1    Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal Adoption
2    Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
3        (10) interstate services.
4    Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
5include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
6of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
7or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance use
8disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
9approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor to
10the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
11purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
12referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
13licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
14disorder treatment.
15    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
16program or facility within or available to the Department for a
17youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
18adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
19youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
20individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
21The plan may be developed within the Department or through
22purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
23within its statutory authority to do.
24    (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
25State and shall include but not be limited to the following
26services:

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 7 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1        (1) case management;
2        (2) homemakers;
3        (3) counseling;
4        (4) parent education;
5        (5) day care; and

8to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
9        (1) comprehensive family-based services;
10        (2) assessments;
11        (3) respite care; and
12        (4) in-home health services.
13    The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
14services it makes available to children or families or for
15which it refers children or families.
16    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
17assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
18establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
19grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
20disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
21children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
22in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
23assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
24available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
25dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
26been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 8 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1died. The Department may continue to provide financial
2assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
3determined eligible for financial assistance under this
4subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
5adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
6new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
7parents. The Department may also provide categories of
8financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
9shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
10grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
11Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
124-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
13who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
14appointment of the guardian.
15    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
16of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
17annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
18allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
19may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
20the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
21of the child.
22    Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
23inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
24garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
25a judgment or debt.
26    (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 9 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
2either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
3outside of the State of Illinois.
4    (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
5child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
6dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
7the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
8    (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
9services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
10Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
11extended families. Family preservation services shall be
12offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
13care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
14custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
15(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
16maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
17shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
18children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
19in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
20family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
21other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
22subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
23that reunification services may be offered as provided in
24paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
25Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
26private right of action or claim on the part of any individual

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 10 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
2subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
3of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
4facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
5hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
6of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
7out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
8reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
9    The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
10Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
11preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
12child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
13the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
14offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
15report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
16prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
17Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
18or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
19considered in the investigation. The Department may also
20provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
21any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
22such child or family to services available from other agencies
23in the community, even if the report is determined to be
24unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
25are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
26reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 11 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
2services to any child or family after completion of a family
3assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
4under the "differential response program" provided for in
5subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
6Child Reporting Act.
7    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
8children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
9care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
10as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
11requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
12Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
13be committed to the Department by any court without the
14approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
15effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
162017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
17Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
18adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
19committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
20less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
21Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
22for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
23exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
24minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
25reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
26of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 12 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

12017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
2Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
3adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
4committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
5less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
6Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
7for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
8exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
9minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
10reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
11of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
12when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
13dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
14circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
15delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
16any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
17Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
18hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
19release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
20    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
21date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
22implement a special program of family preservation services to
23support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
24experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
25of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
26developmental disorder if the Department determines that those

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 13 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
2child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
3or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
4Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
5family to services available from other agencies in the
6community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
7reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
8reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
9these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
10and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
11social service providers and the general public about these
12special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
13the services offered and the number of families served under
14the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
15determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
16allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
17disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
18including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
19as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
20Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
21Psychiatric Association.
22    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
23the child require that the child be placed in the most
24permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
25possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
26Department of Children and Family Services to conduct

