Provides that additional follow-up visits and well-being checks shall be scheduled and conducted until the youth is no longer under the custody or guardianship of the Department.

20 ILCS 505/5.27

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Children and Family Services Act.

Changes the deadline date for the Task Force's final report to December 31, 2025 (rather than December 31, 2024). Effective immediately.
