(705 ILCS 405/5-135)
Sec. 5-135. Venue.
(1) If the offense is committed either wholly or partly within the State of Illinois, venue under this Article lies in the county where the minor resides,
where the alleged violation or attempted violation of State
law or county or municipal ordinance occurred or in the county where
the order of the court, alleged to have been violated by the minor, was made
unless subsequent to the order the proceedings have been transferred to another
county.
(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 in that court, a copy of all reports prepared by the agency
providing services to the minor, 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.