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 14 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
2earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
3include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
4the family when the child can be cared for at home without
5endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
6the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
7is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
8permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
9    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
10to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
11reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
12paramount concern.
13    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
14ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
15prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
16child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
17reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
18unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
19of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
20Department believes that further reunification services would
21be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
22reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
23not required to provide further reunification services after
24such a finding.
25    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
26made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 15 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
2also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
3placement made is the best available placement to provide
4permanency for the child.
5    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
6planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
7shall consider the following factors when determining
8appropriateness of concurrent planning:
9        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
10        (2) the past history of the family;
11        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
12    the family;
13        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
14        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
15    family to reunite;
16        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
17    provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
18        (7) the age of the child;
19        (8) placement of siblings.
20    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
21child if:
22        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
23    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
24    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
25    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
26    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 16 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
2    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
3If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
4guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
5may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
6custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
7in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
8custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
9apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
10resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
11enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
12health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
13parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
14such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
15resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
16home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
17follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
185-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
19    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
20and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
21pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
22Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
23pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
24Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
25under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
26custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 17 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
2required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
3Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
4and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
5subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
61987.
7    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
8custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
9examination.
10    A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
11custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
12if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
13deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
14surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
15may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
16receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
17cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
18of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain
19temporary custody of the child until the court orders
20otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day period,
21the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the requesting
22parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
23the 10-day period, at which time the authority and duties of
24the Department with respect to the temporary custody of the
25child shall terminate.
26    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 18 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
2that cares for children who are in need of secure living
3arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
4determination is made by the facility director and the Director
5or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
6subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
7This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
8to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
9Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
10child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
11Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
12facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
13placement of the child in a secure care facility.
14    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
15in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
16Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
17have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
18safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
19best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
20supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
21facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
22guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
23Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
24payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
25in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
26training and supervision of such a child that exceed the

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 19 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
2child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
3operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
4payments does not apply in cases where children require
5specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
6disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
7combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
8of such children are not available at payment rates within the
9limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
10services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
11assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
12    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
13welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
14sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
15minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
16subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
171987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
18provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
19yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
20responsibility for the development and delivery of services
21under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
22this Section through the Department of Children and Family
23Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
24Youth participating in services under this Section shall
25cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
26agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 20 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
2homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
3youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
4Department shall continue child welfare services under this
5Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
6of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
7self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
8Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
9readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
10welfare services under this Section and how such services may
11be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
12the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
13information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
14describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
15sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
16    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
17review and appeal process for children and families who request
18or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
19care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
20foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
21afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
22families in the case of placement by the Department, including
23the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
24that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
25welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
26affords those rights to children and foster families. The

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 21 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
2hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
3concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
4child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
5alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
6appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
7child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
8determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
9and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
101987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
11of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
12involving a change of placement decision.
13    (p) (Blank).
14    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
15for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of
16money or other property which is received on behalf of such
17children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
18or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
19the Department.
20    The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
21interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
22institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
23responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
24Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
25the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
26payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement

1payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
2payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
3the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
4subsection.
5    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
6Department shall:
7        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
8    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
9    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
10    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
11    approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
12    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
13    records of all disbursements for each account for any
14    purpose.
15        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
16    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
17    not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
18    utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
19    regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
20    disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
21    $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
22    General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
23    $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
24        (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
25    for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
26    The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 23 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1    State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
2    or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
3    (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
4encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
5Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
6have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
7hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of
8such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
9such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
10or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
11confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
12the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
13adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
14such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
15agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
16Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
17confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
18the child.
19    (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
20establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
21private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
22Department of Children and Family Services for damages
23sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
24negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
25party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
26of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 24 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

2applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
3from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for such
4purposes.
5    (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
6investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
7as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
8Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
9        (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
10    directs the Department to perform such services; and
11        (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
12    the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
13    reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
14    with Department rules, or has determined that neither party
15    is financially able to pay.
16    The Department shall provide written notification to the
17court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
18and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
19The Department shall send to the court information related to
20the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
21determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court
22may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
23    (u) In addition to other information that must be provided,
24whenever the Department places a child with a prospective
25adoptive parent or parents or in a licensed foster home, group

18criminal background, fire setting, perpetuation of sexual
19abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to
20care for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently
21in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of
22the information required by this paragraph, which may be
23provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in
24advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive

2    may be (1) continued in the custody of his or her parents,
3    guardian or legal custodian; (2) placed in accordance with
4    Section 2-27; (3) restored to the custody of the parent,
5    parents, guardian, or legal custodian, provided the court
6    shall order the parent, parents, guardian, or legal

