IL HB2889

Reduces speedy trial timeline for juvenile delinquency cases from 160 days to 120 days for cases with multiple pending petitions.

Creates new Section 5-602 establishing mandatory trial timeframes for detained minors: 30 calendar days after detention order, or 45 calendar days maximum, with up to 70 additional days allowed for cases involving death or great bodily harm.

Requires immediate release from detention if trial timeframes are not met, with speedy trial provisions under Section 5-601 then applying.

Tolls (pauses) trial deadlines for delays caused by minor's actions, incapacity determinations, interlocutory appeals, fitness examinations, and fitness hearings.

Clarifies that agreeing to continuances for incomplete state discovery does not count as delay by the minor, and requires state to continue discovery obligations even after trial demand.
