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.
(705 ILCS 405/5-711) Sec. 5-711. Family Support Program services; hearing. (a) Any minor who is placed in the guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services under Section 5-710 while an application for the Family Support Program was pending with the Department of Healthcare and Family Services or an active application was being reviewed by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall continue to be considered eligible for services if all other eligibility criteria are met. (b) The court shall conduct a hearing within 14 days upon notification to all parties that an application for the Family Support Program services has been approved and services are available. At the hearing, the court shall determine whether to vacate guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services and return the minor to the custody of the parent or guardian with Family Support Program services or whether the minor shall continue in the guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services and decline the Family Support Program services. In making its determination, the court shall consider the minor's best interest, the involvement of the parent or guardian in proceedings under this Act, the involvement of the parent or guardian in the minor's treatment, the relationship between the minor and the parent or guardian, and any other factor the court deems relevant. If the court vacates the guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services and returns the minor to the custody of the parent or guardian with Family Support Services, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall become financially responsible for providing services to the minor. If the court determines that the minor shall continue in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Children and Family Services shall remain financially responsible for providing services to the minor, the Family Support Services shall be declined, and the minor shall no longer be eligible for Family Support Services. (c) This Section does not apply to a minor: (1) for whom a petition has been filed under this Act |
| alleging that the minor is an abused or neglected minor;
|
|
(2) for whom the court has made a finding that the
|
| minor is an abused or neglected minor under this Act except a finding under item (iv) of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 5-710 that an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists; or
|
|
(3) who has been the subject of an indicated
|
| allegation of abuse or neglect by the Department of Children and Family Services, other than for psychiatric lock-out, in which the parent or guardian was the perpetrator within 5 years of the filing of the pending petition.
