Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

<Text of section added effective July 1, 2025.>

§ 46. Annual reports regarding relative and certified relative caregiver placements. Beginning January 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, the Department shall post on its website data from the preceding State fiscal year regarding:

(1) the number of youth in care who were adopted specifying the length of stay in out-of-home care and the number of youth in care who exited to permanency through guardianship specifying the length of stay in out-of-home care and whether the guardianship was subsidized or unsubsidized for each case;

(2) the number of youth with the permanency goal of guardianship and the number of youth with the permanency goal of adoption;

(3) the number of youth in care who moved from non-relative care to a relative placement;

(4) the number of homes that successfully became a certified relative caregiver home in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Child Care Act of 1969; and

(5) the number of reconsideration reviews of the Department's decisions not to place a child with a relative commenced in accordance with subsection (o) of Section 5 of this Act. For data related to each reconsideration review, the Department shall indicate whether the child resides in a licensed placement or in the home of a relative at the time of the reconsideration review, the reason for the Department's denial of the placement with the relative, and the outcome associated with each reconsideration review.

The Department shall include a description of the methodology the Department used to collect the information for paragraphs (1) through (5), indicate whether the Department had any difficulties collecting the information, and indicate whether there are concerns about the validity of the information. If any of the data elements required to be disclosed under this Section could reveal a youth's identity if revealed in combination with all the identifying information due to small sample size, the Department shall exclude the data elements that could be used to identify the youth so that the data can be included as part of a larger sample and report that the data was excluded for this reason.
