Summary
The law lets the State’s Attorney ask a judge to treat a juvenile 13 years or older accused of a felony as an extended‑jurisdiction case. A hearing is held where the judge evaluates the youth’s age, maturity, background and the seriousness of the crime before ordering both a juvenile sentence and a stayed adult sentence. The approach aims to protect public safety while still giving the young person a chance for rehabilitation.
