7 is to revise the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois by
8 renumbering and rearranging the provisions of that Code,
9 making only nonsubstantive changes.
10 Section 1-10. Prior law.
11 (a) A provision added to the Civil Administrative Code
12 of Illinois by this amendatory Act that is the same or
13 substantially the same as a prior law shall be construed as a
14 continuation of the prior law and not as a new or different
15 law.
16 (b) A citation in an Act other than the Civil
17 Administrative Code of Illinois to a Section of that Code
18 that is renumbered and continued in that Code by this
19 amendatory Act shall be construed to be a citation to that
20 renumbered and continued provision in that Code.
21 (c) The following provision duplicates another provision
22 of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois that is
23 renumbered and continued in that Code, and the following
24 provision is therefore repealed without being continued in
25 the Code: Section 46.20 of the Civil Administrative Code of
26 Illinois (20 ILCS 605/46.20).
27 Section 1-15. Other Acts of the General Assembly. If any
28 other Act of the General Assembly changes, adds, or repeals a
29 provision of prior law that is renumbered and continued in
-2- LRB9000008DJcc
1 the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois by this amendatory
2 Act, then that change, addition, or repeal in the other Act
3 shall be construed together with the Civil Administrative
4 Code of Illinois as amended by this amendatory Act.
5 Section 1-20. Matters of form.
6 (a) The parenthetic citation before a new Article
7 heading or new Section in the Form "(XX ILCS XX/Art. XX
8 heading new)" or "(XX ILCS XX/XX new)" (i) is an
9 informational reference to the citation of the new Article
10 heading or new Section in the Illinois Compiled Statutes and
11 (ii) is not part of the text of the law.
12 (b) The parenthetic citation before a new Section in the
13 form "(was XX ILCS XX/XX)" (i) is an informational reference

16 (c) In the text of a new Section, (i) matter that is

20 is to clearly indicate all changes to prior laws that are

29 (a) Appropriations for the direct and allocable indirect
30 costs of licensing and regulating each regulated profession,
31 trade, or occupation are intended to be payable from the fees
-273- LRB9000008DJcc
1 and fines that are assessed and collected from that
2 profession, trade, or occupation, to the extent that those
3 fees and fines are sufficient. In any fiscal year in which
4 the fees and fines generated by a specific profession, trade,
5 or occupation are insufficient to finance the necessary
6 direct and allocable indirect costs of licensing and
7 regulating that profession, trade, or occupation, the
8 remainder of those costs shall be financed from
9 appropriations payable from revenue sources other than fees
10 and fines. The direct and allocable indirect costs of the
11 Department identified in its cost allocation plans that are
12 not attributable to the licensing and regulation of a
13 specific profession, trade, or occupation or group of
14 professions, trades, or occupations shall be financed from
15 appropriations from revenue sources other than fees and
16 fines.
17 (b) The Professions Indirect Cost Fund is hereby created
18 as a special fund in the State Treasury. The Fund may
19 receive transfers of moneys authorized by the Department of
20 Professional Regulation from the cash balances in special
21 funds that receive revenues from the fees and fines
22 associated with the licensing of regulated professions,
23 trades, and occupations by the Department. Moneys in the
24 Fund shall be invested and earnings on the investments shall
25 be retained in the Fund. Subject to appropriation, the
26 Department shall use moneys in the Fund to pay the ordinary
27 and necessary allocable indirect expenses associated with
28 each of the regulated professions, trades, and occupations.
29 (c) Before the beginning of each fiscal year, the
30 Department shall prepare a cost allocation analysis to be
31 used in establishing the necessary appropriation levels for
32 each cost purpose and revenue source. At the conclusion of
33 each fiscal year, the Department shall prepare a cost
34 allocation analysis reflecting the extent of the variation
-274- LRB9000008DJcc
1 between how the costs were actually financed in that year and
2 the planned cost allocation for that year. Variations
3 between the planned and actual cost allocations for the prior
4 fiscal year shall be adjusted into the Department's planned
5 cost allocation for the next fiscal year.
6 Each cost allocation analysis shall separately identify
7 the direct and allocable indirect costs of each regulated
8 profession, trade, or occupation and the costs of the
9 Department's general public health and safety purposes. The
10 analyses shall determine whether the direct and allocable
11 indirect costs of each regulated profession, trade, or
12 occupation and the costs of the Department's general public
13 health and safety purposes are sufficiently financed from
14 their respective funding sources. The Department shall
15 prepare the cost allocation analyses in consultation with the
16 respective regulated professions, trades, and occupations and
17 shall make copies of the analyses available to them in a
18 timely fashion.
19 (d) The Department may direct the State Comptroller and
20 Treasurer to transfer moneys from the special funds that
21 receive fees and fines associated with regulated professions,
22 trades, and occupations into the Professions Indirect Cost
23 Fund in accordance with the Department's cost allocation
24 analysis plan for the applicable fiscal year. For a given
25 fiscal year, the Department shall not direct the transfer of
26 moneys under this subsection from a special fund associated
27 with a specific regulated profession, trade, or occupation
28 (or group of professions, trades, or occupations) in an
29 amount exceeding the allocable indirect costs associated with
30 that profession, trade, or occupation (or group of
31 professions, trades, or occupations) as provided in the cost
32 allocation analysis for that fiscal year and adjusted for
33 allocation variations from the prior fiscal year. No direct
34 costs identified in the cost allocation plan shall be used as
-275- LRB9000008DJcc
1 a basis for transfers into the Professions Indirect Cost Fund
2 or for expenditures from the Fund.

