16 Section 6. The Gun Trafficking Information Act is amended
17by changing Section 10-5 as follows:
18 (5 ILCS 830/10-5)
19 Sec. 10-5. Gun trafficking information.
20 (a) The Illinois State Police shall use all reasonable
21efforts in making publicly available, on a regular and ongoing
22basis, key information related to firearms used in the
23commission of crimes in this State, including, but not limited
24to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, locations where

SB1957- 24 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1the crimes occurred, the number of persons killed or injured
2in the commission of the crimes, the state where the firearms
3used originated, the Federal Firearms Licensee that sold the
4firearm, the type of firearms used, annual statistical
5information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and
6concealed carry license applications, revocations, and
7compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners
8Identification Card Act, firearm restraining order
9dispositions, and firearm dealer license certification
10inspections. The Illinois State Police shall make the
11information available on its website, which may be presented

14to the General Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the
15House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in
16electronic form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the
17Secretary shall direct.
18 (b) (Blank). The Illinois State Police shall study, on a
19regular and ongoing basis, and compile reports on the number
20of Firearm Owner's Identification Card checks to determine

1Owner's Identification Card number is not personally
2identifying information, provided that no other personal
3information of the card holder is attached to the record. The
4Illinois State Police may create and attach an alternate
5unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's
6Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm
7Owner's Identification Card number itself.
8 (c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
9State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law,
10cooperate fully with the Illinois State Police and furnish the

21 Section 7. The First Responders Suicide Prevention Act is
22amended by changing Section 40 as follows:
23 (5 ILCS 840/40)
24 Sec. 40. Task Force recommendations.

SB1957- 26 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (a) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and
2organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness
3services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs
4and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving
5concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could
6be accomplished by:
7 (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee
8 assistance programs (EAPs).
9 (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated
10 healthcare plans and include more progressive options
11 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks
12 shouldered by our first responders.
13 (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service
14 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at
15 raising awareness of available assistance options.
16 (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach
17 lists of all available resources to training manuals and
18 continuing education requirements.
19 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and
20organizations sponsor or facilitate first responders with
21specialized training in the areas of psychological fitness,
22depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best
23practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
24 (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member
25 of an agency or organization to attend specialized
26 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency,

SB1957- 27 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 association, or organization recognized in their fields of
2 study.
3 (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers,
4 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified
5 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection
6 training techniques, or to provide regular access to
7 mental health professionals.
8 (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders
9 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring,
10 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and
11 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective
12 agency or organization size, frequency, and number of all
13 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
14 trainings expected respectively.
15 (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a
16 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction
17 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities,
18 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically
19 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental
20 wellness.
21 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators
22and leadership personnel solicit training services from
23evidence-based, data driven organizations. Organizations with
24personnel trained on the analytical review and interpretation
25of specific fields related to the nature of first responders'
26exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, chronic state of

SB1957- 28 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for
2expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary
3self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above.
4These objectives could be met by:
5 (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or
6 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific
7 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies
8 and organizations listed above receive grants and
9 allocations to assist communities with the very issues
10 being discussed in this Section.
11 (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first
12 responders and their families through regular messaging
13 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy
14 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals'
15 careers.
16 (3) Funding and implementing PSA campaigns that
17 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental
18 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment,
19 and recovery.
20 (4) Promoting and raising awareness of not-for-profit
21 non-for-profit organizations currently available to assist
22 individuals in search of care and treatment. Organizations
23 have intuitive user-friendly sites, most of which have
24 mobile applications, so first responders can access at a
25 moment's notice. However, because of limited funds, these
26 organizations have a challenging time of getting the word

SB1957- 29 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 out there about their existence.
2 (5) Expanding Family and Medical Leave Act protections
3 for individuals voluntarily seeking preventative
4 treatment.
5 (6) Promoting and ensuring complete patient
6 confidentiality protections.
7 (d) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and
8organizations incorporate the following training components
9into already existing modules and educational curriculums.
10Doing so could be done by:
11 (1) Bolstering academy and school curricula by
12 requiring depressive disorder training catered to PTSD,
13 substance abuse, and early detection techniques training,
14 taking into close consideration respective agency or
15 organization size, and the frequency and number of all
16 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
17 trainings expected respectively.
18 (2) Continuing to allocate or match federal and state
19 funds to maintain Mobile Mobil Training Units (MTUs).
20 (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support
21 training into already exiting statewide curriculums and
22 mandatory examinations, annual State Fire Marshal
23 examinations, and physical fitness examinations. The
24 subject matter of the certificate should have an emphasis
25 on mental health and wellness, as well as familiarization
26 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical

SB1957- 30 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 psychology, clinical behaviorist, and clinical psychiatry.
2 (4) Incorporating and performing statewide mental
3 health check-ins during the same times as already mandated
4 trainings. These checks are not to be compared or used as
5 measures of fitness for duty evaluations or structured
6 psychological examinations.
7 (5) Recommending comprehensive and evidence-based
8 training on the importance of preventative measures on the
9 topics of sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and physical
10 movement.
11 (6) (Blank). Law enforcement agencies should provide
12 training on the Firearm Owner's Identification Card Act,
13 including seeking relief from the Illinois State Police
14 under Section 10 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card
15 Act and a FOID card being a continued condition of
16 employment under Section 7.2 of the Uniform Peace
17 Officers' Disciplinary Act.

