Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
New services for youth with nonviolent offenses
Beginning January 1, 2028, the Department of Juvenile Justice runs a program for youth under 18 adjudicated for nonviolent crimes. It offers mentoring, school support, job training, behavioral health and trauma care, and parent supports, including help applying for public health programs. Courts and probation can refer youth, and services are delivered by community agencies. The Department must post program and referral details by July 1, 2028, and report counts and services each year. The program does not supervise court-ordered conditions.
Fewer detentions and more help for young minors
From July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2027, minors age 12 or older may be detained when there is probable cause and an immediate urgent need. On or after July 1, 2027, a child under 13 may be detained only if charged with first degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery with a firearm, or aggravated vehicular hijacking; age 13 and older follow the probable-cause and urgent-need rule. Starting June 1, 2026, no child under 12 may be held in a county jail or municipal lockup for more than 6 hours. Before detaining a child under 13, a local youth service provider must be contacted and be unable to accept the child. Courts may use community mediation or other court-ordered services instead of detention for children under 13.
More oversight of juvenile detention practices
Starting June 1, 2026, probation and court services must send monthly reports to the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission when alternatives to detention failed or were not available. Reports must say why detention happened, which providers were contacted, and why alternatives were rejected, lacking, or denied. The law also creates the Child First Reform Task Force. Appointments are due within 90 days of June 1, 2026, it meets at least quarterly, and must publish a final report by January 1, 2029. The Task Force section ends on June 1, 2029.
Prosecutor input before release in serious cases
Beginning June 1, 2026, if an officer does not plan to detain a minor accused of listed serious crimes, the officer must consult the State's Attorney before release. This consultation is not required when a scorable detention screening tool developed with the State's Attorney’s input was used to make the detention decision.
