1   AN ACT concerning courts.

2   Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

3 represented in the General Assembly:

4   Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by

5 changing Section 5-715 as follows:

6   (705 ILCS 405/5-715)

7   Sec. 5-715. Probation.

8   (1) The period of probation or conditional discharge shall

9 not exceed 5 years or until the minor has attained the age of

10 21 years, whichever is less, except as provided in this

11 Section for a minor who is found to be guilty for an offense

12 which is first degree murder. The juvenile court may terminate

13 probation or conditional discharge and discharge the minor at

14 any time if warranted by the conduct of the minor and the ends

15 of justice; provided, however, that the period of probation

16 for a minor who is found to be guilty for an offense which is

17 first degree murder shall be at least 5 years.

18  (1.5) The period of probation for a minor who is found

19 guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual

20 assault, or aggravated battery with a firearm shall be at

21 least 36 months. The period of probation for a minor who is

22 found to be guilty of any other Class X felony shall be at

23 least 24 months. The period of probation for a Class 1 or Class
    HB4091 Enrolled  -2-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

1 2 forcible felony shall be at least 18 months. Regardless of

2 the length of probation ordered by the court, for all offenses

3 under this subsection (1.5), the court shall schedule hearings

4 to determine whether it is in the best interest of the minor

5 and public safety to terminate probation after the minimum

6 period of probation has been served. In such a hearing, there

7 shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is in the best

8 interest of the minor and public safety to terminate

9 probation.

10  (2) The court may as a condition of probation or of

11 conditional discharge require that the minor:

12  (a) not violate any criminal statute of any

13  jurisdiction;

14  (b) make a report to and appear in person before any

15  person or agency as directed by the court;

16  (c) work or pursue a course of study or vocational

17  training;

18  (d) undergo medical or psychiatric treatment, rendered

19  by a psychiatrist or psychological treatment rendered by a

24  instruction or residence of persons on probation;

25  (f) support the minor's dependents, if any;

11  Section 2 of the Crime Victims Compensation Act in a

12  school, on the real property comprising a school, or

13  within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising a

14  school;

15  (k) attend a non-residential program for youth;

16  (l) make restitution under the terms of subsection (4)

4   any other applicable condition of probation or conditional

5   discharge, the conditions of home confinement shall be

6   that the minor:

7   (i) remain within the interior premises of the

8   place designated for the minor's confinement during

9   the hours designated by the court;

10  (ii) admit any person or agent designated by the

    HB4091 Enrolled            -5-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

7   presence of any illicit drug prohibited by the Cannabis

8   Control Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or

9   the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act,

10  unless prescribed by a physician, and shall submit samples

11  of the minor's blood or urine or both for tests to

12  determine the presence of any illicit drug; or

13  (u) comply with other conditions as may be ordered by

14  the court.

15  (3) The court may as a condition of probation or of

16 conditional discharge require that a minor found guilty on any

17 alcohol, cannabis, methamphetamine, or controlled substance

18 violation, refrain from acquiring a driver's license during

19 the period of probation or conditional discharge. If the minor

20 is in possession of a permit or license, the court may require

21 that the minor refrain from driving or operating any motor

22 vehicle during the period of probation or conditional

23 discharge, except as may be necessary in the course of the

24 minor's lawful employment.

25  (3.5) The court shall, as a condition of probation or of

26 conditional discharge, require that a minor found to be guilty
    HB4091 Enrolled              -6-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

1 and placed on probation for reasons that include a violation

2 of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals

3 Act or paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of Section 21-1 of the

4 Criminal Code of 2012 undergo medical or psychiatric treatment

6 by a clinical psychologist. The condition may be in addition

7 to any other condition.

8   (3.10) The court shall order that a minor placed on

9 probation or conditional discharge for a sex offense as

10 defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act undergo and

11 successfully complete sex offender treatment. The treatment

12 shall be in conformance with the standards developed under the

13 Sex Offender Management Board Act and conducted by a treatment

14 provider approved by the Board.

15  (4) A minor on probation or conditional discharge shall be

16 given a certificate setting forth the conditions upon which

17 the minor is being released.

18  (5) (Blank).

19  (5.5) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred

20 from the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with

21 the concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or

22 retransfers of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same

23 manner. The court to which jurisdiction has been transferred

24 shall have the same powers as the sentencing court.

25  If the transfer case originated in another state and has

26 been transferred under the Interstate Compact for Juveniles to
    HB4091 Enrolled             -7-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

1 the jurisdiction of an Illinois circuit court for supervision

2 by an Illinois probation department, probation fees may be

3 imposed only if permitted by the Interstate Commission for

4 Juveniles.

5   (6) The General Assembly finds that in order to protect

6 the public, the juvenile justice system must compel compliance

7 with the conditions of probation by responding to violations

8 with swift, certain, and fair punishments and intermediate

9 sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a

10 system of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of

11 the terms and conditions of a sentence of supervision,

12 probation, or conditional discharge, under this Act.

13  The court shall provide as a condition of a disposition of

14 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the

15 probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of

16 intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the

17 circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of

18 the sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or

19 supervision, subject to the provisions of Section 5-720 of

20 this Act.

21  (6.5)(a) When the court places a minor on probation for an

22 offense that involves the possession or discharge of a firearm

23 not causing any injury, and the minor has previously been

24 placed on probation for an offense that involves the

25 possession or discharge of a firearm not causing any injury,

26 the probation agency shall:
    HB4091 Enrolled  -8-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

1   (i) conduct an individualized assessment of the

2   minor's needs;

3   (ii) identify the array of services available in the

4   community where the minor resides that may be appropriate

5   to address the minor's needs, which may include, but are

6   not limited to, restorative justice programs, social

7   service programs for high-risk youth, cognitive behavioral

8   therapy, family engagement, and mentoring; and

9   (iii) share with the minor and the minor's parent,

10  guardian, or legal custodian information about their

11  options to access services identified under this paragraph

12  (a).

13  (b) The probation agency may recommend to the court that

14 it require the minor to access the services identified under

15 paragraph (a) as a condition of probation.

16  (7) Fines and assessments, including any fee or

17 administrative cost authorized under Section 5-4.5-105,

18 5-5-10, 5-6-3, 5-6-3.1, 5-7-6, 5-9-1.4, or 5-9-1.9 of the

19 Unified Code of Corrections, shall not be ordered or imposed

20 on a minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or legal custodian

21 as a condition of probation, conditional discharge, or

22 supervision. If the minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or

23 legal custodian is unable to cover the cost of a condition

24 under this subsection, the court shall not preclude the minor

25 from receiving probation, conditional discharge, or

26 supervision based on the inability to pay. Inability to pay
HB4091 Enrolled  -9-  LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

1 shall not be grounds to object to the minor's placement on
2 probation, conditional discharge, or supervision.
