IL SB2807

Minors age 15 or older arrested for aggravated vehicular hijacking must be detained in an authorized detention facility until a detention or shelter care hearing is held.

The court must determine at the hearing whether there is probable cause that the minor is delinquent and whether secure custody is necessary for protection, the minor is likely to flee, or the minor was taken into custody under a warrant.

If the court makes that determination, the minor continues to be held until disposition of the adjudicatory hearing.

Previous findings of delinquency for vehicular hijacking or aggravated vehicular hijacking receive greater weight when determining whether secure custody is necessary for protection of the minor or others' person or property.

Removes aggravated vehicular hijacking from the list of offenses requiring consultation with the State's Attorney before release when a probation or detention officer does not intend to detain a minor for those offenses.
