HB3208- 18 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 notices and complaints of violations to law
2 enforcement officials, including, without limitation,
3 the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
4 of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
5 (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
6 alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct alcohol
7 compliance operations to investigate whether businesses
8 that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine from inside
9 or outside of this State directly to residents of this
10 State are licensed by this State or are selling or
11 attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
12 violation of this Act.
13 (16) The Commission shall, in addition to notifying any
14 appropriate law enforcement agency, submit notices of
15 complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and 6-29.1 by
16 persons who do not hold a winery shipper's license under
17 this amendatory Act to the Illinois Attorney General and to
18 the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
19 and Trade Bureau.
20 (17) (A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
21 of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
22 this amendatory Act and annually produces less than 25,000
23 gallons of wine or a person who has a first-class or
24 second-class wine manufacturer's license, a first-class or
25 second-class wine-maker's license, or a limited wine
26 manufacturer's license under this Act and annually

HB3208- 19 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine may make
2 application to the Commission for a self-distribution
3 exemption to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons
4 of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per
5 year.
6 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
7 penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the
8 date it was established; (2) its volume of production
9 and sales for each year since its establishment; (3)
10 its efforts to establish distributor relationships;
11 (4) that a self-distribution exemption is necessary to
12 facilitate the marketing of its wine; and (5) that it
13 will comply with the liquor and revenue laws of the
14 United States, this State, and any other state where it
15 is licensed.
16 (C) The Commission shall approve the application
17 for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1)
18 is in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws;
19 (2) is not a member of any affiliated group that
20 produces more than 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or
21 produces any other alcoholic liquor; (3) will not
22 annually produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of
23 wine; and (4) will not annually sell more than 5,000
24 gallons of its wine to retail licensees.
25 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
26 annually certify to the Commission its production of

HB3208- 20 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
2 production and sales for the next 12 months. The
3 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
4 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it
5 finds that the exemption holder has made a material
6 misrepresentation in its application, violated a
7 revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production
8 of 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or
9 become part of an affiliated group producing more than
10 25,000 gallons of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
11 (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act
12 or Public Act 95-634 amendatory Act or a bona fide
13 investigation by duly sworn law enforcement officials,
14 the Commission, or its agents, the Commission shall
15 maintain the production and sales information of a
16 self-distribution exemption holder as confidential and
17 shall not release such information to any person.
18 (F) The Commission shall issue regulations
19 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
20 this Section and this Act.
21 (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit
22 a self-distribution exemption holder from entering
23 into or simultaneously having a distribution agreement
24 with a licensed Illinois distributor.
25 (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to
26 promote and continue orderly markets. The General

HB3208- 21 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
2 regulatory distribution system it is necessary to
3 create an exception for smaller makers of wine as their
4 wines are frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes,
5 vintages, and taste to find and create market niches
6 sometimes too small for distributor or importing
7 distributor business strategies. Limited
8 self-distribution rights will afford and allow smaller
9 makers of wine access to the marketplace in order to
10 develop a customer base without impairing the
11 integrity of the 3-tier system.
12 (18) (A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
13 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
14 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,
15 may make application to the State Commission for a
16 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
17 than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer to
18 retail licensees per year.
19 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
20 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall
21 state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume
22 of beer manufactured and sold for each year since its
23 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish
24 distributor relationships; (4) that a
25 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate
26 the marketing of its beer; and (5) that it will comply

HB3208- 22 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 with the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the
2 United States, this State, and any other state where it
3 is licensed.
4 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on
5 the State Commission's website at least 45 days prior
6 to action by the State Commission. The State Commission
7 shall approve the application for a self-distribution
8 exemption if the class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in
9 compliance with the State, revenue, and alcoholic
10 beverage laws; (2) is not a member of any affiliated
11 group that manufactures manufacturers more than
12 930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
13 alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually
14 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer;
15 (4) shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons
16 of its beer to retail licensees; and (5) has
17 relinquished any brew pub license held by the licensee,
18 including any ownership interest it held in the
19 licensed brew pub.
20 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
21 annually certify to the State Commission its
22 manufacture of beer during the previous 12 months and
23 its anticipated manufacture and sales of beer for the
24 next 12 months. The State Commission may fine, suspend,
25 or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a
26 hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made

