A message from the Senate by
Mr. Harry, Secretary:
[May 2, 2001] 6
Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives
that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in the
passage of a bill of the following title to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 632
A bill for AN ACT in relation to children.
Together with the attached amendment thereto (which amendment has
been printed by the Senate), in the adoption of which I am instructed
to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit:
Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 632.
Passed the Senate, as amended, May 2, 2001.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 632 as follows:
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Abandoned
Newborn Infant Protection Act.
Section 5. Public policy. Illinois recognizes that newborn infants
have been abandoned to the environment or to other circumstances that
may be unsafe to the newborn infant. These circumstances have caused
injury and death to newborn infants and give rise to potential civil or
criminal liability to parents who may be under severe emotional
distress. This Act is intended to provide a mechanism for a newborn
infant to be relinquished to a safe environment and for the parents of
the infant to remain anonymous if they choose and to avoid civil or
criminal liability for the act of relinquishing the infant. It is
recognized that establishing an adoption plan is preferable to
relinquishing a child using the procedures outlined in this Act, but to
reduce the chance of injury to a newborn infant, this Act provides a
safer alternative.
A public information campaign on this delicate issue shall be
implemented to encourage parents considering abandonment of their
newborn child to relinquish the child under the procedures outlined in
this Act, to choose a traditional adoption plan, or to parent a child
themselves rather than place the newborn infant in harm's way.
Section 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Abandon" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act.
"Abused child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected
Child Reporting Act.
"Child-placing agency" means a licensed public or private agency
that receives a child for the purpose of placing or arranging for the
placement of the child in a foster family home or other facility for
child care, apart from the custody of the child's parents.
"Department" or "DCFS" means the Illinois Department of Children
and Family Services.
"Emergency medical facility" means a freestanding emergency center
or trauma center, as defined in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Systems Act.
"Emergency medical professional" includes licensed physicians, and
any emergency medical technician-basic, emergency medical
technician-intermediate, emergency medical technician-paramedic, trauma
nurse specialist, and pre-hospital RN, as defined in the Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act.
"Fire station" means a fire station within the State that is
staffed with at least one full-time emergency medical professional.
"Hospital" has the same meaning as in the Hospital Licensing Act.
"Legal custody" means the relationship created by a court order in
the best interest of a newborn infant that imposes on the infant's
7 [May 2, 2001]
custodian the responsibility of physical possession of the infant, the
duty to protect, train, and discipline the infant, and the duty to
provide the infant with food, shelter, education, and medical care,
except as these are limited by parental rights and responsibilities.
"Neglected child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act.
"Newborn infant" means a child who a licensed physician reasonably
believes is 72 hours old or less at the time the child is initially
relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical
facility, and who is not an abused or a neglected child.
"Relinquish" means to bring a newborn infant, who a licensed
physician reasonably believes is 72 hours old or less, to a hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility and to leave the infant
with personnel of the facility, if the person leaving the infant does
not express an intent to return for the infant or states that he or she
will not return for the infant. In the case of a mother who gives birth
to an infant in a hospital, the mother's act of leaving that newborn
infant at the hospital (i) without expressing an intent to return for
the infant or (ii) stating that she will not return for the infant is
not a "relinquishment" under this Act.
"Temporary protective custody" means the temporary placement of a
newborn infant within a hospital or other medical facility out of the
custody of the infant's parent.
Section 15. Presumptions.
(a) There is a presumption that by relinquishing a newborn infant
in accordance with this Act, the infant's parent consents to the
termination of his or her parental rights with respect to the infant.
(b) There is a presumption that a person relinquishing a newborn
infant in accordance with this Act:
(1) is the newborn infant's biological parent; and
(2) either without expressing an intent to return for the
infant or expressing an intent not to return for the infant, did
intend to relinquish the infant to the hospital, fire station, or
emergency medical facility to treat, care for, and provide for the
infant in accordance with this Act.
(c) A parent of a relinquished newborn infant may rebut the
presumption set forth in either subsection (a) or subsection (b)
pursuant to Section 55, at any time before the termination of the
parent's parental rights.
Section 20. Procedures with respect to relinquished newborn
infants.
(a) Hospitals. Every hospital must accept and provide all
necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant,
in accordance with this Act. The hospital shall examine a relinquished
