Summary
Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 and the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986. In the definition of "harassment" Provides that, unless the presumption is rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, the following types of conduct shall be presumed to cause emotional distress: (1) contacting the petitioner directly or indirectly through any means including but not limited to telephonic, electronic, or online; (2) repeatedly following the petitioner, including, but not limited to, directly or indirectly through third parties, or by using electronic tracking or monitoring, or acquiring information, to determine the petitioner's location, movement, or travel patterns without the petitioner's knowledge or consent; (3) repeatedly surveilling the petitioner or tracking petitioner's location directly or indirectly including but not limited to by remaining present at or outside the petitioner's home, school, place of employment, vehicle, or other place occupied by petitioner, by peering in petitioner's windows, by using electronic tracking or monitoring, or by acquiring information to determine the petitioner's location, movement, or travel patterns without the petitioner's knowledge and consent; (4) non-consensual dissemination or threatening the dissemination of electronically generated or digitally altered content using the image, voice, or other characteristic of the petitioner to falsely impersonate the petitioner or the petitioner's representative; (5) non-consensual dissemination or threatening the non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images and digitally altered sexual images as defined in the Civil Remedies for Nonconsensual Dissemination of Private Sexual Images Act; and (6) engaging in doxing as defined in the Civil Liability for Doxing Act.