14 (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 102-466)
15 Sec. 10-22.6. Suspension or expulsion of pupils; school
16searches.
17 (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or
18misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct
19perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20)
20of this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
21expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents
22have been requested to appear at a meeting of the board, or
23with a hearing officer appointed by it, to discuss their
24child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered or

SB1957- 59 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1certified mail and shall state the time, place and purpose of
2the meeting. The board, or a hearing officer appointed by it,
3at such meeting shall state the reasons for dismissal and the
4date on which the expulsion is to become effective. If a
5hearing officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to
6the board a written summary of the evidence heard at the
7meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it finds
8appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written
9expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
10removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the
11best interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also
12include a rationale as to the specific duration of the
13expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to
14an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A
15or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer
16because of the expulsion, except in cases in which such
17transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students
18or staff in the alternative program.
19 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the
20superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
21principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
22guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend
23pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the
24school bus from riding the school bus, pursuant to subsections
25(b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action shall lie
26against them for such suspension. The board may by policy

SB1957- 60 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1authorize the superintendent of the district or the principal,
2assistant principal, or dean of students of any school to
3suspend pupils guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed
410 school days. If a pupil is suspended due to gross
5disobedience or misconduct on a school bus, the board may
6suspend the pupil in excess of 10 school days for safety
7reasons.
8 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the
9parents or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of
10the reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to
11a review. The school board must be given a summary of the
12notice, including the reason for the suspension and the
13suspension length. Upon request of the parents or guardian,
14the school board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall
15review such action of the superintendent or principal,
16assistant principal, or dean of students. At such review, the
17parents or guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the
18suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing
19officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board
20a written summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After
21its hearing or upon receipt of the written report of its
22hearing officer, the board may take such action as it finds
23appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this
24subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension
25decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or
26misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The

SB1957- 61 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1suspension decision shall also include a rationale as to the
2specific duration of the suspension. A pupil who is suspended
3in excess of 20 school days may be immediately transferred to
4an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A
5or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer
6because of the suspension, except in cases in which such
7transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students
8or staff in the alternative program.
9 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
10and consequences available to school officials, school
11exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
12are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
13and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
14extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
15only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
16students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
17recommended that school officials consider forms of
18non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
19suspensions or expulsions.
20 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
21Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
22by which school administrators are required to suspend or
23expel students for particular behaviors.
24 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be
25used only if the student's continuing presence in school would
26pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other

SB1957- 62 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this
2subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to
3other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
4a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
5School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
6such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the
7length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
8 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
9out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
10and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
11only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
12disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
13student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose
14a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
15the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
16interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
17this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
18students, staff, or members of the school community" and
19"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
20operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
21basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
22(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
23available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
24exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
25shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
26address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student

SB1957- 63 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
2suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this
3Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a)
4of this Section, it shall be documented whether other
5interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that
6there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
7 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
8than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
9support services during the period of their suspension. For
10purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
11support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
12Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
13this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
14to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
15such appropriate and available services.
16 A school district may refer students who are expelled to
17appropriate and available support services.
18 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the
19re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,
20expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
21 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
22suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
23school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
24shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
25academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
26parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil

SB1957- 64 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
2transportation to school.
3 (c) A school board must invite a representative from a
4local mental health agency to consult with the board at the
5meeting whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be
6the cause of a student's expulsion or suspension.
7 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to
8provide ongoing professional development to teachers,
9administrators, school board members, school resource
10officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school
11exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom
12management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, the
13appropriate and available supportive services for the
14promotion of student attendance and engagement, and
15developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote
16positive and healthy school climates.
17 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of
18time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
19case-by-case basis. A student who is determined to have
20brought one of the following objects to school, any
21school-sponsored activity or event, or any activity or event
22that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be
23expelled for a period of not less than one year:
24 (1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section,
25 "firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined
26 by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code,

SB1957- 65 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 firearm as defined in Section 2-7.5 1.1 of the Firearm
2 Owners Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in
3 Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The expulsion

17Education Act. A student who is subject to suspension or
18expulsion as provided in this Section may be eligible for a
19transfer to an alternative school program in accordance with
20Article 13A of the School Code.
21 (d-5) The board may suspend or by regulation authorize the
22superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
23principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
24student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
25a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
26calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i)

SB1957- 66 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1that student has been determined to have made an explicit
2threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a
3student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet
4website through which the threat was made is a site that was
5accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or
6was available to third parties who worked or studied within
7the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii)
8the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to
9the safety and security of the threatened individual because
10of his or her duties or employment status or status as a
11student inside the school.
12 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
13authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as
14lockers, desks, parking lots, and other school property and
15equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as
16personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
17without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
18search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
19Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
20privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
21left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
22the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
23conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
24lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
25controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other

6disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
7turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.

