HB3655 Engrossed - 3 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(5 ILCS 283/10)

(a) A person who is convicted of a violation of any of the
following Sections, subsections, and clauses of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012:
(1) clause (a)(6) of Section 12-6 (intimidation by a

shall forfeit to the State of Illinois:
(A) any profits or proceeds and any property or
property interest he or she has acquired or maintained in
violation of any of the offenses listed in clauses (1)
through (4) of this subsection (a) that the court
determines, after a forfeiture hearing under subsection
(b) of this Section, to have been acquired or maintained
as a result of violating any of the offenses listed in
clauses (1) through (4) of this subsection (a); and
(B) any interest in, security of, claim against, or
property or contractual right of any kind affording a
source of influence over, any enterprise which he or she
has established, operated, controlled, conducted, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 4 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
participated in the conduct of, in violation of any of the
offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of this
subsection (a) that the court determines, after a
forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this Section,
to have been acquired or maintained as a result of
violating any of the offenses listed in clauses (1)
through (4) of this subsection (a) or used to facilitate a
violation of one of the offenses listed in clauses (1)
through (4) of this subsection (a).
(b) The court shall, upon petition by the Attorney General
or State's Attorney, at any time after the filing of an
information or return of an indictment, conduct a hearing to
determine whether any property or property interest is subject
to forfeiture under this Act. At the forfeiture hearing the
people shall have the burden of establishing, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that property or property
interests are subject to forfeiture under this Act. There is a
rebuttable presumption at such hearing that any property or
property interest of a person charged by information or
indictment with a violation of any of the offenses listed in
clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section or
who is convicted of a violation of any of the offenses listed
in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section is
subject to forfeiture under this Section if the State
establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) such property or property interest was acquired by

HB3655 Engrossed - 5 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
such person during the period of the violation of any of
the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of
subsection (a) of this Section or within a reasonable time
after such period; and
(2) there was no likely source for such property or
property interest other than the violation of any of the
offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection
(a) of this Section.
(c) In an action brought by the People of the State of
Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,
injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
with any property or property interest subject to forfeiture
under this Act is sought, the circuit court which shall
preside over the trial of the person or persons charged with
any of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of
subsection (a) of this Section shall first determine whether
there is probable cause to believe that the person or persons
so charged have committed a violation of any of the offenses
listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this
Section and whether the property or property interest is
subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act.
In order to make such a determination, prior to entering
any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a
jury, wherein the People shall establish that there is: (i)
probable cause that the person or persons so charged have
committed one of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through

HB3655 Engrossed - 6 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(4) of subsection (a) of this Section and (ii) probable cause
that any property or property interest may be subject to
forfeiture pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may be conducted
simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the prosecution
is commenced by information or complaint, or by motion of the
People, at any stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a
finding of probable cause at a preliminary hearing following
the filing of a charge for violating one of the offenses listed
in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section or
the return of an indictment by a grand jury charging one of the
offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a)
of this Section as sufficient evidence of probable cause as
provided in item (i) above.
Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
such other action in connection with any such property or
property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
located. No such injunction, restraining order or other

HB3655 Engrossed - 7 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide
purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder
arising prior to the date of such filing.
The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
such property or interest which the court previously
determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any
restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other action.
The court may release such property to the defendant for good
cause shown and within the sound discretion of the court.
(d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
(e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
property interest that has been the subject of an entered
restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless
the claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that
the property or property interest has not been acquired or
maintained as a result of a violation of any of the offenses
listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this
Section or has not been used to facilitate a violation of any
of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of

HB3655 Engrossed - 8 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subsection (a) of this Section.
(f) The Attorney General or his or her designee is
authorized to sell all property forfeited and seized pursuant
to this Act, unless such property is required by law to be
destroyed or is harmful to the public, and, after the
deduction of all requisite expenses of administration and
sale, shall distribute the proceeds of such sale, along with
any moneys forfeited or seized, in accordance with subsection
(g).
(g) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other property
forfeited and seized pursuant to this Act shall be distributed
as follows:
(1) An amount equal to 50% shall be distributed to the

whose officers or employees conducted the investigation
into a violation of any of the offenses listed in clauses
(1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section and
caused the arrest or arrests and prosecution leading to
the forfeiture. Amounts distributed to units of local
government and law enforcement agencies shall be used for
enforcement of laws governing public corruption, or for
other law enforcement purposes. In the event, however,

leading to the forfeiture were undertaken solely by a

the Attorney General Whistleblower Reward and Protection
Fund in the State treasury to be used by the Attorney
General in accordance with law.
(4) An amount equal to 25% shall be paid into the State
Asset Forfeiture Fund in the State treasury to be used by

the investigation of public corruption activities. Any

investigations shall be used by the Illinois State Police
Department in accordance with law to fund its other
enforcement activities.

