20organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness
21services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs
22and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving
23concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could
24be accomplished by:

HB1270- 26 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee
2 assistance programs (EAPs).
3 (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated
4 healthcare plans and include more progressive options
5 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks
6 shouldered by our first responders.
7 (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service
8 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at
9 raising awareness of available assistance options.
10 (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach
11 lists of all available resources to training manuals and
12 continuing education requirements.
13 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and
14organizations sponsor or facilitate first responders with
15specialized training in the areas of psychological fitness,
16depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best
17practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
18 (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member
19 of an agency or organization to attend specialized
20 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency,
21 association, or organization recognized in their fields of
22 study.
23 (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers,
24 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified
25 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection
26 training techniques, or to provide regular access to

HB1270- 27 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 mental health professionals.
2 (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders
3 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring,
4 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and
5 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective
6 agency or organization size, frequency, and number of all
7 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
8 trainings expected respectively.
9 (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a
10 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction
11 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities,
12 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically
13 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental
14 wellness.
15 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators
16and leadership personnel solicit training services from
17evidence-based, data driven organizations. Organizations with
18personnel trained on the analytical review and interpretation
19of specific fields related to the nature of first responders'
20exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, chronic state of
21duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for
22expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary
23self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above.
24These objectives could be met by:
25 (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or
26 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific

HB1270- 28 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies
2 and organizations listed above receive grants and
3 allocations to assist communities with the very issues
4 being discussed in this Section.
5 (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first
6 responders and their families through regular messaging
7 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy
8 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals'
9 careers.
10 (3) Funding and implementing PSA campaigns that
11 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental
12 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment,
13 and recovery.
14 (4) Promoting and raising awareness of not-for-profit
15 non-for-profit organizations currently available to assist
16 individuals in search of care and treatment. Organizations
17 have intuitive user-friendly sites, most of which have
18 mobile applications, so first responders can access at a
19 moment's notice. However, because of limited funds, these
20 organizations have a challenging time of getting the word
21 out there about their existence.
22 (5) Expanding Family and Medical Leave Act protections
23 for individuals voluntarily seeking preventative
24 treatment.
25 (6) Promoting and ensuring complete patient
26 confidentiality protections.

13 funds to maintain Mobile Mobil Training Units (MTUs).
14 (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support
15 training into already exiting statewide curriculums and
16 mandatory examinations, annual State Fire Marshal
17 examinations, and physical fitness examinations. The
18 subject matter of the certificate should have an emphasis
19 on mental health and wellness, as well as familiarization
20 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical
21 psychology, clinical behaviorist, and clinical psychiatry.
22 (4) Incorporating and performing statewide mental
23 health check-ins during the same times as already mandated
24 trainings. These checks are not to be compared or used as
25 measures of fitness for duty evaluations or structured
26 psychological examinations.

HB1270- 30 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (5) Recommending comprehensive and evidence-based
2 training on the importance of preventative measures on the
3 topics of sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and physical

3the board a written summary of the evidence heard at the
4meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it finds
5appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written
6expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
7removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the
8best interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also

15or staff in the alternative program.
16 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the
17superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
18principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
19guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend
20pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the

2disobedience or misconduct on a school bus, the board may
3suspend the pupil in excess of 10 school days for safety
4reasons.
5 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the
6parents or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of
7the reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to

5or staff in the alternative program.
6 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
7and consequences available to school officials, school
8exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
9are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
10and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
11extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
12only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
13students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
14recommended that school officials consider forms of
15non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
16suspensions or expulsions.
17 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this

2School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
3such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the
4length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.

11a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
12the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
13interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
14this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
15students, staff, or members of the school community" and
16"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
17operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
18basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection

19suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
20school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
21shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
22academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
23parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil
24suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
25transportation to school.
26 (c) A school board must invite a representative from a

HB1270- 66 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b

13positive and healthy school climates.
14 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of
15time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
16case-by-case basis. A student who is determined to have

12expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
13of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
14under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
15school district if there is no threat to the safety of students

1personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
2without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
3search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
4Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
5privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
6left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
7the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
8conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
9lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
10controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
11illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including
12searches conducted through the use of specially trained dogs.
13If a search conducted in accordance with this Section produces
14evidence that the student has violated or is violating either
15the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
16such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
17disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
18turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.

26expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A

HB1270- 81 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
2under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
3school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
4or staff in the alternative program. A school district that
5adopts a policy under this subsection (g) must include a
6provision allowing for consideration of any mitigating
7factors, including, but not limited to, a student's status as
8a parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual
9violence, as defined in Article 26A.
10 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage
11students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
12difficulties.
13 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
14disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude

18apply to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools,
19special charter districts, and school districts organized

26suspension program provided by a school district for any

HB1270- 82 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on
2promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive
3interaction with other students and school personnel. A school
4district may employ a school social worker or a licensed
5mental health professional to oversee an in-school suspension
6program in kindergarten through grade 12.

