Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that upon issuing a temporary custody order for an alleged abused, neglected, or dependent minor, the court may appoint one or both parents or the legal guardian of the minor as the educational surrogate or early intervention program surrogate for the minor upon request if the parent or legal guardian requests the appointment and the court finds that the best interests of the minor are consistent with the appointment. Provides that the court may appoint a person other than a parent or legal guardian as educational surrogate or early intervention program surrogate if the person is not a party to the abuse, neglect, or dependency of the minor, is familiar with the needs of the minor, and the parent or legal guardian does not request appointment or is unavailable. Provides that an educational surrogate for a minor in need of special education services or an early intervention program surrogate shall meet the requirements of applicable federal and State laws and rules governing educational surrogates or early intervention program surrogates for minors. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that upon issuing a temporary custody order concerning an abused, neglected, or dependent minor, if the minor is in need of special education services or early intervention services the court may appoint one or both parents or the minor's legal guardian who is a respondent as the educational surrogate parent or early intervention program surrogate parent for the minor if: (1) the parent or legal guardian respondent requests the appointment; and (2) the court finds that the best interests of the minor are consistent with the appointment. Provides that the court may appoint a person other than a parent or legal guardian respondent as educational surrogate parent or early intervention program surrogate parent of the minor if: (1) the person is not a party to the abuse, neglect, or dependency of the minor; (2) the person is familiar with the needs of the minor; (3) a parent or guardian does not request appointment, is unavailable, or the court denies the request for appointment by a parent or guardian respondent; and (4) the court finds that the best interests of the minor are consistent with the appointment. Establishes qualifications of an educational surrogate parent or an early intervention program surrogate parent. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that upon issuing an order for temporary custody, whenever a special education services or early intervention services surrogate parent is appointed for a minor under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (rather than if the minor is in need of special education services or early intervention services), the court may appoint one or both parents or the minor's legal guardian who is a respondent as the educational surrogate parent or early intervention program surrogate parent for the minor if: (1) the parent or legal guardian respondent requests the appointment; and (2) the court finds that the best interests of the minor are consistent with the appointment. Deletes a provision that an educational surrogate parent or early intervention program surrogate parent shall meet the requirements of applicable State laws and rules governing educational surrogate parents or early intervention program surrogate parents.
