AN ACT concerning courts.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
adding Part 5A to Article V as follows:
(705 ILCS 405/Art. Pt. 5A heading new)
PART 5A. FITNESS TO STAND TRIAL
(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-101 new)
Sec. 5-5A-101. Purpose. This Part recognizes that children
are substantially different from adults and therefore creates
procedures to establish fitness to stand trial that
accommodate these differences. This Part is intended to
support children through practices that are trauma-informed
and that protect children's rights and dignity; questions of
interpretation shall be resolved in line with these practices.
This Part recognizes that the ability to understand charges
and to participate meaningfully in one's own defense evolve
gradually throughout childhood and early adulthood and that
each child deserves developmentally appropriate responses that
reflect the best understanding of the child's current
abilities.

"Child" means a person under the age of 21, regardless of
whether the person is subject to this Act or prosecuted under
the criminal laws of this State.
"Child traumatic stress" means exposure to one or more
traumatic events over the course of a child's life that result
in that child developing reactions that persist and that
interfere with the child's functional, social, adaptive, or
intellectual ability.
"Chronological immaturity" means a lack of functional,
social, adaptive, or intellectual ability due to chronological
age.
"Developmental disability" means a disability that is
attributable to an intellectual disability, cerebral palsy,
epilepsy, autism, a learning disability, or any other
condition that results in impaired functional, social,
adaptive, or intellectual ability.
"Mental illness" means a mental or emotional disorder that
substantially impairs a person's thought, perception of
reality, emotional process, judgment, behavior, or ability to
cope with the ordinary demands of life, but does not include
behavioral disorders.
"Relative immaturity" means a lack of functional, social,
adaptive, or intellectual ability when a child is compared to
other children of the same chronological age.

unfitness. A child is unfit when the child either:

attorney, the State, or the court at any time before a plea is

5-5A-190 would render the child fit; and
(2) whether there is a substantial probability that
the child, if provided with services to attain fitness
pursuant to Section 5-5A-170, will attain fitness within
the period to attain fitness set forth in Section

within the period to attain fitness set forth in Section
5-5A-175, or if the court is unable to determine whether a
substantial probability exists, the court shall order the
child to receive services to attain fitness on either an
inpatient or outpatient basis. If the court is unable to
determine whether a substantial probability exists and orders
the child to receive services to attain fitness, the court
shall conduct a hearing as soon as possible following the
receipt of the report filed pursuant to Section 5-5A-180 to
determine whether there is a substantial probability that the
child will attain fitness within the statutory period.
(f) If the court finds that the child is unfit to stand
trial, it shall proceed pursuant to this Act. If the court
finds that the child could be rendered fit with in-court
assistance, the court shall order in-court assistance pursuant
to Section 5-5A-190.

approved by the Illinois Department of Human Services to

SB2042 - 12 - LRB103 27654 RLC 54031 b
provide residential, restoration care and treatment. If the
court orders the child to receive services on an outpatient
basis, such services shall be rendered in the community at a
program approved by the Illinois Department of Human Services.
Court-ordered services and placements shall be consistent with
the recommendations in the evaluation report. All services
shall be trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and

needs and best interests of the child. A placement may be

needs warranting a hospital-level of care.

fitness entered pursuant to Section 5-5A-165, the clerk of the
circuit court shall transmit to the Illinois Department of
Human Services, and any other agency or institution providing
services to attain fitness to the child, the following:

(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-180 new)
Sec. 5-5A-180. Initial and subsequent progress reports.

to attain fitness pursuant to Sections 5-5A-170 and 5-5A-175,
the person in charge of supervising the child's services shall
file with the court an initial report assessing the program's
capacity to provide appropriate services for the child and
indicating the person's opinion as to the probability of the
child attaining fitness within the period to attain fitness
provided in Section 5-5A-175. If the initial report indicates
that there is a substantial probability that the child will
attain fitness within the allowed statutory period, the
supervisor shall also file a services plan which shall
include:

SB2042 - 14 - LRB103 27654 RLC 54031 b

progress report to the court at least 7 days prior to the date
of any hearing on the issue of the child's fitness.

