| 1 |
| AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Child Care Act of 1969 is amended by |
| 5 |
| changing Section 12 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (225 ILCS 10/12) (from Ch. 23, par. 2222)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 12. Advertising.
|
| 8 |
| A child care facility licensed or operating under a permit |
| 9 |
| issued by the
Department may publish advertisements of the |
| 10 |
| services for which it is
specifically licensed or issued a |
| 11 |
| permit under this Act. No person, unless
licensed or holding a |
| 12 |
| permit as a child care facility, may cause to be
published any |
| 13 |
| advertisement soliciting a child or children for care or
|
| 14 |
| placement or offering a child or children for care or |
| 15 |
| placement.
|
| 16 |
| Only child care facilities or child welfare agencies |
| 17 |
| licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Department |
| 18 |
| may publish advertisements for the services that the facility |
| 19 |
| or agency is specifically licensed for or issued a permit under |
| 20 |
| this Act to provide. A licensed child welfare agency that |
| 21 |
| places children for the purposes of adoption may not include in |
| 22 |
| any published advertisement for the agency language that offers |
| 23 |
| free medical care, housing, clothing, or transportation or any |
| 24 |
| other offer of services, unless the advertisement also |
| 25 |
| indicates that these services are provided with no obligation |
| 26 |
| on the part of the birth parent to make an adoption plan. |
| 27 |
| Nothing in the advertisement shall include any information that |
| 28 |
| the Department may reasonably construe to be an inducement or |
| 29 |
| offer for compensation in return for making a child available |
| 30 |
| for placement with a child welfare agency. This paragraph shall |
| 31 |
| not prohibit a child welfare agency from advertising counseling |
| 32 |
| and casework services.
