伊利诺伊州众议院一致通过法案,优先将寄养儿童安置在亲戚身边,以减少创伤。 Illinois House unanimously passes bill to prioritize placing foster children with relatives, aiming to reduce trauma.

伊利诺伊州议会一致通过了《KIND法》,旨在将寄养儿童安置在亲戚而不是非亲属身边,从而有可能改善儿童的福利和减少创伤。 The Illinois House unanimously passed the KIND Act, aiming to place foster children with relatives instead of non-relatives, potentially improving children's wellbeing and reducing trauma. 该法案现在由JB Pritzker总督领导,可以建立一个亲属导航程序,到2026年使寄养申请程序电子化。 The bill, which now heads to Governor JB Pritzker, could establish a kinship navigator program and make the foster application process electronic by 2026. 它还允许亲属对家庭调查委员会提出申诉,后者必须在30天内作出答复。 It also allows relatives to file complaints against the DCFS, which must respond within 30 days.