18 The General Assembly finds that substantial areas of rural
19 Illinois lack adequate access to obstetrical care. The
20 primary cause of this problem is the absence of qualified
21 practitioners who are willing to offer obstetrical services.
22 A significant barrier to recruiting and retaining those
23 practitioners is the high cost of professional liability
24 insurance for practitioners offering obstetrical care.
25 Therefore, the Department, from funds appropriated for
26 that purpose, shall award grants to physicians practicing
27 obstetrics in rural designated shortage areas, as defined in
28 Section 3.04 of the Family Practice Residency Act, for the
29 purpose of reimbursing those physicians for the costs of
30 obtaining malpractice insurance relating to obstetrical
31 services. The Department shall establish reasonable
32 conditions, standards, and duties relating to the application
33 for and receipt of the grants.

27 Program.
28 (a) The Illinois General Assembly finds and declares the
29 following:
30 (1) There is a growing number of 2-year-old
31 children who have not received the necessary childhood
32 immunizations to prevent communicable diseases.
33 (2) The reasons these children do not receive
-297- LRB9000008DJcc
1 immunizations are many and varied. These reasons
2 include, but are not limited to, the following:
3 (A) Their parents live in poverty and do not
4 have access to insurance coverage for health care
5 and immunizations.
6 (B) Their parents come from non-English
7 speaking cultures where the importance of early
8 childhood immunizations has not been emphasized.
9 (C) Their parents do not receive adequate
10 referral to immunization programs or do not have
11 access to public immunization programs through other
12 public assistance services.
13 (3) (D) The percentage of fully immunized
14 African-American and Hispanic 2-year-old children is
15 significantly less than that for Whites.
16 (4) (E) The ages of concern that remain are infancy
17 and preschool, especially for those children at high risk
18 because of a medical condition or because of social and
19 environmental factors.
20 (5) (F) Ensuring protective levels of immunization
21 against communicable disease for these children is the
22 most historically proven cost-effective preventive
23 measure available to public health agencies.
24 (6) (3) It is the intent of the General Assembly to
25 establish an immunization outreach program to respond to
26 this problem.
27 (b) The Department, of Public Health in cooperation with
28 county, multiple county, and municipal health departments,
29 may establish permanent, temporary, or mobile sites for
30 immunizing children or referring parents to other programs
31 that provide immunizations and comprehensive health services.
32 These sites may include, but are not limited to, the
33 following:
34 (1) Public places where parents of children at high
-298- LRB9000008DJcc
1 risk of remaining unimmunized reside, shop, worship, or
2 recreate.
3 (2) School grounds, either during regular hours,
4 evening hours, or on weekends.
5 (3) Places on or adjacent to sites of public or
6 community-based agencies or programs that either provide
7 or refer persons to public assistance programs or
8 services.
9 (c) Outreach programs shall, to the extent feasible,
10 include referral components intended to link immunized
11 children with available public or private primary care
12 providers to increase access to continuing pediatric care
13 including subsequent immunization services.
14 (d) The population to be targeted by the programs
15 program shall include children who do not receive
16 immunizations through private third-party sources or other
17 public sources with priority given to infants and children
18 from birth up to age 3. Outreach programs shall provide
19 information to the families of children being immunized about
20 possible reactions to the vaccine and about follow-up
21 referral sources.

