AI Summary

  • Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 to change the standard for DCFS restricting or terminating parent-child and sibling contact from "contrary to" the child's health, safety, and welfare to "result in an immediate threat" to the child's health, safety, and welfare.

  • Requires that any reasonable belief to restrict contact must be based on credible evidence and occur on an individual case-by-case basis.

  • Allows DCFS to immediately restrict or terminate parent-child or sibling contact without amending the visitation plan or obtaining a court order when circumstances meet the immediate threat standard.

  • Requires DCFS to file amended plans with the court and serve parties within 10 days of any changes to visitation restrictions.
