7-1-25.) Section 10.
The Child Care Act of 1969 is amended by changing Section 3.4 as follows:
HB0871 Enrolled - 72 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b (225 ILCS 10/3.4) (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date) Sec.
3.4.
Standards for certified relative caregiver homes.
(a) No later than July 1, 2025, the Department shall adopt rules outlining the standards for certified relative caregiver homes, which are reasonably in accordance with the national consortium recommendations and federal law and rules, and consistent with the requirements of this Act.
The standards for certified relative caregiver homes shall:
(i) be different from licensing standards used for non-relative foster family homes under Section 4;
(ii) align with the recommendation of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families for implementation of Section 471(a)(10), 471(a)(11), and 471(a)(20) and Section 474 of Title IV-E of the Social Security Act;
(iii) be no more restrictive than, and reasonably in accordance with, national consortium recommendations;
and (iv) address background screening for caregivers and other household residents and assessing home safety and caregiver capacity to meet the identified child's needs.
A guiding premise for certified relative caregiver home standards is that foster care maintenance payments for every relative, starting upon placement, regardless of federal HB0871 Enrolled - 73 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b reimbursement, are critical to ensure that the basic needs and well-being of all children in relative care are being met.
If an agency places a child in the care of a relative, the relative must immediately be provided with adequate support to care for that child.
The Department shall review foster care maintenance payments to ensure that children receive the same amount of foster care maintenance payments whether placed in a certified relative caregiver home or a licensed foster family home.
In developing rules, the Department shall solicit and incorporate feedback from relative caregivers.
No later than 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Department shall begin soliciting input from relatives who are currently or have recently been caregivers to youth in care to develop the rules and procedures to implement the requirements of this Section.
The Department shall solicit this input in a manner convenient for caregivers to participate, including without limitation, in-person convenings at after hours and weekend venues, locations that provide child care, and modalities that are accessible and welcoming to new and experienced relative caregivers from all regions of the State.
The rules shall outline the essential elements of each form used in the implementation and enforcement of the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly.
(b) In order to assess whether standards are met for a HB0871 Enrolled - 74 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b certified relative caregiver home under this Section, the Department or a licensed child welfare agency shall:
(1) complete the home safety and needs assessment and identify and provide any necessary concrete goods or safety modifications to assist the prospective certified relative caregiver in meeting the needs of the specific child or children being placed by the Department, in a manner consistent with Department rule;
(2) assess the ability of the prospective certified relative caregiver to care for the physical, emotional, medical, and educational needs of the specific child or children being placed by the Department using the protocol and form provided through national consortium recommendations;
and (3) using the standard background check form established by rule, complete a background check for each person seeking certified relative caregiver approval and any other adults living in the home as required under this Section.
(c) The Department or a licensed child welfare agency shall conduct the following background screening investigation for every prospective certified relative caregiver and adult resident living in the home:
(1) a name-based State, local, or tribal criminal background check, and as soon as reasonably possible, initiate a fingerprint-based background check;
HB0871 Enrolled - 75 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b (2) a review of this State's Central Registry and registries of any state in which an adult household member has resided in the last 5 years, if applicable to determine if the person has been determined to be a perpetrator in an indicated report of child abuse or neglect;
and (3) a review of the sex offender registry.
No home may be a certified relative caregiver home if any prospective caregivers or adult residents in the home refuse to authorize a background screening investigation as required by this Section.
Only information and standards that bear a reasonable and rational relation to the caregiving capacity of the certified relative caregiver and adult member of the household and overall safety provided by residents of that home shall be used by the Department or licensed child welfare agency.
In approving a certified relative caregiver home in accordance with this Section, if an adult has a criminal record, the Department or licensed child welfare agency shall thoroughly investigate and evaluate the criminal history of the adult and, in so doing, include an assessment of the adult's character and, in the case of the prospective certified relative caregiver, the impact that the criminal history has on the prospective certified relative caregiver's ability to parent the child;
the investigation should consider the type of crime, the number of crimes, the nature of the HB0871 Enrolled - 76 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b offense, the age of the person at the time of the crime, the length of time that has elapsed since the last conviction, the relationship of the crime to the ability to care for children, the role that adult will have with the child, and any evidence of rehabilitation.
