discretion of the Department would be  | 
| 22 |  |  served by continuing that care,
service and training  |

| 19 |  |  problems, assisting families in
resolving their  | 
| 20 |  |  problems, and preventing the breakup of the family
 | 
| 21 |  |  where the prevention of child removal is desirable and  | 
| 22 |  |  possible when the
child can be cared for at home  | 
| 23 |  |  without endangering the child's health and
safety;
 | 
| 24 |  |    (D) restoring to their families children who have  |

| 7 |  |  away from their
homes, in cases where the child cannot  |

| 9 |  |  the time of placement, the Department shall consider
 | 
| 10 |  |  concurrent planning,
as described in subsection (l-1)  | 
| 11 |  |  of this Section so that permanency may
occur at the  | 
| 12 |  |  earliest opportunity. Consideration should be given so  | 
| 13 |  |  that if
reunification fails or is delayed, the  | 
| 14 |  |  placement made is the best available
placement to  | 
| 15 |  |  provide permanency for the child;

| 16 |  |    (G) (blank);
 | 
| 17 |  |    (H) (blank); and

| 22 |  |  last
year of high school education or vocational  | 
| 23 |  |  training, in an approved
individual or group treatment  | 
| 24 |  |  program, in a licensed shelter facility,
or secure  | 
| 25 |  |  child care facility.
The Department is not required to  | 
| 26 |  |  place or maintain children:

| 20 |  | any new program
initiative to any agency contracting with the  | 
| 21 |  | Department. As a
prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the  | 
| 22 |  | contractor must post a
surety bond in the amount of the advance  | 
| 23 |  | disbursement and have a
purchase of service contract approved  | 
| 24 |  | by the Department. The Department
may pay up to 2 months  |

accordance with the federal Adoption  | 
| 2 |  |  Assistance and Child Welfare Act of
1980; and
 | 
| 3 |  |   (10) interstate services.
 | 
| 4 |  |  Rules and regulations established by the Department shall  | 
| 5 |  | include
provisions for training Department staff and the staff  | 
| 6 |  | of Department
grantees, through contracts with other agencies  | 
| 7 |  | or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance use  | 
| 8 |  | disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,  | 
| 9 |  | approved by the Department of Human
Services, as a successor to  | 
| 10 |  | the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse,
for the  | 
| 11 |  | purpose of identifying children and adults who
should be  | 
| 12 |  | referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately  | 
| 13 |  | licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use  | 
| 14 |  | disorder treatment.
 | 
| 15 |  |  (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate  | 
| 16 |  | program or
facility within or available to the Department for a  | 
| 17 |  | youth in care and that no
licensed private facility has an  | 
| 18 |  | adequate and appropriate program or none
agrees to accept the  | 
| 19 |  | youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
 | 
| 20 |  | individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.  | 
| 21 |  | The
plan may be developed within the Department or through  | 
| 22 |  | purchase of services
by the Department to the extent that it is  | 
| 23 |  | within its statutory authority
to do.
 | 
| 24 |  |  (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the  | 
| 25 |  | State and shall
include but not be limited to the following  | 
| 26 |  | services:

| 8 |  | to assess and
meet the needs of children and families:
 | 
| 9 |  |   (1) comprehensive family-based services;
 | 
| 10 |  |   (2) assessments;
 | 
| 11 |  |   (3) respite care; and
 | 
| 12 |  |   (4) in-home health services.

| 14 |  | services it
makes available to children or families or for  | 
| 15 |  | which it refers children
or families.
 | 
| 16 |  |  (j) The Department may provide categories of financial  | 
| 17 |  | assistance and
education assistance grants, and shall
 | 
| 18 |  | establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and  | 
| 19 |  | grants, to
persons who
adopt children with physical or mental  | 
| 20 |  | disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
 | 
| 21 |  | children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth  | 
| 22 |  | in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial  | 
| 23 |  | assistance with respect to a
prior adoption and who become  | 
| 24 |  | available for adoption because the
prior adoption has been  | 
| 25 |  | dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive
parents have  | 
| 26 |  | been
terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | died.
The Department may continue to provide financial  | 
| 2 |  | assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was  | 
| 3 |  | determined eligible for financial assistance under this  | 
| 4 |  | subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's  | 
| 5 |  | adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the  | 
| 6 |  | new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or  | 
| 7 |  | parents. The Department may also provide categories of  | 
| 8 |  | financial
assistance and education assistance grants, and
 | 
| 9 |  | shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and  | 
| 10 |  | grants, to persons
appointed guardian of the person under  | 
| 11 |  | Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court
Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,  | 
| 12 |  | 4-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
for children  | 
| 13 |  | who were youth in care for 12 months immediately
prior to the  | 
| 14 |  | appointment of the guardian.
 | 
| 15 |  |  The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs  | 
| 16 |  | of the child
and the adoptive parents,
as set forth in the  | 
| 17 |  | annual
assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are  | 
| 18 |  | allowed where the child
requires special service but such costs  | 
| 19 |  | may not exceed the amounts
which similar services would cost  | 
| 20 |  | the Department if it were to provide or
secure them as guardian  | 
| 21 |  | of the child.
 | 
| 22 |  |  Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
 | 
| 23 |  | inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,  | 
| 24 |  | garnishment, or any
other remedy for recovery or collection of  | 
| 25 |  | a judgment or debt.
 | 
| 26 |  |  (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement  |

 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 9 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  |

adoption
if an approved family is available  | 
| 2 |  | either outside of the Department region
handling the case,
or  | 
| 3 |  | outside of the State of Illinois.
 | 
| 4 |  |  (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any  | 
| 5 |  | child who has
been adjudicated neglected or abused, or  | 
| 6 |  | dependent committed to it pursuant
to the Juvenile Court Act or  | 
| 7 |  | the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
 | 
| 8 |  |  (l) The Department shall
offer family preservation  | 
| 9 |  | services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused
and
Neglected  | 
| 10 |  | Child
Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and  | 
| 11 |  | extended families.
Family preservation
services shall be  | 
| 12 |  | offered (i) to prevent the
placement
of children in
substitute  | 
| 13 |  | care when the children can be cared for at home or in the  | 
| 14 |  | custody of
the person
responsible for the children's welfare,
 | 
| 15 |  | (ii) to
reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
 | 
| 16 |  | maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services  | 
| 17 |  | shall only be
offered when doing so will not endanger the  | 
| 18 |  | children's health or safety. With
respect to children who are  | 
| 19 |  | in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987,  | 
| 20 |  | family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal  | 
| 21 |  | other
than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of  | 
| 22 |  | subsection (2) of Section 2-28
of
that Act has been set, except  | 
| 23 |  | that reunification services may be offered as provided in  | 
| 24 |  | paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
 | 
| 25 |  | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a  | 
| 26 |  | private right of
action or claim on the part of any individual  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 10 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the  | 
| 2 |  | subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act  | 
| 3 |  | of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to  | 
| 4 |  | facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court  | 
| 5 |  | hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act  | 
| 6 |  | of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set  | 
| 7 |  | out in the plan, if those services are not provided with  | 
| 8 |  | reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
 | 
| 9 |  |  The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
 | 
| 10 |  | Department's
responsibility to offer and provide family  | 
| 11 |  | preservation services as
identified in the service plan. The  | 
| 12 |  | child and his family shall be eligible
for services as soon as  | 
| 13 |  | the report is determined to be "indicated". The
Department may  | 
| 14 |  | offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
 | 
| 15 |  | report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,  | 
| 16 |  | prior to
concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the  | 
| 17 |  | Abused and Neglected
Child Reporting Act. However, the child's  | 
| 18 |  | or family's willingness to
accept services shall not be  | 
| 19 |  | considered in the investigation. The
Department may also  | 
| 20 |  | provide services to any child or family who is the
subject of  | 
| 21 |  | any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer  | 
| 22 |  | such
child or family to services available from other agencies  | 
| 23 |  | in the community,
even if the report is determined to be  | 
| 24 |  | unfounded, if the conditions in the
child's or family's home  | 
| 25 |  | are reasonably likely to subject the child or
family to future  | 
| 26 |  | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
of such  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 11 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide  | 
| 2 |  | services to any child or family after completion of a family  | 
| 3 |  | assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided  | 
| 4 |  | under the "differential response program" provided for in  | 
| 5 |  | subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected  | 
| 6 |  | Child Reporting Act.
 | 
| 7 |  |  The Department may, at its discretion except for those  | 
| 8 |  | children also
adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for  | 
| 9 |  | care and training any child
who has been adjudicated addicted,  | 
| 10 |  | as a truant minor in need of
supervision or as a minor  | 
| 11 |  | requiring authoritative intervention, under the
Juvenile Court  | 
| 12 |  | Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child
shall  | 
| 13 |  | be committed to the Department by any court without the  | 
| 14 |  | approval of
the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the  | 
| 15 |  | effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,  | 
| 16 |  | 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the  | 
| 17 |  | Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or  | 
| 18 |  | adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
 | 
| 19 |  | committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor  | 
| 20 |  | less than 16 years
of age committed to the Department under  | 
| 21 |  | Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court
Act
of 1987, (ii) a minor  | 
| 22 |  | for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency  | 
| 23 |  | exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a  | 
| 24 |  | minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to  | 
| 25 |  | reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33  | 
| 26 |  | of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,  |