13public or private school in this or any other state, the
14student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
15expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
16of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
17under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
18school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
19or staff in the alternative program.
20 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage
21students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
22difficulties.
23 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
24disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude
25requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen,
26or damaged property.

SB1957- 68 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (j) Subsections (a) through (i) of this Section shall

12promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive
13interaction with other students and school personnel. A school
14district may employ a school social worker or a licensed
15mental health professional to oversee an in-school suspension
16program in kindergarten through grade 12.

2student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
3expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
4of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
5under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
6school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
7or staff in the alternative program. A school district that

8Disabilities Code is amended by changing Sections 1-106,
91-116, 6-103.1, 6-103.2, and 6-103.3 as follows:
10 (405 ILCS 5/1-106) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-106)
11 Sec. 1-106. "Developmental disability" means a severe,
12chronic disability, other than mental illness, found to be
13closely related to an intellectual disability because this
14condition results in impairment of general intellectual
15functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of persons
16with ID, and requires services similar to those required for a
17person with an intellectual disability. In addition, a
18developmental disability: (1) is manifested before the
19individual reaches 22 years of age; (2) is likely to continue
20indefinitely; (3) results in substantial functional
21limitations in three or more of the following areas of major
22life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language,
23learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent
24living, or economic self-sufficiency; and (4) reflects the

SB1957- 101 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1individual's need for a combination and sequence of special
2interdisciplinary or generic services, individualized
3supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or
4extended duration and are individually planned and
5coordinated. This definition does not supersede the
6"developmental disability" definition in Section 1.1 of the

11 Sec. 1-116. Intellectual disability. "Intellectual
12disability" means a disorder with onset during the
13developmental period (before the individual reaches age 22),
14that includes both intellectual and adaptive deficits in
15conceptual, social and practical domains. The following 3
16criteria must be met: (1) deficits in intellectual functions
17such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract
18thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from
19experience confirmed by both clinical assessment and
20individualized, standardized intelligence testing (generally
21indicated with an IQ score of about 70 or below), (2) deficits
22in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet
23developmental and sociocultural standards for personal
24independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing
25support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or

SB1957- 102 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1more activities of daily life, such as communication, social
2participation, and independent living, across multiple
3environments, such as home, school, work, and community, and
4(3) onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the
5developmental period. This definition does not supersede the
6"intellectual disability" definition in Section 1.1 of the

4 subsection (b), are individualized, and are in accordance
5 with national best practices as detailed in the Pretrial
6 Supervision Standards of the Supreme Court.
7 The defendant shall receive verbal and written
8notification of conditions of pretrial release and future
9court dates, including the date, time, and location of court.
10 (c) When a person is charged with an offense under Section
1111-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-13, 12-14,
1212-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
13Criminal Code of 2012, involving a victim who is a minor under
1418 years of age living in the same household with the defendant
15at the time of the offense, in releasing the defendant, the
16judge shall impose conditions to restrict the defendant's
17access to the victim which may include, but are not limited to
18conditions that he will:
19 1. Vacate the household.
20 2. Make payment of temporary support to his

25the victim is a family or household member as defined in
26Article 112A, conditions shall be imposed at the time of the

SB1957- 298 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1defendant's release that restrict the defendant's access to
2the victim. Unless provided otherwise by the court, the

9 residence for a minimum period of 72 hours following the
10 defendant's release.
11 (e) Local law enforcement agencies shall develop
12standardized pretrial release forms for use in cases involving
13family or household members as defined in Article 112A,
14including specific conditions of pretrial release as provided
15in subsection (d). Failure of any law enforcement department
16to develop or use those forms shall in no way limit the
17applicability and enforcement of subsections (d) and (f).
18 (f) If the defendant is released after conviction
19following appeal or other post-conviction proceeding, the
20conditions of the pretrial release shall be that he will, in
21addition to the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and

23 (1) Duly prosecute his appeal;
24 (2) Appear at such time and place as the court may

7defendant shall physically surrender, at a time and place
8designated by the court, any and all firearms in his or her
9possession and his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card
10as a condition of being released pending sentencing.

15misdemeanor crimes are crimes of domestic violence for
16purposes of federal law.
17 (a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of
18Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the
19Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State
20may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after
21arraignment, for the purpose of notification to the Illinois
22State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve
23on the defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that
24conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the
25prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the

SB1957- 300 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1relationship between the defendant and the alleged victim and
2the nature of the alleged offense.
3 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person
4alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the
5nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
6921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
7charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of
8physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
9set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include
10notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the
11allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation
12is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
13reported to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
14Identification Card Office.
15 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
16(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
17orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
18offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
19U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
20922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section
21112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
22U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,
23or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
24shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
25the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
26922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay

1evidence submitted by either party provided that it is
2relevant to the determination of the allegation. Facts
3previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of entry of
4a plea of guilty shall be deemed established beyond a
5reasonable doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the
6conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission,
7as applicable, the court shall make a specific written
8determination with respect to the allegation.

