|
| 18 | | Sec. 5-410. Non-secure custody or detention.
|
| 19 | | (1) Placement of a minor away from his or her home must be |
| 20 | | the last resort and be the least restrictive alternative |
| 21 | | available. Any minor arrested or taken into custody pursuant to |
| 22 | | this Act who
requires care away from his or her home but who |
| 23 | | does not require physical
restriction shall be given temporary |
| 24 | | care in a foster family home or other
shelter facility |
|
| | HB3480 | - 4 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | designated by the court.
|
| 2 | | (2) (a) (Blank). Any minor 10 years of age or older |
| 3 | | arrested
pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to |
| 4 | | believe that the minor
is a delinquent minor and that
(i) |
| 5 | | secured custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity |
| 6 | | for the
protection of the minor or of the person or property of |
| 7 | | another, (ii) the minor
is likely to flee the jurisdiction of |
| 8 | | the court, or (iii) the minor was taken
into custody under a |
| 9 | | warrant, may be kept or detained in an authorized
detention |
| 10 | | facility. A minor under 13 years of age shall not be admitted, |
| 11 | | kept, or detained in a detention facility unless a local youth |
| 12 | | service provider, including a provider through the |
| 13 | | Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services network, has been |
| 14 | | contacted and has not been able to accept the minor. No minor |
| 15 | | under 12 years of age shall be detained in a
county jail or a |
| 16 | | municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
|
| 17 | | (a-5) For a minor arrested or taken into custody for |
| 18 | | vehicular hijacking or aggravated vehicular hijacking, a |
| 19 | | previous finding of delinquency for vehicular hijacking or |
| 20 | | aggravated vehicular hijacking shall be given greater weight in |
| 21 | | determining whether secured custody of a minor is a matter of |
| 22 | | immediate and urgent necessity for the protection of the minor |
| 23 | | or of the person or property of another. |
| 24 | | (a-10) It is the policy of this State to identify and |
| 25 | | eliminate barriers to racial, ethnic, and gender fairness |
| 26 | | within the juvenile justice system and to support the |
|
| | HB3480 | - 5 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | fundamental principle of fair and equitable treatment under the |
| 2 | | law. To that end, it is a goal to ensure that detention is the |
| 3 | | last resort and for as short a time as possible, and to |
| 4 | | eliminate the use of detention for young children. On or after |
| 5 | | January 1, 2020, detention of a minor shall be a last resort |
| 6 | | and only in the case of any minor 14 years of age or older |
| 7 | | arrested on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act |
| 8 | | of the 101st General Assembly if there is probable cause to |
| 9 | | believe that the minor is a delinquent minor charged with a |
| 10 | | felony offense, that secured custody is the least restrictive |
| 11 | | alternative available, and is a matter of immediate and urgent |
| 12 | | necessity for the protection of the minor or of the person of |
| 13 | | another. Any minor placed in detention shall immediately have |
| 14 | | counsel appointed and an opportunity to privately consult with |
| 15 | | counsel in person and have a review of the decision to detain |
| 16 | | within 24 hours of the placement in detention. |
| 17 | | (b) The written authorization of the probation officer or |
| 18 | | detention officer
(or other public officer designated by the |
| 19 | | court in a county having
3,000,000 or more inhabitants) |
| 20 | | constitutes authority for the superintendent of
any juvenile |
| 21 | | detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
|
| 22 | | excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and court-designated holidays. |
| 23 | | These
records shall be available to the same persons and |
| 24 | | pursuant to the same
conditions as are law enforcement records |
| 25 | | as provided in Section 5-905.
|
| 26 | | (b-4) The consultation required by paragraph subsection |
|
| | HB3480 | - 6 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | (b-5) shall not be applicable
if the probation officer or |
| 2 | | detention officer (or other public officer
designated
by the |
| 3 | | court in a
county having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) |
| 4 | | utilizes a scorable detention
screening instrument, which has |
| 5 | | been developed with input by the State's
Attorney, to
determine |
| 6 | | whether a minor should be detained, however, paragraph |
| 7 | | subsection (b-5) shall
still be applicable where no such |
| 8 | | screening instrument is used or where the
probation officer, |
| 9 | | detention officer (or other public officer designated by the
|
| 10 | | court in a county
having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) |
| 11 | | deviates from the screening instrument.
|
| 12 | | (b-5) Subject to the provisions of paragraph subsection |
| 13 | | (b-4), if a probation officer
or detention officer
(or other |
| 14 | | public officer designated by
the court in a county having |
| 15 | | 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) does not intend to
detain a |
| 16 | | minor for an offense which constitutes one of the following |
| 17 | | offenses
he or she shall consult with the State's Attorney's |
| 18 | | Office prior to the release
of the minor: first degree murder, |
| 19 | | second degree murder, involuntary
manslaughter, criminal |
| 20 | | sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault,
aggravated |
| 21 | | battery with a firearm as described in Section 12-4.2 or |
| 22 | | subdivision (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), or (e)(4) of Section |
| 23 | | 12-3.05, aggravated or heinous battery involving

