HB3619

Illinois HB3619 aims to protect children from family violence by prohibiting courts from ordering certain family reunification treatments.

HB3619, known as the Keeping Children Safe Act, prohibits Illinois courts from ordering family reunification treatments, programs, or services that require or result in specific conditions, such as no contact orders, overnight stays, or transfers of custody. The bill also mandates training for court personnel involved in domestic violence or child custody matters, including judges, attorneys, and mediators. This training must cover topics like child sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, coercive control, and implicit and explicit bias.