3 Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
4remedies.
5 (a) (Blank).
6 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
7subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
8shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
9available to petitioner.
10 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
11 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
12 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
13 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
14 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
15 prohibited.
16 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
17 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
18 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
19 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
20 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
21 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
22 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
23 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
24 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
25 Marriage Act.

SB1957- 303 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
2 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
3 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
4 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
5 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
6 person or entity other than the opposing party that
7 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
8 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
9 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
10 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
11 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
12 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
13 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
14 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
15 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
16 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
17 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
18 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
19 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
20 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
21 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
22 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
23 the accessibility of the residence or household.
24 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
25 have a right to occupancy.
26 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor

SB1957- 304 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
2 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
3 that the hardships to respondent substantially
4 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
5 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
6 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
7 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
8 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
9 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
10 household.
11 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
12 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
13 person protected by the domestic violence order of
14 protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
15 remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
16 employment, or other specified places at times when
17 petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
18 balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
19 the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
20 respondent has no right to enter the premises.
21 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
22 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
23 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
24 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
25 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
26 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove

SB1957- 305 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 items of clothing and personal adornment used
2 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
3 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
4 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
5 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
6 party or law enforcement officer.
7 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
8 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
9 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
10 domestic violence order of protection and providing
11 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
12 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
13 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
14 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
15 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
16 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
17 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
18 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
19 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
20 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
21 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
22 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
23 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
24 change of placement or change of program, as
25 determined by the school district or private or
26 non-public school, or place restrictions on the

SB1957- 306 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 respondent's movements within the school attended by
2 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
3 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
4 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
5 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
6 bears the burden of production with respect to the
7 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
8 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
9 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
10 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
11 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
12 agree with the school district's or private or
13 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
14 change of program or solely on the ground that the
15 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
16 does not take an action required to effectuate a
17 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
18 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
19 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
20 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
21 another attendance center within the respondent's
22 school district or private or non-public school, the
23 school district or private or non-public school shall
24 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
25 center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
26 court order results in a transfer of the minor

SB1957- 307 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 respondent to another attendance center, a change in
2 the respondent's placement, or a change of the
3 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
4 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
5 transportation and other costs associated with the
6 transfer or change.
7 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
8 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
9 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
10 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
11 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
12 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
13 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
14 transportation and other costs associated with the
15 change of school by the respondent.
16 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
17 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
18 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
19 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
20 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
21 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
22 domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
23 the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
24 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
25 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
26 approved partner abuse intervention program for an

SB1957- 308 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
2 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
3 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
4 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
5 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
6 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
7 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
8 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
9 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
10 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
11 in loco parentis.
12 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
13 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
14 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
15 respondent would not be in the minor child's best
16 interest.
17 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
18 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
19 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
20 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
21 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
22 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
23 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
24 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
25 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
26 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary

SB1957- 309 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
2 would not be in the child's best interest.
3 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
4 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
5 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
6 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
7 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
8 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
9 is likely to do any of the following:
10 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
11 parenting time;
12 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
13 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
14 household members;
15 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
16 child; or
17 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
18 best interests of the minor child.
19 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
20 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
21 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
22 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
23 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
24 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
25 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
26 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor

SB1957- 310 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
2 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
3 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
4 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
5 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
6 any member of petitioner's family or household from future
7 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
8 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
9 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
10 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
11 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
12 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
13 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
14 acknowledging accountability to the court.
15 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
16 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
17 concealing the child within the State.
18 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
19 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
20 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
21 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
22 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
23 child or the respondent.
24 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
25 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
26 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to

SB1957- 311 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
2 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
3 property; or
4 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
5 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
6 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
7 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
8 petitioner.
9 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
10 property is that it is marital property, the court may
11 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
12 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
13 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
14 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
15 hereafter amended.
16 No order under this provision shall affect title to
17 property.
18 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
19 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
20 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
21 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
22 if:
23 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
24 property; or
25 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
26 property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors

SB1957- 312 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 granting this remedy.
2 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
3 property is that it is marital property, the court may
4 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
5 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
6 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
7 now or hereafter amended.
8 The court may further prohibit respondent from
9 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
10 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
11 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
12 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
13 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
14 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
15 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
16 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
17 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
18 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
19 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
20 otherwise disposing of the animal.
21 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
22 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
23 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
24 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
25 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
26 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage

SB1957- 313 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
2 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
3 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
4 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
5 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
6 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
7 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
8 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
9 responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
10 significant decision-making responsibility unless
11 otherwise provided in the order.
12 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
13 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
14 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
15 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
16 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
17 reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
18 other travel expenses, including additional reasonable
19 expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
20 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
21 entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
22 property distribution from the other party under the
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