circumstances are met, the supervisor shall notify the court
in writing as soon as possible but no later than 7 days after
the determination is made:

substantial probability that the child will attain
fitness, with services, within the period to attain
fitness under Section 5-5A-175; or
(3) if the supervisor believes a change in services or
placement is necessary.
(d) The initial and subsequent progress reports shall
contain:
(1) the clinical findings of the supervisor and the
facts upon which the findings are based;
(2) the opinion of the supervisor as to whether the

SB2042 - 15 - LRB103 27654 RLC 54031 b
child has attained fitness and as to whether the child is
making progress, with services, toward attaining fitness
within the period set in Section 5-5A-175;
(3) whether the current services to attain fitness and
placement continue to be in the least restrictive
environment necessary, whether a different level of care
is needed, and the basis for that recommendation; and
(4) any other changes in recommendations of services
to attain fitness.
(e) If the supervisor of the child's services determines,
pursuant to paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of this Section,
that the child is not in the least restrictive environment
necessary to attain fitness, upon receipt of the progress
report, the court shall ensure that the child is immediately
moved to the least restrictive environment necessary.

thereafter. In addition, whenever the court receives a report
from the supervisor of the child's services pursuant to
paragraph (c) of Section 5-5A-180, the court shall set the
matter for a hearing within 14 days unless good cause is
demonstrated why the hearing cannot be held. On the date set,

(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-190 new)
Sec. 5-5A-190. In-court assistance to render a child fit.
(a) If the court determines that the child could be
rendered fit with in-court assistance under Section 5-5A-165,
the court shall order in-court assistance under subsection
(b). A child found unfit because of chronological immaturity
cannot be rendered fit with in-court assistance. A child found
unfit because of relative immaturity or child traumatic stress
cannot be rendered fit solely with in-court assistance.
(b) In-court assistance may include, but is not limited
to:
(1) appointment of a qualified translator who shall
simultaneously translate all court proceedings into a
language understood by the child; and
(2) appointment of an expert qualified to assist a
child who, because of a disability, is unable to
communicate with the child's attorney.
(c) If in-court assistance is provided, the case may
proceed to trial only if the court determines that in-court
assistance renders the child fit. In such cases, the court
shall state for the record the following:

the particular experts or other persons to provide the
in-court assistance to the child;
(3) how the appointment of the particular expert or
other persons will serve the goal of rendering the child
fit, based on the appointee's qualifications and
experience, and the lack of functional, social, adaptive,
or intellectual abilities of the child; and
(4) any other factors considered by the court in
appointing the experts or other persons.
(d) A child adjudicated delinquent following a trial
conducted with in-court assistance provided under this Section
shall not be sentenced before a written report of social
investigation is presented to and considered by the court. The
written report of social investigation shall be prepared
pursuant to Section 5-701 and shall include a physical and
mental examination unless the court finds that the reports of
prior physical and mental examinations conducted pursuant to
this Part are adequate and recent enough to render additional
examinations unnecessary.
(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-195 new)
Sec. 5-5A-195. Time Credit. A sentence imposed on the
child in the pending case or in any other case arising out of
the same conduct shall be reduced by time spent:

SB2042 - 18 - LRB103 27654 RLC 54031 b

5-5A-170 or pursuant to a commitment to the Department of

placed in the child's court record but shall be maintained

only to the court or an appellate court, the State, the child,
the child's attorney, the child's parent or guardian, or a
facility or program that provides services to the child
pursuant to an order of the court. These records of the child
shall be privileged and shall not be disclosed except under
the conditions set forth in Section 5-910. Nothing in this
Section shall operate to extinguish any rights of a child
established by law, including, but not limited to:
attorney-client, physician-patient, psychologist-client, or
social worker-client privileges, except as otherwise provided

SB2042 - 19 - LRB103 27654 RLC 54031 b
by law.
(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-205 new)
Sec. 5-5A-205. Sentencing guidelines for a child who
attains fitness. The court shall not impose a commitment to
the Department of Juvenile Justice upon the child if the court
believes that because of the child's condition, such a
sentence would not be in the interests of society and the
child, or would subject the child to excessive hardship. In
addition to any other conditions of a sentence of conditional
discharge or probation, the court may require that the child
receive additional services for the child's condition.
(705 ILCS 405/5-5A-210 new)
Sec. 5-5A-210. Legal disposition if fitness cannot be
attained. The court shall dismiss the charges against the