  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | 2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the  | 
| 2 |  | Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or  | 
| 3 |  | adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
 | 
| 4 |  | committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor  | 
| 5 |  | less than 15 years
of age committed to the Department under  | 
| 6 |  | Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court
Act
of 1987, ii) a minor  | 
| 7 |  | for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency  | 
| 8 |  | exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a  | 
| 9 |  | minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to  | 
| 10 |  | reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33  | 
| 11 |  | of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists  | 
| 12 |  | when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or  | 
| 13 |  | dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or  | 
| 14 |  | circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of  | 
| 15 |  | delinquency. The Department shall
assign a caseworker to attend  | 
| 16 |  | any hearing involving a youth in
the care and custody of the  | 
| 17 |  | Department who is placed on aftercare release, including  | 
| 18 |  | hearings
involving sanctions for violation of aftercare  | 
| 19 |  | release
conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings. 
 | 
| 20 |  |  As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective  | 
| 21 |  | date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and  | 
| 22 |  | implement a special program of family preservation services to  | 
| 23 |  | support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are  | 
| 24 |  | experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress  | 
| 25 |  | of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive  | 
| 26 |  | developmental disorder if the Department determines that those  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 13 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the  | 
| 2 |  | child. The Department may offer services to any family whether  | 
| 3 |  | or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected  | 
| 4 |  | Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or  | 
| 5 |  | family to services available from other agencies in the  | 
| 6 |  | community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are  | 
| 7 |  | reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future  | 
| 8 |  | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of  | 
| 9 |  | these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop  | 
| 10 |  | and implement a public information campaign to alert health and  | 
| 11 |  | social service providers and the general public about these  | 
| 12 |  | special family preservation services. The nature and scope of  | 
| 13 |  | the services offered and the number of families served under  | 
| 14 |  | the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be  | 
| 15 |  | determined by the level of funding that the Department annually  | 
| 16 |  | allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental  | 
| 17 |  | disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,  | 
| 18 |  | including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,  | 
| 19 |  | as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and  | 
| 20 |  | Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American  | 
| 21 |  | Psychiatric Association. | 
| 22 |  |  (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of  | 
| 23 |  | the child
require that
the child be placed in the most  | 
| 24 |  | permanent living arrangement as soon as is
practically
 | 
| 25 |  | possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the  | 
| 26 |  | Department of
Children and
Family Services to conduct  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 14 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at
the
 | 
| 2 |  | earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may  | 
| 3 |  | include prevention of
placement of a child outside the home of  | 
| 4 |  | the family when the child can be cared
for at
home without  | 
| 5 |  | endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with  | 
| 6 |  | the
family,
when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement  | 
| 7 |  | is necessary; or movement of
the child
toward the most  | 
| 8 |  | permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
 | 
| 9 |  |  When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect  | 
| 10 |  | to a child, as
described in this
subsection, and in making such  | 
| 11 |  | reasonable efforts, the child's health and
safety shall be the
 | 
| 12 |  | paramount concern.
 | 
| 13 |  |  When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall  | 
| 14 |  | ensure and
document that reasonable efforts were made to  | 
| 15 |  | prevent or eliminate the need to
remove the child from the  | 
| 16 |  | child's home. The Department must make
reasonable efforts to  | 
| 17 |  | reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
occurs
 | 
| 18 |  | unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act  | 
| 19 |  | of 1987.
At any time after the dispositional hearing where the  | 
| 20 |  | Department believes
that further reunification services would  | 
| 21 |  | be ineffective, it may request a
finding from the court that  | 
| 22 |  | reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The
Department is  | 
| 23 |  | not required to provide further reunification services after  | 
| 24 |  | such
a
finding.
 | 
| 25 |  |  A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be  | 
| 26 |  | made with
considerations of the child's health, safety, and  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 15 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | best interests. At the
time of placement, consideration should  | 
| 2 |  | also be given so that if reunification
fails or is delayed, the  | 
| 3 |  | placement made is the best available placement to
provide  | 
| 4 |  | permanency for the child.
 | 
| 5 |  |  The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent  | 
| 6 |  | planning for
reunification and permanency. The Department  | 
| 7 |  | shall consider the following
factors when determining  | 
| 8 |  | appropriateness of concurrent planning:
 | 
| 9 |  |   (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
 | 
| 10 |  |   (2) the past history of the family;
 | 
| 11 |  |   (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by  | 
| 12 |  |  the family;
 | 
| 13 |  |   (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
 | 
| 14 |  |   (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the  | 
| 15 |  |  family to reunite;
 | 
| 16 |  |   (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to  | 
| 17 |  |  provide an
adoptive
home or long-term placement;
 | 
| 18 |  |   (7) the age of the child;
 | 
| 19 |  |   (8) placement of siblings.
 | 
| 20 |  |  (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any  | 
| 21 |  | child if:
 | 
| 22 |  |   (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary  | 
| 23 |  |  custody
signed by the parents of the child or by the parent  | 
| 24 |  |  having custody of the
child if the parents are not living  | 
| 25 |  |  together or by the guardian or
custodian of the child if  | 
| 26 |  |  the child is not in the custody of either
parent, or
 | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 16 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |   (2) the child is found in the State and neither a  | 
| 2 |  |  parent,
guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
 | 
| 3 |  | If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,  | 
| 4 |  | guardian,
custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department  | 
| 5 |  | may, instead of removing
the child and assuming temporary  | 
| 6 |  | custody, place an authorized
representative of the Department  | 
| 7 |  | in that residence until such time as a
parent, guardian or  | 
| 8 |  | custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness
and  | 
| 9 |  | apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and  | 
| 10 |  | resume
permanent
charge of the child, or until a
relative  | 
| 11 |  | enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's  | 
| 12 |  | health
and
safety and assume charge of the
child until a  | 
| 13 |  | parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
 | 
| 14 |  | such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and  | 
| 15 |  | resume
permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the  | 
| 16 |  | home for a period not
to exceed 12 hours, the Department must  | 
| 17 |  | follow those procedures outlined in
Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or  | 
| 18 |  | 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987.
 | 
| 19 |  |  The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities  | 
| 20 |  | and duties that
a legal custodian of the child would have  | 
| 21 |  | pursuant to subsection (9) of
Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court  | 
| 22 |  | Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken
into temporary custody  | 
| 23 |  | pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
Neglected  | 
| 24 |  | Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
 | 
| 25 |  | under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited  | 
| 26 |  | custody, the
Department, during the period of temporary custody  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 17 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | and before the child
is brought before a judicial officer as  | 
| 2 |  | required by Section 2-9, 3-11,
4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile  | 
| 3 |  | Court Act of 1987, shall have
the authority, responsibilities  | 
| 4 |  | and duties that a legal custodian of the child
would have under  | 
| 5 |  | subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
 | 
| 6 |  | 1987.
 | 
| 7 |  |  The Department shall ensure that any child taken into  | 
| 8 |  | custody
is scheduled for an appointment for a medical  | 
| 9 |  | examination.
 | 
| 10 |  |  A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary  | 
| 11 |  | custody of the
Department who would have custody of the child  | 
| 12 |  | if he were not in the
temporary custody of the Department may  | 
| 13 |  | deliver to the Department a signed
request that the Department  | 
| 14 |  | surrender the temporary custody of the child.
The Department  | 
| 15 |  | may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after
the  | 
| 16 |  | receipt of the request, during which period the Department may  | 
| 17 |  | cause to
be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act  | 
| 18 |  | of 1987. If a
petition is so filed, the Department shall retain  | 
| 19 |  | temporary custody of the
child until the court orders  | 
| 20 |  | otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
the 10-day period,  | 
| 21 |  | the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
requesting  | 
| 22 |  | parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
 | 
| 23 |  | the 10-day period, at which time the authority and duties of  | 
| 24 |  | the Department
with respect to the temporary custody of the  | 
| 25 |  | child shall terminate.
 | 
| 26 |  |  (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 18 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | age in a secure
child care facility licensed by the Department  | 
| 2 |  | that cares for children who are
in need of secure living  | 
| 3 |  | arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being
after a  | 
| 4 |  | determination is made by the facility director and the Director  | 
| 5 |  | or the
Director's designate prior to admission to the facility  | 
| 6 |  | subject to Section
2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.  | 
| 7 |  | This subsection (m-1) does not apply
to a child who is subject  | 
| 8 |  | to placement in a correctional facility operated
pursuant to  | 
| 9 |  | Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
 | 