8    Family Services and comply with the terms of an after-care
9    plan or risk the loss of custody of the child and the
10    possible termination of their parental rights; or (4)
11    ordered partially or completely emancipated in accordance
12    with the provisions of the Emancipation of Minors Act.
13        However, in any case in which a minor is found by the
14    court to be neglected or abused under Section 2-3 of this
15    Act, custody of the minor shall not be restored to any
16    parent, guardian or legal custodian whose acts or omissions
17    or both have been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of
18    Section 2-21, as forming the basis for the court's finding
19    of abuse or neglect, until such time as a hearing is held
20    on the issue of the best interests of the minor and the
21    fitness of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care
22    for the minor without endangering the minor's health or
23    safety, and the court enters an order that such parent,
24    guardian or legal custodian is fit to care for the minor.
25        (b) A minor under 18 years of age found to be dependent
26    under Section 2-4 may be (1) placed in accordance with

1    Section 2-27 or (2) ordered partially or completely
2    emancipated in accordance with the provisions of the
3    Emancipation of Minors Act.
4        However, in any case in which a minor is found by the
5    court to be dependent under Section 2-4 of this Act,
6    custody of the minor shall not be restored to any parent,
7    guardian or legal custodian whose acts or omissions or both
8    have been identified, pursuant to subsection (1) of Section
9    2-21, as forming the basis for the court's finding of
10    dependency, until such time as a hearing is held on the
11    issue of the fitness of such parent, guardian or legal
12    custodian to care for the minor without endangering the
13    minor's health or safety, and the court enters an order
14    that such parent, guardian or legal custodian is fit to
15    care for the minor.
16        (b-1) A minor between the ages of 18 and 21 may be
17    placed pursuant to Section 2-27 of this Act if (1) the
18    court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate
19    wardship of the minor pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
20    2-33, (2) the court has adjudicated the minor a ward of the
21    court, permitted the minor to return home under an order of
22    protection, and subsequently made a finding that it is in
23    the minor's best interest to vacate the order of protection
24    and commit the minor to the Department of Children and
25    Family Services for care and service, or (3) the court
26    returned the minor to the custody of the respondent under

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 42 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1    Section 2-4b of this Act without terminating the
2    proceedings under Section 2-31 of this Act, and
3    subsequently made a finding that it is in the minor's best
4    interest to commit the minor to the Department of Children
5    and Family Services for care and services.
6        (c) When the court awards guardianship to the
7    Department of Children and Family Services, the court shall
8    order the parents to cooperate with the Department of
9    Children and Family Services, comply with the terms of the
10    service plans, and correct the conditions that require the
11    child to be in care, or risk termination of their parental
12    rights.
13    (2) Any order of disposition may provide for protective
14supervision under Section 2-24 and may include an order of
15protection under Section 2-25.
16    Unless the order of disposition expressly so provides, it
17does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
18but is subject to modification, not inconsistent with Section
192-28, until final closing and discharge of the proceedings
20under Section 2-31.
21    (3) The court also shall enter any other orders necessary
22to fulfill the service plan, including, but not limited to, (i)
23orders requiring parties to cooperate with services, (ii)
24restraining orders controlling the conduct of any party likely
25to frustrate the achievement of the goal, and (iii) visiting
26orders. When the child is placed separately from a sibling, the

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 43 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1court shall review the Sibling Contact Support Plan developed
2under subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of the Children and Family
3Services Act, if applicable. If the Department has not convened
4a meeting to develop a Sibling Contact Support Plan, or if the
5court finds that the existing Plan is not in the child's best
6interest, the court may enter an order requiring the Department
7to develop and implement a Sibling Contact Support Plan under
8subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of the Children and Family
9Services Act or order mediation. Unless otherwise specifically
10authorized by law, the court is not empowered under this
11subsection (3) to order specific placements, specific
12services, or specific service providers to be included in the
13plan. If, after receiving evidence, the court determines that
14the services contained in the plan are not reasonably
15calculated to facilitate achievement of the permanency goal,
16the court shall put in writing the factual basis supporting the
17determination and enter specific findings based on the
18evidence. The court also shall enter an order for the
19Department to develop and implement a new service plan or to
20implement changes to the current service plan consistent with
21the court's findings. The new service plan shall be filed with
22the court and served on all parties within 45 days after the
23date of the order. The court shall continue the matter until
24the new service plan is filed. Except as authorized by
25subsection (3.5) of this Section or authorized by law, the
26court is not empowered under this Section to order specific