newborn infant and perform tests that, based on reasonable medical
judgment, are appropriate in evaluating whether the relinquished
newborn infant was abused or neglected.
The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent
for the hospital and its medical personnel and physicians on staff to
treat and provide care for the infant.
The hospital shall be deemed to have temporary protective custody
of a relinquished newborn infant until the infant is discharged to the
custody of a child-placing agency or the Department.
(b) Fire stations and emergency medical facilities. Every fire
station and emergency medical facility must accept and provide all
necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant,
in accordance with this Act.
The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent
for the fire station or emergency medical facility and its emergency
medical professionals to treat and provide care for the infant, to the
extent that those emergency medical professionals are trained to
provide those services.
After the relinquishment of a newborn infant to a fire station or
emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical
facility's personnel must arrange for the transportation of the infant
to the nearest hospital as soon as transportation can be arranged.
[May 2, 2001] 8
If the parent of a newborn infant returns to reclaim the child
within 72 hours after relinquishing the child to a fire station or
emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical
facility must inform the parent of the name and location of the
hospital to which the infant was transported.
Section 25. Immunity for relinquishing person.
(a) The act of relinquishing a newborn infant to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility in accordance with this Act does
not, by itself, constitute a basis for a finding of abuse, neglect, or
abandonment of the infant pursuant to the laws of this State nor does
it, by itself, constitute a violation of Section 12-21.5 or 12-21.6 of
the Criminal Code of 1961.
(b) If there is suspected child abuse or neglect that is not based
solely on the newborn infant's relinquishment to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, the personnel of the hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility who are mandated reporters
under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act must report the
abuse or neglect pursuant to that Act.
(c) Neither a child protective investigation nor a criminal
investigation may be initiated solely because a newborn infant is
relinquished pursuant to this Act.
Section 27. Immunity of facility and personnel. A hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, and any personnel of a
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, are immune from
criminal or civil liability for acting in good faith in accordance with
this Act. Nothing in this Act limits liability for negligence for care
and medical treatment.
Section 30. Anonymity of relinquishing person. If there is no
evidence of abuse or neglect of a relinquished newborn infant, the
relinquishing person has the right to remain anonymous and to leave the
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility at any time and
not be pursued or followed. Before the relinquishing person leaves the
hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, the hospital,
fire station, or emergency medical facility personnel shall i) verbally
inform the relinquishing person that by relinquishing the child
anonymously, he or she will have to petition the court if he or she
desires to prevent the termination of parental rights and regain
custody of the child and ii) shall offer the relinquishing person the
information packet described in Section 35 of this Act. However,
nothing in this Act shall be construed as precluding the relinquishing
person from providing his or her identity or completing the application
forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information
Exchange and requesting that the hospital, fire station, or emergency
medical facility forward those forms to the Illinois Adoption Registry
and Medical information Exchange.
Section 35. Information for relinquishing person. A hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility that receives a newborn infant
relinquished in accordance with this Act must offer an information
packet to the relinquishing person and, if possible, must clearly
inform the relinquishing person that his or her acceptance of the
information is completely voluntary, that registration with the
Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange is
voluntary, that the person will remain anonymous if he or she completes
a Denial of Information Exchange, and that the person has the option to
provide medical information only and still remain anonymous. The
information packet must include all of the following:
(1) All Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information
Exchange application forms, including the Medical Information
Exchange Questionnaire and the web site address and toll free phone
number of the Registry.
(2) Written notice of the following:
(A) No sooner than 60 days following the date of the
initial relinquishment of the infant to a hospital, fire
station, or emergency medical facility, the child-placing
agency or the Department will commence proceedings for the
termination of parental rights and placement of the infant for
9 [May 2, 2001]
adoption.
(B) Failure of a parent of the infant to contact the
Department and petition for the return of custody of the
infant before termination of parental rights bars any future
action asserting legal rights with respect to the infant.
(3) A resource list of providers of counseling services
including grief counseling, pregnancy counseling, and counseling
regarding adoption and other available options for placement of the
infant.
Upon request, the Department of Public Health shall provide the
application forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical
Information Exchange to hospitals, fire stations, and emergency medical
facilities.
Section 40. Reporting requirements.
(a) Within 12 hours after accepting a newborn infant from a
relinquishing person or from a fire station or emergency medical
facility in accordance with this Act, a hospital must report to the
Department's State Central Registry for the purpose of transferring
physical custody of the infant from the hospital to either a
child-placing agency or the Department.
(b) Within 24 hours after receiving a report under subsection (a),
the Department must request assistance from law enforcement officials
to investigate the matter using the National Crime Information Center
to ensure that the relinquished newborn infant is not a missing child.
(c) Once a hospital has made a report to the Department under
subsection (a), the Department must arrange for a licensed
child-placing agency to accept physical custody of the relinquished
newborn infant.
(d) If a relinquished child is not a newborn infant as defined in
this Act, the hospital and the Department must proceed as if the child
is an abused or neglected child.
Section 45. Medical assistance. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this
Act shall be deemed eligible for medical assistance under the Illinois
Public Aid Code, and a hospital providing medical services to such an
infant shall be reimbursed for those services in accordance with the
payment methodologies authorized under that Code. In addition, for any
day that a hospital has custody of a newborn infant relinquished in
accordance with this Act and the infant does not require medically
necessary care, the hospital shall be reimbursed by the Illinois
Department of Public Aid at the general acute care per diem rate, in
accordance with 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.270(c).
Section 50. Child-placing agency procedures.
(a) The Department's State Central Registry must maintain a list
of licensed child-placing agencies willing to take legal custody of
newborn infants relinquished in accordance with this Act. The
child-placing agencies on the list must be contacted by the Department
on a rotating basis upon notice from a hospital that a newborn infant
has been relinquished in accordance with this Act.
(b) Upon notice from the Department that a newborn infant has been
relinquished in accordance with this Act, a child-placing agency must
accept the newborn infant if the agency has the accommodations to do
so. The child-placing agency must seek an order for legal custody of
the infant upon its acceptance of the infant.
(c) Within 3 business days after assuming physical custody of the
infant, the child-placing agency shall file a petition in the division
of the circuit court in which petitions for adoption would normally be
heard. The petition shall allege that the newborn infant has been
relinquished in accordance with this Act and shall state that the
child-placing agency intends to place the infant in an adoptive home.
(d) If no licensed child-placing agency is able to accept the
relinquished newborn infant, then the Department must assume
responsibility for the infant as soon as practicable.
(e) A custody order issued under subsection (b) shall remain in
effect until a final adoption order based on the relinquished newborn
infant's best interests is issued in accordance with this Act and the
[May 2, 2001] 10
Adoption Act.
(f) When possible, the child-placing agency must place a
relinquished newborn infant in a prospective adoptive home.
(g) The Department or child-placing agency must initiate
proceedings to (i) terminate the parental rights of the relinquished
newborn infant's known or unknown parents, (ii) appoint a guardian for
the infant, and (iii) obtain consent to the infant's adoption in
accordance with this Act no sooner than 60 days following the date of
the initial relinquishment of the infant to the hospital, fire station,
or emergency medical facility.
(h) Before filing a petition for termination of parental rights,
the Department or child-placing agency must do the following:
(1) Search its Putative Father Registry for the purpose of
determining the identity and location of the putative father of the
relinquished newborn infant who is, or is expected to be, the
subject of an adoption proceeding, in order to provide notice of
the proceeding to the putative father. At least one search of the
Registry must be conducted, at least 30 days after the relinquished
newborn infant's estimated date of birth; earlier searches may be
conducted, however. Notice to any potential putative father
discovered in a search of the Registry according to the estimated
age of the relinquished newborn infant must be in accordance with
Section 12a of the Adoption Act.
(2) Verify with law enforcement officials, using the National
Crime Information Center, that the relinquished newborn infant is
not a missing child.
Section 55. Petition for return of custody.
(a) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with
this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant before
the termination of parental rights with respect to the infant.
(b) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with
this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant by
contacting the Department for the purpose of obtaining the name of the
child-placing agency and then filing a petition for return of custody
in the circuit court in which the proceeding for the termination of
parental rights is pending.
(c) If a petition for the termination of parental rights has not
been filed by the Department or the child-placing agency, the parent of
the relinquished newborn infant must contact the Department, which must
notify the parent of the appropriate court in which the petition for
return of custody must be filed.
