Summary
Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Expands the definition of "abused child" to include a child abused by a professional working with the child in his or her professional capacity who inflicts corporal punishment. Expands the definition of "neglected child" to include a child who is subjected to an environment which is injurious insofar as (i) the child's environment creates a likelihood of harm to the child's health, physical well-being, or welfare and (ii) the likely harm to the child is the result of the conduct of a professional who, while working in his or her professional capacity with the child, neglects his or her professional responsibilities or engages in conduct that is contrary to his or her professional responsibilities. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to adopt rules, by January 1, 2016, that address and set forth criteria and standards relevant to (1) investigations of reports of abuse or neglect committed by professionals working with children or adult residents in their professional capacity; and (2) investigations of allegations of harm to children or adult residents who are in child care facilities licensed by the Department under the Child Care Act of 1969, transitional living programs, or unlicensed foster homes. Provides that the Department is authorized and required to release information from unfounded reports as necessary in its determination to protect children and adult residents who are in child care facilities licensed by the Department under the Child Care Act of 1969.

The SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 2 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b workgroup shall do all of the following:
SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 3 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b (1) two representatives of the Department, including at least one who is familiar with child care facilities licensed by the Department under the Child Care Act of 1969 that provide residential services;

Subject to appropriations, beginning June 1, 2016, the Department shall implement a 5-year pilot program of multi-dimensional treatment foster care, or a substantially similar evidence-based program of professional foster care, for (i) children entering care with severe trauma histories, with the goal of returning the child home or maintaining the child in foster care instead of placing the child in congregate SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 5 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b care or a more restrictive setting or placement, (ii) children who require placement in foster care when they are ready for discharge from a residential treatment facility, and (iii) children who are identified for residential or group home care and who, based on a determination made by the Department, could be placed in a foster home if higher level interventions are provided.

The rules and procedures shall include provisions for when the Department learns of the child care facility's staff's failure to report suspected abuse or neglect of children and the actions the Department will take to (i) ensure that the child care facility takes immediate action with the individual staff involved and (ii) investigate whether the failure to report suspected abuse and neglect was a single incident or part of a larger incident involving additional staff members who failed to report, or whether the failure to report suspected abuse and neglect is a system-wide problem within the SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 7 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b child care facility or child welfare agency.
"Blatant disregard" means an incident where the real, significant, and imminent risk of harm would be so obvious to a reasonable parent or caretaker that it is unlikely that a SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 8 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b reasonable parent or caretaker would have exposed the child to the danger without exercising precautionary measures to protect the child from harm.
"Abused child" means a child whose parent or immediate family member, or any person responsible for the child's welfare, or any individual residing in the same home as the SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 9 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b child, or a paramour of the child's parent:

"Neglected child" means any child who is not receiving the proper or necessary nourishment or medically indicated treatment including food or care not provided solely on the basis of the present or anticipated mental or physical impairment as determined by a physician acting alone or in consultation with other physicians or otherwise is not receiving the proper or necessary support or medical or other remedial care recognized under State law as necessary for a child's well-being, or other care necessary for his or her SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 11 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b well-being, including adequate food, clothing and shelter;
A child shall not be considered neglected for the sole reason that the SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 12 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b child has been relinquished in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act.
or any other person responsible for the child's welfare at the time of the alleged abuse or neglect, including any person that is the custodian of a child under 18 years of age who commits or allows to be committed, against the child, the offense of involuntary servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in persons for forced labor or services, SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 13 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b as provided in Section 10-9 of the Criminal Code of 2012, or any person who came to know the child through an official capacity or position of trust, including but not limited to health care professionals, educational personnel, recreational supervisors, members of the clergy, and volunteers or support personnel in any setting where children may be subject to abuse or neglect.
"Subject of report" means any child reported to the central register of child abuse and neglect established under Section SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 14 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b 7.7 of this Act as an alleged victim of child abuse or neglect and the parent or guardian of the alleged victim or other person responsible for the alleged victim's welfare who is named in the report or added to the report as an alleged perpetrator of child abuse or neglect.
(a) The Department shall be the sole agency responsible for receiving and investigating reports of child abuse or neglect made under this Act, including reports of adult resident abuse or neglect as defined in this Act, except where investigations by other agencies may be required with respect to reports alleging the death of a child, serious injury to a child or sexual abuse to a child made pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 7 of this Act, and except that the Department may delegate the performance of the investigation to the SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 15 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b Department of State Police, a law enforcement agency and to those private social service agencies which have been designated for this purpose by the Department prior to July 1, 1980.
In addition, upon satisfactory identification procedures, to SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 16 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b be established by Department regulation, any person authorized to have access to records under Section 11.1 relating to child abuse and neglect may request and shall be immediately provided the information requested in accordance with this Act.
The names and other identifying data SB1763 EngrossedEnrolled - 17 - LRB099 10385 KTG 30612 b and the dates and the circumstances of any persons requesting or receiving information from the central register shall be entered in the register record.
