| Public Act 102-0164 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning courts.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by | ||||
changing Section 2-2 as follows:
| ||||
(705 ILCS 405/2-2) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-2)
| ||||
Sec. 2-2. Venue. | ||||
(1) Venue under this Article lies in the county where
the | ||||
minor resides or is found.
| ||||
(2) If proceedings are commenced in any county other than | ||||
that of the
minor's residence, the court in which the | ||||
proceedings were initiated may at
any time before or after | ||||
adjudication of wardship transfer the case to the
county of | ||||
the minor's residence by transmitting to the court in that | ||||
county
an authenticated copy of the court record, including | ||||
all documents,
petitions and orders filed therein, and the | ||||
minute orders and docket
entries of the court. Transfer in | ||||
like manner may be made in the event of a
change of residence | ||||
from one county to another of a minor concerning whom
| ||||
proceedings are pending. | ||||
(3) Not later than the 15th working day after the date an | ||||
order of transfer is entered, the clerk of the court | ||||
transferring a proceeding shall send to the clerk of the | ||||
receiving court in the county to which the transfer is being | ||
made an authenticated copy of the court record, including all | ||
documents, petitions, and orders filed therein, and the minute | ||
orders and docket entries of the court. The clerk of the | ||
receiving court shall set a status hearing within 10 business | ||
days of receipt of the case and shall notify the judge of the | ||
receiving court and all parties. | ||
(4) The receiving court shall review the court record | ||
immediately upon receipt. Within 20 business days of receipt | ||
of the record, the reviewing court shall send a notice to the | ||
transferring court indicating it has accepted the case and | ||
scheduled a status date. Until the transferring court receives | ||
this notice, it continues to have jurisdiction over the case. | ||
If for any reason the receiving court does not accept the | ||
transfer, the receiving court shall, within 20 business days | ||
of receiving the case, send a notice to the transferring court | ||
indicating its reasons. The transferring court shall continue | ||
its jurisdiction of the case and shall set the matter for | ||
status within 20 business days.
