| 7 | | Sec. 5-745. Court review.
|
| 8 | | (1) The court may require any legal custodian or guardian |
| 9 | | of the person
appointed under this Act, including the |
| 10 | | Department of Juvenile Justice for youth committed under |
| 11 | | Section 5-750 of this Act, to report periodically to the court |
| 12 | | or may cite him
or her into court and require him or her, or his |
| 13 | | or her agency, to make a full
and accurate report of
his or her |
| 14 | | or its doings in behalf of the minor, including efforts to |
| 15 | | secure post-release placement of the youth after release from |
| 16 | | the Department's facilities. The legal custodian or
guardian,
|
| 17 | | within 10 days after the citation, shall make the report, |
| 18 | | either in writing
verified by affidavit or orally under oath in |

|
| 22 | | minor to
the custody of his or her parents or former guardian |
| 23 | | or legal custodian.

review, or review |

| 16 | | If the minor is in the custody of the Illinois Department |
| 17 | | of Children and Family Services, pursuant to an order entered |
| 18 | | under this Article, the court shall conduct permanency hearings |

| 20 | | Article II of this Act. |

| 23 | | filed in any proceedings
brought under this Act.
|
| 24 | | (3) The minor or any person interested in the minor may |
| 25 | | apply to the court
for a change in custody of the minor and the |
