705 ILCS 420/5: Legislative findings and purpose.
Where this section sits in the code
- CHAPTER 705 COURTS
- Dependency Determinations for Unaccompanied Children Act.
The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(1) State courts have a traditional and vital role in making determinations regarding the protection, custody, and care of children within the State; and
(2) it is therefore necessary to clarify the jurisdiction of Illinois courts to issue such determinations when the child is in the custody of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.