13 abuse and neglect.
14 (a) The Department of Public Health, in cooperation with
15 the Department of Children and Family Services, the Illinois
16 Department of Public Aid, and other related State and
17 community agencies, shall convene a steering committee to
18 develop a plan to implement a Healthy Families statewide
19 initiative to prevent the occurrence of child abuse and
20 neglect and to promote positive child health and development.
21 The program shall be based on the Healthy Families America
22 model of a voluntary program to identify at-risk families who
23 are confronted with a significant number of elements that
24 could lead to child abuse and neglect and to offer help
25 before any incidence occurs.
26 (b) The goals of the Healthy Families Initiative shall
27 include the following:
28 (1) Strengthening family functioning.
29 (2) Enhancing child development.
30 (3) Promoting positive parenting.
31 (4) Enhancing parent-child interaction.
32 (5) Ensuring primary health care for all families.
33 (6) Ensuring appropriate use of health and
-300- LRB9000008DJcc
1 community resources in providing prevention services and
2 the promotion of positive child health and development.
3 (c) The steering committee may review similar programs
4 operating in other states. The Initiative must provide a
5 comprehensive, coordinated program of prevention services for
6 infants and young children through a voluntary home visitor
7 program for new parents and their children. The plan shall
8 utilize and may expand existing programs and services
9 currently operating in the State. Where there are no
10 existing services, the Department may authorize the
11 development of new local programs, which incorporate the
12 proven critical elements contained in the Healthy Families
13 America model. The programs shall include an evaluation
14 component. The Department is authorized to contract for the
15 study. The Department may provide, by grant or contract,
16 support to a statewide child abuse prevention organization
17 for the development and implementation of the Healthy
18 Families initiative and evaluation. Funds for the Healthy
19 Families initiative shall be sought from the federal
20 government and State human service code departments. Private
21 sponsorship may also be sought.
22 (d) The steering committee shall inventory State and
23 local resources providing relevant home visitation services
24 to families and evaluate how these resources may be included
25 in a statewide Healthy Families implementation plan. This
26 may result in renaming current programs and bringing them
27 into compliance with the requirements of the Healthy Families
28 America model to create a comprehensive statewide system that
29 can be effectively monitored and evaluated.
30 (e) The Department shall report to the Governor and
31 General Assembly on the Healthy Families initiative plan and
32 submit recommendations by January 1, 1995.

23 environmental costs associated with the loss of a particular
24 rail freight service in a manner less expensive than
25 continuing that rail freight service. To facilitate the

2 have the power to enter into agreements to loan or grant
3 State funds to any railroad, unit of local government, rail
4 user, or owner or lessee of a railroad right of way to
5 rehabilitate, improve, or construct rail facilities.
6 For each project proposed for funding under this Section
7 the Department shall, to the extent possible, give preference
8 to cost effective projects that which facilitate continuation
9 of existing rail freight service. In the exercise of its
10 powers under this Section, the Department shall coordinate
11 its program with the industrial retention and attraction
12 programs of the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs.
13 No funds provided under this Section shall be expended for
14 the acquisition of a right of way or rolling stock or for
15 operating subsidies. The costs of a project funded under
16 this Section shall be apportioned in accordance with the
17 agreement of the parties for the project. Projects are
18 eligible for a loan or grant under this Section only when the

