Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 7.1. Requirements for child care facilities.

Each day care center, day
care home, preschool, nursery school, kindergarten, or other child care
facility, licensed or approved by the State, including such programs
operated by a public school district, shall include a requirement that each
parent or legal guardian of a child between one and 7 
years of age provide a statement from a physician or health care provider that the
child has been assessed for risk of lead poisoning or tested or both, as provided in Section 6.2.  This statement shall be
provided prior to admission and subsequently in conjunction with required
physical examinations.

Child care facilities that participate in the Illinois Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) shall annually send or deliver to the parents or guardians of children enrolled in the facility's care an informational pamphlet regarding awareness of lead poisoning.  Pamphlets shall be produced and made available by the Department and shall be downloadable from the Department's Internet website.  The Department of Human Services and the Department of Public Health shall assist in the distribution of the pamphlet.
