IL HB3548

Reduces the timeframe for adjudicating subsequent delinquency petitions against a minor from 160 days to 120 days after a finding on the first petition, with dismissal required if deadlines are not met

Requires trials for detained minors to be held within 30 calendar days of detention order, or no later than 45 calendar days, including time spent in DCFS custody; court may extend to 70 days for offenses involving death or great bodily harm

Creates new Section 5-602 establishing separate pretrial detention rules, clarifying that minors need not demand trial for detention time limits to apply

Specifies that agreeing to continuances due to the State's failure to complete discovery does not count as a delay caused by the minor for speedy trial purposes

Limits DNA testing continuances to 60 days (or 120 days for first degree murder or aggravated criminal sexual assault), and caps detention extensions for pending extended juvenile jurisdiction or transfer petitions at 30 days each
