Justice LYTTON delivered the opinion of the court:

Public Act 89-21 amended the Juvenile Court Act, limiting the ability of courts to name the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) custodian for certain minors. Finding that these changes did not apply, the trial courts in these consolidated cases awarded DCFS temporary custody of two minors who had been adjudicated abused, neglected or dependent. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
