AI Summary
This bill amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Children and Family Services Act to modify rules around juvenile detention and commitment. The bill raises the minimum age for certain types of detention and commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice from 13 to 14 years old. Specifically, on or after July 1, 2026, minors 12 years and older can be detained in an authorized facility under certain conditions, such as posing a serious threat to community safety or having a history of failing to appear at court hearings. Starting July 1, 2027, minors 12-13 years old can only be detained for specific serious offenses like first-degree murder or aggravated criminal sexual assault. The bill emphasizes that placement away from a minor's home must be a last resort and the least restrictive alternative. It also requires probation and court services to document and report instances where alternatives to detention were insufficient. For minors under 13 who are in conflict with the law, the bill suggests using petitions under the Minors Requiring Authoritative Intervention Article or community mediation programs instead of detention. Additionally, for minors found guilty of certain offenses, the bill allows commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice until their 21st birthday, with restrictions on release options.
