| 1 | AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | ||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 104-31 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (725 ILCS 5/104-31) (from Ch. 38, par. 104-31)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 104-31. No defendant placed in a secure setting of the | ||||||
| 8 | Department of
Human Services pursuant to
the provisions of | ||||||
| 9 | Sections 104-17, 104-25, or 104-26 shall be permitted outside
| ||||||
| 10 | the facility's
housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by | ||||||
| 11 | personnel of the Department of
Human Services or authorized by | ||||||
| 12 | court order.
Any defendant placed in a secure setting pursuant | ||||||
| 13 | to this Section,
transported to court hearings or other | ||||||
| 14 | necessary appointments
off facility grounds
by personnel of
the | ||||||
| 15 | Department of Human Services, may be
placed in security devices
| ||||||
| 16 | or otherwise secured during the period of transportation to | ||||||
| 17 | assure
secure transport of the defendant and the safety of | ||||||
| 18 | Department
of Human Services personnel and others. These | ||||||
| 19 | security measures
shall not constitute restraint as defined in | ||||||
| 20 | the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Code.
Nor | ||||||
| 21 | shall
any such defendant
be permitted any off-grounds | ||||||
| 22 | privileges, either with or without escort by
personnel of the | ||||||
| 23 | Department of Human Services,
or any unsupervised on-ground | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | privileges, or placement in a non-secure setting unless such | ||||||
| 2 | off-grounds or
unsupervised on-grounds privileges, or | ||||||
| 3 | placement in a non-secure setting have been approved by | ||||||
| 4 | specific court
order, which order may include such conditions | ||||||
| 5 | on the defendant as the
court may deem appropriate and | ||||||
| 6 | necessary to reasonably assure the
defendant's satisfactory | ||||||
| 7 | progress in treatment and the safety of the defendant
or | ||||||
| 8 | others. Whenever the court receives a report from the | ||||||
| 9 | supervisor of the defendant's treatment recommending the | ||||||
| 10 | defendant for any off-grounds or unsupervised on-grounds | ||||||
| 11 | privileges, or placement in a non-secure setting, the court | ||||||
| 12 | shall set the matter for a first hearing within 21 days unless | ||||||
| 13 | good cause is demonstrated why the hearing cannot be held.
The | ||||||
| 14 | changes made to this Section by
this amendatory Act of the 96th | ||||||
| 15 | General Assembly are declarative of existing
law and shall not | ||||||
| 16 | be construed as a new enactment.
| ||||||
| 17 | (Source: P.A. 95-296, eff. 8-20-07.)
| ||||||
| 18 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 19 | becoming law.
