Illinois SB2974 amends the Juvenile Court Act to establish community mediation programs for minors adjudicated delinquent.
Illinois SB2974 amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to establish community mediation programs designed to address juvenile delinquency. These programs provide citizen participation in dealing with delinquent acts at the community level. The goal is to make the juvenile understand the seriousness of their actions and the effect on their family, victim, and community. The bill allows the court or the State's Attorney to establish these programs, which can include referrals for community-based programs, counseling, community service, restitution, and other restrictions or sanctions.
