    AN ACT to amend the Counties  Code  by  changing  Section
3-6039.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The Counties  Code  is  amended  by  changing
Section 3-6039 as follows:

    (55 ILCS 5/3-6039)
    Sec.   3-6039.   County   juvenile  impact  incarceration
program.
    (a)  With  the  approval  of  the   county   board,   the
Department  of  Probation  and Court Services in any a county
with 3,000,000 or fewer inhabitants shall have the  power  to
operate  a  county  juvenile impact incarceration program for
eligible delinquent minors.  If the court finds that a  minor
adjudicated  a  delinquent meets the eligibility requirements
of this Section, the court may  in  its  dispositional  order
approve  the  delinquent  minor  for  placement in the county
juvenile impact incarceration program conditioned upon his or
her acceptance in the program by the Department of  Probation
and  Court  Services.   The  dispositional  order  also shall
provide  that  if  the  Department  of  Probation  and  Court
Services accepts the delinquent  minor  in  the  program  and
determines   that   the  delinquent  minor  has  successfully
completed the county juvenile impact  incarceration  program,
the  delinquent  minor's  detention  shall be reduced to time
considered served upon certification  to  the  court  by  the
Department   of   Probation   and  Court  Services  that  the
delinquent minor has successfully completed the program.   If
the  delinquent  minor  is  not accepted for placement in the
county  juvenile  impact   incarceration   program   or   the
delinquent  minor does not successfully complete the program,
his or her term of commitment shall be as set  forth  by  the
court  in  its  dispositional order.  If the delinquent minor
does not successfully complete the program, time spent in the
program does not count as time served against the time limits
as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section.
    (b)  In order to be eligible to participate in the county
juvenile impact incarceration program, the  delinquent  minor
must meet all of the following requirements:
         (1)  The  delinquent  minor  is at least 13 years of
    age.
         (2)  The act for  which  the  minor  is  adjudicated
    delinquent does not constitute a Class X felony, criminal
    sexual   assault,   first   degree   murder,   aggravated
    kidnapping,  second degree murder, armed violence, arson,
    forcible detention, aggravated criminal sexual abuse or a
    subsequent conviction for criminal sexual abuse.
         (3)  The  delinquent  minor   has   not   previously
    participated  in  a  county juvenile impact incarceration
    program and has not previously served a prior  commitment
    for  an  act  constituting  a  felony  in a Department of
    Corrections   juvenile   correctional   facility.    This
    provision shall not exclude a  delinquent  minor  who  is
    committed  to  the Illinois Department of Corrections and
    is  participating   in   the   county   juvenile   impact
    incarceration    program   under   an   intergovernmental
    cooperation agreement with  the  Illinois  Department  of
    Corrections, Juvenile Division.
         (4)  The  delinquent  minor  is  physically  able to
    participate in strenuous physical activities or labor.
         (5)  The delinquent minor does  not  have  a  mental
    disorder  or  disability that would prevent participation
    in the county juvenile impact incarceration program.
         (6)  The  delinquent  minor   is   recommended   and
    approved  for  placement  in  the  county juvenile impact
    incarceration program in the court's dispositional order.
    The court and  the  Department  of  Probation  and  Court
Services  may also consider, among other matters, whether the
delinquent minor has a history  of  escaping  or  absconding,
whether   participation   in   the   county  juvenile  impact
incarceration program may  pose  a  risk  to  the  safety  or
security of any person, and whether space is available.
    (c)  The  county  juvenile  impact  incarceration program
shall  include,  among  other  matters,  mandatory   physical
training and labor, military formation and drills, regimented
activities, uniformity of dress and appearance, education and
counseling,  including  drug  counseling  if appropriate, and
must impart to the  delinquent  minor  principles  of  honor,
integrity,  self-sufficiency,  self-discipline, self-respect,
and respect for others.
    (d)  Privileges of delinquent minors participating in the
county  juvenile  impact  incarceration  program,   including
visitation, commissary, receipt and retention of property and
publications, and access to television, radio, and a library,
may  be  suspended  or  restricted,  at the discretion of the
Department of Probation and Court Services.
    (e)  Delinquent  minors  participating  in   the   county
juvenile  impact  incarceration  program  shall adhere to all
rules promulgated by the Department of  Probation  and  Court
Services  and  all  requirements  of the program.  Delinquent
minors shall be informed of rules of  behavior  and  conduct.
Disciplinary  procedures  required by any other law or county
ordinance are not applicable.
    (f)  Participation  in   the   county   juvenile   impact
incarceration  program  by a minor adjudicated delinquent for
an act constituting a misdemeanor shall be for a period of at
least 7 days but less than 120  days  as  determined  by  the
Department of Probation and Court Services.  Participation in
the  county  juvenile impact incarceration program by a minor
adjudicated delinquent for an act constituting a felony shall
be for a period of 120 to  180  days  as  determined  by  the
Department of Probation and Court Services.
    (g)  A  delinquent  minor may be removed from the program
for a violation of the terms or conditions of the program  or
if  he  or  she is for any reason unable to participate.  The
Department of Probation and Court Services  shall  promulgate
rules governing conduct that could result in removal from the
program  or  in a determination that the delinquent minor has
not successfully completed the  program.   Delinquent  minors
shall  have  access  to these rules.  The rules shall provide
that the delinquent minor shall receive notice and  have  the
opportunity  to  appear  before and address the Department of
Probation and Court Services or a  person  appointed  by  the
Department  of Probation and Court Services for this purpose.
A  delinquent  minor  may  be  transferred  to  any  juvenile
facilities prior to the hearing.
    (h)  If the Department of Probation  and  Court  Services
accepts  the  delinquent  minor in the program and determines
that the delinquent  minor  has  successfully  completed  the
county juvenile impact incarceration program, the court shall
discharge  the  minor  from custody upon certification to the
court by the Department of Probation and Court Services  that
the  delinquent minor has successfully completed the program.
In the  event  the  delinquent  minor  is  not  accepted  for
placement in the county juvenile impact incarceration program
or  the  delinquent  minor does not successfully complete the
program,  his  or  her  commitment  to  the   Department   of
Corrections,  Juvenile  Division, or juvenile detention shall
be as set forth by the court in its dispositional order.
    (i)  The Department of Probation and Court Services, with
the approval of the county board, shall  have  the  power  to
enter  into intergovernmental cooperation agreements with the
Illinois Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division,  under
which  delinquent minors committed to the Illinois Department
of Corrections, Juvenile Division,  may  participate  in  the
county  juvenile  impact incarceration program.  A delinquent
minor who successfully completes the county  juvenile  impact
incarceration  program  shall be discharged from custody upon
certification to the court  by  the  Illinois  Department  of
Corrections, Juvenile Division, that the delinquent minor has
successfully completed the program.