(d) The circuit court may hold the proceeding for the termination
of parental rights in abeyance for a period not to exceed 60 days from
the date that the petition for return of custody was filed without a
showing of good cause. During that period:
(1) The court shall order genetic testing to establish
maternity or paternity, or both.
(2) The Department shall conduct a child protective
investigation and home study to develop recommendations to the
court.
(3) When indicated as a result of the Department's
investigation and home study, further proceedings under the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 as the court determines appropriate, may
be conducted. However, relinquishment of a newborn infant in
accordance with this Act does not render the infant abused,
neglected, or abandoned solely because the newborn infant was
relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical
facility in accordance with this Act.
(e) Failure to file a petition for the return of custody of a
relinquished newborn infant before the termination of parental rights
bars any future action asserting legal rights with respect to the
infant unless the parent's act of relinquishment that led to the
termination of parental rights involved fraud perpetrated against and
not stemming from or involving the parent. No action to void or revoke
the termination of parental rights of a parent of a newborn infant
relinquished in accordance with this Act, including an action based on
11 [May 2, 2001]
fraud, may be commenced after 12 months after the date that the newborn
infant was initially relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or
emergency medical facility.
Section 60. Department's duties. The Department must implement a
public information program to promote safe placement alternatives for
newborn infants. The public information program must inform the public
of the following:
(1) The relinquishment alternative provided for in this Act,
which results in the adoption of a newborn infant under 72 hours of
age and which provides for the parent's anonymity, if the parent so
chooses.
(2) The alternative of adoption through a public or private
agency, in which the parent's identity may or may not be known to
the agency, but is kept anonymous from the adoptive parents, if the
birth parent so desires, and which allows the parent to be actively
involved in the child's adoption plan.
The public information program may include, but need not be limited
to, the following elements:
(i) Educational and informational materials in print, audio,
video, electronic or other media.
(ii) Establishment of a web site.
(iii) Public service announcements and advertisements.
(iv) Establishment of toll-free telephone hotlines to provide
information.
Section 65. Evaluation.
(a) The Department shall collect and analyze information regarding
the relinquishment of newborn infants and placement of children under
this Act. Fire stations, emergency medical facilities, and medical
professionals accepting and providing services to a newborn infant
under this Act shall report to the Department data necessary for the
Department to evaluate and determine the effect of this Act in the
prevention of injury or death of newborn infants. Child-placing
agencies shall report to the Department data necessary to evaluate and
determine the effectiveness of these agencies in providing child
protective and child welfare services to newborn infants relinquished
under this Act.
(b) The information collected shall include, but need not be
limited to: the number of newborn infants relinquished; the services
provided to relinquished newborn infants; the outcome of care for the
relinquished newborn infants; the number and disposition of cases of
relinquished newborn infants subject to placement; the number of
children accepted and served by child-placing agencies; and the
services provided by child-placing agencies and the disposition of the
cases of the children placed under this Act.
(c) The Department shall submit a report by January 1, 2002, and
on January 1 of each year thereafter, to the Governor and General
Assembly regarding the prevention of injury or death of newborn infants
and the effect of placements of children under this Act. The report
shall include, but need not be limited to, a summary of collected data,
an analysis of the data and conclusions regarding the Act's
effectiveness, a determination whether the purposes of the Act are
being achieved, and recommendations for changes that may be considered
necessary to improve the administration and enforcement of this Act.
Section 70. Construction of Act. Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to preclude the courts of this State from exercising their
discretion to protect the health and safety of children in individual
cases. The best interests and welfare of a child shall be a paramount
consideration in the construction and interpretation of this Act. It is
in the child's best interests that this Act be construed and
interpreted so as not to result in extending time limits beyond those
set forth in this Act.
Section 75. Repeal. This Act is repealed on July 1, 2007.
Section 90. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by changing
Section 4-1.2 as follows:
(305 ILCS 5/4-1.2) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-1.2)
Sec. 4-1.2. Living Arrangements - Parents - Relatives - Foster
[May 2, 2001] 12
Care.
(a) The child or children must (1) be living with his or their
father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, stepfather,
stepmother, stepbrother, stepsister, uncle or aunt, or other relative
approved by the Illinois Department, in a place of residence maintained
by one or more of such relatives as his or their own home, or (2) have
been (a) removed from the home of the parents or other relatives by
judicial order under the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act

