(730 ILCS 5/5-6-3.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-3.2) Sec. 5-6-3.2. (a) In counties with populations of 2,000,000 or more inhabitants, the court may, after consideration of the factors set forth in paragraph (c), require as a condition of probation that a person participate in the Probation Challenge Program. Upon imposing such condition on the person, the court shall provide the person with the address of the Program's offices and the name of the Counselor Supervisor of the Program, and require that the person present himself to the Counselor Supervisor at such address by the close of office hours on the immediately succeeding day during which the Program maintains regular office hours. The clerk of the court shall promptly notify the Counselor Supervisor of each person who has been required to participate in the Program as a condition of his probation and the date on which such condition was imposed. Whether a person is eligible for entry into the Program is a judicial determination. (b) The condition that the person participate in the Probation Challenge Program includes the specific conditions that the person present himself to the Counselor Supervisor of such Program pursuant to paragraph (a), that the person punctually appear for all meetings scheduled between him and any personnel of such Program, and that the person strictly comply with all rules prescribed by the Board of City College of Chicago pursuant to Section 12 of the Probation Challenge Program Act. Violation of any of the specific conditions set forth in this paragraph shall not be grounds for revocation of probation, except where such violation has resulted in the person's expulsion from the Program. (c) In determining whether to require that a person participate in the Probation Challenge Program as a condition of his probation, the court should consider (1) Whether the person demonstrates a desire to avoid future conduct of the type which resulted in his being sentenced to a term of probation; (2) Whether the type of assistance offered by the Probation Challenge Program is best suited to the person's needs; (3) Whether the person appears, in light of his age and history, to be a likely candidate for rehabilitation; (4) Whether the person has access to the economic resources, and is exposed to the type of social influences, which would enable him to attain the types of goals established for clients of the Probation Challenge Program without his participating in the Program; (5) Whether the person demonstrates potential for accomplishing the types of goals which would be established for him were he a client of the Probation Challenge Program; and (6) The need for limiting the number of participants in the Probation Challenge Program to a level which can be efficiently managed by the personnel of such Program. (d) Participation by a person in the Probation Challenge Program shall be for the duration of the person's term of probation. In the event the person successfully attains all the goals which have been established for him by his counselor and instructor in the Probation Challenge Program, the court may, on its own motion, on the motion of the person's probation officer or at the request of the person, terminate the person's probation if, in the opinion of the court, such action would best serve the interests of the person and the ends of justice. (e) A person shall be expelled from the Probation Challenge Program upon his violating for the fourth time any of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b). A person who has been expelled from the Probation Challenge Program shall not subsequently participate in such Program absent compelling reasons in favor of such subsequent participation.
