Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that a comprehensive community based youth service organization shall certify that a minor has been referred by the regional superintendent or Office of Chronic Truant Adjudication to that agency for truancy intervention services. Provides that if the comprehensive community based youth service agency is incapable or unwilling to provide the certification, then this requirement of a certification is not applicable. Provides that the comprehensive community based youth service agency shall submit reports to the regional superintendent or the Office of Chronic Truant Adjudication within 30, 120, and 180 days of the minor's referral, or at any other time requested by a regional superintendent or the Office of Chronic Truant Adjudication, which reports each shall certify the date of the minor's referral and the extent of the minor's progress and participation in truancy intervention services provided by the comprehensive community based youth service agency. Provides that if after referral by the regional superintendent or the Office of Chronic Truant Adjudication, the minor declines or refuses to fully participate in truancy intervention services provided by the comprehensive community based youth service agency, then the agency shall immediately certify such facts to the regional superintendent or the Office of Chronic Truant Adjudication.

Provides that outside of cities of over 500,000 inhabitants, a minor who is reported by the regional superintendent of schools as a chronic truant may be subject to a petition for adjudication and adjudged a chronic truant, provided that prior to the filing of the petition, the office of the regional superintendent of schools or a community truancy review board certifies that the local school has provided appropriate truancy intervention services to the truant minor and his or her family. Provides that if after review by the regional office of education or community truancy review board it is determined the local school did not provide the appropriate interventions, then the minor shall be referred to a community based youth service agency for truancy intervention services. Provides that if the community based youth service agency is incapable or unwilling to provide intervention services, then this requirement for services is not applicable.
