(FLOWERS-WINTERS-ERWIN-SCOTT-DART)

   20 ILCS 505/7             from Ch. 23, par. 5007                            
   20 ILCS 505/7.7                                                             
   750 ILCS 50/15.1          from Ch. 40, par. 1519.1                          

        Amends the Children and Family Services  Act.  Provides  that  in      
   placing a child under the Act, DCFS shall consider the desirability of      
   permanent placement for the child, and there is a presumption that the      
   child's  best  interests  are  for  permanent  placement  rather  than      
   temporary  placements. In the Section on limiting multiple placements,      
   provides that in determining a child's best interests, DCFS shall give      
   due, not sole, consideration to the child's race or ethnic heritage in      
   making a family  foster  care  placement.  Amends  the  Adoption  Act;      
   provides  that  in  determining a child's best interest, the court and      
   the child's guardian with the power to consent to adoption  shall  not      
   give  the child's race or ethnic heritage priority over other relevant      
   factors. Effective immediately.                                             
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides that DCFS shall not deny or delay placement of  a  child      
   on    the  basis  of  the  race or ethnic heritage of the child or the      
   prospective foster parent or parents.                                       
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          20 ILCS 505/5                   from Ch. 23, par. 5005               
          20 ILCS 505/7.5 new                                                  
        Further amends the Children and Family  Services  Act.   Provides      
   that  DCFS  shall  (now may) make every effort to place a child with a      
   relative who the Department has reason to  believe  will  be  able  to      
   adequately  provide for the child's safety and welfare consistent with      
   the Department's licensing standards (now if the Department has reason      
   to believe that the relative will be able to  adequately  provide  for      
   the child's safety and welfare).  Provides that the burden shall be on      
   the  Department  to justify the child's placement elsewhere.  Requires      
   licensed child welfare agencies to develop plans for the  creation  of      
   adequate  pools of foster and adoptive families and plans for training      
   those families.  Requires  State  reimbursement  of  adoption  service      
   providers  at  various  rates  based upon type of placement.  Requires      
   DCFS to establish an Illinois Adoption Information Exchange.  Requires      
   DCFS to establish an automated Child Foster Care and Adoption  Network      
   by   January   1,   1998  that  lists  available  foster  home  living      
   arrangements and adoptive parents.  Contains other provisions.              
        GOVERNORS AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE                                      
        Recommends that in placing a child under the Children and Family       
   Services Act, DCFS may (rather than "shall make every effort to")           
   place a child with a relative.
