Provides that every Department of Children and Family Services caseworker shall annually request from a credit reporting agency a credit report on each child who is in foster care and assigned to the caseworker as a client. Provides that if a credit report indicates unauthorized credit-related activity in a child's name, the caseworker shall notify the credit reporting agency and request that the agency correct the child's credit record to expunge all references to the unauthorized credit-related activity or take other action that will expressly and clearly indicate that the activity was unauthorized. Provides that a caseworker shall also report such unauthorized credit-related activity to the State's Attorney. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to develop standard forms for use by caseworkers in connection with these provisions.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