State Board of Elections, and educational employers or

Relations Act, except with respect to a state university in
its employment of firefighters and peace officers and except
with respect to a school district in the employment of peace
officers in its own police department in existence on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly. County boards and county sheriffs shall be
designated as joint or co-employers of county peace officers
appointed under the authority of a county sheriff. Nothing in
this subsection (o) shall be construed to prevent the State
Panel or the Local Panel from determining that employers are
joint or co-employers.
(o-5) With respect to wages, fringe benefits, hours,
holidays, vacations, proficiency examinations, sick leave, and
other conditions of employment, the public employer of public
employees who are court reporters, as defined in the Court
Reporters Act, shall be determined as follows:
(1) For court reporters employed by the Cook County
Judicial Circuit, the chief judge of the Cook County
Circuit Court is the public employer and employer
representative.
(2) For court reporters employed by the 12th, 18th,
19th, and, on and after December 4, 2006, the 22nd
judicial circuits, a group consisting of the chief judges
of those circuits, acting jointly by majority vote, is the

HB3655 Engrossed - 30 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
public employer and employer representative.
(3) For court reporters employed by all other judicial
circuits, a group consisting of the chief judges of those
circuits, acting jointly by majority vote, is the public
employer and employer representative.
(p) "Security employee" means an employee who is
responsible for the supervision and control of inmates at
correctional facilities. The term also includes other
non-security employees in bargaining units having the majority
of employees being responsible for the supervision and control
of inmates at correctional facilities.
(q) "Short-term employee" means an employee who is
employed for less than 2 consecutive calendar quarters during
a calendar year and who does not have a reasonable assurance
that he or she will be rehired by the same employer for the

authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire,
transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge,
direct, reward, or discipline employees, to adjust their
grievances, or to effectively recommend any of those
actions, if the exercise of that authority is not of a
merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the
consistent use of independent judgment. Except with
respect to police employment, the term "supervisor"
includes only those individuals who devote a preponderance
of their employment time to exercising that authority,
State supervisors notwithstanding. Nothing in this
definition prohibits an individual from also meeting the
definition of "managerial employee" under subsection (j)
of this Section. In addition, in determining supervisory
status in police employment, rank shall not be
determinative. The Board shall consider, as evidence of
bargaining unit inclusion or exclusion, the common law
enforcement policies and relationships between police
officer ranks and certification under applicable civil
service law, ordinances, personnel codes, or Division 2.1
of Article 10 of the Illinois Municipal Code, but these
factors shall not be the sole or predominant factors
considered by the Board in determining police supervisory
status.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, in determining supervisory status in fire

HB3655 Engrossed - 32 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
fighter employment, no fire fighter shall be excluded as a
supervisor who has established representation rights under
Section 9 of this Act. Further, in new fire fighter units,
employees shall consist of fire fighters of the rank of
company officer and below. If a company officer otherwise
qualifies as a supervisor under the preceding paragraph,
however, he or she shall not be included in the fire
fighter unit. If there is no rank between that of chief and
the highest company officer, the employer may designate a
position on each shift as a Shift Commander, and the
persons occupying those positions shall be supervisors.
All other ranks above that of company officer shall be
supervisors.
(2) With respect only to State employees in positions
under the jurisdiction of the Attorney General, Secretary
of State, Comptroller, or Treasurer (i) that were
certified in a bargaining unit on or after December 2,
2008, (ii) for which a petition is filed with the Illinois
Public Labor Relations Board on or after April 5, 2013
(the effective date of Public Act 97-1172), or (iii) for
which a petition is pending before the Illinois Public
Labor Relations Board on that date, an employee who
qualifies as a supervisor under (A) Section 152 of the
National Labor Relations Act and (B) orders of the
National Labor Relations Board interpreting that provision
or decisions of courts reviewing decisions of the National

Labor Relations Board.
(s)(1) "Unit" means a class of jobs or positions that are
held by employees whose collective interests may suitably be
represented by a labor organization for collective bargaining.
Except with respect to non-State fire fighters and paramedics
employed by fire departments and fire protection districts,
non-State peace officers, and peace officers in the Illinois
Department of State Police, a bargaining unit determined by
the Board shall not include both employees and supervisors, or
supervisors only, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this
subsection (s) and except for bargaining units in existence on
July 1, 1984 (the effective date of this Act). With respect to
non-State fire fighters and paramedics employed by fire
departments and fire protection districts, non-State peace
officers, and peace officers in the Illinois Department of
State Police, a bargaining unit determined by the Board shall
not include both supervisors and nonsupervisors, or
supervisors only, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this
subsection (s) and except for bargaining units in existence on
January 1, 1986 (the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1985). A bargaining unit determined by the Board to contain
peace officers shall contain no employees other than peace
officers unless otherwise agreed to by the employer and the
labor organization or labor organizations involved.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a bargaining
unit, including a historical bargaining unit, containing sworn

