Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that persons 17 years of age and older who have a petition of delinquency filed against them may be confined in an adult detention facility. Provides that in making a determination whether to confine a person 17 years of age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed against the person, these factors among other matters shall be considered: (1) the age of the person; (2) any previous delinquent or criminal history of the person; (3) any previous abuse or neglect history of the person; (4) any mental health history of the person; and (5) any educational history of the person. Provides that if the underlying offense is a misdemeanor, then only a person 18 years of age or older may be confined in an adult detention facility. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a juvenile detention home does not apply to persons 18 years of age and older (rather than 17 years of age and older) who have a petition of delinquency filed against them. Provides that these persons 18 years of age and older may be confined in an adult detention facility. Deletes provision that if the underlying offense is a misdemeanor, then only a person 18 years of age or older may be confined in an adult detention facility.
