention, may, however, be detained in the
10    home of his  or  her  parent  or  guardian  subject  to  such
11    conditions as the court may impose.

14        (2)  (Blank). Presumptive transfer.
15             (a)  If  the  State's  Attorney files a petition, at
16        any time prior to commencement of the minor's  trial,  to
17        permit  prosecution  under  the  criminal  laws  and  the
18        petition  alleges  the  commission by a minor 15 years of
19        age or older of: (i) a Class X felony  other  than  armed
20        violence;  (ii) aggravated discharge of a firearm;  (iii)
21        armed violence with a firearm when the predicate  offense
22        is a Class 1 or Class 2 felony and the State's Attorney's

24        committed is in furtherance of the criminal activities of
25        an organized gang; (iv) armed  violence  with  a  firearm
26        when the predicate offense is a violation of the Illinois

29        was a machine gun or other weapon described in subsection
30        (a)(7) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, and,
31        if  the  juvenile  judge  assigned  to hear and determine
32        motions  to  transfer  a  case  for  prosecution  in  the
33        criminal court determines that there is probable cause to
34        believe that the allegations in the petition  and  motion
 
HB2853 Engrossed            -46-     LRB093 10695 RLC 11063 b
 1        are  true,  there  is  a  rebuttable presumption that the
 2        minor is not a fit and proper subject to  be  dealt  with
 3        under  the  Juvenile  Justice  Reform  Provisions of 1998
 4        (Public Act 90-590), and  that,  except  as  provided  in
 5        paragraph  (b),  the  case  should  be transferred to the

 7             (b)  The  judge  shall  enter  an  order  permitting
 8        prosecution under the criminal laws  of  Illinois  unless
 9        the  judge  makes a finding based on clear and convincing
10        evidence that the minor would be amenable  to  the  care,
11        treatment,  and  training  programs available through the
12        facilities of the juvenile court based on  an  evaluation
13        of the following:
14             (i)  The seriousness of the alleged offense;
15             (ii)  The minor's history of delinquency;
16             (iii)  The age of the minor;
17             (iv)    The  culpability  of the minor in committing
18        the alleged offense;
19             (v)  Whether  the  offense  was  committed   in   an
20        aggressive or premeditated manner;
21             (vi)  Whether  the  minor used or possessed a deadly
22        weapon when committing the alleged offense;
23             (vii)  The minor's history  of  services,  including
24        the  minor's  willingness  to participate meaningfully in
25        available services;
26             (viii) Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
27        the minor can be rehabilitated before the  expiration  of
28        the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
29             (ix)  The  adequacy  of  the  punishment or services
30        available in the juvenile justice system.
31        In  considering  these  factors,  the  court  shall  give
32    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense  and
33    the  minor's  prior  record  of delinquency than to the other
34    factors listed in this subsection.

 1        (3)  Discretionary transfer.
 2             (a)  If a petition alleges commission by a minor  13
 3        years  of  age or over of an act that constitutes a crime
 4        under the laws of  this  State  and,  on  motion  of  the
 5        State's Attorney to permit prosecution of the minor under
 6        the criminal laws, a Juvenile Judge assigned by the Chief
 7        Judge of the Circuit to hear and determine those motions,
 8        after hearing but before commencement of the trial, finds
 9        that   there  is  probable  cause  to  believe  that  the
10        allegations in the motion are true and that it is not  in
11        the  best  interests  of the public to proceed under this
12        Act, the court may enter an order permitting  prosecution
13        under the criminal laws.
14             (b)  In  making  its  determination on the motion to
15        permit prosecution under the  criminal  laws,  the  court
16        shall consider among other matters:
17             (i)  The seriousness of the alleged offense;
18             (ii)  The minor's history of delinquency;
19             (iii)  The age of the minor;
20             (iv)  The culpability of the minor in committing the
21        alleged offense;
22             (v)  Whether   the   offense  was  committed  in  an
23        aggressive or premeditated manner;
24             (vi)  Whether the minor used or possessed  a  deadly
25        weapon when committing the alleged offense;
26             (vii)  The  minor's  history  of services, including
27        the minor's willingness to  participate  meaningfully  in
28        available services;
29             (viii)  The  adequacy  of the punishment or services
30        available in the juvenile justice system.
31        In  considering  these  factors,  the  court  shall  give
32    greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense  and
33    the  minor's  prior  record  of delinquency than to the other
34    factors listed in this subsection.

 1        (4)  The rules of evidence for this hearing shall be  the
 2    same  as  under  Section  5-705 of this Act.  A minor must be
 3    represented in court by counsel before  the  hearing  may  be
 4    commenced.
 5        (5)  If criminal proceedings are instituted, the petition
 6    for  adjudication  of  wardship shall be dismissed insofar as
 7    the act or acts involved in the criminal proceedings.  Taking
 8    of evidence in  a  trial  on  petition  for  adjudication  of
 9    wardship  is  a  bar  to  criminal proceedings based upon the
10    conduct alleged in the petition.

24    person.
25        (5)  Records which have not been expunged are sealed, and

28        (6)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
29    prohibit  the  maintenance  of  information  relating  to  an
30    offense  after  records  or files concerning the offense have
31    been expunged if the information is kept  in  a  manner  that
32    does   not  enable  identification  of  the  offender.   This
33    information may only be used for statistical  and  bona  fide
34    research purposes.

25        Transportation.  The prisoners used on this program shall
26        be selected by the Director of  Corrections  on  whatever

30        facility but still in the custody of  the  Department  of

25        this purpose  it  may  issue  subpoenas  and  compel  the
26        attendance  of  witnesses and the production of documents
27        only if there is reason to believe that  such  procedures
28        would   provide   evidence   that  such  violations  have
29        occurred.
30             If any person fails to obey a subpoena issued  under
31        this  subsection,  the  Director may apply to any circuit

 4        existing  inter-gang affiliation or alliance; and (3) the

 6        promptly  segregate  leaders  from  inmates who belong to

 9        conditions  and  space  available  at  the   correctional
10        facility,  prohibition of visual and sound communication.
11        For the purposes  of  this  paragraph  (r-10),  "leaders"
12        means persons who:
13                  (i)  are members of a criminal streetgang;
14                  (ii)  with  respect to other individuals within
15             the streetgang,  occupy  a  position  of  organizer,
16             supervisor,  or  other  position  of  management  or
17             leadership; and
18                  (iii)  are  actively  and personally engaged in
19             directing,  ordering,  authorizing,  or   requesting
20             commission  of  criminal  acts  by others, which are
21             punishable as a felony, in furtherance of streetgang
22             related activity both  within  and  outside  of  the
23             Department of Corrections.
24        "Streetgang",  "gang",  and "streetgang related" have the

 4        required. The monitoring may be by video, voice, or other
 5        method of recording or by any other means.   As  used  in
 6        this subdivision (1)(t), "organized gang" has the meaning

25    in the impact incarceration program.
26        (3)  When the Department  lets  bids  for  contracts  for
27    medical  services  to  be  provided  to  persons committed to
28    Department facilities by a health  maintenance  organization,
