Summary
The bill adds a new section to the Juvenile Court Act that defines when a minor is unfit to stand trial, sets out how the issue can be raised, and requires evaluations and services to help the minor become fit. It applies to anyone under 21 who was under 18 at the time of the alleged offense. The aim is to align court practice with developmental science and protect minors' rights.