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 44 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1placements, specific services, or specific service providers
2to be included in the service plan.
3    (3.5) If, after reviewing the evidence, including evidence
4from the Department, the court determines that the minor's
5current or planned placement is not necessary or appropriate to
6facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall
7put in writing the factual basis supporting its determination
8and enter specific findings based on the evidence. If the court
9finds that the minor's current or planned placement is not
10necessary or appropriate, the court may enter an order
11directing the Department to implement a recommendation by the
12minor's treating clinician or a clinician contracted by the
13Department to evaluate the minor or a recommendation made by
14the Department. If the Department places a minor in a placement
15under an order entered under this subsection (3.5), the
16Department has the authority to remove the minor from that
17placement when a change in circumstances necessitates the
18removal to protect the minor's health, safety, and best
19interest. If the Department determines removal is necessary,
20the Department shall notify the parties of the planned
21placement change in writing no later than 10 days prior to the
22implementation of its determination unless remaining in the
23placement poses an imminent risk of harm to the minor, in which
24case the Department shall notify the parties of the placement
25change in writing immediately following the implementation of
26its decision. The Department shall notify others of the

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 45 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1decision to change the minor's placement as required by
2Department rule.
3    (4) In addition to any other order of disposition, the
4court may order any minor adjudicated neglected with respect to
5his or her own injurious behavior to make restitution, in
6monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
7of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
8that the "presentence hearing" referred to therein shall be the
9dispositional hearing for purposes of this Section. The parent,
10guardian or legal custodian of the minor may pay some or all of
11such restitution on the minor's behalf.
12    (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is committed
13or placed in accordance with Section 2-27 shall provide for the
14parents or guardian of the estate of such minor to pay to the
15legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
16sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
17person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. Such
18payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
19Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
20    (6) Whenever the order of disposition requires the minor to
21attend school or participate in a program of training, the
22truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
23report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
24truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.
25    (7) The court may terminate the parental rights of a parent
26at the initial dispositional hearing if all of the conditions

4    Sec. 2-27. Placement; legal custody or guardianship.
5    (1) If the court determines and puts in writing the factual
6basis supporting the determination of whether the parents,
7guardian, or legal custodian of a minor adjudged a ward of the
8court are unfit or are unable, for some reason other than
9financial circumstances alone, to care for, protect, train or
10discipline the minor or are unwilling to do so, and that the
11health, safety, and best interest of the minor will be
12jeopardized if the minor remains in the custody of his or her
13parents, guardian or custodian, the court may at this hearing
14and at any later point:
15        (a) place the minor in the custody of a suitable
16    relative or other person as legal custodian or guardian;
17        (a-5) with the approval of the Department of Children
18    and Family Services, place the minor in the subsidized
19    guardianship of a suitable relative or other person as
20    legal guardian; "subsidized guardianship" means a private
21    guardianship arrangement for children for whom the
22    permanency goals of return home and adoption have been
23    ruled out and who meet the qualifications for subsidized
24    guardianship as defined by the Department of Children and
25    Family Services in administrative rules;