20 public benefits associated with a project are greater than
21 the capital costs of that project incurred by all parties to
22 the agreement and that the such project would not have
23 occurred without its participation. In addition, a project
24 to be eligible for assistance under this Section must be
25 included in a State plan for rail transportation and local
26 rail service prepared by the Department. The Department may
27 also expend State funds for professional engineering services
28 to conduct feasibility studies of projects proposed for
29 funding under this Section, to estimate the costs and
30 material requirements for those such projects, to provide for
31 the design of those such projects, including plans and
32 specifications, and to conduct investigations to ensure
33 compliance with the project agreements.
34 The Department, acting through the Department of Central
-407- LRB9000008DJcc
1 Management Services, shall also have the power to let
2 contracts for the purchase of railroad materials and
3 supplies. The Department shall also have the power to let
4 contracts for the rehabilitation, improvement, or
5 construction of rail facilities. Any such contract shall be
6 let, after due public advertisement, to the lowest
7 responsible bidder or bidders, upon terms and conditions to
8 be fixed by the Department. With regard to rehabilitation,
9 improvement, or construction contracts, the Department shall
10 also require the successful bidder or bidders to furnish good
11 and sufficient bonds to ensure proper and prompt completion
12 of the such work in accordance with the provisions of the
13 such contracts.
14 In the case of an agreement under which State funds are
15 loaned under this Section, the agreement shall provide the
16 terms and conditions of repayment. The agreement shall
17 provide for the such security that as the Department shall
18 determine to protect the State's interest. The funds may be
19 loaned with or without interest. Loaned funds that which are
20 repaid to the Department shall be deposited in a special fund
21 in the State treasury to be known as the "State Rail Freight
22 Loan Repayment Fund". In the case of repaid funds deposited
23 in the State Rail Freight Loan Repayment Fund, the Department
24 shall, subject to appropriation, have the reuse of those
25 funds and the interest accrued thereon, which shall also be
26 deposited by the State Treasurer in the such Fund, as the
27 State share in other eligible projects under this Section.
28 However, no expenditures from the State Rail Freight Loan
29 Repayment Fund for those such projects shall at any time
30 exceed the total sum of funds repaid and deposited in the
31 State Rail Freight Loan Repayment Fund and interest earned by
32 investment by the State Treasurer which the State Treasurer
33 shall have deposited in that Fund.
34 For the purposes of promoting efficient rail freight

2 to railroads, units of local government or rail users, or
3 owners or lessees of railroad rights-of-way.

5 or appropriate to protect the State's interest in the event
6 of bankruptcy, default, foreclosure, or noncompliance with
7 the terms and conditions of financial assistance or
8 participation provided hereunder, including the power to
9 sell, dispose, lease, or rent, upon terms and conditions
10 determined by the Secretary to be appropriate, real or
11 personal property that which the Department may receive as a
12 result thereof.

31 respect to the service, consistent with any contracts
32 for the service; and
33 (10) to otherwise enter into any contracts
34 necessary or convenient to provide the service.
-410- LRB9000008DJcc
1 (c) All service provided under this Section shall be
2 exempt from all regulations by the Illinois Commerce
3 Commission (other than for safety matters). To the extent the
4 service is provided by the Commuter Rail Division of the
5 Regional Transportation Authority (or a public corporation on
6 behalf of that Division), it shall be exempt from safety
7 regulations of the Illinois Commerce Commission to the extent
8 the Commuter Rail Division adopts its own safety regulations.
9 (d) In connection with any powers exercised under this
10 Section, the Department:
11 (1) shall not have the power of eminent domain; and
12 (2) shall not itself become the owner of railroad
13 locomotives or other rolling stock, or directly operate
14 any railroad service with its own employees.
15 (e) Any contract with the Commuter Rail Division of the
16 Regional Transportation Authority (or a public corporation on
17 behalf of the Division) under this Section shall provide that
18 all costs in excess of revenue received by the Division
19 generated from intercity rail service provided by the
20 Division shall be fully borne by the Department, and no funds
21 for operation of commuter rail service shall be used,
22 directly or indirectly, or for any period of time, to
23 subsidize the intercity rail operation. If at any time the
24 Division does not have sufficient funds available to satisfy

26 forthwith terminate the operation of intercity rail service.
27 The payments made by the Department to the Division for the
28 intercity rail passenger service shall not be made in excess
29 of those costs or as a subsidy for costs of commuter rail
30 operations. This shall not prevent the contract from
31 providing for efficient coordination of service and
32 facilities to promote cost effective operations of both
33 intercity rail passenger service and commuter rail services
34 with cost allocations as provided in this paragraph.

