title: "CRIM PRO-UNFIT DEFENDANTS"
description: "Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 and the Unified Code of Corrections. If a defendant found unfit to stand trial or acquitted by reason of insanity is placed in the custody of the Department of Human Services, removes the ability of the court to order placement in a non-secure setting within the Department if compelling reasons exist. Any defendant sent to the Department shall be held in a secure setting. For an unfit defendant charged with a misdemeanor, changes the period of time in which the defendant, with treatment, may be expected to attain fitness for purposes of fitness determinations from one year to no longer than the length of sentence if convicted of the most serious offense. If an unfit defendant refuses psychotropic medication, allows the medication to be administered over the defendant's objections as provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Allows any unfit defendant in the Department of Human Services custody (rather than only those ordered into s secure setting by the court) to be transported to court hearings or other necessary appointments off facility grounds by personnel of the Department, placed in security devices or otherwise secured during the period of transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and others. Effective immediately."

# Illinois SB 2801 (98th) — CRIM PRO-UNFIT DEFENDANTS
Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 and the Unified Code of Corrections. If a defendant found unfit to stand trial or acquitted by reason of insanity is placed in the custody of the Department of Human Services, removes the ability of the court to order placement in a non-secure setting within the Department if compelling reasons exist. Any defendant sent to the Department shall be held in a secure setting. For an unfit defendant charged with a misdemeanor, changes the period of time in which the defendant, with treatment, may be expected to attain fitness for purposes of fitness determinations from one year to no longer than the length of sentence if convicted of the most serious offense. If an unfit defendant refuses psychotropic medication, allows the medication to be administered over the defendant's objections as provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Allows any unfit defendant in the Department of Human Services custody (rather than only those ordered into s secure setting by the court) to be transported to court hearings or other necessary appointments off facility grounds by personnel of the Department, placed in security devices or otherwise secured during the period of transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and others. Effective immediately.
