Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 4806

Amends the Safe Schools Law of the School Code and the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Changes the definition of "disruptive student" to include suspension or expulsion eligible students and students in any of grades 6 through 12 against whom juvenile or criminal proceedings alleging the commission of a forcible felony are pending or against whom juvenile or criminal proceedings alleging the commission of a sex offense are pending (instead of suspension or expulsion eligible students in any of grades 6 through 12). Provides that a student whom the school district has deemed to pose a continued and substantial disruption to the school environment may be immediately transferred to an alternative program. Provides that transfer to an alternative program shall take place only after a student is allowed to access the due process procedure established by the school district. Requires this process to include a notice presented to the student's parents or guardian stating the intent to transfer the student to an alternative program and an opportunity for the parents or guardian to respond. Provides that pending an adjudication of delinquency for the commission of a forcible felony or for the commission of a sex offense, the State's Attorney shall ascertain whether the minor respondent is enrolled in school and, if so, request permission of the presiding judge of the juvenile court to disclose to the principal or chief administrative officer of the school the portion of the juvenile petition or supplemental petition that is sufficient to bring the minor under the jurisdiction the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Effective immediately.
