Sec. 5-1089.
Youth service bureaus.
A county board may provide
for the establishment or maintenance, or may enter into
contractual agreements with other counties, townships or municipalities for
the establishment or maintenance of youth service bureaus, or may enter into
contractual agreements with established youth service bureaus, public or
private, serving the general area of the county. Such agreements shall be
written and shall provide for services to residents of the county under 18
years of age, but agencies providing such services to adults in addition to
youths may qualify as youth service bureaus. "Youth service bureau" means
any public or private agency providing, or arranging for the provision of,
assistance to persons referred to such bureau by law enforcement officials,
court agencies and other agencies and individuals with the intention of
diverting such persons from formal processes of the court. However, this
Section shall not be construed to amend, modify or have any effect on
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, as amended. For the purposes
of this Section, the county board is authorized to expend moneys not
appropriated for other purposes, including funds made available from the
federal "State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972". This Section shall
not constitute a limitation on or a prohibition of the exercise of powers
of a home rule county.