| 10 |  | child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the  | 
| 11 |  | Department before being
subject to placement in a correctional  | 
| 12 |  | facility and a court of competent
jurisdiction has ordered  | 
| 13 |  | placement of the child in a secure care facility.
 | 
| 14 |  |  (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age  | 
| 15 |  | in
licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the  | 
| 16 |  | Department,
appropriate services aimed at family preservation  | 
| 17 |  | have been unsuccessful and
cannot ensure the child's health and  | 
| 18 |  | safety or are unavailable and such
placement would be for their  | 
| 19 |  | best interest. Payment
for board, clothing, care, training and  | 
| 20 |  | supervision of any child placed in
a licensed child care  | 
| 21 |  | facility may be made by the Department, by the
parents or  | 
| 22 |  | guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
 | 
| 23 |  | Department and the parents or guardians, except that no  | 
| 24 |  | payments shall be
made by the Department for any child placed  | 
| 25 |  | in a licensed child care
facility for board, clothing, care,  | 
| 26 |  | training and supervision of such a
child that exceed the  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 19 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring
for a  | 
| 2 |  | child in institutions for dependent or neglected children  | 
| 3 |  | operated by
the Department. However, such restriction on  | 
| 4 |  | payments does not apply in
cases where children require  | 
| 5 |  | specialized care and treatment for problems of
severe emotional  | 
| 6 |  | disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or
any  | 
| 7 |  | combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement  | 
| 8 |  | of such
children are not available at payment rates within the  | 
| 9 |  | limitations set
forth in this Section. All reimbursements for  | 
| 10 |  | services delivered shall be
absolutely inalienable by  | 
| 11 |  | assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or
otherwise.
 | 
| 12 |  |  (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child  | 
| 13 |  | welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve  | 
| 14 |  | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any  | 
| 15 |  | minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to  | 
| 16 |  | subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of  | 
| 17 |  | 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,  | 
| 18 |  | provided that the minor consents to such services and has not  | 
| 19 |  | yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have  | 
| 20 |  | responsibility for the development and delivery of services  | 
| 21 |  | under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under  | 
| 22 |  | this Section through the Department of Children and Family  | 
| 23 |  | Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.  | 
| 24 |  | Youth participating in services under this Section shall  | 
| 25 |  | cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an  | 
| 26 |  | agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 20 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A  | 
| 2 |  | homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any  | 
| 3 |  | youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The  | 
| 4 |  | Department shall continue child welfare services under this  | 
| 5 |  | Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years  | 
| 6 |  | of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves  | 
| 7 |  | self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The  | 
| 8 |  | Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,  | 
| 9 |  | readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child  | 
| 10 |  | welfare services under this Section and how such services may  | 
| 11 |  | be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and  | 
| 12 |  | the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this  | 
| 13 |  | information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations  | 
| 14 |  | describing services intended to assist minors in achieving  | 
| 15 |  | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.  | 
| 16 |  |  (o) The Department shall establish an administrative  | 
| 17 |  | review and appeal
process for children and families who request  | 
| 18 |  | or receive child welfare
services from the Department. Youth in  | 
| 19 |  | care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and  | 
| 20 |  | foster families with whom
those youth are placed, shall be  | 
| 21 |  | afforded the same procedural and appeal
rights as children and  | 
| 22 |  | families in the case of placement by the Department,
including  | 
| 23 |  | the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
 | 
| 24 |  | that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child  | 
| 25 |  | welfare
agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,  | 
| 26 |  | affords those
rights to children and foster families. The  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 21 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | Department shall accept for
administrative review and an appeal  | 
| 2 |  | hearing a complaint made by (i) a child
or foster family  | 
| 3 |  | concerning a decision following an initial review by a
private  | 
| 4 |  | child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who  | 
| 5 |  | alleges
a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An  | 
| 6 |  | appeal of a decision
concerning a change in the placement of a  | 
| 7 |  | child shall be conducted in an
expedited manner. A court  | 
| 8 |  | determination that a current foster home placement is necessary  | 
| 9 |  | and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of  | 
| 10 |  | 1987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits  | 
| 11 |  | of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,  | 
| 12 |  | involving a change of placement decision.
 | 
| 13 |  |  (p) (Blank).
 | 
| 14 |  |  (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,  | 
| 15 |  | for the
benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of  | 
| 16 |  | money or other
property which is received on behalf of such  | 
| 17 |  | children, or any financial
benefits to which such children are  | 
| 18 |  | or may become entitled while under
the jurisdiction or care of  | 
| 19 |  | the Department.
 | 
| 20 |  |  The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,  | 
| 21 |  | interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial  | 
| 22 |  | institutions
for children for whom the Department is legally  | 
| 23 |  | responsible and who have been
determined eligible for Veterans'  | 
| 24 |  | Benefits, Social Security benefits,
assistance allotments from  | 
| 25 |  | the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental
voluntary  | 
| 26 |  | payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
 | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 22 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous  | 
| 2 |  | payments. Interest
earned by each account shall be credited to  | 
| 3 |  | the account, unless
disbursed in accordance with this  | 
| 4 |  | subsection.
 | 
| 5 |  |  In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the  | 
| 6 |  | Department
shall:
 | 
| 7 |  |   (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and  | 
| 8 |  |  federal laws for
disbursing money from children's  | 
| 9 |  |  accounts. In all
circumstances,
the Department's  | 
| 10 |  |  "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
 | 
| 11 |  |  approve disbursements from children's accounts. The  | 
| 12 |  |  Department
shall be responsible for keeping complete  | 
| 13 |  |  records of all disbursements for each account for any  | 
| 14 |  |  purpose.
 | 
| 15 |  |   (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from  | 
| 16 |  |  State funds for the
child's board and care, medical care  | 
| 17 |  |  not covered under Medicaid, and social
services; and  | 
| 18 |  |  utilize funds from the child's account, as
covered by  | 
| 19 |  |  regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,  | 
| 20 |  |  disbursements from
all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of  | 
| 21 |  |  $13,000,000, shall be
deposited by the Department into the  | 
| 22 |  |  General Revenue Fund and the balance over
1/12 of  | 
| 23 |  |  $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
 | 
| 24 |  |   (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing  | 
| 25 |  |  for the child's costs
of care, as specified in item (2).  | 
| 26 |  |  The balance shall accumulate in accordance
with relevant  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 23 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child  | 
| 2 |  |  or his
or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
 | 
| 3 |  |  (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations  | 
| 4 |  | encouraging all adoption
agencies to voluntarily forward to the  | 
| 5 |  | Department or its agent names and
addresses of all persons who  | 
| 6 |  | have applied for and have been approved for
adoption of a  | 
| 7 |  | hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of  | 
| 8 |  | such
children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of  | 
| 9 |  | such names and
addresses shall be maintained by the Department  | 
| 10 |  | or its agent, and coded
lists which maintain the  | 
| 11 |  | confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the
child and of  | 
| 12 |  | the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
 | 
| 13 |  | adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing  | 
| 14 |  | such
children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an  | 
| 15 |  | agent its duty to
maintain and make available such lists. The  | 
| 16 |  | Department shall ensure that
such agent maintains the  | 
| 17 |  | confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the
child and of  | 
| 18 |  | the child.
 | 
| 19 |  |  (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may  | 
| 20 |  | establish and
implement a program to reimburse Department and  | 
| 21 |  | private child welfare
agency foster parents licensed by the  | 
| 22 |  | Department of Children and Family
Services for damages  | 
| 23 |  | sustained by the foster parents as a result of the
malicious or  | 
| 24 |  | negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
 | 
| 25 |  | party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions  | 
| 26 |  | of foster
children to other individuals. Such coverage will be  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 24 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | secondary to the
foster parent liability insurance policy, if  | 
| 2 |  | applicable. The program shall
be funded through appropriations  | 
| 3 |  | from the General Revenue Fund,
specifically designated for such  | 
| 4 |  | purposes.
 | 
| 5 |  |  (t) The Department shall perform home studies and  | 
| 6 |  | investigations and
shall exercise supervision over visitation  | 
| 7 |  | as ordered by a court pursuant
to the Illinois Marriage and  | 
| 8 |  | Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption
Act only if:
 | 
| 9 |  |   (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
 | 
| 10 |  |  directs the Department to perform such services; and
 | 
| 11 |  |   (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
 | 
| 12 |  |  the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its  | 
| 13 |  |  reasonable costs for
providing such services in accordance  | 
| 14 |  |  with Department rules, or has
determined that neither party  | 
| 15 |  |  is financially able to pay.
 | 
| 16 |  |  The Department shall provide written notification to the  | 
| 17 |  | court of the
specific arrangements for supervised visitation  | 
| 18 |  | and projected monthly costs
within 60 days of the court order.  | 
| 19 |  | The Department shall send to the court
information related to  | 
| 20 |  | the costs incurred except in cases where the court
has  | 
| 21 |  | determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court  | 
| 22 |  | may

