IL SB2981

Minors aged 10 or older arrested for vehicular hijacking or aggravated vehicular hijacking must be detained in an authorized detention facility until a detention or shelter care hearing is held

The court must determine probable cause that the minor is delinquent and that secure custody is necessary for protection, the minor is a flight risk, or the minor was taken into custody under a warrant

If the court makes this determination, the minor must remain detained until the disposition of an adjudicatory hearing under the Delinquent Minors Article

Previous findings of delinquency for vehicular hijacking or aggravated vehicular hijacking must be given greater weight when determining whether secure custody is necessary

Removes vehicular hijacking and aggravated vehicular hijacking from the list of offenses requiring State's Attorney consultation before release, replacing it with mandatory detention requirements
