IL SB2017

Municipal ordinances regulating truants may no longer include fines or fees for violations or enforcement by citation; penalties for repeat violations by those 13 and older are limited to community service

School districts using school resource officers must establish a memorandum of understanding with local law enforcement that defines officer roles, prioritizes alternative discipline measures, requires training on restorative practices, and mandates data collection on citations disaggregated by demographics

Students are prohibited from being issued monetary fines or fees by any person as a disciplinary consequence, strengthening existing language from "may not be" to "is prohibited from being"

School personnel are prohibited from referring students to local public entities or law enforcement agencies to issue fines as disciplinary consequences, except when necessary to prevent imminent serious physical harm or as required by law

School districts cannot refer truants or their parents/guardians to local public entities for fines or fees as punishment for truancy, with "parent or guardian" explicitly added to the prohibition
