Bill Title: Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that if the minor is in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice, the case plan shall include: (1) information as to the minor's physical, mental, and emotional health condition; (2) summary of the physical and mental health services provided to the minor; (3) unmet physical and mental health and education needs which have been identified by the Department; (4) information as to the Department's efforts to secure post-release placement of the minor after release from the Department; (5) identification of the minor's grade level and educational history, including a determination if the minor has in the past, or is currently receiving special education services; (6) identification of educational goals, educational needs, and identifiable educational problems; and (7) determination as to the need for a case study evaluation. Provides that upon receipt, the court shall review the report and determine whether a hearing would serve the minor's best interests. Provides that when the court has set a hearing on the case plan, the clerk shall mail notice of the hearing to the Director of Juvenile Justice and where the court record includes their last known addresses, to the minor's parents and guardian. Provides that if after receiving evidence, the court determines that the services contained in the plan are not reasonably calculated to prepare the minor for a successful reentry into the community, the court shall put in writing the factual basis supporting the determination and enter specific findings based on the evidence. Provides that the court also shall enter an order for the Department to develop and implement a new service plan or to implement changes to the current service plan consistent with the court's findings. Provides that the new service plan shall be filed with the court and served on all parties within 45 days of the date of the order. Provides that the court shall continue the matter until the new service plan is filed. Provides that unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, the court may not order specific placements, specific services, or specific service providers to be included in the plan.
