3guardianship or custody of the Department of Children and
4Family Services under this Act while the minor is in placement.
5The fee shall be imposed only upon a minor who is actively

20other penalty that the court may impose for a violation of
21subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon
22request by the State's Attorney, may in its discretion require
23the offender to remit a fee for his or her attendance at a

24 Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders.
25 (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in

SB0021- 20 -LRB101 06238 SLF 51264 b
1respect of wards of the court:
2 (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, and
3 5-815, a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may
4 be:
5 (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
6 released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
7 custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
8 is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
9 under this subsection and who is found to be a
10 delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
11 a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
12 on probation;
13 (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
14 or without also being put on probation or conditional
15 discharge;
16 (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse
17 assessment conducted by a licensed provider and

19 (iv) on and after the effective date of this
20 amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and before
21 January 1, 2017, placed in the guardianship of the
22 Department of Children and Family Services, but only if
23 the delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or,
24 pursuant to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
25 independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
26 exists. On and after January 1, 2017, placed in the

SB0021- 21 -LRB101 06238 SLF 51264 b
1 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
2 Services, but only if the delinquent minor is under 15
3 years of age or, pursuant to Article II of this Act, a
4 minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect,
5 or dependency exists. An independent basis exists when
6 the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
7 dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
8 or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
9 adjudication of delinquency;
10 (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
11 30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
12 or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
13 order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
14 provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
15 detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
16 years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
17 may be extended by further order of the court for a
18 minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
19 Children and Family Services if the court finds that
20 the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
21 shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
22 detention for time spent in detention under Sections
23 5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a

25 was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
26 order of detention entered under a violation of

SB0021- 22 -LRB101 06238 SLF 51264 b
1 probation or violation of conditional discharge under

9 juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
10 Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
11 petition of delinquency filed against them may be
12 confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
13 determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
14 age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed
15 against the person, these factors, among other
16 matters, shall be considered:
17 (A) the age of the person;

19 history of the person;
20 (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of
21 the person;
22 (D) any mental health history of the person;
23 and
24 (E) any educational history of the person;

19 (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
20 Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
21 minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
22 provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
23 Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
24 a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
25 include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
26 minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified

SB0021- 24 -LRB101 06238 SLF 51264 b

2 custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
3 guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
4 time spent in custody.
5 (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
6 which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
7 Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
8 Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the

10 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
11 a substance use disorder treatment program approved by the
12 Department of Human Services.
13 (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
14Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
15supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
16protection under Section 5-730.
17 (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
18does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
19but is subject to modification until final closing and
20discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
21 (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
22any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
23monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
24of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
25that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
26shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.

1The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
2ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
3the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
4Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
5victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
6Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
7Parental Responsibility Law.
8 (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or

11legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
12sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
13person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
14payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
15Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.

17attend school or participate in a program of training, the
18truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
19report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
20truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding
21any other provision of this Act, in instances in which
22educational services are to be provided to a minor in a
23residential facility where the minor has been placed by the
24court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational
25services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
26School Code.

1 Section 50. The Tobacco Accessories and Smoking Herbs
2Control Act is amended by changing Sections 2 and 4 as follows:
3 (720 ILCS 685/2) (from Ch. 23, par. 2358-2)
4 Sec. 2. Purpose. The sale and possession of marijuana,
5hashish, cocaine, opium and their derivatives, is not only
6prohibited by Illinois Law, but the use of these substances has
7been deemed injurious to the health of the user.
8 It has further been determined by the Surgeon General of
9the United States that the use of tobacco is hazardous to human
10health.
11 The ready availability of smoking herbs to persons under 21
12years of age minors could lead to the use of tobacco and
13illegal drugs.
14 It is in the best interests of the citizens of the State of
15Illinois to seek to prohibit the spread of illegal drugs,
16tobacco or smoking materials to persons under 21 years of age
17minors. The prohibition of the sale of tobacco and snuff
18accessories and smoking herbs to persons under 21 years of age
19minors would help to curb the usage of illegal drugs and
20tobacco products, among our youth.
