SB3947 amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act to expedite appeals for amending or removing child abuse reports.

SB3947 amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act to expedite the process for appeals related to child abuse reports. It mandates that the Director of the Department of Children and Family Services must issue a final decision on any expedited appeal within 60 days of receiving a timely request, unless extended by the appellant. The Director must also handle the Administrative Law Judge's recommendation within the same timeframe. The bill ensures that the Director's decision is the final administrative decision, subject to judicial review.