23 for children 18 years of age and older and for
24 children under 18 years of age.
25 (b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
26 authorize the expenditure of public funds for the purpose of
27 performing abortions.
28 (c) The Department shall establish and maintain
29 tax-supported child welfare services and extend and seek to
30 improve voluntary services throughout the State, to the end
31 that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
32 throughout the State to children requiring such services.
33 (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for
34 any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
-435- LRB9000008DJcc
1 Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement,
2 the contractor must post a surety bond in the amount of the
3 advance disbursement and have a purchase of service contract
4 approved by the Department. The Department may pay up to 2
5 months operational expenses in advance. The amount of the
6 advance disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the
7 contract or the remaining months of the fiscal year,
8 whichever is less, and the installment amount shall then be
9 deducted from future bills. Advance disbursement
10 authorizations for new initiatives shall not be made to any
11 agency after that agency has operated during 2 consecutive
12 fiscal years. The requirements of this Section concerning
13 advance disbursements shall not apply with respect to the
14 following: payments to local public agencies for child day
15 care services as authorized by Section 5a of this Act; and
16 youth service programs receiving grant funds under Section
17 17a-4.
18 (e) (Blank).
19 (f) (Blank).
20 (g) The Department shall establish rules and regulations
21 concerning its operation of programs designed to meet the
22 goals of child protection, family preservation, family
23 reunification, and adoption, including but not limited to:
24 (1) adoption;
25 (2) foster care;
26 (3) family counseling;
27 (4) protective services;
28 (5) (blank);
29 (6) homemaker service;
30 (7) return of runaway children;

