14to forfeiture under this Act. At the forfeiture hearing the
15people shall have the burden of establishing, by a
16preponderance of the evidence, that property or property
17interests are subject to forfeiture under this Act. There is a
18rebuttable presumption at such hearing that any property or

10Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,
11injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection

13under this Act is sought, the circuit court which shall preside
14over the trial of the person or persons charged with any of the
15offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of
16this Section shall first determine whether there is probable
17cause to believe that the person or persons so charged have
18committed a violation of any of the offenses listed in clauses
19(1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section and whether
20the property or property interest is subject to forfeiture
21pursuant to this Act.
22 In order to make such a determination, prior to entering
23any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a
24jury, wherein the People shall establish that there is: (i)
25probable cause that the person or persons so charged have
26committed one of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4)

HB5331- 6 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1of subsection (a) of this Section and (ii) probable cause that
2any property or property interest may be subject to forfeiture
3pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may be conducted
4simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the prosecution
5is commenced by information or complaint, or by motion of the
6People, at any stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a
7finding of probable cause at a preliminary hearing following
8the filing of a charge for violating one of the offenses listed
9in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section or
10the return of an indictment by a grand jury charging one of the
11offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of
12this Section as sufficient evidence of probable cause as
13provided in item (i) above.
14 Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
15restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
16such other action in connection with any such property or
17property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
18necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
19jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
20disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
21prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
22Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
23certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
24prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
25of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
26located. No such injunction, restraining order or other

HB5331- 7 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide purchaser,
2mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising prior
3to the date of such filing.
4 The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
5defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
6such property or interest which the court previously determined
7to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any restraining
8order, injunction, or prohibition or other action. The court
9may release such property to the defendant for good cause shown
10and within the sound discretion of the court.
11 (d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
12Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
13 (e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
14subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
15Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
16declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
17conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
18property interest that has been the subject of an entered
19restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
20action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless the
21claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that the
22property or property interest has not been acquired or
23maintained as a result of a violation of any of the offenses
24listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this
25Section or has not been used to facilitate a violation of any
26of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection

15 (5 ILCS 315/9) (from Ch. 48, par. 1609)
16 Sec. 9. Elections; recognition.
17 (a) Whenever in accordance with such regulations as may be
18prescribed by the Board a petition has been filed:
19 (1) by a public employee or group of public employees
20 or any labor organization acting in their behalf
21 demonstrating that 30% of the public employees in an
22 appropriate unit (A) wish to be represented for the
23 purposes of collective bargaining by a labor organization
24 as exclusive representative, or (B) asserting that the
25 labor organization which has been certified or is currently

HB5331- 40 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 recognized by the public employer as bargaining
2 representative is no longer the representative of the
3 majority of public employees in the unit; or
4 (2) by a public employer alleging that one or more
5 labor organizations have presented to it a claim that they
6 be recognized as the representative of a majority of the
7 public employees in an appropriate unit,
8the Board shall investigate such petition, and if it has
9reasonable cause to believe that a question of representation
10exists, shall provide for an appropriate hearing upon due
11notice. Such hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
12or such other location as the Board deems appropriate. If it
13finds upon the record of the hearing that a question of
14representation exists, it shall direct an election in
15accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, which election
16shall be held not later than 120 days after the date the
17petition was filed regardless of whether that petition was
18filed before or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
19of 1987; provided, however, the Board may extend the time for
20holding an election by an additional 60 days if, upon motion by
21a person who has filed a petition under this Section or is the
22subject of a petition filed under this Section and is a party
23to such hearing, or upon the Board's own motion, the Board
24finds that good cause has been shown for extending the election
25date; provided further, that nothing in this Section shall
26prohibit the Board, in its discretion, from extending the time

HB5331- 41 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1for holding an election for so long as may be necessary under
2the circumstances, where the purpose for such extension is to
3permit resolution by the Board of an unfair labor practice
4charge filed by one of the parties to a representational
5proceeding against the other based upon conduct which may
6either affect the existence of a question concerning
7representation or have a tendency to interfere with a fair and
8free election, where the party filing the charge has not filed
9a request to proceed with the election; and provided further
10that prior to the expiration of the total time allotted for
11holding an election, a person who has filed a petition under
12this Section or is the subject of a petition filed under this
13Section and is a party to such hearing or the Board, may move
14for and obtain the entry of an order in the circuit court of
15the county in which the majority of the public employees sought
16to be represented by such person reside, such order extending
17the date upon which the election shall be held. Such order
18shall be issued by the circuit court only upon a judicial
19finding that there has been a sufficient showing that there is
20good cause to extend the election date beyond such period and
21shall require the Board to hold the election as soon as is
22feasible given the totality of the circumstances. Such 120 day
23period may be extended one or more times by the agreement of
24all parties to the hearing to a date certain without the
25necessity of obtaining a court order. Nothing in this Section
26prohibits the waiving of hearings by stipulation for the

HB5331- 42 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1purpose of a consent election in conformity with the rules and
2regulations of the Board or an election in a unit agreed upon
3by the parties. Other interested employee organizations may
4intervene in the proceedings in the manner and within the time
5period specified by rules and regulations of the Board.
6Interested parties who are necessary to the proceedings may
7also intervene in the proceedings in the manner and within the
8time period specified by the rules and regulations of the
9Board.
10 (a-5) The Board shall designate an exclusive
11representative for purposes of collective bargaining when the
12representative demonstrates a showing of majority interest by
13employees in the unit. If the parties to a dispute are without
14agreement on the means to ascertain the choice, if any, of
15employee organization as their representative, the Board shall
16ascertain the employees' choice of employee organization, on
17the basis of dues deduction authorization or other evidence,
18or, if necessary, by conducting an election. All evidence
19submitted by an employee organization to the Board to ascertain
20an employee's choice of an employee organization is
21confidential and shall not be submitted to the employer for
22review. The Board shall ascertain the employee's choice of
23employee organization within 120 days after the filing of the
24majority interest petition; however, the Board may extend time
25by an additional 60 days, upon its own motion or upon the
26motion of a party to the proceeding. If either party provides

HB5331- 43 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1to the Board, before the designation of a representative, clear
2and convincing evidence that the dues deduction
3authorizations, and other evidence upon which the Board would
4otherwise rely to ascertain the employees' choice of
5representative, are fraudulent or were obtained through
6coercion, the Board shall promptly thereafter conduct an
7election. The Board shall also investigate and consider a
8party's allegations that the dues deduction authorizations and
9other evidence submitted in support of a designation of
10representative without an election were subsequently changed,
11altered, withdrawn, or withheld as a result of employer fraud,
12coercion, or any other unfair labor practice by the employer.
13If the Board determines that a labor organization would have
14had a majority interest but for an employer's fraud, coercion,
15or unfair labor practice, it shall designate the labor
16organization as an exclusive representative without conducting
17an election. If a hearing is necessary to resolve any issues of
18representation under this Section, the Board shall conclude its
19hearing process and issue a certification of the entire
20appropriate unit not later than 120 days after the date the
21petition was filed. The 120-day period may be extended one or
22more times by the agreement of all parties to a hearing to a
23date certain.
24 (a-6) A labor organization or an employer may file a unit
25clarification petition seeking to clarify an existing
26bargaining unit. The Board shall conclude its investigation,

HB5331- 44 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1including any hearing process deemed necessary, and issue a
2certification of clarified unit or dismiss the petition not
3later than 120 days after the date the petition was filed. The
4120-day period may be extended one or more times by the
5agreement of all parties to a hearing to a date certain.
6 (b) The Board shall decide in each case, in order to assure
7public employees the fullest freedom in exercising the rights
8guaranteed by this Act, a unit appropriate for the purpose of
9collective bargaining, based upon but not limited to such
10factors as: historical pattern of recognition; community of
11interest including employee skills and functions; degree of
12functional integration; interchangeability and contact among
13employees; fragmentation of employee groups; common
14supervision, wages, hours and other working conditions of the
15employees involved; and the desires of the employees. For
16purposes of this subsection, fragmentation shall not be the
17sole or predominant factor used by the Board in determining an
18appropriate bargaining unit. Except with respect to non-State
19fire fighters and paramedics employed by fire departments and
20fire protection districts, non-State peace officers and peace
21officers in the Illinois State Department of State Police, a
22single bargaining unit determined by the Board may not include
23both supervisors and nonsupervisors, except for bargaining
24units in existence on the effective date of this Act. With
25respect to non-State fire fighters and paramedics employed by
26fire departments and fire protection districts, non-State

HB5331- 45 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1peace officers and peace officers in the Illinois State
2Department of State Police, a single bargaining unit determined
3by the Board may not include both supervisors and
4nonsupervisors, except for bargaining units in existence on the
5effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985.
6 In cases involving an historical pattern of recognition,
7and in cases where the employer has recognized the union as the
8sole and exclusive bargaining agent for a specified existing
9unit, the Board shall find the employees in the unit then
10represented by the union pursuant to the recognition to be the
11appropriate unit.
12 Notwithstanding the above factors, where the majority of
13public employees of a craft so decide, the Board shall
14designate such craft as a unit appropriate for the purposes of
15collective bargaining.
16 The Board shall not decide that any unit is appropriate if
17such unit includes both professional and nonprofessional
18employees, unless a majority of each group votes for inclusion
19in such unit.
20 (c) Nothing in this Act shall interfere with or negate the
21current representation rights or patterns and practices of
22labor organizations which have historically represented public
23employees for the purpose of collective bargaining, including
24but not limited to the negotiations of wages, hours and working
25conditions, discussions of employees' grievances, resolution
26of jurisdictional disputes, or the establishment and

HB5331- 46 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1maintenance of prevailing wage rates, unless a majority of
2employees so represented express a contrary desire pursuant to
3the procedures set forth in this Act.
4 (d) In instances where the employer does not voluntarily
5recognize a labor organization as the exclusive bargaining
6representative for a unit of employees, the Board shall
7determine the majority representative of the public employees
8in an appropriate collective bargaining unit by conducting a
9secret ballot election, except as otherwise provided in
10subsection (a-5). Within 7 days after the Board issues its
11bargaining unit determination and direction of election or the
12execution of a stipulation for the purpose of a consent
13election, the public employer shall submit to the labor
14organization the complete names and addresses of those
15employees who are determined by the Board to be eligible to
16participate in the election. When the Board has determined that
17a labor organization has been fairly and freely chosen by a
18majority of employees in an appropriate unit, it shall certify
19such organization as the exclusive representative. If the Board
20determines that a majority of employees in an appropriate unit
21has fairly and freely chosen not to be represented by a labor
22organization, it shall so certify. The Board may also revoke
23the certification of the public employee organizations as
24exclusive bargaining representatives which have been found by a
25secret ballot election to be no longer the majority
26representative.

HB5331- 47 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (e) The Board shall not conduct an election in any
2bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof within which a valid
3election has been held in the preceding 12-month period. The
4Board shall determine who is eligible to vote in an election
5and shall establish rules governing the conduct of the election
6or conduct affecting the results of the election. The Board
7shall include on a ballot in a representation election a choice
8of "no representation". A labor organization currently
9representing the bargaining unit of employees shall be placed
10on the ballot in any representation election. In any election
11where none of the choices on the ballot receives a majority, a
12runoff election shall be conducted between the 2 choices
13receiving the largest number of valid votes cast in the
14election. A labor organization which receives a majority of the
15votes cast in an election shall be certified by the Board as
16exclusive representative of all public employees in the unit.
17 (f) A labor organization shall be designated as the
18exclusive representative by a public employer, provided that
19the labor organization represents a majority of the public
20employees in an appropriate unit. Any employee organization
21which is designated or selected by the majority of public
22employees, in a unit of the public employer having no other
23recognized or certified representative, as their
24representative for purposes of collective bargaining may
25request recognition by the public employer in writing. The
26public employer shall post such request for a period of at

HB5331- 48 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1least 20 days following its receipt thereof on bulletin boards
2or other places used or reserved for employee notices.
3 (g) Within the 20-day period any other interested employee
4organization may petition the Board in the manner specified by
5rules and regulations of the Board, provided that such
6interested employee organization has been designated by at
7least 10% of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit
8which includes all or some of the employees in the unit
9recognized by the employer. In such event, the Board shall
10proceed with the petition in the same manner as provided by
11paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this Section.
12 (h) No election shall be directed by the Board in any
13bargaining unit where there is in force a valid collective
14bargaining agreement. The Board, however, may process an
15election petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the
16expiration of the date of an agreement, and may further refine,
17by rule or decision, the implementation of this provision.
18Where more than 4 years have elapsed since the effective date
19of the agreement, the agreement shall continue to bar an
20election, except that the Board may process an election
21petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the end of the
22fifth year of such an agreement, and between 90 and 60 days
23prior to the end of each successive year of such agreement.
24 (i) An order of the Board dismissing a representation
25petition, determining and certifying that a labor organization
26has been fairly and freely chosen by a majority of employees in

HB5331- 49 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1an appropriate bargaining unit, determining and certifying
2that a labor organization has not been fairly and freely chosen
3by a majority of employees in the bargaining unit or certifying
4a labor organization as the exclusive representative of
5employees in an appropriate bargaining unit because of a
6determination by the Board that the labor organization is the
7historical bargaining representative of employees in the
8bargaining unit, is a final order. Any person aggrieved by any
9such order issued on or after the effective date of this
10amendatory Act of 1987 may apply for and obtain judicial review
11in accordance with provisions of the Administrative Review Law,
12as now or hereafter amended, except that such review shall be
13afforded directly in the Appellate Court for the district in
14which the aggrieved party resides or transacts business. Any
15direct appeal to the Appellate Court shall be filed within 35
16days from the date that a copy of the decision sought to be
17reviewed was served upon the party affected by the decision.

10 the time of placement, the Department shall consider
11 concurrent planning, as described in subsection (l-1)
12 of this Section so that permanency may occur at the
13 earliest opportunity. Consideration should be given so
14 that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
15 placement made is the best available placement to
16 provide permanency for the child;
17 (G) (blank);
18 (H) (blank); and
19 (I) placing and maintaining children in facilities
20 that provide separate living quarters for children

13 (c) The Department shall establish and maintain
14tax-supported child welfare services and extend and seek to
15improve voluntary services throughout the State, to the end

24operational expenses in advance. The amount of the advance
25disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract or
26the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less, and

HB5331- 136 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
2bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
3shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated
4during 2 consecutive fiscal years. The requirements of this
5Section concerning advance disbursements shall not apply with
6respect to the following: payments to local public agencies for
7child day care services as authorized by Section 5a of this
8Act; and youth service programs receiving grant funds under

10 (e) (Blank).
11 (f) (Blank).
12 (g) The Department shall establish rules and regulations
13concerning its operation of programs designed to meet the goals
14of child safety and protection, family preservation, family
15reunification, and adoption, including, but not limited to:
16 (1) adoption;

HB5331- 137 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
2 (10) interstate services.
3 Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
4include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
5of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
6or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance use
7disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
8approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor to
9the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
10purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
11referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
12licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
13disorder treatment.
14 (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
15program or facility within or available to the Department for a
16youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
17adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
18youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
19individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
20The plan may be developed within the Department or through
21purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
22within its statutory authority to do.
23 (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
24State and shall include but not be limited to the following
25services:
26 (1) case management;

HB5331- 138 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (2) homemakers;
2 (3) counseling;
3 (4) parent education;
4 (5) day care; and
5 (6) emergency assistance and advocacy.
6 In addition, the following services may be made available
7to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
8 (1) comprehensive family-based services;
9 (2) assessments;
10 (3) respite care; and
11 (4) in-home health services.
12 The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
13services it makes available to children or families or for
14which it refers children or families.
15 (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
16assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
17establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
18grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
19disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
20children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
21in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
22assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
23available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
24dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
25been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
26died. The Department may continue to provide financial

HB5331- 139 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
2determined eligible for financial assistance under this
3subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
4adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
5new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
6parents. The Department may also provide categories of
7financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
8shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
9grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
10Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
114-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
12who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
13appointment of the guardian.
14 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
15of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
16annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
17allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
18may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
19the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
20of the child.
21 Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
22inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
23garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
24a judgment or debt.
25 (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
26of a child for adoption if an approved family is available

HB5331- 140 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
2outside of the State of Illinois.
3 (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
4child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
5dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
6the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
7 (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
8services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
9Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
10extended families. Family preservation services shall be
11offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
12care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
13custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
14(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
15maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
16shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
17children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
18in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
19family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
20other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
21subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
22that reunification services may be offered as provided in
23paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
24Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
25private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
26or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the

HB5331- 141 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
2of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
3facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
4hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
5of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
6out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
7reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
8 The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
9Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
10preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
11child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
12the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
13offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
14report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
15prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
16Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
17or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
18considered in the investigation. The Department may also
19provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
20any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
21such child or family to services available from other agencies
22in the community, even if the report is determined to be
23unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
24are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
25reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
26services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide

HB5331- 142 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1services to any child or family after completion of a family
2assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
3under the "differential response program" provided for in
4subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
5Child Reporting Act.
6 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
7children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
8care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
9as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
10requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
11Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
12be committed to the Department by any court without the
13approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
14effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
152017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
16Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
17adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
18committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
19less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
20Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
21for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
22exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
23minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
24reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
25of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
262017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the

HB5331- 143 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
2adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
3committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
4less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
5Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
6for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
7exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
8minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
9reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
10of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
11when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
12dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
13circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
14delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
15any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
16Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
17hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
18release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
19 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
20date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
21implement a special program of family preservation services to
22support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
23experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
24of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
25developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
26services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the

HB5331- 144 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
2or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
3Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
4family to services available from other agencies in the
5community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
6reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
7reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
8these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
9and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
10social service providers and the general public about these
11special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
12the services offered and the number of families served under
13the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
14determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
15allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
16disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
17including, but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
18as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
19Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
20Psychiatric Association.
21 (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
22the child require that the child be placed in the most
23permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
24possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
25Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
26concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the

HB5331- 145 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
2include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
3the family when the child can be cared for at home without
4endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
5the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
6is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
7permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
8 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
9to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
10reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
11paramount concern.
12 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
13ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
14prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
15child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
16reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
17unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
18of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
19Department believes that further reunification services would
20be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
21reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
22not required to provide further reunification services after
23such a finding.
24 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
25made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
26best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should

HB5331- 146 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
2placement made is the best available placement to provide
3permanency for the child.
4 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
5planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
6shall consider the following factors when determining
7appropriateness of concurrent planning:
8 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
9 (2) the past history of the family;
10 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
11 the family;
12 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
13 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
14 family to reunite;
15 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
16 provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
17 (7) the age of the child;
18 (8) placement of siblings.
19 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
20child if:
21 (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
22 custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
23 having custody of the child if the parents are not living
24 together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
25 the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
26 (2) the child is found in the State and neither a

HB5331- 147 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
2If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
3guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
4may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
5custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
6in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
7custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
8apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
9resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
10enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
11health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
12parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
13such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
14resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
15home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
16follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
175-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
18 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
19and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
20pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
21Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
22pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
23Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
24under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
25custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
26and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as

HB5331- 148 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
2Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
3and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
4subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
51987.
6 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
7custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
8examination.
9 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
10temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
11the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
12Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
13the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
14The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for 10
15days after the receipt of the request, during which period the
16Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
17Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
18Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
19the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
20the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
21custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
22later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
23the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
24temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
25 (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
26age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department

HB5331- 149 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1that cares for children who are in need of secure living
2arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
3determination is made by the facility director and the Director
4or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
5subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
6This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
7to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
8Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
9child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
10Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
11facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
12placement of the child in a secure care facility.
13 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
14in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
15Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
16have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
17safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
18best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
19supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
20facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
21guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
22Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
23payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
24in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
25training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
26average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a

HB5331- 150 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
2operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
3payments does not apply in cases where children require
4specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
5disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
6combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
7of such children are not available at payment rates within the
8limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
9services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
10assignment, sale, attachment, or garnishment or otherwise.
11 (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
12welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
13sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
14minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
15subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
161987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
17provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
18yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
19responsibility for the development and delivery of services
20under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
21this Section through the Department of Children and Family
22Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
23Youth participating in services under this Section shall
24cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
25agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
26youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A

HB5331- 151 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
2youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
3Department shall continue child welfare services under this
4Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
5of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
6self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
7Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
8readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
9welfare services under this Section and how such services may
10be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
11the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
12information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
13describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
14sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
15 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
16review and appeal process for children and families who request
17or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
18care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
19foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
20afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
21families in the case of placement by the Department, including
22the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
23that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
24welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,

3child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
4alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
5appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
6child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court

7such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
8such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
9or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
10confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
11the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
12adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
13such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an

14 is financially able to pay.
15 The Department shall provide written notification to the
16court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
17and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
18The Department shall send to the court information related to
19the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
20determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court
21may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
22 (u) In addition to other information that must be provided,

23advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive
24parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file
25in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency
26placement, casework staff shall at least provide known

15 Sec. 2310-376. Hepatitis education and outreach.
16 (a) The Illinois General Assembly finds and declares the
17following:
18 (1) The World Health Organization characterizes
19 hepatitis as a disease of primary concern to humanity.
20 (2) Hepatitis is considered a silent killer; no
21 recognizable signs or symptoms occur until severe liver
22 damage has occurred.
23 (3) Studies indicate that nearly 4 million Americans
24 (1.8 percent of the population) carry the virus HCV that

HB5331- 221 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 causes the disease.
2 (4) 30,000 acute new infections occur each year in the
3 United States, and only 25 to 30 percent are diagnosed.
4 (5) 8,000 to 10,000 Americans die from the disease each
5 year.
6 (6) 200,000 Illinois residents may be carriers and
7 could develop the debilitating and potentially deadly
8 liver disease.
9 (7) Inmates of correctional facilities have a higher
10 incidence of hepatitis and, upon their release, present a
11 significant health risk to the general population.
12 (8) Illinois members of the armed services are subject
13 to an increased risk of contracting hepatitis due to their
14 possible receipt of contaminated blood during a
15 transfusion occurring for the treatment of wounds and due
16 to their service in areas of the World where the disease is
17 more prevalent and healthcare is less capable of detecting
18 and treating the disease. Many of these service members are
19 unaware of the danger of hepatitis and their increased risk
20 of contracting the disease.
21 (b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall conduct
22an education and outreach campaign, in addition to its overall
23effort to prevent infectious disease in Illinois, in order to
24raise awareness about and promote prevention of hepatitis.

6disease. These materials shall include the recommendations of
7the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and any
8other persons or entities determined by the Department to have
9particular expertise on hepatitis, including the American
10Liver Foundation. These materials shall be written in terms
11that are understandable by members of the general public.
12 (d) The Department shall establish an Advisory Council on
13Hepatitis to develop a hepatitis prevention plan. The
14Department shall specify the membership, members' terms,
15provisions for removal of members, chairmen, and purpose of the
16Advisory Council. The Advisory Council shall consist of one

10 entitled to notice of the petition.
11 (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
12 under the expungement or sealing provisions of this Section

15 asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider. The
16 circuit court retains jurisdiction to determine whether
17 the order is voidable and to vacate, modify, or reconsider
18 its terms based on a motion filed under paragraph (12) of

7 of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the

14follows:
15 (20 ILCS 2637/5)
16 (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2020)
17 Sec. 5. Legislative intent. Racial and ethnic disparity in
18the criminal justice system, or the over-representation of
19certain minority groups compared to their representation in the
20general population, has been well documented, along with the
21harmful effects of such disproportionality. There is no single
22cause of the racial and ethnic disparity evident at every stage
23of the criminal justice system; suggested causes have included
24differing patterns of criminal activity, law enforcement

HB5331- 415 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1activity, and discretionary decisions of criminal justice
2practitioners, along with effects of legislative policies. In
3order to make progress in reducing this harmful phenomenon,
4information on the racial composition of offenders at each
5stage of the criminal justice system must be systematically
6gathered and analyzed to lay the foundation for determining the
7impact of proposed remedies. Gaps of information at any stage
8will hamper valid analysis at subsequent stages. At the
9earliest stages of the criminal justice system, systematic
10statewide information on arrested persons, including race and
11ethnicity, is collected in the Illinois State Police Criminal
12History Record Information System. However, under the Criminal
13Identification Act, systematic statewide information on the
14racial and ethnic composition of adults diverted from arrest by
15law enforcement and diverted from prosecution by each county's
16State's Attorney's office is not available. Therefore, it is
17the intent of this legislation to provide a mechanism by which
18statewide data on the race and ethnicity of offenders diverted
19from the criminal justice system before the filing of a court
20case can be provided by the criminal justice entity involved
21for future racial disparity impact analyses of the criminal
22justice system.

