Department of Human Services shall prepare two reports evaluating the impact of Section 104-18(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, with a preliminary report due November 1, 2012 and a final report due October 1, 2013.

Reports shall include data on admissions, delays in admissions, number of persons returned to county jail, and issues raised by county sheriffs regarding the return provisions.

Each report shall include recommendations from the Department of Human Services and an association representing Illinois sheriffs on whether to continue the pilot study.

The General Assembly may eliminate Section 104-18(c) prior to January 1, 2014 if either report indicates serious deleterious effects or inadequate results from the provisions.

Section 104-18(c) becomes inoperative on January 1, 2014, requiring treatment providers to arrange defendant return to county jail before timeframes specified in Section 104-20 when defendants attain fitness.