HB3655 Engrossed - 34 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
peace officers of the Department of Natural Resources
(formerly designated the Department of Conservation) shall
contain no employees other than such sworn peace officers upon
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1990 or upon the
expiration date of any collective bargaining agreement in
effect upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1990
covering both such sworn peace officers and other employees.
(2) Notwithstanding the exclusion of supervisors from
bargaining units as provided in paragraph (1) of this
subsection (s), a public employer may agree to permit its
supervisory employees to form bargaining units and may bargain
with those units. This Act shall apply if the public employer
chooses to bargain under this subsection.
(3) Public employees who are court reporters, as defined
in the Court Reporters Act, shall be divided into 3 units for
collective bargaining purposes. One unit shall be court
reporters employed by the Cook County Judicial Circuit; one
unit shall be court reporters employed by the 12th, 18th,
19th, and, on and after December 4, 2006, the 22nd judicial
circuits; and one unit shall be court reporters employed by
all other judicial circuits.

Sec. 6.1. Gubernatorial designation of certain public
employment positions as excluded from collective bargaining.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the
contrary, except subsections (e) and (f) of this Section, the
Governor is authorized to designate up to 3,580 State
employment positions collectively within State agencies
directly responsible to the Governor, and, upon designation,
those positions and employees in those positions, if any, are
hereby excluded from the self-organization and collective
bargaining provisions of Section 6 of this Act. Only those
employment positions that have been certified in a bargaining

HB3655 Engrossed - 36 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
unit on or after December 2, 2008, that have a pending petition

effective date of Public Act 97-1172), or that neither have
been certified in a bargaining unit on or after December 2,
2008 nor have a pending petition for certification in a
bargaining unit on the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 97th General Assembly are eligible to be designated by
the Governor under this Section. The Governor may not

employment positions that have been certified in a bargaining
unit on or after December 2, 2008.
(b) In order to properly designate a State employment
position under this Section, the Governor shall provide in
writing to the Board: the job title and job duties of the
employment position; the name of the State employee currently
in the employment position, if any; the name of the State
agency employing the public employee; and the category under
which the position qualifies for designation under this
Section.
To qualify for designation under this Section, the
employment position must meet one or more of the following
requirements:
(1) it must authorize an employee in that position to
act as a legislative liaison;
(2) it must have a title of, or authorize a person who
holds that position to exercise substantially similar

HB3655 Engrossed - 37 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

Information Officer, or Chief Information Officer;
(3) it must be a Rutan-exempt, as designated by the
employer, position and completely exempt from jurisdiction

(4) it must be a term appointed position pursuant to
Section 8b.18 or 8b.19 of the Personnel Code; or
(5) it must authorize an employee in that position to
have significant and independent discretionary authority
as an employee.
Within 60 days after the Governor makes a designation
under this Section, the Board shall determine, in a manner
that is consistent with the requirements of due process,
whether the designation comports with the requirements of this
Section.
(c) For the purposes of this Section, a person has
significant and independent discretionary authority as an
employee if he or she (i) is engaged in executive and
management functions of a State agency and charged with the
effectuation of management policies and practices of a State
agency or represents management interests by taking or
recommending discretionary actions that effectively control or
implement the policy of a State agency or (ii) qualifies as a

HB3655 Engrossed - 38 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
supervisor of a State agency as that term is defined under
Section 152 of the National Labor Relations Act or any orders
of the National Labor Relations Board interpreting that
provision or decisions of courts reviewing decisions of the
National Labor Relations Board.
(d) The Governor must exercise the authority afforded
under this Section within 365 calendar days after April 5,
2013 (the effective date of Public Act 97-1172). Any
designation made by the Governor under this Section shall be
presumed to have been properly made.
If the Governor chooses not to designate a position under
this Section, then that decision does not preclude a State
agency from otherwise challenging the certification of that
position under this Act.
The qualifying categories set forth in paragraphs (1)
through (5) of subsection (b) of this Section are operative
and function solely within this Section and do not expand or
restrict the scope of any other provision contained in this

(5 ILCS 315/9) (from Ch. 48, par. 1609)
Sec. 9. Elections; recognition.

HB3655 Engrossed - 40 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(a) Whenever in accordance with such regulations as may be
prescribed by the Board a petition has been filed:
(1) by a public employee or group of public employees
or any labor organization acting in their behalf
demonstrating that 30% of the public employees in an
appropriate unit (A) wish to be represented for the
purposes of collective bargaining by a labor organization
as exclusive representative, or (B) asserting that the
labor organization which has been certified or is
currently recognized by the public employer as bargaining
representative is no longer the representative of the
majority of public employees in the unit; or
(2) by a public employer alleging that one or more
labor organizations have presented to it a claim that they
be recognized as the representative of a majority of the
public employees in an appropriate unit,
the Board shall investigate such petition, and if it has
reasonable cause to believe that a question of representation
exists, shall provide for an appropriate hearing upon due
notice. Such hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
or such other location as the Board deems appropriate. If it
finds upon the record of the hearing that a question of
representation exists, it shall direct an election in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, which election
shall be held not later than 120 days after the date the
petition was filed regardless of whether that petition was