SB1957- 314 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
2 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
3 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
4 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
5 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
6 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
7 and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
8 limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
9 investigator fees, and travel costs.
10 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
11 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
12 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
13 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
14 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
15 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
16 (A) A person who is subject to an existing
17 domestic violence order of protection issued under
18 this Code may not lawfully possess firearms, stun
19 guns, or tasers weapons or a Firearm Owner's
20 Identification Card under Section 8.2 of the Firearm
21 Owners Identification Card Act.
22 (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
23 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
24 this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court
25 to be turned over to a person who is not prohibited
26 under State or federal law from possessing firearms

SB1957- 315 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 with a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card for
2 safekeeping. The court shall issue an order that the
3 respondent comply with Section 9.5 of the Firearm
4 Owners Identification Card Act.
5 (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
6 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
7 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
8 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
9 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
10 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
11 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
12 for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic
13 violence order of protection.
14 (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
15 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
16 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
17 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
18 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
19 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
20 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
21 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
22 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
23 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
24 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
25 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
26 possess firearms, and who does not reside with

SB1957- 316 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 respondent.
2 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic

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

SB1957- 319 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
2 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
3 requirements for establishing an account or
4 transferring a number, including requiring the
5 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
6 financial information, and customer preferences.
7 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
8 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
9 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
10 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
11 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
12 services to residential customers shall provide to the
13 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
14 an agent for service of orders entered under this
15 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
16 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
17 Commission within 30 days of such change.
18 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
19 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
20 each wireless telephone service provider on the
21 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
22 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
23 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
24 is provided and displayed.
25 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
26 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,

SB1957- 320 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
2 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
3 following:
4 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
5 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
6 petitioner or any family or household member,
7 including the concealment of his or her location in
8 order to evade service of process or notice, and the
9 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
10 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
11 household; and
12 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
13 abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
14 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
15 or improperly separated from the child's primary
16 caretaker.
17 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
18 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
19 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
20 limited to, the following:
21 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
22 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
23 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
24 or dependent adult in the party's care;
25 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
26 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,

SB1957- 321 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
2 care, to family, school, church, and community.
3 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
4 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
5 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
6 a minimum set forth the following:
7 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
8 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
9 of this subsection (c).
10 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
11 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
12 or continued abuse.
13 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
14 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
15 other alleged abused persons.
16 (4) (Blank).
17 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
18 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
19 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
20 child relationship has been established under the Illinois
21 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
22 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
23 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
24 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
25 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
26 administrative, or other act of another state or

SB1957- 322 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 territory, any other statute of this State, or by any
2 foreign nation establishing the father and child
3 relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
4 conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and
5 Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both
6 parties appeared in open court or at an administrative
7 hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by
8 affirmation the existence of a father and child
9 relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
10 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
11 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
12 child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
13 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
14 child be entered.
15 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
16that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
17a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
18subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
19balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
20include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
21result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
22outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
23The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
24 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
25based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
26 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless

SB1957- 323 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
2 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
3 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
4 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
5 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
6 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
7 of 2012;
8 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
9 of another;
10 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
11 avoid further abuse by respondent;
12 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
13 household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
14 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
15 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
16 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
17 or household members.

20 (725 ILCS 5/112A-14.7)
21 Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.
22 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
23Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
24addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
25petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or

SB1957- 324 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1more of the following:
2 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
3 or committing stalking;
4 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
5 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
6 court;
7 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
8 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
9 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
10 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
11 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
12 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
13 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
14 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
15 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
16 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
17 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
18 firearms; and
19 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
20 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
21 specifically named by the court.
22 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same
23public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
24school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
25providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
26continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the

SB1957- 325 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
2petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
3availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
4school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
5respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
6disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
7respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
8the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
9the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
10school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
11accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
12school district or private or non-public school, or place
13restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
14attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
15proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
16change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
17not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
18production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
19educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
20the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
21placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
22respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
23agree with the school district's or private or non-public
24school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
25or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
26consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to

SB1957- 326 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
2program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
3public, private, or non-public school attended by the
4petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
5attendance center within the respondent's school district or
6private or non-public school, the school district or private
7or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
8the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
9If the court order results in a transfer of the minor
10respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
11respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
12program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
13respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
14associated with the transfer or change.
15 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
16custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
17refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
18respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
19transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
20guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
21for transportation and other costs associated with the change
22of school by the respondent.
23 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private
24or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
25criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
26non-public school has been allowed to intervene.

SB1957- 327 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
2custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
3for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
4this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
5of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
6directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
7conduct.
8 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
9 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
10respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
11Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
12confiscate the respondent's firearms and firearm ammunition
13Firearm Owner's Identification Card and immediately return the
14card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
15Identification Card Office.

