Illinois HB1861 amends the School Code to specify the financial responsibility of resident school districts for students in long-term, acute care facilities. The bill reduces the number of documentary evidence items needed to determine a parent or guardian's unknown location from four to three. It also mandates that if a parent or guardian moves out of state after a child is placed in such a facility, they must enroll the child in a school in the other state to initiate reimbursement to Illinois.
