(750 ILCS 30/4) (from Ch. 40, par. 2204)
Sec. 4.
Jurisdiction.
The circuit court in the county where the minor
resides, is found, owns property, or in which a court action affecting the
interests of the minor is pending, may, upon the filing of a petition on
behalf of the minor by his next friend, parent or guardian and after any
hearing
or notice to all persons as set forth in Sections 7,
8, and 9 of this Act, enter
a finding that the minor is a mature minor or a homeless minor as defined
in this Act and order
complete or partial emancipation of the minor. The court in its order for
partial emancipation may specifically limit the rights
and responsibilities of the minor seeking emancipation. In the case
of a homeless minor, the court shall restrict the order of emancipation to
allowing the minor
to consent to the receipt of transitional services and shelter or housing from
a specified
youth transitional program and its referral agencies only.
