SB 2117

Abstract

Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that a minor under 17 (rather than under 13) years of age at the time of the commission of an act that if committed by an adult would be a homicide or criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, criminal sexual abuse, or aggravated criminal sexual abuse must be represented by counsel during the entire custodial interrogation of the minor. Eliminates the limitation that the representation by counsel is only required in a proceeding under the Delinquent Minors Article of the Act.
