Bill Summary
Creates the Child Welfare Agency Liability Task Force to develop and recommend a permanent solution to address the unavailability of liability insurance for child welfare agencies in the State.
AI Summary
This resolution establishes the Child Welfare Agency Liability Task Force to address the critical issue of liability insurance unavailability for child welfare agencies in Illinois. The task force will consist of nine unpaid members, including representatives from the Department of Insurance (who will chair the group), state legislative leaders, the Department of Children and Family Services, and appointees from the insurance industry, legal advocacy organizations, and child welfare service groups. The task force is required to hold its first meeting within 30 days of full appointment and then meet monthly, with a mandate to develop and recommend a permanent solution to the liability insurance challenges facing foster care providers. These challenges stem from major insurance carriers announcing they will not write new policies in 2025 and potentially renewing existing policies with significantly increased premiums and reduced coverage, which could force foster care agencies to scale back or discontinue services and potentially disrupt the care of over 13,000 children. The task force must submit a final report to the General Assembly by December 31, 2026, after which it will be dissolved, and administrative support will be provided by the Department of Insurance and the Department of Children and Family Services.
