16     Corrections and to reduce the commitment of juvenile
17     offenders to the Department of Juvenile Justice and shall
18     require, when appropriate, coordination with the
19     Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile
20     Justice, and the Department of Children and Family Services
21     in the development and use of community resources,
22     information systems, case review and permanency planning

11 its designee or vouchered by the Comptroller unless each of the
12 following conditions have been met:
13         (a) The probation officer is a full-time employee
14     appointed by the Chief Judge to provide probation services.
15         (b) The probation officer, in order to be eligible for
16     State reimbursement, is receiving a salary of at least
17     $17,000 per year.
18         (c) The probation officer is appointed or was
19     reappointed in accordance with minimum qualifications or
20     criteria established by the Supreme Court; however, all
21     probation officers appointed prior to January 1, 1978,
22     shall be exempted from the minimum requirements
23     established by the Supreme Court. Payments shall be made to
24     counties employing these exempted probation officers as
25     long as they are employed in the position held on the
26     effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985. Promotions

1     shall be governed by minimum qualifications established by
2     the Supreme Court.
3         (d) The Department has an established compensation
4     schedule approved by the Supreme Court. The compensation
5     schedule shall include salary ranges with necessary
6     increments to compensate each employee. The increments
7     shall, within the salary ranges, be based on such factors
8     as bona fide occupational qualifications, performance, and
9     length of service. Each position in the Department shall be
10     placed on the compensation schedule according to job duties
11     and responsibilities of such position. The policy and
12     procedures of the compensation schedule shall be made
13     available to each employee.
14     (8) In order to obtain full reimbursement of all approved
15 costs, each Department must continue to employ at least the
16 same number of probation officers and probation managers as
17 were authorized for employment for the fiscal year which
18 includes January 1, 1985. This number shall be designated as
19 the base amount of the Department. No positions approved by the
20 Division under paragraph (b) of subsection 4 will be included
21 in the base amount. In the event that the Department employs
22 fewer Probation officers and Probation managers than the base
23 amount for a period of 90 days, funding received by the
24 Department under subsection 4 of this Section may be reduced on
25 a monthly basis by the amount of the current salaries of any
26 positions below the base amount.

15 payment to a treasurer of a county which is the most populous
16 of counties sharing the salary and expenses of a Probation and
17 Court Services Department, the treasurer shall divide the money
18 between the counties in a manner that reflects each county's
19 share of the cost incurred by the Department.
20     (10) The county treasurer must certify that funds received

22 Probation and Court Services. The county or circuit shall
23 remain in compliance with all standards, policies and
24 regulations established by the Supreme Court. If at any time
25 the Supreme Court determines that a county or circuit is not in
26 compliance, the Supreme Court shall immediately notify the

 

 

HB2660 Engrossed - 24 - LRB096 08967 RLC 19105 b

4 be required to reduce the amount of monthly reimbursement by

6 occur for each consecutive month of noncompliance. Except as
7 provided in subsection 5 of Section 15, funding to counties

19 shall be considered peace officers. In the exercise of their
20 official duties, probation officers, sheriffs, and police
21 officers may, anywhere within the State, arrest any probationer
22 who is in violation of any of the conditions of his or her
23 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, and it shall
24 be the duty of the officer making the arrest to take the
