Bill Title: Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Provides that within 60 days after the notification of the completion of the Child Protective Service Unit investigation, determined by the date of the notification sent by the Department of Children and Family Services, the perpetrator named in the notification (rather than a subject of a report) may request the Department to amend the record or remove the record of the report from the register, except that the 60 day deadline for filing a request to amend the record or remove the record of the report from the record shall be tolled by the pendency of any criminal court or juvenile court action concerning the circumstances that gave rise to an indicated report. Provides that the perpetrator shall have the right to a timely hearing (rather than if the Department disregards any request to do so or does not act within 10 days, the subject shall have a right to a hearing) to determine whether the record of the report should be amended or removed on the grounds that it is inaccurate or it is being maintained in a manner inconsistent with this Act, except that there shall be no such right to a hearing on the ground of the report's inaccuracy if there has been a court finding of child abuse or neglect or a criminal finding of guilt as to the perpetrator (rather than if there has been a court finding of child abuse or neglect, the report's accuracy being conclusively presumed on such finding). Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