3 (35 ILCS 5/1109) (from Ch. 120, par. 11-1109)
4 Sec. 1109. Demand and Seizure. In addition to any other
5remedy provided for by the laws of this State, if the tax
6imposed by this Act is not paid within the time required by
7this Act, the Department, or some person designated by it, may
8cause a demand to be made on the taxpayer for the payment
9thereof. If such tax remains unpaid for 10 days after such
10demand has been made and no proceedings have been taken to
11review the same, the Department may issue a warrant directed to
12any sheriff or other person authorized to serve process,
13commanding the sheriff or other person to levy upon the
14property and rights to property (whether real or personal,
15tangible or intangible) of the taxpayer, without exemption,
16found within his jurisdiction, for the payment of the amount
17thereof with the added penalties, interest and the cost of
18executing the warrant. The term "levy" includes the power of
19distraint and seizure by any means. In any case in which the
20warrant to levy has been issued, the sheriff or other person to
21whom the warrant was directed may seize and sell such property
22or rights to property. Such warrant shall be returned to the
23Department together with the money collected by virtue thereof
24within the time therein specified, which shall not be less than

HB5331- 489 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
120 nor more than 90 days from the date of the warrant. The
2sheriff or other person to whom such warrant is directed shall
3proceed in the same manner as prescribed by law in respect to
4the enforcement against property upon judgments by a court, and
5shall be entitled to the same fees for his services in
6executing the warrant, to be collected in the same manner. The
7Department, or some officer, employee or agent designated by
8it, is hereby authorized to bid for and purchase any property
9sold under the provisions hereof. No proceedings for a levy
10under this Section shall be commenced more than 20 years after
11the latest date for filing of the notice of lien under the
12provisions of Section 1103, without regard to whether such
13notice was actually filed.
14 Any officer or employee of the Department designated in
15writing by the Director is authorized to serve process under
16this Section to levy upon accounts or other intangible assets
17of a taxpayer held by a financial organization, as defined in
18Section 1501 of this Act. In addition to any other provisions
19of this Section, any officer or employee of the Department
20designated in writing by the Director may levy upon the
21following property and rights to property belonging to a
22taxpayer: contractual payments, accounts and notes receivable
23and other evidences of debt, and interest on bonds, by serving
24a notice of levy on the person making such payment. Levy shall
25not be made until the Department has caused a demand to be made
26on the taxpayer in the manner provided above. In addition to

HB5331- 490 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1any other provisions of this Section, any officer or employee
2of the Department designated in writing by the Director, may
3levy upon the salary, wages, commissions and bonuses of any
4employee, including officers, employees, or elected officials
5of the United States as authorized by Section 5520a of the
6Government Organization and Employees Act (5 U.S.C. 5520a), but
7not upon the salary or wages of officers, employees, or elected
8officials of any state other than this State, by serving a
9notice of levy on the employer, as defined in Section 701(d).
10Levy shall not be made until the Department has caused a demand
11to be made on the employee in the manner provided above. The
12provisions of Section 12-803 of the Code of Civil Procedure
13relating to maximum compensation subject to collection under
14wage deduction orders shall apply to all levies made upon
15compensation under this Section. To the extent of the amount
16due on the levy, the employer or other person making payments
17to the taxpayer shall hold any non-exempt wages or other
18payments due or which subsequently come due. The levy or
19balance due thereon is a lien on wages or other payments due at
20the time of the service of the notice of levy, and such lien
21shall continue as to subsequent earnings and other payments
22until the total amount due upon the levy is paid, except that
23such lien on subsequent earnings or other payments shall
24terminate sooner if the employment relationship is terminated
25or if the notice of levy is rescinded or modified. The employer
26or other person making payments to the taxpayer shall file, on

HB5331- 491 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1or before the return dates stated in the notice of levy (which
2shall not be more often than bimonthly) a written answer under
3oath to interrogatories, setting forth the amount due as wages
4or other payments to the taxpayer for the payment periods
5ending immediately prior to the appropriate return date. A lien
6obtained hereunder shall have priority over any subsequent lien
7obtained pursuant to Section 12-808 of the Code of Civil
8Procedure, except that liens for the support of a spouse or
9dependent children shall have priority over all liens obtained
10hereunder.
11 In any case where property or rights to property have been
12seized by an officer of the Illinois Department of State
13Police, or successor agency thereto, under the authority of a
14warrant to levy issued by the Department of Revenue, the
15Department of Revenue may take possession of and may sell such
16property or rights to property and the Department of Revenue
17may contract with third persons to conduct sales of such
18property or rights to the property. In the conduct of such
19sales, the Department of Revenue shall proceed in the same
20manner as is prescribed by law for proceeding against property
21to enforce judgments which are entered by a circuit court of
22this State. If, in the Department of Revenue's opinion, no
23offer to purchase at such sale is acceptable and the State's
24interest would be better served by retaining the property for
25sale at a later date, then the Department may decline to accept
26any bid and may retain the property for sale at a later date.

11nonoccupational disability benefit, whichever is appropriate,
12in cases in which the occupational or nonoccupational character
13of the disability has not been finally determined.
14 When an employer-paid disability benefit is paid or
15resumed, the Board shall calculate the benefit that is payable
16under Section 14-123 and shall deduct from the benefit payable
17under Section 14-123 the amounts already paid under this

20 When a final determination of the character of the
21disability has been made by the Illinois Workers' Compensation
22Commission, or by settlement between the parties to the
23disputed claim, the Board shall calculate the benefit that is
24payable under Section 14-123 or 14-124, whichever is
25applicable, and shall deduct from such benefit the amounts
26already paid under this Section; such amounts shall then be

HB5331- 536 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1treated as if they had been paid under such Section 14-123 or
214-124.

10recovery rights of the System.
11 (f) Service credits under the State Universities
12Retirement System and the Teachers' Retirement System of the

16which such benefits are payable.
17 (g) The Board shall prescribe rules and regulations
18governing the filing of claims for temporary disability
19benefits, and the investigation, control and supervision of
20such claims.

10 Sec. 6.1. Decertification of full-time and part-time
11police officers.
12 (a) The Board must review police officer conduct and
13records to ensure that no police officer is certified or
14provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been
15convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, a felony offense
16under the laws of this State or any other state which if
17committed in this State would be punishable as a felony. The
18Board must also ensure that no police officer is certified or
19provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been
20convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, on or after the
21effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999 of any
22misdemeanor specified in this Section or if committed in any
23other state would be an offense similar to Section 11-1.50,
2411-6, 11-9.1, 11-14, 11-17, 11-19, 12-2, 12-15, 16-1, 17-1,
2517-2, 28-3, 29-1, 31-1, 31-6, 31-7, 32-4a, or 32-7 of the

HB5331- 544 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, to
2subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2)(C) of Section 11-14.3 of the
3Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or
4subsection (a) of Section 17-32 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
5the Criminal Code of 2012, or to Section 5 or 5.2 of the
6Cannabis Control Act. The Board must appoint investigators to
7enforce the duties conferred upon the Board by this Act.
8 (b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief
9executive officer of every local law enforcement agency or
10department within this State to report to the Board any arrest,
11conviction, or plea of guilty of any officer for an offense
12identified in this Section.
13 (c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time
14and part-time police officer in this State to report to the
15Board within 30 days, and the officer's sheriff or chief
16executive officer, of his or her arrest, conviction, or plea of
17guilty for an offense identified in this Section. Any full-time
18or part-time police officer who knowingly makes, submits,
19causes to be submitted, or files a false or untruthful report
20to the Board must have his or her certificate or waiver
21immediately decertified or revoked.
22 (d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is
23immune from liability for submitting, disclosing, or releasing
24information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in this
25Section as long as the information is submitted, disclosed, or
26released in good faith and without malice. The Board has

HB5331- 545 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1qualified immunity for the release of the information.
2 (e) Any full-time or part-time police officer with a
3certificate or waiver issued by the Board who is convicted of,
4or entered a plea of guilty to, any offense described in this
5Section immediately becomes decertified or no longer has a
6valid waiver. The decertification and invalidity of waivers
7occurs as a matter of law. Failure of a convicted person to
8report to the Board his or her conviction as described in this
9Section or any continued law enforcement practice after
10receiving a conviction is a Class 4 felony.
11 (f) The Board's investigators are peace officers and have
12all the powers possessed by policemen in cities and by
13sheriff's, and these investigators may exercise those powers
14anywhere in the State. An investigator shall not have peace
15officer status or exercise police powers unless he or she
16successfully completes the basic police training course
17mandated and approved by the Board or the Board waives the
18training requirement by reason of the investigator's prior law
19enforcement experience, training, or both. The Board shall not
20waive the training requirement unless the investigator has had
21a minimum of 5 years experience as a sworn officer of a local,
22State, or federal law enforcement agency.
23 (g) The Board must request and receive information and
24assistance from any federal, state, or local governmental
25agency as part of the authorized criminal background
26investigation. The Illinois Department of State Police must

HB5331- 546 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1process, retain, and additionally provide and disseminate
2information to the Board concerning criminal charges, arrests,
3convictions, and their disposition, that have been filed
4before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act
5of the 91st General Assembly against a basic academy applicant,
6law enforcement applicant, or law enforcement officer whose

10record information contained in its files pertaining to law
11enforcement officers or any applicant to a Board certified
12basic law enforcement academy as described in this Act based on
13fingerprint identification. The Board must make payment of fees
14to the Illinois Department of State Police for each fingerprint
15card submission in conformance with the requirements of
16paragraph 22 of Section 55a of the Civil Administrative Code of
17Illinois.
18 (h) A police officer who has been certified or granted a
19valid waiver shall also be decertified or have his or her
20waiver revoked upon a determination by the Illinois Labor
21Relations Board State Panel that he or she, while under oath,
22has knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a
23material fact going to an element of the offense of murder. If
24an appeal is filed, the determination shall be stayed.
25 (1) In the case of an acquittal on a charge of murder,
26 a verified complaint may be filed:

HB5331- 547 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (A) by the defendant; or
2 (B) by a police officer with personal knowledge of
3 perjured testimony.
4 The complaint must allege that a police officer, while
5 under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements
6 as to a material fact going to an element of the offense of
7 murder. The verified complaint must be filed with the
8 Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement
9 Training Standards Board within 2 years of the judgment of
10 acquittal.
11 (2) Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the
12 Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall
13 review the verified complaint and determine whether the
14 verified complaint is frivolous and without merit, or
15 whether further investigation is warranted. The Illinois
16 Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall notify the
17 officer and the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor
18 Relations Board State Panel of the filing of the complaint
19 and any action taken thereon. If the Executive Director of
20 the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board
21 determines that the verified complaint is frivolous and
22 without merit, it shall be dismissed. The Executive
23 Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
24 Standards Board has sole discretion to make this
25 determination and this decision is not subject to appeal.
26 (i) If the Executive Director of the Illinois Law

HB5331- 548 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Enforcement Training Standards Board determines that the
2verified complaint warrants further investigation, he or she
3shall refer the matter to a task force of investigators created
4for this purpose. This task force shall consist of 8 sworn
5police officers: 2 from the Illinois State Police, 2 from the
6City of Chicago Police Department, 2 from county police
7departments, and 2 from municipal police departments. These
8investigators shall have a minimum of 5 years of experience in
9conducting criminal investigations. The investigators shall be
10appointed by the Executive Director of the Illinois Law
11Enforcement Training Standards Board. Any officer or officers
12acting in this capacity pursuant to this statutory provision
13will have statewide police authority while acting in this
14investigative capacity. Their salaries and expenses for the
15time spent conducting investigations under this paragraph
16shall be reimbursed by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
17Standards Board.
18 (j) Once the Executive Director of the Illinois Law
19Enforcement Training Standards Board has determined that an
20investigation is warranted, the verified complaint shall be
21assigned to an investigator or investigators. The investigator
22or investigators shall conduct an investigation of the verified
23complaint and shall write a report of his or her findings. This
24report shall be submitted to the Executive Director of the
25Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel.
26 Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the Illinois

HB5331- 549 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Labor Relations Board State Panel shall review the
2investigative report and determine whether sufficient evidence
3exists to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the verified
4complaint. If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor
5Relations Board State Panel determines upon his or her review
6of the investigatory report that a hearing should not be
7conducted, the complaint shall be dismissed. This decision is
8in the Executive Director's sole discretion, and this dismissal
9may not be appealed.
10 If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
11Board State Panel determines that there is sufficient evidence
12to warrant a hearing, a hearing shall be ordered on the
13verified complaint, to be conducted by an administrative law
14judge employed by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
15Panel. The Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
16Board State Panel shall inform the Executive Director of the
17Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
18person who filed the complaint of either the dismissal of the
19complaint or the issuance of the complaint for hearing. The
20Executive Director shall assign the complaint to the
21administrative law judge within 30 days of the decision
22granting a hearing.
23 (k) In the case of a finding of guilt on the offense of
24murder, if a new trial is granted on direct appeal, or a state
25post-conviction evidentiary hearing is ordered, based on a
26claim that a police officer, under oath, knowingly and

HB5331- 550 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1willfully made false statements as to a material fact going to
2an element of the offense of murder, the Illinois Labor
3Relations Board State Panel shall hold a hearing to determine
4whether the officer should be decertified if an interested
5party requests such a hearing within 2 years of the court's
6decision. The complaint shall be assigned to an administrative
7law judge within 30 days so that a hearing can be scheduled.
8 At the hearing, the accused officer shall be afforded the
9opportunity to:
10 (1) Be represented by counsel of his or her own
11 choosing;
12 (2) Be heard in his or her own defense;
13 (3) Produce evidence in his or her defense;
14 (4) Request that the Illinois Labor Relations Board
15 State Panel compel the attendance of witnesses and
16 production of related documents including but not limited
17 to court documents and records.
18 Once a case has been set for hearing, the verified
19complaint shall be referred to the Department of Professional
20Regulation. That office shall prosecute the verified complaint
21at the hearing before the administrative law judge. The
22Department of Professional Regulation shall have the
23opportunity to produce evidence to support the verified
24complaint and to request the Illinois Labor Relations Board
25State Panel to compel the attendance of witnesses and the
26production of related documents, including, but not limited to,

HB5331- 551 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1court documents and records. The Illinois Labor Relations Board
2State Panel shall have the power to issue subpoenas requiring
3the attendance of and testimony of witnesses and the production
4of related documents including, but not limited to, court
5documents and records and shall have the power to administer
6oaths.
7 The administrative law judge shall have the responsibility
8of receiving into evidence relevant testimony and documents,
9including court records, to support or disprove the allegations
10made by the person filing the verified complaint and, at the
11close of the case, hear arguments. If the administrative law
12judge finds that there is not clear and convincing evidence to
13support the verified complaint that the police officer has,
14while under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements
15as to a material fact going to an element of the offense of
16murder, the administrative law judge shall make a written
17recommendation of dismissal to the Illinois Labor Relations
18Board State Panel. If the administrative law judge finds that
19there is clear and convincing evidence that the police officer
20has, while under oath, knowingly and willfully made false
21statements as to a material fact that goes to an element of the
22offense of murder, the administrative law judge shall make a
23written recommendation so concluding to the Illinois Labor
24Relations Board State Panel. The hearings shall be transcribed.
25The Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
26Standards Board shall be informed of the administrative law

HB5331- 552 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1judge's recommended findings and decision and the Illinois
2Labor Relations Board State Panel's subsequent review of the
3recommendation.
4 (l) An officer named in any complaint filed pursuant to
5this Act shall be indemnified for his or her reasonable
6attorney's fees and costs by his or her employer. These fees
7shall be paid in a regular and timely manner. The State, upon
8application by the public employer, shall reimburse the public
9employer for the accused officer's reasonable attorney's fees
10and costs. At no time and under no circumstances will the
11accused officer be required to pay his or her own reasonable
12attorney's fees or costs.
13 (m) The accused officer shall not be placed on unpaid
14status because of the filing or processing of the verified
15complaint until there is a final non-appealable order
16sustaining his or her guilt and his or her certification is
17revoked. Nothing in this Act, however, restricts the public
18employer from pursuing discipline against the officer in the
19normal course and under procedures then in place.
20 (n) The Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall
21review the administrative law judge's recommended decision and
22order and determine by a majority vote whether or not there was
23clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while
24under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as to
25a material fact going to the offense of murder. Within 30 days
26of service of the administrative law judge's recommended

HB5331- 553 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1decision and order, the parties may file exceptions to the
2recommended decision and order and briefs in support of their
3exceptions with the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel.
4The parties may file responses to the exceptions and briefs in
5support of the responses no later than 15 days after the
6service of the exceptions. If exceptions are filed by any of
7the parties, the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel
8shall review the matter and make a finding to uphold, vacate,
9or modify the recommended decision and order. If the Illinois
10Labor Relations Board State Panel concludes that there is clear
11and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while under
12oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a
13material fact going to an element of the offense murder, the
14Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall inform the
15Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
16Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall revoke
17the accused officer's certification. If the accused officer
18appeals that determination to the Appellate Court, as provided
19by this Act, he or she may petition the Appellate Court to stay
20the revocation of his or her certification pending the court's
21review of the matter.
22 (o) None of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
23Panel's findings or determinations shall set any precedent in

24 Sec. 50. Fund audits. The Auditor General shall conduct as
25a part of its bi-annual audit, an audit of the Statewide 9-1-1

HB5331- 648 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Fund and the Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund for compliance
2with the requirements of this Act. The audit shall include, but
3not be limited to, the following determinations:
4 (1) Whether detailed records of all receipts and
5 disbursements from the Statewide 9-1-1 Fund and the
6 Wireless Carrier Reimbursement Fund are being maintained.
7 (2) Whether administrative costs charged to the funds
8 are adequately documented and are reasonable.
9 (3) Whether the procedures for making disbursements
10 and grants and providing reimbursements in accordance with
11 the Act are adequate.
12 (4) The status of the implementation of statewide 9-1-1
13 service and Next Generation 9-1-1 service in Illinois.
14 The Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois Department
15of State Police, and any other entity or person that may have
16information relevant to the audit shall cooperate fully and
17promptly with the Office of the Auditor General in conducting

25 Sec. 55. Public disclosure. Because of the highly

HB5331- 649 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1competitive nature of the telephone industry, public
2disclosure of information about surcharge moneys paid by
3carriers could have the effect of stifling competition to the
4detriment of the public and the delivery of 9-1-1 services.
5Therefore, the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois
6Department of State Police, governmental agencies, and
7individuals with access to that information shall take
8appropriate steps to prevent public disclosure of this
9information. Information and data supporting the amount and
10distribution of surcharge moneys collected and remitted by an
11individual carrier shall be deemed exempt information for
12purposes of the Freedom of Information Act and shall not be
13publicly disclosed. The gross amount paid by all carriers shall
14not be deemed exempt and may be publicly disclosed.

2including any civil or criminal penalties applicable thereto,
3arising out of those transferred rights, powers, duties, and
4functions.
5 Public Act 99-6 does not affect any act done, ratified, or
6cancelled, any right occurring or established, or any action or
7proceeding commenced in an administrative, civil, or criminal
8case before January 1, 2016. Any such action or proceeding that
9pertains to a right, power, duty, or function transferred to
10the Illinois State Police Department under Public Act 99-6 that

9analysis; summoning jury; reports. Every coroner, whenever, as
10soon as he knows or is informed that the dead body of any
11person is found, or lying within his county, whose death is
12suspected of being:
13 (a) A sudden or violent death, whether apparently
14 suicidal, homicidal or accidental, including but not
15 limited to deaths apparently caused or contributed to by
16 thermal, traumatic, chemical, electrical or radiational
17 injury, or a complication of any of them, or by drowning or
18 suffocation, or as a result of domestic violence as defined
19 in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986;
20 (b) A death due to a sex crime;
21 (c) A death where the circumstances are suspicious,
22 obscure, mysterious or otherwise unexplained or where, in
23 the written opinion of the attending physician, the cause
24 of death is not determined;

HB5331- 659 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (d) A death where addiction to alcohol or to any drug
2 may have been a contributory cause; or
3 (e) A death where the decedent was not attended by a
4 licensed physician;
5shall go to the place where the dead body is, and take charge
6of the same and shall make a preliminary investigation into the
7circumstances of the death. In the case of death without
8attendance by a licensed physician the body may be moved with
9the coroner's consent from the place of death to a mortuary in
10the same county. Coroners in their discretion shall notify such
11physician as is designated in accordance with Section 3-3014 to
12attempt to ascertain the cause of death, either by autopsy or
13otherwise.
14 In cases of accidental death involving a motor vehicle in

16of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of age or
17older, the coroner shall require that a blood specimen of at
18least 30 cc., and if medically possible a urine specimen of at
19least 30 cc. or as much as possible up to 30 cc., be withdrawn
20from the body of the decedent in a timely fashion after the
21accident causing his death, by such physician as has been
22designated in accordance with Section 3-3014, or by the coroner
23or deputy coroner or a qualified person designated by such
24physician, coroner, or deputy coroner. If the county does not
25maintain laboratory facilities for making such analysis, the
26blood and urine so drawn shall be sent to the Illinois

HB5331- 660 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1Department of State Police or any other accredited or
2State-certified laboratory for analysis of the alcohol, carbon
3monoxide, and dangerous or narcotic drug content of such blood
4and urine specimens. Each specimen submitted shall be
5accompanied by pertinent information concerning the decedent
6upon a form prescribed by such laboratory. Any person drawing
7blood and urine and any person making any examination of the
8blood and urine under the terms of this Division shall be
9immune from all liability, civil or criminal, that might
10otherwise be incurred or imposed.
11 In all other cases coming within the jurisdiction of the
12coroner and referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above,
13blood, and whenever possible, urine samples shall be analyzed
14for the presence of alcohol and other drugs. When the coroner
15suspects that drugs may have been involved in the death, either
16directly or indirectly, a toxicological examination shall be
17performed which may include analyses of blood, urine, bile,
18gastric contents and other tissues. When the coroner suspects a
19death is due to toxic substances, other than drugs, the coroner
20shall consult with the toxicologist prior to collection of
21samples. Information submitted to the toxicologist shall
22include information as to height, weight, age, sex and race of
23the decedent as well as medical history, medications used by

25 When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
26of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical

HB5331- 661 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
2submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
3obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of
4the decedent in a timely fashion. For proper preservation of
5the specimens, collected blood and buccal specimens shall be
6dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available
7equipment exists. As soon as possible, but no later than 30
8days after the collection of the specimens, the coroner or
9medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
10agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as
11possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the
12coroner or medical examiner, the police agency shall submit the
13specimens using the agency case number to a National DNA Index
14System (NDIS) participating laboratory within this State, such
15as the Illinois Department of State Police, Division of
16Forensic Services, for analysis and categorizing into genetic
17marker groupings. The results of the analysis and categorizing
18into genetic marker groupings shall be provided to the Illinois
19Department of State Police and shall be maintained by the
20Illinois Department of State Police in the State central
21repository in the same manner, and subject to the same
22conditions, as provided in Section 5-4-3 of the Unified Code of
23Corrections. The requirements of this paragraph are in addition
24to any other findings, specimens, or information that the

1 In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide, or
2accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion of
3the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age
4from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
5summons shall command these persons to present themselves
6personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
7determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
8determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
9for acknowledgment acknowledgement which the coroner deems
10practical and provides a reliable proof of service. The summons
11may be served by first class mail. From the 8 persons so
12summoned, the coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury for
13the inquest. Inquests may be continued from time to time, as
14the coroner may deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a
15given case may view the body of the deceased. If at any
16continuation of an inquest one or more of the original jurors
17shall be unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill
18the vacancy or vacancies. A juror serving pursuant to this
19paragraph shall receive compensation from the county at the
20same rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or
21grand jurors in the county. The coroner shall furnish to each
22juror without fee at the time of his discharge a certificate of
23the number of days in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being
24presented with such certificate, the county treasurer shall pay
25to the juror the sum provided for his services.
26 In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of

HB5331- 663 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
2coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
3provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner
4shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
5Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
6deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
7may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
8inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
9unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the vacancy
10or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional jurors to
11fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury commission. A
12juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such county shall
13receive compensation from the county at the same rate as the
14rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand jurors in
15the county.
16 In every case in which a fire is determined to be a
17contributing factor in a death, the coroner shall report the
18death to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The coroner
19shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
20days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in a
21manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
22Marshal.
23 In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be
24the cause or a contributing factor in the death, the coroner or
25medical examiner shall report the death to the Department of
26Public Health. The Department of Public Health shall adopt

HB5331- 664 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
2the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
3report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,
4"overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
5the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
6Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
7Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
8shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
9death figures organized by location, age, and any other
10factors, the Department deems appropriate.
11 In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
12determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
13shall report the death to the Illinois Department of State
14Police.
15 All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards of
16the State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the
17Children and Family Services Act in private care facilities or
18in programs funded by the Department of Human Services under
19its powers relating to mental health and developmental
20disabilities or alcoholism and substance abuse or funded by the
21Department of Children and Family Services shall be reported to
22the coroner of the county in which the facility is located. If
23the coroner has reason to believe that an investigation is
24needed to determine whether the death was caused by
25maltreatment or negligent care of the ward of the State or
26youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children and

HB5331- 665 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2investigation of the circumstances of such death as in cases of
3death under circumstances set forth in paragraphs (a) through
4(e) of this Section.

11department.
12 (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
13provisions of Section 10-1-7.2, this Section shall apply to all
14original appointments to an affected full-time fire
15department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
16be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
17years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
1897-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
19 Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
20to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
21department to which this Section applies shall be administered
22in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
23Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
24adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to

HB5331- 666 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
2continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
3Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
4and any other law, this Section shall control.
5 A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
6administer its fire department process for original
7appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
8Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
9Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
10concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
11functions exercised by the State.
12 A municipality that is operating under a court order or
13consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
14fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
15Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
16Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for

21 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
22to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
23eligibles established in accordance with the processes
24established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
25the performance standards required by this Section shall be
26placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to

HB5331- 667 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1an affected fire department.
2 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
3a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
4firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
5or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
6granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
7cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
8the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
9list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
10the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
11for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
12alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
13department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
14over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
15person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
16eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
17ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
18who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
19is less than 5 people.
20 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
21losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
22candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
23by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
24prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
25examinations, including an examination held during the time a
26candidate is already on the municipality's register of

HB5331- 668 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1eligibles.
2 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
3shall be vested in the Civil Service Commission. All
4certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member of
5an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson and
6secretary, respectively, of the commission upon appointment of
7such officer or member to the affected department by the
8commission. After being selected from the register of eligibles
9to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
10shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
11on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
12of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a
13certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
14provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
15written request to the chairperson of the Civil Service
16Commission. Each person who accepts a certificate of
17appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
18period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
19member of the fire department.
20 For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
21person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
22effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the

3clerks and dispatchers or other civilian employees of a fire
4department or fire protection district who are not routinely

6 (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
7The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
8identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
9aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
10members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
11quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
12for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
13be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
14competitive, and open to all applicants unless the municipality
15shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
16municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is
17located, State, or nation. Any examination and testing
18procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall
19be supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall
20comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
21Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
22service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
23participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
24Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
25application process.
26 Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual

HB5331- 670 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
2restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
3service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
4promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
5for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
6of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
7Fire Department Promotion Act.
8 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
9to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
10the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
11in the regularly constituted fire department of the
12municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age
13limitation does not apply to:
14 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
15 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
16 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
17 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
18 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
19 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
20 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
21 protection district,
22 (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
23 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
24 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
25 that the municipality begins to use full-time firefighters

HB5331- 671 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
2 of the active or reserve components of any of the branches

7 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
8for employment as a firefighter.
9 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
10political or religious opinions or affiliations. The

13 No municipality shall require that any firefighter
14appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
15period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
16which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
17leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
18days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
19the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
20for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
21employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
22sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
23hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
24licensure.
25 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
26for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final

HB5331- 672 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

5applicant's physical ability prior to his or her appointment.
6If, after the second examination, the physical ability of the
7applicant shall be found to be less than the minimum standard
8fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant shall not
9be appointed. The applicant's name may be retained upon the
10register of candidates eligible for appointment and when next
11reached for certification and appointment that applicant may be
12again examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
13ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
14standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
15shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
16removed from the register.

