498550 13 Neglected Child Reporting Act, to help families, including
499551 14 adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
500552 15 shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
501553 16 substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
502554 17 in the custody of the person responsible for the children's
503555 18 welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
504556 19 (iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
505557 20 services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
506558 21 the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
507559 22 are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
508560 23 1987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a
509561 24 goal other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of

524576 3 private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
525577 4 or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
526578 5 subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
527579 6 of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
528580 7 facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
529581 8 hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
530582 9 of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
531583 10 out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
532584 11 reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
533585 12 The Department shall notify the child and his family of
534586 13 the Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
535587 14 preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
536588 15 child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
537589 16 the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
538590 17 offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
539591 18 report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
540592 19 prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of
541593 20 the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the
542594 21 child's or family's willingness to accept services shall not
543595 22 be considered in the investigation. The Department may also
544596 23 provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
545597 24 any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer

637689 8 the child or family to services available from other agencies

639691 10 home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to

645697 16 and scope of the services offered and the number of families

668720 3 Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
669721 4 concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
670722 5 earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
671723 6 include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
672724 7 the family when the child can be cared for at home without
673725 8 endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
674726 9 the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
675727 10 is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
676728 11 permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
677729 12 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
678730 13 respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
679731 14 making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
680732 15 shall be the paramount concern.
681733 16 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
682734 17 shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
683735 18 prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
684736 19 child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
685737 20 reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
686738 21 occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
687739 22 Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
688740 23 where the Department believes that further reunification
689741 24 services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
690742 25 the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.

707759 6 placement made is the best available placement to provide

709761 8 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
710762 9 planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
711763 10 shall consider the following factors when determining
712764 11 appropriateness of concurrent planning:
713765 12 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
714766 13 (2) the past history of the family;
715767 14 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
716768 15 the family;
717769 16 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
718770 17 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
719771 18 family to reunite;
720772 19 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
721773 20 to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
722774 21 (7) the age of the child;
723775 22 (8) placement of siblings.
724776 23 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any

1422-3 (b-1) A minor between the ages of 18 and 23 21 may be
1423-4 placed pursuant to Section 2-27 of this Act if (1) the
1424-5 court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate
1425-6 wardship of the minor pursuant to subsection (2) of
1426-7 Section 2-33, (2) the court has adjudicated the minor a
1427-8 ward of the court, permitted the minor to return home
1428-9 under an order of protection, and subsequently made a
1429-10 finding that it is in the minor's best interest to vacate
1430-11 the order of protection and commit the minor to the
1431-12 Department of Children and Family Services for care and
1432-13 service, or (3) the court returned the minor to the
1433-14 custody of the respondent under Section 2-4b of this Act
1434-15 without terminating the proceedings under Section 2-31 of
1435-16 this Act, and subsequently made a finding that it is in the
1436-17 minor's best interest to commit the minor to the
1437-18 Department of Children and Family Services for care and
1438-19 services.
1439-20 (c) When the court awards guardianship to the
1440-21 Department of Children and Family Services, the court
1441-22 shall order the parents to cooperate with the Department
1442-23 of Children and Family Services, comply with the terms of
1443-24 the service plans, and correct the conditions that require
1444-25 the child to be in care, or risk termination of their

1467-12 restraining orders controlling the conduct of any party likely
1468-13 to frustrate the achievement of the goal, and (iii) visiting
1469-14 orders. When the child is placed separately from a sibling,
1470-15 the court shall review the Sibling Contact Support Plan
1471-16 developed under subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of the Children
1472-17 and Family Services Act, if applicable. If the Department has
1473-18 not convened a meeting to develop a Sibling Contact Support
1474-19 Plan, or if the court finds that the existing Plan is not in
1475-20 the child's best interest, the court may enter an order

1493-2 court determines that the services contained in the plan are
1494-3 not reasonably calculated to facilitate achievement of the
1495-4 permanency goal, the court shall put in writing the factual
1496-5 basis supporting the determination and enter specific findings
1497-6 based on the evidence. The court also shall enter an order for
1498-7 the Department to develop and implement a new service plan or
1499-8 to implement changes to the current service plan consistent
1500-9 with the court's findings. The new service plan shall be filed
1501-10 with the court and served on all parties within 45 days after
1502-11 the date of the order. The court shall continue the matter
1503-12 until the new service plan is filed. Except as authorized by
1504-13 subsection (3.5) of this Section or authorized by law, the
1505-14 court is not empowered under this Section to order specific
1506-15 placements, specific services, or specific service providers