HB3655 Engrossed - 41 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
filed before or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1987; provided, however, the Board may extend the time
for holding an election by an additional 60 days if, upon
motion by a person who has filed a petition under this Section
or is the subject of a petition filed under this Section and is
a party to such hearing, or upon the Board's own motion, the
Board finds that good cause has been shown for extending the
election date; provided further, that nothing in this Section
shall prohibit the Board, in its discretion, from extending
the time for holding an election for so long as may be
necessary under the circumstances, where the purpose for such
extension is to permit resolution by the Board of an unfair
labor practice charge filed by one of the parties to a
representational proceeding against the other based upon
conduct which may either affect the existence of a question
concerning representation or have a tendency to interfere with
a fair and free election, where the party filing the charge has
not filed a request to proceed with the election; and provided
further that prior to the expiration of the total time
allotted for holding an election, a person who has filed a
petition under this Section or is the subject of a petition
filed under this Section and is a party to such hearing or the
Board, may move for and obtain the entry of an order in the
circuit court of the county in which the majority of the public
employees sought to be represented by such person reside, such
order extending the date upon which the election shall be

HB3655 Engrossed - 42 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
held. Such order shall be issued by the circuit court only upon
a judicial finding that there has been a sufficient showing
that there is good cause to extend the election date beyond
such period and shall require the Board to hold the election as
soon as is feasible given the totality of the circumstances.
Such 120 day period may be extended one or more times by the
agreement of all parties to the hearing to a date certain
without the necessity of obtaining a court order. Nothing in
this Section prohibits the waiving of hearings by stipulation
for the purpose of a consent election in conformity with the
rules and regulations of the Board or an election in a unit
agreed upon by the parties. Other interested employee
organizations may intervene in the proceedings in the manner
and within the time period specified by rules and regulations
of the Board. Interested parties who are necessary to the
proceedings may also intervene in the proceedings in the
manner and within the time period specified by the rules and
regulations of the Board.
(a-5) The Board shall designate an exclusive
representative for purposes of collective bargaining when the
representative demonstrates a showing of majority interest by
employees in the unit. If the parties to a dispute are without
agreement on the means to ascertain the choice, if any, of
employee organization as their representative, the Board shall
ascertain the employees' choice of employee organization, on
the basis of dues deduction authorization or other evidence,

HB3655 Engrossed - 43 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or, if necessary, by conducting an election. All evidence
submitted by an employee organization to the Board to
ascertain an employee's choice of an employee organization is
confidential and shall not be submitted to the employer for
review. The Board shall ascertain the employee's choice of
employee organization within 120 days after the filing of the
majority interest petition; however, the Board may extend time
by an additional 60 days, upon its own motion or upon the
motion of a party to the proceeding. If either party provides
to the Board, before the designation of a representative,
clear and convincing evidence that the dues deduction
authorizations, and other evidence upon which the Board would
otherwise rely to ascertain the employees' choice of
representative, are fraudulent or were obtained through
coercion, the Board shall promptly thereafter conduct an
election. The Board shall also investigate and consider a
party's allegations that the dues deduction authorizations and
other evidence submitted in support of a designation of
representative without an election were subsequently changed,
altered, withdrawn, or withheld as a result of employer fraud,
coercion, or any other unfair labor practice by the employer.
If the Board determines that a labor organization would have
had a majority interest but for an employer's fraud, coercion,
or unfair labor practice, it shall designate the labor
organization as an exclusive representative without conducting
an election. If a hearing is necessary to resolve any issues of

HB3655 Engrossed - 44 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
representation under this Section, the Board shall conclude
its hearing process and issue a certification of the entire
appropriate unit not later than 120 days after the date the
petition was filed. The 120-day period may be extended one or
more times by the agreement of all parties to a hearing to a
date certain.
(a-6) A labor organization or an employer may file a unit
clarification petition seeking to clarify an existing
bargaining unit. The Board shall conclude its investigation,
including any hearing process deemed necessary, and issue a
certification of clarified unit or dismiss the petition not
later than 120 days after the date the petition was filed. The
120-day period may be extended one or more times by the
agreement of all parties to a hearing to a date certain.
(b) The Board shall decide in each case, in order to assure
public employees the fullest freedom in exercising the rights
guaranteed by this Act, a unit appropriate for the purpose of
collective bargaining, based upon but not limited to such
factors as: historical pattern of recognition; community of
interest including employee skills and functions; degree of
functional integration; interchangeability and contact among
employees; fragmentation of employee groups; common
supervision, wages, hours and other working conditions of the
employees involved; and the desires of the employees. For
purposes of this subsection, fragmentation shall not be the
sole or predominant factor used by the Board in determining an

