IL HB5070

Reduces the trial timeline for minors with multiple delinquency petitions from 160 days to 120 days in the same county.

Adds new Section 5-602 establishing speedy trial requirements for detained minors: trial must be held within 30 calendar days of detention order, or no later than 45 calendar days, with a 70-day extension available for offenses involving death or great bodily harm.

Minors in detention are immediately released if trial timeline is not met, and general speedy trial requirements under Section 5-601 then apply.

Establishes tolling provisions that suspend the trial timeline for delays caused by the minor, incapacity determinations, interlocutory appeals, fitness examinations, and fitness hearings.

Clarifies that agreeing to continuances due to State's failure to complete discovery does not count as a delay caused by the minor, and the State must continue fulfilling its discovery obligations.