25 person has been previously convicted of a qualifying
26 predicate offense, the person shall be sentenced to a term

9age found guilty of any alcohol, cannabis or controlled
10substance violation, refrain from acquiring a driver's license
11during the period of probation or conditional discharge. If
12such person is in possession of a permit or license, the court
13may require that the minor refrain from driving or operating
14any motor vehicle during the period of probation or
15conditional discharge, except as may be necessary in the
16course of the minor's lawful employment.
17 (d) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional

SB1957- 405 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1sentence of county impact incarceration under Section 5-8-1.2.
2 Persons committed to imprisonment as a condition of
3probation or conditional discharge shall not be committed to
4the Department of Corrections.
5 (f) The court may combine a sentence of periodic
6imprisonment under Article 7 or a sentence to a county impact

12be placed on an approved electronic monitoring device, shall
13be ordered to pay all costs incidental to such mandatory drug
14or alcohol testing, or both, and all costs incidental to such
15approved electronic monitoring in accordance with the
16defendant's ability to pay those costs. The county board with
17the concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in
18which the county is located shall establish reasonable fees
19for the cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses
20related to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and
21all costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring,
22involved in a successful probation program for the county. The
23concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
24administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
25of the circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
26order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the

SB1957- 406 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1circuit court shall pay all moneys collected from these fees
2to the county treasurer who shall use the moneys collected to
3defray the costs of drug testing, alcohol testing, and
4electronic monitoring. The county treasurer shall deposit the
5fees collected in the county working cash fund under Section
66-27001 or Section 6-29002 of the Counties Code, as the case
7may be. The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
8by administrative order establish a program for electronic
9monitoring of offenders, in which a vendor supplies and
10monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring device,
11and collects the fees on behalf of the county. The program
12shall include provisions for indigent offenders and the
13collection of unpaid fees. The program shall not unduly burden
14the offender and shall be subject to review by the Chief Judge.
15 The Chief Judge of the circuit court may suspend any
16additional charges or fees for late payment, interest, or
17damage to any device.
18 (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from
19the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
20concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers
21of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The
22court to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have
23the same powers as the sentencing court. The probation
24department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
25transferred, or which has agreed to provide supervision, may
26impose probation fees upon receiving the transferred offender,

SB1957- 407 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1as provided in subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as
2defined in Section 9b of the Probation and Probation Officers
3Act, the probation department from the original sentencing
4court shall retain all probation fees collected prior to the
5transfer. After the transfer, all probation fees shall be paid
6to the probation department within the circuit to which
7jurisdiction has been transferred.
8 (i) The court shall impose upon an offender sentenced to
9probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
10after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the
11supervision of a probation or court services department after
12January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or
13conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee
14of $50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
15supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
16court, unless after determining the inability of the person
17sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
18community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
19fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
20in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
21and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
22the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
23an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
24court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
25clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
26shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county

1treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
2under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers
3Act.
4 A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
5subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
6court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
7judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
8offender's ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a
9probation fee, up to $5 of that fee collected per month may be
10used to provide services to crime victims and their families.
11 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
12offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
13re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
14with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
15Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
16offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
17offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
18probation department, or has been transferred either under
19subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate
20compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the
21department supervising the offender, based on the offender's
22ability to pay.
23 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee
24under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616.
25This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the
2693rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee

SB1957- 409 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1increase.
2 (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
3of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
4felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
5Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation
6department has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined
7in the Sex Offender Management Board Act), the court or the
8probation department shall assess additional fees to pay for
9all costs of treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and
10treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that
11offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or
12under a payment plan.
13 (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
14violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
15Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
16violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
17provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
18disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under the Criminal
19and Traffic Assessment Act.
20 (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
21conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
22the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
23court or probation department has determined to be sexually
24motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
25shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
26indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall

SB1957- 410 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
2required by the court or the probation department.
3 (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
4probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
5of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as

8 Section 95. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
9by changing Section 80 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
15requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100
16on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a
17stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the
18respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
19not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require
20physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification
21and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in
22accordance with this Act.
23 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
24the following:

SB1957- 411 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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
23high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact
24order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the
25act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
26the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the

SB1957- 412 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
2availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
3school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
4respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
5disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
6respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
7the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
8the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
9school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
10accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
11school district or private or non-public school, or place
12restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
13attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
14proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
15change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
16not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
17production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
18educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
19the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
20placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
21respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
22agree with the school district's or private or non-public
23school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
24or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
25consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
26effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of

SB1957- 413 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
2public, private, or non-public school attended by the
3petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
4attendance center within the respondent's school district or
5private or non-public school, the school district or private
6or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
7the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
8In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
9respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
10respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
11program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
12respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
13associated with the transfer or change.
14 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
15custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
16refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
17respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
18orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
19parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
20responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
21the change of school by the respondent.
22 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or
23private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
24or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
25non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
26 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal

SB1957- 414 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
2for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
3this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
4this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
5directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
6conduct.
7 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
8fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
9 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
10 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
11respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
12Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
13confiscate the respondent's firearms Firearm Owner's
14Identification Card and immediately return the card to the
15Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
16Office.

19supporting affidavits, if any, and any emergency order of
20protection that has been issued. The enforcement of an order
21of protection under Section 223 shall not be affected by the
22lack of service, delivery, or notice, provided the
23requirements of subsection (d) of that Section are otherwise
24met.
25 (b) Blank.