22published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published
23therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general

21undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
22essential functions included in the duties they may be called
23upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
24purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
25functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
26called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The

HB5331- 674 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
2department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
3in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
4for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
5competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
6each applicant's physical abilities in the following
7dimensions:

8authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
9person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
10passage of the written examination or the passage of the
11written examination and the physical ability component.
12Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
13score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by

3 In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
4register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
5before any applicable preference points or subjective points
6are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
7commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
8score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
9register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
10score set by the commission.
11 The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons
12whose total score is not less than the minimum score for
13passage and who have passed the physical ability examination.
14These persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates
15in the order of their relative excellence based on the highest
16to the lowest total points scored on the mental aptitude,
17subjective component, and preference components of the test
18administered in accordance with this Section. No more than 60

9 (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
10provisions of Section 10-2.1-6.4, this Section shall apply to

14years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
1597-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.

1 A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
2administer its fire department process for original
3appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
4Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
5Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
6concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
7functions exercised by the State.
8 A municipality that is operating under a court order or
9consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
10fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
11Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
12Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for
13the duration of the court order or consent decree.
14 Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
15(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
16than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
17 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
18to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
19eligibles established in accordance with the processes
20established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
21the performance standards required by this Section shall be
22placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
23an affected fire department.
24 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
25a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
26firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position

HB5331- 693 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
2granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
3cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
4the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
5list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
6the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
7for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
8alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
9department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
10over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
11person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
12eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
13ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
14who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
15is less than 5 people.
16 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
17losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
18candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
19by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
20prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
21examinations, including an examination held during the time a
22candidate is already on the municipality's register of
23eligibles.
24 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
25shall be vested in the board of fire and police commissioners.
26All certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member

HB5331- 694 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1of an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson
2and secretary, respectively, of the board upon appointment of
3such officer or member to the affected department by action of
4the board. After being selected from the register of eligibles
5to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
6shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
7on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
8of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a
9certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
10provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
11written request to the chairperson of the board of fire and
12police commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of
13appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
14period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
15member of the fire department.
16 For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
17person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the

20protection district or employed by a State university and sworn
21or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or paramedic
22duties, or both, except that the following persons are not
23included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve, or
24voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call firefighters;
25clerks and dispatchers or other civilian employees of a fire
26department or fire protection district who are not routinely

1expected to perform firefighter duties; and elected officials.
2 (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
3The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
4identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
5aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
6members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
7quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
8for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
9be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
10competitive, and open to all applicants unless the municipality
11shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
12municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is
13located, State, or nation. Any examination and testing
14procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall
15be supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall
16comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
17Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
18service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
19participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
20Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
21application process.
22 Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
23enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
24restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
25service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
26promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and

HB5331- 696 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
2of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
3Fire Department Promotion Act.
4 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
5to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
6the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
7in the regularly constituted fire department of the
8municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age
9limitation does not apply to:
10 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
11 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
12 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
13 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
14 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
15 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
16 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
17 protection district,
18 (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
19 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
20 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
21 that the municipality begins to use full-time firefighters
22 to provide all or part of its fire protection service, or
23 (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
24 of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
25 of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
26 Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as

HB5331- 697 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
2 military, and is currently under the age of 40.
3 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
4for employment as a firefighter.
5 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
6political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
7examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
8municipality or their designees and agents.
9 No municipality shall require that any firefighter
10appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
11period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
12which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
13leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
14days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
15the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
16for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
17employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
18sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
19hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
20licensure.
21 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
22for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
23eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
24appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the
25date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission
26may cause a second examination to be made of that applicant's

HB5331- 698 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1physical ability prior to his or her appointment. If, after the
2second examination, the physical ability of the applicant shall
3be found to be less than the minimum standard fixed by the
4rules of the commission, the applicant shall not be appointed.
5The applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
6candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
7certification and appointment that applicant may be again
8examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
9ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
10standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
11shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
12removed from the register.
13 (d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of
14the time, place, general scope, merit criteria for any
15subjective component, and fee of every examination shall be
16given by the commission, by a publication at least 2 weeks

18published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published
19therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
20circulation within the municipality, or (ii) on the
21municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
22examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
23 The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
24firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
25ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
26aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall

HB5331- 699 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
2final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
3subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by
4the commission. Scores from the examination must be made
5available to the public.
6 (e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
7least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school

13performed by members of a fire department. Written examinations
14shall be administered in a manner that ensures the security and
15accuracy of the scores achieved.
16 (f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
17undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
18essential functions included in the duties they may be called
19upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
20purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
21functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
22called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
23frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
24department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
25in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
26for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,

HB5331- 700 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
2each applicant's physical abilities in the following
3dimensions:
4 (1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
5 that may be required in the performance of duties including
6 grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength. Tests shall
7 be conducted under anaerobic as well as aerobic conditions

20 The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
21capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
22industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
23approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
24of the State Fire Marshal.
25 Physical ability examinations administered under this
26Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors

HB5331- 701 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
2regulations of the commission.

4authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
5person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
6passage of the written examination or the passage of the
7written examination and the physical ability component.
8Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
9score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by

10 achieved. The numerical result thus attained shall be
11 applied by the commission in determining the final
12 eligibility list and appointment from the eligibility

22years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
2397-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
24 Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law

HB5331- 714 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
2department to which this Section applies shall be administered

24 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
25a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
26firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position

HB5331- 715 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
3cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
4the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility

8alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
9department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
10over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
11person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of

10quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
11for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
12be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
13competitive, and open to all applicants unless the district
14shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
15district, county or counties in which the district is located,
16State, or nation. Any examination and testing procedure
17utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall be
18supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall comply
19with all applicable State and federal laws. Districts may
20establish educational, emergency medical service licensure,
21and other prerequisites prerequites for participation in an
22examination or for hire as a firefighter. Any fire protection
23district may charge a fee to cover the costs of the application
24process.

26enters the fire service of a district cannot be made more

HB5331- 718 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2service for that district, or be made a condition of promotion,
3except for the rank or position of fire chief and for no more
4than 2 positions that rank immediately below that of the chief
5rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the Fire
6Department Promotion Act.
7 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
8to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
9the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
10in the regularly constituted fire department of the district,
11except as provided in this Section. The age limitation does not
12apply to:
13 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
14 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
15 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
16 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
17 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
18 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
19 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
20 protection district;
21 (2) any person who has served a fire district as a
22 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
23 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
24 that the district begins to use full-time firefighters to
25 provide all or part of its fire protection service; or
26 (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member

HB5331- 719 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2 of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
3 Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
4 honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
5 military, and is currently under the age of 40.
6 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
7for employment as a firefighter.
8 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
9political or religious opinions or affiliations. The

13the lowest rank serve a probationary employment period of
14longer than one year of actual active employment, which may
15exclude periods of training, or injury or illness leaves,
16including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar days.
17Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
18probationary employment period limitation may be extended for a
19firefighter who is required, as a condition of employment, to
20be a licensed paramedic, during which time the sole reason that
21a firefighter may be discharged without a hearing is for
22failing to meet the requirements for paramedic licensure.
23 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
24for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
25eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
26appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the

HB5331- 720 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission
2may cause a second examination to be made of that applicant's
3physical ability prior to his or her appointment. If, after the

6 Sec. 2-3.25o. Registration and recognition of non-public
7elementary and secondary schools.
8 (a) Findings. The General Assembly finds and declares (i)
9that the Constitution of the State of Illinois provides that a
10"fundamental goal of the People of the State is the educational
11development of all persons to the limits of their capacities"
12and (ii) that the educational development of every school
13student serves the public purposes of the State. In order to
14ensure that all Illinois students and teachers have the
15opportunity to enroll and work in State-approved educational
16institutions and programs, the State Board of Education shall
17provide for the voluntary registration and recognition of
18non-public elementary and secondary schools.
19 (b) Registration. All non-public elementary and secondary
20schools in the State of Illinois may voluntarily register with
21the State Board of Education on an annual basis. Registration
22shall be completed in conformance with procedures prescribed by
23the State Board of Education. Information required for
24registration shall include assurances of compliance (i) with
25federal and State laws regarding health examination and

HB5331- 745 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2nondiscrimination and (ii) with applicable fire and health
3safety requirements.
4 (c) Recognition. All non-public elementary and secondary

6status of "Non-public School Recognition" from the State Board
7of Education. This status may be obtained by compliance with
8administrative guidelines and review procedures as prescribed
9by the State Board of Education. The guidelines and procedures
10must recognize that some of the aims and the financial bases of
11non-public schools are different from public schools and will
12not be identical to those for public schools, nor will they be
13more burdensome. The guidelines and procedures must also
14recognize the diversity of non-public schools and shall not
15impinge upon the noneducational relationships between those
16schools and their clientele.
17 (c-5) Prohibition against recognition. A non-public
18elementary or secondary school may not obtain "Non-public
19School Recognition" status unless the school requires all
20certified and non-certified applicants for employment with the
21school, after July 1, 2007, to authorize a fingerprint-based
22criminal history records check as a condition of employment to
23determine if such applicants have been convicted of any of the

5 Authorization for the check shall be furnished by the
6applicant to the school, except that if the applicant is a
7substitute teacher seeking employment in more than one
8non-public school, a teacher seeking concurrent part-time
9employment positions with more than one non-public school (as a

11or an educational support personnel employee seeking
12employment positions with more than one non-public school, then
13only one of the non-public schools employing the individual
14shall request the authorization. Upon receipt of this
15authorization, the non-public school shall submit the
16applicant's name, sex, race, date of birth, social security
17number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as
18prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police, to the

101, 2007, to determine whether the applicant has been
11adjudicated a sex offender.

17States that, if committed or attempted in this State, would
18have been punishable as one or more of those offenses. No
19non-public school may obtain recognition status under this
20Section that knowingly employs a person who has been found to
21be the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of a minor under

5 Sec. 2-201.5. Screening prior to admission.
6 (a) All persons age 18 or older seeking admission to a
7nursing facility must be screened to determine the need for
8nursing facility services prior to being admitted, regardless
9of income, assets, or funding source. Screening for nursing
10facility services shall be administered through procedures
11established by administrative rule. Screening may be done by
12agencies other than the Department as established by
13administrative rule. This Section applies on and after July 1,
141996. No later than October 1, 2010, the Department of
15Healthcare and Family Services, in collaboration with the
16Department on Aging, the Department of Human Services, and the
17Department of Public Health, shall file administrative rules
18providing for the gathering, during the screening process, of
19information relevant to determining each person's potential
20for placing other residents, employees, and visitors at risk of
21harm.
22 (a-1) Any screening performed pursuant to subsection (a) of
23this Section shall include a determination of whether any
24person is being considered for admission to a nursing facility
25due to a need for mental health services. For a person who

HB5331- 817 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1needs mental health services, the screening shall also include
2an evaluation of whether there is permanent supportive housing,
3or an array of community mental health services, including but
4not limited to supported housing, assertive community
5treatment, and peer support services, that would enable the
6person to live in the community. The person shall be told about
7the existence of any such services that would enable the person
8to live safely and humanely and about available appropriate
9nursing home services that would enable the person to live
10safely and humanely, and the person shall be given the
11assistance necessary to avail himself or herself of any
12available services.
13 (a-2) Pre-screening for persons with a serious mental
14illness shall be performed by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a
15registered nurse certified in psychiatric nursing, a licensed
16clinical professional counselor, or a licensed clinical social
17worker, who is competent to (i) perform a clinical assessment
18of the individual, (ii) certify a diagnosis, (iii) make a
19determination about the individual's current need for
20treatment, including substance abuse treatment, and recommend
21specific treatment, and (iv) determine whether a facility or a
22community-based program is able to meet the needs of the
23individual.
24 For any person entering a nursing facility, the
25pre-screening agent shall make specific recommendations about
26what care and services the individual needs to receive,

HB5331- 818 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1beginning at admission, to attain or maintain the individual's
2highest level of independent functioning and to live in the
3most integrated setting appropriate for his or her physical and
4personal care and developmental and mental health needs. These
5recommendations shall be revised as appropriate by the
6pre-screening or re-screening agent based on the results of
7resident review and in response to changes in the resident's
8wishes, needs, and interest in transition.
9 Upon the person entering the nursing facility, the
10Department of Human Services or its designee shall assist the
11person in establishing a relationship with a community mental
12health agency or other appropriate agencies in order to (i)
13promote the person's transition to independent living and (ii)
14support the person's progress in meeting individual goals.
15 (a-3) The Department of Human Services, by rule, shall
16provide for a prohibition on conflicts of interest for
17pre-admission screeners. The rule shall provide for waiver of
18those conflicts by the Department of Human Services if the
19Department of Human Services determines that a scarcity of
20qualified pre-admission screeners exists in a given community
21and that, absent a waiver of conflicts, an insufficient number
22of pre-admission screeners would be available. If a conflict is
23waived, the pre-admission screener shall disclose the conflict
24of interest to the screened individual in the manner provided
25for by rule of the Department of Human Services. For the
26purposes of this subsection, a "conflict of interest" includes,

HB5331- 819 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1but is not limited to, the existence of a professional or
2financial relationship between (i) a PAS-MH corporate or a
3PAS-MH agent and (ii) a community provider or long-term care
4facility.
5 (b) In addition to the screening required by subsection
6(a), a facility, except for those licensed under the MC/DD Act,
7shall, within 24 hours after admission, request a criminal
8history background check pursuant to the Illinois Uniform
9Conviction Information Act for all persons age 18 or older
10seeking admission to the facility, unless (i) a background
11check was initiated by a hospital pursuant to subsection (d) of
12Section 6.09 of the Hospital Licensing Act or a pre-admission
13background check was conducted by the Department of Veterans'
14Affairs 30 days prior to admittance into an Illinois Veterans
15Home; (ii) the transferring resident is immobile; or (iii) the
16transferring resident is moving into hospice. The exemption
17provided in item (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (b) shall
18apply only if a background check was completed by the facility
19the resident resided at prior to seeking admission to the
20facility and the resident was transferred to the facility with
21no time passing during which the resident was not
22institutionalized. If item (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (b)
23applies, the prior facility shall provide a copy of its
24background check of the resident and all supporting
25documentation, including, when applicable, the criminal
26history report and the security assessment, to the facility to

HB5331- 820 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1which the resident is being transferred. Background checks
2conducted pursuant to this Section shall be based on the
3resident's name, date of birth, and other identifiers as
4required by the Illinois Department of State Police. If the
5results of the background check are inconclusive, the facility
6shall initiate a fingerprint-based check, unless the
7fingerprint check is waived by the Director of Public Health
8based on verification by the facility that the resident is
9completely immobile or that the resident meets other criteria
10related to the resident's health or lack of potential risk
11which may be established by Departmental rule. A waiver issued
12pursuant to this Section shall be valid only while the resident
13is immobile or while the criteria supporting the waiver exist.
14The facility shall provide for or arrange for any required
15fingerprint-based checks to be taken on the premises of the
16facility. If a fingerprint-based check is required, the
17facility shall arrange for it to be conducted in a manner that
18is respectful of the resident's dignity and that minimizes any
19emotional or physical hardship to the resident.
20 (c) If the results of a resident's criminal history
21background check reveal that the resident is an identified
22offender as defined in Section 1-114.01, the facility shall do
23the following:
24 (1) Immediately notify the Illinois Department of
25 State Police, in the form and manner required by the

2 identified offender.
3 (2) Within 72 hours, arrange for a fingerprint-based
4 criminal history record inquiry to be requested on the
5 identified offender resident. The inquiry shall be based on
6 the subject's name, sex, race, date of birth, fingerprint
7 images, and other identifiers required by the Illinois
8 Department of State Police. The inquiry shall be processed
9 through the files of the Illinois Department of State
10 Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to locate
11 any criminal history record information that may exist
12 regarding the subject. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
13 shall furnish to the Illinois Department of State Police,
14 pursuant to an inquiry under this paragraph (2), any
15 criminal history record information contained in its
16 files.
17 The facility shall comply with all applicable provisions
18contained in the Illinois Uniform Conviction Information Act.
19 All name-based and fingerprint-based criminal history
20record inquiries shall be submitted to the Illinois Department
21of State Police electronically in the form and manner
22prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police. The
23Illinois Department of State Police may charge the facility a
24fee for processing name-based and fingerprint-based criminal
25history record inquiries. The fee shall be deposited into the
26State Police Services Fund. The fee shall not exceed the actual

HB5331- 822 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1cost of processing the inquiry.

7improving resident pre-screening and assessment procedures
8(including the Criminal History Report prepared under Section
92-201.6) and the adequacy of Department requirements
10concerning the provision of care and services to residents. A
11resident shall not be listed in the database until a Department
12survey confirms the accuracy of the listing. The names of
13persons listed in the database and information that would allow
14them to be individually identified shall not be made public.
15Neither the Department nor any other agency of State government
16may use information in the database to take any action against
17any individual, licensee, or other entity, unless the
18Department or agency receives the information independent of
19this subsection (e). All information collected, maintained, or
20developed under the authority of this subsection (e) for the
21purposes of the database maintained under this subsection (e)
22shall be treated in the same manner as information that is
23subject to Part 21 of Article VIII of the Code of Civil
24Procedure.

11hospitals to post-hospital care, whenever a patient who
12qualifies for the federal Medicare program is hospitalized, the

15discharges to a skilled nursing facility, the hospital must
16notify the case coordination unit, as defined in 89 Ill. Adm.
17Code 240.260, at least 24 hours prior to discharge. When the
18assessment is completed in the hospital, the case coordination
19unit shall provide a copy of the required assessment
20documentation directly to the nursing home to which the patient
21is being discharged prior to discharge. The Department on Aging
22shall provide notice of this requirement to case coordination
23units. When a case coordination unit is unable to complete an
24assessment in a hospital prior to the discharge of a patient,

HB5331- 852 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
160 years of age or older, to a nursing home, the case
2coordination unit shall notify the Department on Aging which

7home care, the nursing home is not penalized for accepting the
8admission, and the patient's timely discharge from the hospital
9is not delayed, to the extent permitted under federal law or
10regulation. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude federal
11requirements for a pre-admission screening/mental health

20with medical staff privileges at the hospital or any
21appropriate medical staff member to provide the discharge
22notice prescribed in subsection (a) of this Section. The

15Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, and hospice facilities.
16Reliance upon this list by a hospital shall satisfy compliance
17with this requirement. The procedure may also include a waiver
18for any case in which a discharge notice is not feasible due to
19a short length of stay in the hospital by the patient, or for
20any case in which the patient voluntarily desires to leave the
21hospital before the expiration of the 24 hour period.
22 (c) At least 24 hours prior to discharge from the hospital,
23the patient shall receive written information on the patient's
24right to appeal the discharge pursuant to the federal Medicare

22forth in items (1) through (5).
23 A hospital shall notify a long term care facility if the
24hospital has initiated a criminal history background check on a
25patient being discharged to that facility. In all circumstances
26in which the hospital is required by this subsection to

HB5331- 855 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1initiate the criminal history background check, the transfer to
2the long term care facility may proceed regardless of the
3availability of criminal history results. Upon receipt of the
4results, the hospital shall promptly forward the results to the
5appropriate long term care facility. If the results of the
6background check are inconclusive, the hospital shall have no
7additional duty or obligation to seek additional information
8from, or about, the patient.

1services. However, in either circumstance, the individual
2shall comply with the requirements of subsection (e) of this
3Section as a requirement for licensure.
4 (c) No fingerprint vendor may be the licensee-in-charge for

8of that individual or because of the termination of the
9employment of that individual, the Department shall issue a

11operation of the licensed agency. No temporary certificate of
12authority shall be valid for more than 90 days. An extension of
13an additional 90 days may be granted upon written request by
14the representative of the agency. Not more than 2 extensions
15may be granted to any agency. No temporary permit shall be

19 (d) Upon issuance of the temporary certificate of authority
20as provided for in subsection (c) of this Section and at any
21time thereafter while the temporary certificate of authority is
22in effect, the Department may request in writing additional
23information from the agency regarding the loss of its

HB5331- 935 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1cause the Department to deny any extension of the temporary
2certificate of authority. While the temporary certificate of
3authority is in effect, the Department may disapprove the
4selection of a new licensee-in-charge by the agency if the
5person's license is not operative or the Department has good
6cause to believe that the person selected will not fully
7exercise the responsibilities of a licensee-in-charge. If the
8Department has disapproved the selection of a new
9licensee-in-charge and the temporary certificate of authority
10expires or is about to expire without the agency selecting
11another new licensee-in-charge, the Department shall grant an
12extension of the temporary certificate of authority for an
13additional 90 days, except as otherwise prohibited in

15be subject to and conducted in accordance with the following
16procedures:
17 (1) The sentencing court shall, upon petition by the
18Attorney General or State's Attorney at any time following
19sentencing, conduct a hearing to determine whether any property
20or property interest is subject to forfeiture under this
21subsection. At the forfeiture hearing the People shall have the
22burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the evidence,
23that the property or property interests are subject to such
24forfeiture.
25 (2) In any action brought by the People of the State of
26Illinois under this Section, in which any restraining order,

HB5331- 1069 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
2with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this
3subsection is sought, the circuit court presiding over the
4trial of the person charged with recipient fraud or vendor
5fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 of this Article shall
6first determine whether there is probable cause to believe that
7the person so charged has committed the offense of recipient
8fraud or vendor fraud and whether the property or interest is
9subject to forfeiture under this subsection. To make such a
10determination, prior to entering any such order, the court
11shall conduct a hearing without a jury, at which the People
12shall establish that there is (i) probable cause that the
13person so charged has committed the offense of recipient fraud
14or vendor fraud and (ii) probable cause that any property or
15interest may be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this
16subsection. Such hearing may be conducted simultaneously with a
17preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by
18information or complaint, or by motion of the People at any
19stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of
20probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing of
21an information charging the offense of recipient fraud or
22vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 or the return
23of an indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of
24recipient fraud or vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or
258A-3 of this Article as sufficient evidence of probable cause
26as provided in item (i) above. Upon such a finding, the circuit

HB5331- 1070 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1court shall enter such restraining order, injunction or
2prohibition, or shall take such other action in connection with
3any such property or other interest subject to forfeiture under
4this Act as is necessary to insure that such property is not
5removed from the jurisdiction of the court, concealed,
6destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the owner of that
7property or interest prior to a forfeiture hearing under this
8subsection. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file
9a certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
10prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
11of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
12located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
13prohibition shall affect the rights of any bonafide purchaser,
14mortgagee, judgement creditor or other lien holder arising
15prior to the date of such filing. The court may, at any time,
16upon verified petition by the defendant, conduct a hearing to
17determine whether all or portions of any such property or
18interest which the court previously determined to be subject to
19forfeiture or subject to any restraining order, injunction, or
20prohibition or other action, should be released. The court may
21in its discretion release such property to the defendant for
22good cause shown.
23 (3) Upon conviction of a person under this Article, the
24court shall authorize the Director of the Illinois Department
25of State Police to seize all property or other interest
26declared forfeited under this subsection upon such terms and

HB5331- 1071 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1conditions as the court shall deem proper.
2 (4) The Director of the Illinois Department of State Police
3is authorized to sell all property forfeited and seized
4pursuant to this subsection, unless such property is required
5by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the public. After the
6deduction of all requisite expenses of administration and sale,
7the court shall order the Director to distribute to the
8Illinois Department an amount from the proceeds of the
9forfeited property, or monies forfeited or seized, which will
10satisfy any unsatisfied court order of restitution entered
11pursuant to a conviction under this Article. If the proceeds
12are less than the amount necessary to satisfy the order of
13restitution, the Director shall distribute to the Illinois
14Department the entire amount of the remaining proceeds. The
15Director shall distribute any remaining proceeds of such sale,
16along with any monies forfeited or seized, in accordance with
17the following schedules:
18 (a) 25% shall be distributed to the unit of local
19government whose officers or employees conducted the
20investigation into recipient fraud or vendor fraud and caused
21the arrest or arrests and prosecution leading to the
22forfeiture. Amounts distributed to units of local government
23shall be used solely for enforcement matters relating to
24detection, investigation or prosecution of recipient fraud or
25vendor fraud as defined in Section 8A-2 or 8A-3 of this
26Article. Where the investigation, arrest or arrests leading to

1the prosecution and forfeiture is undertaken solely by the
2Illinois Department of State Police, the portion provided

10funds annually appropriated to the Illinois Department of State
11Police for medicaid fraud enforcement.
12 (b) 25% shall be distributed to the county in which the
13prosecution and petition for forfeiture resulting in the
14forfeiture was instituted, and deposited in a special fund in
15the county treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney
16for use solely in enforcement matters relating to detection,
17investigation or prosecution of recipient fraud or vendor
18fraud; however, if the Attorney General brought the prosecution
19resulting in the forfeiture, the portion provided hereunder
20shall be paid into the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Prevention
21Fund, to be used by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the
22Illinois Department of State Police for enforcement matters
23relating to detection, investigation or prosecution of
24recipient fraud or vendor fraud. Where the Attorney General and
25a State's Attorney have jointly participated in any portion of
26the proceedings, 12.5% shall be distributed to the county in

HB5331- 1073 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1which the prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was
2instituted, and used as specified herein, and 12.5% shall be

9 Sec. 7.3. (a) The Department shall be the sole agency
10responsible for receiving and investigating reports of child
11abuse or neglect made under this Act, including reports of
12adult resident abuse or neglect as defined in this Act, except

