Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(325 ILCS 20/9) (from Ch. 23, par. 4159)

Sec. 9. Role of Other State Entities.

The Departments of Public
Health, Human Services, Children and Family
Services, and Healthcare and Family Services; the University of Illinois Division of Specialized
Care for Children; the State Board of Education;
and any other State agency which directly or
indirectly provides or administers early intervention services shall adopt
compatible rules for the provision of services to eligible infants and
toddlers and their families within one year of the effective date of this Act.

These agencies shall enter into and maintain formal interagency
agreements to enable the State and local agencies serving eligible children
and their families to establish working relationships that will increase
the efficiency and effectiveness of their early intervention services.  The
agreement shall outline the administrative, program and financial
responsibilities of the relevant State agencies and shall implement a
coordinated service delivery system through local interagency agreements.

There shall be created in the Office of the Governor an Early Childhood
Intervention Ombudsman to assist families and local parties in ensuring
that all State agencies serving eligible families do so in a comprehensive
and collaborative manner.