| 7 |  | building, or distinct part of the
building. The plan shall  | 
| 8 |  | include descriptions of the types of facilities that
are needed  | 
| 9 |  | in Illinois; the cost of developing these secure care  | 
| 10 |  | facilities;

pursuant to an  | 
| 22 |  |  adjudication as a dependent minor under this subdivision  |

herein solely for the purpose of qualifying for  |

wards of the court:
 | 
| 25 |  |   (a) A minor under 18 years of age found to be neglected  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 40 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  or abused under
Section 2-3 or dependent under Section 2-4  | 
| 2 |  |  may be (1) continued in the
custody of his or her parents,
 | 
| 3 |  |  guardian or legal custodian; (2) placed in accordance with  | 
| 4 |  |  Section 2-27;
(3) restored to the custody of the parent,  | 
| 5 |  |  parents, guardian, or legal
custodian, provided the court  | 
| 6 |  |  shall order the parent, parents, guardian, or
legal  | 
| 7 |  |  custodian to cooperate with the Department of Children and  | 
| 8 |  |  Family
Services and comply with the terms of an after-care  | 
| 9 |  |  plan or risk the loss of
custody of the child and the  | 
| 10 |  |  possible termination of their parental rights;
or
(4)  | 
| 11 |  |  ordered partially or completely emancipated in accordance  | 
| 12 |  |  with
the provisions of the Emancipation of Minors Act.
 | 
| 13 |  |   However, in any case in which a minor is found by the  | 
| 14 |  |  court to be
neglected or abused under Section 2-3 of this  | 
| 15 |  |  Act, custody of the minor
shall not be restored to any  | 
| 16 |  |  parent, guardian or legal custodian whose acts
or omissions  | 
| 17 |  |  or both have been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of
 | 
| 18 |  |  Section 2-21, as forming the basis for the court's finding  | 
| 19 |  |  of abuse or
neglect, until such time
as a
hearing is held  | 
| 20 |  |  on the issue of the best interests of the minor and the  | 
| 21 |  |  fitness
of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care  | 
| 22 |  |  for the minor without
endangering the minor's health or  | 
| 23 |  |  safety, and the court
enters an order that such parent,  | 
| 24 |  |  guardian or legal custodian is fit to care
for the minor.
 | 
| 25 |  |   (b) A minor under 18 years of age found to be dependent  | 
| 26 |  |  under
Section 2-4 may be (1) placed in accordance with  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 41 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  Section 2-27 or (2)
ordered partially or completely  | 
| 2 |  |  emancipated in accordance with the
provisions of the  | 
| 3 |  |  Emancipation of Minors Act.
 | 
| 4 |  |   However, in any case in which a minor is found by the  | 
| 5 |  |  court to be
dependent under Section 2-4 of this Act,  | 
| 6 |  |  custody of the minor shall not be
restored to
any parent,  | 
| 7 |  |  guardian or legal custodian whose acts or omissions or both  | 
| 8 |  |  have
been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of Section  | 
| 9 |  |  2-21, as forming the
basis for the court's finding of  | 
| 10 |  |  dependency, until such
time as a hearing is
held on the  | 
| 11 |  |  issue of the fitness of such parent, guardian or legal
 | 
| 12 |  |  custodian to care for the minor without endangering the  | 
| 13 |  |  minor's health or
safety, and the court enters an order  | 
| 14 |  |  that such
parent, guardian or legal custodian is fit to  | 
| 15 |  |  care for the minor.
 | 
| 16 |  |   (b-1) A minor between the ages of 18 and 21 may be  | 
| 17 |  |  placed pursuant to Section 2-27 of this Act if (1) the  | 
| 18 |  |  court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate  | 
| 19 |  |  wardship of the minor pursuant to subsection (2) of Section  | 
| 20 |  |  2-33, (2) the court has adjudicated the minor a ward of the  | 
| 21 |  |  court, permitted the minor to return home under an order of  | 
| 22 |  |  protection, and subsequently made a finding that it is in  | 
| 23 |  |  the minor's best interest to vacate the order of protection  | 
| 24 |  |  and commit the minor to the Department of Children and  | 
| 25 |  |  Family Services for care and service, or (3) the court  | 
| 26 |  |  returned the minor to the custody of the respondent under  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 42 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  Section 2-4b of this Act without terminating the  | 
| 2 |  |  proceedings under Section 2-31 of this Act, and  | 
| 3 |  |  subsequently made a finding that it is in the minor's best  | 
| 4 |  |  interest to commit the minor to the Department of Children  | 
| 5 |  |  and Family Services for care and services. | 
| 6 |  |   (c) When the court awards guardianship to the  | 
| 7 |  |  Department of Children and
Family Services, the court shall  | 
| 8 |  |  order the parents to cooperate with the
Department of  | 
| 9 |  |  Children and Family Services, comply with the terms of the
 | 
| 10 |  |  service plans, and correct the conditions that require the  | 
| 11 |  |  child to be in care,
or risk termination of their parental  | 
| 12 |  |  rights.
 | 
| 13 |  |  (2) Any order of disposition may provide for protective  | 
| 14 |  | supervision
under Section 2-24 and may include an order of  | 
| 15 |  | protection under Section 2-25.
 | 
| 16 |  |  Unless the order of disposition expressly so provides, it  | 
| 17 |  | does
not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,  | 
| 18 |  | but is subject
to modification, not inconsistent with Section  | 
| 19 |  | 2-28, until final closing and discharge of the proceedings  | 
| 20 |  | under
Section 2-31.
 | 
| 21 |  |  (3) The court also shall enter any other orders necessary  | 
| 22 |  | to fulfill the
service plan, including, but not limited to, (i)  | 
| 23 |  | orders requiring parties to
cooperate with services, (ii)  | 
| 24 |  | restraining orders controlling the conduct of any
party likely  | 
| 25 |  | to frustrate the achievement of the goal, and (iii) visiting
 | 
| 26 |  | orders. When the child is placed separately from a sibling, the
 | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 43 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | court shall review the Sibling Contact Support Plan developed  | 
| 2 |  | under subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of the Children and Family  | 
| 3 |  | Services Act, if applicable. If the Department has not convened  | 
| 4 |  | a meeting to develop a Sibling
Contact Support Plan, or if the  | 
| 5 |  | court finds that the existing Plan is not in the child's best
 | 
| 6 |  | interest, the court may enter an order requiring the Department  | 
| 7 |  | to develop and implement
a Sibling Contact Support Plan under  | 
| 8 |  | subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of the Children and Family  | 
