    AN ACT concerning 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 7.2 as follows:
 



    (325 ILCS 5/7.2)  (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.2)



    Sec. 7.2. 
The Department shall establish a Child Protective 
Service Unit
within each geographic region as designated by the 
Director of the Department.
The Child Protective Service Unit 
shall perform those functions assigned
by this Act to it and 
only such others that would further the purposes of
this Act.  
It shall have a sufficient staff of qualified personnel to

fulfill the purpose of this Act and be organized in such a way 
as to maximize
the continuity of responsibility, care and 
service of the individual
workers toward the individual 
children and families.

    The Child Protective Service Unit shall designate members 
of each unit
to receive specialty training to serve as special 
consultants to unit staff
and the public in the areas of child 
sexual abuse, child deaths and
injuries, and out-of-home 
investigations.

    If a child protective investigator of a Child Protective 
Service Unit is unable to obtain assistance from other unit 
members when responding to a high-risk report of child abuse or 
neglect and the child protective investigator has a reasonable 
belief or suspicion that a subject named in the report has the 
potential for violence, the child protective investigator may 
request assistance from local law enforcement officers to be 
provided at a mutually available time. Law enforcement officers 
shall, upon request, make all reasonable efforts to assist the 
child protective investigator in receiving law enforcement 
assistance from any other police jurisdiction that is outside 
the accompanying officers' primary jurisdiction.