In accordance with federal law, a home shall not be approved if the record of the prospective certified relative caregiver's background screening reveals:
(i) a felony conviction for child abuse or neglect, for spousal abuse, for a crime against children crimes against a child, including child pornography, or for a crime involving violence, including human trafficking, sex trafficking, of rape, sexual assault, or homicide, but not including other physical assault or battery;
or (ii) a felony conviction in the last 5 years for physical assault, battery, or a drug-related offense.
If the Department is contemplating denying approval of a certified relative caregiver home, the Department shall provide a written notice in the prospective certified relative caregiver's primary language to each prospective certified relative caregiver before the Department takes final action to deny approval of the home.
This written notice shall include the specific reason or reasons the Department is considering denial, list actions prospective certified relative caregivers can take, if any, to remedy such conditions and the timeframes in which such actions would need to be completed, explain reasonable supports that the Department can provide to assist HB0871 Enrolled - 77 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b the prospective certified relative caregivers in taking remedial actions and how the prospective certified relative caregivers can request such assistance, and provide the recourse prospective certified relative caregivers can seek to resolve disputes about the Department's findings.
The Department shall provide prospective certified relative caregivers reasonable opportunity pursuant to rulemaking to cure any remediable deficiencies that the Department identified before taking final action to deny approval of a certified relative caregiver home.
If conditions have not been remedied after a reasonable opportunity and assistance to cure identified deficiencies has been provided, the Department shall provide a final written notice explaining the reasons for denying the certified relative caregiver home approval and the reconsideration process to review the decision to deny certification.
The Department shall not prohibit a prospective certified relative caregiver from being reconsidered for approval if the prospective certified relative caregivers are able to demonstrate a change in circumstances that improves deficient conditions.
Documentation that a certified relative caregiver home meets the required standards may be filed on behalf of such homes by a licensed child welfare agency, by a State agency authorized to place children in foster care, or by out-of-state agencies approved by the Department to place HB0871 Enrolled - 78 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b children in this State.
For documentation on behalf of a home in which specific children are placed by and remain under supervision of the applicant agency, such agency shall document that the certified relative caregiver home, responsible for the care of related specific children therein, was found to be in reasonable compliance with standards prescribed by the Department for certified relative caregiver homes under this Section.
Certification is applicable to one or more related children and documentation for certification shall indicate the specific child or children who would be eligible for placement in this certified relative caregiver home.
Information concerning criminal convictions of prospective certified relative caregivers and adult residents of a prospective certified relative caregiver home investigated under this Section, including the source of the information, State conviction information provided by the Illinois State Police, and any conclusions or recommendations derived from the information, shall be offered to the prospective certified relative caregivers and adult residents of a prospective certified relative caregiver home, and provided, upon request, to such persons prior to final action by the Department in the certified relative caregiver home approval process.
Any information concerning criminal charges or the disposition of such criminal charges obtained by the Department shall be confidential and may not be transmitted HB0871 Enrolled - 79 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b outside the Department, except as required or permitted by State or federal law, and may not be transmitted to anyone within the Department except as needed for the purpose of evaluating standards for a certified relative caregiver home or for evaluating the placement of a specific child in the home.
Information concerning a prospective certified relative caregiver or an adult resident of a prospective certified relative caregiver home obtained by the Department for the purposes of this Section shall be confidential and exempt from public inspection and copying as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act, and such information shall not be transmitted outside the Department, except as required or authorized by State or federal law, including applicable provisions in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, and shall not be transmitted to anyone within the Department except as provided in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, and shall not be transmitted to anyone within the Department except as needed for the purposes of evaluating homes.
Any employee of the Department, the Illinois State Police, or a licensed child welfare agency receiving confidential information under this Section who gives or causes to be given any confidential information concerning any criminal convictions or child abuse or neglect reports involving a prospective certified relative caregiver or an adult resident of a prospective certified relative caregiver home shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor unless release of HB0871 Enrolled - 80 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b such information is authorized by this Section or Section 11.1 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.
The Department shall permit, but shall not require, a prospective certified relative caregiver who does not yet have eligible children placed by the Department in the relative's home to commence the process to become a certified relative caregiver home for a particular identified child under this Section before a child is placed by the Department if the prospective certified relative caregiver prefers to begin this process in advance of the identified child being placed.
