from Ch. 23, par. 2215.1

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Children and Family Services Act and the Child Care Act of 1969. In provisions concerning licensure of direct child welfare service employees by DCFS: provides that if a direct child welfare service employee licensee is expected to transport a child or children with a motor vehicle in the course of performing his or her duties, DCFS must verify that the licensee holds a valid driver's license and meets certain other requirements; requires such verification every 2 years; and provides that transporting a child or children with a motor vehicle without having a valid driver's license is grounds for revoking an individual's direct child welfare service employee license. In provisions concerning transportation of children on a regular basis by a day care center, group home, or child care institution: provides that DCFS must verify that individuals who provide such transportation meet driver's license and other statutory requirements; provides that a day care center, group home, or child care institution that fails to meet the statutory requirements is guilty of a petty offense and subject to a fine of $1,000; and provides that each day of such a violation is a separate offense.

	Fiscal Note (Dept of Children and Family Services)
	It is anticipated that a fiscal impact of approximately $110,000 per year will result from the legislation.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause and reinserts provisions substantially similar to those of the engrossed bill, amending the Children and Family Services Act and the Child Care Act of 1969, but with changes that include the following: (1) makes the driver requirement verification provisions applicable only to employees at group homes and child care institutions (omits employees at day care centers); (2) provides that for every individual employed at a group home or child care institution who regularly transports children in the course of performing his or her duties, the Department of Children and Family Services must verify that the individual meets the specified requirements every 2 years; (3) requires the Secretary of State to provide the Department with the information necessary to enable the Department to make those verifications; and (4) makes the amendatory provisions concerning driver requirement verifications and penalties applicable only to group homes and child care institutions (deleting references to day care centers).