| 9 |  | Services Act or order mediation. Unless otherwise specifically  | 
| 10 |  | authorized by law, the court is not
empowered under this  | 
| 11 |  | subsection (3) to order specific placements, specific
 | 
| 12 |  | services, or specific service
providers to be included in the  | 
| 13 |  | plan. If, after receiving evidence, the court determines that  | 
| 14 |  | the services contained in the plan are not reasonably  | 
| 15 |  | calculated to facilitate achievement of the permanency goal,  | 
| 16 |  | the court shall put in writing the factual basis supporting the  | 
| 17 |  | determination and enter specific findings based on the  | 
| 18 |  | evidence. The court also shall enter an order for the  | 
| 19 |  | Department to develop and implement a new service plan or to  | 
| 20 |  | implement changes to the current service plan consistent with  | 
| 21 |  | the court's findings. The new service plan shall be filed with  | 
| 22 |  | the court and served on all parties within 45 days after the  | 
| 23 |  | date of the order. The court shall continue the matter until  | 
| 24 |  | the new service plan is filed. Except as authorized by  | 
| 25 |  | subsection (3.5) of this Section or authorized by law, the  | 
| 26 |  | court is not empowered under this Section to order specific  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 44 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | placements, specific services, or specific service providers  | 
| 2 |  | to be included in the service plan.
 | 
| 3 |  |  (3.5) If, after reviewing the evidence, including evidence  | 
| 4 |  | from the Department, the court determines that the minor's  | 
| 5 |  | current or planned placement is not necessary or appropriate to  | 
| 6 |  | facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall  | 
| 7 |  | put in writing the factual basis supporting its determination  | 
| 8 |  | and enter specific findings based on the evidence. If the court  | 
| 9 |  | finds that the minor's current or planned placement is not  | 
| 10 |  | necessary or appropriate, the court may enter an order  | 
| 11 |  | directing the Department to implement a recommendation by the  | 
| 12 |  | minor's treating clinician or a clinician contracted by the  | 
| 13 |  | Department to evaluate the minor or a recommendation made by  | 
| 14 |  | the Department. If the Department places a minor in a placement  | 
| 15 |  | under an order entered under this subsection (3.5), the  | 
| 16 |  | Department has the authority to remove the minor from that  | 
| 17 |  | placement when a change in circumstances necessitates the  | 
| 18 |  | removal to protect the minor's health, safety, and best  | 
| 19 |  | interest. If the Department determines removal is necessary,  | 
| 20 |  | the Department shall notify the parties of the planned  | 
| 21 |  | placement change in writing no later than 10 days prior to the  | 
| 22 |  | implementation of its determination unless remaining in the  | 
| 23 |  | placement poses an imminent risk of harm to the minor, in which  | 
| 24 |  | case the Department shall notify the parties of the placement  | 
| 25 |  | change in writing immediately following the implementation of  | 
| 26 |  | its decision. The Department shall notify others of the  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 45 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | decision to change the minor's placement as required by  | 
| 2 |  | Department rule.  | 
| 3 |  |  (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the  | 
| 4 |  | court may order
any minor adjudicated neglected with respect to  | 
| 5 |  | his or her own injurious
behavior to make restitution, in  | 
| 6 |  | monetary or non-monetary form, under the
terms and conditions  | 
| 7 |  | of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
except  | 
| 8 |  | that the "presentence hearing" referred to therein shall be the
 | 
| 9 |  | dispositional hearing for purposes of this Section. The parent,  | 
| 10 |  | guardian
or legal custodian of the minor may pay some or all of  | 
| 11 |  | such restitution on
the minor's behalf.
 | 
| 12 |  |  (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is committed  | 
| 13 |  | or placed in
accordance with Section 2-27 shall provide for the  | 
| 14 |  | parents or guardian of
the estate of such minor to pay to the  | 
| 15 |  | legal custodian or guardian of the
person of the minor such  | 
| 16 |  | sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian
of the  | 
| 17 |  | person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. Such  | 
| 18 |  | payments
may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by  | 
| 19 |  | Section 9.1 of the
Children and Family Services Act.
 | 
| 20 |  |  (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor to  | 
| 21 |  | attend
school or participate in a program of training, the  | 
| 22 |  | truant officer or
designated school official shall regularly  | 
| 23 |  | report to the court if the minor
is a chronic or habitual  | 
| 24 |  | truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
 | 
| 25 |  |  (7) The court may terminate the parental rights of a parent  | 
| 26 |  | at the initial
dispositional hearing if all of the conditions  |

interest of the minor will be  | 
| 12 |  | jeopardized if the minor remains in the custody
of his or her  | 
| 13 |  | parents, guardian or
custodian, the court may at this hearing  |

Services, place the minor in the subsidized  |

home and adoption have been  |

| 7 |  |  whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to  | 
| 8 |  |  reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section  | 
| 9 |  |  2-33 of this Act. An independent basis exists when the  | 
| 10 |  |  allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or  | 
| 11 |  |  dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or  | 
| 12 |  |  circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication  | 
| 13 |  |  of delinquency. The
Department shall be given due notice of  | 
| 14 |  |  the pendency of the action and the
Guardianship  | 
| 15 |  |  Administrator of the Department of Children and Family  | 
| 16 |  |  Services
shall be appointed guardian of the person of the  | 
| 17 |  |  minor. Whenever the Department
seeks to discharge a minor  | 
| 18 |  |  from its care and service, the Guardianship
Administrator  | 
| 19 |  |  shall petition the court for an
order terminating  | 
| 20 |  |  guardianship. The Guardianship Administrator may
designate  | 
| 21 |  |  one or more other officers of the Department, appointed as
 | 
| 22 |  |  Department officers by administrative order of the  | 
| 23 |  |  Department Director,
authorized to affix the signature of  | 
| 24 |  |  the Guardianship Administrator to
documents affecting the  | 
| 25 |  |  guardian-ward relationship of children for whom
he or she  | 
| 26 |  |  has been appointed guardian at such times as he or she is  |

