9 (a) Definition. A Any minor who is reported by a
10 regional superintendent of schools, in a county of less than
11 2,000,000 inhabitants, as a chronic truant (i) to whom
12 prevention, diagnostic, intervention and remedial services
13 and alternative programs and other school and community
14 resources have been provided and have failed to result in the
15 cessation of chronic truancy, or (ii) to whom such services,
16 programs and resources have been offered and have been
17 refused, shall be adjudged a truant minor in need of
18 supervision.
19 (a-1) There is a rebuttable presumption that a chronic
20 truant is a truant minor in need of supervision.
21 (a-2) There is a rebuttable presumption that school
22 records of a minor's attendance at school are authentic.
23 (a-3) For purposes of this Section, "chronic truant" has
24 the meaning ascribed to it in Section 26-2a of the School
25 Code.
26 (b) Kinds of dispositional orders. A minor found to be
27 a truant minor in need of supervision may be:
28 (1) committed to the appropriate regional
29 superintendent of schools for a multi-disciplinary case

2 educational plan or service plan as specifically provided by
3 the appropriate regional superintendent of schools;

15 privilege suspended.
16 A dispositional order may include a fine, public service,
17 or suspension of a driver's license or privilege only if the
18 court has made an express written finding that a truancy
19 prevention program has been offered by the school, regional
20 superintendent of schools, or a community social service
21 agency to the truant minor in need of supervision.
22 (c) Orders entered under this Section may be enforced by