7 Sec. 112A-11.1. Procedure for determining whether certain
8misdemeanor crimes are crimes of domestic violence for
9purposes of federal law.
10 (a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of
11Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the
12Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State
13may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after
14arraignment, for the purpose of notification to the Illinois
15State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve
16on the defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that
17conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the
18prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the
19relationship between the defendant and the alleged victim and
20the nature of the alleged offense.
21 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person
22alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the
23nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
24921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
25charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of

HB1270- 282 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
2set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include
3notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the
4allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation
5is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
6reported to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
7Identification Card Office.
8 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
9(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
10orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
11offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
12U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
13922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section
14112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
15U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,
16or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
17shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
18the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
19922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay
20evidence submitted by either party provided that it is
21relevant to the determination of the allegation. Facts
22previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of entry of
23a plea of guilty shall be deemed established beyond a
24reasonable doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the
25conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission,
26as applicable, the court shall make a specific written

HB1270- 283 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1determination with respect to the allegation.

21 Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
22remedies.
23 (a) (Blank).
24 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this

HB1270- 284 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
2shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
3available to petitioner.
4 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
5 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
6 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
7 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
8 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
9 prohibited.
10 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
11 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
12 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
13 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
14 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
15 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
16 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
17 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
18 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
19 Marriage Act.
20 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
21 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
22 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
23 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
24 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
25 person or entity other than the opposing party that
26 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic

HB1270- 285 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
2 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
3 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
4 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
5 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
6 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
7 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
8 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
9 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
10 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
11 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
12 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
13 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
14 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
15 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
16 the accessibility of the residence or household.
17 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
18 have a right to occupancy.
19 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
20 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
21 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
22 that the hardships to respondent substantially
23 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
24 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
25 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
26 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,

HB1270- 286 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
2 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
3 household.
4 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
5 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
6 person protected by the domestic violence order of
7 protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
8 remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
9 employment, or other specified places at times when
10 petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
11 balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
12 the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
13 respondent has no right to enter the premises.
14 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
15 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
16 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
17 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
18 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
19 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
20 items of clothing and personal adornment used
21 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
22 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
23 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
24 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
25 party or law enforcement officer.
26 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend

HB1270- 287 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
2 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
3 domestic violence order of protection and providing
4 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
5 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
6 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
7 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
8 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
9 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
10 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
11 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
12 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
13 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
14 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
15 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
16 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
17 change of placement or change of program, as
18 determined by the school district or private or
19 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
20 respondent's movements within the school attended by
21 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
22 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
23 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
24 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
25 bears the burden of production with respect to the
26 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that

HB1270- 288 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
2 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
3 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
4 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
5 agree with the school district's or private or
6 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
7 change of program or solely on the ground that the
8 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
9 does not take an action required to effectuate a
10 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
11 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
12 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
13 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
14 another attendance center within the respondent's
15 school district or private or non-public school, the
16 school district or private or non-public school shall
17 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
18 center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
19 court order results in a transfer of the minor
20 respondent to another attendance center, a change in
21 the respondent's placement, or a change of the
22 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
23 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
24 transportation and other costs associated with the
25 transfer or change.
26 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or

HB1270- 289 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
2 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
3 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
4 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
5 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
6 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
7 transportation and other costs associated with the
8 change of school by the respondent.
9 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
10 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
11 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
12 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
13 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
14 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
15 domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
16 the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
17 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
18 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
19 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
20 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
21 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
22 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
23 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
24 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
25 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
26 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical

HB1270- 290 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
2 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
3 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
4 in loco parentis.
5 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
6 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
7 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
8 respondent would not be in the minor child's best
9 interest.
10 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
11 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
12 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
13 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
14 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
15 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
16 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
17 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
18 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
19 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
20 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
21 would not be in the child's best interest.
22 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
23 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
24 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
25 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
26 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a

HB1270- 291 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
2 is likely to do any of the following:
3 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
4 parenting time;
5 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
6 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
7 household members;
8 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
9 child; or
10 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
11 best interests of the minor child.
12 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
13 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
14 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
15 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
16 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
17 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
18 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
19 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
20 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
21 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
22 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
23 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
24 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
25 any member of petitioner's family or household from future
26 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to

HB1270- 292 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
2 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
3 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
4 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
5 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
6 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
7 acknowledging accountability to the court.
8 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
9 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
10 concealing the child within the State.
11 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
12 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
13 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
14 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
15 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
16 child or the respondent.
17 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
18 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
19 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
20 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
21 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
22 property; or
23 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
24 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
25 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
26 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by

HB1270- 293 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 petitioner.
2 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
3 property is that it is marital property, the court may
4 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
5 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
6 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
7 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
8 hereafter amended.
9 No order under this provision shall affect title to
10 property.
11 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
12 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
13 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
14 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
15 if:
16 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
17 property; or
18 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
19 property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
20 granting this remedy.
21 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
22 property is that it is marital property, the court may
23 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
24 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
25 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
26 now or hereafter amended.

