   permanency goal may be ordered by a judge.  Provides  that  a  hearing      
   officer  may  inspect  and copy juvenile court records.  Provides that      
   the notice of parent's and children's rights to rehearing on temporary      
   custody shall provide that the rehearing should be scheduled within 48      
   hours (instead of one day) of filing the affidavit.  Provides that  in      
   counties  with a population of 3,000,000 or more, a permanency hearing      
   shall be held no later than 12 months after the minor  is  taken  into      
   temporary custody (instead of no later than 16 months).  Provides that      
   the  provisions  concerning court review only apply in counties with a      
   population under 3,000,000.  Removes the requirement  that  notice  be      
   given  to  all  parties  respondent  before proceeding to a permanency      
   hearing.  Adds provisions concerning court review in counties  with  a

   provisions that provide that in the permanency hearing that a  hearing      
   officer  conducts,  the  strict  rules  of  evidence  need  not apply.      
   Provides that in these hearings the  hearing  officer  shall  use  the      
   standard   applied   at   dispositional   hearings   to  rule  on  the      
   admissibility of evidence.  In counties with a population of 3,000,000      
   or more, allows hearing officers to have  certain  additional  powers.      
   Provides that a hearing officer shall assure that a verbatim record is      
   retained for 12 months or until the next permanency hearing, whichever      
   is later.  Effective July 1, 1997.

   court,  at  the  permanency  hearing, shall set a specified permanency      
   goal.  Also provides in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that      
   the permanency hearing shall not be delayed because an agency fails to      
   submit the service plan to the parties  in  advance  of  the  hearing.      
   Deletes  provision requiring the hearing officer to mail a copy of the      
   recommended order to a non-attending party, together with a notice  of