No later than July 1, 2025, the Department shall adopt rules delineating the process for re-assessing a certified relative caregiver home if the identified child is not placed in that home within 6 months of the home becoming certified.
(d) The Department shall ensure that prospective certified relative caregivers are provided with assistance in completing the steps required for approval as a certified relative caregiver home, including, but not limited to, the following types of assistance:
(1) completing forms together with the relative or for the relative, if possible;
(2) obtaining court records or dispositions related to background checks;
(3) accessing translation services;
(4) using mobile fingerprinting devices in the home, and if mobile devices are unavailable, providing HB0871 Enrolled - 81 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b assistance scheduling appointments that are accessible and available at times that fit the household members' schedules, providing transportation and child care to allow the household members to complete fingerprinting appointments, and contracting with community-based fingerprinting locations that offer evening and weekend appointments;
(5) reimbursement or advance payment for the prospective certified relative caregiver to help with reasonable home maintenance to resolve critical safety issues in accordance with Department rulemaking;
and (6) purchasing required safety or comfort items such as a car seat or mattress.
(e) Orientation provided to certified relative caregivers shall include information regarding:
(1) caregivers' right to be heard in juvenile court proceedings;
(2) the availability of the advocacy hotline and Office of the Inspector General that caregivers may use to report incidents of misconduct or violation of rules by Department employees, service providers, or contractors;
(3) the Department's expectations for caregiving obligations including, but not limited to, specific requirements of court orders, critical incident notifications and timeframes, supervision for the child's age and needs, out-of-state travel, and consent HB0871 Enrolled - 82 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b procedures;
(4) assistance available to the certified relative caregivers, including child care, respite care, transportation assistance, case management, training and support groups, kinship navigator services, financial assistance, and after hours and weekend 24 hours, 7 days a week emergency supports, and how to access such assistance;
(5) reasonable and prudent parenting standards;
and (6) permanency options.
Orientation shall be provided in a setting and modality convenient for the residents of the certified relative caregiver home, which shall include the option for one-on-one sessions at the residence, after business hours, and in the primary language of the caregivers.
Training opportunities shall be offered to the residents of the certified relative caregiver home, but shall not be a requirement that delays the certified relative caregiver home approval process from being completed.
The Department or licensed child welfare agency may provide support groups and development opportunities for certified relative caregivers, and take other steps to support permanency, such as offering voluntary training, or concurrent assessments of multiple prospective certified relative caregivers to determine which may be best suited to provide long-term permanency for a particular child.
However, these HB0871 Enrolled - 83 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b support groups and development opportunities shall not be requirements for prospective certified relative caregiver homes or delay immediate placement and support to a relative who satisfies the standards set forth in this Section.
(f) All child welfare agencies serving relative and certified relative caregiver homes shall be required by the Department to have complaint policies and procedures that shall be provided in writing to prospective and current certified relative caregivers and residents of prospective and current certified relative caregiver homes, at the earliest time possible.
The complaint procedure shall allow residents of prospective and current certified relative caregiver homes to submit complaints 7 days a week and complaints shall be reviewed by the Department within 30 days of receipt.
These complaint procedures must be filed with the Department within 6 months after the effective date of this amendatory of the 103rd General Assembly.
No later than July 1, 2025, the Department shall revise any rules and procedures pertaining to eligibility of certified relative caregivers to qualify for State and federal subsidies and services under the guardianship and adoption assistance program and remove any requirements that exceed the federal requirements for participation in these programs or supports to ensure that certified relative caregiver homes are deemed eligible for permanency options, such as adoption or subsidized guardianship, if the child is unable to safely HB0871 Enrolled - 84 - LRB104 04769 SPS 14796 b return to the child's parents.
The rules shall outline the essential elements of each form used in the implementation and enforcement of the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly.
The Department shall submit any necessary State plan amendments necessary to comply with this Section and to ensure Title IV-E reimbursement eligibility under Section 671(a)(20)(A-B) of the Social Security Act can be achieved expediently.
The Department shall differentiate expenditures related to certified relative caregivers from licensed care placements to provide clarity in expenditures of State and federal monies for certified relative caregiver supports.