HB1270- 294 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 The court may further prohibit respondent from
2 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
3 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
4 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
5 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
6 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
7 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
8 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
9 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
10 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
11 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
12 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
13 otherwise disposing of the animal.
14 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
15 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
16 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
17 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
18 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
19 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
20 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
21 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
22 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
23 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
24 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
25 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
26 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall

HB1270- 295 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
2 responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
3 significant decision-making responsibility unless
4 otherwise provided in the order.
5 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
6 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
7 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
8 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
9 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
10 reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
11 other travel expenses, including additional reasonable
12 expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
13 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
14 entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
15 property distribution from the other party under the
16 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
17 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
18 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
19 the extent that such reimbursement would be
20 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
21 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
22 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
23 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
24 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
25 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
26 and recovery of the minor child, including, but not

HB1270- 296 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
2 investigator fees, and travel costs.
3 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
4 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
5 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
6 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
7 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
8 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
9 (A) A person who is subject to an existing
10 domestic violence order of protection issued under
11 this Code may not lawfully possess weapons or a
12 Firearm Owner's Identification Card under Section 8.2
13 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.
14 (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
15 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
16 this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court
17 to be turned over to a person eligible under federal or
18 State law to possess a firearm with a valid Firearm
19 Owner's Identification Card for safekeeping. The court
20 shall issue an order that the respondent comply with
21 Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card
22 Act.
23 (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
24 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
25 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
26 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a

HB1270- 297 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
2 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
3 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
4 for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic
5 violence order of protection.
6 (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
7 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
8 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
9 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
10 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
11 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
12 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
13 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
14 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
15 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
16 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
17 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
18 possess firearms, and who does not reside with
19 respondent.
20 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic
21 violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
22 having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
23 address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
24 of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
25 removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
26 deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from

HB1270- 298 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain,
2 school or any other records of the minor child who is in
3 the care of petitioner.
4 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
5 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
6 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
7 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
8 deemed reasonable by the court.
9 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
10 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
11 of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
12 granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
13 hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction
14 is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
15 in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
16 designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to
17 establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
18 (18) Telephone services.
19 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
20 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
21 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
22 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
23 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
24 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
25 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
26 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In

HB1270- 299 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
2 service provider" means a provider of commercial
3 mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The
4 petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone
5 number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or
6 her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve
7 the order on the wireless telephone service provider's
8 agent for service of process provided to the Illinois
9 Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of
10 the following:
11 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
12 the account holder including the name of the
13 wireless telephone service provider that serves
14 the account.
15 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
16 transferred.
17 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
18 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
19 and right to the use of any telephone number
20 transferred under this paragraph.
21 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
22 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
23 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
24 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
25 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
26 hours after it receives the order, that one of the

HB1270- 300 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 following applies:
2 (i) The account holder named in the order has
3 terminated the account.
4 (ii) A difference in network technology would
5 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
6 a network if the transfer occurs.
7 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
8 other limitation on network or service provision
9 to the petitioner.
10 (iv) Another technological or operational
11 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
12 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
13 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
14 responsibility for and right to the use of any
15 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
16 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
17 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
18 mobile device associated with the number.
19 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
20 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
21 requirements for establishing an account or
22 transferring a number, including requiring the
23 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
24 financial information, and customer preferences.
25 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
26 wireless telephone service provider is immune from

HB1270- 301 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
2 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
3 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
4 services to residential customers shall provide to the
5 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
6 an agent for service of orders entered under this
7 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
8 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
9 Commission within 30 days of such change.
10 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
11 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
12 each wireless telephone service provider on the
13 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
14 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
15 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
16 is provided and displayed.
17 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
18 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
19 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
20 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
21 following:
22 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
23 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
24 petitioner or any family or household member,
25 including the concealment of his or her location in
26 order to evade service of process or notice, and the

HB1270- 302 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
2 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
3 household; and
4 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
5 abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
6 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
7 or improperly separated from the child's primary
8 caretaker.
9 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
10 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
11 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
12 limited to, the following:
13 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
14 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
15 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
16 or dependent adult in the party's care;
17 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
18 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
19 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
20 care, to family, school, church, and community.
21 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
22 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
23 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
24 a minimum set forth the following:
25 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
26 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)

HB1270- 303 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 of this subsection (c).
2 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
3 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
4 or continued abuse.
5 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
6 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
7 other alleged abused persons.
8 (4) (Blank).
9 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
10 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
11 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
12 child relationship has been established under the Illinois
13 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
14 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
15 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
16 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
17 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
18 administrative, or other act of another state or
19 territory, any other statute of this State, or by any
20 foreign nation establishing the father and child
21 relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
22 conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and
23 Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both
24 parties appeared in open court or at an administrative
25 hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by
26 affirmation the existence of a father and child

HB1270- 304 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
2 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
3 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
4 child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
5 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
6 child be entered.
7 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
8that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
9a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
10subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
11balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
12include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
13result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
14outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
15The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
16 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
17based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
18 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
19 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
20 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
21 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
22 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
23 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
24 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
25 of 2012;
26 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense

HB1270- 305 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 of another;
2 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
3 avoid further abuse by respondent;
4 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
5 household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
6 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
7 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
8 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
9 or household members.