| 24 | | disability or disfigurement or great bodily harm, robbery, |
| 25 | | aggravated
robbery, armed robbery, vehicular hijacking, |
| 26 | | aggravated vehicular hijacking,

home |
| 2 | | invasion, burglary, or residential burglary.
|
| 3 | | (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or |
| 4 | | (e), no minor
shall
be detained in a county jail or municipal |
| 5 | | lockup for more than 12 hours, unless
the offense is a crime of |
| 6 | | violence in which case the minor may be detained up
to 24 |
| 7 | | hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence" |
| 8 | | has the
meaning
ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the |
| 9 | | Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
Dependency Act.
|
| 10 | | (i) The
period of detention is deemed to have begun |
| 11 | | once the minor has been placed in a
locked room or cell or |
| 12 | | handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing
a |
| 13 | | county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a |
| 14 | | minor is not
considered to be time in detention or secure |
| 15 | | custody.
|
| 16 | | (ii) Any minor so
confined shall be under periodic |
| 17 | | supervision and shall not be permitted to come
into or |
| 18 | | remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
|
| 19 | | (iii) Upon
placement in secure custody in a jail or |
| 20 | | lockup, the
minor shall be informed of the purpose of the |
| 21 | | detention, the time it is
expected to last and the fact |
| 22 | | that it cannot exceed the time specified under
this Act.
|
| 23 | | (iv) A log shall
be kept which shows the offense which |
| 24 | | is the basis for the detention, the
reasons and |
| 25 | | circumstances for the decision to detain, and the length of |
| 26 | | time the
minor was in detention.
|
|
| | HB3480 | - 8 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | (v) Violation of the time limit on detention
in a |
| 2 | | county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of |
| 3 | | itself, render
inadmissible evidence obtained as a result |
| 4 | | of the violation of this
time limit. Minors under 18 years |
| 5 | | of age shall be kept separate from confined
adults and may |
| 6 | | not at any time be kept in the same cell, room, or yard |
| 7 | | with
adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 |
| 8 | | years of age and older
who have a petition of delinquency |
| 9 | | filed against them may be
confined in an
adult detention |
| 10 | | facility.
In making a determination whether to confine a |
| 11 | | person 18 years of age or
older
who has a petition of |
| 12 | | delinquency filed against the person, these factors,
among |
| 13 | | other matters, shall be considered:
|
| 14 | | (A) the The age of the person;
|
| 15 | | (B) any Any previous delinquent or criminal |
| 16 | | history of the person;
|
| 17 | | (C) any Any previous abuse or neglect history of |
| 18 | | the person; and
|
| 19 | | (D) any Any mental health or educational history of |
| 20 | | the person, or both.
|
| 21 | | (d) (Blank). (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is |
| 22 | | confined in a county jail
in a
county with a population below |
| 23 | | 3,000,000 inhabitants, then the minor's
confinement shall be |
| 24 | | implemented in such a manner that there will be no contact
by |
| 25 | | sight, sound or otherwise between the minor and adult |
| 26 | | prisoners. Minors
12 years of age or older must be kept |
|
| | HB3480 | - 9 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | separate from confined adults and may not
at any time
be kept |
| 2 | | in the same cell, room, or yard with confined adults. This |
| 3 | | paragraph
(d)(i) shall only apply to confinement pending an |
| 4 | | adjudicatory hearing and
shall not exceed 40 hours, excluding |
| 5 | | Saturdays, Sundays and court designated
holidays. To accept or |
| 6 | | hold minors during this time period, county jails shall
comply |
| 7 | | with all monitoring standards adopted by the Department of
|
| 8 | | Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois Law |
| 9 | | Enforcement
Training Standards Board.
|
| 10 | | (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older, |
| 11 | | after the time

| 13 | | including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays pending an
|
| 14 | | adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all |
| 15 | | temporary detention
standards adopted by the Department of |
| 16 | | Corrections and training standards
approved by the Illinois Law |
| 17 | | Enforcement Training Standards Board.
|
| 18 | | (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older, |
| 19 | | after the time
period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and |
| 20 | | (d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of
this
Section, county jails |
| 21 | | shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards |
| 22 | | adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
|
| 23 | | (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is |
| 24 | | prosecuted under the
criminal laws of this State,
the court may |
| 25 | | enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined
in the |
| 26 | | county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail |

this provision shall be separated from adults who are |
| 2 | | confined in the county
jail in such a manner that there will be |
| 3 | | no contact by sight, sound or
otherwise between the juvenile |
| 4 | | and adult prisoners.
|
| 5 | | (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the |
| 6 | | minor may be taken
to a county jail or municipal lockup under |
| 7 | | the direct and constant supervision
of a juvenile police |
| 8 | | officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a
lineup, |
| 9 | | and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight |
| 10 | | and sound
separation provisions shall not apply.
|
| 11 | | (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be |
| 12 | | taken to a county jail County
Jail or municipal lockup under |
| 13 | | the direct and constant supervision of a law
enforcement |
| 14 | | officer or correctional officer. During such time as is |
| 15 | | necessary
to process the minor, and while supervised by a law |
| 16 | | enforcement officer or
correctional officer, the sight and |
| 17 | | sound separation provisions shall not
apply.
|
| 18 | | (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such |
| 19 | | other public
officer designated by the court in a county having |
| 20 | | 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants) determines that the minor may be |
| 21 | | a delinquent minor as described
in subsection (3) of Section |
| 22 | | 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
not require
|
| 23 | | physical restriction, the minor may be placed in non-secure |
| 24 | | custody for up to
40 hours pending a detention hearing.
|
| 25 | | (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring |
| 26 | | secure
detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his |

| 7 | | (Source: P.A. 99-254, eff. 1-1-16; 100-745, eff. 8-10-18; |
| 8 | | revised 10-3-18.)
|
| 9 | | (705 ILCS 405/5-415)
|
| 10 | | Sec. 5-415. Setting of detention or shelter care hearing; |
| 11 | | release.
|
| 12 | | (1) Unless sooner released, a minor alleged to be a |
| 13 | | delinquent minor taken
into temporary custody must be brought |
| 14 | | before a judicial officer within 24 40
hours including |
| 15 | | Saturdays, Sundays, and
court-designated holidays for a |
| 16 | | detention or shelter care hearing to determine whether he or |
| 17 | | she
shall be
further held in custody. If a minor alleged to be |
| 18 | | a delinquent minor taken into
custody is hospitalized or is |
| 19 | | receiving treatment for a physical or mental
condition, and is |
| 20 | | unable to be brought before a judicial officer for a
detention |
| 21 | | or shelter care hearing, the 24-hour 40 hour period will not |
| 22 | | commence until
the minor is released from the hospital or place |
| 23 | | of treatment. If the minor
gives false information to law |
| 24 | | enforcement officials regarding the minor's
identity or age, |
| 25 | | the 24-hour 40 hour period will not commence until the court |
|
| | HB3480 | - 12 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | rules
that the minor is subject to this Act and not subject to |
| 2 | | prosecution under the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal |
| 3 | | Code of 2012. Any
other delay attributable to a minor alleged |
| 4 | | to be a delinquent minor who is
taken into temporary custody |
| 5 | | shall act to toll the 24-hour 40 hour time period. The 24-hour |
| 6 | | 40 hour time period shall be tolled to allow counsel for the |
| 7 | | minor to prepare for the detention or shelter care hearing, |
| 8 | | upon a motion filed by such counsel and granted by the court. |
| 9 | | In all
cases, the 40 hour time period is exclusive of |
| 10 | | Saturdays, Sundays and
court-designated holidays.
|
| 11 | | (2) If the State's Attorney or probation officer (or other |
| 12 | | public
officer designated by the court in a county having more |
| 13 | | than 3,000,000
inhabitants) determines that the minor should be |
| 14 | | retained in custody, he or she
shall
cause a petition to be |
| 15 | | filed as provided in Section 5-520 of this Article, and
the |
| 16 | | clerk of the court shall set the matter for hearing on the |
| 17 | | detention or
shelter care hearing calendar. Immediately upon |
| 18 | | the filing of a petition in the case of a minor retained in |
| 19 | | custody, the court shall cause counsel to be appointed to |
| 20 | | represent the minor. When a parent, legal guardian, custodian, |
| 21 | | or
responsible relative is present and so requests, the |
| 22 | | detention or shelter care
hearing shall be held immediately if |
| 23 | | the court is in session
and the State is ready to proceed, |
| 24 | | otherwise at the earliest feasible time.
In no event shall a |
| 25 | | detention or shelter care hearing be held until the minor has |
| 26 | | had adequate opportunity to consult in person with counsel. The |
|
| | HB3480 | - 13 - | LRB101 07366 SLF 52406 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | probation officer or such other public officer designated by |
| 2 | | the court in a
county having more than 3,000,000 inhabitants |
| 3 | | shall notify the minor's parent,
legal guardian, custodian, or |
| 4 | | responsible relative of the time and place of the
hearing. The |
| 5 | | notice may be given orally.
|
| 6 | | (3) The minor must be released from custody at the |
| 7 | | expiration of the 24-hour 40
hour period specified by this |
| 8 | | Section if not brought before a judicial officer
within that |
| 9 | | period.
|
| 10 | | (4) After the initial 24-hour 40 hour period has lapsed, |
| 11 | | the court may review the
minor's custodial status at any time |
| 12 | | prior to the trial or sentencing
hearing. If during this time |
| 13 | | period new or additional information becomes
available |
| 14 | | concerning the minor's conduct, the court may conduct a hearing |
| 15 | | to
determine whether the minor should be placed in a detention |
| 16 | | or shelter care