the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that minor.
Whether the minor was left without regard for the mental or
physical health, safety, or welfare of that minor or the period of time
was unreasonable shall be determined by considering the following
factors, including but not limited to:
(1) the age of the minor;
(2) the number of minors left at the location;

herein solely for the purpose of qualifying for financial assistance
for himself, his parents, guardian or custodian.
(Source: P.A. 89-21, eff. 7-1-95; 90-239, eff. 7-28-97.)

physical custody or control of the child made a good faith effort
to provide for the health and safety of the child;
(13) the age and physical and mental capabilities of the
person or persons who provided supervision for the child;

(Source: P.A. 90-687, eff. 7-31-98.)
Section 96.5. The Neglected Children Offense Act is amended by
changing Section 2 as follows:
(720 ILCS 130/2) (from Ch. 23, par. 2361)
Sec. 2. Any parent, legal guardian or person having the custody of
a child under the age of 18 years, who knowingly or wilfully causes,
aids or encourages such person to be or to become a dependent and
neglected child as defined in section 1, who knowingly or wilfully does
acts which directly tend to render any such child so dependent and
neglected, or who knowingly or wilfully fails to do that which will
directly tend to prevent such state of dependency and neglect is guilty
of the Class A misdemeanor of contributing to the dependency and
neglect of children, except that a person who relinquishes a child in
accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act is not
guilty of that misdemeanor. Instead of imposing the punishment
hereinbefore provided, the court may release the defendant from custody
on probation for one year upon his or her entering into recognizance
17 [May 2, 2001]
with or without surety in such sum as the court directs. The conditions
of the recognizance shall be such that if the defendant appears
personally in court whenever ordered to do so within the year and
provides and cares for such neglected and dependent child in such
manner as to prevent a continuance or repetition of such state of
dependency and neglect or as otherwise may be directed by the court
then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise it shall be of full
force and effect. If the court is satisfied by information and due
proof under oath that at any time during the year the defendant has
violated the terms of such order it may forthwith revoke the order and
sentence him or her under the original conviction. Unless so sentenced,
the defendant shall at the end of the year be discharged. In case of
forfeiture on the recognizance the sum recovered thereon may in the
discretion of the court be paid in whole or in part to someone
designated by the court for the support of such dependent and neglected
child.

Section 97. The Adoption Act is amended by changing Section 1 as
follows:
(750 ILCS 50/1) (from Ch. 40, par. 1501)
Sec. 1. Definitions. When used in this Act, unless the context
otherwise requires:
A. "Child" means a person under legal age subject to adoption

step-sister, uncle, aunt, great-uncle, great-aunt, or cousin of first
degree. A child whose parent has executed a final irrevocable consent
to adoption or a final irrevocable surrender for purposes of adoption,
or whose parent has had his or her parental rights terminated, is not a
related child to that person, unless the consent is determined to be
void or is void pursuant to subsection O of Section 10.
C. "Agency" for the purpose of this Act means a public child
welfare agency or a licensed child welfare agency.
D. "Unfit person" means any person whom the court shall find to be
unfit to have a child, without regard to the likelihood that the child
will be placed for adoption. The grounds of unfitness are any one or
more of the following, except that a person shall not be considered an
unfit person for the sole reason that the person has relinquished a
child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act:
(a) Abandonment of the child.
(a-1) Abandonment of a newborn infant in a hospital.
(a-2) Abandonment of a newborn infant in any setting where

