IL SB0147

Requires parents or guardians of child performers under age 16 to establish a trust account as a condition for obtaining an employment certificate in Illinois.

Mandates that at least 15% of a child performer's gross earnings be deposited into the trust account, which must be held by a bank, corporate fiduciary, or trust company.

Specifies that trust account funds become available to the child performer only upon turning 18 years old or upon emancipation, and must comply with the Illinois Uniform Transfers to Minors Act.

Allows issuance of temporary employment certificates lasting up to 15 days without a trust account to permit initial performances, with no more than one temporary certificate per child performer.

Exempts child performers employed as extras, background performers, or in similar capacities from the trust account requirement; employers have no monitoring obligations after depositing funds into the account.