| 1 |  |  unable to
perform
the duties of his or her office. The  | 
| 2 |  |  signature authorization shall include but
not be limited to  | 
| 3 |  |  matters of consent of marriage, enlistment in the
armed  | 
| 4 |  |  forces, legal proceedings, adoption, major medical and  | 
| 5 |  |  surgical
treatment and application for driver's license.  | 
| 6 |  |  Signature authorizations
made pursuant to the provisions  | 
| 7 |  |  of this paragraph shall be filed with
the Secretary of  | 
| 8 |  |  State and the Secretary of State shall provide upon
payment  | 
| 9 |  |  of the customary fee, certified copies of the authorization  | 
| 10 |  |  to
any court or individual who requests a copy.
 | 
| 11 |  |  (1.5) In making a determination under this Section, the  | 
| 12 |  | court shall also
consider
whether, based on health, safety, and  | 
| 13 |  | the best interests of the minor,
 | 
| 14 |  |   (a) appropriate services aimed
at family preservation  | 
| 15 |  |  and family reunification have been unsuccessful in
 | 
| 16 |  |  rectifying the conditions that have led to a finding of  | 
| 17 |  |  unfitness or inability
to care for, protect, train, or  | 
| 18 |  |  discipline the minor, or
 | 
| 19 |  |   (b) no family preservation or family reunification
 | 
| 20 |  |  services would be appropriate,
 | 
| 21 |  | and if the petition or amended petition
contained an allegation  | 
| 22 |  | that the
parent is an unfit
person as defined in subdivision  | 
| 23 |  | (D) of Section 1 of the Adoption Act, and the
order of
 | 
| 24 |  | adjudication
recites that parental unfitness was established  | 
| 25 |  | by clear and convincing
evidence, the court
shall, when  | 
| 26 |  | appropriate and in the best interest of the minor, enter an
 | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 50 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | order terminating parental rights and
appointing a guardian  | 
| 2 |  | with
power to
consent to adoption in accordance with Section  | 
| 3 |  | 2-29.
 | 
| 4 |  |  When making a placement, the court, wherever possible,  | 
| 5 |  | shall
require the Department of Children and Family Services to  | 
| 6 |  | select a person
holding the same religious belief as that of  | 
| 7 |  | the minor or a private agency
controlled by persons of like  | 
| 8 |  | religious faith of the minor and shall require
the Department  | 
| 9 |  | to otherwise comply with Section 7 of the Children and Family
 | 
| 10 |  | Services Act in placing the child. In addition, whenever  | 
| 11 |  | alternative plans for
placement are available, the court shall  | 
| 12 |  | ascertain and consider, to the extent
appropriate in the  | 
| 13 |  | particular case, the views and preferences of the minor.
 | 
| 14 |  |  (2) When a minor is placed with a suitable relative or  | 
| 15 |  | other
person pursuant to item (a) of subsection (1),
the court  | 
| 16 |  | shall appoint him or her the legal custodian or guardian of the
 | 
| 17 |  | person of the minor. When a minor is committed to any agency,  | 
| 18 |  | the court
shall appoint the proper officer or representative  | 
| 19 |  | thereof as legal
custodian or guardian of the person of the  | 
| 20 |  | minor. Legal custodians and
guardians of the person of the  | 
| 21 |  | minor have the respective rights and duties set
forth in  | 
| 22 |  | subsection (9) of Section 1-3 except as otherwise provided by  | 
| 23 |  | order
of court; but no guardian of the person may consent to  | 
| 24 |  | adoption of the
minor unless that authority is conferred upon  | 
| 25 |  | him or her in accordance with
Section 2-29. An agency whose  | 
| 26 |  | representative is appointed guardian of the
person or legal  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 51 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | custodian of the minor may place the minor in any child care
 | 
| 2 |  | facility, but the facility must be licensed under the Child  | 
| 3 |  | Care Act of
1969 or have been approved by the Department of  | 
| 4 |  | Children and Family Services
as meeting the standards  | 
| 5 |  | established for such licensing. No agency may
place a minor  | 
| 6 |  | adjudicated under Sections 2-3 or 2-4 in a child care facility
 | 
| 7 |  | unless the placement is in compliance with the rules and  | 
| 8 |  | regulations
for placement under this Section promulgated by the  | 
| 9 |  | Department of Children
and Family Services under Section 5 of  | 
| 10 |  | the Children and Family Services
Act. Like authority and  | 
| 11 |  | restrictions shall be conferred by the court upon
any probation  | 
| 12 |  | officer who has been appointed guardian of the person of a  | 
| 13 |  | minor.
 | 
| 14 |  |  (3) No placement by any probation officer or agency whose  | 
| 15 |  | representative
is appointed guardian of the person or legal  | 
| 16 |  | custodian of a minor may be
made in any out of State child care  | 
| 17 |  | facility unless it complies with the
Interstate Compact on the  | 
| 18 |  | Placement of Children. Placement with a parent,
however, is not  | 
| 19 |  | subject to that Interstate Compact.
 | 
| 20 |  |  (4) The clerk of the court shall issue to the legal  | 
| 21 |  | custodian or
guardian of the person a certified copy of the  | 
| 22 |  | order of court, as proof
of his authority. No other process is  | 
| 23 |  | necessary as authority for the
keeping of the minor.
 | 
| 24 |  |  (5) Custody or guardianship granted under this Section  | 
| 25 |  | continues until
the court otherwise directs, but not after the  | 
| 26 |  | minor reaches the age
of 19 years except as set forth in  |

