Article 5, Part 5 - Pre-trial proceedings (705 ILCS 405/Article V, Part 5)

B.Pre-trial conditions (705 ILCS 405/5-505):

If a minor is charged with the commission of a delinquent act, at the appearance of the minor before the court prior to trial, the court may conduct a hearing to determine whether the minor should be required to do any of the following:

Not violate any criminal laws;

Report to and appear in person before any person or agency as directed by the court;

Refrain from possessing a firearm or other dangerous weapon, or an automobile;

Reside with his or her parents or in a foster home;

Attend school;

Attend a non-residential program for youth;

Comply with curfews;

Refrain from entering a designated geographic area expect upon terms as the court finds appropriate;

Refrain from having contact, directly or indirectly, with certain persons or specified types of persons, including but not limited to members of street gangs and drug users or dealers; and,

Comply with any other condition as may be ordered by the court.

These conditions are similar to requirements imposed upon adults who have been released on bond from the criminal court system. Of course, attending school and other youth-related provisions would not apply to adults.

Whenever a petition has been filed under Section 5-520 the court can, at any time prior to trial or sentencing, order that the minor be placed in detention or a shelter care facility after the court conducts a hearing and finds that the conduct and behavior of the minor may endanger the health, person, welfare, or property of himself or others or that the circumstances of his or her home environment may endanger his or her health, person, welfare or property.
