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.
