IL SB1935

Minors at least 16 years old charged with aggravated vehicular hijacking (under Criminal Code Section 18-4, subdivisions (a)(4), (a)(5), or (a)(6)) are excluded from juvenile court jurisdiction and prosecuted under criminal law.

Minors at least 16 years old charged with armed robbery (under Criminal Code Section 18-2, subdivisions (a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4)) are excluded from juvenile court jurisdiction and prosecuted under criminal law.

All charges arising out of the same incident as an excluded offense are prosecuted under criminal law, with limited exceptions if the State's Attorney files an information or indictment charging only lesser offenses before trial or plea.

When a minor is convicted of an excluded offense, the court must sentence under Section 5-4.5-105 of the Unified Code of Corrections rather than juvenile court sentencing provisions.

Minors under 18 years old excluded from juvenile court must be kept separate from confined adults during any confinement.
