Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Establishes procedures for determining whether a child is fit to stand trial. Provides that the procedures apply to a child under the age of 21, regardless of whether the person is subject to the Act or prosecuted under the criminal laws of the State. Provides that unfitness may result from the presence of any condition or confluence of conditions, including, but not limited to, mental illness, substance use disorder, developmental disability, chronological immaturity, relative immaturity, or child traumatic stress. Provides that a diagnosis is not required for a finding of unfitness. Provides that a child is unfit when the child either: (1) lacks sufficient

present ability to consult with the
child's attorney with a reasonable

degree of rational understanding, as evidenced by lacking the ability to disclose to the attorney facts pertinent to the proceedings at issue and to assist in the child's defense; or (2) lacks a rational or a factual understanding of the proceedings against the child, as evidenced by certain specified factors. Provides that the issue of the child's fitness

to stand trial, to
plead, or to be sentenced may be raised by the child's

attorney, the State, or the court at any time before a plea is entered or before, during, or after trial. Provides that in making determinations on the issue of a child's fitness, the following burdens of proof and presumptions shall apply: (1) when the court finds a bona fide doubt as to

the
fitness of a child, the State
bears the burden of proving that the

child is fit by clear and convincing evidence; and (2) a child who is

receiving medication shall not be
presumed to be fit or unfit to stand

trial solely by virtue of the receipt of that medication. Provides that the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission shall develop and recommend mechanisms to collect and analyze data, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender, geography, age, and socioeconomic status, resulting from the implementation of these provisions. Provides that the report and recommendations shall be submitted to the General Assembly on or before January 1, 2024. Contains a severability provision. Effective July 1, 2023.

1 AN ACT concerning courts.

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

3 represented in the General Assembly:

4 Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by

5 adding Part 5A to Article V as follows:

7 PART 5A. FITNESS TO STAND TRIAL

8 (705 ILCS 405/5-5A-101 new)

9 Sec. 5-5A-101. Purpose. This Part recognizes that children

10 are substantially different from adults and therefore creates

11 procedures to establish fitness to stand trial that

12 accommodate these differences. This Part is intended to

13 support children through practices that are trauma-informed

14 and that protect children's rights and dignity; questions of

15 interpretation shall be resolved in line with these practices.

16 This Part recognizes that the ability to understand charges

17 and to participate meaningfully in one's own defense evolve

18 gradually throughout childhood and early adulthood and that

19 each child deserves developmentally appropriate responses that

20 reflect the best understanding of the child's current

21 abilities.

13 unfit, the court shall determine:

14 (1) whether in-court assistance pursuant to Section

13 fitness entered pursuant to Section 5-5A-165, the clerk of the

14 circuit court shall transmit to the Illinois Department of

12 in writing as soon as possible but no later than 7 days after

13 the determination is made:

17 substantial probability that the child will attain

18 fitness, with services, within the period to attain

19 fitness under Section 5-5A-175; or

18 child who, because of a disability, is unable to

19 communicate with the child's attorney.

2 (2) the court's reasons for selecting or appointing

3 the particular experts or other persons to provide the

4 in-court assistance to the child;

5 (3) how the appointment of the particular expert or

7 fit, based on the appointee's qualifications and

8 experience, and the lack of functional, social, adaptive,

9 or intellectual abilities of the child; and

10 (4) any other factors considered by the court in

11 appointing the experts or other persons.

12 (d) A child adjudicated delinquent following a trial

13 conducted with in-court assistance provided under this Section

3 Sec. 5-5A-205. Sentencing guidelines for a child who

4 attains fitness. The court shall not impose a commitment to

10 discharge or probation, the court may require that the child

11 receive additional services for the child's condition.

13 Sec. 5-5A-210. Legal disposition if fitness cannot be

16 under Section 5-5A-165 and that the child:

17 (1) cannot attain fitness within the period to attain

18 fitness defined in Section 5-5A-175 or that there is not a

20 within the period to attain fitness defined under Section

21 5-5A-175; and