24designated for this purpose by the Department prior to July 1,

HB5331- 1131 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
11980.
2 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the
3Department shall adopt rules expressly allowing law
4enforcement personnel to investigate reports of suspected
5child abuse or neglect concurrently with the Department,
6without regard to whether the Department determines a report to
7be "indicated" or "unfounded" or deems a report to be
8"undetermined".
9 (c) By June 1, 2016, the Department shall adopt rules that
10address and set forth criteria and standards relevant to
11investigations of reports of abuse or neglect committed by any
12agency, as defined in Section 3 of this Act, or person working
13for an agency responsible for the welfare of a child or adult
14resident.
15(Source: P.A. 101-583, eff. 1-1-20.)
16 (325 ILCS 5/7.4) (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.4)
17 Sec. 7.4. (a) The Department shall be capable of receiving
18reports of suspected child abuse or neglect 24 hours a day, 7
19days a week. Whenever the Department receives a report alleging
20that a child is a truant as defined in Section 26-2a of the
21School Code, as now or hereafter amended, the Department shall
22notify the superintendent of the school district in which the
23child resides and the appropriate superintendent of the
24educational service region. The notification to the
25appropriate officials by the Department shall not be considered

HB5331- 1132 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1an allegation of abuse or neglect under this Act.
2 (a-5) The Department of Children and Family Services may
3implement a "differential response program" in accordance with
4criteria, standards, and procedures prescribed by rule. The
5program may provide that, upon receiving a report, the
6Department shall determine whether to conduct a family
7assessment or an investigation as appropriate to prevent or
8provide a remedy for child abuse or neglect.
9 For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "family assessment"
10means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of
11subsequent child maltreatment, and family strengths and needs
12that is applied to a child maltreatment report that does not
13allege substantial child endangerment. "Family assessment"
14does not include a determination as to whether child
15maltreatment occurred but does determine the need for services
16to address the safety of family members and the risk of
17subsequent maltreatment.
18 For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "investigation"
19means fact-gathering related to the current safety of a child
20and the risk of subsequent abuse or neglect that determines
21whether a report of suspected child abuse or neglect should be
22indicated or unfounded and whether child protective services
23are needed.
24 Under the "differential response program" implemented
25under this subsection (a-5), the Department:
26 (1) Shall conduct an investigation on reports

HB5331- 1133 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 involving substantial child abuse or neglect.
2 (2) Shall begin an immediate investigation if, at any
3 time when it is using a family assessment response, it
4 determines that there is reason to believe that substantial
5 child abuse or neglect or a serious threat to the child's
6 safety exists.
7 (3) May conduct a family assessment for reports that do
8 not allege substantial child endangerment. In determining
9 that a family assessment is appropriate, the Department may
10 consider issues, including, but not limited to, child
11 safety, parental cooperation, and the need for an immediate
12 response.
13 (4) Shall promulgate criteria, standards, and
14 procedures that shall be applied in making this
15 determination, taking into consideration the Child
16 Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol of the Department.
17 (5) May conduct a family assessment on a report that
18 was initially screened and assigned for an investigation.
19 In determining that a complete investigation is not
20required, the Department must document the reason for
21terminating the investigation and notify the local law
22enforcement agency or the Illinois Department of State Police
23if the local law enforcement agency or Illinois Department of
24State Police is conducting a joint investigation.
25 Once it is determined that a "family assessment" will be
26implemented, the case shall not be reported to the central

HB5331- 1134 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1register of abuse and neglect reports.
2 During a family assessment, the Department shall collect
3any available and relevant information to determine child
4safety, risk of subsequent abuse or neglect, and family
5strengths.
6 Information collected includes, but is not limited to, when
7relevant: information with regard to the person reporting the
8alleged abuse or neglect, including the nature of the
9reporter's relationship to the child and to the alleged
10offender, and the basis of the reporter's knowledge for the
11report; the child allegedly being abused or neglected; the
12alleged offender; the child's caretaker; and other collateral
13sources having relevant information related to the alleged
14abuse or neglect. Information relevant to the assessment must
15be asked for, and may include:
16 (A) The child's sex and age, prior reports of abuse or
17 neglect, information relating to developmental
18 functioning, credibility of the child's statement, and
19 whether the information provided under this paragraph (A)
20 is consistent with other information collected during the
21 course of the assessment or investigation.
22 (B) The alleged offender's age, a record check for
23 prior reports of abuse or neglect, and criminal charges and
24 convictions. The alleged offender may submit supporting
25 documentation relevant to the assessment.
26 (C) Collateral source information regarding the

HB5331- 1135 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 alleged abuse or neglect and care of the child. Collateral
2 information includes, when relevant: (i) a medical
3 examination of the child; (ii) prior medical records
4 relating to the alleged maltreatment or care of the child
5 maintained by any facility, clinic, or health care
6 professional, and an interview with the treating
7 professionals; and (iii) interviews with the child's
8 caretakers, including the child's parent, guardian, foster
9 parent, child care provider, teachers, counselors, family
10 members, relatives, and other persons who may have
11 knowledge regarding the alleged maltreatment and the care
12 of the child.
13 (D) Information on the existence of domestic abuse and
14 violence in the home of the child, and substance abuse.
15 Nothing in this subsection (a-5) precludes the Department
16from collecting other relevant information necessary to
17conduct the assessment or investigation. Nothing in this
18subsection (a-5) shall be construed to allow the name or
19identity of a reporter to be disclosed in violation of the
20protections afforded under Section 7.19 of this Act.
21 After conducting the family assessment, the Department
22shall determine whether services are needed to address the
23safety of the child and other family members and the risk of
24subsequent abuse or neglect.
25 Upon completion of the family assessment, if the Department
26concludes that no services shall be offered, then the case

HB5331- 1136 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1shall be closed. If the Department concludes that services
2shall be offered, the Department shall develop a family
3preservation plan and offer or refer services to the family.
4 At any time during a family assessment, if the Department
5believes there is any reason to stop the assessment and conduct
6an investigation based on the information discovered, the
7Department shall do so.
8 The procedures available to the Department in conducting
9investigations under this Act shall be followed as appropriate
10during a family assessment.
11 If the Department implements a differential response
12program authorized under this subsection (a-5), the Department
13shall arrange for an independent evaluation of the program for
14at least the first 3 years of implementation to determine
15whether it is meeting the goals in accordance with Section 2 of
16this Act.
17 The Department may adopt administrative rules necessary
18for the execution of this Section, in accordance with Section 4
19of the Children and Family Services Act.
20 The Department shall submit a report to the General
21Assembly by January 15, 2018 on the implementation progress and
22recommendations for additional needed legislative changes.
23 (b)(1) The following procedures shall be followed in the
24investigation of all reports of suspected abuse or neglect of a
25child, except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section.
26 (2) If, during a family assessment authorized by subsection

HB5331- 1137 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1(a-5) or an investigation, it appears that the immediate safety
2or well-being of a child is endangered, that the family may
3flee or the child disappear, or that the facts otherwise so
4warrant, the Child Protective Service Unit shall commence an
5investigation immediately, regardless of the time of day or
6night. All other investigations shall be commenced within 24
7hours of receipt of the report. Upon receipt of a report, the
8Child Protective Service Unit shall conduct a family assessment
9authorized by subsection (a-5) or begin an initial
10investigation and make an initial determination whether the
11report is a good faith indication of alleged child abuse or
12neglect.
13 (3) Based on an initial investigation, if the Unit
14determines the report is a good faith indication of alleged
15child abuse or neglect, then a formal investigation shall
16commence and, pursuant to Section 7.12 of this Act, may or may
17not result in an indicated report. The formal investigation
18shall include: direct contact with the subject or subjects of
19the report as soon as possible after the report is received; an
20evaluation of the environment of the child named in the report
21and any other children in the same environment; a determination
22of the risk to such children if they continue to remain in the
23existing environments, as well as a determination of the
24nature, extent and cause of any condition enumerated in such
25report; the name, age and condition of other children in the
26environment; and an evaluation as to whether there would be an

HB5331- 1138 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1immediate and urgent necessity to remove the child from the
2environment if appropriate family preservation services were
3provided. After seeing to the safety of the child or children,
4the Department shall forthwith notify the subjects of the
5report in writing, of the existence of the report and their
6rights existing under this Act in regard to amendment or
7expungement. To fulfill the requirements of this Section, the
8Child Protective Service Unit shall have the capability of
9providing or arranging for comprehensive emergency services to
10children and families at all times of the day or night.
11 (4) If (i) at the conclusion of the Unit's initial
12investigation of a report, the Unit determines the report to be
13a good faith indication of alleged child abuse or neglect that
14warrants a formal investigation by the Unit, the Department,
15any law enforcement agency or any other responsible agency and
16(ii) the person who is alleged to have caused the abuse or
17neglect is employed or otherwise engaged in an activity
18resulting in frequent contact with children and the alleged
19abuse or neglect are in the course of such employment or
20activity, then the Department shall, except in investigations
21where the Director determines that such notification would be
22detrimental to the Department's investigation, inform the
23appropriate supervisor or administrator of that employment or
24activity that the Unit has commenced a formal investigation
25pursuant to this Act, which may or may not result in an
26indicated report. The Department shall also notify the person

HB5331- 1139 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1being investigated, unless the Director determines that such
2notification would be detrimental to the Department's
3investigation.
4 (c) In an investigation of a report of suspected abuse or
5neglect of a child by a school employee at a school or on
6school grounds, the Department shall make reasonable efforts to
7follow the following procedures:
8 (1) Investigations involving teachers shall not, to
9 the extent possible, be conducted when the teacher is
10 scheduled to conduct classes. Investigations involving
11 other school employees shall be conducted so as to minimize
12 disruption of the school day. The school employee accused
13 of child abuse or neglect may have his superior, his
14 association or union representative and his attorney
15 present at any interview or meeting at which the teacher or
16 administrator is present. The accused school employee
17 shall be informed by a representative of the Department, at
18 any interview or meeting, of the accused school employee's
19 due process rights and of the steps in the investigation
20 process. These due process rights shall also include the
21 right of the school employee to present countervailing
22 evidence regarding the accusations. In an investigation in
23 which the alleged perpetrator of abuse or neglect is a
24 school employee, including, but not limited to, a school
25 teacher or administrator, and the recommendation is to
26 determine the report to be indicated, in addition to other

HB5331- 1140 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 procedures as set forth and defined in Department rules and
2 procedures, the employee's due process rights shall also
3 include: (i) the right to a copy of the investigation
4 summary; (ii) the right to review the specific allegations
5 which gave rise to the investigation; and (iii) the right

7 convened to provide the school employee with the
8 opportunity to present documentary evidence or other
9 information that supports his or her position and to
10 provide information before a final finding is entered.
11 (2) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
12 teacher or administrator does not involve allegations of
13 sexual abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child
14 Protective Service Unit shall make reasonable efforts to
15 conduct the initial investigation in coordination with the
16 employee's supervisor.
17 If the Unit determines that the report is a good faith
18 indication of potential child abuse or neglect, it shall
19 then commence a formal investigation under paragraph (3) of
20 subsection (b) of this Section.
21 (3) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
22 teacher or administrator involves an allegation of sexual
23 abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child Protective Unit
24 shall commence an investigation under paragraph (2) of
25 subsection (b) of this Section.

2a person employed by the school district, at the time the
3report was made, as required under Section 4 of this Act, the
4Child Protective Service Unit shall send a copy of its final
5finding report to the general superintendent of that school
6district.
7 (c-10) The Department may recommend that a school district
8remove a school employee who is the subject of an investigation
9from his or her employment position pending the outcome of the
10investigation; however, all employment decisions regarding
11school personnel shall be the sole responsibility of the school
12district or employer. The Department may not require a school
13district to remove a school employee from his or her employment
14position or limit the school employee's duties pending the
15outcome of an investigation.
16 (d) If the Department has contact with an employer, or with
17a religious institution or religious official having
18supervisory or hierarchical authority over a member of the
19clergy accused of the abuse of a child, in the course of its
20investigation, the Department shall notify the employer or the
21religious institution or religious official, in writing, when a
22report is unfounded so that any record of the investigation can
23be expunged from the employee's or member of the clergy's
24personnel or other records. The Department shall also notify
25the employee or the member of the clergy, in writing, that
26notification has been sent to the employer or to the

HB5331- 1142 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1appropriate religious institution or religious official
2informing the employer or religious institution or religious
3official that the Department's investigation has resulted in an
4unfounded report.
5 (d-1) Whenever a report alleges that a child was abused or
6neglected while receiving care in a hospital, including a
7freestanding psychiatric hospital licensed by the Department
8of Public Health, the Department shall send a copy of its final
9finding to the Director of Public Health and the Director of
10Healthcare and Family Services.

2 (b) An application for a salvage certificate shall be
3submitted to the Secretary of State in any of the following
4situations:
5 (1) When an insurance company makes a payment of
6 damages on a total loss claim for a vehicle, the insurance
7 company shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle and
8 the vehicle shall be considered to be salvage except that
9 ownership of (i) a vehicle that has incurred only hail
10 damage that does not affect the operational safety of the
11 vehicle or (ii) any vehicle 9 model years of age or older
12 may, by agreement between the registered owner and the
13 insurance company, be retained by the registered owner of
14 such vehicle. The insurance company shall promptly deliver
15 or mail within 20 days the certificate of title along with
16 proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a
17 salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
18 insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
19 insurer making payment of damages on a total loss claim for
20 the theft of a vehicle shall not be required to apply for a
21 salvage certificate unless the vehicle is recovered and has
22 incurred damage that initially would have caused the
23 vehicle to be declared a total loss by the insurer.
24 (1.1) When a vehicle of a self-insured company is to be
25 sold in the State of Illinois and has sustained damaged by
26 collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means so

HB5331- 1514 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 that the self-insured company determines the vehicle to be
2 a total loss, or if the cost of repairing the damage,
3 including labor, would be greater than 70% of its fair
4 market value without that damage, the vehicle shall be
5 considered salvage. The self-insured company shall
6 promptly deliver the certificate of title along with proper
7 application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a
8 salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
9 self-insured company. A self-insured company making
10 payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a
11 vehicle may exchange the salvage certificate for a
12 certificate of title if the vehicle is recovered without
13 damage. In such a situation, the self-insured shall fill
14 out and sign a form prescribed by the Secretary of State
15 which contains an affirmation under penalty of perjury that
16 the vehicle was recovered without damage and the Secretary
17 of State may, by rule, require photographs to be submitted.
18 (2) When a vehicle the ownership of which has been
19 transferred to any person through a certificate of purchase
20 from acquisition of the vehicle at an auction, other
21 dispositions as set forth in Sections 4-208 and 4-209 of
22 this Code, or a lien arising under Section 18a-501 of this
23 Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the option of the
24 purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle in such manner
25 shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20 days after the
26 acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate of purchase,

HB5331- 1515 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 the proper application and fee, and, if the vehicle is an
2 abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act,
3 a certification from a local law enforcement agency that
4 the vehicle was purchased or acquired at a public sale
5 under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act to the Secretary of
6 State and a salvage certificate or junking certificate
7 shall be issued in the name of that person. The salvage
8 certificate or junking certificate issued by the Secretary
9 of State under this Section shall be free of any lien that
10 existed against the vehicle prior to the time the vehicle
11 was acquired by the applicant under this Code.
12 (3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
13 lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the
14 repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the
15 lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire,
16 theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
17 repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
18 than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.
19 If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged
20 in excess of 33 1/3% of such fair market value, the
21 lienholder shall, before sale, transfer or assignment of
22 the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate,
23 and shall submit with such application the proper fee and
24 evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown
25 in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the
26 Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in the

HB5331- 1516 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 name of the lienholder making the application. In any case
2 wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in excess of
3 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder shall
4 comply with the requirements of subsections (f), (f-5), and
5 (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the affidavit of
6 repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder shall
7 also contain an affirmation under penalty of perjury that
8 the vehicle on the date of sale is not damaged in excess of
9 33 1/3% of its fair market value. If the facts required to
10 be shown in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied,
11 the Secretary of State shall issue a certificate of title
12 as set forth in Section 3-116 of this Code. The Secretary
13 of State may by rule or regulation require photographs to
14 be submitted.
15 (4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than 5
16 commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other
17 state or registered proportionately among several states
18 shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has
19 sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust,
20 corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing
21 such damage, including labor, would be greater than 33 1/3%
22 of the fair market value of the vehicle without such
23 damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell,
24 transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a
25 person within this State other than an insurance company
26 licensed to do business within this State, and the owner

HB5331- 1517 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed
2 sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 33
3 1/3% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before such
4 sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a
5 salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it
6 evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet vehicle
7 at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment is not
8 damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the
9 owner shall so state in a written affirmation on a form
10 prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or regulation.
11 The Secretary of State may by rule or regulation require
12 photographs to be submitted. Upon sale, transfer or
13 assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner shall mail the
14 affirmation to the Secretary of State.
15 (5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
16 point that rising water has reached over the door sill and
17 has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood
18 vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be salvage
19 only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that the cost
20 of repairing the damage, including labor, would be greater
21 than 33 1/3% of the fair market value of the vehicle
22 without that damage. The salvage certificate issued under
23 this Section shall indicate the word "flood", and the word
24 "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent
25 titles for the vehicle. A person who possesses or acquires
26 a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of

HB5331- 1518 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 its fair market value shall make application for title in
2 accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code, designating the
3 vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed by the Secretary
4 of State. The certificate of title issued shall indicate
5 the word "flood", and the word "flood" shall be
6 conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for the
7 vehicle.

9 vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an
10 application for title to a vehicle (other than an
11 application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she
12 knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained
13 damages in excess of 33 1/3% of the vehicle's fair market
14 value without that damage; provided, however, that any
15 application for a salvage certificate for a vehicle
16 recovered from theft and acquired from an insurance company
17 shall be made as required by paragraph (1) of this
18 subsection (b).
19 (c) Any person who without authority acquires, sells,
20exchanges, gives away, transfers or destroys or offers to
21acquire, sell, exchange, give away, transfer or destroy the
22certificate of title to any vehicle which is a junk or salvage
23vehicle shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony.
24 (d) Except as provided under subsection (a), any person who
25knowingly fails to surrender to the Secretary of State a
26certificate of title, salvage certificate, certificate of

HB5331- 1519 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1purchase or a similarly acceptable out-of-state document of
2ownership as required under the provisions of this Section is
3guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class
44 felony for a subsequent offense; except that a person
5licensed under this Code who violates paragraph (5) of
6subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a business offense
7and shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000
8for a first offense and is guilty of a Class 4 felony for a
9second or subsequent violation.
10 (e) Any vehicle which is salvage or junk may not be driven
11or operated on roads and highways within this State. A
12violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. A
13salvage vehicle displaying valid special plates issued under
14Section 3-601(b) of this Code, which is being driven to or from
15an inspection conducted under Section 3-308 of this Code, is
16exempt from the provisions of this subsection. A salvage
17vehicle for which a short term permit has been issued under
18Section 3-307 of this Code is exempt from the provisions of
19this subsection for the duration of the permit.

9 licensee without the recording of the vehicle
10 identification number or Secretary of State identification
11 number for such part or the transportation into the State
12 by the licensee or his agent or employee of such part or
13 parts shall constitute a failure to keep records.

17 The records required to be kept by this Section for
18 essential parts other than hulks, chassis, frames or cowls,
19 shall apply only to those essential parts which are 6 model
20 years of age or newer. In determining the model year of
21 such an essential part it may be presumed that the
22 identification number of the vehicle from which the
23 essential part came or the identification number affixed to
24 the essential part itself acquired by the licensee denotes
25 the model year of that essential part. This presumption,
26 however, shall not apply if the gross appearance of the

HB5331- 1567 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 essential part does not correspond to the year, make or
2 model of either the identification number of the vehicle
3 from which the essential part is alleged to have come or
4 the identification number which is affixed to the essential
5 part itself. To determine whether an essential part is 6
6 years of age or newer within this paragraph, the model year
7 of the essential part shall be subtracted from the calendar
8 year in which the essential part is acquired or disposed of
9 by the licensee. If the remainder is 6 or less, the record
10 of the acquisition or disposition of that essential part
11 shall be kept as required by this Section.
12 (F) The requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection (a)
13 of this Section shall not apply to the disposition of an
14 essential part other than a cowl which has been damaged or
15 altered to a state in which it can no longer be returned to
16 a usable condition and which is being sold or transferred
17 to a scrap processor or for delivery to a scrap processor.

19certificates are obtained shall be kept:

3 person;
4 (E) the certificate of title number or salvage
5 certificate number for the vehicle, if applicable;

13 dealer license number of that dealer;
14 (H) if the vehicle or any part of the vehicle is
15 dismantled for its parts to be disposed of in any way, or
16 if such parts are to be used by the licensee to materially
17 alter a vehicle, those essential parts shall be recorded

21kept:
22 (A) the year, make, model, style and color of the
23 vehicle;
24 (B) the vehicle's manufacturer's identification number
25 of the vehicle or, if applicable, the Secretary of State or
26 Illinois Department of State Police identification number;

1 (C) the date the vehicle was acquired;
2 (D) the name and address of the person from whom the
3 vehicle was acquired, and if that person is a dealer, the

8 the vehicle;
9 (G) the date of disposition of the vehicle;

22of the specific information required to be recorded concerning
23the acquisition or disposition of each vehicle as set forth in

20 licensee or his agent or employee shall not bring that
21 essential part into this State or cause it to be brought

25 employee shall, after inspecting the essential part as
26 required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section

HB5331- 1577 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 verify the identity of the person disposing of the
2 essential part by examining 2 sources of identification,
3 one of which shall be either a driver's license or state

3shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
4if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
5from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
6medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
7shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending
8suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the
9issues of:
10 (1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
11 believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
12 control of a school bus or any other vehicle owned or
13 operated by or for a public or private school, or a school
14 operated by a religious institution, when the vehicle is
15 being used over a regularly scheduled route for the
16 transportation of persons enrolled as students in grade 12
17 or below, in connection with any activity of the entities
18 listed, upon the public highways of the State and the
19 police officer had reason to believe that the person was in
20 violation of any provision of this Code or a similar
21 provision of a local ordinance; and
22 (2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
23 Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar
24 provision of a local ordinance; and
25 (3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
26 believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an

HB5331- 1600 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
2 actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
3 officer; and
4 (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
5 officer that the privilege to possess a school bus driver
6 permit would be canceled if the person refused to submit to
7 and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
8 complete the test or tests to determine the person's
9 alcohol concentration; and
10 (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
11 officer that the privileges to possess a school bus driver
12 permit would be canceled if the person submits to a
13 chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an
14 alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did
15 submit to and complete the test or tests that determined an
16 alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
17 (6) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
18 of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
19 of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
20 ceremony; and
21 (7) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
22 of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
23 of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
24 recommended dosage of medicine.
25 The Secretary of State may adopt administrative rules
26setting forth circumstances under which the holder of a school

HB5331- 1601 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1bus driver permit is not required to appear in person at the
2hearing.
3 Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the
4hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law enforcement
5officer's own official reports. Failure of the officer to
6answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a continuance if, in
7the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
8appropriate. At the conclusion of the hearing held under
9Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind,
10continue, or modify the school bus driver permit sanction.
11 (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
12accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
13admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
14results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
15under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
16testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
17under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
18may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
19revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this
20Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms
21the basis of that suspension or revocation.
22 (g) This Section applies only to drivers who have been
23issued a school bus driver permit in accordance with Section
246-106.1 of this Code at the time of the issuance of the Uniform
25Traffic Ticket for a violation of this Code or a similar
26provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is

HB5331- 1602 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1made under this Section.
2 (h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
3revoking, canceling, or denying any license, permit,
4registration, or certificate of title shall be subject to
5judicial review in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in
6the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the provisions of the
7Administrative Review Law and its rules are hereby adopted and
8shall apply to and govern every action for the judicial review
9of final acts or decisions of the Secretary of State under this

23 (a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
24proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
25in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings

HB5331- 1637 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
2alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
3compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood or
4breath at the time alleged, as determined by analysis of the
5person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily substance, shall
6be admissible. Where such test is made the following provisions
7shall apply:
8 1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine,
9 breath, or other bodily substance to be considered valid
10 under the provisions of this Section shall have been
11 performed according to standards promulgated by the
12 Illinois Department of State Police by a licensed
13 physician, registered nurse, trained phlebotomist,
14 licensed paramedic, or other individual possessing a valid
15 permit issued by that Department for this purpose. The
16 Director of the Illinois State Police is authorized to

20 subject to termination or revocation at the discretion of
21 that Department and to certify the accuracy of breath
22 testing equipment. The Illinois Department of State Police
23 shall prescribe regulations as necessary to implement this
24 Section.
25 2. When a person in this State shall submit to a blood
26 test at the request of a law enforcement officer under the

HB5331- 1638 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a physician
2 authorized to practice medicine, a licensed physician
3 assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse,
4 a registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, or licensed
5 paramedic, or other qualified person approved by the
6 Illinois Department of State Police may withdraw blood for
7 the purpose of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol
8 and drug content therein. This limitation shall not apply
9 to the taking of breath, other bodily substance, or urine
10 specimens.
11 When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
12 adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an
13 Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
14 withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
15 medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician
16 assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse,
17 a registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under the
18 direction of the physician, or licensed paramedic. The law
19 enforcement officer requesting the test shall take custody
20 of the blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed
21 by a laboratory certified by the Illinois Department of
22 State Police for that purpose.
23 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
24 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
25 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
26 chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at

HB5331- 1639 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or
2 inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
3 not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test
4 or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
5 officer.
6 4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
7 chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
8 officer, full information concerning the test or tests
9 shall be made available to the person or such person's
10 attorney.
11 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
12 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
13 per 210 liters of breath.
14 6. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration means either 5
15 nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per
16 milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of
17 delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other
18 bodily substance.
19 (a-5) Law enforcement officials may use validated roadside
20chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests approved by
21the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when
22conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or
23similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under
24the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i)
25validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to
26determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and

HB5331- 1640 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1(ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National
2Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided attention
3tasks that are intended to determine if a person is under the
4influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is to
5determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's
6capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore
7operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of these
8validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field
9sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be
10admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or
11proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related
12offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local
13ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2.
14Where a test is made the following provisions shall apply:
15 1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
16 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
17 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
18 chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
19 field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
20 of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
21 obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the
22 admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken
23 at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
24 2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to
25 validated roadside chemical tests or a standardized field
26 sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement

HB5331- 1641 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 officer, full information concerning the test or tests
2 shall be made available to the person or the person's
3 attorney.
4 3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
5 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
6 defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
7 proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
8 results of these validated roadside chemical tests or
9 standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person
10 may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence
11 that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform the
12 validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field
13 sobriety tests.
14 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
15proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
16by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
17vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
18of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
19as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
20other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
21presumptions:
22 1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
23 of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
24 not under the influence of alcohol.
25 2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
26 in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not

HB5331- 1642 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
2 under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
3 considered with other competent evidence in determining
4 whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
5 3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
6 of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
7 under the influence of alcohol.
8 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
9 be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
10 relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
11 person was under the influence of alcohol.
12 (b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
13proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
14by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
15vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
16drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
17thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole
18blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by
19analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall
20give rise to the following presumptions:
21 1. If there was a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
22 of 5 nanograms or more in whole blood or 10 nanograms or
23 more in an other bodily substance as defined in this
24 Section, it shall be presumed that the person was under the
25 influence of cannabis.
26 2. If there was at that time a tetrahydrocannabinol

HB5331- 1643 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or
2 less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such
3 facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
4 person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but
5 such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
6 in determining whether the person was under the influence
7 of cannabis.
8 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
9chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
10evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
11criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
12have been committed while the person under the influence of
13alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
14compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
15physical control of a motor vehicle.
16 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
17submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
18consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
19probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
20actual physical control of a person under the influence of
21alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
22compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
23personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall
24request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a
25law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
26her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for the

HB5331- 1644 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the
2presence of any other drug or combination of both.
3 This provision does not affect the applicability of or
4imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
511-501.1 of this Code.
6 3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes
7any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report
8completed by a law enforcement officer that requires immediate
9professional attention in either a doctor's office or a medical
10facility. A Type A injury includes severe bleeding wounds,
11distorted extremities, and injuries that require the injured
12party to be carried from the scene.
13 (d) If a person refuses validated roadside chemical tests
14or standardized field sobriety tests under Section 11-501.9 of
15this Code, evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil
16or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts committed
17while the person was driving or in actual physical control of a
18vehicle and alleged to have been impaired by the use of
19cannabis.
20 (e) Illinois Department of State Police compliance with the
21changes in this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly
22concerning testing of other bodily substances and
23tetrahydrocannabinol concentration by Illinois Department of
24State Police laboratories is subject to appropriation and until

15 (a) If a law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion
16to believe that a person is violating or has violated Section
1711-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
18officer, prior to an arrest, may request the person to provide
19a sample of his or her breath for a preliminary breath
20screening test using a portable device approved by the Illinois
21Department of State Police. The person may refuse the test. The
22results of this preliminary breath screening test may be used
23by the law enforcement officer for the purpose of assisting
24with the determination of whether to require a chemical test as
25authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2, and the

HB5331- 1647 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1appropriate type of test to request. Any chemical test
2authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 may be

10pilot program to establish the effectiveness of pupillometer
11technology (the measurement of the pupil's reaction to light)
12as a noninvasive technique to detect and measure possible
13impairment of any person who drives or is in actual physical
14control of a motor vehicle resulting from the suspected usage
15of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
16compounds or any combination thereof. This technology shall
17also be used to detect fatigue levels of the operator of a
18Commercial Motor Vehicle as defined in Section 6-500(6),
19pursuant to Section 18b-105 (Part 395-Hours of Service of
20Drivers) of the Illinois Vehicle Code. A State Police officer

15shall be considered a "gambling device", and shall be subject
16to seizure, confiscation and destruction by the Illinois

18authority, within whose jurisdiction the same may be found. As
19used in this Section, a "gambling device" includes any slot
20machine, and includes any machine or device constructed for the
21reception of money or other thing of value and so constructed
22as to return, or to cause someone to return, on chance to the

24property. With the exception of any device designed for

HB5331- 1896 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1gambling which is incapable of lawful use, no gambling device
2shall be forfeited or destroyed unless an individual with a
3property interest in said device knows of the unlawful use of
4the device.
5 (b) Every gambling device shall be seized and forfeited to
6the county wherein such seizure occurs. Any money or other
7thing of value integrally related to acts of gambling shall be
8seized and forfeited to the county wherein such seizure occurs.
9 (c) If, within 60 days after any seizure pursuant to
10subparagraph (b) of this Section, a person having any property
11interest in the seized property is charged with an offense, the
12court which renders judgment upon such charge shall, within 30
13days after such judgment, conduct a forfeiture hearing to
14determine whether such property was a gambling device at the
15time of seizure. Such hearing shall be commenced by a written
16petition by the State, including material allegations of fact,
17the name and address of every person determined by the State to
18have any property interest in the seized property, a
19representation that written notice of the date, time and place
20of such hearing has been mailed to every such person by
21certified mail at least 10 days before such date, and a request
22for forfeiture. Every such person may appear as a party and
23present evidence at such hearing. The quantum of proof required
24shall be a preponderance of the evidence, and the burden of
25proof shall be on the State. If the court determines that the
26seized property was a gambling device at the time of seizure,

HB5331- 1897 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

6wherein such seizure occurred; money and other things of value
7shall be received by the State's Attorney and, upon
8liquidation, shall be deposited in the general fund of the

10that a defendant raises the defense that the seized slot
11machine is an antique slot machine described in subparagraph
12(b) (7) of Section 28-1 of this Code and therefore he is exempt
13from the charge of a gambling activity participant, the seized
14antique slot machine shall not be destroyed or otherwise
15altered until a final determination is made by the Court as to
16whether it is such an antique slot machine. Upon a final
17determination by the Court of this question in favor of the
18defendant, such slot machine shall be immediately returned to
19the defendant. Such order of forfeiture and disposition shall,
20for the purposes of appeal, be a final order and judgment in a
21civil proceeding.
22 (d) If a seizure pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this
23Section is not followed by a charge pursuant to subparagraph
24(c) of this Section, or if the prosecution of such charge is
25permanently terminated or indefinitely discontinued without
26any judgment of conviction or acquittal (1) the State's

24 (a) The person for whom bail has been set shall execute the
25bail bond and deposit with the clerk of the court before which

HB5331- 2018 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the proceeding is pending a sum of money equal to 10% of the
2bail, but in no event shall such deposit be less than $25. The
3clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a
4person other than the accused who has provided the money for
5the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an
6accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a
7person other than the accused has provided the money for the
8posting of bail. The form shall also include a written notice
9to such person who has provided the defendant with the money
10for the posting of bail indicating that the bail may be used to
11pay costs, attorney's fees, fines, or other purposes authorized
12by the court and if the defendant fails to comply with the
13conditions of the bail bond, the court shall enter an order
14declaring the bail to be forfeited. The written notice must be:
15(1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in bold type
16or underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2 points larger
17than the surrounding type. When a person for whom bail has been
18set is charged with an offense under the Illinois Controlled
19Substances Act or the Methamphetamine Control and Community
20Protection Act which is a Class X felony, or making a terrorist
21threat in violation of Section 29D-20 of the Criminal Code of
221961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or an attempt to commit the
23offense of making a terrorist threat, the court may require the
24defendant to deposit a sum equal to 100% of the bail. Where any
25person is charged with a forcible felony while free on bail and
26is the subject of proceedings under Section 109-3 of this Code

HB5331- 2019 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the judge conducting the preliminary examination may also
2conduct a hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to
3the provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or
4revoke the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.
5 (b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized by
6law, the person shall be released from custody subject to the
7conditions of the bail bond.
8 (c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is
9thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
10jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
11in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of
12this Code.
13 (d) After conviction the court may order that the original
14bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce
15bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
16 (e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing
17or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the
18reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
19sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
20amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal
21subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
22 (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
23performed and the accused has been discharged from all
24obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to
25the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment
26executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the

HB5331- 2020 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been deposited
2and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount
3deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by
4the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding
5the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
6more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as
7bail bond costs exceed $100. Bail bond deposited by or on
8behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's
9discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same
10defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court
11costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of
12record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more, the
13court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf of a
14defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial
15obligations of that same defendant in a different case until
16the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and
17attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been
18deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are
19satisfied. In counties with a population of less than
203,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or
21on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy
22financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
23case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
24in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
25 At the request of the defendant the court may order such
2690% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is

HB5331- 2021 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
2defendant's attorney of record.
3 (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
4the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
5order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
6of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
7last known address. If the accused does not appear and
8surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
9the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
10court that appearance and surrender by the accused is
11impossible and without his fault the court shall enter judgment
12for the State if the charge for which the bond was given was a
13felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was quasi-criminal or
14traffic, judgment for the political subdivision of the State
15which prosecuted the case, against the accused for the amount
16of the bail and costs of the court proceedings; however, in
17counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, instead of
18the court entering a judgment for the full amount of the bond
19the court may, in its discretion, enter judgment for the cash
20deposit on the bond, less costs, retain the deposit for further
21disposition or, if a cash bond was posted for failure to appear
22in a matter involving enforcement of child support or
23maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on the bond, less
24outstanding costs, may be awarded to the person or entity to
25whom the child support or maintenance is due. The deposit made
26in accordance with paragraph (a) shall be applied to the

HB5331- 2022 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1payment of costs. If judgment is entered and any amount of such
2deposit remains after the payment of costs it shall be applied
3to payment of the judgment and transferred to the treasury of
4the municipal corporation wherein the bond was taken if the
5offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a political
6subdivision of this State, or to the treasury of the county
7wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a violation of
8any penal statute of this State. The balance of the judgment
9may be enforced and collected in the same manner as a judgment
10entered in a civil action.
11 (h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either
12is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
13been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
14deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
15to the payment of the judgment.
16 (i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged
17violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of
182012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish
19and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
20comparable offense of a unit of local government as specified
21in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does not appear
22in court on the date set for appearance or any date to which
23the case may be continued and the court issues an arrest
24warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure to
25appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by the
26court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall be

HB5331- 2023 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall be
2a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the court.
3The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the accused is
4required to deposit for the offense for which the accused has
5been charged and may not be used for the payment of court costs
6or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the court shall
7remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting agency who
8brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the Illinois
9Department of State Police is the arresting agency, $70 of the
10fee assessed shall be remitted by the clerk of the court to the
11State Treasurer within one month after receipt for deposit into
12the State Police Operations Assistance Fund. The clerk of the
13court shall remit $5 of the fee assessed to the Circuit Court
14Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund as provided in Section
1527.3d of the Clerks of Courts Act.

19misdemeanor crimes are crimes of domestic violence for purposes
20of federal law.

22Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the
23Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State
24may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after arraignment,
25for the purpose of notification to the Illinois Department of

HB5331- 2024 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve
2on the defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that
3conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the
4prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the relationship
5between the defendant and the alleged victim and the nature of
6the alleged offense.
7 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person alleged
8to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the nature of
9the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
10921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
11charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of
12physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
13set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include
14notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the
15allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation
16is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
17reported to the Illinois Department of State Police Firearm
18Owner's Identification Card Office.
19 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
20(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
21orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
22offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
23U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
24922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section
25112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
26U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,

HB5331- 2025 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
2shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
3the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
4922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay
5evidence submitted by either party provided that it is relevant
6to the determination of the allegation. Facts previously proven
7at trial or elicited at the time of entry of a plea of guilty
8shall be deemed established beyond a reasonable doubt and shall
9not be relitigated. At the conclusion of the hearing, or upon a
10stipulation or admission, as applicable, the court shall make a
11specific written determination with respect to the allegation.

7remedies.
8 (a) (Blank).
9 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
10subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
11shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
12available to petitioner.
13 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
14 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
15 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
16 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
17 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
18 prohibited.
19 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
20 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
21 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
22 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
23 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
24 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
25 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be

HB5331- 2027 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
2 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
3 Marriage Act.
4 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
5 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
6 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
7 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
8 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
9 person or entity other than the opposing party that
10 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
11 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
12 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
13 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
14 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
15 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
16 hardships to respondent and any minor child or
17 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
18 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
19 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
20 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
21 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
22 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
23 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
24 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
25 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
26 the accessibility of the residence or household.

HB5331- 2028 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
2 have a right to occupancy.
3 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
4 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
5 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
6 that the hardships to respondent substantially
7 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
8 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
9 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
10 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
11 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
12 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
13 household.
14 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
15 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
16 protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or
17 prohibit respondent from entering or remaining present at
18 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
19 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
20 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
21 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
22 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
23 right to enter the premises.
24 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
25 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
26 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the

HB5331- 2029 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
2 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
3 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
4 items of clothing and personal adornment used
5 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
6 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
7 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
8 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party
9 or law enforcement officer.
10 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
11 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
12 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
13 domestic violence order of protection and providing
14 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
15 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
16 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
17 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
18 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
19 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
20 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
21 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
22 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
23 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
24 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
25 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
26 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a

HB5331- 2030 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 change of placement or change of program, as determined
2 by the school district or private or non-public school,
3 or place restrictions on the respondent's movements
4 within the school attended by the petitioner. The
5 respondent bears the burden of proving by a
6 preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change
7 of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
8 not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
9 production with respect to the expense, difficulty,
10 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
11 transfer of the respondent to another school. A
12 transfer, change of placement, or change of program is
13 not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground
14 that the respondent does not agree with the school
15 district's or private or non-public school's transfer,
16 change of placement, or change of program or solely on
17 the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
18 consent or otherwise does not take an action required
19 to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or
20 change of program. When a court orders a respondent to
21 stay away from the public, private, or non-public
22 school attended by the petitioner and the respondent
23 requests a transfer to another attendance center
24 within the respondent's school district or private or
25 non-public school, the school district or private or
26 non-public school shall have sole discretion to

HB5331- 2031 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 determine the attendance center to which the
2 respondent is transferred. If the court order results
3 in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
4 attendance center, a change in the respondent's
5 placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the
6 parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
7 respondent is responsible for transportation and other
8 costs associated with the transfer or change.
9 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
10 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
11 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
12 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
13 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
14 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
15 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16 transportation and other costs associated with the
17 change of school by the respondent.
18 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
19 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
20 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
21 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
22 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
23 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
24 abusers, or any other guidance service the court deems
25 appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
26 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

HB5331- 2032 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3 all recommended treatment.
4 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13 in loco parentis.
14 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
15 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
16 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
17 respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.
18 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
19 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
20 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
21 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
22 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
23 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
24 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
25 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
26 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall

HB5331- 2033 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
2 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
3 would not be in the child's best interest.
4 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
5 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
6 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
7 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
8 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
9 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
10 is likely to do any of the following:
11 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
12 parenting time;
13 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
14 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
15 household members;
16 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
17 child; or
18 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
19 best interests of the minor child.
20 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
21 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
22 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
23 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
24 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
25 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
26 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting

HB5331- 2034 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
2 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
3 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
4 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
5 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
6 a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect any
7 member of petitioner's family or household from future
8 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
9 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
10 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
11 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
12 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
13 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
14 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
15 acknowledging accountability to the court.
16 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
17 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
18 concealing the child within the State.
19 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
20 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
21 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
22 child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
23 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
24 child or the respondent.
25 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
26 exclusive possession of personal property and, if

HB5331- 2035 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
2 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
3 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
4 property; or
5 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
6 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
7 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
8 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
9 petitioner.
10 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
11 is that it is marital property, the court may award
12 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
13 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
14 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
15 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
16 hereafter amended.
17 No order under this provision shall affect title to
18 property.
19 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
20 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
21 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
22 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
23 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
24 property; or
25 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the

1 granting this remedy.
2 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property

23 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
24 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
25 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
26 the extent that such reimbursement would be

HB5331- 2038 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
2 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.

1 enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately
2 mail the card to the Illinois Department of State
3 Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office for
4 safekeeping. The period of safekeeping shall be for the
5 duration of the domestic violence order of protection.
6 The firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's
7 Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at the
8 respondent's request be returned to the respondent at
9 expiration of the domestic violence order of
10 protection.
11 (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
12 in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
13 shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
14 the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
15 be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive

18 duration of the domestic violence order of protection.
19 (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
20 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
21 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent

26 any other harm that one of the remedies listed in

HB5331- 2041 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed
2 to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish
3 that the harm is an irreparable injury.

6 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
7 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone

7 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
8 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
9 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
10 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
11 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
12 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
13 following applies:
14 (i) The account holder named in the order has
15 terminated the account.
16 (ii) A difference in network technology would
17 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
18 a network if the transfer occurs.
19 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
20 other limitation on network or service provision
21 to the petitioner.
22 (iv) Another technological or operational
23 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
24 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
25 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
26 responsibility for and right to the use of any

HB5331- 2043 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
2 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
3 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
4 mobile device associated with the number.
5 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
6 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
7 requirements for establishing an account or
8 transferring a number, including requiring the
9 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
10 financial information, and customer preferences.
11 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
12 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
13 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
14 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
15 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
16 services to residential customers shall provide to the
17 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
18 agent for service of orders entered under this
19 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
20 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
21 Commission within 30 days of such change.
22 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
23 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
24 each wireless telephone service provider on the
25 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
26 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit

HB5331- 2044 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
2 provided and displayed.
3 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
4 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
5 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
6 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
7 following:
8 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
9 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
10 petitioner or any family or household member,
11 including the concealment of his or her location in
12 order to evade service of process or notice, and the
13 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
14 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
15 household; and
16 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
17 or neglected or improperly relocated from the
18 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
19 or improperly separated from the child's primary
20 caretaker.
21 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
22 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
23 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
24 limited to, the following:
25 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
26 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of

HB5331- 2045 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
2 dependent adult in the party's care;
3 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
4 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
5 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
6 care, to family, school, church, and community.
7 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
8 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
9 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
10 a minimum set forth the following:
11 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
12 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
13 this subsection (c).
14 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
15 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
16 or continued abuse.
17 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
18 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
19 other alleged abused persons.
20 (4) (Blank).
21 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
22 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
23 attach to a putative father until a father and child
24 relationship has been established under the Illinois
25 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
26 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital

HB5331- 2046 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
2 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, the
3 Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
4 administrative, or other act of another state or territory,
5 any other statute of this State, or by any foreign nation
6 establishing the father and child relationship, any other
7 proceeding substantially in conformity with the federal
8 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
9 Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared
10 in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
11 under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
12 father and child relationship. Absent such an
13 adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
14 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
15 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
16 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
17 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
18 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
19the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
20remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
21subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
22balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
23include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
24in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
25hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
26shall be an official record or in writing.

HB5331- 2047 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
2based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
3 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
4 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
5 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
6 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
7 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
8 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
9 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
10 of 2012;
11 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
12 of another;
13 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
14 further abuse by respondent;
15 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or household
16 to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
17 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
18 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
19 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
20 or household members.

25 Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.

HB5331- 2048 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
2Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
3addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
4petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or more
5of the following:
6 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
7 or committing stalking;
8 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
9 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
10 court;
11 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
12 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
13 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
14 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
15 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
16 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
17 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
18 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
19 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
20 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
21 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
22 firearms; and
23 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
24 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
25 specifically named by the court.
26 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same

HB5331- 2049 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
2school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
3providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
4continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
5petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
6petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
7availability of a transfer of the respondent to another school,
8a change of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
9the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would
10be caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school,
11and any other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
12that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
13non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
14petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
15placement or program, as determined by the school district or
16private or non-public school, or place restrictions on the
17respondent's movements within the school attended by the
18petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of proving by a
19preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change of
20placement, or change of program of the respondent is not
21available. The respondent also bears the burden of production
22with respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
23disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
24to another school. A transfer, change of placement, or change
25of program is not unavailable to the respondent solely on the
26ground that the respondent does not agree with the school

HB5331- 2050 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1district's or private or non-public school's transfer, change
2of placement, or change of program or solely on the ground that
3the respondent fails or refuses to consent to or otherwise does
4not take an action required to effectuate a transfer, change of
5placement, or change of program. When a court orders a
6respondent to stay away from the public, private, or non-public
7school attended by the petitioner and the respondent requests a
8transfer to another attendance center within the respondent's
9school district or private or non-public school, the school
10district or private or non-public school shall have sole
11discretion to determine the attendance center to which the
12respondent is transferred. If the court order results in a
13transfer of the minor respondent to another attendance center,
14a change in the respondent's placement, or a change of the
15respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
16custodian of the respondent is responsible for transportation
17and other costs associated with the transfer or change.
18 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
19custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
20refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
21respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
22transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
23guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
24for transportation and other costs associated with the change
25of school by the respondent.
26 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private

HB5331- 2051 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
2criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
3non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
4 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
5custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
6for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
7this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
8of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
9directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
10conduct.
11 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
12 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
13respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
14Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
15confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
16Card and immediately return the card to the Illinois Department
17of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office.

20 Sec. 112A-17.5. Ex parte protective orders.
21 (a) The petitioner may request expedited consideration of
22the petition for an ex parte protective order. The court shall
23consider the request on an expedited basis without requiring
24the respondent's presence or requiring notice to the
25respondent.

HB5331- 2052 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (b) Issuance of ex parte protective orders in cases
2involving domestic violence. An ex parte domestic violence
3order of protection shall be issued if petitioner satisfies the
4requirements of this subsection (b) for one or more of the
5requested remedies. For each remedy requested, petitioner
6shall establish that:
7 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
8 this Code;
9 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
10 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
11 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless
12 of prior service of process or notice upon the respondent,
13 because:
14 (A) for the remedy of prohibition of abuse
15 described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section
16 112A-14 of this Code; stay away order and additional
17 prohibitions described in paragraph (3) of subsection
18 (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; removal or
19 concealment of minor child described in paragraph (8)
20 of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
21 order to appear described in paragraph (9) of
22 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
23 physical care and possession of the minor child
24 described in paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of Section
25 112A-14 of this Code; protection of property described
26 in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14

HB5331- 2053 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 of this Code; prohibition of entry described in
2 paragraph (14) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
3 this Code; prohibition of firearm possession described
4 in paragraph (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section
5 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of access to records
6 described in paragraph (15) of subsection (b) of
7 Section 112A-14 of this Code; injunctive relief
8 described in paragraph (16) of subsection (b) of
9 Section 112A-14 of this Code; and telephone services
10 described in paragraph (18) of subsection (b) of
11 Section 112A-14 of this Code, the harm which that
12 remedy is intended to prevent would be likely to occur
13 if the respondent were given any prior notice, or
14 greater notice than was actually given, of the
15 petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;
16 (B) for the remedy of grant of exclusive possession
17 of residence described in paragraph (2) of subsection
18 (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; the immediate
19 danger of further abuse of the petitioner by the
20 respondent, if the petitioner chooses or had chosen to
21 remain in the residence or household while the
22 respondent was given any prior notice or greater notice
23 than was actually given of the petitioner's efforts to
24 obtain judicial relief outweighs the hardships to the
25 respondent of an emergency order granting the
26 petitioner exclusive possession of the residence or

HB5331- 2054 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 household; and the remedy shall not be denied because
2 the petitioner has or could obtain temporary shelter
3 elsewhere while prior notice is given to the
4 respondent, unless the hardship to the respondent from
5 exclusion from the home substantially outweigh the
6 hardship to the petitioner; or
7 (C) for the remedy of possession of personal
8 property described in paragraph (10) of subsection (b)
9 of Section 112A-14 of this Code; improper disposition
10 of the personal property would be likely to occur if
11 the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
12 notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
13 efforts to obtain judicial relief or the petitioner has
14 an immediate and pressing need for the possession of
15 that property.
16 An ex parte domestic violence order of protection may not
17include the counseling, custody, or payment of support or
18monetary compensation remedies provided by paragraphs (4),
19(12), (13), and (16) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
20this Code.
21 (c) Issuance of ex parte civil no contact order in cases
22involving sexual offenses. An ex parte civil no contact order
23shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that:
24 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
25 this Code;
26 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section

HB5331- 2055 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
2 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless
3 of prior service of process or of notice upon the
4 respondent, because the harm which that remedy is intended
5 to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were
6 given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually
7 given, of the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial
8 relief.
9 The court may order any of the remedies under Section
10112A-14.5 of this Code.
11 (d) Issuance of ex parte stalking no contact order in cases
12involving stalking offenses. An ex parte stalking no contact
13order shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that:
14 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
15 this Code;
16 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
17 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
18 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless
19 of prior service of process or of notice upon the
20 respondent, because the harm which that remedy is intended
21 to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were
22 given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually
23 given, of the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial
24 relief.
25 The court may order any of the remedies under Section
26112A-14.7 of this Code.

