Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 2605-355.

Delinquent minors; statewide central juvenile
records system.

To develop a separate statewide
central juvenile
records system for persons arrested prior to the age of 17 under Section 5-401
of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or
adjudicated delinquent minors and to make information available to
local law enforcement
officers so that law enforcement officers will be able to obtain rapid access
to the background of the minor from other jurisdictions to the end that the
juvenile police
officers can make appropriate decisions that will best serve the
interest of the child and the community.
 The Illinois State Police shall submit a quarterly report to the General Assembly and
Governor. The report shall contain the number of juvenile records
that the Illinois State Police 
has received in that quarter and a list, by category, of offenses that
minors were arrested for or convicted of by age, race, and gender.
