SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
705 ILCS 405/5-505

    Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that, if a minor is charged with the commission of a delinquent act and if the court has made a probable cause determination, then the court must conduct a hearing and must order the minor to take certain actions, but authorizes (and does not require) the court to order the minor to take other actions. (Now, if a minor is charged with the commission of a delinquent act, a court is authorized (but not required) to conduct a hearing and is authorized (but not required) to order the minor to take certain actions.)