33 Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28, 4-25 or 5-29 of the
34 Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal
-436- LRB9000008DJcc
1 Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
2 (10) interstate services.
3 Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
4 include provisions for training Department staff and the
5 staff of Department grantees, through contracts with other
6 agencies or resources, in alcohol and drug abuse screening
7 techniques to identify children and adults who should be
8 referred to an alcohol and drug abuse treatment program for
9 professional evaluation.
10 (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
11 program or facility within or available to the Department for
12 a ward and that no licensed private facility has an adequate
13 and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the ward,
14 the Department shall create an appropriate individualized,
15 program-oriented plan for such ward. The plan may be
16 developed within the Department or through purchase of
17 services by the Department to the extent that it is within
18 its statutory authority to do.
19 (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
20 State and shall include but not be limited to the following
21 services:
22 (1) case management;
23 (2) homemakers;
24 (3) counseling;
25 (4) parent education;
26 (5) day care; and
27 (6) emergency assistance and advocacy.
28 In addition, the following services may be made available
29 to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
30 (1) comprehensive family-based services;
31 (2) assessments;
32 (3) respite care; and
33 (4) in-home health services.
34 The Department shall provide transportation for any of
-437- LRB9000008DJcc
1 the services it makes available to children or families or
2 for which it refers children or families.
3 (j) The Department may provide financial assistance, and
4 shall establish rules and regulations concerning such
5 assistance, to persons who adopt physically or mentally
6 handicapped, older and other hard-to-place children who
7 immediately prior to their adoption were legal wards of the
8 Department. The Department may also provide financial
9 assistance, and shall establish rules and regulations for
10 such assistance, to persons appointed guardian of the person
11 under Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27,
12 3-28, 4-25 or 5-29 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for
13 children who were wards of the Department for 12 months
14 immediately prior to the appointment of the successor
15 guardian and for whom the Department has set a goal of
16 permanent family placement with a foster family.
17 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the
18 needs of the child and the adoptive parents, but must be at
19 least $25 less than the monthly cost of care of the child in
20 a foster home, as set forth in the annual assistance
21 agreement. Special purpose grants are allowed where the
22 child requires special service but such costs may not exceed
23 the amounts which similar services would cost the Department
24 if it were to provide or secure them as guardian of the
25 child.
26 Any financial assistance provided under this subsection
27 is inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
28 garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection
29 of a judgment or debt.
30 (k) The Department shall accept for care and training
31 any child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
32 dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
33 or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
34 (l) Before July 1, 2000, the Department may provide, and
-438- LRB9000008DJcc
1 beginning July 1, 2000, the Department shall provide, family
2 preservation services, as determined to be appropriate and in
3 the child's best interests and when the child will not be in
4 imminent risk of harm, to any family whose child has been
5 placed in substitute care, any persons who have adopted a
6 child and require post-adoption services, or any persons
7 whose child or children are at risk of being placed outside
8 their home as documented by an "indicated" report of
9 suspected child abuse or neglect determined pursuant to the
10 Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Nothing in this
11 paragraph shall be construed to create a private right of
12 action or claim on the part of any individual or child
13 welfare agency.
14 The Department shall notify the child and his family of
15 the Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
16 preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
17 child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon
18 as the report is determined to be "indicated". The
19 Department may offer services to any child or family with
20 respect to whom a report of suspected child abuse or neglect
21 has been filed, prior to concluding its investigation under
22 Section 7.12 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
23 However, the child's or family's willingness to accept
24 services shall not be considered in the investigation. The
25 Department may also provide services to any child or family
26 who is the subject of any report of suspected child abuse or
27 neglect or may refer such child or family to services
28 available from other agencies in the community, even if the
29 report is determined to be unfounded, if the conditions in
30 the child's or family's home are reasonably likely to subject
31 the child or family to future reports of suspected child
32 abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such services shall be
33 voluntary.
34 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
-439- LRB9000008DJcc
1 children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
2 care and training any child who has been adjudicated
3 addicted, as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a
4 minor requiring authoritative intervention, under the
5 Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no
6 such child shall be committed to the Department by any court
7 without the approval of the Department. A minor charged with
8 a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or
9 adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
10 or committed to the Department by any court, except a minor
11 less than 13 years of age committed to the Department under
12 Section 5-23 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
13 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
14 child if:
15 (1) it has received a written consent to such
16 temporary custody signed by the parents of the child or
17 by the parent having custody of the child if the parents
18 are not living together or by the guardian or custodian
19 of the child if the child is not in the custody of either
20 parent, or
21 (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
22 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be
23 located.
24 If the child is found in his or her residence without a
25 parent, guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the
26 Department may, instead of removing the child and assuming
27 temporary custody, place an authorized representative of the
28 Department in that residence until such time as a parent,
29 guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses a
30 willingness and apparent ability to resume permanent charge
31 of the child, or until a relative enters the home and is
32 willing and able to assume charge of the child until a
33 parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
34 such willingness and ability to resume permanent charge.
-440- LRB9000008DJcc
1 After a caretaker has remained in the home for a period not
