It mandates that trials for minors with multiple petitions must occur within 120 days from the date a finding is rendered on the first petition. The bill also allows courts to extend detention periods under specific conditions, such as when DNA testing results are pending. If the State fails to obtain necessary DNA testing results but has exercised due diligence, the court may extend detention up to 70 days.
