Sent to the Governor
Summary
The bill amends the Children and Family Services Act to mandate that the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) develop individualized transition plans for youth 15 and older who are aging out of care. It also requires DCFS to set up rules for youth or their representatives to request accounting of any funds held for them, provide age‑appropriate financial literacy, and ensure clear communication about services and documents. The changes involve the Statewide Youth Advisory Board to help shape programs and to guarantee youth participation in transition hearings.
