IL SB2521

Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require fitness examination reports to include opinions on likelihood of defendant attaining fitness within specified timeframes: one year for felony charges and no longer than the maximum term of imprisonment for misdemeanor charges.

Modifies Section 104-20 to require facility directors to provide status reports on defendant's fitness restoration progress every 60 days from the initial court order, and requires courts to hold hearings within 90 days to reassess fitness.

Mandates all forensic interviews by court-appointed examiners be videotaped unless impractical, with the examiner's notes and evaluations made available to opposing examiners upon written request.

Changes treatment plan reporting requirements for defendants found not guilty by reason of insanity, requiring reports every 90 days instead of every 60 days after the initial 30-day period.

Takes effect January 1, 2017, and applies to all persons currently committed to the Department of Human Services who have been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