 | 
| 8 |  |  Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders. 
 | 
| 9 |  |  (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in  | 
| 10 |  | respect of
wards of the court:
 | 
| 11 |  |   (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, and  | 
| 12 |  |  5-815, a minor who is
found
guilty under Section 5-620 may  | 
| 13 |  |  be:
 | 
| 14 |  |    (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and  | 
| 15 |  |  released to his or her
parents, guardian or legal  | 
| 16 |  |  custodian, provided, however, that any such minor
who  | 
| 17 |  |  is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice  | 
| 18 |  |  under
this subsection and who is found to be a  | 
| 19 |  |  delinquent for an offense which is
first degree murder,  | 
| 20 |  |  a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed  | 
| 21 |  |  on
probation;
 | 
| 22 |  |    (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with  | 
| 23 |  |  or without also being
put on probation or conditional  | 
| 24 |  |  discharge;
 | 
| 25 |  |    (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 53 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  assessment conducted by a
licensed provider and  | 
| 2 |  |  participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
 | 
| 3 |  |    (iv) on and after the effective date of this  | 
| 4 |  |  amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and before  | 
| 5 |  |  January 1, 2017, placed in the guardianship of the  | 
| 6 |  |  Department of Children and Family
Services, but only if  | 
| 7 |  |  the delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or,  | 
| 8 |  |  pursuant to Article II of this Act, a minor under the  | 
| 9 |  |  age of 18 for whom an independent basis of abuse,  | 
| 10 |  |  neglect, or dependency exists. On and after January 1,  | 
| 11 |  |  2017, placed in the guardianship of the Department of  | 
| 12 |  |  Children and Family
Services, but only if the  | 
| 13 |  |  delinquent minor is under 15 years of age or, pursuant  | 
| 14 |  |  to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an  | 
| 15 |  |  independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency  | 
| 16 |  |  exists. An independent basis exists when the  | 
| 17 |  |  allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or  | 
| 18 |  |  dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,  | 
| 19 |  |  or circumstances which give rise to a charge or  | 
| 20 |  |  adjudication of delinquency;
 | 
| 21 |  |    (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed  | 
| 22 |  |  30 days, either as
the
exclusive order of disposition  | 
| 23 |  |  or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any
other  | 
| 24 |  |  order of disposition issued under this paragraph,  | 
| 25 |  |  provided that any such
detention shall be in a juvenile  | 
| 26 |  |  detention home and the minor so detained shall
be 10  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 54 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation  | 
| 2 |  |  may be extended by
further order of the court for a  | 
| 3 |  |  minor under age 15 committed to the Department
of  | 
| 4 |  |  Children and Family Services if the court finds that  | 
| 5 |  |  the minor is a danger
to himself or others. The minor  | 
| 6 |  |  shall be given credit on the sentencing order
of  | 
| 7 |  |  detention for time spent in detention under Sections  | 
| 8 |  |  5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or
5-720 of this
Article as a  | 
| 9 |  |  result of the offense for which the sentencing order  | 
| 10 |  |  was imposed.
The court may grant credit on a sentencing  | 
| 11 |  |  order of detention entered under a
violation of  | 
| 12 |  |  probation or violation of conditional discharge under  | 
| 13 |  |  Section
5-720 of this Article for time spent in  | 
| 14 |  |  detention before the filing of the
petition
alleging  | 
| 15 |  |  the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit  | 
| 16 |  |  for time spent
in detention before the filing of a  | 
| 17 |  |  violation of probation or conditional
discharge  | 
| 18 |  |  alleging the same or related act or acts. The  | 
| 19 |  |  limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a  | 
| 20 |  |  juvenile detention home does not apply as follows: | 
| 21 |  |    Persons 18 years of age and older who have a  | 
| 22 |  |  petition of delinquency filed against them may be  | 
| 23 |  |  confined in an adult detention facility. In making a  | 
| 24 |  |  determination whether to confine a person 18 years of  | 
| 25 |  |  age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed  | 
| 26 |  |  against the person, these factors, among other  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 55 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  matters, shall be considered: | 
| 2 |  |     (A) the age of the person; | 
| 3 |  |     (B) any previous delinquent or criminal  | 
| 4 |  |  history of the person; | 
| 5 |  |     (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of  | 
| 6 |  |  the person; | 
| 7 |  |     (D) any mental health history of the person;  | 
| 8 |  |  and | 
| 9 |  |     (E) any educational history of the person;
 | 
| 10 |  |    (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated  | 
| 11 |  |  in accordance with the
provisions of the Emancipation  | 
| 12 |  |  of Minors Act;
 | 
| 13 |  |    (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license  | 
| 14 |  |  or driving
privileges
suspended for such time as  | 
| 15 |  |  determined by the court but only until he or she
 | 
| 16 |  |  attains 18 years of age;
 | 
| 17 |  |    (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge  | 
| 18 |  |  and placed in detention
under Section 3-6039 of the  | 
| 19 |  |  Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period
of  | 
| 20 |  |  incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty  | 
| 21 |  |  of the same offense
or offenses for which the minor was  | 
| 22 |  |  adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no
longer than  | 
| 23 |  |  upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)  | 
| 24 |  |  notwithstanding
any contrary provision of the law; 
 | 
| 25 |  |    (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other  | 
| 26 |  |  procedure to have a tattoo
symbolizing allegiance to a  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 56 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  street gang removed from his or her body; or | 
| 2 |  |    (x) placed in electronic monitoring or home  | 
| 3 |  |  detention under Part 7A of this Article.
 | 
| 4 |  |   (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the  | 
| 5 |  |  Department of
Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the  | 
| 6 |  |  minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
 | 
| 7 |  |  provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile  | 
| 8 |  |  Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of  | 
| 9 |  |  a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall  | 
| 10 |  |  include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the  | 
| 11 |  |  minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified  | 
| 12 |  |  Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in  | 
| 13 |  |  custody before being released
upon the request of a parent,  | 
| 14 |  |  guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered
as  | 
| 15 |  |  time spent in custody.
 | 
| 16 |  |   (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense  | 
| 17 |  |  which is a violation
of the Illinois Controlled Substances  | 
| 18 |  |  Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine  | 
| 19 |  |  Control and Community Protection Act and made
a ward of the  | 
| 20 |  |  court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring  | 
| 21 |  |  the
minor to undergo assessment,
counseling or treatment in  | 
| 22 |  |  a substance use disorder treatment program approved by the  | 
| 23 |  |  Department
of Human Services.
 | 
| 24 |  |  (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the  | 
| 25 |  | Department of
Juvenile Justice may provide for protective  | 
| 26 |  | supervision under
Section 5-725 and may include an order of  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 57 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | protection under Section 5-730.
 | 
| 2 |  |  (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it  | 
| 3 |  | does not operate
to close proceedings on the pending petition,  | 
| 4 |  | but is subject to modification
until final closing and  | 
| 5 |  | discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
 | 
| 6 |  |  (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order  | 
| 7 |  | any
minor
found to be delinquent to make restitution, in  | 
| 8 |  | monetary or non-monetary form,
under the terms and conditions  | 
| 9 |  | of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, except  | 
| 10 |  | that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that
Section
 | 
| 11 |  | shall be
the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.  | 
| 12 |  | The parent, guardian or
legal custodian of the minor may be  | 
| 13 |  | ordered by the court to pay some or all of
the restitution on  | 
| 14 |  | the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
 | 
| 15 |  | Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act
on behalf of any  | 
| 16 |  | victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
 | 
| 17 |  | Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the  | 
| 18 |  | Parental
Responsibility Law.
 | 
| 19 |  |  (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or  | 
| 20 |  | placed in
accordance
with Section 5-740 shall provide for the  | 
| 21 |  | parents or guardian of the estate of
the minor to pay to the  | 
| 22 |  | legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor
such  | 
| 23 |  | sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the  | 
| 24 |  | person of the
minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The  | 
| 25 |  | payments may not exceed the
maximum amounts provided for by  | 
| 26 |  | Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services
Act.
 | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 58 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |  (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to  | 
| 2 |  | attend school or
participate in a program of training, the  | 
| 3 |  | truant officer or designated school
official shall regularly  | 
| 4 |  | report to the court if the minor is a chronic or
habitual  | 
| 5 |  | truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding  | 
| 6 |  | any other provision of this Act, in instances in which  | 
| 7 |  | educational services are to be provided to a minor in a  | 
| 8 |  | residential facility where the minor has been placed by the  | 
| 9 |  | court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational  | 
| 10 |  | services must be allocated based on the requirements of the  | 
| 11 |  | School Code. 
 | 
| 12 |  |  (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the  | 
| 13 |  | Department of
Juvenile Justice for a period of time in
excess  | 
| 14 |  | of
that period for which an adult could be committed for the  | 
| 15 |  | same act. The court shall include in the sentencing order a  | 
| 16 |  | limitation on the period of confinement not to exceed the  | 
| 17 |  | maximum period of imprisonment the court could impose under  | 
| 18 |  | Article V of the Unified Code of Corrections. 
 | 
| 19 |  |  (7.5) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the  | 
| 20 |  | Department of Juvenile Justice or placed in detention when the  | 
| 21 |  | act for which the minor was adjudicated delinquent would not be  | 
| 22 |  | illegal if committed by an adult.  | 
| 23 |  |  (7.6) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the  | 
| 24 |  | Department of Juvenile Justice for an offense which is a Class  | 
| 25 |  | 4 felony under Section 19-4 (criminal trespass to a residence),  | 
| 26 |  | 21-1 (criminal damage to property), 21-1.01 (criminal damage to  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 59 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | government supported property), 21-1.3 (criminal defacement of  | 
| 2 |  | property), 26-1 (disorderly conduct), or 31-4 (obstructing  | 
| 3 |  | justice) of the Criminal Code of 2012.  | 
| 4 |  |  (7.75) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the  | 
| 5 |  | Department of Juvenile Justice for an offense that is a Class 3  | 
| 6 |  | or Class 4 felony violation of the Illinois Controlled  | 
| 7 |  | Substances Act unless the commitment occurs upon a third or  | 
| 8 |  | subsequent judicial finding of a violation of probation for  | 
| 9 |  | substantial noncompliance with court-ordered treatment or  | 
| 10 |  | programming. | 
| 11 |  |  (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a  | 
| 12 |  | violation of
Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the  | 
| 13 |  | Criminal Code of 2012 shall be ordered to perform
community  | 
| 14 |  | service for not less than 30 and not more than 120 hours, if
 | 
| 15 |  | community service is available in the jurisdiction. The  | 
| 16 |  | community service
shall include, but need not be limited to,  | 
| 17 |  | the cleanup and repair of the damage
that was caused by the  | 
| 18 |  | violation or similar damage to property located in the
 | 
| 19 |  | municipality or county in which the violation occurred. The  | 
| 20 |  | order may be in
addition to any other order authorized by this  | 
| 21 |  | Section.
 | 
| 22 |  |  (8.5) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a  | 
| 23 |  | violation of
Section
3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care  | 
| 24 |  | for Animals Act or paragraph (d) of
subsection (1) of
Section  | 
| 25 |  | 21-1 of
the Criminal Code
of
1961 or paragraph (4) of  | 
| 26 |  | subsection (a) of Section 21-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012  |

