Summary
Provides that the amendatory Act may be referred to as the Kinship in Demand (KIND) Act. Provides that the KIND Act creates the statutory vision and authority for the Department of Children and Family Services to execute a kin-first approach to service delivery and directs the juvenile courts to provide necessary oversight of the Department's obligations to maintain family connections and promote equitable opportunities for youth and families to thrive with relational permanence. Amends the Children and Family Services Act. Contains provisions concerning Department rules on relative and licensed foster care; grants to subsidized guardians of hard-to-place children; a requirement on the Department to make diligent efforts to place a child with a relative; documentation of the Department's reasons for failing to secure a relative placement; foster care maintenance payments for relatives who qualify for certification as a relative caregiver home under the Child Care Act of 1969; subsidized guardianship support services for children and their guardians; certification and background checks on persons seeking relative caregiver approval; annual reports regarding relative and certified relative caregiver placements; performance audits; and other matters. Amends the Child Care Act of 1969. Requires the Department to adopt standards for certified relative caregiver family homes that are different from licensing standards used for non-relative foster family homes. Contains provisions concerning background screenings of prospective relative caregiver homes; a requirement that the Department assist prospective certified relative caregivers with completing the steps required for approval as a certified relative caregiver home; orientation activities for certified relative caregivers; and other matters. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Makes changes to provisions concerning "best interest" determinations; court assessments on the Department's effort to place a minor with a relative; inquiries by a court on the Department's family finding and relative engagement efforts; required notification to a minor's located relatives that the minor has been removed from the custody of the minor's parents; and other matters. Some provisions take effect immediately, some provisions take effect January 1, 2025 and some provisions take effect July 1, 2025.
