Summary

The act creates a process for children under the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement who are in Illinois and claim abuse, neglect, or abandonment to file a petition in juvenile court for a dependency finding. If the court declares the child dependent, the child can receive court‑ordered oversight and referrals to psychological, educational, medical, or social services. The measure clarifies that Illinois courts have jurisdiction over these cases and aims to protect vulnerable children.
