AI Summary

  • Amends the Children and Family Services Act and the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act to define "safety plan" as a written condition that limits, restricts, or modifies a parent or guardian's interaction with their child, excluding court-ordered conditions under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

  • Requires the Department's case tracking system to monitor and provide data concerning families subject to safety plans, and mandates that safety plans must be reviewed every 5 business days to determine if the basis still exists.

  • Establishes specific requirements for safety plans, including: limited duration, specification of contact limitations, background checks for caregivers, least restrictive arrangement possible, and certification requirements before child placement.

  • Adds provisions allowing parents or guardians subject to a safety plan to request timely neutral review of the plan's basis or conditions, with the Department required to adopt rules ensuring review opportunities.

  • Modifies temporary protective custody standards to require imminent danger to the child, no time for court order, and objective reasonable evidence of abuse or neglect; prohibits maintaining custody or safety plans when danger no longer exists or evidence is lacking.
