    Sec. 5-810. Extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions.
    (1)(a) If the State's Attorney files a petition, at any time prior to commencement of the minor's trial, to designate the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution and the petition alleges the commission by a minor 13 years of age or older of any offense which would be a felony if committed by an adult, and, if the juvenile judge assigned to hear and determine petitions to designate the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines that there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in the petition and motion are true, there is a rebuttable presumption that the proceeding shall be designated as an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding.
    (b) The judge shall enter an order designating the proceeding as an extended jurisdiction juvenile proceeding unless the judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing evidence that sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections would not be appropriate for the minor based on an evaluation of the following factors:
        (i) the age of the minor;
        (ii) the history of the minor, including:
            (A) any previous delinquent or criminal history
        
of the minor,
            (B) any previous abuse or neglect history of the
        
minor,
            (C) any mental health, physical and/or
        
educational history of the minor, and
            (D) any involvement of the minor in the child
        
welfare system;
        (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:
            (A) the seriousness of the offense,
            (B) whether the minor is charged through
        
accountability,
            (C) whether there is evidence the offense was
        
committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner,
            (D) whether there is evidence the offense caused
        
serious bodily harm,
            (E) whether there is evidence the minor possessed
        
a deadly weapon,
            (F) whether there is evidence the minor was
        
subjected to outside pressure, including peer pressure, familial pressure, or negative influences, and
            (G) the minor's degree of participation and
        
specific role in the offense;
        (iv) the advantages of treatment within the juvenile
    
justice system including whether there are facilities or programs, or both, particularly available in the juvenile system;
        (v) whether the security of the public requires
    
sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections:
            (A) the minor's history of services, including
        
the minor's willingness to participate meaningfully in available services;
            (B) whether there is a reasonable likelihood that
        
the minor can be rehabilitated before the expiration of the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
            (C) the adequacy of the punishment or services.
    In considering these factors, the court shall give greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense, and the minor's prior record of delinquency than to other factors listed in this subsection.
    (2) Procedures for extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecutions. The State's Attorney may file a written motion for a proceeding to be designated as an extended juvenile jurisdiction prior to commencement of trial. Notice of the motion shall be in compliance with Section 5-530. When the State's Attorney files a written motion that a proceeding be designated an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the court shall commence a hearing within 30 days of the filing of the motion for designation, unless good cause is shown by the prosecution or the minor as to why the hearing could not be held within this time period. If the court finds good cause has been demonstrated, then the hearing shall be held within 60 days of the filing of the motion. The hearings shall be open to the public unless the judge finds that the hearing should be closed for the protection of any party, victim or witness. If the Juvenile Judge assigned to hear and determine a motion to designate an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution determines that there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in the petition and motion are true the court shall grant the motion for designation. Information used by the court in its findings or stated in or offered in connection with this Section may be by way of proffer based on reliable information offered by the State or the minor. All evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless of whether it would be admissible under the rules of evidence.
    (3) Trial. A minor who is subject of an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution has the right to trial by jury. Any trial under this Section shall be open to the public.
    (4) Sentencing. If an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) results in a guilty plea, a verdict of guilty, or a finding of guilt, the court shall impose the following:
        (i) one or more juvenile sentences under Section
    
5-710; and
        (ii) an adult criminal sentence in accordance with
    
the provisions of Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of Corrections, the execution of which shall be stayed on the condition that the offender not violate the provisions of the juvenile sentence.
Any sentencing hearing under this Section shall be open to the public.
    (5) If, after an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution trial, a minor is convicted of a lesser-included offense or of an offense that the State's Attorney did not designate as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the State's Attorney may file a written motion, within 10 days of the finding of guilt, that the minor be sentenced as an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution offender. The court shall rule on this motion using the factors found in paragraph (1)(b) of Section 5-805. If the court denies the State's Attorney's motion for sentencing under the extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution provision, the court shall proceed to sentence the minor under Section 5-710.
    (6) When it appears that a minor convicted in an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution under subsection (1) has violated the conditions of the minor's sentence, or is alleged to have committed a new offense upon the filing of a petition to revoke the stay, the court may, without notice, issue a warrant for the arrest of the minor. After a hearing, if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the minor committed a new offense, the court shall order execution of the previously imposed adult criminal sentence. After a hearing, if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the minor committed a violation of the minor's sentence other than by a new offense, the court may order execution of the previously imposed adult criminal sentence or may continue the minor on the existing juvenile sentence with or without modifying or enlarging the conditions. Upon revocation of the stay of the adult criminal sentence and imposition of that sentence, the minor's extended jurisdiction juvenile status shall be terminated. The on-going jurisdiction over the minor's case shall be assumed by the adult criminal court and juvenile court jurisdiction shall be terminated and a report of the imposition of the adult sentence shall be sent to the Illinois State Police.
    (7) Upon successful completion of the juvenile sentence the court shall vacate the adult criminal sentence.
    (8) Nothing in this Section precludes the State from filing a motion for transfer under Section 5-805.