HB3655 Engrossed - 45 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
appropriate bargaining unit. Except with respect to non-State
fire fighters and paramedics employed by fire departments and
fire protection districts, non-State peace officers and peace
officers in the Illinois State Department of State Police, a
single bargaining unit determined by the Board may not include
both supervisors and nonsupervisors, except for bargaining
units in existence on the effective date of this Act. With
respect to non-State fire fighters and paramedics employed by
fire departments and fire protection districts, non-State
peace officers and peace officers in the Illinois State
Department of State Police, a single bargaining unit
determined by the Board may not include both supervisors and
nonsupervisors, except for bargaining units in existence on
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985.
In cases involving an historical pattern of recognition,
and in cases where the employer has recognized the union as the
sole and exclusive bargaining agent for a specified existing
unit, the Board shall find the employees in the unit then
represented by the union pursuant to the recognition to be the
appropriate unit.
Notwithstanding the above factors, where the majority of
public employees of a craft so decide, the Board shall
designate such craft as a unit appropriate for the purposes of
collective bargaining.
The Board shall not decide that any unit is appropriate if
such unit includes both professional and nonprofessional

HB3655 Engrossed - 46 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employees, unless a majority of each group votes for inclusion
in such unit.
(c) Nothing in this Act shall interfere with or negate the
current representation rights or patterns and practices of
labor organizations which have historically represented public
employees for the purpose of collective bargaining, including
but not limited to the negotiations of wages, hours and
working conditions, discussions of employees' grievances,
resolution of jurisdictional disputes, or the establishment
and maintenance of prevailing wage rates, unless a majority of
employees so represented express a contrary desire pursuant to
the procedures set forth in this Act.
(d) In instances where the employer does not voluntarily
recognize a labor organization as the exclusive bargaining
representative for a unit of employees, the Board shall
determine the majority representative of the public employees
in an appropriate collective bargaining unit by conducting a
secret ballot election, except as otherwise provided in
subsection (a-5). Within 7 days after the Board issues its
bargaining unit determination and direction of election or the
execution of a stipulation for the purpose of a consent
election, the public employer shall submit to the labor
organization the complete names and addresses of those
employees who are determined by the Board to be eligible to
participate in the election. When the Board has determined
that a labor organization has been fairly and freely chosen by

HB3655 Engrossed - 47 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a majority of employees in an appropriate unit, it shall
certify such organization as the exclusive representative. If
the Board determines that a majority of employees in an
appropriate unit has fairly and freely chosen not to be
represented by a labor organization, it shall so certify. The
Board may also revoke the certification of the public employee
organizations as exclusive bargaining representatives which
have been found by a secret ballot election to be no longer the
majority representative.
(e) The Board shall not conduct an election in any
bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof within which a
valid election has been held in the preceding 12-month period.
The Board shall determine who is eligible to vote in an
election and shall establish rules governing the conduct of
the election or conduct affecting the results of the election.
The Board shall include on a ballot in a representation
election a choice of "no representation". A labor organization
currently representing the bargaining unit of employees shall
be placed on the ballot in any representation election. In any
election where none of the choices on the ballot receives a
majority, a runoff election shall be conducted between the 2
choices receiving the largest number of valid votes cast in
the election. A labor organization which receives a majority
of the votes cast in an election shall be certified by the
Board as exclusive representative of all public employees in
the unit.

HB3655 Engrossed - 48 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(f) A labor organization shall be designated as the
exclusive representative by a public employer, provided that
the labor organization represents a majority of the public
employees in an appropriate unit. Any employee organization
which is designated or selected by the majority of public
employees, in a unit of the public employer having no other
recognized or certified representative, as their
representative for purposes of collective bargaining may
request recognition by the public employer in writing. The
public employer shall post such request for a period of at
least 20 days following its receipt thereof on bulletin boards
or other places used or reserved for employee notices.
(g) Within the 20-day period any other interested employee
organization may petition the Board in the manner specified by
rules and regulations of the Board, provided that such
interested employee organization has been designated by at
least 10% of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit
which includes all or some of the employees in the unit
recognized by the employer. In such event, the Board shall
proceed with the petition in the same manner as provided by
paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this Section.
(h) No election shall be directed by the Board in any
bargaining unit where there is in force a valid collective
bargaining agreement. The Board, however, may process an
election petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the
expiration of the date of an agreement, and may further

