Summary
Creates the Foster Youth Successful Transition to Adulthood Act. Establish a program of transitional discharge from foster care for teenage foster children, enabling former foster youths under the age of 21 who encounter significant hardship upon emancipation to reengage with the Department of Children and Family Services and the Juvenile Court, in order to secure essential supports and services available to foster youth seeking to learn to live independently as adults. Amends the Children and Family Services Act. Provides that an abused, neglected, or dependent minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship may be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department of Children and Family Services. Provides that the Department of Children and Family Services shall provide or authorize child welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, to any minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed, provided that the minor consents to such services and has not yet attained the age of 21. Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that an abused, neglected, or dependent minor between the ages of 18 and 21 may be placed with the Department of Children and Family Services if (1) the court has granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship of the minor, or (2) the Court has adjudicated the minor a ward of the court, permitted the minor to return home under an order of protection, and subsequently made a finding that it is in the minor's best interest to vacate the order of protection and commit the minor to the Department of Children and Family Services for care and service.
