CRONIN. (MADIGAN,MJ-CROTTY-MCAULIFFE-GARRETT) 105 ILCS 5/14-8.02 from Ch. 122, par. 14-8.02 Amends the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code. Provides that the provision requiring the assignment of a surrogate parent for educational matters does not apply to a child who resides with a foster parent. Requires a surrogate parent (who is an employee of a nonpublic agency that provides only non-educational care) to be assigned for educational matters if the child is a ward of the State residing in a residential facility. Effective immediately. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. For a child who is a ward of the State residing in a residential facility, allows (instead of requires) the surrogate parent to be an employee of a nonpublic agency that provides only non-educational care. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Removes language that provides that the provision requiring the assignment of a surrogate parent for educational matters does not apply to a child who resides with a foster parent. Provides instead that the term "parent" includes a foster parent in that Section. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. (Tabled April 5, 2000) Adds reference to: 105 ILCS 5/21-28 new Further amends the School Code. Requires special education teachers to be categorically certified, so that in order to teach students with a specific disability, a special education teacher must be certified for that specific disability category. Prohibits the State Board of Education from requiring any other type of certification relating to more than one disability category. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1, 2 (State Board of Education) There will be little if any fiscal impact to implement this legislation. However, if the teacher certification process mandated by the bill does not comply with the federal IDEA and the Corey H. court settlement agreement, there could be fines and sanctions against the State. It is difficult to quantify this possibility or the financial magnitude of such fines and sanctions. STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1, 2 (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note. FISCAL NOTE, AMENDED (Dept. of Children and Family Services) The legislation, as amended, does not cause costs for the De- partment beyond those of the surrogate parent training now being offered to foster parents. No additional costs to the Department are anticipated, nor does the Department anticipate additional costs to foster parents or residential facilities as the result of the legislation. 00-01-26 S FIRST READING 00-01-26 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 00-02-09 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EDUCATION 00-02-16 S DO PASS 010-000-000 SESE 00-02-16 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 00-02-17 00-02-23 S FILED WITH SECRETARY 00-02-23 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-CRONIN 00-02-23 S AMENDMENT REFERRED TO SRUL 00-02-23 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-CRONIN 00-02-23 S RULES REFERS TO SESE 00-02-24 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-CRONIN 00-02-24 S BE ADOPTED SESE/007-000-000 00-02-24 S SECOND READING 00-02-24 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-CRONIN 00-02-24 S ADOPTED 00-02-24 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 00-02-25 00-02-25 S THIRD READING - PASSED 059-000-000 00-02-25 H ARRIVE IN HOUSE 00-02-25 H PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 00-02-29 H HOUSE SPONSOR DANIELS 00-02-29 H ALTERNATE PRIMARY SPONSOR CHANGED TO MCAULIFFE 00-02-29 H ALTERNATE PRIMARY SPONSOR CHANGED TO MADIGAN,MJ 00-02-29 H FIRST READING 00-02-29 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 00-03-07 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR CROTTY 00-03-09 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE CHLDRN YOUTH 00-03-23 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-CHLDRN-YOUTH H 00-03-23 H ADOPTED 00-03-23 H AMENDMENT NO. 02-CHLDRN-YOUTH H 00-03-23 H ADOPTED 00-03-23 H DO PASS AMENDED/SHORT DEBATE 009-000-000 HCHY 00-03-23 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-03-23 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR GARRETT 00-03-28 H JOINT-ALTERNATE-SPONSOR CHANGED TO CROTTY 00-03-28 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED COWLISHAW 00-03-28 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED COWLISHAW 00-03-28 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-03-30 H FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND 1&2 00-03-30 H STATE MNDT FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMEND 1&2 00-03-30 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-04-03 H FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED 00-04-03 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-04-05 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-04-05 H MOTION TO TABLE AMENDMENT - PREVAILED 02 00-04-05 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-04-06 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 118-000-000 00-04-06 S SECRETARYS DESK - CONCURRENCE 01 00-04-11 S FILED WITH SECRETARY 00-04-11 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/CRONIN 00-04-11 S MOTION REFERRED TO SRUL 00-04-11 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/CRONIN 00-04-11 S RULES REFERS TO SESE 00-04-11 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/CRONIN 00-04-11 S BE ADOPTED SESE/008-000-000 00-04-12 S MOTION TO CONCUR - HOUSE AMENDMENT NO 01/CRONIN 00-04-12 S SEN CONCURS IN HSE AMENDMENTS (NO.) 01/058-000-000 00-04-12 S PASSED BOTH HOUSES 00-05-11 S SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 00-06-09 S GOVERNOR APPROVED 00-06-09 S EFFECTIVE DATE 00-06-09 00-06-09 S PUBLIC ACT.............................. 91-0784 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
