 8        "Section  5.   The  Children  and  Family Services Act is
 9    amended by changing Section 35.3 as follows:
10        (20 ILCS 505/35.3)
11        Sec.  35.3.   (a)  Confidentiality   of   foster   parent
12    identifying   information.   Because  foster  parents  accept
13    placements into their residences, it is  the  policy  of  the
14    State  of  Illinois  to protect foster parents' addresses and
15    telephone numbers  from  disclosure.   The  Department  shall
16    adopt  rules to effectuate this policy and provide sufficient
17    prior notice of any authorized disclosure for foster  parents
18    to  seek  an  order  of  protection under Section 2-25 of the
19    Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
20        (b)  A person to whom disclosure  of  a  foster  parent's
21    name, address, or telephone number is made under this Section
                            -2-            LRB9006965SMdvam01
 1    shall  not  redisclose that information except as provided in
 2    this Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.  Any  person  who
 3    knowingly  and  willfully rediscloses a foster parent's name,
 4    address, or telephone number in violation of this Section  is
 5    guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
 6    (Source: P.A. 90-15, eff. 6-13-97.)
 7        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
 8    becoming law.".
