Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Provides that if an allegation that a child is an abused or neglected child is made in a custody or visitation proceeding, the court may request that the Department of Children and Family Services or a local law enforcement agency conduct an investigation of the allegation. Provides that if upon completion of the investigation, the Department or the local law enforcement agency finds that the allegation is unfounded, the court shall hold a hearing to review all available evidence regarding the allegation. Provides that if the court determines that an allegation that a child is an abused or neglected child is false, the person who made the allegation knew it to be false, and intended the allegation to influence a court ruling in the custody or visitation proceeding, the court may impose monetary sanctions and hold the person who made the false allegation in civil or criminal contempt. Provides that if a person has made a second false allegation, the court may also prohibit the person from receiving custody or visitation rights with regard to the child involved in the allegation. Requires the provision of written notice of the new provisions to parties in all proceedings in which custody or visitation is in issue.
