AN ACT concerning families and children.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act is |
amended by changing Section 7.12 as follows:
|
(325 ILCS 5/7.12) (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.12)
|
Sec. 7.12.
The Child Protective Service Unit shall |
determine,
within 60 days, whether the report is "indicated" or |
"unfounded"
and report it forthwith to the central register; |
where it is
not possible to initiate or complete an |
investigation within
60 days the report may be deemed |
"undetermined" provided every
effort has been made to undertake |
a complete investigation.
The Department may extend the period |
in which such determinations
must be made in individual cases |
for additional periods of up to 30
days each for good cause |
shown. The Department shall by rule establish what
shall |
constitute good cause. |
In those cases in which the Child Protective Service Unit |
has made a final determination that a report is "indicated" or |
"unfounded", the Department shall provide written notification |
of the final determination to the subjects of the report and to |
the alleged perpetrator, parents, personal guardian or legal |
guardian of the alleged child victim, and other persons |