(d-1) Substantial neglect, if continuous or repeated, of any
child residing in the household which resulted in the death of that
child.
(e) Extreme or repeated cruelty to the child.
(f) Two or more findings of physical abuse to any children

by the juvenile court hearing the matter to be supported by clear
and convincing evidence; a criminal conviction or a finding of not
guilty by reason of insanity resulting from the death of any child
by physical child abuse; or a finding of physical child abuse
resulting from the death of any child under Section 4-8 of the
Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-21 of the Juvenile Court Act of
[May 2, 2001] 18
1987.
(g) Failure to protect the child from conditions within his
environment injurious to the child's welfare.
(h) Other neglect of, or misconduct toward the child;

order or judgment affecting or determining the rights of the
parents toward the child sought to be adopted in any other
proceeding except such proceedings terminating parental rights as
shall be had under either this Act, the Juvenile Court Act or the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(i) Depravity. Conviction of any one of the following crimes
shall create a presumption that a parent is depraved which can be
overcome only by clear and convincing evidence: (1) first degree
murder in violation of paragraph 1 or 2 of subsection (a) of
Section 9-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or conviction of second
degree murder in violation of subsection (a) of Section 9-2 of the

in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; (4) solicitation to
commit murder of any child, solicitation to commit murder of any
child for hire, or solicitation to commit second degree murder of
any child in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; or (5)
aggravated criminal sexual assault in violation of Section
12-14(b)(1) of the Criminal Code of 1961.

the parent has been criminally convicted of at least 3 felonies
under the laws of this State or any other state, or under federal
law, or the criminal laws of any United States territory; and at
least one of these convictions took place within 5 years of the
filing of the petition or motion seeking termination of parental
rights.
There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is depraved if
that parent has been criminally convicted of either first or second
degree murder of any person as defined in the Criminal Code of 1961
within 10 years of the filing date of the petition or motion to
terminate parental rights.
(j) Open and notorious adultery or fornication.
(j-1) (Blank).
(k) Habitual drunkenness or addiction to drugs, other than
those prescribed by a physician, for at least one year immediately
prior to the commencement of the unfitness proceeding.

