    AN ACT concerning regulation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Child Care Act of 1969 is amended by
changing Section 5.2 as follows:
 
    (225 ILCS 10/5.2)
    Sec. 5.2. Unsafe children's products.
    (a) A child care facility may not use or have on the
premises, on or after July 1, 2000, an unsafe children's
product as described in Section 15 of the Children's Product
Safety Act. This subsection (a) does not apply to an antique or
collectible children's product if it is not used by, or
accessible to, any child in the child care facility.
    (b) The Department of Children and Family Services shall
notify child care facilities, on an ongoing basis, including
during the license application facility examination and during
annual license monitoring visits, of the provisions of this
Section and the Children's Product Safety Act and of the
comprehensive list of unsafe children's products as provided
and maintained by the Department of Public Health available on
the Internet, as determined in accordance with that Act, in
plain, non-technical language that will enable each child care
facility to effectively inspect children's products and
identify unsafe children's products. The Department of
Children and Family Services shall adopt rules to maintain data
on child care facilities without Internet access and shall
ensure the child care facilities without Internet access
register for available mailing lists of pertinent recalls
distributed in paper form. The Department of Children and
Family Services must make the comprehensive list available to
those facilities that do not have Internet access. Child care
facilities must maintain all written information provided
pursuant to this subsection in a file accessible to both
facility staff and parents of children attending the facility.
Child care facilities must post in prominent locations
regularly visited by parents written notification of the
existence of the comprehensive list of unsafe children's
products available on the Internet. The Department of Children
and Family Services shall adopt rules to carry out this
Section.