SB1957- 423 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b

2sheriff or other law enforcement officer at the earliest time
3and shall take precedence over other summonses except those of
4a similar emergency nature. Special process servers may be
5appointed at any time, and their designation shall not affect
6the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other
7official process servers. In counties with a population over
83,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if
9the order of protection grants the surrender of a child, the
10surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card,
11or the exclusive possession of a shared residence.
12 (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling,
13payment of support, payment of shelter services, and payment

20be adequate for the remedies provided by paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5,
216, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 17 of subsection (b) of Section
22214, but only if: (i) petitioner has made all reasonable
23efforts to accomplish actual service of process personally
24upon respondent, but respondent cannot be found to effect such
25service and (ii) petitioner files an affidavit or presents
26sworn testimony as to those efforts.

SB1957- 424 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (f) Default. A plenary order of protection may be entered
2by default as follows:
3 (1) For any of the remedies sought in the petition, if
4 respondent has been served or given notice in accordance
5 with subsection (a) and if respondent then fails to appear
6 as directed or fails to appear on any subsequent
7 appearance or hearing date agreed to by the parties or set
8 by the court; or
9 (2) For any of the remedies provided in accordance

20 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
21 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
22 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
23has been abused by a family or household member or that
24petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused,
25neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of

SB1957- 425 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
2shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
3requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
4Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
5orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not
6be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
7respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
8not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
9physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
10Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
11be in accordance with this Act.
12 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
13an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
14this Section and one of the following Sections, as
15appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on
16interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
17remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to
18other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
19 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
20 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
21 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
22 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
23 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
24 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
25 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
26 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not

SB1957- 426 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 prohibited.
2 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
3 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
4 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
5 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
6 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
7 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
8 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
9 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
10 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
11 Marriage Act.
12 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
13 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
14 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
15 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
16 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
17 person or entity other than the opposing party that
18 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
19 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
20 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
21 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
22 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
23 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
24 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
25 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
26 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to

SB1957- 427 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
2 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
3 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
4 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
5 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
6 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
7 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
8 the accessibility of the residence or household.
9 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
10 have a right to occupancy.
11 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
12 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
13 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
14 that the hardships to respondent substantially
15 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
16 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
17 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
18 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
19 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
20 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
21 household.
22 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
23 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
24 person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
25 respondent from entering or remaining present at
26 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other

SB1957- 428 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
2 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
3 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
4 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
5 right to enter the premises.
6 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
7 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
8 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
9 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
10 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
11 access to the residence to remove items of clothing
12 and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
13 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
14 right to access shall be exercised on only one
15 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
16 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
17 officer.
18 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
19 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
20 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
21 order of protection and providing relief shall
22 consider the severity of the act, any continuing
23 physical danger or emotional distress to the
24 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
25 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law,
26 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to

SB1957- 429 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 another school, a change of placement or a change of
2 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
3 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
4 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
5 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
6 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
7 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
8 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
9 change of placement or change of program, as
10 determined by the school district or private or
11 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
12 respondent's movements within the school attended by
13 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
14 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
15 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
16 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
17 bears the burden of production with respect to the
18 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
19 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
20 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
21 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
22 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
23 agree with the school district's or private or
24 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
25 change of program or solely on the ground that the
26 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise

SB1957- 430 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 does not take an action required to effectuate a
2 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
3 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
4 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
5 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
6 another attendance center within the respondent's
7 school district or private or non-public school, the
8 school district or private or non-public school shall
9 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
10 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
11 event the court order results in a transfer of the
12 minor respondent to another attendance center, a
13 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
14 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
15 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16 transportation and other costs associated with the
17 transfer or change.
18 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
19 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
20 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
21 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
22 the event the court orders a transfer of the
23 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
24 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
25 for transportation and other costs associated with the
26 change of school by the respondent.

SB1957- 431 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
2 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
3 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
4 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
5 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
6 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
7 domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
8 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
9 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
10 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
11 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
12 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
13 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
14 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
15 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
16 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
17 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
18 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
19 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
20 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
21 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
22 in loco parentis.
23 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
24 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
25 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
26 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the

SB1957- 432 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 minor child's best interest.
2 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
3 significant decision-making. Award temporary
4 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
5 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
6 of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
7 this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
8 Enforcement Act.
9 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
10 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
11 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
12 awarding temporary significant decision-making
13 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
14 best interest.
15 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
16 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
17 physical care or allocates temporary significant
18 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
19 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
20 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
21 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
22 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
23 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
24 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
25 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
26 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner

SB1957- 433 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
2 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
3 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
4 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the
5 order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time
6 to take place or other specific parameters or conditions
7 that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
8 refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
9 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
10 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
11 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
12 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
13 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
14 in a violent or abusive manner.
15 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
16 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
17 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
18 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
19 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
20 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
21 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
22 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
23 acknowledging accountability to the court.
24 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
25 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
26 concealing the child within the State.

