Illinois's veterans courts rest on the Veterans and Servicemembers Court Treatment Act; see the Illinois entry. The Tenth Circuit's own site publishes no problem-solving court pages, so this entry rests on the County Board's packets. What the county's records say. The Public Safety and Justice Committee's packet of March 24, 2026: "Peoria County ARI also supports the three Problem-Solving Courts (Mental Health, Veterans, and Drug Court)... when an ARI-eligible individual needs supervision and intervention beyond what the problem-solving court provides, a referral can be made to ARI." The Public Defender's report of April 28, 2026 counts the specialty courts' participants and pending referrals: "As of 3-31-26, the pending referrals were as follows: Drug Court: 14, DUI Court: 9, Mental Health Court: 4, and Veteran's Court: 1." A defendant is evaluated before pleading in; "Some will plead into the program, some will not. If not, they will return to their originating criminal courts." How. Ask defence counsel or the Public Defender, (309) 495-4621; the Peoria County Courthouse is at 324 Main Street.
