description: "Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Expands the definition of \"abused child\" to include a child abused by a professional working with the child in his or her professional capacity who inflicts corporal punishment. Expands the definition of \"neglected child\" to include a child who is subjected to an environment which is injurious insofar as (i) the child's environment creates a likelihood of harm to the child's health, physical well-being, or welfare and (ii) the likely harm to the child is the result of the conduct of a professional who, while working in his or her professional capacity with the child, neglects his or her professional responsibilities or engages in conduct that is contrary to his or her professional responsibilities. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to adopt rules, by January 1, 2016, that address and set forth criteria and standards relevant to (1) investigations of reports of abuse or neglect committed by professionals working with children or adult residents in their professional capacity; and (2) investigations of allegations of harm to children or adult residents who are in child care facilities licensed by the Department under the Child Care Act of 1969, transitional living programs, or unlicensed foster homes. Provides that the Department is authorized and required to release information from unfounded reports as necessary in its determination to protect children and adult residents who are in child care facilities licensed by the Department under the Child Care Act of 1969."
