CHILD ABUSE-REPORT TO SCHOOL                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois School Student Records Act and the Abused and      
   Neglected Child Reporting Act.  Provides that  within  10  days  after      
   completing  an  investigation  of  alleged  abuse or neglect, the DCFS      
   Child Protective Service Unit shall send a copy of its final report on      
   the investigation to the school that the child who is the  subject  of      
   the  report attends.  Provides that this information is to be included      
   in the child's  school  student  record.   Provides  that  information      
   concerning  pending  child abuse or neglect reports may be released to      
   the  Department  of  Professional  Regulation,  the  State  Board   of      
   Education, and school superintendents.  Provides that Child Protective      
   Service  Unit forms for reports concerning child abuse or neglect must      
   contain information concerning the  school  that  the  child  attends.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          105 ILCS 10/4                                                        
          325 ILCS 5/7.8                                                       
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          105 ILCS 10/2                   from Ch. 122, par. 50-2              
        Further amends  the  Illinois  School  Student  Records  Act,  to      
   provide  that  a  "student  temporary record", by definition, includes      
   information provided under the Abused and  Neglected  Child  Reporting      
   Act (instead of requiring, substantively, that information included in      
   a  school student record include such information).  In the Abused and      
   Neglected Child Reporting Act, deletes the amendatory  provision  that      
   information  concerning  pending child abuse or neglect reports may be      
   released to the Department of Professional Regulation, the State Board      
   of Education, and school  superintendents.  Requires  that  the  Child      
   Protective  Service  Unit  send  a  copy  of  its final finding report      
   concerning an investigation of alleged physical or sexual abuse to the      
   school if the report is indicated, and provides  that  the  school  is      
   responsible   for  ensuring  that  the  report  remains  confidential.      
   Provides for purging a final finding report from a student's record if      
   an indicated finding of abuse is overturned, DCFS determines that  the      
   child  is  no  longer at risk, or an indicated report is expunged from      
   the central register. Deletes the bill's immediate effective date.
