Omnibus Juvenile justice changes
(Raoul, D-Chicago; Nekritz, D-Buffalo Grove) makes numerous changes to juvenile justice law and post-conviction procedures (“aftercare release”). Among those changes, it prohibits minors from being admitted to the Department of juvenile Justice unless they are found guilty of a felony or first-degree murder. Exempts from felony incarceration the following crimes: criminal trespass to a residence, criminal damage or defacement to property, disorderly conduct, or obstructing justice. Creates 28 mandatory conditions of aftercare release and numerous discretionary conditions that may be imposed. Passed both chambers.
