Illinois HB4966, known as the SECURE Act, amends the Children and Family Services Act, the Child Care Act of 1969, and the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. It mandates that the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) develop case plans for minors in its care, ensuring they are placed in the least restrictive setting possible. The bill requires DCFS to conduct individualized assessments for minors aged 8 or older before placing them out-of-state, considering their health, safety, and best interests.
