JUV CT-STIP FACT&WAIVE CUSTODY

Summary

The bill changes the Juvenile Court Act so that any written agreement a parent makes about facts in an abuse or neglect case must list each fact as a separate numbered line, be initialed by the parent, and include a signed statement that the parent understands and agrees voluntarily. It also sets similar rules for waiving a temporary custody or shelter‑care hearing, adding a verbal confirmation step. The goal is to make sure parents are fully aware of what they are agreeing to and that the court has clear proof of consent.