1 (e) Issuance of ex parte protective orders on court
2holidays and evenings.
3 When the court is unavailable at the close of business, the
4petitioner may file a petition for an ex parte protective order
5before any available circuit judge or associate judge who may
6grant relief under this Article. If the judge finds that
7petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites in subsection (b),
8(c), or (d) of this Section, the judge shall issue an ex parte
9protective order.
10 The chief judge of the circuit court may designate for each
11county in the circuit at least one judge to be reasonably
12available to issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or
13otherwise, an ex parte protective order at all times, whether
14or not the court is in session.
15 The judge who issued the order under this Section shall
16promptly communicate or convey the order to the sheriff to
17facilitate the entry of the order into the Law Enforcement
18Agencies Data System by the Illinois Department of State Police
19under Section 112A-28 of this Code. Any order issued under this
20Section and any documentation in support of it shall be
21certified on the next court day to the appropriate court. The
22clerk of that court shall immediately assign a case number,
23file the petition, order, and other documents with the court
24and enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for
25service under subsection (f) of this Section. Failure to comply
26with the requirements of this subsection (e) shall not affect

HB5331- 2057 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the validity of the order.
2 (f) Service of ex parte protective order on respondent.
3 (1) If an ex parte protective order is entered at the
4 time a summons or arrest warrant is issued for the criminal
5 charge, the petition for the protective order, any
6 supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte protective
7 order that has been issued shall be served with the summons
8 or arrest warrant. The enforcement of a protective order
9 under Section 112A-23 of this Code shall not be affected by
10 the lack of service or delivery, provided the requirements
11 of subsection (a) of Section 112A-23 of this Code are
12 otherwise met.
13 (2) If an ex parte protective order is entered after a
14 summons or arrest warrant is issued and before the
15 respondent makes an initial appearance in the criminal
16 case, the summons shall be in the form prescribed by
17 subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101, except that it
18 shall require respondent to answer or appear within 7 days
19 and shall be accompanied by the petition for the protective
20 order, any supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte
21 protective order that has been issued.
22 (3) If an ex parte protective order is entered after
23 the respondent has been served notice of a petition for a
24 final protective order and the respondent has requested a
25 continuance to respond to the petition, the ex parte
26 protective order shall be served: (A) in open court if the

HB5331- 2058 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 respondent is present at the proceeding at which the order
2 was entered; or (B) by summons in the form prescribed by
3 subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101.
4 (4) No fee shall be charged for service of summons.
5 (5) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or other
6 law enforcement officer at the earliest time and shall take
7 precedence over other summonses except those of a similar
8 emergency nature. Special process servers may be appointed
9 at any time, and their designation shall not affect the
10 responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other
11 official process servers. In a county with a population
12 over 3,000,000, a special process server may not be
13 appointed if an ex parte protective order grants the
14 surrender of a child, the surrender of a firearm or Firearm
15 Owner's Identification Card, or the exclusive possession
16 of a shared residence. Process may be served in court.
17 (g) Upon 7 days' notice to the petitioner, or a shorter
18notice period as the court may prescribe, a respondent subject
19to an ex parte protective order may appear and petition the
20court to re-hear the petition. Any petition to re-hear shall be
21verified and shall allege the following:
22 (1) that respondent did not receive prior notice of the
23 initial hearing in which the ex parte protective order was
24 entered under Section 112A-17.5 of this Code; and
25 (2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the
26 order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of

HB5331- 2059 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 its remedies was not authorized under this Article.
2 The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the
3evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at a
4hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at the
5hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense by a
6preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to vacate
7the protective order or modify the remedies.
8 (h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner
9exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of
10respondent seeks to re-open or vacate that grant, the court
11shall set a date for hearing within 14 days on all issues
12relating to exclusive possession. Under no circumstances shall
13a court continue a hearing concerning exclusive possession
14beyond the 14th day except by agreement of the petitioner and
15the respondent. Other issues raised by the pleadings may be
16consolidated for the hearing if the petitioner, the respondent,
17and the court do not object.
18 (i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte
19order shall remain in effect until the court considers the
20request for a final protective order after notice has been
21served on the respondent or a default final protective order is
22entered, whichever occurs first. If a court date is scheduled
23for the issuance of a default protective order and the
24petitioner fails to personally appear or appear through counsel
25or the prosecuting attorney, the petition shall be dismissed
26and the ex parte order terminated.

3 Sec. 112A-20. Duration and extension of final protective
4orders.
5 (a) (Blank).
6 (b) A final protective order shall remain in effect as
7follows:
8 (1) if entered during pre-trial release, until
9 disposition, withdrawal, or dismissal of the underlying
10 charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
11 independent cause of action, the order's duration may be
12 for a fixed period of time not to exceed 2 years;
13 (2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture
14 warrant, until final disposition or an additional period of
15 time not exceeding 2 years; no domestic violence order of
16 protection, however, shall be terminated by a dismissal
17 that is accompanied by the issuance of a bond forfeiture
18 warrant;
19 (3) until 2 years after the expiration of any
20 supervision, conditional discharge, probation, periodic

22 supervised release for domestic violence orders of
23 protection and civil no contact orders; or
24 (4) until 2 years after the date set by the court for
25 expiration of any sentence of imprisonment and subsequent

HB5331- 2061 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

2 for domestic violence orders of protection and civil no
3 contact orders; and
4 (5) permanent for a stalking no contact order if a
5 judgment of conviction for stalking is entered.
6 (c) Computation of time. The duration of a domestic
7violence order of protection shall not be reduced by the
8duration of any prior domestic violence order of protection.
9 (d) Law enforcement records. When a protective order
10expires upon the occurrence of a specified event, rather than
11upon a specified date as provided in subsection (b), no
12expiration date shall be entered in Illinois Department of
13State Police records. To remove the protective order from those
14records, either the petitioner or the respondent shall request
15the clerk of the court to file a certified copy of an order
16stating that the specified event has occurred or that the
17protective order has been vacated or modified with the sheriff,
18and the sheriff shall direct that law enforcement records shall
19be promptly corrected in accordance with the filed order.
20 (e) Extension of Orders. Any domestic violence order of
21protection or civil no contact order that expires 2 years after
22the expiration of the defendant's sentence under paragraph (2),
23(3), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-20 of this
24Article may be extended one or more times, as required. The
25petitioner, petitioner's counsel, or the State's Attorney on
26the petitioner's behalf shall file the motion for an extension

HB5331- 2062 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1of the final protective order in the criminal case and serve
2the motion in accordance with Supreme Court Rules 11 and 12.

4division for consideration under subsection (e) of Section 220
5of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, subsection (c)
6of Section 216 of the Civil No Contact Order Act, or subsection
7(c) of Section 105 of the Stalking No Contact Order as
8appropriate.
9 (f) Termination date. Any final protective order which
10would expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the
11close of the next court business day.
12 (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
13suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing a
14protective order undermines the purposes of this Article. This
15Section shall not be construed as encouraging that practice.

1 Sec. 116-3. Motion for fingerprint, Integrated Ballistic
2Identification System, or forensic testing not available at
3trial or guilty plea regarding actual innocence.
4 (a) A defendant may make a motion before the trial court
5that entered the judgment of conviction in his or her case for
6the performance of fingerprint, Integrated Ballistic
7Identification System, or forensic DNA testing, including
8comparison analysis of genetic marker groupings of the evidence
9collected by criminal justice agencies pursuant to the alleged
10offense, to those of the defendant, to those of other forensic
11evidence, and to those maintained under subsection (f) of
12Section 5-4-3 of the Unified Code of Corrections, on evidence
13that was secured in relation to the trial or guilty plea which
14resulted in his or her conviction, and:
15 (1) was not subject to the testing which is now
16 requested at the time of trial; or
17 (2) although previously subjected to testing, can be
18 subjected to additional testing utilizing a method that was
19 not scientifically available at the time of trial that
20 provides a reasonable likelihood of more probative
21 results.
22 Reasonable notice of the motion shall be served upon the
23State.
24 (b) The defendant must present a prima facie case that:
25 (1) identity was the issue in the trial or guilty plea
26 which resulted in his or her conviction; and

1 (2) the evidence to be tested has been subject to a
2 chain of custody sufficient to establish that it has not
3 been substituted, tampered with, replaced, or altered in
4 any material aspect.
5 (c) The trial court shall allow the testing under
6reasonable conditions designed to protect the State's
7interests in the integrity of the evidence and the testing
8process upon a determination that:
9 (1) the result of the testing has the scientific
10 potential to produce new, noncumulative evidence (i)
11 materially relevant to the defendant's assertion of actual
12 innocence when the defendant's conviction was the result of
13 a trial, even though the results may not completely
14 exonerate the defendant, or (ii) that would raise a
15 reasonable probability that the defendant would have been
16 acquitted if the results of the evidence to be tested had
17 been available prior to the defendant's guilty plea and the
18 petitioner had proceeded to trial instead of pleading
19 guilty, even though the results may not completely
20 exonerate the defendant; and
21 (2) the testing requested employs a scientific method
22 generally accepted within the relevant scientific
23 community.
24 (d) If evidence previously tested pursuant to this Section
25reveals an unknown fingerprint from the crime scene that does

10 Section 1030. The Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Act is
11amended by changing Sections 5 and 5.2 as follows:
12 (725 ILCS 175/5) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1655)
13 Sec. 5. (a) A person who commits the offense of narcotics
14racketeering shall:
15 (1) be guilty of a Class 1 felony; and
16 (2) be subject to a fine of up to $250,000.
17 A person who commits the offense of narcotics racketeering
18or who violates Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
19shall forfeit to the State of Illinois: (A) any profits or
20proceeds and any property or property interest he has acquired
21or maintained in violation of this Act or Section 3 of the Drug
22Paraphernalia Control Act or has used to facilitate a violation
23of this Act that the court determines, after a forfeiture
24hearing, under subsection (b) of this Section to have been

HB5331- 2102 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1acquired or maintained as a result of narcotics racketeering or
2violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act, or
3used to facilitate narcotics racketeering; and (B) any interest
4in, security of, claim against, or property or contractual
5right of any kind affording a source of influence over, any
6enterprise which he has established, operated, controlled,
7conducted, or participated in the conduct of, in violation of
8this Act or Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act,
9that the court determines, after a forfeiture hearing, under
10subsection (b) of this Section to have been acquired or
11maintained as a result of narcotics racketeering or violating
12Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act or used to
13facilitate narcotics racketeering.
14 (b) The court shall, upon petition by the Attorney General
15or State's Attorney, at any time subsequent to the filing of an
16information or return of an indictment, conduct a hearing to
17determine whether any property or property interest is subject
18to forfeiture under this Act. At the forfeiture hearing the
19people shall have the burden of establishing, by a
20preponderance of the evidence, that property or property
21interests are subject to forfeiture under this Act. There is a
22rebuttable presumption at such hearing that any property or
23property interest of a person charged by information or
24indictment with narcotics racketeering or who is convicted of a
25violation of Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act is
26subject to forfeiture under this Section if the State

HB5331- 2103 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that:
2 (1) such property or property interest was acquired by
3 such person during the period of the violation of this Act
4 or Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act or
5 within a reasonable time after such period; and
6 (2) there was no likely source for such property or
7 property interest other than the violation of this Act or
8 Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act.
9 (c) In an action brought by the People of the State of
10Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,
11injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
12with any property or property interest subject to forfeiture
13under this Act is sought, the circuit court which shall preside
14over the trial of the person or persons charged with narcotics
15racketeering as defined in Section 4 of this Act or violating
16Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act shall first
17determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the
18person or persons so charged has committed the offense of
19narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of this Act or a
20violation of Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
21and whether the property or property interest is subject to
22forfeiture pursuant to this Act.
23 In order to make such a determination, prior to entering
24any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a
25jury, wherein the People shall establish that there is: (i)
26probable cause that the person or persons so charged have

HB5331- 2104 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1committed the offense of narcotics racketeering or violating
2Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act and (ii)
3probable cause that any property or property interest may be
4subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may be
5conducted simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the
6prosecution is commenced by information or complaint, or by
7motion of the People, at any stage in the proceedings. The
8court may accept a finding of probable cause at a preliminary
9hearing following the filing of an information charging the
10offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of
11this Act or the return of an indictment by a grand jury
12charging the offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in
13Section 4 of this Act or after a charge is filed for violating
14Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act as sufficient
15evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) above.
16 Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
17restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
18such other action in connection with any such property or
19property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
20necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
21jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
22disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
23prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
24Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
25certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
26prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles

HB5331- 2105 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
2located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
3prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide purchaser,
4mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising prior
5to the date of such filing.
6 The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
7defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
8such property or interest which the court previously determined
9to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any restraining
10order, injunction, or prohibition or other action. The court
11may release such property to the defendant for good cause shown
12and within the sound discretion of the court.
13 (d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
14Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
15 (e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
16subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
17Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
18declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
19conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
20property interest that has been the subject of an entered
21restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
22action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless the
23claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that the
24property or property interest has not been acquired or
25maintained as a result of narcotics racketeering or has not
26been used to facilitate narcotics racketeering.

7 Sec. 50. Sexual assault evidence tracking system.
8 (a) On June 26, 2018, the Sexual Assault Evidence Tracking
9and Reporting Commission issued its report as required under
10Section 43. It is the intention of the General Assembly in
11enacting the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 101st
12General Assembly to implement the recommendations of the Sexual
13Assault Evidence Tracking and Reporting Commission set forth in
14that report in a manner that utilizes the current resources of
15law enforcement agencies whenever possible and that is
16adaptable to changing technologies and circumstances.
17 (a-1) Due to the complex nature of a statewide tracking
18system for sexual assault evidence and to ensure all
19stakeholders, including, but not limited to, victims and their
20designees, health care facilities, law enforcement agencies,
21forensic labs, and State's Attorneys offices are integrated,
22the Commission recommended the purchase of an electronic
23off-the-shelf tracking system. The system must be able to
24communicate with all stakeholders and provide real-time
25information to a victim or his or her designee on the status of

HB5331- 2119 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the evidence that was collected. The sexual assault evidence
2tracking system must:
3 (1) be electronic and web-based;
4 (2) be administered by the Illinois Department of State
5 Police;
6 (3) have help desk availability at all times;
7 (4) ensure the law enforcement agency contact
8 information is accessible to the victim or his or her
9 designee through the tracking system, so there is contact
10 information for questions;
11 (5) have the option for external connectivity to
12 evidence management systems, laboratory information
13 management systems, or other electronic data systems
14 already in existence by any of the stakeholders to minimize
15 additional burdens or tasks on stakeholders;
16 (6) allow for the victim to opt in for automatic
17 notifications when status updates are entered in the
18 system, if the system allows;
19 (7) include at each step in the process, a brief
20 explanation of the general purpose of that step and a
21 general indication of how long the step may take to
22 complete;
23 (8) contain minimum fields for tracking and reporting,
24 as follows:
25 (A) for sexual assault evidence kit vendor fields:
26 (i) each sexual evidence kit identification

HB5331- 2120 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 number provided to each health care facility; and
2 (ii) the date the sexual evidence kit was sent
3 to the health care facility.
4 (B) for health care facility fields:
5 (i) the date sexual assault evidence was
6 collected; and
7 (ii) the date notification was made to the law
8 enforcement agency that the sexual assault
9 evidence was collected.
10 (C) for law enforcement agency fields:
11 (i) the date the law enforcement agency took
12 possession of the sexual assault evidence from the
13 health care facility, another law enforcement
14 agency, or victim if he or she did not go through a
15 health care facility;
16 (ii) the law enforcement agency complaint
17 number;
18 (iii) if the law enforcement agency that takes
19 possession of the sexual assault evidence from a
20 health care facility is not the law enforcement
21 agency with jurisdiction in which the offense
22 occurred, the date when the law enforcement agency
23 notified the law enforcement agency having
24 jurisdiction that the agency has sexual assault
25 evidence required under subsection (c) of Section
26 20 of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act;

HB5331- 2121 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (iv) an indication if the victim consented for
2 analysis of the sexual assault evidence;
3 (v) if the victim did not consent for analysis
4 of the sexual assault evidence, the date on which
5 the law enforcement agency is no longer required to
6 store the sexual assault evidence;
7 (vi) a mechanism for the law enforcement
8 agency to document why the sexual assault evidence
9 was not submitted to the laboratory for analysis,
10 if applicable;
11 (vii) the date the law enforcement agency
12 received the sexual assault evidence results back
13 from the laboratory;
14 (viii) the date statutory notifications were
15 made to the victim or documentation of why
16 notification was not made; and
17 (ix) the date the law enforcement agency
18 turned over the case information to the State's
19 Attorney office, if applicable.
20 (D) for forensic lab fields:
21 (i) the date the sexual assault evidence is
22 received from the law enforcement agency by the
23 forensic lab for analysis;
24 (ii) the laboratory case number, visible to
25 the law enforcement agency and State's Attorney
26 office; and

HB5331- 2122 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (iii) the date the laboratory completes the
2 analysis of the sexual assault evidence.
3 (E) for State's Attorney office fields:
4 (i) the date the State's Attorney office
5 received the sexual assault evidence results from
6 the laboratory, if applicable; and
7 (ii) the disposition or status of the case.
8 (a-2) The Commission also developed guidelines for secure
9electronic access to a tracking system for a victim, or his or
10her designee to access information on the status of the
11evidence collected. The Commission recommended minimum
12guidelines in order to safeguard confidentiality of the
13information contained within this statewide tracking system.
14These recommendations are that the sexual assault evidence
15tracking system must:
16 (1) allow for secure access, controlled by an
17 administering body who can restrict user access and allow
18 different permissions based on the need of that particular
19 user and health care facility users may include
20 out-of-state border hospitals, if authorized by the
21 Illinois Department of State Police to obtain this State's
22 kits from vendor;
23 (2) provide for users, other than victims, the ability
24 to provide for any individual who is granted access to the
25 program their own unique user ID and password;
26 (3) provide for a mechanism for a victim to enter the

HB5331- 2123 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 system and only access his or her own information;
2 (4) enable a sexual assault evidence to be tracked and
3 identified through the unique sexual assault evidence kit
4 identification number or barcode that the vendor applies to
5 each sexual assault evidence kit per the Illinois
6 Department of State Police's contract;
7 (5) have a mechanism to inventory unused kits provided
8 to a health care facility from the vendor;
9 (6) provide users the option to either scan the bar
10 code or manually enter the sexual assault evidence kit
11 number into the tracking program;
12 (7) provide a mechanism to create a separate unique
13 identification number for cases in which a sexual evidence
14 kit was not collected, but other evidence was collected;
15 (8) provide the ability to record date, time, and user
16 ID whenever any user accesses the system;
17 (9) provide for real-time entry and update of data;
18 (10) contain report functions including:
19 (A) health care facility compliance with
20 applicable laws;
21 (B) law enforcement agency compliance with
22 applicable laws;
23 (C) law enforcement agency annual inventory of
24 cases to each State's Attorney office; and
25 (D) forensic lab compliance with applicable laws;
26 and

HB5331- 2124 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (11) provide automatic notifications to the law
2 enforcement agency when:
3 (A) a health care facility has collected sexual
4 assault evidence;
5 (B) unreleased sexual assault evidence that is
6 being stored by the law enforcement agency has met the
7 minimum storage requirement by law; and
8 (C) timelines as required by law are not met for a
9 particular case, if not otherwise documented.
10 (b) The Illinois State Police Department shall develop
11rules to implement a sexual assault evidence tracking system
12that conforms with subsections (a-1) and (a-2) of this Section.
13The Illinois State Police Department shall design the criteria
14for the sexual assault evidence tracking system so that, to the
15extent reasonably possible, the system can use existing
16technologies and products, including, but not limited to,
17currently available tracking systems. The sexual assault
18evidence tracking system shall be operational and shall begin
19tracking and reporting sexual assault evidence no later than
20one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
21101st General Assembly. The Illinois State Police Department
22may adopt additional rules as it deems necessary to ensure that
23the sexual assault evidence tracking system continues to be a
24useful tool for law enforcement.
25 (c) A treatment hospital, a treatment hospital with
26approved pediatric transfer, an out-of-state hospital approved

HB5331- 2125 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1by the Department of Public Health to receive transfers of
2Illinois sexual assault survivors, or an approved pediatric
3health care facility defined in Section 1a of the Sexual
4Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act shall participate in
5the sexual assault evidence tracking system created under this
6Section and in accordance with rules adopted under subsection
7(b), including, but not limited to, the collection of sexual
8assault evidence and providing information regarding that
9evidence, including, but not limited to, providing notice to
10law enforcement that the evidence has been collected.
11 (d) The operations of the sexual assault evidence tracking
12system shall be funded by moneys appropriated for that purpose
13from the State Crime Laboratory Fund and funds provided to the
14Illinois State Police Department through asset forfeiture,
15together with such other funds as the General Assembly may
16appropriate.
17 (e) To ensure that the sexual assault evidence tracking
18system is operational, the Illinois State Police Department may
19adopt emergency rules to implement the provisions of this
20Section under subsection (ff) of Section 5-45 of the Illinois
21Administrative Procedure Act.
22 (f) Information, including, but not limited to, evidence
23and records in the sexual assault evidence tracking system is
24exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

9 Sec. 5-2-4. Proceedings after acquittal by reason of
10insanity.
11 (a) After a finding or verdict of not guilty by reason of
12insanity under Sections 104-25, 115-3, or 115-4 of the Code of
13Criminal Procedure of 1963, the defendant shall be ordered to
14the Department of Human Services for an evaluation as to
15whether he is in need of mental health services. The order
16shall specify whether the evaluation shall be conducted on an
17inpatient or outpatient basis. If the evaluation is to be
18conducted on an inpatient basis, the defendant shall be placed
19in a secure setting. With the court order for evaluation shall
20be sent a copy of the arrest report, criminal charges, arrest
21record, jail record, any report prepared under Section 115-6 of
22the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any statement
23prepared under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
24Witnesses Act. The clerk of the circuit court shall transmit
25this information to the Department within 5 days. If the court

HB5331- 2174 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1orders that the evaluation be done on an inpatient basis, the
2Department shall evaluate the defendant to determine to which
3secure facility the defendant shall be transported and, within
420 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of
5the placement court order, notify the sheriff of the designated
6facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the sheriff shall
7promptly transport the defendant to the designated facility.
8During the period of time required to determine the appropriate
9placement, the defendant shall remain in jail. If, within 20
10days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of
11the placement court order, the Department fails to notify the
12sheriff of the identity of the facility to which the defendant
13shall be transported, the sheriff shall contact a designated
14person within the Department to inquire about when a placement
15will become available at the designated facility and bed
16availability at other facilities. If, within 20 days of the
17transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the placement
18court order, the Department fails to notify the sheriff of the
19identity of the facility to which the defendant shall be
20transported, the sheriff shall notify the Department of its
21intent to transfer the defendant to the nearest secure mental
22health facility operated by the Department and inquire as to
23the status of the placement evaluation and availability for
24admission to the facility operated by the Department by
25contacting a designated person within the Department. The
26Department shall respond to the sheriff within 2 business days

HB5331- 2175 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1of the notice and inquiry by the sheriff seeking the transfer
2and the Department shall provide the sheriff with the status of
3the placement evaluation, information on bed and placement
4availability, and an estimated date of admission for the
5defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission.
6If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business
7day period of a facility operated by the Department with
8placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport
9the defendant to that facility. Individualized placement
10evaluations by the Department of Human Services determine the
11most appropriate setting for forensic treatment based upon a
12number of factors including mental health diagnosis, proximity
13to surviving victims, security need, age, gender, and proximity
14to family.
15 The Department shall provide the Court with a report of its
16evaluation within 30 days of the date of this order. The Court
17shall hold a hearing as provided under the Mental Health and
18Developmental Disabilities Code to determine if the individual
19is: (a) in need of mental health services on an inpatient
20basis; (b) in need of mental health services on an outpatient
21basis; (c) a person not in need of mental health services. The
22court shall afford the victim the opportunity to make a written
23or oral statement as guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of
24the Illinois Constitution and Section 6 of the Rights of Crime
25Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a victim to
26make an oral statement if the victim is present in the

HB5331- 2176 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1courtroom and requests to make an oral statement. An oral
2statement includes the victim or a representative of the victim
3reading the written statement. The court may allow persons
4impacted by the crime who are not victims under subsection (a)
5of Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
6to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
7person making an oral statement shall not be put under oath or
8subject to cross-examination. The court shall consider any
9statement presented along with all other appropriate factors in
10determining the sentence of the defendant or disposition of the
11juvenile. All statements shall become part of the record of the
12court.
13 If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
14services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
15defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
16shall be placed in a secure setting. Such defendants placed in
17a secure setting shall not be permitted outside the facility's
18housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by personnel of the
19Department of Human Services or with the prior approval of the
20Court for unsupervised on-grounds privileges as provided
21herein. Any defendant placed in a secure setting pursuant to
22this Section, transported to court hearings or other necessary
23appointments off facility grounds by personnel of the
24Department of Human Services, shall be placed in security
25devices or otherwise secured during the period of
26transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and

HB5331- 2177 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and
2others. These security measures shall not constitute restraint
3as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
4Code. If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
5services, but not on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall
6conditionally release the defendant, under such conditions as
7set forth in this Section as will reasonably assure the
8defendant's satisfactory progress and participation in
9treatment or rehabilitation and the safety of the defendant,
10the victim, the victim's family members, and others. If the
11Court finds the person not in need of mental health services,
12then the Court shall order the defendant discharged from
13custody.

7 Court may impose which reasonably assure the defendant's
8 satisfactory progress in treatment or habilitation and the
9 safety of the defendant, the victim, the victim's family,
10 and others. The Court shall consider such terms and
11 conditions which may include, but need not be limited to,
12 outpatient care, alcoholic and drug rehabilitation
13 programs, community adjustment programs, individual,
14 group, family, and chemotherapy, random testing to ensure
15 the defendant's timely and continuous taking of any
16 medicines prescribed to control or manage his or her
17 conduct or mental state, and periodic checks with the legal
18 authorities and/or the Department of Human Services. The
19 Court may order as a condition of conditional release that
20 the defendant not contact the victim of the offense that
21 resulted in the finding or verdict of not guilty by reason
22 of insanity or any other person. The Court may order the
23 Department of Human Services to provide care to any person
24 conditionally released under this Section. The Department
25 may contract with any public or private agency in order to

HB5331- 2179 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 The Department shall monitor the provision of services to
2 persons conditionally released under this Section and
3 provide periodic reports to the Court concerning the

6 the State's Attorney for the county in which the hearing is
7 held shall designate in writing the name, telephone number,
8 and address of a person employed by him or her who shall be
9 notified in the event that either the reporting agency or
10 the Department decides that the conditional release of the
11 defendant should be revoked or modified pursuant to

14 defendant, the person or facility rendering the treatment,
15 therapy, program or outpatient care, the Department, or the
16 State's Attorney may petition the Court for an extension of
17 the conditional release period for an additional 5 years.