HB3208- 23 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 a material misrepresentation in its application,
2 violated a revenue or alcoholic beverage law of
3 Illinois, exceeded the manufacture of 930,000 gallons
4 of beer in any calendar year or became part of an
5 affiliated group manufacturing more than 930,000
6 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic beverage.
7 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
8 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
9 consistent with this Act.
10 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
11 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into
12 or simultaneously having a distribution agreement with
13 a licensed Illinois importing distributor or a
14 distributor. If a self-distribution exemption holder
15 enters into a distribution agreement and has assigned
16 distribution rights to an importing distributor or
17 distributor, then the self-distribution exemption
18 holder's distribution rights in the assigned
19 territories shall cease in a reasonable time not to
20 exceed 60 days.
21 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to
22 promote and continue orderly markets. The General
23 Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
24 regulatory distribution system, it is necessary to
25 create an exception for smaller manufacturers in order
26 to afford and allow such smaller manufacturers of beer

HB3208- 24 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 access to the marketplace in order to develop a
2 customer base without impairing the integrity of the
3 3-tier system.
4 (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
5present a written report to the Governor and the General
6Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public
7Act 90-739 this amendatory Act of 1998 on the business of
8soliciting, selling, and shipping alcoholic liquor from
9outside of this State directly to residents of this State.
10 As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
11following information:
12 (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
13 generated as a result of Public Act 90-739 this amendatory
14 Act of 1998;
15 (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result
16 of Public Act 90-739 this amendatory Act of 1998;
17 (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of
18 cease and desist notices issued by the Commission, the
19 number of notices of violations issued to the Department of
20 Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
21 violations to law enforcement officials.

17Section shall be valid for a "sting operation" or enforcement
18action conducted within 60 days of the provision of that
19notice, unless the governing body of the municipality or county
20having jurisdiction sets a shorter period by ordinance.
21 (b) A local liquor control commission or unit of local
22government that conducts alcohol and tobacco compliance
23operations shall establish a policy and standards for alcohol

21a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII
22of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home
23rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
24 (f) A licensee who is the subject of an enforcement action
25or "sting operation" under this Section and is found, pursuant
26to the enforcement action, to be in compliance with this Act

HB3208- 27 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b

25subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any
26other penalty that the court may impose for a violation of

HB3208- 35 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon
2request by the State's Attorney, may in its discretion require
3the offender to remit a fee for his or her attendance at a
4smoker's education or youth diversion program.

5 Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders.
6 (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in
7respect of wards of the court:
8 (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, 5-815,
9 a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may be:
10 (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
11 released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
12 custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
13 is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
14 under this subsection and who is found to be a
15 delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
16 a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
17 on probation;
18 (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
19 or without also being put on probation or conditional
20 discharge;
21 (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse
22 assessment conducted by a licensed provider and
23 participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
24 (iv) on and after the effective date of this
25 amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and before

HB3208- 37 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 January 1, 2017, placed in the guardianship of the
2 Department of Children and Family Services, but only if
3 the delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or,
4 pursuant to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
5 independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
6 exists. On and after January 1, 2017, placed in the
7 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
8 Services, but only if the delinquent minor is under 15
9 years of age or, pursuant to Article II of this Act, a
10 minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect,
11 or dependency exists. An independent basis exists when
12 the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
13 dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
14 or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
15 adjudication of delinquency;
16 (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
17 30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
18 or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
19 order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
20 provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
21 detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
22 years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
23 may be extended by further order of the court for a
24 minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
25 Children and Family Services if the court finds that
26 the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor

HB3208- 38 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
2 detention for time spent in detention under Sections
3 5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
4 result of the offense for which the sentencing order
5 was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
6 order of detention entered under a violation of
7 probation or violation of conditional discharge under
8 Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
9 detention before the filing of the petition alleging
10 the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
11 for time spent in detention before the filing of a
12 violation of probation or conditional discharge
13 alleging the same or related act or acts. The
14 limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a
15 juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
16 Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
17 petition of delinquency filed against them may be
18 confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
19 determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
20 age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed
21 against the person, these factors, among other
22 matters, shall be considered:
23 (A) the age of the person;
24 (B) any previous delinquent or criminal
25 history of the person;
26 (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of

HB3208- 39 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 the person;
2 (D) any mental health history of the person;
3 and
4 (E) any educational history of the person;
5 (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
6 in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
7 of Minors Act;
8 (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
9 or driving privileges suspended for such time as
10 determined by the court but only until he or she
11 attains 18 years of age;
12 (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
13 and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
14 Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
15 incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
16 of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
17 adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
18 upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
19 notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law;
20 (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
21 procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a
22 street gang removed from his or her body; or
23 (x) placed in electronic home detention under Part
24 7A of this Article.
25 (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
26 Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the

HB3208- 40 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
2 provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
3 Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
4 a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
5 include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
6 minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified
7 Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in
8 custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
9 guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
10 time spent in custody.
11 (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
12 which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
13 Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
14 Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the
15 court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
16 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
17 a substance abuse program approved by the Department of
18 Human Services.
19 (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
20Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
21supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
22protection under Section 5-730.
23 (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
24does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
25but is subject to modification until final closing and
26discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.