2 to exceed 12 hours, the Department must follow those
3 procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8 or 5-9 of the
4 Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
5 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
6 and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
7 pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile
8 Court Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary
9 custody pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
10 Neglected Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and
11 acceptance under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in
12 limited custody, the Department, during the period of
13 temporary custody and before the child is brought before a
14 judicial officer as required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8 or 5-9
15 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority,
16 responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian of the
17 child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the
18 Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
19 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
20 custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
21 examination.
22 A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the
23 temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
24 the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
25 Department may deliver to the Department a signed request
26 that the Department surrender the temporary custody of the
27 child. The Department may retain temporary custody of the
28 child for 10 days after the receipt of the request, during
29 which period the Department may cause to be filed a petition
30 pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is
31 so filed, the Department shall retain temporary custody of
32 the child until the court orders otherwise. If a petition is
33 not filed within the 10 day period, the child shall be
34 surrendered to the custody of the requesting parent, guardian
-441- LRB9000008DJcc
1 or custodian not later than the expiration of the 10 day
2 period, at which time the authority and duties of the
3 Department with respect to the temporary custody of the child
4 shall terminate.
5 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
6 age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
7 the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
8 preservation have been unsuccessful or unavailable and such
9 placement would be for their best interest. Payment for
10 board, clothing, care, training and supervision of any child
11 placed in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
12 Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of
13 those children, or by both the Department and the parents or
14 guardians, except that no payments shall be made by the
15 Department for any child placed in a licensed child care
16 facility for board, clothing, care, training and supervision
17 of such a child that exceed the average per capita cost of
18 maintaining and of caring for a child in institutions for
19 dependent or neglected children operated by the Department.
20 However, such restriction on payments does not apply in cases
21 where children require specialized care and treatment for
22 problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical
23 disability, social adjustment, or any combination thereof and
24 suitable facilities for the placement of such children are
25 not available at payment rates within the limitations set
26 forth in this Section. All reimbursements for services
27 delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by assignment,
28 sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
29 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
30 review and appeal process for children and families who
31 request or receive child welfare services from the
32 Department. Children who are wards of the Department and are
33 placed by private child welfare agencies, and foster families
34 with whom those children are placed, shall be afforded the
-442- LRB9000008DJcc
1 same procedural and appeal rights as children and families in
2 the case of placement by the Department, including the right
3 to an initial review of a private agency decision by that
4 agency. The Department shall insure that any private child
5 welfare agency, which accepts wards of the Department for
6 placement, affords those rights to children and foster
7 families. The Department shall accept for administrative
8 review and an appeal hearing a complaint made by a child or
9 foster family concerning a decision following an initial
10 review by a private child welfare agency. An appeal of a
11 decision concerning a change in the placement of a child
12 shall be conducted in an expedited manner.
13 (p) There is hereby created the Department of Children
14 and Family Services Emergency Assistance Fund from which the
15 Department may provide special financial assistance to
16 families which are in economic crisis when such assistance is
17 not available through other public or private sources and the
18 assistance is deemed necessary to prevent dissolution of the
19 family unit or to reunite families which have been separated
20 due to child abuse and neglect. The Department shall
21 establish administrative rules specifying the criteria for
22 determining eligibility for and the amount and nature of
23 assistance to be provided. The Department may also enter
24 into written agreements with private and public social
25 service agencies to provide emergency financial services to
26 families referred by the Department. Special financial
27 assistance payments shall be available to a family no more
28 than once during each fiscal year and the total payments to a
29 family may not exceed $500 during a fiscal year.
30 (q) The Department may receive and use, in their
31 entirety, for the benefit of children any gift, donation or
32 bequest of money or other property which is received on
33 behalf of such children, or any financial benefits to which
34 such children are or may become entitled while under the
-443- LRB9000008DJcc
1 jurisdiction or care of the Department.
2 The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
3 interest-bearing savings accounts in appropriate financial
4 institutions ("individual accounts") for children for whom
5 the Department is legally responsible and who have been
6 determined eligible for Veterans' Benefits, Social Security
7 benefits, assistance allotments from the armed forces, court
8 ordered payments, parental voluntary payments, Supplemental
9 Security Income, Railroad Retirement payments, Black Lung
10 benefits, or other miscellaneous payments. Interest earned
11 by each individual account shall be credited to the account,
12 unless disbursed in accordance with this subsection.
13 In disbursing funds from children's individual accounts,
14 the Department shall:
15 (1) Establish standards in accordance with State
16 and federal laws for disbursing money from children's
17 individual accounts. In all circumstances, the
18 Department's "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her
19 designee must approve disbursements from children's
20 individual accounts. The Department shall be responsible
21 for keeping complete records of all disbursements for
22 each individual account for any purpose.
23 (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid
24 from State funds for the child's board and care, medical
25 care not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
26 utilize funds from the child's individual account, as
27 covered by regulation, to reimburse those costs.
28 Monthly, disbursements from all children's individual
