    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.
