The Department of Human Services shall prepare 2 reports on the impact of the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. A preliminary report shall be prepared and submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by November 1, 2012. A final report shall be prepared and submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by October 1, 2013. The Department of Human Services shall prepare a report on the impact, after January 1, 2014, of the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. The report shall be prepared and submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly on or before January 2, 2016. Each report shall be posted on the Department's website within a week of its submission. Each report shall discuss the number of admissions during the reporting period, any delay in admissions, the number of persons returned to the county under the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any issues the county sheriffs or other county officials are having with the returns. Each report shall include a recommendation from the Department of Human Services and one from an association representing Illinois sheriffs whether to continue the pilot study. If either report indicates that there are serious deleterious effects from the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or that the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 are not producing adequate results, the General Assembly may take necessary steps to eliminate the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 104-18 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 prior to January 1, 2014.
