Violations of certain mandatory school attendance laws; penalty. Provides that individuals who violate certain compulsory school attendance laws are guilty of a misdemeanor and may be confined not more than 30 days or fined not more than $500 or both. Under current law, such individuals may be found guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor and fined not more than $500. The bill removes the requirement that second or subsequent offenders must have knowingly and willfully violated such compulsory school attendance laws to be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. The bill also permits judges to take cases involving first-time offenders of such compulsory school attendance laws under advisement and discharge the individual and dismiss the charges upon satisfaction of terms and conditions.

Mandatory school attendance laws, certain; violations, penalty.