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 47 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1        (b) place the minor under the guardianship of a
2    probation officer;
3        (c) commit the minor to an agency for care or
4    placement, except an institution under the authority of the
5    Department of Corrections or of the Department of Children
6    and Family Services;
7        (d) on and after the effective date of this amendatory
8    Act of the 98th General Assembly and before January 1,
9    2017, commit the minor to the Department of Children and
10    Family Services for care and service; however, a minor
11    charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of
12    1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent
13    shall not be placed in the custody of or committed to the
14    Department of Children and Family Services by any court,
15    except (i) a minor less than 16 years of age and committed
16    to the Department of Children and Family Services under
17    Section 5-710 of this Act, (ii) a minor under the age of 18
18    for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
19    dependency exists, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
20    granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship
21    pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of this Act. On
22    and after January 1, 2017, commit the minor to the
23    Department of Children and Family Services for care and
24    service; however, a minor charged with a criminal offense
25    under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
26    2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 48 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1    custody of or committed to the Department of Children and
2    Family Services by any court, except (i) a minor less than
3    15 years of age and committed to the Department of Children
4    and Family Services under Section 5-710 of this Act, (ii) a
5    minor under the age of 18 for whom an independent basis of
6    abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, or (iii) a minor for
7    whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
8    reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
9    2-33 of this Act. An independent basis exists when the
10    allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
11    dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
12    circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication
13    of delinquency. The Department shall be given due notice of
14    the pendency of the action and the Guardianship
15    Administrator of the Department of Children and Family
16    Services shall be appointed guardian of the person of the
17    minor. Whenever the Department seeks to discharge a minor
18    from its care and service, the Guardianship Administrator
19    shall petition the court for an order terminating
20    guardianship. The Guardianship Administrator may designate
21    one or more other officers of the Department, appointed as
22    Department officers by administrative order of the
23    Department Director, authorized to affix the signature of
24    the Guardianship Administrator to documents affecting the
25    guardian-ward relationship of children for whom he or she
26    has been appointed guardian at such times as he or she is

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 49 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1    unable to perform the duties of his or her office. The
2    signature authorization shall include but not be limited to
3    matters of consent of marriage, enlistment in the armed
4    forces, legal proceedings, adoption, major medical and
5    surgical treatment and application for driver's license.
6    Signature authorizations made pursuant to the provisions
7    of this paragraph shall be filed with the Secretary of
8    State and the Secretary of State shall provide upon payment
9    of the customary fee, certified copies of the authorization
10    to any court or individual who requests a copy.
11    (1.5) In making a determination under this Section, the
12court shall also consider whether, based on health, safety, and
13the best interests of the minor,
14        (a) appropriate services aimed at family preservation
15    and family reunification have been unsuccessful in
16    rectifying the conditions that have led to a finding of
17    unfitness or inability to care for, protect, train, or
18    discipline the minor, or
19        (b) no family preservation or family reunification
20    services would be appropriate,
21and if the petition or amended petition contained an allegation
22that the parent is an unfit person as defined in subdivision
23(D) of Section 1 of the Adoption Act, and the order of
24adjudication recites that parental unfitness was established
25by clear and convincing evidence, the court shall, when
26appropriate and in the best interest of the minor, enter an

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 50 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1order terminating parental rights and appointing a guardian
2with power to consent to adoption in accordance with Section
32-29.
4    When making a placement, the court, wherever possible,
5shall require the Department of Children and Family Services to
6select a person holding the same religious belief as that of
7the minor or a private agency controlled by persons of like
8religious faith of the minor and shall require the Department
9to otherwise comply with Section 7 of the Children and Family
10Services Act in placing the child. In addition, whenever
11alternative plans for placement are available, the court shall
12ascertain and consider, to the extent appropriate in the
13particular case, the views and preferences of the minor.
14    (2) When a minor is placed with a suitable relative or
15other person pursuant to item (a) of subsection (1), the court
16shall appoint him or her the legal custodian or guardian of the
17person of the minor. When a minor is committed to any agency,
18the court shall appoint the proper officer or representative
19thereof as legal custodian or guardian of the person of the
20minor. Legal custodians and guardians of the person of the
21minor have the respective rights and duties set forth in
22subsection (9) of Section 1-3 except as otherwise provided by
23order of court; but no guardian of the person may consent to
24adoption of the minor unless that authority is conferred upon
25him or her in accordance with Section 2-29. An agency whose
26representative is appointed guardian of the person or legal

 

 