HB3655 Engrossed - 49 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
refine, by rule or decision, the implementation of this
provision. Where more than 4 years have elapsed since the
effective date of the agreement, the agreement shall continue
to bar an election, except that the Board may process an
election petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the end
of the fifth year of such an agreement, and between 90 and 60
days prior to the end of each successive year of such
agreement.
(i) An order of the Board dismissing a representation
petition, determining and certifying that a labor organization
has been fairly and freely chosen by a majority of employees in
an appropriate bargaining unit, determining and certifying
that a labor organization has not been fairly and freely
chosen by a majority of employees in the bargaining unit or
certifying a labor organization as the exclusive
representative of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit
because of a determination by the Board that the labor
organization is the historical bargaining representative of
employees in the bargaining unit, is a final order. Any person
aggrieved by any such order issued on or after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1987 may apply for and obtain
judicial review in accordance with provisions of the
Administrative Review Law, as now or hereafter amended, except
that such review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate
Court for the district in which the aggrieved party resides or
transacts business. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court

HB3655 Engrossed - 50 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall be filed within 35 days from the date that a copy of the
decision sought to be reviewed was served upon the party
affected by the decision.

expenditures of forfeiture proceeds during the calendar
year, categorized as provided under subsection (b) of this

(f) Upon application by a law enforcement agency to the
Illinois Department of State Police, the reporting of a
particular asset forfeited under this Section may be delayed
if the asset in question was seized from a person who has
become a confidential informant under the agency's
confidential informant policy, or if the asset was seized as
part of an ongoing investigation. This delayed reporting shall
be granted by the Illinois Department of State Police for a
maximum period of 6 months if the confidential informant is
still providing cooperation to law enforcement or the

HB3655 Engrossed - 68 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

fund shall be accounted for and shall be used only to pay for
the actual one-time cost of purchasing and installing the
hardware and software required to comply with this new
reporting and public database requirement. Moneys deposited in
the fund shall not be subject to reappropriation,
reallocation, or redistribution for any other purpose. After
sufficient funds are transferred to the fund to cover the
actual one-time cost of purchasing and installing the hardware
and software required to comply with this new reporting and
public database requirement, no additional funds shall be
transferred to the fund for any purpose. At the completion of

HB3655 Engrossed - 69 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the one-time upgrade of the information technology hardware
and software to comply with this new reporting and public
database requirement, any remaining funds in the fund shall be
returned to the participating agencies under the distribution
requirements of the statutes from which the funds were
transferred, and the fund shall no longer exist.
(h)(1) The Illinois Department of State Police, in
consultation with and subject to the approval of the Chief
Procurement Officer, may procure a single contract or multiple
contracts to implement this Act.
(2) A contract or contracts under this subsection (h) are
not subject to the Illinois Procurement Code, except for

under Article 50 of the Illinois Procurement Code. The
provisions of this paragraph (2), other than this sentence,
are inoperative on and after July 1, 2019.

(b) (Blank).
(c) The Department shall establish and maintain
tax-supported child welfare services and extend and seek to
improve voluntary services throughout the State, to the end
that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
throughout the State to children requiring such services.
(d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for
any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the

HB3655 Engrossed - 137 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
contractor must post a surety bond in the amount of the advance
disbursement and have a purchase of service contract approved
by the Department. The Department may pay up to 2 months
operational expenses in advance. The amount of the advance
disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract
or the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less,
and the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated
during 2 consecutive fiscal years. The requirements of this
Section concerning advance disbursements shall not apply with
respect to the following: payments to local public agencies
for child day care services as authorized by Section 5a of this
Act; and youth service programs receiving grant funds under
Section 17a-4.
(e) (Blank).
(f) (Blank).
(g) The Department shall establish rules and regulations
concerning its operation of programs designed to meet the
goals of child safety and protection, family preservation,
family reunification, and adoption, including, but not limited
to:
(1) adoption;
(2) foster care;
(3) family counseling;
(4) protective services;

HB3655 Engrossed - 138 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(5) (blank);
(6) homemaker service;
(7) return of runaway children;
(8) (blank);
(9) placement under Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court
Act or Section 2-27, 3-28, 4-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal Adoption
Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
(10) interstate services.
Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance
use disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor
to the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
disorder treatment.
(h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
program or facility within or available to the Department for
a youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.

HB3655 Engrossed - 139 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
The plan may be developed within the Department or through
purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
within its statutory authority to do.
(i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
State and shall include but not be limited to the following
services:
(1) case management;
(2) homemakers;
(3) counseling;
(4) parent education;
(5) day care; and
(6) emergency assistance and advocacy.
In addition, the following services may be made available
to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
(1) comprehensive family-based services;
(2) assessments;
(3) respite care; and
(4) in-home health services.
The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
services it makes available to children or families or for
which it refers children or families.
(j) The Department may provide categories of financial
assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place

HB3655 Engrossed - 140 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were
youth in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
died. The Department may continue to provide financial
assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
determined eligible for financial assistance under this
subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the
child's adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization
of the new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
parents. The Department may also provide categories of
financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
4-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
appointment of the guardian.
The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the
needs of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in
the annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
allowed where the child requires special service but such
costs may not exceed the amounts which similar services would
cost the Department if it were to provide or secure them as