12 (725 ILCS 5/112A-14.7)
13 Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.
14 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
15Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
16addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
17petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or
18more of the following:
19 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
20 or committing stalking;
21 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
22 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
23 court;
24 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
25 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance

HB1270- 306 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
2 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
3 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
4 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
5 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
6 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
7 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
8 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
9 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
10 firearms; and
11 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
12 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
13 specifically named by the court.
14 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same
15public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
16school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
17providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
18continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
19petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
20petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
21availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
22school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
23respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
24disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
25respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
26the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend

HB1270- 307 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
2school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
3accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
4school district or private or non-public school, or place
5restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
6attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
7proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
8change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
9not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
10production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
11educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
12the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
13placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
14respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
15agree with the school district's or private or non-public
16school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
17or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
18consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
19effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
20program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
21public, private, or non-public school attended by the
22petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
23attendance center within the respondent's school district or
24private or non-public school, the school district or private
25or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
26the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.

HB1270- 308 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1If the court order results in a transfer of the minor
2respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
3respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
4program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
5respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
6associated with the transfer or change.
7 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
8custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
9refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
10respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
11transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
12guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
13for transportation and other costs associated with the change
14of school by the respondent.
15 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private
16or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
17criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
18non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
19 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
20custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
21for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
22this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
23of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
24directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
25conduct.
26 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.

HB1270- 309 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
2respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
3Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
4confiscate the respondent's firearms Firearm Owner's
5Identification Card and immediately return the card to the
6Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
7Office.

10 Sec. 112A-17.5. Ex parte protective orders.
11 (a) The petitioner may request expedited consideration of
12the petition for an ex parte protective order. The court shall
13consider the request on an expedited basis without requiring
14the respondent's presence or requiring notice to the
15respondent.
16 (b) Issuance of ex parte protective orders in cases
17involving domestic violence. An ex parte domestic violence
18order of protection shall be issued if petitioner satisfies
19the requirements of this subsection (b) for one or more of the
20requested remedies. For each remedy requested, petitioner
21shall establish that:
22 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
23 this Code;
24 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
25 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and

HB1270- 310 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
2 regardless of prior service of process or notice upon the
3 respondent, because:
4 (A) for the remedy of prohibition of abuse
5 described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of
6 Section 112A-14 of this Code; stay away order and
7 additional prohibitions described in paragraph (3) of
8 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
9 removal or concealment of minor child described in
10 paragraph (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
11 this Code; order to appear described in paragraph (9)
12 of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
13 physical care and possession of the minor child
14 described in paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of
15 Section 112A-14 of this Code; protection of property
16 described in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of
17 Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of entry
18 described in paragraph (14) of subsection (b) of
19 Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of firearm
20 possession described in paragraph (14.5) of subsection
21 (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of
22 access to records described in paragraph (15) of
23 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
24 injunctive relief described in paragraph (16) of
25 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; and
26 telephone services described in paragraph (18) of

HB1270- 311 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, the
2 harm which that remedy is intended to prevent would be
3 likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior
4 notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of
5 the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;
6 (B) for the remedy of grant of exclusive
7 possession of residence described in paragraph (2) of
8 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; the
9 immediate danger of further abuse of the petitioner by
10 the respondent, if the petitioner chooses or had
11 chosen to remain in the residence or household while
12 the respondent was given any prior notice or greater
13 notice than was actually given of the petitioner's
14 efforts to obtain judicial relief outweighs the
15 hardships to the respondent of an emergency order
16 granting the petitioner exclusive possession of the
17 residence or household; and the remedy shall not be
18 denied because the petitioner has or could obtain
19 temporary shelter elsewhere while prior notice is
20 given to the respondent, unless the hardship to the
21 respondent from exclusion from the home substantially
22 outweigh the hardship to the petitioner; or
23 (C) for the remedy of possession of personal
24 property described in paragraph (10) of subsection (b)
25 of Section 112A-14 of this Code; improper disposition
26 of the personal property would be likely to occur if

HB1270- 312 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
2 notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
3 efforts to obtain judicial relief or the petitioner
4 has an immediate and pressing need for the possession
5 of that property.
6 An ex parte domestic violence order of protection may not
7include the counseling, custody, or payment of support or
8monetary compensation remedies provided by paragraphs (4),
9(12), (13), and (16) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
10this Code.
11 (c) Issuance of ex parte civil no contact order in cases
12involving sexual offenses. An ex parte civil no contact order
13shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that:
14 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
15 this Code;
16 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
17 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
18 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
19 regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
20 the respondent, because the harm which that remedy is
21 intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
22 respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice
23 than was actually given, of the petitioner's efforts to
24 obtain judicial relief.
25 The court may order any of the remedies under Section
26112A-14.5 of this Code.

