HB4639 amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to allow either the court or the State's Attorney, or both, to establish community mediation programs.

The community mediation panels can refer minors to nonresidential programs, community counseling, community service, restitution, or substance abuse screening. The panels can also require minors to attend school or tutorial sessions and impose other restrictions to encourage responsible behavior.
