  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | or she is being

 | 
| 2 |  |  (5) The court shall impose upon a minor placed on probation  | 
| 3 |  | or conditional
discharge, as a condition of the probation or  | 
| 4 |  | conditional discharge, a fee of
$50 for each month of probation  | 
| 5 |  | or conditional discharge supervision ordered by
the court,  | 
| 6 |  | unless after determining the inability of the minor placed on
 | 
| 7 |  | probation or conditional discharge to pay the fee, the court  | 
| 8 |  | assesses a lesser
amount. The court may not impose the fee on a  | 
| 9 |  | minor who is made a ward of the
State under this Act while the  | 
| 10 |  | minor is in placement. The fee shall be
imposed only upon a  | 
| 11 |  | minor who is actively supervised by the probation and court
 | 
| 12 |  | services department. The court may order the parent, guardian,  | 
| 13 |  | or legal
custodian of the minor to pay some or all of the fee on  | 
| 14 |  | the minor's behalf.
 | 
| 15 |  |  (5.5) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from  | 
| 16 |  | the
sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the  | 
| 17 |  | concurrence
of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers of  | 
| 18 |  | jurisdiction are
also authorized in the same manner. The court  | 
| 19 |  | to which jurisdiction has
been transferred shall have the same  | 
| 20 |  | powers as the sentencing court.
The probation department within  | 
| 21 |  | the circuit to which jurisdiction has
been transferred, or  | 
| 22 |  | which has agreed to provide supervision, may
impose probation  | 
| 23 |  | fees upon receiving the transferred offender, as
provided in  | 
| 24 |  | subsection (i) of Section 5-6-3 of the Unified Code of  | 
| 25 |  | Corrections. For all transfer cases, as defined in
Section 9b  | 
| 26 |  | of the Probation and Probation Officers Act, the probation
 | 
     | 
 |  | HB4672 | - 7 - | LRB098 17199 RLC 52290 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  | department from the original sentencing court shall retain all
 | 
| 2 |  | probation fees collected prior to the transfer. After the  | 
| 3 |  | transfer, all
probation fees shall be paid to the probation  | 
| 4 |  | department within the
circuit to which jurisdiction has been  | 
| 5 |  | transferred.  | 
| 6 |  |  If the transfer case originated in another state and has  | 
| 7 |  | been transferred under the Interstate Compact for Juveniles to  | 
| 8 |  | the jurisdiction of an Illinois circuit court for supervision  | 
| 9 |  | by an Illinois probation department, probation fees may be  | 
| 10 |  | imposed only if permitted by the Interstate Commission for  | 
| 11 |  | Juveniles.  | 
| 12 |  |  (6) The General Assembly finds that in order to protect the  | 
| 13 |  | public, the
juvenile justice system must compel compliance with  | 
| 14 |  | the conditions of probation
by responding to violations with  | 
| 15 |  | swift, certain, and fair punishments and
intermediate  | 
| 16 |  | sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a system
 | 
| 17 |  | of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of the  | 
| 18 |  | terms and
conditions of a sentence of supervision, probation or  | 
| 19 |  | conditional discharge,
under this
Act.
 | 
| 20 |  |  The court shall provide as a condition of a disposition of  | 
| 21 |  | probation,
conditional discharge, or supervision, that the  | 
| 22 |  | probation agency may invoke any
sanction from the list of  | 
| 23 |  | intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of
the  | 
| 24 |  | circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the  | 
| 25 |  | sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,  | 
| 26 |  | subject to the provisions of
Section 5-720 of this Act.
