Illinois HB5177, known as the Aligning Recommendations with Children's Actual Clinical and Emergency Needs and Determinations (ARC-ACEND) Act, establishes that for children with serious medical conditions, it is contrary to their medical best interests to be separated from a safe parent primarily responsible for their care. This presumption can only be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence supported by qualified medical testimony.
