Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 3032

Amends the Child Death Review Team Act. Transfers the administration of child death review teams from the Department of Children and Family Services to the Department of Public Health. Provides that the Director of Public Health (rather than the Director of Children and Family Services), in consultation with the Illinois Child Death Review Teams Executive Council and specified persons who work in the field of investigating, treating, or preventing child deaths (rather than abuse or neglect in that subregion), shall appoint members to a child death review team in each of the Department of Children and Family Services' administrative regions (rather than subregions) of the State outside Cook County and at least one child death review team in Cook County. Provides that the staff of each child death review team must have complete access to the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) and any other Child Abuse Reporting systems; and that the Department of Public Health must provide one full-time statewide liaison to attend in person at all Executive Council meetings and team meetings throughout the State. Changes provisions concerning child death reviews; a child death review team's access to records and information held by the Department of Public Health and the Department of Children and Family Services; annual reports by the Illinois Child Death Review Teams Executive Council; and the establishment of a special Child Death Investigation Task Force.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Children and Family Services Act. Permits the Department of Children and Family Services to establish in the Southern Region of the State, as designated by the Department of Children and Family Services, a special Child Death Investigation Task Force to develop and implement a plan for: (i) the investigation of sudden, unexpected, or unexplained deaths of children under 18 years of age occurring within that region and (ii) the investigation of missing and runaway children and children who are victims of sex trafficking. Requires the plan to include a protocol to be followed and to include provisions for local or State law enforcement agencies, hospitals, or coroners to promptly notify the Task Force of a death or serious life-threatening injury to a child, and for the Task Force to review the death and submit a report containing findings and recommendations to certain persons and administrative bodies including the State Representative and State Senator in whose legislative districts the case arose. Requires the Task Force to submit a report on July 1 of each year to the Director of Children and Family Services, the General Assembly, and the Governor summarizing the results of the program together with any recommendations for statewide implementation of a protocol for the investigation of all sudden, unexpected, or unexplained child deaths and for the investigation of all cases involving missing and runaway children and children who are victims of sex trafficking. Amends the Child Death Review Team Act. Creates the Child Death Review Team Transfer Task Force within the Department of Children and Family Services to develop an implementation plan to effectuate the transfer of the administration of all child death review teams from the Department of Children and Family Services to the Department of Public Health. Provides that the implementation plan shall provide for the complete transfer of all child death review teams to the Department of Public Health by July 1, 2018. Contains provisions concerning the composition of the Task Force and the date upon which the Task Force is abolished. Repeals a provision permitting the Child Death Review Teams Executive Council to establish an 18-month pilot program in the Southern Region of the State, as designated by the Department of Children and Family Services, under which a special Child Death Investigation Task Force will be created to develop and implement a plan for the investigation of sudden, unexpected, or unexplained deaths of children under 18 years of age occurring within that region.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions similar to those of Senate Amendment No. 1, but with the following changes to the Children and Family Services Act: Requires the Child Death Investigation Task Force to develop and implement a plan for the investigation of sudden, unexpected, or unexplained child fatalities or near fatalities for children under 18 years of age (rather than a plan for the investigation of (i) sudden, unexpected, or unexplained deaths of children under 18 years of the age and (ii) missing and runaway children and children who are victims of sex trafficking). Requires the plan to include provisions that require specified entities to promptly notify the Task Force of a sudden, unexpected, or unexplained child fatality or near fatality of a child (rather than a death or serious life threatening injury to a child). Requires the Task Force to recommend statewide implementation of a protocol for the investigation of all sudden, unexpected, or unexplained child fatalities or near fatalities (rather than all sudden, unexpected, or unexplained child deaths and all cases involving missing and runaway children and children who are victims of sex trafficking).
