7 (20 ILCS 505/35.3)
8 Sec. 35.3 Confidentiality of foster parent identifying
9 information.
10 (a) Because foster parents accept placements into their
11 residences, it is the policy of the State of Illinois to
12 protect foster parents' addresses and telephone numbers from
13 disclosure. The Department shall adopt rules to effectuate
14 this policy and provide sufficient prior notice of any
15 authorized disclosure for foster parents to seek an order of
16 protection under Section 2-25 of the Juvenile Court Act of
17 1987.
18 (b) A person to whom disclosure of a foster parent's
19 name, address, or telephone number is made under this Section
20 shall not redisclose that information except as provided in
21 this Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Any person who
22 knowingly and willfully rediscloses a foster parent's name,
23 address, or telephone number in violation of this Section is
24 guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
25 (c) The Department shall provide written notice of the
26 provisions of subsection (b), including the penalty for a
27 Class A misdemeanor, to anyone to whom the Department
28 discloses a foster parent's name, address, or telephone
29 number.