HB3655 Engrossed - 141 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
guardian of the child.
Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
a judgment or debt.
(j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
outside of the State of Illinois.
(k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(l) The Department shall offer family preservation
services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act, to help families, including
adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
in the custody of the person responsible for the children's
welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
(iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
1987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a

HB3655 Engrossed - 142 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
goal other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
that reunification services may be offered as provided in
paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
The Department shall notify the child and his family of
the Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of
the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the
child's or family's willingness to accept services shall not
be considered in the investigation. The Department may also
provide services to any child or family who is the subject of

HB3655 Engrossed - 143 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
such child or family to services available from other agencies
in the community, even if the report is determined to be
unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
such services shall be voluntary. The Department may also
provide services to any child or family after completion of a
family assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as
provided under the "differential response program" provided
for in subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act.
The Department may, at its discretion except for those
children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
be committed to the Department by any court without the
approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under

HB3655 Engrossed - 144 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
2017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective

HB3655 Engrossed - 145 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
implement a special program of family preservation services to
support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and
stress of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a
pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines
that those services are necessary to ensure the health and
safety of the child. The Department may offer services to any
family whether or not a report has been filed under the Abused
and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer
the child or family to services available from other agencies
in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
health and social service providers and the general public
about these special family preservation services. The nature
and scope of the services offered and the number of families
served under the special program implemented under this
paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
"pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent
edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental

HB3655 Engrossed - 146 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
(l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests
of the child require that the child be placed in the most
permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
the family when the child can be cared for at home without
endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
shall be the paramount concern.
When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
where the Department believes that further reunification

HB3655 Engrossed - 147 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.
The Department is not required to provide further
reunification services after such a finding.
A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
placement made is the best available placement to provide
permanency for the child.
The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
shall consider the following factors when determining
appropriateness of concurrent planning:
(1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
(2) the past history of the family;
(3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
the family;
(4) the level of cooperation of the family;
(5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
family to reunite;
(6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
(7) the age of the child;
(8) placement of siblings.
(m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any

HB3655 Engrossed - 148 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
child if:
(1) it has received a written consent to such
temporary custody signed by the parents of the child or by
the parent having custody of the child if the parents are
not living together or by the guardian or custodian of the
child if the child is not in the custody of either parent,
or
(2) the child is found in the State and neither a
parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be
located.
If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

HB3655 Engrossed - 149 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary
custody pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
Neglected Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and
acceptance under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in
limited custody, the Department, during the period of
temporary custody and before the child is brought before a
judicial officer as required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, shall have the
authority, responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian
of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
examination.
A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for
10 days after the receipt of the request, during which period
the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the

HB3655 Engrossed - 150 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
(m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
that cares for children who are in need of secure living
arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
determination is made by the facility director and the
Director or the Director's designate prior to admission to the
facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
of the Department before being subject to placement in a
correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction
has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
(n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
child's health and safety or are unavailable and such

HB3655 Engrossed - 151 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
placement would be for their best interest. Payment for board,
clothing, care, training and supervision of any child placed
in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of
those children, or by both the Department and the parents or
guardians, except that no payments shall be made by the
Department for any child placed in a licensed child care
facility for board, clothing, care, training and supervision
of such a child that exceed the average per capita cost of
maintaining and of caring for a child in institutions for
dependent or neglected children operated by the Department.
However, such restriction on payments does not apply in cases
where children require specialized care and treatment for
problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
facilities for the placement of such children are not
available at payment rates within the limitations set forth in
this Section. All reimbursements for services delivered shall
be absolutely inalienable by assignment, sale, attachment, or
garnishment or otherwise.
(n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,

HB3655 Engrossed - 152 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
responsibility for the development and delivery of services
under this Section. An eligible youth may access services
under this Section through the Department of Children and
Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
Services. Youth participating in services under this Section
shall cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing
an agreement identifying the services to be provided and how
the youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
Department shall continue child welfare services under this
Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to
child welfare services under this Section and how such
services may be obtained. The Department of Children and
Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall
disseminate this information statewide. The Department shall
adopt regulations describing services intended to assist
minors in achieving sustainable self-sufficiency as
independent adults.
(o) The Department shall establish an administrative

HB3655 Engrossed - 153 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
review and appeal process for children and families who
request or receive child welfare services from the Department.
Youth in care who are placed by private child welfare
agencies, and foster families with whom those youth are
placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
Department, including the right to an initial review of a
private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall
ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
and foster families. The Department shall accept for
administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a
current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate
under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not
constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an
administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
involving a change of placement decision.
(p) (Blank).
(q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of

HB3655 Engrossed - 154 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
money or other property which is received on behalf of such
children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
the Department.
The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
responsible and who have been determined eligible for
Veterans' Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance
allotments from the armed forces, court ordered payments,
parental voluntary payments, Supplemental Security Income,
Railroad Retirement payments, Black Lung benefits, or other
miscellaneous payments. Interest earned by each account shall
be credited to the account, unless disbursed in accordance
with this subsection.
In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
Department shall:
(1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
federal laws for disbursing money from children's
accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
"Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
records of all disbursements for each account for any
purpose.
(2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from

