Amends the Children and Family Services Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Adoption Act, and Public Act 89-704. Amends the Children and Family Services Act to require a case plan to provide for the utilization of family preservation services as defined in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (instead of the utilization of reasonable family preservation services). Amends the Juvenile Court Act. Provides that the court may terminate the parental rights of a parent at an initial dispositional hearing if certain conditions are met, including if the court finds, on the basis of clear and convincing evidence admitted (instead of legally admissible evidence introduced or stipulated to) at a hearing that the parent is unfit. Provides that if a petition prays and the court finds that it is in the best interest of the minor that a guardian of the person be appointed and authorized to consent to the adoption of the minor, the court with the consent (instead of agreement) of the parents may empower the guardian of the person of the minor to appear in court when any proceedings for the adoption of the minor may be pending and to consent to the adoption. Provides that parental consent to the order (instead of parental request for an order) authorizing the guardian of the person to consent to adoption of the minor shall be made in open court or otherwise in writing and signed. Amends the Adoption Act in the provisions defining "related child" to add that a child whose parent has executed a final irrevocable consent to adoption or surrender for purposes of adoption or whose parent has had his or her parental rights terminated is not a related child unless the consent is determined to be void. Amends Public Act 89-704 to add an effective date of July 1, 1997. Makes other changes. Effective on July 1, 1997. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that it may be appropriate to expedite termination of parental rights when reasonable efforts are inappropriate or have been provided and were unsuccessful and there are aggravating circumstances or when parental rights of a parent with respect to a sibling of the child have been terminated. Removes the provisions that provide that it may be appropriate to expedite termination of parental rights in abandonment cases or in those extreme cases in which the parent's conduct toward the child or the child's sibling has been so egregious that the behavior justifies expedited termination of parental rights. 97-02-05 S FIRST READING 97-02-05 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-02-06 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUDICIARY 97-03-05 S POSTPONED 97-03-12 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-JUDICIARY S 97-03-12 S ADOPTED 97-03-12 S DO PASS AS AMENDED 010-000-000 SJUD 97-03-12 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 97-03-13 97-03-17 S SECOND READING 97-03-17 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 97-03-18 97-03-19 S THIRD READING - PASSED 056-000-000 97-03-19 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 97-03-19 H HOUSE SPONSOR FLOWERS 97-03-19 H PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 97-03-20 H HOUSE SPONSOR FLOWERS 97-03-20 H FIRST READING 97-03-20 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-03-21 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE JUD-CRIMINAL 97-04-24 H ALTERNATE PRIMARY SPONSOR CHANGED TO LINDNER 97-05-08 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-JUD-CRIMINAL H 97-05-08 H ADOPTED 97-05-08 H DO PASS AMENDED/SHORT DEBATE 015-000-000 HJUB 97-05-08 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-05-09 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-05-09 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-05-12 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 114-000-002 97-05-13 S SECRETARYS DESK - CONCURRENCE 01 97-05-19 S FILED WITH SECRETARY 97-05-19 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/PARKER 97-05-19 S MOTION REFERRED TO SRUL 97-05-20 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/PARKER 97-05-20 S RULES REFERS TO SJUD 97-05-21 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/PARKER 97-05-21 S BE APPROVED FOR CONSIDERATION SJUD/010-000-000 97-05-21 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/PARKER 97-05-21 S SEN CONCURS IN HSE AMENDMENTS (NO.) 01/056-000-000 97-05-21 S PASSED BOTH HOUSES 97-06-19 S SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 97-08-16 S GOVERNOR APPROVED 97-08-16 S EFFECTIVE DATE 97-08-16 97-08-16 S PUBLIC ACT.............................. 90-0443 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
