11 | 11 | | 1 AN ACT concerning courts. |
---|
12 | 12 | | 2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
---|
13 | 13 | | 3 represented in the General Assembly: |
---|
14 | 14 | | 4 Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by |
---|
15 | 15 | | 5 adding Part 5A to Article V as follows: |
---|
16 | 16 | | 6 (705 ILCS 405/Art. V Pt. 5A heading new) |
---|
17 | 17 | | 7 PART 5A. FITNESS TO STAND TRIAL |
---|
18 | 18 | | 8 (705 ILCS 405/5-5A-101 new) |
---|
19 | 19 | | 9 Sec. 5-5A-101. Purpose. |
---|
20 | 20 | | 10 (a) This Part recognizes that minors are substantially |
---|
21 | 21 | | 11 different from adults and therefore creates procedures to |
---|
22 | 22 | | 12 establish fitness to stand trial that accommodate these |
---|
23 | 23 | | 13 differences. Currently in Illinois, children of any age can be |
---|
24 | 24 | | 14 arrested, charged, and prosecuted. This approach is |
---|
25 | 25 | | 15 inconsistent with developmental science, which overwhelmingly |
---|
26 | 26 | | 16 finds that children are limited in their ability to understand |
---|
27 | 27 | | 17 the consequences of their actions, manage impulses and peer |
---|
28 | 28 | | 18 influence to plan for the future. Modern neuroscience explains |
---|
29 | 29 | | 19 both limitations on culpability for minors, defined as an |
---|
30 | 30 | | 20 individual's blameworthiness or responsibility for a criminal |
---|
31 | 31 | | 21 action, as well as limitations on the ability to assist with |
---|
32 | 32 | | 22 and make critical decisions regarding one's own legal defense. |

67 | 67 | | 1 Accordingly, prosecutors, defense counsel, and courts must |
---|
68 | 68 | | 2 carefully consider chronological immaturity, relative |
---|
69 | 69 | | 3 immaturity, and the impact of trauma, as well as other |
---|
70 | 70 | | 4 relevant factors, in considering the fitness of a minor to be |
---|
71 | 71 | | 5 tried, adjudicated or convicted, and sentenced. These factors |
---|
72 | 72 | | 6 should be given significant weight when determining the |
---|
73 | 73 | | 7 fitness of a child under the age of 14. |
---|
74 | 74 | | 8 (b) This Part is intended to support minors through |
---|
75 | 75 | | 9 practices that are trauma-informed and that protect minor's |
---|
76 | 76 | | 10 rights and dignity; questions of interpretation shall be |
---|
77 | 77 | | 11 resolved in line with these practices. This Part recognizes |
---|
78 | 78 | | 12 that the ability to understand charges and to participate |
---|
79 | 79 | | 13 meaningfully in one's own defense evolve gradually throughout |
---|
80 | 80 | | 14 childhood and early adulthood and that each minor deserves |
---|
81 | 81 | | 15 developmentally appropriate responses that reflect the best |
---|
82 | 82 | | 16 understanding of the minor's current abilities. |

---|
190 | 190 | | 19 based on the report, that report shall be provided to the court |

191 | 191 | | 20 and the State. If the court finds a bona fide doubt of fitness |

220 | 220 | | 13 presumed to be fit to stand trial or to plead and be |

223 | 223 | | 16 (2) except as set forth in subparagraph (3), when the |

572 | 572 | | 18 (D) the minor is alleged to have personally used a |