29 accounts, up to 1/12 of $13,000,000, shall be deposited
30 by the Department into the General Revenue Fund and the
31 balance over 1/12 of $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's
32 Services Fund.
33 (3) Maintain any balance remaining after
34 reimbursing for the child's costs of care, as specified
-444- LRB9000008DJcc
1 in item (2). The balance shall accumulate in accordance
2 with relevant State and federal laws and shall be
3 disbursed to the child or his or her guardian, or to the
4 issuing agency.
5 (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
6 encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to
7 the Department or its agent names and addresses of all
8 persons who have applied for and have been approved for
9 adoption of a hard-to-place or handicapped child and the
10 names of such children who have not been placed for adoption.
11 A list of such names and addresses shall be maintained by the
12 Department or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
13 confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
14 of the child shall be made available, without charge, to
15 every adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in
16 placing such children for adoption. The Department may
17 delegate to an agent its duty to maintain and make available
18 such lists. The Department shall ensure that such agent
19 maintains the confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt
20 the child and of the child.
21 (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
22 establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
23 private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
24 Department of Children and Family Services for damages
25 sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious
26 or negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing
27 third party coverage for such foster parents with regard to
28 actions of foster children to other individuals. Such
29 coverage will be secondary to the foster parent liability
30 insurance policy, if applicable. The program shall be funded
31 through appropriations from the General Revenue Fund,
32 specifically designated for such purposes.
33 (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
34 investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
-445- LRB9000008DJcc
1 as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
2 Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
3 (1) an order entered by an Illinois court
4 specifically directs the Department to perform such
5 services; and
6 (2) the court has ordered one or both of the
7 parties to the proceeding to reimburse the Department for
8 its reasonable costs for providing such services in
9 accordance with Department rules, or has determined that
10 neither party is financially able to pay.
11 The Department shall provide written notification to the
12 court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
13 and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court
14 order. The Department shall send to the court information
15 related to the costs incurred except in cases where the court
16 has determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The
17 court may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
18 (u) Whenever the Department places a child in a licensed
19 foster home, group home, child care institution, or in a
20 relative home, the Department shall provide to the caretaker:
21 (1) available detailed information concerning the
22 child's educational and health history, copies of
23 immunization records (including insurance and medical
24 card information), a history of the child's previous
25 placements, if any, and reasons for placement changes
26 excluding any information that identifies or reveals the
27 location of any previous caretaker;
28 (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client
29 service plan, including any visitation arrangement, and
30 all amendments or revisions to it as related to the
31 child; and
32 (3) information containing details of the child's
33 individualized educational plan when the child is
34 receiving special education services.
-446- LRB9000008DJcc
1 The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or
2 behavioral information (including, but not limited to, fire
3 setting, perpetuation of sexual abuse, destructive behavior,
4 and substance abuse) necessary to care for and safeguard the
5 child.
6 (u-5) Effective July 1, 1995, only foster care
7 placements licensed as foster family homes pursuant to the
8 Child Care Act of 1969 shall be eligible to receive foster
9 care payments from the Department. Relative caregivers who,
10 as of July 1, 1995, were approved pursuant to approved
11 relative placement rules previously promulgated by the
12 Department at 89 Ill. Adm. Code 335 and had submitted an
13 application for licensure as a foster family home may
14 continue to receive foster care payments only until the
15 Department determines that they may be licensed as a foster
16 family home or that their application for licensure is denied
17 or until September 30, 1995, whichever occurs first.
18 (v) The Department shall access criminal history record
19 information as defined in the Illinois Uniform Conviction
20 Information Act and information maintained in the
21 adjudicatory and dispositional record system as defined in
22 subdivision (A)19 of Section 100-355 55a of the Department of
23 State Police Law (20 ILCS 2605/100-355) Civil Administrative
24 Code of Illinois if the Department determines the information
25 is necessary to perform its duties under the Abused and
26 Neglected Child Reporting Act, the Child Care Act of 1969,
27 and the Children and Family Services Act. The Department
28 shall provide for interactive computerized communication and
29 processing equipment that permits direct on-line
30 communication with the Department of State Police's central
31 criminal history data repository. The Department shall
32 comply with all certification requirements and provide
33 certified operators who have been trained by personnel from
34 the Department of State Police. In addition, one Office of
-447- LRB9000008DJcc
1 the Inspector General investigator shall have training in the

3 have access to the terminal. The Department of Children and
4 Family Services and its employees shall abide by rules and
5 regulations established by the Department of State Police
6 relating to the access and dissemination of this information.
7 (w) Within 120 days of August 20, 1995 (the effective
8 date of Public Act 89-392), the Department shall prepare and
9 submit to the Governor and the General Assembly, a written
10 plan for the development of in-state licensed secure child
11 care facilities that care for children who are in need of
12 secure living arrangements for their health, safety, and
13 well-being. For purposes of this subsection, secure care
14 facility shall mean a facility that is designed and operated
15 to ensure that all entrances and exits from the facility, a
16 building or a distinct part of the building, are under the
17 exclusive control of the staff of the facility, whether or
18 not the child has the freedom of movement within the
19 perimeter of the facility, building, or distinct part of the
20 building. The plan shall include descriptions of the types
21 of facilities that are needed in Illinois; the cost of
22 developing these secure care facilities; the estimated number
23 of placements; the potential cost savings resulting from the
24 movement of children currently out-of-state who are projected
25 to be returned to Illinois; the necessary geographic
26 distribution of these facilities in Illinois; and a proposed
27 timetable for development of such facilities.
