Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that the period of probation or conditional discharge of a juvenile shall be a period of at least 5 years, or until the minor has attained the age of 21, whichever is less, only if the juvenile is found to be guilty of first degree murder, and not if the juvenile is found to be guilty of a Class X felony or a forcible felony.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
705 ILCS 405/5-710

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the language of the introduced bill and further amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that a guilty minor shall not be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice for an offense that is a Class 3 or Class 4 felony violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act unless the commitment occurs upon a third or subsequent judicial finding of a violation of probation for substantial noncompliance with court ordered treatment or programming. Provides that the period of probation for a minor who is found guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, or aggravated battery with a firearm shall be at least 36 months. Provides that the period of probation for a minor who is found to be guilty of any other Class X felony shall be at least 24 months. Provides that the period of probation for a Class 1 or Class 2 forcible felony shall be at least 18 months. Provides that if a juvenile is subject to probation for various offenses the court shall schedule hearings to determine whether it is in the best interest of the minor and public safety to terminate probation after the minimum period of probation has been served. Provides that in such a hearing, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is in the best interest of the minor and public safety to terminate probation. Effective January 1, 2017.