1508-17 (3.5) If, after reviewing the evidence, including evidence
1509-18 from the Department, the court determines that the minor's
1510-19 current or planned placement is not necessary or appropriate
1511-20 to facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court

1530-3 places a minor in a placement under an order entered under this
1531-4 subsection (3.5), the Department has the authority to remove
1532-5 the minor from that placement when a change in circumstances
1533-6 necessitates the removal to protect the minor's health,
1534-7 safety, and best interest. If the Department determines
1535-8 removal is necessary, the Department shall notify the parties
1536-9 of the planned placement change in writing no later than 10
1537-10 days prior to the implementation of its determination unless
1538-11 remaining in the placement poses an imminent risk of harm to
1539-12 the minor, in which case the Department shall notify the
1540-13 parties of the placement change in writing immediately

1542-15 shall notify others of the decision to change the minor's
1543-16 placement as required by Department rule.

1545-18 court may order any minor adjudicated neglected with respect
1546-19 to his or her own injurious behavior to make restitution, in
1547-20 monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
1548-21 of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
1549-22 that the "presentence hearing" referred to therein shall be

1575-12 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.

1610-12 and the public: (A) the minor's wishes regarding case closure;
1611-13 (B) the manner in which the minor will maintain independence
1612-14 without services from the Department; (C) the minor's
1613-15 engagement in services including placement offered by the

1885-1 supported by clear and convincing evidence. In ruling on a
1886-2 motion to reinstate parental rights, the court shall make
1887-3 findings consistent with the requirements in subsection (1) of
1888-4 this Section. The court shall consider the reasons why the
1889-5 child was initially brought to the attention of the court, the
1890-6 history of the child's case as it relates to the parent seeking
1891-7 reinstatement, and the current circumstances of the parent for
1892-8 whom reinstatement of rights is sought. If reinstatement is
1893-9 being considered subsequent to a finding of unfitness pursuant
1894-10 to Section 2-29 of this Act having been entered with respect to
1895-11 the parent whose rights are being restored, the court in
1896-12 determining the minor's best interest shall consider, in
1897-13 addition to the factors set forth in paragraph (4.05) of
1898-14 Section 1-3 of this Act, the specific grounds upon which the
1899-15 unfitness findings were made. Upon the entry of an order
1900-16 granting a motion to reinstate parental rights, parental
1901-17 rights of the parent named in the order shall be reinstated,
1902-18 any previous order appointing a guardian with the power to
1903-19 consent to adoption shall be void and with respect to the
1904-20 parent named in the order, any consent shall be void.

1765+6 that is a known or presumed complication of prostate or
1766+7 testicular cancer and complications resulting from the
1767+8 treatment modalities themselves. Persons who require only
1768+9 routine monitoring services are not considered to need
1769+10 treatment. "Medical assistance" under this paragraph 16
1770+11 shall be identical to the benefits provided under the
1771+12 State's approved plan under Title XIX of the Social
1772+13 Security Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
1773+14 the Department (i) does not have a claim against the
1774+15 estate of a deceased recipient of services under this
1775+16 paragraph 16 and (ii) does not have a lien against any

1909+6 In implementing the provisions of Public Act 96-20, the

1927+24 to be disregarded under the Federal Supplemental Security
1928+25 Income Program. The amount of assets of a single person to be

1945+6 provided in Section 8A-8.
1946+7 The eligibility of any person for medical assistance under
1947+8 this Article shall not be affected by the receipt by the person
1948+9 of donations or benefits from fundraisers held for the person
1949+10 in cases of serious illness, as long as neither the person nor
1950+11 members of the person's family have actual control over the
1951+12 donations or benefits or the disbursement of the donations or
1952+13 benefits.
1953+14 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, if the
1954+15 United States Supreme Court holds Title II, Subtitle A,
1955+16 Section 2001(a) of Public Law 111-148 to be unconstitutional,
1956+17 or if a holding of Public Law 111-148 makes Medicaid
1957+18 eligibility allowed under Section 2001(a) inoperable, the
1958+19 State or a unit of local government shall be prohibited from
1959+20 enrolling individuals in the Medical Assistance Program as the
1960+21 result of federal approval of a State Medicaid waiver on or

2157+4 court determines that the services contained in the plan are
2158+5 not reasonably calculated to facilitate achievement of the
2159+6 permanency goal, the court shall put in writing the factual
2160+7 basis supporting the determination and enter specific findings
2161+8 based on the evidence. The court also shall enter an order for
2162+9 the Department to develop and implement a new service plan or
2163+10 to implement changes to the current service plan consistent
2164+11 with the court's findings. The new service plan shall be filed
2165+12 with the court and served on all parties within 45 days after
2166+13 the date of the order. The court shall continue the matter
2167+14 until the new service plan is filed. Except as authorized by

