Summary

The bill creates the Supervised Parenting Safety and Fairness Act, mandating that Illinois courts confirm qualified supervisors are reasonably available before ordering supervised parenting time and document that inquiry. If supervision is needed, a court cannot allow unsupervised time simply because a supervisor cannot be found; instead it must keep the restriction and use alternatives like virtual contact or therapeutic supervision. The law also sets a rebuttable presumption for supervised time when abuse is proven or an order of protection is upheld.
