Bill	PROBATE-GUARDIAN-PARENT RIGHTS	Amends the Probate Act of 1975. In provisions setting forth circumstances under which the court lacks jurisdiction to proceed on a petition for the appointment of a guardian of a minor, adds language permitting a petition if the parent or parents voluntarily relinquished physical custody of the minor, revises language permitting a petition if the parent or parents consent to the appointment, and makes other changes. Provides that upon the filing of a petition by a minor's living, adoptive, or adjudicated parent whose parental rights have not been terminated, the court shall discharge the guardian and terminate the guardianship if the parent establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a material change in the circumstances of the minor or the parent has occurred since the guardian's appointment unless the guardian establishes, by clear and convincing evidence, that termination of the guardianship would not be in the best interests of the minor. Sets forth factors to be considered by the court in determining the minor's best interests. Repeals provisions concerning the parental right to custody.	us/states/il	Illinois General Assembly	96th	SB 3386	Illinois SB 3386 (96th)	bill		enacted		3	35	3	2010-02-10	2010-07-27	openstates	ocd-bill/af288bb5-c086-47cc-b89f-3f5fdc27128e	http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=3386&GAID=10&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=51245&SessionID=76&GA=96	ce7993e933602553bc7bdace25309f38270e86c0708527a90ce557510da1d7e3	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-il
