Bill Title: Amends the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act. In a provision concerning hospital procedures with respect to a relinquished infant, provides that if a person who relinquished or a person claiming to be the parent of a newborn infant returns to reclaim the infant within 30 days after the infant was relinquished to a hospital, the hospital must inform such person of the name and contact information of the child welfare agency to whom custody of the infant was transferred. In a provision concerning child welfare agency procedures, requires the Department of Children and Family Services and child welfare agencies to initiate parental termination, guardianship, and adoption proceedings in accordance with the Adoption Act (rather than the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act).
