Adoption
(Sommer, R-Morton; LaHood, R-Peoria) eliminates service of process on a minor defendant who is less than 14 years of age for whom a guardian ad litem has been or will be appointed under the Adoption Act. But House Bill 5062 doesn’t override any provision of the Adoption Act that relates to “identifying information” to which an adopted person is entitled under the Adoption Act’s registry. Drop date August 18, 2012; effective January 1, 2013 if the Governor signs it.
