changing Section 5-715 as follows:
(705 ILCS 405/5-715)
Sec. 5-715. Probation.
(1) The period of probation or conditional discharge shall
not exceed 5 years or until the minor has attained the age of
21 years, whichever is less, except as provided in this
Section for a minor who is found to be guilty for an offense
which is first degree murder. The juvenile court may terminate
probation or conditional discharge and discharge the minor at
any time if warranted by the conduct of the minor and the ends
of justice; provided, however, that the period of probation
for a minor who is found to be guilty for an offense which is
first degree murder shall be at least 5 years.
(1.5) The period of probation for a minor who is found
guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault, or aggravated battery with a firearm shall be at
least 36 months. The period of probation for a minor who is
found to be guilty of any other Class X felony shall be at
least 24 months. The period of probation for a Class 1 or Class

2 forcible felony shall be at least 18 months. Regardless of
the length of probation ordered by the court, for all offenses
under this subsection (1.5), the court shall schedule hearings
to determine whether it is in the best interest of the minor
and public safety to terminate probation after the minimum
period of probation has been served. In such a hearing, there
shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is in the best
interest of the minor and public safety to terminate
probation.
(2) The court may as a condition of probation or of
conditional discharge require that the minor:

determine the presence of any illicit drug; or
(u) comply with other conditions as may be ordered by
the court.
(3) The court may as a condition of probation or of
conditional discharge require that a minor found guilty on any
alcohol, cannabis, methamphetamine, or controlled substance

HB4091 Enrolled - 6 - LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b
and placed on probation for reasons that include a violation
of Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals
Act or paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of Section 21-1 of the
Criminal Code of 2012 undergo medical or psychiatric treatment
rendered by a psychiatrist or psychological treatment rendered
by a clinical psychologist. The condition may be in addition
to any other condition.
(3.10) The court shall order that a minor placed on
probation or conditional discharge for a sex offense as
defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act undergo and
successfully complete sex offender treatment. The treatment
shall be in conformance with the standards developed under the
Sex Offender Management Board Act and conducted by a treatment
provider approved by the Board.
(4) A minor on probation or conditional discharge shall be
given a certificate setting forth the conditions upon which
the minor is being released.
(5) (Blank).
(5.5) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred
from the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with
the concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or
retransfers of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same
manner. The court to which jurisdiction has been transferred

If the transfer case originated in another state and has
been transferred under the Interstate Compact for Juveniles to

HB4091 Enrolled - 7 - LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b
the jurisdiction of an Illinois circuit court for supervision
by an Illinois probation department, probation fees may be
imposed only if permitted by the Interstate Commission for
Juveniles.
(6) The General Assembly finds that in order to protect
the public, the juvenile justice system must compel compliance
with the conditions of probation by responding to violations
with swift, certain, and fair punishments and intermediate
sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a
system of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of
the terms and conditions of a sentence of supervision,
probation, or conditional discharge, under this Act.
The court shall provide as a condition of a disposition of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of
the sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or
supervision, subject to the provisions of Section 5-720 of
this Act.
(6.5)(a) When the court places a minor on probation for an
offense that involves the possession or discharge of a firearm
not causing any injury, and the minor has previously been
placed on probation for an offense that involves the
possession or discharge of a firearm not causing any injury,
the probation agency shall:

HB4091 Enrolled - 8 - LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b
(i) conduct an individualized assessment of the
minor's needs;
(ii) identify the array of services available in the
community where the minor resides that may be appropriate
to address the minor's needs, which may include, but are
not limited to, restorative justice programs, social
service programs for high-risk youth, cognitive behavioral
therapy, family engagement, and mentoring; and
(iii) share with the minor and the minor's parent,
guardian, or legal custodian information about their
options to access services identified under this paragraph
(a).
(b) The probation agency may recommend to the court that
it require the minor to access the services identified under
paragraph (a) as a condition of probation.
(7) Fines and assessments, including any fee or
administrative cost authorized under Section 5-4.5-105,
5-5-10, 5-6-3, 5-6-3.1, 5-7-6, 5-9-1.4, or 5-9-1.9 of the
Unified Code of Corrections, shall not be ordered or imposed
on a minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or legal custodian
as a condition of probation, conditional discharge, or
supervision. If the minor or the minor's parent, guardian, or
legal custodian is unable to cover the cost of a condition
under this subsection, the court shall not preclude the minor
from receiving probation, conditional discharge, or
supervision based on the inability to pay. Inability to pay

HB4091 Enrolled - 9 - LRB104 14520 RLC 27660 b

probation, conditional discharge, or supervision.
