17 (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this Section,
18when any delinquent has been adjudged a ward of the court under
19this Act, the court may commit him or her to the Department of
20Juvenile Justice, if it finds that (a) his or her parents,
21guardian or legal custodian are unfit or are unable, for some
22reason other than financial circumstances alone, to care for,
23protect, train or discipline the minor, or are unwilling to do
24so, and the best interests of the minor and the public will not
25be served by placement under Section 5-740, or it is necessary

SB2361- 14 -LRB103 28331 RLC 54710 b
1to ensure the protection of the public from the consequences
2of criminal activity of the delinquent; and (b) commitment to
3the Department of Juvenile Justice is the least restrictive
4alternative based on evidence that efforts were made to locate
5less restrictive alternatives to secure confinement and the
6reasons why efforts were unsuccessful in locating a less
7restrictive alternative to secure confinement. Before the
8court commits a minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice,
9it shall make a finding that secure confinement is necessary,
10following a review of the following individualized factors:
11 (A) Age of the minor.
12 (B) Criminal background of the minor.
13 (C) Review of results of any assessments of the minor,
14 including child centered assessments such as the CANS.

17 disability, and if so what services were provided as well
18 as any disciplinary incidents at school.
19 (E) Physical, mental and emotional health of the
20 minor, indicating whether the minor has ever been
21 diagnosed with a health issue and if so what services were
22 provided and whether the minor was compliant with
23 services.

25 to the minor, and whether the minor was compliant with the
26 services, and the reason the services were unsuccessful.

SB2361- 15 -LRB103 28331 RLC 54710 b
1 (G) Services within the Department of Juvenile Justice
2 that will meet the individualized needs of the minor.
3 (1.5) Before the court commits a minor to the Department
4of Juvenile Justice, the court must find reasonable efforts
5have been made to prevent or eliminate the need for the minor
6to be removed from the home, or reasonable efforts cannot, at
7this time, for good cause, prevent or eliminate the need for
8removal, and removal from home is in the best interests of the
9minor, the minor's family, and the public.
10 (2) When a minor of the age of at least 13 years is
11adjudged delinquent for the offense of first degree murder,

17committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice, except that
18the time that a minor spent in custody for the instant offense
19before being committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
20shall be considered as time credited towards that 5 year
21period. Upon release from a Department facility, a minor
22adjudged delinquent for first degree murder shall be placed on
23aftercare release until the age of 21, unless sooner
24discharged from aftercare release or custodianship is
25otherwise terminated in accordance with this Act or as

7upon the delinquent attaining the age of 21 years or upon
8completion of that period for which an adult could be
9committed for the same act, whichever occurs sooner, unless
10the delinquent is sooner discharged from aftercare release or
11custodianship is otherwise terminated in accordance with this
12Act or as otherwise provided for by law.

18must successfully complete a rehabilitation program
19established by the Department. The failure of the minor to
20successfully complete the program shall result in the minor

24of Juvenile Justice under this Act shall be eligible for
