Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(325 ILCS 20/10) (from Ch. 23, par. 4160)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2026)
Sec. 10. Standards. The Council and the lead agency, with assistance
from parents and providers, shall develop and promulgate policies and
procedures relating to the establishment and implementation of program and
personnel standards to ensure that services provided are consistent with
any State-approved or recognized certification, licensing, registration, or
other comparable requirements which apply to the area of early intervention
program service standards. Only State-approved public or private early
intervention service providers shall be eligible to receive State and
federal funding for early intervention services. All early childhood
intervention staff shall hold the highest entry requirement necessary for that
position.
To be a State-approved early intervention service provider, an individual
(i) shall
not have served or completed, within the preceding 5 years, a sentence for
conviction of any felony that the Department establishes by rule and (ii) shall
not have been indicated as a perpetrator of child abuse or neglect, within the
preceding 5 years, in an investigation by Illinois (pursuant to the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act) or another state. The Department is authorized
to receive criminal background checks for such providers and persons applying
to be such a provider and to receive child abuse and neglect reports regarding
indicated perpetrators who are applying to provide or currently authorized to
provide early intervention services in Illinois. Beginning January 1, 2004,
every provider of State-approved early intervention services and every
applicant to provide
such services must authorize, in writing and in the form required by the
Department, a State and FBI criminal background check, as requested by the Department, and check of child abuse and neglect
reports regarding the provider or applicant as a condition of authorization to
provide early intervention services. The Department shall use the results of
the checks only to determine State approval of the early intervention service
provider and shall not re-release the information except as necessary to
accomplish that purpose.
