(65 ILCS 5/11-5.2-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-5.2-2)
Sec. 11-5.2-2.
The corporate authorities of any municipality may provide
for the establishment or maintenance, or may enter into contractual agreements
with other townships, municipalities or counties 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 municipality. Such agreements shall be
written and shall provide for services to residents of the municipality
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, corporate
authorities are 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
municipality.
