IL SB3942

Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to clarify that court notification requirements do not prevent the Department of Juvenile Justice from exercising its release authority under the Unified Code of Corrections.

Requires the Department of Juvenile Justice to provide a compliant report to the court if a youth is released to aftercare supervision before the court-scheduled reporting date.

Mandates the Department make reasonable efforts to facilitate a youth's court appearance if the youth is released to aftercare supervision prior to a scheduled court date.

Establishes that a court setting a date after a youth's anticipated release from a Department facility does not block the Department from exercising its release authority.
