Provides that the Department of Children and Family Services may not place a child described in this provision in its custody or foster care on the basis that the child is transported to another state under circumstances described in this provision. Defines "caretaker" as a person who has the consent of the custodial parent to care for the custodial parent's child and includes, but is not limited to, a family member, baby sitter, au pair, nanny, or person applying for guardianship or adoption of the child.
