7 Sec. 5-407. Processing of juvenile in possession of a
8firearm.
9 (a) If a law enforcement officer detains a minor pursuant
10to Section 10-27.1A of the School Code, the officer shall
11deliver the minor to the nearest juvenile officer, in the
12manner prescribed by subsection (2) of Section 5-405 of this
13Act. The juvenile officer shall deliver the minor without
14unnecessary delay to the court or to the place designated by

16shall the minor be eligible for any other disposition by the
17juvenile police officer, notwithstanding the provisions of
18subsection (3) of Section 5-405 of this Act.
19 (b) Minors shall be brought before a judicial officer
20within 40 hours, which includes exclusive of Saturdays,
21Sundays, and court-designated holidays, for a detention
22hearing to determine whether he or she shall be further held in
23custody. If the court finds that there is probable cause to

HB2306- 2 -LRB101 09741 SLF 54841 b
1believe that the minor is a delinquent minor by virtue of his
2or her violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1
3of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 while
4on school grounds, that finding shall create a presumption that
5immediate and urgent necessity exists under subdivision (2) of
6Section 5-501 of this Act. Once the presumption of immediate
7and urgent necessity has been raised, the burden of
8demonstrating the lack of immediate and urgent necessity shall
9be on any party that is opposing detention for the minor.
10Should the court order detention pursuant to this Section, the
11minor shall be detained, pending the results of a court-ordered
12psychological evaluation to determine if the minor is a risk to
13himself, herself, or others. Upon receipt of the psychological
14evaluation, the court shall review the determination regarding
15the existence of urgent and immediate necessity. The court
16shall consider the psychological evaluation in conjunction
17with the other factors identified in subdivision (2) of Section
185-501 of this Act in order to make a de novo determination
19regarding whether it is a matter of immediate and urgent
20necessity for the protection of the minor or of the person or
21property of another that the minor be detained or placed in a
22shelter care facility. In addition to the pre-trial conditions
23found in Section 5-505 of this Act, the court may order the

11no longer presents a risk to himself, herself, or others.
12 (d) Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to
13subsection (b) of this Section and statements made by the minor
14during the course of these evaluations, shall not be admissible
15on the issue of delinquency during the course of any
16adjudicatory hearing held under this Act.

22to transport students to or from school or a school-related
23activity, or any public way within 1,000 feet of the real

13county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
14under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
15confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
16no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
17and adult prisoners.
18 (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
19minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
20the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
21officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,

25 (1) Unless sooner released, a minor alleged to be a

HB2306- 11 -LRB101 09741 SLF 54841 b
1delinquent minor taken into temporary custody must be brought
2before a judicial officer within 40 hours for a detention or
3shelter care hearing to determine whether he or she shall be
4further held in custody. If a minor alleged to be a delinquent
5minor taken into custody is hospitalized or is receiving
6treatment for a physical or mental condition, and is unable to
7be brought before a judicial officer for a detention or shelter
8care hearing, the 40 hour period will not commence until the
9minor is released from the hospital or place of treatment. If
10the minor gives false information to law enforcement officials
11regarding the minor's identity or age, the 40 hour period will
12not commence until the court rules that the minor is subject to
13this Act and not subject to prosecution under the Criminal Code
14of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. Any other delay
15attributable to a minor alleged to be a delinquent minor who is
16taken into temporary custody shall act to toll the 40 hour time
17period. The 40 hour time period shall be tolled to allow
18counsel for the minor to prepare for the detention or shelter
19care hearing, upon a motion filed by such counsel and granted
20by the court. In all cases, the 40 hour time period which
21includes is exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and
22court-designated holidays.
23 (2) If the State's Attorney or probation officer (or other
24public officer designated by the court in a county having more
25than 3,000,000 inhabitants) determines that the minor should be
26retained in custody, he or she shall cause a petition to be

HB2306- 12 -LRB101 09741 SLF 54841 b
1filed as provided in Section 5-520 of this Article, and the
2clerk of the court shall set the matter for hearing on the
3detention or shelter care hearing calendar. Immediately upon
4the filing of a petition in the case of a minor retained in
5custody, the court shall cause counsel to be appointed to
6represent the minor. When a parent, legal guardian, custodian,
7or responsible relative is present and so requests, the
8detention or shelter care hearing shall be held immediately if
9the court is in session and the State is ready to proceed,
10otherwise at the earliest feasible time. In no event shall a
11detention or shelter care hearing be held until the minor has
12had adequate opportunity to consult with counsel. The probation
13officer or such other public officer designated by the court in
14a county having more than 3,000,000 inhabitants shall notify
15the minor's parent, legal guardian, custodian, or responsible
16relative of the time and place of the hearing. The notice may
17be given orally.
18 (3) The minor must be released from custody at the
19expiration of the 40 hour period specified by this Section if
20not brought before a judicial officer within that period.
21 (4) After the initial 40 hour period has lapsed, the court
22may review the minor's custodial status at any time prior to
23the trial or sentencing hearing. If during this time period new
24or additional information becomes available concerning the
25minor's conduct, the court may conduct a hearing to determine
26whether the minor should be placed in a detention or shelter

HB2306- 13 -LRB101 09741 SLF 54841 b
1care facility. If the court finds that there is probable cause
2that the minor is a delinquent minor and that it is a matter of
3immediate and urgent necessity for the protection of the minor
4or of the person or property of another, or that he or she is
5likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, the court may
6order that the minor be placed in detention or shelter care.
