SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Appeals of juvenile court decisions. Requires the circuit court, when practicable, to review the appeal of a juvenile court's transfer decision within 45 days after transfer from the juvenile court. The bill also requires the circuit court, when practicable, to hold a hearing on the merits of any appeal of a juvenile court finding of delinquency or disposition within 45 days of its filing, if the juvenile is in a secure facility pending appeal. A juvenile who has been held continuously in secure detention pending appeal is to be released if there is no hearing on the merits of his case within 45 days; however, the court may extend the time limit for good cause shown as documented in the case record.
