Sec. 5. Legislative findings and purpose. The General Assembly finds and declares that: (1) State courts have a traditional and vital role in making determinations regarding the protection, custody, and care of children within the State; and (2) it is therefore necessary to clarify the jurisdiction of Illinois courts to issue such determinations when the child is in the custody of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.