HB1270- 313 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (d) Issuance of ex parte stalking no contact order in
2cases involving stalking offenses. An ex parte stalking no
3contact order shall be issued if the petitioner establishes
4that:
5 (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
6 this Code;
7 (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
8 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
9 (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
10 regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
11 the respondent, because the harm which that remedy is
12 intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
13 respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice
14 than was actually given, of the petitioner's efforts to
15 obtain judicial relief.
16 The court may order any of the remedies under Section
17112A-14.7 of this Code.
18 (e) Issuance of ex parte protective orders on court
19holidays and evenings.
20 When the court is unavailable at the close of business,
21the petitioner may file a petition for an ex parte protective
22order before any available circuit judge or associate judge
23who may grant relief under this Article. If the judge finds
24that petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites in subsection
25(b), (c), or (d) of this Section, the judge shall issue an ex
26parte protective order.

HB1270- 314 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 The chief judge of the circuit court may designate for
2each county in the circuit at least one judge to be reasonably
3available to issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or
4otherwise, an ex parte protective order at all times, whether
5or not the court is in session.
6 The judge who issued the order under this Section shall
7promptly communicate or convey the order to the sheriff to
8facilitate the entry of the order into the Law Enforcement
9Agencies Data System by the Illinois State Police under
10Section 112A-28 of this Code. Any order issued under this
11Section and any documentation in support of it shall be
12certified on the next court day to the appropriate court. The
13clerk of that court shall immediately assign a case number,
14file the petition, order, and other documents with the court
15and enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for
16service under subsection (f) of this Section. Failure to
17comply with the requirements of this subsection (e) shall not
18affect the validity of the order.
19 (f) Service of ex parte protective order on respondent.
20 (1) If an ex parte protective order is entered at the
21 time a summons or arrest warrant is issued for the
22 criminal charge, the petition for the protective order,
23 any supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte
24 protective order that has been issued shall be served with
25 the summons or arrest warrant. The enforcement of a
26 protective order under Section 112A-23 of this Code shall

HB1270- 315 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 not be affected by the lack of service or delivery,
2 provided the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
3 112A-23 of this Code are otherwise met.
4 (2) If an ex parte protective order is entered after a
5 summons or arrest warrant is issued and before the
6 respondent makes an initial appearance in the criminal
7 case, the summons shall be in the form prescribed by
8 subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101, except that it
9 shall require respondent to answer or appear within 7 days
10 and shall be accompanied by the petition for the
11 protective order, any supporting affidavits, if any, and
12 the ex parte protective order that has been issued.
13 (3) If an ex parte protective order is entered after
14 the respondent has been served notice of a petition for a
15 final protective order and the respondent has requested a
16 continuance to respond to the petition, the ex parte
17 protective order shall be served: (A) in open court if the
18 respondent is present at the proceeding at which the order
19 was entered; or (B) by summons in the form prescribed by
20 subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101.
21 (4) No fee shall be charged for service of summons.
22 (5) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or
23 other law enforcement officer at the earliest time and
24 shall take precedence over other summonses except those of
25 a similar emergency nature. Special process servers may be
26 appointed at any time, and their designation shall not

HB1270- 316 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 affect the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff
2 or other official process servers. In a county with a
3 population over 3,000,000, a special process server may
4 not be appointed if an ex parte protective order grants
5 the surrender of a child, the surrender of a firearm or
6 Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the exclusive
7 possession of a shared residence. Process may be served in
8 court.
9 (g) Upon 7 days' notice to the petitioner, or a shorter
10notice period as the court may prescribe, a respondent subject
11to an ex parte protective order may appear and petition the
12court to re-hear the petition. Any petition to re-hear shall
13be verified and shall allege the following:
14 (1) that respondent did not receive prior notice of
15 the initial hearing in which the ex parte protective order
16 was entered under Section 112A-17.5 of this Code; and
17 (2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the
18 order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of
19 its remedies was not authorized under this Article.
20 The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the
21evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at
22a hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at
23the hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense
24by a preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to
25vacate the protective order or modify the remedies.
26 (h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner

HB1270- 317 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of
2respondent seeks to re-open or vacate that grant, the court
3shall set a date for hearing within 14 days on all issues
4relating to exclusive possession. Under no circumstances shall
5a court continue a hearing concerning exclusive possession
6beyond the 14th day except by agreement of the petitioner and
7the respondent. Other issues raised by the pleadings may be
8consolidated for the hearing if the petitioner, the
9respondent, and the court do not object.
10 (i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte
11order shall remain in effect until the court considers the
12request for a final protective order after notice has been
13served on the respondent or a default final protective order

14damage to any device.
15 (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from
16the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
17concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers
18of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The
19court to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have
20the same powers as the sentencing court. The probation
21department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
22transferred, or which has agreed to provide supervision, may
23impose probation fees upon receiving the transferred offender,
24as provided in subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as
25defined in Section 9b of the Probation and Probation Officers
26Act, the probation department from the original sentencing

HB1270- 398 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b

13court, unless after determining the inability of the person
14sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
15community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
16fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
17in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
18and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
19the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
20an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
21court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
22clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
23shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
24treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund

1 A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
2subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
3court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
4judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
5offender's ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a
6probation fee, up to $5 of that fee collected per month may be
7used to provide services to crime victims and their families.
8 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
9offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
10re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
11with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
12Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
13offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
14offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
15probation department, or has been transferred either under
16subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate
17compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the
18department supervising the offender, based on the offender's
19ability to pay.
20 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee
21under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616.
22This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the
2393rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
24increase.
25 (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
26of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a

HB1270- 400 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
2Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation
3department has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined
4in the Sex Offender Management Board Act), the court or the
5probation department shall assess additional fees to pay for
6all costs of treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and
7treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that
8offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or
9under a payment plan.
10 (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
11violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
12Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
13violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
14provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
15disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under the Criminal
16and Traffic Assessment Act.
17 (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
18conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
19the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
20court or probation department has determined to be sexually
21motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
22shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
23indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
24be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
25required by the court or the probation department.
26 (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to

13to allow a probation officer of the department who is
14honorably retiring in good standing to purchase either one or
15both of the following: (1) any badge previously issued to the
16probation officer by the department; or (2) if the probation
17officer has a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification
18Card, the service firearm issued or previously issued to the
19probation officer by the department. The badge must be
20permanently and conspicuously marked in such a manner that the
21individual who possesses the badge is not mistaken for an
22actively serving law enforcement officer. The cost of the
23firearm shall be the replacement value of the firearm and not

3 Section 100. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
4by changing Section 80 as follows:
5 (740 ILCS 21/80)
6 Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
7 (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
8victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
9provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the
10requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100
11on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a
12stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the
13respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
14not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require
15physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification
16and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in
17accordance with this Act.
18 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
19the following:
20 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
21 or committing stalking;
22 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
23 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
24 court;

HB1270- 403 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
2 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
3 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
4 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
5 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
6 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
7 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
8 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
9 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
10 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
11 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
12 firearms; and
13 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
14 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
15 specifically named by the court.
16 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
17same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or
18high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact
19order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the
20act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
21the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
22petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
23availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
24school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
25respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
26disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the

HB1270- 404 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
2the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
3the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
4school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
5accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
6school district or private or non-public school, or place
7restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
8attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
9proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
10change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
11not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
12production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
13educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
14the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
15placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
16respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
17agree with the school district's or private or non-public
18school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
19or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
20consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
21effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
22program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
23public, private, or non-public school attended by the
24petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another

22 (750 ILCS 60/210) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-10)
23 Sec. 210. Process.
24 (a) Summons. Any action for an order of protection,

HB1270- 414 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1whether commenced alone or in conjunction with another
2proceeding, is a distinct cause of action and requires that a
3separate summons be issued and served, except that in pending
4cases the following methods may be used:
5 (1) By delivery of the summons to respondent
6 personally in open court in pending civil or criminal
7 cases.
8 (2) By notice in accordance with Section 210.1 in

13answer or appear within 7 days. Attachments to the summons or
14notice shall include the petition for order of protection and

17of protection under Section 223 shall not be affected by the
18lack of service, delivery, or notice, provided the

20met.
21 (b) Blank.
22 (c) Expedited service. The summons shall be served by the
23sheriff or other law enforcement officer at the earliest time
24and shall take precedence over other summonses except those of
25a similar emergency nature. Special process servers may be
26appointed at any time, and their designation shall not affect

HB1270- 415 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other
2official process servers. In counties with a population over
33,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if

5surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card,
6or the exclusive possession of a shared residence.
7 (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling,
8payment of support, payment of shelter services, and payment
9of losses remedies provided by paragraphs 4, 12, 13, and 16 of

15 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
16 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
17 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
18has been abused by a family or household member or that
19petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused,
20neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of
21protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
22shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
23requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
24Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
25orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not