gives birth where there is a confirmed test result that at birth
the child's blood, urine, or meconium contained any amount of a
controlled substance as defined in subsection (f) of Section 102 of
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or metabolites of such
substances, the presence of which in the newborn infant was not the
result of medical treatment administered to the mother or the
newborn infant; and the biological mother of this child is the
biological mother of at least one other child who was adjudicated a
neglected minor under subsection (c) of Section 2-3 of the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987.
(l) Failure to demonstrate a reasonable degree of interest,
concern or responsibility as to the welfare of a new born child
during the first 30 days after its birth.
(m) Failure by a parent (i) to make reasonable efforts to
correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the
child from the parent, or (ii) to make reasonable progress toward
the return of the child to the parent within 9 months after an
adjudication of neglected or abused minor under Section 2-3 of the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or dependent minor under Section 2-4 of
that Act, or (iii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of
19 [May 2, 2001]
the child to the parent during any 9-month period after the end of
the initial 9-month period following the adjudication of neglected
or abused minor under Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
or dependent minor under Section 2-4 of that Act. If a service plan
has been established as required under Section 8.2 of the Abused
and Neglected Child Reporting Act to correct the conditions that
were the basis for the removal of the child from the parent and if
those services were available, then, for purposes of this Act,
"failure to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child
to the parent" includes (I) the parent's failure to substantially
fulfill his or her obligations under the service plan and correct
the conditions that brought the child into care within 9 months
after the adjudication under Section 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 and (II) the parent's failure to substantially
fulfill his or her obligations under the service plan and correct
the conditions that brought the child into care during any 9-month
period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the
adjudication under Section 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987.
(m-1) Pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, a child has
been in foster care for 15 months out of any 22 month period which
begins on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1998 unless the child's parent can prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that it is more likely than not that it will be in the
best interests of the child to be returned to the parent within 6
months of the date on which a petition for termination of parental
rights is filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The 15 month
time limit is tolled during any period for which there is a court
finding that the appointed custodian or guardian failed to make
reasonable efforts to reunify the child with his or her family,
provided that (i) the finding of no reasonable efforts is made
within 60 days of the period when reasonable efforts were not made
or (ii) the parent filed a motion requesting a finding of no
reasonable efforts within 60 days of the period when reasonable
efforts were not made. For purposes of this subdivision (m-1), the
date of entering foster care is the earlier of: (i) the date of a
judicial finding at an adjudicatory hearing that the child is an
abused, neglected, or dependent minor; or (ii) 60 days after the
date on which the child is removed from his or her parent,
guardian, or legal custodian.
(n) Evidence of intent to forgo his or her parental rights,
whether or not the child is a ward of the court, (1) as manifested
by his or her failure for a period of 12 months: (i) to visit the
child, (ii) to communicate with the child or agency, although able
to do so and not prevented from doing so by an agency or by court
order, or (iii) to maintain contact with or plan for the future of
the child, although physically able to do so, or (2) as manifested
by the father's failure, where he and the mother of the child were
unmarried to each other at the time of the child's birth, (i) to
commence legal proceedings to establish his paternity under the
Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 or the law of the jurisdiction of
the child's birth within 30 days of being informed, pursuant to
Section 12a of this Act, that he is the father or the likely father
of the child or, after being so informed where the child is not yet
born, within 30 days of the child's birth, or (ii) to make a good
faith effort to pay a reasonable amount of the expenses related to
the birth of the child and to provide a reasonable amount for the
financial support of the child, the court to consider in its
determination all relevant circumstances, including the financial
condition of both parents; provided that the ground for termination
provided in this subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available
where the petition is brought by the mother or the husband of the
mother.
Contact or communication by a parent with his or her child
that does not demonstrate affection and concern does not constitute
reasonable contact and planning under subdivision (n). In the
[May 2, 2001] 20
absence of evidence to the contrary, the ability to visit,
communicate, maintain contact, pay expenses and plan for the future
shall be presumed. The subjective intent of the parent, whether
expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the foregoing
parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not preclude a
determination that the parent has intended to forgo his or her
parental rights. In making this determination, the court may
consider but shall not require a showing of diligent efforts by an
authorized agency to encourage the parent to perform the acts
specified in subdivision (n).
It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation under
paragraph (2) of this subsection that the father's failure was due
to circumstances beyond his control or to impediments created by
the mother or any other person having legal custody. Proof of that
fact need only be by a preponderance of the evidence.
(o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents, although
physically and financially able, to provide the child with adequate
food, clothing, or shelter.
(p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities
supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist, licensed
clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist of mental
impairment, mental illness or mental retardation as defined in
Section 1-116 of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
Code, or developmental disability as defined in Section 1-106 of
that Code, and there is sufficient justification to believe that
the inability to discharge parental responsibilities shall extend
beyond a reasonable time period. However, this subdivision (p)
shall not be construed so as to permit a licensed clinical social
worker to conduct any medical diagnosis to determine mental illness
or mental impairment.
(q) The parent has been criminally convicted of aggravated
battery, heinous battery, or attempted murder of any child.
(r) The child is in the temporary custody or guardianship of

has been charged with is a forcible felony, stalking, aggravated
stalking, domestic battery, any violation of either the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act that is
classified as a Class 2 or greater felony, or any felony violation
of Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961; the court may, however,
forgo the imposition of this condition when the circumstances of
the case clearly do not warrant it or when its imposition would be
impractical; all legally possessed firearms shall be returned to
the person upon that person completing a sentence for a conviction
on a misdemeanor domestic battery, upon the charges being
dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty, unless the finding

the conditions of bail, pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code. The
court may change the conditions of bail to include a requirement that
the defendant follow the recommendations of the psychological
evaluation, including undergoing psychiatric treatment. The

from the defendant during its administration are not admissible as
evidence of guilt during the course of any trial on the charged
offense, unless the defendant places his or her mental competency in
issue.
(b) The court may impose other conditions, such as the following,

scholarships. All repayments collected under this Section shall be
forwarded to the State Comptroller for deposit into the General Revenue
Fund.

