Adds reference to:
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 concerning abused, neglected, and dependent minors. Changes the provisions concerning Family Support Program services. Changes the program to publicly funded community and residential services. Provides that, if the minor is determined eligible for publicly funded community or residential services and the necessary publicly funded community or residential services are available for the minor, the court shall conduct a hearing within 14 days upon notification to all parties. Provides that, for minors in the temporary custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, the court shall determine whether urgent and immediate necessity exists to continue the minor in the custody of the Department and whether the Department's custody of the minor should be vacated. Provides that for minors in the guardianship of the Department, the court shall determine whether the respondent is fit, willing, and able to care for the minor and whether it is in the minor's best interest to return to the custody of the respondent. Restores a provision which states that if the court determines that the minor shall continue in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Children and Family Services shall remain fiscally responsible for providing services to the minor. Provides that the provisions do not apply to: (1) a minor for whom the court has not yet completed an adjudicatory hearing and for whom a petition has been filed under the Act alleging that the minor is a neglected minor, other than a minor left at a psychiatric hospital beyond medical necessity, or an abused minor; or (2) a minor who the court has adjudicated under the Act as either (i) a neglected minor, unless the primary basis for the finding is that the respondent left the minor at a psychiatric hospital beyond medical necessity, or (ii) an abused minor.
