DCFS-MISSING CHILDREN-REPORTS

What this bill does

Amends the Children and Family Services Act. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to submit, beginning June 1, 2027, annual reports to the General Assembly on the total number of youth in care who were classified by the Department as missing during the previous calendar year and, from that reported number, the total number of missing youth who were later located or recovered. Requires the annual reports to include for each youth who was classified as missing: information on the youth's age and gender, the type of placement the youth was placed in before the youth was classified as missing, the total length of time the youth has been under the Department's custody or guardianship, the date upon which the youth was first classified as missing, the circumstances leading up to the Department classifying the youth as missing, actions the Department has taken to locate or recover the youth, and, if applicable, the date on which the Department located or recovered the youth. Requires the Department to follow all State and federal privacy laws and regulations when collecting, sharing, storing, or reporting the data and information on missing youth in care.

How does a bill become law in Illinois?
  1. Introduction of Bill

    A member of the Senate or the House introduces a bill, which is assigned a unique identifying number (e.g., "H.B. ___" for House bills and "S.B. ___" for Senate bills). If not enacted, it must be reintroduced in the next General Assembly with a new number.

  2. Committee Work — Hearings

    The bill goes to the appropriate committee, which holds hearings to gather expert opinions and determine the need for the legislation.

  3. Committee Work — Markup, Amendments, Report

    The committee may make amendments to the bill. If approved, a committee report endorsing the bill is issued.

  4. Floor Debate

    The bill is debated and can be further amended. The debate transcripts are accessible online for public viewing.

  5. Passage and Consideration in Second Chamber

    If the bill passes in the first chamber, it moves to the second chamber for a similar review process. If both chambers approve, it goes to the governor.

  6. Gubernatorial Action

    The governor can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action (resulting in an automatic law after 60 days). The type of veto can be total or amendatory. Once signed, the bill becomes a Public Act and is assigned a Public Act number.
