(a) The truant officer, upon receiving the notice provided in section 1126 of this title, shall inquire into the cause of the nonattendance of the child. If he or she finds
that the child is absent without cause, the truant officer shall give written notice
to the person having the control of the child that the child is absent from school
without cause and shall also notify that person to cause the child to attend school
regularly thereafter.
(b) When, after receiving notice, a person fails, without legal excuse, to cause a child
to attend school as required by this chapter, he or she shall be fined not more than
$1,000.00 pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.
(c) The truant officer shall enter a complaint to the State’s Attorney of the county and
shall provide a statement of the evidence upon which the complaint is based. The State’s
Attorney shall prosecute the person. In the prosecution, the complaint, information,
or indictment shall be deemed sufficient if it states that the respondent (naming
the respondent) having the control of a child of school age (naming the child) neglects
to send that child to a public school or an approved or recognized independent school
or a home study program as required by law. (Amended 1981, No. 151 (Adj. Sess.), § 3; 1987, No. 97, § 6, eff. June 23, 1987; 1991, No. 24, § 11; 2013, No. 92 (Adj. Sess.), § 122, eff. Feb. 14, 2014; 2017, No. 93 (Adj. Sess.), § 15.)
