HB 4538

Abstract

Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 concerning abused, neglected, and dependent minors. Provides that if the Department of Children and Family Services removes a child from his or her home and determines that a parent or sibling's visitation or contact with the child after removal would present an immediate threat of physical or emotional harm to the child, it shall, within 5 days, petition the court for an order of protection prohibiting that parent or sibling's contact and visitation with the child until the Department determines that the threat no longer exists.