22 subject to the terms of conditional release, and shall
23 enter an order either extending the defendant's period of
24 conditional release for an additional 5-year period or
25 discharging the defendant. Additional 5-year periods of
26 conditional release may be ordered following a hearing as

HB5331- 2180 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 provided in this Section. However, in no event shall the
2 defendant's period of conditional release continue beyond
3 the maximum period of commitment ordered by the Court

8 83-1449 apply only to defendants charged with a forcible
9 felony.
10 (E) "Facility director" means the chief officer of a
11 mental health or developmental disabilities facility or
12 his or her designee or the supervisor of a program of
13 treatment or habilitation or his or her designee.
14 "Designee" may include a physician, clinical psychologist,
15 social worker, nurse, or clinical professional counselor.
16 (b) If the Court finds the defendant in need of mental
17health services on an inpatient basis, the admission,
18detention, care, treatment or habilitation, treatment plans,
19review proceedings, including review of treatment and
20treatment plans, and discharge of the defendant after such
21order shall be under the Mental Health and Developmental
22Disabilities Code, except that the initial order for admission
23of a defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of insanity
24shall be for an indefinite period of time. Such period of
25commitment shall not exceed the maximum length of time that the
26defendant would have been required to serve, less credit for

HB5331- 2181 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1good behavior as provided in Section 5-4-1 of the Unified Code
2of Corrections, before becoming eligible for release had he
3been convicted of and received the maximum sentence for the
4most serious crime for which he has been acquitted by reason of
5insanity. The Court shall determine the maximum period of
6commitment by an appropriate order. During this period of time,
7the defendant shall not be permitted to be in the community in
8any manner, including, but not limited to, off-grounds
9privileges, with or without escort by personnel of the
10Department of Human Services, unsupervised on-grounds
11privileges, discharge or conditional or temporary release,
12except by a plan as provided in this Section. In no event shall

14discharge. Not more than 30 days after admission and every 90
15days thereafter so long as the initial order remains in effect,
16the facility director shall file a treatment plan report in
17writing with the court and forward a copy of the treatment plan
18report to the clerk of the court, the State's Attorney, and the

21Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality
22Act to be sent a copy of the report. The report shall include
23an opinion as to whether the defendant is currently in need of
24mental health services on an inpatient basis or in need of

2(1) an assessment of the defendant's treatment needs, (2) a
3description of the services recommended for treatment, (3) the
4goals of each type of element of service, (4) an anticipated
5timetable for the accomplishment of the goals, and (5) a
6designation of the qualified professional responsible for the
7implementation of the plan. The report may also include
8unsupervised on-grounds privileges, off-grounds privileges
9(with or without escort by personnel of the Department of Human
10Services), home visits and participation in work programs, but
11only where such privileges have been approved by specific court
12order, which order may include such conditions on the defendant
13as the Court may deem appropriate and necessary to reasonably
14assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in treatment and
15the safety of the defendant and others.
16 (c) Every defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of
17insanity and subsequently found to be in need of mental health
18services shall be represented by counsel in all proceedings

26 Court shall determine a reasonable fee for such services.

HB5331- 2183 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 If the defendant is unable to pay the fee, the Court shall
2 enter an order upon the State to pay the entire fee or such
3 amount as the defendant is unable to pay from funds
4 appropriated by the General Assembly for that purpose.
5 (d) When the facility director determines that:
6 (1) the defendant is no longer in need of mental health
7 services on an inpatient basis; and
8 (2) the defendant may be conditionally released
9 because he or she is still in need of mental health
10 services or that the defendant may be discharged as not in
11 need of any mental health services; or
12 (3) (blank);
13the facility director shall give written notice to the Court,
14State's Attorney and defense attorney. Such notice shall set
15forth in detail the basis for the recommendation of the
16facility director, and specify clearly the recommendations, if
17any, of the facility director, concerning conditional release.
18Any recommendation for conditional release shall include an
19evaluation of the defendant's need for psychotropic
20medication, what provisions should be made, if any, to ensure
21that the defendant will continue to receive psychotropic
22medication following discharge, and what provisions should be
23made to assure the safety of the defendant and others in the
24event the defendant is no longer receiving psychotropic
25medication. Within 30 days of the notification by the facility
26director, the Court shall set a hearing and make a finding as

17record of the court.
18 Upon finding by the Court, the Court shall enter its
19findings and such appropriate order as provided in subsections
20(a) and (a-1) of this Section.
21 (e) A defendant admitted pursuant to this Section, or any
22person on his behalf, may file a petition for treatment plan

9Code. If the Court determines, after hearing evidence, that the
10defendant has not fulfilled the conditions of release, the
11Court shall order a hearing to be held consistent with the
12provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of this Section. At such
13hearing, if the Court finds that the defendant is in need of
14mental health services on an inpatient basis, it shall enter an
15order remanding him or her to the Department of Human Services
16or other facility. If the defendant is remanded to the
17Department of Human Services, he or she shall be placed in a

19compelling reasons that such placement is not necessary. If the
20Court finds that the defendant continues to be in need of
21mental health services but not on an inpatient basis, it may
22modify the conditions of the original release in order to
23reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
24treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in
25accordance with the standards established in paragraph (D) of
26subsection (a-1). Nothing in this Section shall limit a Court's

3affect the remedy of habeas corpus.
4 (k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the
5Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the Mental
6Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
7provisions of this Section shall govern.
8 (l) Public Act 90-593 shall apply to all persons who have
9been found not guilty by reason of insanity and who are

13 (m) The Clerk of the Court shall transmit a certified copy
14of the order of discharge or conditional release to the
15Department of Human Services, to the sheriff of the county from
16which the defendant was admitted, to the Illinois Department of
17State Police, to the proper law enforcement agency for the
18municipality where the offense took place, and to the sheriff
19of the county into which the defendant is conditionally
20discharged. The Illinois Department of State Police shall
21maintain a centralized record of discharged or conditionally
22released defendants while they are under court supervision for
23access and use of appropriate law enforcement agencies.
24 (n) The provisions in this Section which allow allows a
25crime victim to make a written and oral statement do not apply
26if the defendant was under 18 years of age at the time the

HB5331- 2190 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1offense was committed.
2 (o) If any provision of this Section or its application to
3any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of

3prior sentence less the portion of the prior sentence
4previously satisfied unless the more severe sentence is based
5upon conduct on the part of the defendant occurring after the
6original sentencing. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
7collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
8trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of a
9fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase the
10punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
11otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced

14sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.
15 (b) If a conviction or sentence has been set aside on
16direct review or on collateral attack and the court determines
17by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant was

20of the arresting authority and order that the records of the
21clerk of the circuit court and Illinois Department of State
22Police be sealed until further order of the court upon good
23cause shown or as otherwise provided herein, and the name of
24the defendant obliterated from the official index requested to
25be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the
26Clerks of Courts Act in connection with the arrest and

HB5331- 2213 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1conviction for the offense but the order shall not affect any
2index issued by the circuit court clerk before the entry of the
3order. The court shall enter the expungement order regardless
4of whether the defendant has prior criminal convictions.
5 All records sealed by the Illinois Department of State
6Police may be disseminated by the Department only as required
7by law or to the arresting authority, the State's Attorney, the
8court upon a later arrest for the same or similar offense, or
9for the purpose of sentencing for any subsequent felony. Upon
10conviction for any subsequent offense, the Department of
11Corrections shall have access to all sealed records of the
12Department pertaining to that individual.
13 Upon entry of the order of expungement, the clerk of the
14circuit court shall promptly mail a copy of the order to the
15person whose records were expunged and sealed.
16 (c) If a conviction has been vacated as a result of a claim
17of actual innocence based on newly discovered evidence made
18under Section 122-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963
19or Section 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the
20provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (g) of
21Section 2-702 of the Code of Civil Procedure are otherwise
22satisfied, the court shall enter an order for a certificate of
23innocence and an order expunging the conviction for which the
24petitioner has been determined to be innocent as provided in
25subsection (h) of Section 2-702 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

14the county is located shall establish reasonable fees for the
15cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses related
16to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and all
17costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring, involved
18in a successful probation program for the county. The
19concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
20administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
21of the circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
22order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the

17jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The court
18to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have the same
19powers as the sentencing court. The probation department within
20the circuit to which jurisdiction has been transferred, or
21which has agreed to provide supervision, may impose probation
22fees upon receiving the transferred offender, as provided in
23subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as defined in Section
249b of the Probation and Probation Officers Act, the probation
25department from the original sentencing court shall retain all
26probation fees collected prior to the transfer. After the

HB5331- 2233 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b

9conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee of
10$50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
11supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
12court, unless after determining the inability of the person
13sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
14community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
15fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
16in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
17and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
18the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
19an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
20court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
21clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
22shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
23treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
24under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers Act.
25 A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
26subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit

HB5331- 2234 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
2judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an offender's
3ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a probation fee, up
4to $5 of that fee collected per month may be used to provide
5services to crime victims and their families.
6 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
7offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
8re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
9with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
10Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
11offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
12offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
13probation department, or has been transferred either under
14subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate compact,
15shall be required to pay probation fees to the department
16supervising the offender, based on the offender's ability to
17pay.
18 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee under
19this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616. This
20deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the 93rd
21General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
22increase.
23 (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
24of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
25felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
26Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation department

HB5331- 2235 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined in the Sex
2Offender Management Board Act), the court or the probation
3department shall assess additional fees to pay for all costs of
4treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and treatment, and
5monitoring the offender, based on that offender's ability to
6pay those costs either as they occur or under a payment plan.
7 (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
8violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
9Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
10violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
11provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
12disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under the Criminal
13and Traffic Assessment Act.
14 (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
15conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
16the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
17court or probation department has determined to be sexually
18motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
19shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
20indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
21be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
22required by the court or the probation department.
23 (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
24probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
25of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as
26provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

1nomenclature which compels an innocent person to seek a pardon
2for being wrongfully incarcerated. It is the intent of the
3General Assembly that the court, in exercising its discretion
4as permitted by law regarding the weight and admissibility of
5evidence submitted pursuant to this Section, shall, in the
6interest of justice, give due consideration to difficulties of
7proof caused by the passage of time, the death or
8unavailability of witnesses, the destruction of evidence or
9other factors not caused by such persons or those acting on
10their behalf.
11 (b) Any person convicted and subsequently imprisoned for
12one or more felonies by the State of Illinois which he or she
13did not commit may, under the conditions hereinafter provided,

26 any part of the sentence; and

HB5331- 2334 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (2) his or her judgment of conviction was reversed or
2 vacated, and the indictment or information dismissed or, if
3 a new trial was ordered, either he or she was found not
4 guilty at the new trial or he or she was not retried and
5 the indictment or information dismissed; or the statute, or
6 application thereof, on which the indictment or
7 information was based violated the Constitution of the
8 United States or the State of Illinois; and
9 (3) his or her claim is not time barred by the
10 provisions of subsection (i) of this Section.
11 (d) The petition shall state facts in sufficient detail to
12permit the court to find that the petitioner is likely to
13succeed at trial in proving that the petitioner is innocent of
14the offenses charged in the indictment or information or his or
15her acts or omissions charged in the indictment or information
16did not constitute a felony or misdemeanor against the State of
17Illinois, and the petitioner did not by his or her own conduct
18voluntarily cause or bring about his or her conviction. The
19petition shall be verified by the petitioner.
20 (e) A copy of the petition shall be served on the Attorney
21General and the State's Attorney of the county where the
22conviction was had. The Attorney General and the State's
23Attorney of the county where the conviction was had shall have

25 (f) In any hearing seeking a certificate of innocence, the
26court may take judicial notice of prior sworn testimony or

HB5331- 2335 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1evidence admitted in the criminal proceedings related to the
2convictions which resulted in the alleged wrongful
3incarceration, if the petitioner was either represented by
4counsel at such prior proceedings or the right to counsel was
5knowingly waived.
6 (g) In order to obtain a certificate of innocence the
7petitioner must prove by a preponderance of evidence that:
8 (1) the petitioner was convicted of one or more
9 felonies by the State of Illinois and subsequently
10 sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and has served all or
11 any part of the sentence;
12 (2)(A) the judgment of conviction was reversed or
13 vacated, and the indictment or information dismissed or, if
14 a new trial was ordered, either the petitioner was found
15 not guilty at the new trial or the petitioner was not
16 retried and the indictment or information dismissed; or (B)
17 the statute, or application thereof, on which the
18 indictment or information was based violated the
19 Constitution of the United States or the State of Illinois;
20 (3) the petitioner is innocent of the offenses charged
21 in the indictment or information or his or her acts or
22 omissions charged in the indictment or information did not
23 constitute a felony or misdemeanor against the State; and
24 (4) the petitioner did not by his or her own conduct
25 voluntarily cause or bring about his or her conviction.

1judgment, it shall enter a certificate of innocence finding
2that the petitioner was innocent of all offenses for which he

14or as otherwise provided herein, and the name of the defendant
15obliterated from the official index requested to be kept by the
16circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts
17Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for the
18offense but the order shall not affect any index issued by the
19circuit court clerk before the entry of the order. The court
20shall enter the expungement order regardless of whether the
21petitioner has prior criminal convictions.
22 All records sealed by the Illinois Department of State
23Police may be disseminated by the Department only as required
24by law or to the arresting authority, the State's Attorney, the
25court upon a later arrest for the same or similar offense, or

5circuit court shall promptly mail a copy of the order to the
6person whose records were expunged and sealed.

11file his or her petition within 2 years after the effective
12date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. Any

HB5331- 2338 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1resided in this State for 6 months desires to change his or her
2name and to assume another name by which to be afterwards
3called and known, the person may file a petition in the circuit
4court of the county wherein he or she resides praying for that
5relief.
6 (b) The filing of a petition in accordance with this
7Section shall be the sole and exclusive means by which any
8person committed under the laws of this State to a penal
9institution may change his or her name and assume another name.
10However, any person convicted of a felony in this State or any
11other state who has not been pardoned may not file a petition
12for a name change until 10 years have passed since completion
13and discharge from his or her sentence. A person who has been
14convicted of identity theft, aggravated identity theft, felony
15or misdemeanor criminal sexual abuse when the victim of the
16offense at the time of its commission is under 18 years of age,
17felony or misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a child, felony or
18misdemeanor indecent solicitation of a child, or felony or
19misdemeanor indecent solicitation of an adult, or any other
20offense for which a person is required to register under the
21Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any other state
22who has not been pardoned shall not be permitted to file a
23petition for a name change in the courts of Illinois.
24 (c) A petitioner may include his or her spouse and adult
25unmarried children, with their consent, and his or her minor
26children where it appears to the court that it is for their

HB5331- 2339 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1best interest, in the petition and prayer, and the court's
2order shall then include the spouse and children. Whenever any
3minor has resided in the family of any person for the space of
43 years and has been recognized and known as an adopted child
5in the family of that person, the application herein provided
6for may be made by the person having that minor in his or her
7family.
8 An order shall be entered as to a minor only if the court
9finds by clear and convincing evidence that the change is
10necessary to serve the best interest of the child. In
11determining the best interest of a minor child under this
12Section, the court shall consider all relevant factors,
13including:
14 (1) The wishes of the child's parents and any person
15 acting as a parent who has physical custody of the child.
16 (2) The wishes of the child and the reasons for those
17 wishes. The court may interview the child in chambers to
18 ascertain the child's wishes with respect to the change of
19 name. Counsel shall be present at the interview unless
20 otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The court shall cause
21 a court reporter to be present who shall make a complete
22 record of the interview instantaneously to be part of the
23 record in the case.

1 siblings, step-siblings, or any other person who may
2 significantly affect the child's best interest.
3 (4) The child's adjustment to his or her home, school,
4 and community.
5 (d) If it appears to the court that the conditions and
6requirements under this Article have been complied with and
7that there is no reason why the prayer should not be granted,
8the court, by an order to be entered of record, may direct and
9provide that the name of that person be changed in accordance
10with the prayer in the petition. If the circuit court orders
11that a name change be granted to a person who has been
12adjudicated or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense
13under the laws of this State or any other state for which a
14pardon has not been granted, or has an arrest for which a
15charge has not been filed or a pending charge on a felony or
16misdemeanor offense, a copy of the order, including a copy of
17each applicable access and review response, shall be forwarded

8 Section 1100. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
9by changing Sections 80, 115, and 135 as follows:
10 (740 ILCS 21/80)
11 Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
12 (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
13victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
14provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the requirements
15of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100 on plenary
16orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a stalking no
17contact order because the petitioner or the respondent is a
18minor. The court, when determining whether or not to issue a
19stalking no contact order, may not require physical injury on
20the person of the petitioner. Modification and extension of
21prior stalking no contact orders shall be in accordance with
22this Act.
23 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
24the following:

HB5331- 2347 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
2 or committing stalking;
3 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
4 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
5 court;
6 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
7 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
8 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
9 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
10 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
11 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
12 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
13 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
14 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
15 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
16 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
17 firearms; and
18 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
19 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
20 specifically named by the court.
21 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
22same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
23school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
24providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
25continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
26petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the

HB5331- 2348 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
2availability of a transfer of the respondent to another school,
3a change of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
4the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would
5be caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school,
6and any other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
7that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
8non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
9petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
10placement or program, as determined by the school district or
11private or non-public school, or place restrictions on the
12respondent's movements within the school attended by the
13petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of proving by a
14preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change of
15placement, or change of program of the respondent is not
16available. The respondent also bears the burden of production
17with respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
18disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
19to another school. A transfer, change of placement, or change
20of program is not unavailable to the respondent solely on the
21ground that the respondent does not agree with the school
22district's or private or non-public school's transfer, change
23of placement, or change of program or solely on the ground that
24the respondent fails or refuses to consent to or otherwise does
25not take an action required to effectuate a transfer, change of
26placement, or change of program. When a court orders a

HB5331- 2349 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1respondent to stay away from the public, private, or non-public
2school attended by the petitioner and the respondent requests a
3transfer to another attendance center within the respondent's
4school district or private or non-public school, the school
5district or private or non-public school shall have sole
6discretion to determine the attendance center to which the
7respondent is transferred. In the event the court order results
8in a transfer of the minor respondent to another attendance
9center, a change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
10the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
11custodian of the respondent is responsible for transportation
12and other costs associated with the transfer or change.
13 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
14custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
15refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
16respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
17orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
18parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
19responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
20the change of school by the respondent.
21 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or private
22or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
23criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
24non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
25 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
26custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt

HB5331- 2350 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
2this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
3this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian directed,
4encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.
5 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
6fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
7 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
8 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
9respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
10Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
11confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
12Card and immediately return the card to the Illinois Department
13of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office.

18State of Illinois.
19 "Controlled Substances" means any substance as defined and

9 Sec. 3. (a) The Illinois State Police Department or the
10State's Attorney or any citizen of the county in which a
11nuisance exists may file a complaint in the name of the People
12of the State of Illinois to enjoin all persons from maintaining
13or permitting such nuisance, to abate the same and to enjoin
14the use of any such place for the period of one year.
15 (b) Upon the filing of a complaint by the State's Attorney
16or the Illinois State Police Department in which the complaint
17states that irreparable injury, loss or damage will result to
18the People of the State of Illinois, the court shall enter a
19temporary restraining order without notice enjoining the
20maintenance of such nuisance, upon testimony under oath,
21affidavit, or verified complaint containing facts sufficient,
22if sustained, to justify the court in entering a preliminary
23injunction upon a hearing after notice. Every such temporary
24restraining order entered without notice shall be endorsed with
25the date and hour of entry of the order, shall be filed of

HB5331- 2359 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1record, and shall expire by its terms within such time after
2entry, not to exceed 10 days as fixed by the court, unless the
3temporary restraining order, for good cause, is extended for a
4like period or unless the party against whom the order is
5directed consents that it may be extended for a longer period.
6The reason for extension shall be shown in the order. In case a
7temporary restraining order is entered without notice, the
8motion for a permanent injunction shall be set down for hearing
9at the earliest possible time and takes precedence over all
10matters except older matters of the same character, and when
11the motion comes on for hearing, the Illinois State Police
12Department or State's Attorney, as the case may be, shall
13proceed with the application for a permanent injunction, and,
14if he does not do so, the court shall dissolve the temporary
15restraining order. On 2 days' notice to the Illinois State
16Police Department or State's Attorney, as the case may be, the
17defendant may appear and move the dissolution or modification
18of such temporary restraining order and in that event the court
19shall proceed to hear and determine such motion as
20expeditiously as the ends of justice require.
21 (c) Upon the filing of the complaint by a citizen or the
22Illinois State Police Department or the State's Attorney (in
23cases in which the Illinois State Police Department or State's
24Attorney does not request injunctive relief without notice) in
25the circuit court, the court, if satisfied that the nuisance
26complained of exists, shall allow a temporary restraining

HB5331- 2360 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1order, with bond unless the application is filed by the
2Illinois State Police Department or State's Attorney, in such
3amount as the court may determine, enjoining the defendant from
4maintaining any such nuisance within the jurisdiction of the
5court granting the injunctive relief. However, no such
6injunctive relief shall be granted, except on behalf of an
7owner or agent, unless it be made to appear to the satisfaction
8of the court that the owner or agent of such place knew or had
9been personally served with a notice signed by the plaintiff
10and that such notice has been served upon such owner or such
11agent of such place at least 5 days prior thereto, that such
12place, specifically describing the same, was being so used,
13naming the date or dates of its being so used, and that such
14owner or agent had failed to abate such nuisance, or that upon
15diligent inquiry such owner or agent could not be found for the
16service of such preliminary notice. The lessee, if any, of such
17place shall be made a party defendant to such petition. If the
18property owner is a corporation and the Illinois State Police
19Department or the State's Attorney sends the preliminary notice
20to the corporate address registered with the Secretary of
21State, such action shall create a rebuttable presumption that
22the parties have acted with due diligence and the court may
23grant injunctive relief.
24 (d) In all cases in which the complaint is filed by a
25citizen, such complaint shall be verified.

7first be obtained, furnish and disclose to the law enforcement
8agency identifying information as is necessary to confirm or
9deny whether that person is, or has been since the missing
10person report was filed, a resident of that facility. The
11facility director shall notify the law enforcement agency if
12the missing person is admitted after the request. Any person
13participating in good faith in the disclosure of information in
14accordance with this provision shall have immunity from any
15liability, civil, criminal, or otherwise, if the information is
16disclosed relying upon the representation of an officer of a
17law enforcement agency that a missing person report has been
18filed.
19 (c) Upon the request of a law enforcement agency in
20connection with the investigation of a particular felony or sex
21offense, when the investigation case file number is furnished
22by the law enforcement agency, a facility director shall

24identifying information on any forensic recipient who is
25admitted to a developmental disability or mental health
26facility, as defined in Section 1-107 or 1-114 of the Mental

5 give written consent to the dismissal and their reasons for
6 consenting.
7 (2) A copy of the complaint and written disclosure of
8 substantially all material evidence and information the
9 person possesses shall be served on the State. The
10 complaint shall be filed in camera, shall remain under seal
11 for at least 60 days, and shall not be served on the
12 defendant until the court so orders. The State may elect to
13 intervene and proceed with the action within 60 days after
14 it receives both the complaint and the material evidence
15 and information.
16 (3) The State may, for good cause shown, move the court
17 for extensions of the time during which the complaint
18 remains under seal under paragraph (2). Any such motions
19 may be supported by affidavits or other submissions in
20 camera. The defendant shall not be required to respond to
21 any complaint filed under this Section until 20 days after
22 the complaint is unsealed and served upon the defendant.
23 (4) Before the expiration of the 60-day period or any
24 extensions obtained under paragraph (3), the State shall:
25 (A) proceed with the action, in which case the
26 action shall be conducted by the State; or

HB5331- 2375 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (B) notify the court that it declines to take over
2 the action, in which case the person bringing the
3 action shall have the right to conduct the action.
4 (5) When a person brings an action under this
5 subsection (b), no person other than the State may
6 intervene or bring a related action based on the facts
7 underlying the pending action.
8 (c) Rights of the parties to Qui Tam actions.
9 (1) If the State proceeds with the action, it shall
10 have the primary responsibility for prosecuting the
11 action, and shall not be bound by an act of the person
12 bringing the action. Such person shall have the right to
13 continue as a party to the action, subject to the
14 limitations set forth in paragraph (2).
15 (2)(A) The State may dismiss the action
16 notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
17 the action if the person has been notified by the State of
18 the filing of the motion and the court has provided the
19 person with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion.
20 (B) The State may settle the action with the defendant
21 notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
22 the action if the court determines, after a hearing, that
23 the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable
24 under all the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause,
25 such hearing may be held in camera.
26 (C) Upon a showing by the State that unrestricted

HB5331- 2376 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 participation during the course of the litigation by the
2 person initiating the action would interfere with or unduly
3 delay the State's prosecution of the case, or would be
4 repetitious, irrelevant, or for purposes of harassment,
5 the court may, in its discretion, impose limitations on the
6 person's participation, such as:
7 (i) limiting the number of witnesses the person may
8 call:
9 (ii) limiting the length of the testimony of such
10 witnesses;
11 (iii) limiting the person's cross-examination of
12 witnesses; or
13 (iv) otherwise limiting the participation by the
14 person in the litigation.
15 (D) Upon a showing by the defendant that unrestricted
16 participation during the course of the litigation by the
17 person initiating the action would be for purposes of
18 harassment or would cause the defendant undue burden or
19 unnecessary expense, the court may limit the participation
20 by the person in the litigation.
21 (3) If the State elects not to proceed with the action,
22 the person who initiated the action shall have the right to
23 conduct the action. If the State so requests, it shall be
24 served with copies of all pleadings filed in the action and
25 shall be supplied with copies of all deposition transcripts
26 (at the State's expense). When a person proceeds with the

HB5331- 2377 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 action, the court, without limiting the status and rights
2 of the person initiating the action, may nevertheless
3 permit the State to intervene at a later date upon a
4 showing of good cause.
5 (4) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
6 upon a showing by the State that certain actions of
7 discovery by the person initiating the action would
8 interfere with the State's investigation or prosecution of
9 a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts,
10 the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more
11 than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera.
12 The court may extend the 60-day period upon a further
13 showing in camera that the State has pursued the criminal
14 or civil investigation or proceedings with reasonable
15 diligence and any proposed discovery in the civil action
16 will interfere with the ongoing criminal or civil
17 investigation or proceedings.
18 (5) Notwithstanding subsection (b), the State may
19 elect to pursue its claim through any alternate remedy
20 available to the State, including any administrative
21 proceeding to determine a civil money penalty. If any such
22 alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the
23 person initiating the action shall have the same rights in
24 such proceeding as such person would have had if the action
25 had continued under this Section. Any finding of fact or
26 conclusion of law made in such other proceeding that has

HB5331- 2378 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 become final shall be conclusive on all parties to an
2 action under this Section. For purposes of the preceding
3 sentence, a finding or conclusion is final if it has been
4 finally determined on appeal to the appropriate court, if
5 all time for filing such an appeal with respect to the
6 finding or conclusion has expired, or if the finding or
7 conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
8 (d) Award to Qui Tam plaintiff.
9 (1) If the State proceeds with an action brought by a
10 person under subsection (b), such person shall, subject to
11 the second sentence of this paragraph, receive at least 15%
12 but not more than 25% of the proceeds of the action or
13 settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to which
14 the person substantially contributed to the prosecution of
15 the action. Where the action is one which the court finds
16 to be based primarily on disclosures of specific
17 information (other than information provided by the person
18 bringing the action) relating to allegations or
19 transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative
20 hearing, in a legislative, administrative, or Auditor
21 General's report, hearing, audit, or investigation, or
22 from the news media, the court may award such sums as it
23 considers appropriate, but in no case more than 10% of the
24 proceeds, taking into account the significance of the
25 information and the role of the person bringing the action
26 in advancing the case to litigation. Any payment to a

HB5331- 2379 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 person under the first or second sentence of this paragraph
2 (1) shall be made from the proceeds. Any such person shall
3 also receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the
4 court finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus
5 reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The State shall also
6 receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court
7 finds to have been necessarily incurred by the Attorney
8 General, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
9 All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be awarded against
10 the defendant. The court may award amounts from the
11 proceeds of an action or settlement that it considers
12 appropriate to any governmental entity or program that has
13 been adversely affected by a defendant. The Attorney
14 General, if necessary, shall direct the State Treasurer to
15 make a disbursement of funds as provided in court orders or
16 settlement agreements.
17 (2) If the State does not proceed with an action under
18 this Section, the person bringing the action or settling
19 the claim shall receive an amount which the court decides
20 is reasonable for collecting the civil penalty and damages.
21 The amount shall be not less than 25% and not more than 30%
22 of the proceeds of the action or settlement and shall be
23 paid out of such proceeds. Such person shall also receive
24 an amount for reasonable expenses which the court finds to
25 have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable attorneys'
26 fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be

HB5331- 2380 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 awarded against the defendant. The court may award amounts
2 from the proceeds of an action or settlement that it
3 considers appropriate to any governmental entity or
4 program that has been adversely affected by a defendant.
5 The Attorney General, if necessary, shall direct the State
6 Treasurer to make a disbursement of funds as provided in
7 court orders or settlement agreements.
8 (3) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
9 if the court finds that the action was brought by a person
10 who planned and initiated the violation of Section 3 upon
11 which the action was brought, then the court may, to the
12 extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share of
13 the proceeds of the action which the person would otherwise
14 receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection (d),
15 taking into account the role of that person in advancing
16 the case to litigation and any relevant circumstances
17 pertaining to the violation. If the person bringing the
18 action is convicted of criminal conduct arising from his or
19 her role in the violation of Section 3, that person shall
20 be dismissed from the civil action and shall not receive
21 any share of the proceeds of the action. Such dismissal
22 shall not prejudice the right of the State to continue the
23 action, represented by the Attorney General.
24 (4) If the State does not proceed with the action and
25 the person bringing the action conducts the action, the
26 court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorneys'

HB5331- 2381 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 fees and expenses if the defendant prevails in the action
2 and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing
3 the action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or
4 brought primarily for purposes of harassment.
5 (e) Certain actions barred.
6 (1) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
7 brought by a former or present member of the Guard under
8 subsection (b) of this Section against a member of the
9 Guard arising out of such person's service in the Guard.
10 (2)(A) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
11 brought under subsection (b) against a member of the
12 General Assembly, a member of the judiciary, or an exempt
13 official if the action is based on evidence or information
14 known to the State when the action was brought.

