In plain language

The bill allows police to divert juvenile domestic violence offenders instead of arresting them.

This legislation modifies the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, enabling law enforcement to choose diversion for juvenile offenders instead of arrest. Officers can assist the juvenile and their family in finding alternative placements based on specific tools provided.

What this means for you
  • Families: This bill means families of juveniles accused of domestic violence may receive assistance in finding supportive resources.

Summary

Amends the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986. Provides that whenever a law enforcement officer has reason to believe a person is a victim under the Act from a family or household member, if the alleged offender is a juvenile, the officer may, based on the totality of the circumstances and using the abbreviated version of the Adolescent Domestic Battery Typology Tool created by the Kane County State's Attorney's Office, choose not to arrest the juvenile and instead may divert the juvenile or may assist the juvenile and the juvenile's family in finding alternative placement.