2192+3 clinician contracted by the Department to evaluate the minor
2193+4 or a recommendation made by the Department. If the Department
2194+5 places a minor in a placement under an order entered under this
2195+6 subsection (3.5), the Department has the authority to remove
2196+7 the minor from that placement when a change in circumstances
2197+8 necessitates the removal to protect the minor's health,
2198+9 safety, and best interest. If the Department determines
2199+10 removal is necessary, the Department shall notify the parties
2200+11 of the planned placement change in writing no later than 10
2201+12 days prior to the implementation of its determination unless
2202+13 remaining in the placement poses an imminent risk of harm to
2203+14 the minor, in which case the Department shall notify the
2204+15 parties of the placement change in writing immediately
2205+16 following the implementation of its decision. The Department
2206+17 shall notify others of the decision to change the minor's
2207+18 placement as required by Department rule.

2227+2 (5) Any order for disposition where the minor is committed
2228+3 or placed in accordance with Section 2-27 shall provide for
2229+4 the parents or guardian of the estate of such minor to pay to
2230+5 the legal custodian or guardian of the person of the minor such
2231+6 sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the
2232+7 person of the minor as necessary for the minor's needs. Such
2233+8 payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by

2236+11 to attend school or participate in a program of training, the
2237+12 truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
2238+13 report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
2239+14 truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code.

2267+7 ordered but the termination must be made in compliance with
2268+8 Section 2-28. When terminating wardship under this Section, if
2269+9 the minor is over 18 or if wardship is terminated in
2270+10 conjunction with an order partially or completely emancipating
2271+11 the minor in accordance with the Emancipation of Minors Act,
2272+12 the court shall also consider the following factors, in
2273+13 addition to the health, safety, and best interest of the minor
2274+14 and the public: (A) the minor's wishes regarding case closure;
2275+15 (B) the manner in which the minor will maintain independence
2276+16 without services from the Department; (C) the minor's
2277+17 engagement in services including placement offered by the
2278+18 Department; (D) if the minor is not engaged, the Department's
2279+19 efforts to engage the minor; (E) the nature of communication
2280+20 between the minor and the Department; (F) the minor's
2281+21 involvement in other State systems or services; (G) the
2282+22 minor's connections with family and other community support;
2283+23 and (H) any other factor the court deems relevant. The minor's
2284+24 lack of cooperation with services provided by the Department
2285+25 of Children and Family Services shall not by itself be

2547+1 (4) The court shall not grant a motion for reinstatement
2548+2 of parental rights unless the court finds that the motion is
2549+3 supported by clear and convincing evidence. In ruling on a
2550+4 motion to reinstate parental rights, the court shall make
2551+5 findings consistent with the requirements in subsection (1) of
2552+6 this Section. The court shall consider the reasons why the
2553+7 child was initially brought to the attention of the court, the
2554+8 history of the child's case as it relates to the parent seeking
2555+9 reinstatement, and the current circumstances of the parent for
2556+10 whom reinstatement of rights is sought. If reinstatement is
2557+11 being considered subsequent to a finding of unfitness pursuant
2558+12 to Section 2-29 of this Act having been entered with respect to
2559+13 the parent whose rights are being restored, the court in
2560+14 determining the minor's best interest shall consider, in
2561+15 addition to the factors set forth in paragraph (4.05) of
2562+16 Section 1-3 of this Act, the specific grounds upon which the
2563+17 unfitness findings were made. Upon the entry of an order
2564+18 granting a motion to reinstate parental rights, parental
2565+19 rights of the parent named in the order shall be reinstated,
2566+20 any previous order appointing a guardian with the power to
2567+21 consent to adoption shall be void and with respect to the
2568+22 parent named in the order, any consent shall be void.
2569+23 (5) If the case is post-disposition, the court, upon the
2570+24 entry of an order granting a motion to reinstate parental
2571+25 rights, shall schedule the matter for a permanency hearing
2572+26 pursuant to Section 2-28 of this Act within 45 days.

2586+4 (7) In any case involving a child over the age of 13 who
2587+5 meets the criteria established in this Section for
2588+6 reinstatement of parental rights, the Department of Children
2589+7 and Family Services shall conduct an assessment of the child's
2590+8 circumstances to assist in future planning for the child,
2591+9 including, but not limited to a determination regarding the
2592+10 appropriateness of filing a motion to reinstate parental
2593+11 rights.