HB1270- 417 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
2respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
3not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
4physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
5Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
6be in accordance with this Act.
7 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
8an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
9this Section and one of the following Sections, as
10appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on
11interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
12remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to
13other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
14 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
15 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
16 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
17 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
18 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
19 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
20 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
21 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
22 prohibited.
23 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
24 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
25 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
26 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner

HB1270- 418 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
2 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
3 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
4 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
5 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
6 Marriage Act.
7 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
8 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
9 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
10 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
11 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
12 person or entity other than the opposing party that
13 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
14 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
15 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
16 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
17 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
18 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
19 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
20 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
21 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
22 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
23 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
24 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
25 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
26 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to

HB1270- 419 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
2 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
3 the accessibility of the residence or household.
4 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
5 have a right to occupancy.
6 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
7 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
8 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
9 that the hardships to respondent substantially
10 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
11 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
12 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
13 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
14 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
15 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
16 household.
17 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
18 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
19 person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
20 respondent from entering or remaining present at
21 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
22 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
23 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
24 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
25 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
26 right to enter the premises.

HB1270- 420 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
2 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
3 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
4 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
5 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
6 access to the residence to remove items of clothing
7 and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
8 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
9 right to access shall be exercised on only one
10 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
11 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
12 officer.
13 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
14 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
15 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
16 order of protection and providing relief shall
17 consider the severity of the act, any continuing
18 physical danger or emotional distress to the
19 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
20 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law,
21 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to
22 another school, a change of placement or a change of
23 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
24 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
25 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
26 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order

HB1270- 421 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
2 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
3 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
4 change of placement or change of program, as
5 determined by the school district or private or
6 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
7 respondent's movements within the school attended by
8 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
9 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
10 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
11 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
12 bears the burden of production with respect to the
13 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
14 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
15 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
16 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
17 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
18 agree with the school district's or private or
19 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
20 change of program or solely on the ground that the
21 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
22 does not take an action required to effectuate a
23 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
24 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
25 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
26 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to

HB1270- 422 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 another attendance center within the respondent's
2 school district or private or non-public school, the
3 school district or private or non-public school shall
4 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
5 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
6 event the court order results in a transfer of the
7 minor respondent to another attendance center, a
8 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
9 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
10 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
11 transportation and other costs associated with the
12 transfer or change.
13 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
14 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
15 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
16 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
17 the event the court orders a transfer of the
18 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
19 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
20 for transportation and other costs associated with the
21 change of school by the respondent.
22 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
23 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
24 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
25 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
26 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,

HB1270- 423 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
2 domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
3 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
4 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
5 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
6 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
7 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
8 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
9 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
10 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
11 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
12 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
13 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
14 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
15 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
16 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
17 in loco parentis.
18 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
19 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
20 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
21 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
22 minor child's best interest.
23 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
24 significant decision-making. Award temporary
25 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
26 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution

HB1270- 424 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
2 this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
3 Enforcement Act.
4 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
5 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
6 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
7 awarding temporary significant decision-making
8 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
9 best interest.
10 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
11 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
12 physical care or allocates temporary significant
13 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
14 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
15 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
16 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
17 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
18 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
19 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
20 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
21 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
22 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
23 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
24 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
25 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the
26 order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time

HB1270- 425 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 to take place or other specific parameters or conditions
2 that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
3 refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
4 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
5 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
6 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
7 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
8 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
9 in a violent or abusive manner.
10 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
11 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
12 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
13 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
14 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
15 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
16 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
17 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
18 acknowledging accountability to the court.
19 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
20 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
21 concealing the child within the State.
22 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
23 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
24 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
25 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to
26 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the

HB1270- 426 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 child or the respondent.
2 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
3 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
4 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
5 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
6 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
7 property; or
8 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
9 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
10 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
11 temporary possession by petitioner.
12 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
13 property is that it is marital property, the court may
14 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
15 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
16 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
17 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
18 hereafter amended.
19 No order under this provision shall affect title to
20 property.
21 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
22 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
23 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
24 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
25 if:
26 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the

HB1270- 427 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 property; or
2 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
3 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
4 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
5 property is that it is marital property, the court may
6 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
7 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
8 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
9 now or hereafter amended.
10 The court may further prohibit respondent from
11 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
12 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
13 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
14 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
15 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
16 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
17 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
18 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
19 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
20 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
21 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
22 otherwise disposing of the animal.
23 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
24 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
25 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
26 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has

HB1270- 428 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
2 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
3 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
4 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
5 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
6 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
7 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
8 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
9 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
10 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
11 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
12 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
13 provided in the order.
14 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
15 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
16 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
17 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
18 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
19 property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
20 court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
21 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
22 restaurant meals.
23 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
24 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
25 property distribution from the other party under the
26 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as

HB1270- 429 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
2 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
3 the extent that such reimbursement would be
4 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
5 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
6 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
7 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
8 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
9 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
10 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
11 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
12 investigator fees, and travel costs.
13 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
14 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
15 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
16 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
17 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
18 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
19 (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
20 protection was issued from possessing any firearms
21 during the duration of the order if the order:
22 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
23 person received actual notice, and at which such
24 person had an opportunity to participate;
25 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
26 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of