HB3208- 41 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1 (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
2any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
3monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
4of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
5that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
6shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
7The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
8ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
9the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
10Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
11victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
12Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
13Parental Responsibility Law.
14 (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
15placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
16parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the
17legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
18sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
19person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. The
20payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
21Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
22 (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
23attend school or participate in a program of training, the
24truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
25report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
26truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding

HB3208- 42 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1any other provision of this Act, in instances in which
2educational services are to be provided to a minor in a
3residential facility where the minor has been placed by the
4court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational
5services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
6School Code.
7 (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
8Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
9of that period for which an adult could be committed for the
10same act. The court shall include in the sentencing order a
11limitation on the period of confinement not to exceed the
12maximum period of imprisonment the court could impose under
13Article V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
14 (7.5) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
15Department of Juvenile Justice or placed in detention when the
16act for which the minor was adjudicated delinquent would not be
17illegal if committed by an adult.

24justice), of the Criminal Code of 2012.
25 (7.75) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
26Department of Juvenile Justice for an offense that is a Class 3

HB3208- 43 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b

2Substances Act unless the commitment occurs upon a third or
3subsequent judicial finding of a violation of probation for
4substantial noncompliance with court-ordered court ordered
5treatment or programming.
6 (8) A minor found to be guilty for reasons that include a
7violation of Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

5committed by an adult to undergo medical testing to determine
6whether the defendant has any sexually transmissible disease

8virus (HIV) or any other identified causative agency of
9acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
10shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
11practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
12as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
13otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
14kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
15the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
16envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing
17order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
18in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
19public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
20whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
21shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection
22with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall
23also notify the victim if requested by the victim, and if the
24victim is under the age of 15 and if requested by the victim's

4facilities to all parties to whom the results of the testing
5are revealed. The court shall order that the cost of any test
6shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as costs against
7the minor.
8 (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
9shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
10make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
11related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
12organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
13allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
14subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961
15or the Criminal Code of 2012, a violation of any Section of
16Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
172012, or a violation of any statute that involved the wrongful
18use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
19affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to the
20Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the minor
21to perform community service for not less than 30 hours nor
22more than 120 hours, provided that community service is
23available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
24county board of the county where the offense was committed. The
25community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
26the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of

HB3208- 46 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
2Code of 2012 and similar damage to property located in the
3municipality or county in which the violation occurred. When
4possible and reasonable, the community service shall be
5performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
6addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
7for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
8Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
9Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
10Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
11Prevention Act.
12 (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed
13in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
14as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
15the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
16driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
17Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
18which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
19time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
20license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
21not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
2218th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit
23at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that
24the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until
25his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence
26determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license

HB3208- 47 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1at the time of the determination, the court may direct the
2Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving
3permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the
4same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the
5Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that
6the JDP be effective immediately.
7 (12) If a minor is found to be guilty of a violation of
8subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of Tobacco Use
9by Persons under 21 Years of Age and Sale and Distribution of
10Tobacco Products Minors Act, the court may, in its discretion,
11and upon recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that
12minor and his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a
13smoker's education or youth diversion program as defined in
14that Act if that program is available in the jurisdiction where
15the offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or
16youth diversion program shall be time-credited against any
17community service time imposed for any first violation of
18subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any
19other penalty that the court may impose for a violation of
20subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon
21request by the State's Attorney, may in its discretion require
22the offender to remit a fee for his or her attendance at a

18 Sec. 2. Purpose. The sale and possession of marijuana,
19hashish, cocaine, opium and their derivatives, is not only
20prohibited by Illinois Law, but the use of these substances has

23the United States that the use of tobacco is hazardous to human

HB3208- 73 -LRB100 04765 RLC 14772 b
1health.
2 The ready availability of smoking herbs to persons under 21
3years of age minors could lead to the use of tobacco and
4illegal drugs.
5 It is in the best interests of the citizens of the State of
6Illinois to seek to prohibit the spread of illegal drugs,
7tobacco or smoking materials to persons under 21 years of age
8minors. The prohibition of the sale of tobacco and snuff
9accessories and smoking herbs to persons under 21 years of age
10minors would help to curb the usage of illegal drugs and
11tobacco products, among our youth.
