AI Summary
This bill amends sections 5a and 10 of the Child Care Organizations Act of 1973 to replace the term "children's ombudsman" with "child advocate." The changes require child placing agencies to provide records requested by the child advocate and grant the child advocate access to records regarding children and their families. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of child care organization licensees to cooperate with investigations, inspections, and examinations by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The provisions of this bill will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 432 is also enacted into law.
