JUV CT-YOUTH RELEASE

Summary

The bill amends the Juvenile Court Act so that required court notifications do not block the Department of Juvenile Justice from using its release authority under the Unified Code of Corrections. If a youth is released early to after‑care, the department must file a report that meets the Act’s requirements and make reasonable efforts to get the youth to appear in court if needed. The change is meant to speed up releases while keeping the court informed.
