| Bill | MULTI-JURISDICTION ADOPTIONS | Amends the Adoption Act. Defines "habitual residence" and deletes the definitions of "foreign placing agency" and "Intercountry Adoption Coordinator". Replaces language concerning the placement of children under the Act with provisions concerning: the placement of out-of-state children into Illinois; private placing agencies; and intercountry adoptions. Provides that if an office of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children of any state is presented with a complete interstate referral packet regarding Illinois residents or a child born or residing in Illinois, a court of competent jurisdiction is authorized to approve the placement if all applicable laws have been substantially complied with in the placement referral and the office: (i) refuses to process the interstate referral; (ii) fails to make a decision on the interstate referral within 3 business days of the receipt of the complete referral packet; or (iii) denies approval of the interstate referral for reasons contrary to the child's best interest. Provides that in the case of a child born outside the United States one of its territories, a post-placement investigation shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of, among other Acts, the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 (instead of "regulations of the foreign placing agency and the supervising agency"). | us/states/il | Illinois General Assembly | 98th | HB 2809 | Illinois HB 2809 (98th) |
