Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 2. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by

(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, a Class X felony or a forcible felony. 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, a

minor, and advance approval by a probation officer, if the
minor has been placed on probation, or advance approval by
the court, if the minor has been placed on conditional
discharge;

tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a street gang removed from
his or her body;
(t) refrain from having in his or her body the presence
of any illicit drug prohibited by the Cannabis Control Act,
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act,
unless prescribed by a physician, and shall submit samples
of his or her blood or urine or both for tests to 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
violation, refrain from acquiring a driver's license during the
period of probation or conditional discharge. If the minor is
in possession of a permit or license, the court may require
that the minor refrain from driving or operating any motor
vehicle during the period of probation or conditional
discharge, except as may be necessary in the course of the
minor's lawful employment.
(3.5) The court shall, as a condition of probation or of
conditional discharge, require that a minor found to be guilty
and placed on probation for reasons that include a violation of

Criminal Code of 2012 undergo medical or psychiatric treatment

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. The treatment shall be at the
expense of the person evaluated based upon that person's
ability to pay for the treatment.
(4) A minor on probation or conditional discharge shall be
given a certificate setting forth the conditions upon which he
or she is being released.
(5) The court shall impose upon a minor placed on probation
or conditional discharge, as a condition of the probation or
conditional discharge, a fee of $50 for each month of probation
or conditional discharge supervision ordered by the court,
unless after determining the inability of the minor placed on
probation or conditional discharge to pay the fee, the court
assesses a lesser amount. The court may not impose the fee on a
minor who is made a ward of the State under this Act while the
minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon a
minor who is actively supervised by the probation and court
services department. The court may order the parent, guardian,
or legal custodian of the minor to pay some or all of the fee on
the minor's behalf.
(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 shall have the same
powers as the sentencing court. The probation department within
the circuit to which jurisdiction has been transferred, or
which has agreed to provide supervision, may impose probation
fees upon receiving the transferred offender, as provided in
subsection (i) of Section 5-6-3 of the Unified Code of
Corrections. For all transfer cases, as defined in Section 9b
of the Probation and Probation Officers Act, the probation
department from the original sentencing court shall retain all
probation fees collected prior to the transfer. After the
transfer, all probation fees shall be paid to the probation
department within the circuit 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
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.

discharge supervision to another state is subject to

court to attend educational courses designed to prepare the
defendant for a high school diploma and to work toward a
high school diploma or to work toward passing the high

probation or conditional discharge of a person who wilfully
fails to comply with this clause (7). The person on

for the cost of the educational courses or GED test, if a
fee is charged for those courses or test. The court shall
resentence the offender whose probation or conditional
discharge has been revoked as provided in Section 5-6-4.

community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is made a
ward of the State under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers Act.
A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an offender's
ability to pay Of the amount collected as a probation fee, up
to $5 of that fee collected per month may be used to provide
services to crime victims and their families.
The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
probation department, or has been transferred either under
subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate compact,
shall be required to pay probation fees to the department
supervising the offender, based on the offender's ability to
pay.
This amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly deletes
the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was
imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to
control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that
retains or incorporates that fee increase.
(i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation department
has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined in the Sex
Offender Management Board Act), the court or the probation
department shall assess additional fees to pay for all costs of
treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and treatment, and
monitoring the offender, based on that offender's ability to
pay those costs either as they occur or under a payment plan.
(j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section 27.5
of the Clerks of Courts Act.
(k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
court or probation department has determined to be sexually
motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
required by the court or the probation department.
(l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as
provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.
