| Bill | DCFS-CHILD CARE-DRIVER LICENSE | Amends the Children and Family Services Act and the Child Care Act of 1969. In provisions concerning licensure of direct child welfare service employees by DCFS: provides that if a direct child welfare service employee licensee is expected to transport a child or children with a motor vehicle in the course of performing his or her duties, DCFS must verify that the licensee holds a valid driver's license and meets certain other requirements; requires such verification every 2 years; and provides that transporting a child or children with a motor vehicle without having a valid driver's license is grounds for revoking an individual's direct child welfare service employee license. In provisions concerning transportation of children on a regular basis by a day care center, group home, or child care institution: provides that DCFS must verify that individuals who provide such transportation meet driver's license and other statutory requirements; provides that a day care center, group home, or child care institution that fails to meet the statutory requirements is guilty of a petty offense and subject to a fine of $1,000; and provides that each day of such a violation is a separate offense. | us/states/il | Illinois General Assembly | 94th | HB 4135 | Illinois HB 4135 (94th) |
