Short description: 
CHILD DEATH REVIEW-EXEC COUNCL                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Child Death Review Team  Act.   Creates  the  Illinois      
   Death  Review  Teams  Executive  Council  to  coordinate  and  oversee      
   Illinois'  child  death  review  teams.  Lists duties of the Executive      
   Council.  Provides that the Director of Children and  Family  Services      
   shall  consult  with the Executive Council when appointing child death      
   review  teams.   Requires  the  State  to  indemnify  members  of  the      
   Executive Council. Provides that when a child death review  team  does      
   not  operate in accordance with established protocol, the Director, in      
   consultation with the  Executive  Council,  must  take  any  necessary      
   actions  to  bring  the team into compliance with the protocol. Amends      
   the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to exempt the      
   Illinois  Child  Death  Review  Teams  Executive  Council   from   the      
   provisions   of   those   Acts.    Makes   other  changes.   Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Children and Family Services)             
          The Death Review Team currently exists, and the creation of an       
          Executive Council would not create any additional costs. There       
          will be no fiscal impact.                                            
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the Inspector General of the Department of Children      
   and Family Services, ex officio, is a non-voting member of the Execu-       
   tive Council.
