Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that where the Department of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a parent-child visiting plan, within 5 days, excluding weekends and holidays, after the appointment. Provides that the parent-child visiting plan shall set out the time and place of visits, the frequency of visits, the length of visits, who shall be present at the visits, and where appropriate, the minor's opportunities to have telephone and mail communication with the parents. Provides that for good cause, the court may waive the requirement to file the parent-child visiting plan or extend the time for filing the parent-child visiting plan.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Inserts provisions substantially similar to those of HB 2543, except provides that where the Department of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a parent-child visiting plan, within 10 (instead of 5) days, excluding weekends and holidays, after the appointment. Provides that the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties any amendment to the visitation plan within 10 days of the change of visitation (instead of where the restriction or termination on parent-child contact is inconsistent with the parent-child visiting plan filed with the court, the Department shall file with the court and serve on the parties an amended plan within 5 days after restricting or terminating parent-child contact). Deletes language providing that where the minor's permanency goal is to return home, each case plan filed pursuant to the Act shall include an updated parent-child visiting plan. Deletes language providing that at all stages of the proceeding, the parent-child visiting plan shall be reviewable by the court.