SB1116 Engrossed- 51 -LRB101 08503 SLF 53580 b

1custodian of the minor may place the minor in any child care
2facility, but the facility must be licensed under the Child
3Care Act of 1969 or have been approved by the Department of
4Children and Family Services as meeting the standards
5established for such licensing. No agency may place a minor
6adjudicated under Sections 2-3 or 2-4 in a child care facility
7unless the placement is in compliance with the rules and
8regulations for placement under this Section promulgated by the
9Department of Children and Family Services under Section 5 of
10the Children and Family Services Act. Like authority and
11restrictions shall be conferred by the court upon any probation
12officer who has been appointed guardian of the person of a
13minor.
14    (3) No placement by any probation officer or agency whose
15representative is appointed guardian of the person or legal
16custodian of a minor may be made in any out of State child care
17facility unless it complies with the Interstate Compact on the
18Placement of Children. Placement with a parent, however, is not
19subject to that Interstate Compact.
20    (4) The clerk of the court shall issue to the legal
21custodian or guardian of the person a certified copy of the
22order of court, as proof of his authority. No other process is
23necessary as authority for the keeping of the minor.
24    (5) Custody or guardianship granted under this Section
25continues until the court otherwise directs, but not after the
26minor reaches the age of 19 years except as set forth in

9    (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made in
10respect of wards of the court:
11        (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, and
12    5-815, a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may
13    be:
14            (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
15        released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
16        custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
17        is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
18        under this subsection and who is found to be a
19        delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
20        a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
21        on probation;
22            (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with

6        Department of Children and Family Services, but only if
7        the delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or,

12        Children and Family Services, but only if the
13        delinquent minor is under 15 years of age or, pursuant
14        to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
15        independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
16        exists. An independent basis exists when the
17        allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
18        dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
19        or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
20        adjudication of delinquency;

1        years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
2        may be extended by further order of the court for a
3        minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
4        Children and Family Services if the court finds that
5        the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
6        shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
7        detention for time spent in detention under Sections
8        5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
9        result of the offense for which the sentencing order
10        was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
11        order of detention entered under a violation of
12        probation or violation of conditional discharge under
13        Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
14        detention before the filing of the petition alleging
15        the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
16        for time spent in detention before the filing of a
17        violation of probation or conditional discharge
18        alleging the same or related act or acts. The
19        limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a
20        juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
21            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
22        petition of delinquency filed against them may be
23        confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
24        determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
25        age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed
26        against the person, these factors, among other

4            history of the person;
5                (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of

3        detention under Part 7A of this Article.
4        (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
5    Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
6    minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
7    provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
8    Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
9    a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
10    include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
11    minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified
12    Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in
13    custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
14    guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
15    time spent in custody.
16        (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
17    which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
18    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
19    Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the
20    court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring

7any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
8monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
9of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
10that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
11shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
12The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
13ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
14the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
15Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
16victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
17Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
18Parental Responsibility Law.
19    (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or

22legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
23sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the

10services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
11School Code.
12    (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
13Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
14of that period for which an adult could be committed for the

16limitation on the period of confinement not to exceed the
17maximum period of imprisonment the court could impose under
18Article V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
19    (7.5) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
20Department of Juvenile Justice or placed in detention when the

14acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any medical test
15shall be performed only by appropriately licensed medical
16practitioners and may include an analysis of any bodily fluids
17as well as an examination of the minor's person. Except as
18otherwise provided by law, the results of the test shall be
19kept strictly confidential by all medical personnel involved in
20the testing and must be personally delivered in a sealed
21envelope to the judge of the court in which the sentencing

17organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
18allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
19subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961

10performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
11addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
12for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
13Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
14Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
15Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
16Prevention Act.

18in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
19as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
20the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
21driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
22Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
23which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
24time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's

15recommendation by the State's Attorney, order that minor and
16his or her parents or legal guardian to attend a smoker's
17education or youth diversion program as defined in that Act if
18that program is available in the jurisdiction where the
19offender resides. Attendance at a smoker's education or youth
20diversion program shall be time-credited against any community
21service time imposed for any first violation of subsection
22(a-7) of Section 1 of that Act. In addition to any other
23penalty that the court may impose for a violation of subsection
24(a-7) of Section 1 of that Act, the court, upon request by the
25State's Attorney, may in its discretion require the offender to
