| AN ACT concerning families.

| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of |
| 5 |
| Marriage Act is amended by changing Section 609 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (750 ILCS 5/609) (from Ch. 40, par. 609)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 609. Leave to Remove Children.) (a) The court may |
| 8 |
| grant leave, before
or after judgment, to any party having |
| 9 |
| custody of any minor child or children
to remove such child or |
| 10 |
| children from Illinois whenever such approval is
in the best |
| 11 |
| interests of such child or children. The burden of proving that
|
| 12 |
| such removal is in the best interests of such child or children |
| 13 |
| is on the
party seeking the removal. When such removal is |
| 14 |
| permitted, the court may
require the party removing such child |
| 15 |
| or children from Illinois
to give reasonable security |
| 16 |
| guaranteeing the return of such children.
|
| 17 |
| (b) Before a minor child is temporarily removed from |
| 18 |
| Illinois, the
parent responsible for the removal shall inform |
| 19 |
| the other parent, or the
other parent's attorney, of the |
| 20 |
| address and telephone number where the
child may be reached |
| 21 |
| during the period of temporary removal, and the date
on which |
| 22 |
| the child shall return to Illinois.
|
| 23 |
| The State of Illinois retains jurisdiction when the minor |
| 24 |
| child is
absent from the State pursuant to this subsection.
|
| 25 |
| (c) If the custodial parent moves more than 100 miles |
| 26 |
| farther away from the non-custodial parent, the custodial |
| 27 |
| parent shall be responsible for transporting the child or |
| 28 |
| children back to within 10 miles of where the non-custodial |
| 29 |
| parent received the child or children for court ordered |
| 30 |
| visitation for all visitations after the custodial parent's |
| 31 |
| move, unless the parties agree otherwise.
