SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
See Index

    Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that if a minor is found to be guilty of a non-violent crime, the court shall first consider home confinement or an alternative sentence instead of: (i) incarceration in a facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice or (ii) confinement in a juvenile detention home. Provides that the court shall order a conference to be held to determine the alternative sentencing plan. Provides that the conference shall be held with representatives of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Department of Children and Family Services, the prosecutor of the minor, the court, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and the parent or legal guardian of the minor. Based upon recommendations made at the conference, the court shall order an alternative sentencing plan that meets the needs of the minor and leads the minor toward useful and non-criminal activities. Provides that the court may commit the minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice or place the minor in detention if the minor violates the terms and conditions of the home confinement or alternative sentence or if the family or household situation presents a danger to the minor that makes home confinement infeasible. Defines "non-violent crime" as an offense that is not a violent crime as defined in the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act and that is not a violation of the Dangerous Weapons Article of the Criminal Code of 2012 involving the illegal possession or use of a firearm.

17        shall not be deprived of credit for time spent in
18        detention before the filing of a violation of probation
19        or conditional discharge alleging the same or related

21        be placed in a juvenile detention home does not apply
22        as follows:

11penalty that the court may impose for a violation of subsection
12(a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the

12    punishable as provided for a first violation.
13    (13) If a minor is found to be guilty of a non-violent
14crime, the court shall first consider home confinement or other
15alternative sentence instead of: (i) incarceration in a
16facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice or (ii)
17confinement in a juvenile detention home. The court shall order
18a conference to be held to determine the alternative sentencing
19plan. The conference shall be held with representatives of the

1the minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice or place the
2minor in a juvenile detention home if the minor violates the
3terms and conditions of the alternative sentence or if the

5that makes home confinement infeasible. For the purposes of
6this Section,"non-violent crime" means an offense that is not a
7violent crime as defined in Section 3 of the Rights of Crime
8Victims and Witnesses Act and that is not a violation of
9Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 2012 involving the illegal
