    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.
