Summary

The bill obligates law‑enforcement agencies to inform the State's Attorney whenever a student becomes a suspect in specified offenses and again when the student is no longer a suspect. It also requires the State's Attorney to pass that information on to the local school superintendent or a designated designee. The goal is to create a clear, timely communication chain between police, prosecutors, and schools.