who has been convicted of a criminal offense that would disqualify that
person from receiving teacher certification in this State.
(l) If a scholarship recipient satisfies the president of the
institution of higher learning in which the recipient is enrolled (or
someone designated by the president) that the recipient requires a
leave of absence for the purpose of earning funds to defray his or
her expenses while enrolled in the institution, for study abroad or
internship study, or on account of illness or military service, then
leave may be granted for a period of time not to exceed 6 years (with
time spent in the armed forces not included as part of this time limit)
without violating the agreement entered into pursuant to subsection (f)
of this Section.
49 [May 2, 2001]
(m) Scholarship amounts due to an institution of higher
learning shall be payable by the Comptroller to that institution on
vouchers approved by the Commission.
(n) The Commission shall administer the program created under this
Section and shall adopt all necessary and proper rules not inconsistent
with this Section for the program's effective implementation. All
applications for scholarship assistance shall be made to the Commission
in a form as set forth by the Commission. The form of application and
the information required to be set forth in the application shall be
determined by the Commission, and the Commission shall require
applicants to submit with their applications any supporting documents
that the Commission deems necessary.
(o) If an appropriation to the Commission for a given fiscal year
is insufficient to provide scholarships to all qualified applicants,
then the Commission shall allocate the available scholarship funds for
that fiscal year on the basis of the date the Commission receives a
complete application form from a qualified applicant.
Section 15. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by adding Section
3-648 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-648 new)
Sec. 3-648. Education license plates.
(a) The Secretary, upon receipt of an application made in the form
prescribed by the Secretary, may issue special registration plates
designated as Education license plates. The special plates issued
under this Section shall be affixed only to passenger vehicles of the
first division and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not
more than 8,000 pounds. Plates issued under this Section shall expire
according to the multi-year procedure established by Section 3-414.1 of
this Code.
(b) The design and color of the plates shall be determined by a
contest that every elementary school pupil in the State of Illinois is
eligible to enter. The designs submitted for the contest shall be
judged on September 30, 2002, and the winning design shall be selected
by a committee composed of the Secretary, the Director of State Police,
2 members of the Senate, one member chosen by the President of the
Senate and one member chosen by the Senate Minority Leader, and 2
members of the House of Representatives, one member chosen by the
Speaker of the House and one member chosen by the House Minority
Leader. The Secretary may allow the plates to be issued as vanity or
personalized plates under Section 3-405.1 of the Code. The Secretary
shall prescribe stickers or decals as provided under Section 3-412 of
this Code.
(c) An applicant for the special plate shall be charged a $40 fee
for original issuance, in addition to the appropriate registration fee.
Of this $40 additional original issuance fee, $15 shall be deposited
into the Secretary of State Special License Plate Fund, to be used by
the Secretary to help defray the administrative processing costs, and
$25 shall be deposited into the Illinois Future Teacher Corps
Scholarship Fund. For each registration renewal period, a $40 fee, in
addition to the appropriate registration fee, shall be charged. Of this
$40 additional renewal fee, $2 shall be deposited into the Secretary of
State Special License Plate Fund and $38 shall be deposited into the
Illinois Future Teacher Corps Scholarship Fund. Each fiscal year, once
deposits from the additional original issuance and renewal fees into
the Secretary of State Special License Plate Fund have reached
$500,000, all the amounts received for the additional fees for the
balance of the fiscal year shall be deposited into the Illinois Future
Teacher Corps Scholarship Fund.
(d) The Illinois Future Teacher Corps Scholarship Fund is created
as a special fund in the State treasury. All moneys in the Illinois
Future Teacher Corps Scholarship Fund shall be appropriated to the
Illinois Student Assistance Commission for scholarships under Section
65.65 of the Higher Education Student Assistance Act.
