Which Illinois law allows a mature minor to obtain legal status as an emancipated person?

Emancipation of Mature Minors Act
Foster Parent Law
Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act
Illinois Domestic Violence Act

The correct answer is: Emancipation of Mature Minors Act

The correct answer is A. The Emancipation of Mature Minors Act in Illinois allows minors who are at least 16 years old and who can prove that they are financially self-sufficient to petition the court for legal status as emancipated persons. This law grants them certain rights and responsibilities typically reserved for adults. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically address the process of emancipating a mature minor in Illinois. The Foster Parent Law pertains to regulations and rights related to foster care, the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act focuses on the safe relinquishment of newborn infants, and the Illinois Domestic Violence Act deals with issues related to domestic violence and protective orders.