22 appointed by the Governor by and with the consent of the

24 (3) In no event may a person bring an action under
25 subsection (b) which is based upon allegations or
26 transactions which are the subject of a civil suit or an

HB5331- 2382 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 administrative civil money penalty proceeding in which the
2 State is already a party.
3 (4)(A) The court shall dismiss an action or claim under
4 this Section, unless opposed by the State, if substantially
5 the same allegations or transactions as alleged in the
6 action or claim were publicly disclosed:
7 (i) in a criminal, civil, or administrative
8 hearing in which the State or its agent is a party;
9 (ii) in a State legislative, State Auditor
10 General, or other State report, hearing, audit, or
11 investigation; or
12 (iii) from the news media,

14 person bringing the action is an original source of the
15 information.
16 (B) For purposes of this paragraph (4), "original
17 source" means an individual who either (i) prior to a
18 public disclosure under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph
19 (4), has voluntarily disclosed to the State the information
20 on which allegations or transactions in a claim are based,
21 or (ii) has knowledge that is independent of and materially
22 adds to the publicly disclosed allegations or
23 transactions, and who has voluntarily provided the
24 information to the State before filing an action under this
25 Section.
26 (f) State not liable for certain expenses. The State is not

HB5331- 2383 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1liable for expenses which a person incurs in bringing an action
2under this Section.
3 (g) Relief from retaliatory actions.

8 threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated
9 against in the terms and conditions of employment because

16 incurred as a result of the violation of the parenting plan
17 or court order; and
18 (9) any other provision that may promote the child's
19 best interests.
20 (d) In addition to any other order entered under subsection
21(c), except for good cause shown, the court shall order a
22parent who has failed to provide allocated parenting time or to
23exercise allocated parenting time to pay the aggrieved party
24his or her reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and
25expenses associated with an action brought under this Section.
26If the court finds that the respondent in an action brought

HB5331- 2388 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1under this Section has not violated the allocated parenting
2time, the court may order the petitioner to pay the
3respondent's reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and
4expenses incurred in the action.
5 (e) Nothing in this Section precludes a party from
6maintaining any other action as provided by law.

15 also order that a party be issued a family financial
16 responsibility driving permit that would allow limited
17 driving privileges for employment, for medical purposes,
18 and to transport a child to or from scheduled parenting
19 time in order to comply with a parenting time order in
20 accordance with subsection (a-1) of Section 7-702.1 of the

22 (2) Placement of a party on probation with such
23 conditions of probation as the court deems advisable.

10contempt of court for violation of a parenting order, the clerk
11shall transmit a copy of the contempt order to the sheriff of
12the county. The sheriff shall furnish a copy of each contempt
13order to the Illinois Department of State Police on a daily
14basis in the form and manner required by the Department. The
15Department shall maintain a complete record and index of the

21 Section 1130. The Adoption Act is amended by changing
22Sections 6 and 12.3 as follows:
23 (750 ILCS 50/6) (from Ch. 40, par. 1508)
24 Sec. 6. A. Investigation; all cases. Within 10 days after

HB5331- 2390 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1the filing of a petition for the adoption or standby adoption
2of a child other than a related child, the court shall appoint
3a child welfare agency approved by the Department of Children
4and Family Services, or a person deemed competent by the court,
5or in Cook County the Court Services Division of the Cook
6County Department of Public Aid, or the Department of Children
7and Family Services if the court determines that no child
8welfare agency is available or that the petitioner is
9financially unable to pay for the investigation, to investigate
10accurately, fully and promptly, the allegations contained in
11the petition; the character, reputation, health and general
12standing in the community of the petitioners; the religious
13faith of the petitioners and, if ascertainable, of the child
14sought to be adopted; and whether the petitioners are proper
15persons to adopt the child and whether the child is a proper
16subject of adoption. The investigation required under this
17Section shall include a fingerprint based criminal background
18check with a review of fingerprints by the Illinois State
19Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Each petitioner
20subject to this investigation, shall submit his or her
21fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in the
22form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of State
23Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against the
24fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
25Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation
26criminal history records databases. The Illinois Department of

HB5331- 2391 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1State Police shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal
2history records check, which shall be deposited in the State
3Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of
4the records check. The criminal background check required by
5this Section shall include a listing of when, where and by whom
6the criminal background check was prepared. The criminal
7background check required by this Section shall not be more
8than two years old.
9 Neither a clerk of the circuit court nor a judge may
10require that a criminal background check or fingerprint review
11be filed with, or at the same time as, an initial petition for
12adoption.
13 B. Investigation; foreign-born child. In the case of a
14child born outside the United States or a territory thereof, in
15addition to the investigation required under subsection (A) of
16this Section, a post-placement investigation shall be
17conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Child Care
18Act of 1969, the Interstate Compact on the Placement of
19Children, and the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000.
20 The requirements of a post-placement investigation shall
21be deemed to have been satisfied if a valid final order or
22judgment of adoption has been entered by a court of competent
23jurisdiction in a country other than the United States or a
24territory thereof with respect to such child and the
25petitioners.
26 C. Report of investigation. The court shall determine

HB5331- 2392 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1whether the costs of the investigation shall be charged to the
2petitioners. The information obtained as a result of such
3investigation shall be presented to the court in a written
4report. The results of the criminal background check required
5under subsection (A) shall be provided to the court for its
6review. The court may, in its discretion, weigh the
7significance of the results of the criminal background check
8against the entirety of the background of the petitioners. The
9Court, in its discretion, may accept the report of the
10investigation previously made by a licensed child welfare
11agency, if made within one year prior to the entry of the
12judgment. Such report shall be treated as confidential and
13withheld from inspection unless findings adverse to the
14petitioners or to the child sought to be adopted are contained
15therein, and in that event the court shall inform the
16petitioners of the relevant portions pertaining to the adverse
17findings. In no event shall any facts set forth in the report
18be considered at the hearing of the proceeding, unless
19established by competent evidence. The report shall be filed
20with the record of the proceeding. If the file relating to the
21proceeding is not impounded, the report shall be impounded by
22the clerk of the court and shall be made available for
23inspection only upon order of the court.
24 D. Related adoption. Such investigation shall not be made
25when the petition seeks to adopt a related child or an adult
26unless the court, in its discretion, shall so order. In such an

HB5331- 2393 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1event the court may appoint a person deemed competent by the
2court.

20(Source: P.A. 99-833, eff. 1-1-17.)
21 Section 1135. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
22amended by changing Sections 214, 217, 220, 222, 222.5, and 302
23as follows:
24 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)

HB5331- 2396 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
2 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
3has been abused by a family or household member or that
4petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
5or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
6prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
7provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
8one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on
9emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
10on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
11protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
12court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
13protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
14on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
15prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
16Act.
17 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
18an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
19this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
20Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
21and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
22subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
23remedies available to petitioner.
24 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
25 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
26 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical

HB5331- 2397 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
2 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
3 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
4 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
5 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
6 prohibited.
7 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
8 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
9 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
10 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
11 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
12 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
13 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
14 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
15 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
16 Marriage Act.
17 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
18 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
19 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
20 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
21 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
22 person or entity other than the opposing party that
23 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
24 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
25 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
26 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and

HB5331- 2398 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
2 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
3 hardships to respondent and any minor child or
4 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
5 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
6 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
7 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
8 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
9 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
10 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
11 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
12 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
13 the accessibility of the residence or household.
14 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
15 have a right to occupancy.
16 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
17 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
18 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
19 that the hardships to respondent substantially
20 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
21 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
22 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
23 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
24 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
25 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
26 household.

HB5331- 2399 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
2 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
3 protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
4 respondent from entering or remaining present at
5 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
6 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
7 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
8 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
9 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
10 right to enter the premises.
11 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
12 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
13 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
14 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
15 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
16 access to the residence to remove items of clothing and
17 personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
18 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
19 right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion
20 as the court directs and in the presence of an
21 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
22 officer.
23 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
24 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
25 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order
26 of protection and providing relief shall consider the

HB5331- 2400 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
2 emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational
3 rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
4 under federal and State law, the availability of a
5 transfer of the respondent to another school, a change
6 of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
7 the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption
8 that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
9 another school, and any other relevant facts of the
10 case. The court may order that the respondent not
11 attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,
12 middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
13 order that the respondent accept a change of placement
14 or change of program, as determined by the school
15 district or private or non-public school, or place
16 restrictions on the respondent's movements within the
17 school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
18 bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
19 evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or
20 change of program of the respondent is not available.
21 The respondent also bears the burden of production with
22 respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
23 disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
24 respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
25 placement, or change of program is not unavailable to
26 the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent

HB5331- 2401 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 does not agree with the school district's or private or
2 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
3 change of program or solely on the ground that the
4 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
5 does not take an action required to effectuate a
6 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
7 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
8 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
9 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
10 another attendance center within the respondent's
11 school district or private or non-public school, the
12 school district or private or non-public school shall
13 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
14 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
15 event the court order results in a transfer of the
16 minor respondent to another attendance center, a
17 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
18 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
19 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
20 transportation and other costs associated with the
21 transfer or change.
22 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
23 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
24 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
25 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
26 the event the court orders a transfer of the respondent

HB5331- 2402 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 to another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
2 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
3 transportation and other costs associated with the
4 change of school by the respondent.
5 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
6 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
7 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
8 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
9 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
10 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
11 abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
12 appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any
13 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
14 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
15 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
16 all recommended treatment.
17 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
18 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
19 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
20 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
21 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
22 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
23 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
24 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
25 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
26 in loco parentis.

HB5331- 2403 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
2 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
3 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
4 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
5 minor child's best interest.
6 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
7 significant decision-making. Award temporary
8 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
9 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
10 Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and this
11 State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement
12 Act.
13 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
14 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
15 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
16 awarding temporary significant decision-making
17 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
18 best interest.
19 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
20 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
21 physical care or allocates temporary significant
22 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
23 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
24 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
25 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
26 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during

HB5331- 2404 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
2 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
3 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
4 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
5 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
6 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
7 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
8 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the order
9 shall specify dates and times for the parenting time to
10 take place or other specific parameters or conditions that
11 are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall refer
12 merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
13 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
14 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
15 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
16 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
17 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
18 a violent or abusive manner.
19 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
20 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
21 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
22 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
23 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
24 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
25 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
26 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and

HB5331- 2405 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 acknowledging accountability to the court.
2 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
3 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
4 concealing the child within the State.
5 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
6 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
7 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
8 child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
9 any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or
10 the respondent.
11 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
12 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
13 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
14 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
15 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
16 property; or
17 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
18 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
19 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
20 temporary possession by petitioner.
21 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
22 is that it is marital property, the court may award
23 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
24 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
25 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
26 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or

HB5331- 2406 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 hereafter amended.
2 No order under this provision shall affect title to
3 property.
4 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
5 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
6 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
7 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
8 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
9 property; or
10 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
11 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
12 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
13 is that it is marital property, the court may grant
14 petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
15 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
16 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
17 now or hereafter amended.
18 The court may further prohibit respondent from
19 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
20 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
21 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
22 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
23 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
24 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
25 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
26 residence or household of either the petitioner or the

HB5331- 2407 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
2 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
3 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
4 otherwise disposing of the animal.
5 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
6 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
7 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
8 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
9 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
10 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
11 which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
12 support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
13 income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
14 granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
15 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
16 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
17 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
18 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
19 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
20 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
21 provided in the order.
22 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
23 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
24 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
25 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
26 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of

HB5331- 2408 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
2 court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
3 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
4 restaurant meals.
5 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
6 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
7 property distribution from the other party under the
8 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
9 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
10 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
11 the extent that such reimbursement would be
12 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
13 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
14 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
15 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
16 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
17 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
18 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
19 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
20 investigator fees, and travel costs.
21 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
22 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
23 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
24 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
25 of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
26 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.

HB5331- 2409 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
2 protection was issued from possessing any firearms
3 during the duration of the order if the order:
4 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
5 person received actual notice, and at which such
6 person had an opportunity to participate;
7 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
8 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
9 such person or child of such intimate partner or
10 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
11 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
12 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
13 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
14 represents a credible threat to the physical
15 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
16 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
17 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
18 against such intimate partner or child that would
19 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
20 Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
21 possession of the respondent, except as provided in
22 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
23 turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
24 local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
25 the card to the Illinois Department of State Police
26 Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office for

HB5331- 2410 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 safekeeping. The court shall issue a warrant for
2 seizure of any firearm in the possession of the
3 respondent, to be kept by the local law enforcement
4 agency for safekeeping, except as provided in
5 subsection (b). The period of safekeeping shall be for
6 the duration of the order of protection. The firearm or
7 firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if
8 unexpired, shall at the respondent's request, be
9 returned to the respondent at the end of the order of
10 protection. It is the respondent's responsibility to
11 notify the Illinois Department of State Police Firearm
12 Owner's Identification Card Office.
13 (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
14 in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
15 shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
16 the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
17 be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
18 of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
19 shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
20 duration of the order of protection.
21 (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
22 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
23 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
24 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
25 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
26 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law

HB5331- 2411 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
2 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
3 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
4 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
5 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
6 to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
7 firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
8 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
9 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
10 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
11 under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
12 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
13 child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
14 prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
15 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
16 records of the minor child who is in the care of
17 petitioner.
18 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
19 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
20 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
21 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
22 deemed reasonable by the court.
23 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
24 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
25 a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
26 exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to

HB5331- 2412 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
2 balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
3 injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
4 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
5 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
6 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
7 (18) Telephone services.
8 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
9 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
10 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
11 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
12 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
13 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
14 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
15 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For
16 purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless
17 telephone service provider" means a provider of
18 commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332.
19 The petitioner may request the transfer of each
20 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
21 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
22 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service
23 provider's agent for service of process provided to the
24 Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain
25 all of the following:
26 (i) The name and billing telephone number of

HB5331- 2413 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 the account holder including the name of the
2 wireless telephone service provider that serves
3 the account.
4 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
5 transferred.
6 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
7 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
8 and right to the use of any telephone number
9 transferred under this paragraph.
10 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
11 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
12 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
13 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
14 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
15 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
16 following applies:
17 (i) The account holder named in the order has
18 terminated the account.
19 (ii) A difference in network technology would
20 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
21 a network if the transfer occurs.
22 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
23 other limitation on network or service provision
24 to the petitioner.
25 (iv) Another technological or operational
26 issue would prevent or impair the use of the

HB5331- 2414 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
2 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
3 responsibility for and right to the use of any
4 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
5 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
6 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
7 mobile device associated with the number.
8 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
9 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
10 requirements for establishing an account or
11 transferring a number, including requiring the
12 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
13 financial information, and customer preferences.
14 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
15 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
16 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
17 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
18 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
19 services to residential customers shall provide to the
20 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
21 agent for service of orders entered under this
22 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
23 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
24 Commission within 30 days of such change.
25 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
26 maintain the list of registered agents for service for

HB5331- 2415 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 each wireless telephone service provider on the
2 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
3 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
4 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
5 provided and displayed.
6 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
7 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
8 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
9 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
10 following:
11 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
12 consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
13 or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
14 household member, including the concealment of his or
15 her location in order to evade service of process or
16 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
17 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
18 petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
19 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
20 or neglected or improperly relocated from the
21 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
22 improperly separated from the child's primary
23 caretaker.
24 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
25 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
26 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not

HB5331- 2416 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 limited to the following:
2 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
3 adequacy, location and other characteristics of
4 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
5 dependent adult in the party's care;
6 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
7 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
8 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
9 care, to family, school, church and community.
10 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
11 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
12 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
13 set forth the following:
14 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
15 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
16 this subsection.
17 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
18 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
19 or continued abuse.
20 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
21 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
22 other alleged abused persons.
23 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
24 of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
25 supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
26 (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use

HB5331- 2417 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 the following procedure:
2 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
3 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
4 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
5 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
6 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
7 appears from the contents of the petition and the
8 examination of petitioner that the averments are
9 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
10 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
11 order of protection.
12 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
13 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
14 attach to a putative father until a father and child
15 relationship has been established under the Illinois
16 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
17 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
18 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
19 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
20 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, the
21 Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
22 administrative, or other act of another state or territory,
23 any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign nation
24 establishing the father and child relationship, any other
25 proceeding substantially in conformity with the Personal
26 Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of

HB5331- 2418 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where both parties appeared in
2 open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
3 under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
4 father and child relationship. Absent such an
5 adjudication, finding, or acknowledgment, no putative
6 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
7 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
8 child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
9 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
10 child be entered.
11 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
12the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
13remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
14subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
15balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
16include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
17in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
18hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
19shall be an official record or in writing.
20 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
21based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
22 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
23 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
24 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
25 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
26 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of

HB5331- 2419 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
2 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
3 of 2012;
4 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
5 of another;
6 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
7 further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
8 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
9 to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
10 respondent;
11 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
12 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
13 that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
14 or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
15 household members.

20 Sec. 217. Emergency order of protection.
21 (a) Prerequisites. An emergency order of protection shall
22issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this
23subsection for one or more of the requested remedies. For each
24remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
25 (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;

HB5331- 2420 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (2) The requirements of Section 214 are satisfied; and
2 (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless
3 of prior service of process or of notice upon the
4 respondent, because:
5 (i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
6 described in Section 214(b)(1), "stay away order and
7 additional prohibitions" described in Section
8 214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child"
9 described in Section 214(b)(8), "order to appear"
10 described in Section 214(b)(9), "physical care and
11 possession of the minor child" described in Section
12 214(b)(5), "protection of property" described in
13 Section 214(b)(11), "prohibition of entry" described
14 in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition of firearm
15 possession" described in Section 214(b)(14.5),
16 "prohibition of access to records" described in
17 Section 214(b)(15), and "injunctive relief" described
18 in Section 214(b)(16), the harm which that remedy is
19 intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
20 respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
21 notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
22 efforts to obtain judicial relief;
23 (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive
24 possession of residence" described in Section
25 214(b)(2), the immediate danger of further abuse of
26 petitioner by respondent, if petitioner chooses or had

HB5331- 2421 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 chosen to remain in the residence or household while
2 respondent was given any prior notice or greater notice
3 than was actually given of petitioner's efforts to
4 obtain judicial relief, outweighs the hardships to
5 respondent of an emergency order granting petitioner
6 exclusive possession of the residence or household.
7 This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has
8 or could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while
9 prior notice is given to respondent, unless the
10 hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home
11 substantially outweigh those to petitioner;
12 (iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal
13 property" described in Section 214(b)(10), improper
14 disposition of the personal property would be likely to
15 occur if respondent were given any prior notice, or
16 greater notice than was actually given, of
17 petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
18 petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for
19 possession of that property.
20 An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal
21custody, payment of support or monetary compensation remedies.
22 (a-5) When a petition for an emergency order of protection
23is granted, the order shall not be publicly available until the
24order is served on the respondent.
25 (b) Appearance by respondent. If respondent appears in
26court for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may

HB5331- 2422 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
2order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section.
3Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all
4requirements of Section 218 have been met, the court may issue
5a 30-day interim order.
6 (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
7 (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at the
8 close of business, the petitioner may file a petition for a
9 21-day emergency order before any available circuit judge
10 or associate judge who may grant relief under this Act. If
11 the judge finds that there is an immediate and present
12 danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner has
13 satisfied the prerequisites set forth in subsection (a) of
14 Section 217, that judge may issue an emergency order of
15 protection.
16 (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the circuit
17 court may designate for each county in the circuit at least
18 one judge to be reasonably available to issue orally, by
19 telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an emergency order
20 of protection at all times, whether or not the court is in
21 session.
22 (2) Certification and transfer. The judge who issued
23 the order under this Section shall promptly communicate or
24 convey the order to the sheriff to facilitate the entry of
25 the order into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System by
26 the Illinois Department of State Police pursuant to Section

HB5331- 2423 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 302. Any order issued under this Section and any
2 documentation in support thereof shall be certified on the
3 next court day to the appropriate court. The clerk of that
4 court shall immediately assign a case number, file the
5 petition, order and other documents with the court, and
6 enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for
7 service, in accordance with Section 222. Filing the
8 petition shall commence proceedings for further relief
9 under Section 202. Failure to comply with the requirements
10 of this subsection shall not affect the validity of the
11 order.

13 (750 ILCS 60/220) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-20)
14 Sec. 220. Duration and extension of orders.
15 (a) Duration of emergency and interim orders. Unless
16re-opened or extended or voided by entry of an order of greater
17duration:
18 (1) Emergency orders issued under Section 217 shall be
19 effective for not less than 14 nor more than 21 days;
20 (2) Interim orders shall be effective for up to 30
21 days.
22 (b) Duration of plenary orders.
23 (0.05) A plenary order of protection entered under this
24 Act shall be valid for a fixed period of time, not to
25 exceed two years.

HB5331- 2424 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1 (1) A plenary order of protection entered in
2 conjunction with another civil proceeding shall remain in
3 effect as follows:
4 (i) if entered as preliminary relief in that other
5 proceeding, until entry of final judgment in that other
6 proceeding;
7 (ii) if incorporated into the final judgment in
8 that other proceeding, until the order of protection is
9 vacated or modified; or
10 (iii) if incorporated in an order for involuntary
11 commitment, until termination of both the involuntary
12 commitment and any voluntary commitment, or for a fixed
13 period of time not exceeding 2 years.
14 (2) Duration of an order of protection entered in
15 conjunction with a criminal prosecution or delinquency
16 petition shall remain in effect as provided in Section
17 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
18 (c) Computation of time. The duration of an order of
19protection shall not be reduced by the duration of any prior
20order of protection.
21 (d) Law enforcement records. When a plenary order of
22protection expires upon the occurrence of a specified event,
23rather than upon a specified date as provided in subsection
24(b), no expiration date shall be entered in Illinois Department
25of State Police records. To remove the plenary order from those
26records, either party shall request the clerk of the court to

HB5331- 2425 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1file a certified copy of an order stating that the specified
2event has occurred or that the plenary order has been vacated
3or modified with the Sheriff, and the Sheriff shall direct that
4law enforcement records shall be promptly corrected in
5accordance with the filed order.
6 (e) Extension of orders. Any emergency, interim or plenary
7order may be extended one or more times, as required, provided
8that the requirements of Section 217, 218 or 219, as
9appropriate, are satisfied. If the motion for extension is
10uncontested and petitioner seeks no modification of the order,
11the order may be extended on the basis of petitioner's motion
12or affidavit stating that there has been no material change in
13relevant circumstances since entry of the order and stating the
14reason for the requested extension. An extension of a plenary
15order of protection may be granted, upon good cause shown, to
16remain in effect until the order of protection is vacated or
17modified. Extensions may be granted only in open court and not
18under the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 217, which
19applies only when the court is unavailable at the close of
20business or on a court holiday.
21 (f) Termination date. Any order of protection which would
22expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the close of
23the next court business day.
24 (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
25suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for the issuance
26of an order of protection undermines the purposes of this Act.

HB5331- 2426 -LRB101 14169 WGH 70217 b
1This Section shall not be construed as encouraging that
