AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2288
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2288, AS AMENDED,
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
following:
"Section 5. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended by
changing Section 80 as follows:
(740 ILCS 21/80)
Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
(a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the requirements
of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100 on plenary
orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a stalking no
contact order because the petitioner or the respondent is a
minor. The court, when determining whether or not to issue a
stalking no contact order, may not require physical injury on

10000SB2288sam003 - 2 - LRB100 16058 HEP 38897 a
the person of the petitioner. Modification and extension of
prior stalking no contact orders shall be in accordance with
this Act.
(b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
the following:
(1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
or committing stalking;
(2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
court;
(3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
residence, school, or place of employment only if the
respondent has been provided actual notice of the
opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
(4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
firearms; and
(5) order the respondent to submit to a mental health
evaluation; and
(6) (5) order other injunctive relief the court
determines to be necessary to protect the petitioner or

10000SB2288sam003 - 3 - LRB100 16058 HEP 38897 a
third party specifically named by the court.
(b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
availability of a transfer of the respondent to another school,
a change of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would
be caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school,
and any other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
placement or program, as determined by the school district or
private or non-public school, or place restrictions on the
respondent's movements within the school attended by the
petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of proving by a
preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change of
placement, or change of program of the respondent is not
available. The respondent also bears the burden of production
with respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
to another school. A transfer, change of placement, or change

10000SB2288sam003 - 4 - LRB100 16058 HEP 38897 a
of program is not unavailable to the respondent solely on the
ground that the respondent does not agree with the school
district's or private or non-public school's transfer, change
of placement, or change of program or solely on the ground that
the respondent fails or refuses to consent to or otherwise does
not take an action required to effectuate a transfer, change of
placement, or change of program. When a court orders a
respondent to stay away from the public, private, or non-public
school attended by the petitioner and the respondent requests a
transfer to another attendance center within the respondent's
school district or private or non-public school, the school
district or private or non-public school shall have sole
discretion to determine the attendance center to which the
respondent is transferred. In the event the court order results
in a transfer of the minor respondent to another attendance
center, a change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
custodian of the respondent is responsible for transportation
and other costs associated with the transfer or change.
(b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
responsible for transportation and other costs associated with

10000SB2288sam003 - 5 - LRB100 16058 HEP 38897 a
the change of school by the respondent.
(b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or private
or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
(b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian directed,
encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.
(c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
(d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
(e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
Card and immediately return the card to the Department of State
Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office.