HB1270- 430 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 such person or child of such intimate partner or
2 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
3 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
4 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
5 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
6 represents a credible threat to the physical
7 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
8 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
9 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
10 against such intimate partner or child that would
11 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
12 Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
13 possession of the respondent, except as provided in
14 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
15 turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
16 local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
17 the card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
18 Identification Card Office for safekeeping. The court
19 shall issue a warrant for seizure of any firearm in the
20 possession of the respondent, to be kept by the local
21 law enforcement agency for safekeeping, except as
22 provided in subsection (b). The period of safekeeping
23 shall be for the duration of the order of protection.
24 The firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's
25 Identification Card, if unexpired, shall, at the
26 respondent's request, be returned to the respondent at

HB1270- 431 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 the end of the order of protection. It is the
2 respondent's responsibility to notify the Illinois
3 State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
4 Office.
5 (b) 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 order of
13 protection.
14 (c) 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

HB1270- 432 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 respondent.
2 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
3 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
4 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
5 under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
6 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
7 minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,
8 and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
9 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
10 records of the minor child who is in the care of
11 petitioner.
12 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
13 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
14 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
15 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
16 deemed reasonable by the court.
17 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
18 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
19 of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect,
20 or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or
21 to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by
22 the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by
23 the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
24 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
25 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
26 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.

HB1270- 433 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (18) Telephone services.
2 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
3 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
4 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
5 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
6 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
7 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
8 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
9 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
10 For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term
11 "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider
12 of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C.
13 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each
14 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
15 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
16 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone
17 service provider's agent for service of process
18 provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The
19 order shall contain all of the following:
20 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
21 the account holder including the name of the
22 wireless telephone service provider that serves
23 the account.
24 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
25 transferred.
26 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers

HB1270- 434 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
2 and right to the use of any telephone number
3 transferred under this paragraph.
4 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
5 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
6 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
7 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
8 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
9 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
10 following applies:
11 (i) The account holder named in the order has
12 terminated the account.
13 (ii) A difference in network technology would
14 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
15 a network if the transfer occurs.
16 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
17 other limitation on network or service provision
18 to the petitioner.
19 (iv) Another technological or operational
20 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
21 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
22 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
23 responsibility for and right to the use of any
24 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
25 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
26 monthly service costs and costs associated with any

HB1270- 435 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 mobile device associated with the number.
2 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
3 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
4 requirements for establishing an account or
5 transferring a number, including requiring the
6 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
7 financial information, and customer preferences.
8 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
9 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
10 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
11 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
12 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
13 services to residential customers shall provide to the
14 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
15 an agent for service of orders entered under this
16 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
17 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
18 Commission within 30 days of such change.
19 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
20 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
21 each wireless telephone service provider on the
22 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
23 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
24 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
25 is provided and displayed.
26 (c) Relevant factors; findings.

HB1270- 436 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
2 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
3 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
4 following:
5 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
6 consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
7 or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
8 household member, including the concealment of his or
9 her location in order to evade service of process or
10 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
11 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
12 of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;
13 and
14 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
15 abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
16 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
17 improperly separated from the child's primary
18 caretaker.
19 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
20 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
21 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
22 limited to the following:
23 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
24 adequacy, location and other characteristics of
25 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
26 or dependent adult in the party's care;

HB1270- 437 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
2 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
3 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
4 care, to family, school, church and community.
5 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
6 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
7 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
8 set forth the following:
9 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
10 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
11 of this subsection.
12 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
13 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
14 or continued abuse.
15 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
16 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
17 other alleged abused persons.
18 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
19 order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
20 a supplement to making the findings described in
21 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
22 subsection, may use the following procedure:
23 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
24 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
25 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
26 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency

HB1270- 438 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
2 appears from the contents of the petition and the
3 examination of petitioner that the averments are
4 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
5 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
6 order of protection.
7 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
8 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
9 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
10 child relationship has been established under the Illinois
11 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
12 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
13 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
14 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
15 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
16 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
17 administrative, or other act of another state or
18 territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
19 nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
20 other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
21 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
22 Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
23 both parties appeared in open court or at an
24 administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
25 admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
26 child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,

HB1270- 439 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
2 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
3 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
4 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
5 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
6 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
7that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
8a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
9subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
10balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
11include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
12result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
13outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
14The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
15 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
16based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
17 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
18 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
19 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
20 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
21 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
22 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
23 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
24 of 2012;
25 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
26 of another;

HB1270- 440 -LRB103 04864 RLC 49874 b
1 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
2 avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
3 respondent;
4 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
5 household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation
6 by respondent;
7 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
8 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
9 that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
10 or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
11 household members.