 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 60 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | shall be ordered to undergo medical or psychiatric treatment  | 
| 2 |  | rendered by
a
psychiatrist or psychological treatment rendered  | 
| 3 |  | by a clinical psychologist.
The order
may be in addition to any  | 
| 4 |  | other order authorized by this Section.
 | 
| 5 |  |  (9) In addition to any other sentencing order, the court  | 
| 6 |  | shall order any
minor found
to be guilty for an act which would  | 
| 7 |  | constitute, predatory criminal sexual
assault of a child,  | 
| 8 |  | aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault,  | 
| 9 |  | aggravated criminal sexual abuse, or criminal sexual abuse if
 | 
| 10 |  | committed by an
adult to undergo medical testing to determine  | 
| 11 |  | whether the defendant has any
sexually transmissible disease  | 
| 12 |  | including a test for infection with human
immunodeficiency  | 
| 13 |  | virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
 | 
| 14 |  | acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test  | 
| 15 |  | shall be performed
only by appropriately licensed medical  | 
| 16 |  | practitioners and may include an
analysis of any bodily fluids  | 
| 17 |  | as well as an examination of the minor's person.
Except as  | 
| 18 |  | otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be  | 
| 19 |  | kept
strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in  | 
| 20 |  | the testing and must
be personally delivered in a sealed  | 
| 21 |  | envelope to the judge of the court in which
the sentencing  | 
| 22 |  | order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
 | 
| 23 |  | in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the  | 
| 24 |  | public, the judge
shall have the discretion to determine to  | 
| 25 |  | whom the results of the testing may
be revealed. The court  | 
| 26 |  | shall notify the minor of the results of the test for
infection  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 61 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall  | 
| 2 |  | also
notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the  | 
| 3 |  | victim is under the
age of 15 and if requested by the victim's  | 
| 4 |  | parents or legal guardian, the court
shall notify the victim's  | 
| 5 |  | parents or the legal guardian, of the results of the
test for  | 
| 6 |  | infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The  | 
| 7 |  | court
shall provide information on the availability of HIV  | 
| 8 |  | testing and counseling at
the Department of Public Health  | 
| 9 |  | facilities to all parties to whom the
results of the testing  | 
| 10 |  | are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of
any test  | 
| 11 |  | shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against  | 
| 12 |  | the
minor.
 | 
| 13 |  |  (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court  | 
| 14 |  | shall, before
entering a sentencing order under this Section,  | 
| 15 |  | make a finding whether the
offense committed either: (a) was  | 
| 16 |  | related to or in furtherance of the criminal
activities of an  | 
| 17 |  | organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in
or  | 
| 18 |  | allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
 | 
| 19 |  | subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961  | 
| 20 |  | or the Criminal Code of 2012, a violation of
any
Section of  | 
| 21 |  | Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of  | 
| 22 |  | 2012, or a violation of any
statute that involved the wrongful  | 
| 23 |  | use of a firearm. If the court determines
the question in the  | 
| 24 |  | affirmative,
and the court does not commit the minor to the  | 
| 25 |  | Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the minor  | 
| 26 |  | to perform community service
for not less than 30 hours nor  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 62 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | more than 120 hours, provided that community
service is  | 
| 2 |  | available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
 | 
| 3 |  | county board of the county where the offense was committed. The  | 
| 4 |  | community
service shall include, but need not be limited to,  | 
| 5 |  | the cleanup and repair of
any damage caused by a violation of  | 
| 6 |  | Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal  | 
| 7 |  | Code of 2012
and similar damage to property located in the  | 
| 8 |  | municipality or county in which
the violation occurred. When  | 
| 9 |  | possible and reasonable, the community service
shall be  | 
| 10 |  | performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
 | 
| 11 |  | addition to any other order authorized by this Section
except  | 
| 12 |  | for an order to place the minor in the custody of the  | 
| 13 |  | Department of
Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this  | 
| 14 |  | Section, "organized
gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in  | 
| 15 |  | Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus  | 
| 16 |  | Prevention Act.
 | 
| 17 |  |  (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed  | 
| 18 |  | in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,  | 
| 19 |  | as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved  | 
| 20 |  | the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a  | 
| 21 |  | driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the  | 
| 22 |  | Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for  | 
| 23 |  | which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the  | 
| 24 |  | time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's  | 
| 25 |  | license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall  | 
| 26 |  | not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 63 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | 18th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit  | 
| 2 |  | at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that  | 
| 3 |  | the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until  | 
| 4 |  | his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence  | 
| 5 |  | determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license  | 
| 6 |  | at the time of the determination, the court may direct the  | 
| 7 |  | Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving  | 
| 8 |  | permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the  | 
| 9 |  | same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the  | 
| 10 |  | Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that  | 
| 11 |  | the JDP be effective immediately.
 | 
| 12 |  |  (12) If a minor is found to be guilty of a violation of
 | 
| 13 |  | subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use  | 
| 14 |  | by Minors Act, the
court may, in its discretion, and upon
 | 
| 15 |  | recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and  | 
| 16 |  | his or her parents
or legal
guardian to attend a smoker's  | 
| 17 |  | education or youth diversion program as defined
in that Act if  | 
| 18 |  | that
program is available in the jurisdiction where the  | 
| 19 |  | offender resides.
Attendance at a smoker's education or youth  | 
| 20 |  | diversion program
shall be time-credited against any community  | 
| 21 |  | service time imposed for any
first violation of subsection  | 
| 22 |  | (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any
other
 | 
| 23 |  | penalty
that the court may impose for a violation of subsection  | 
| 24 |  | (a-7) of Section 1 of
that Act, the
court, upon request by the  | 
| 25 |  | State's Attorney, may in its discretion
require
the offender to  | 
| 26 |  | remit a fee for his or her attendance at a smoker's
education  | 
     | 
 |  | SB1116 Engrossed | - 64 - | LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | or
youth diversion program.
 | 
| 2 |  |  For purposes of this Section, "smoker's education program"  | 
| 3 |  | or "youth
diversion program" includes, but is not limited to, a  | 
| 4 |  | seminar designed to
educate a person on the physical and  | 
| 5 |  | psychological effects of smoking tobacco
products and the  | 
| 6 |  | health consequences of smoking tobacco products that can be
 | 
| 7 |  | conducted with a locality's youth diversion program.
 | 
| 8 |  |  In addition to any other penalty that the court may impose  | 
| 9 |  | under this
subsection
(12):
 | 
| 10 |  |   (a) If a minor violates subsection (a-7) of Section 1  | 
| 11 |  |  of the Prevention of
Tobacco Use by Minors Act, the court  | 
| 12 |  |  may
impose a sentence of 15 hours of
community service or a  | 
| 13 |  |  fine of $25 for a first violation.
 | 
| 14 |  |   (b) A second violation by a minor of subsection (a-7)  | 
| 15 |  |  of Section 1 of that Act
that occurs
within 12 months after  | 
| 16 |  |  the first violation is punishable by a fine of $50 and
25
 | 
| 17 |  |  hours of community service.
 | 
| 18 |  |   (c) A third or subsequent violation by a minor of  | 
| 19 |  |  subsection (a-7) of Section
1 of that Act
that
occurs  | 
| 20 |  |  within 12 months after the first violation is punishable by  | 
| 21 |  |  a $100
fine
and 30 hours of community service.
 | 
| 22 |  |   (d) Any second or subsequent violation not within the  | 
| 23 |  |  12-month time period
after the first violation is  | 
| 24 |  |  punishable as provided for a first violation.
