Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Department of Children and Family Services' Statewide Youth Advisory Board Act. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to convene and maintain a Statewide Youth Advisory Board and regional youth advisory boards. Provides that each regional youth advisory board shall work with the Department or its designee to determine how to best provide services to current and former youth in foster care living within each of the regions; and that the Statewide Youth Advisory Board shall advise the Department and the General Assembly with respect to all matters involving or affecting current and former youth in foster care. Sets forth the responsibilities of the Statewide Youth Advisory Board. Contains provisions concerning membership, meetings, operations, and reporting requirements. Provides that meetings of the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and the regional youth advisory boards shall be closed to the public and shall not be subject to the Open Meetings Act. Provides that records and information provided to and maintained by the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and the regional youth advisory boards shall be confidential and not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to exclude the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and the regional youth advisory boards from the definition of "public body".

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Department of Children and Family Services shall not provide a Statewide Youth Advisory Board or a regional youth advisory board with any records or information that a public body may withhold or redact pursuant to a specified provision of the Freedom of Information Act. Provides that records and information "produced by" the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and each regional youth advisory board, "except a specified report submitted to the General Assembly", shall be confidential and not subject to the Freedom of Information Act (rather than records and information provided to and maintained by the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and each regional youth advisory board shall be confidential and not subject to the Freedom of Information Act).