SB1957- 434 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
2 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
3 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
4 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to
5 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
6 child or the respondent.
7 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
8 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
9 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
10 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
11 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
12 property; or
13 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
14 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
15 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
16 temporary possession by petitioner.
17 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
18 property is that it is marital property, the court may
19 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
20 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
21 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
22 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
23 hereafter amended.
24 No order under this provision shall affect title to
25 property.
26 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent

SB1957- 435 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
2 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
3 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
4 if:
5 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
6 property; or
7 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
8 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
9 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
10 property is that it is marital property, the court may
11 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
12 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
13 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
14 now or hereafter amended.
15 The court may further prohibit respondent from
16 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
17 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
18 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
19 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
20 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
21 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
22 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
23 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
24 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
25 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
26 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or

SB1957- 436 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 otherwise disposing of the animal.
2 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
3 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
4 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
5 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
6 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
7 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
8 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
9 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
10 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
11 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
12 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
13 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
14 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
15 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
16 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
17 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
18 provided in the order.
19 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
20 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
21 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
22 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
23 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
24 property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
25 court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
26 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and

SB1957- 437 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 restaurant meals.
2 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
3 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
4 property distribution from the other party under the
5 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
6 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
7 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
8 the extent that such reimbursement would be
9 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
10 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
11 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
12 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
13 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
14 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
15 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
16 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
17 investigator fees, and travel costs.
18 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
19 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
20 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
21 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
22 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
23 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
24 (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
25 protection was issued from possessing any firearms
26 during the duration of the order if the order:

SB1957- 438 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
2 person received actual notice, and at which such
3 person had an opportunity to participate;
4 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
5 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
6 such person or child of such intimate partner or
7 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
8 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
9 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
10 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
11 represents a credible threat to the physical
12 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
13 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
14 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
15 against such intimate partner or child that would
16 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
17 Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
18 possession of the respondent, except as provided in
19 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
20 turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
21 local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
22 the card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
23 Identification Card Office for safekeeping. The court
24 shall issue a warrant for seizure of any firearm in the
25 possession of the respondent, to be kept by the local
26 law enforcement agency for safekeeping, except as

SB1957- 439 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 provided in subsection (b). The period of safekeeping
2 shall be for the duration of the order of protection.
3 The firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's
4 Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at the
5 respondent's request, be returned to the respondent at
6 the end of the order of protection. It is the
7 respondent's responsibility to notify the Illinois
8 State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
9 Office.
10 (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as
11 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
12 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
13 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
14 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
15 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
16 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
17 for safekeeping for the duration of the order of
18 protection.
19 (c) 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
22 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
23 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
24 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
25 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
26 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the

SB1957- 440 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
2 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
3 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
4 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
5 possess firearms, and who does not reside with
6 respondent.
7 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
8 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
9 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
10 under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
11 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
12 minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,
13 and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
14 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
15 records of the minor child who is in the care of
16 petitioner.
17 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
18 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
19 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
20 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
21 deemed reasonable by the court.
22 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
23 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
24 of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect,
25 or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or
26 to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by

SB1957- 441 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by
2 the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
3 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
4 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
5 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
6 (18) Telephone services.
7 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
8 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
9 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
10 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
11 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
12 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
13 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
14 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
15 For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term
16 "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider
17 of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C.
18 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each
19 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
20 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
21 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone
22 service provider's agent for service of process
23 provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The
24 order shall contain all of the following:
25 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
26 the account holder including the name of the

SB1957- 442 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 wireless telephone service provider that serves
2 the account.
3 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
4 transferred.
5 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
6 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
7 and right to the use of any telephone number
8 transferred under this paragraph.
9 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
10 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
11 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or

18 (ii) A difference in network technology would
19 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on

23 to the petitioner.
24 (iv) Another technological or operational
25 issue would prevent or impair the use of the

SB1957- 443 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b

7 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
8 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
9 requirements for establishing an account or
10 transferring a number, including requiring the
11 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
12 financial information, and customer preferences.
13 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
14 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
15 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
16 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
17 (F) All wireless service providers that provide

26 each wireless telephone service provider on the

SB1957- 444 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
2 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
3 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
4 is provided and displayed.
5 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
6 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
7 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
8 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
9 following:
10 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
11 consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
12 or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
13 household member, including the concealment of his or
14 her location in order to evade service of process or
15 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
16 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
17 of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;
18 and
19 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
20 abused 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

SB1957- 445 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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
5 or 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)
16 of 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
24 order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
25 a supplement to making the findings described in
26 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this

SB1957- 446 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 subsection, may use 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
14 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
15 child 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,
21 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
22 administrative, or other act of another state or
23 territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
24 nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
25 other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
26 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity

SB1957- 447 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b
1 Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
2 both parties appeared in open court or at an
3 administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
4 admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
5 child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
6 or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
7 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
8 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
9 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
10 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
11 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
12that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
13a remedy 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
17result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
18outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
19The findings shall 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

SB1957- 448 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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
7 avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
8 respondent;
9 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
10 household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation
11 by respondent;
12 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
13 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
14 that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
15 or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
16 household members.