HB3655 Engrossed - 155 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
$13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
$13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
(3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
(r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to
the Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons
who have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names
of such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list
of such names and addresses shall be maintained by the
Department or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
of the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The

HB3655 Engrossed - 156 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
of the child.
(s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
Department of Children and Family Services for damages
sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be
secondary to the foster parent liability insurance policy, if
applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for
such purposes.
(t) The Department shall perform home studies and
investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
(1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
directs the Department to perform such services; and
(2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
with Department rules, or has determined that neither
party is financially able to pay.

HB3655 Engrossed - 157 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
The Department shall provide written notification to the
court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
The Department shall send to the court information related to
the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The
court may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
(u) In addition to other information that must be
provided, whenever the Department places a child with a
prospective adoptive parent or parents, or in a licensed
foster home, group home, or child care institution, or in a
relative home, the Department shall provide to the prospective
adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker:
(1) available detailed information concerning the
child's educational and health history, copies of
immunization records (including insurance and medical card
information), a history of the child's previous
placements, if any, and reasons for placement changes
excluding any information that identifies or reveals the
location of any previous caretaker;
(2) a copy of the child's portion of the client
service plan, including any visitation arrangement, and
all amendments or revisions to it as related to the child;
and
(3) information containing details of the child's
individualized educational plan when the child is

HB3655 Engrossed - 158 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
receiving special education services.
The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or
behavioral information (including, but not limited to,
criminal background, fire setting, perpetuation of sexual
abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to
care for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently
in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of
the information required by this paragraph, which may be
provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in
advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive
parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file
in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency
placement, casework staff shall at least provide known
information verbally, if necessary, and must subsequently
provide the information in writing as required by this
subsection.
The information described in this subsection shall be
provided in writing. In the case of emergency placements when
time does not allow prior review, preparation, and collection
of written information, the Department shall provide such
information as it becomes available. Within 10 business days
after placement, the Department shall obtain from the
prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker a
signed verification of receipt of the information provided.
Within 10 business days after placement, the Department shall

referred to the Office of the Governor's Executive Inspector
General for investigation. The Inspector General shall make
recommendations to the Director of Children and Family
Services concerning sanctions or disciplinary actions against
Department employees or providers of service under contract to
the Department. The Director of Children and Family Services
shall provide the Inspector General with an implementation
report on the status of any corrective actions taken on
recommendations under review and shall continue sending
updated reports until the corrective action is completed. The

independent and separate from the investigation mandated by
the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Inspector
General shall be appointed for a term of 4 years. The Inspector
General shall function independently within the Department of
Children and Family Services with respect to the operations of
the Office of Inspector General, including the performance of
investigations and issuance of findings and recommendations,
and shall report to the Director of Children and Family
Services and the Governor and perform other duties the

duties of the office of Inspector General in the Department of

between the Department and the Illinois Department of State

HB3655 Engrossed - 167 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Police with regard to investigations conducted under the

determines that a possible criminal act has been committed, or
that special expertise is required in the investigation, he or
she shall immediately notify the Illinois Department of State
Police. All investigations conducted by the Inspector General
shall be conducted in a manner designed to ensure the
preservation of evidence for possible use in a criminal
prosecution.
(d) The Inspector General may recommend to the Department
of Children and Family Services, the Department of Public
Health, or any other appropriate agency, sanctions to be
imposed against service providers under the jurisdiction of or

access to any foster home, facility, or program operated for
or licensed or funded by the Department.

Department's capacity as the central administrative authority

HB3655 Engrossed - 168 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

(g) The Inspector General shall have the power to subpoena
witnesses and compel the production of books and papers
pertinent to an investigation authorized by this Act. The
power to subpoena or to compel the production of books and
papers, however, shall not extend to the person or documents
of a labor organization or its representatives insofar as the
person or documents of a labor organization relate to the
function of representing an employee subject to investigation
under this Act. Any person who fails to appear in response to a

false testimony in relation to an investigation under this Act
is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(h) The Inspector General shall provide to the General
Assembly and the Governor, no later than January 1 of each
year, a summary of reports and investigations made under this
Section for the prior fiscal year. The summaries shall detail
the imposition of sanctions and the final disposition of those

investigation in reports compiled under this Section. At the
request of the reporting agent, the Inspector General shall
keep the identity of the reporting agent strictly confidential

with regard to discipline or sanction of the Department
employee, service provider, or contractor, with the exception
of suspected child abuse or neglect which shall be handled
consistent with the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act
and Section 35.5 of this Act. The Department shall take
whatever steps are necessary to assure that a person making a
report in good faith under this Section is not adversely
affected solely on the basis of having made such report.

Office of the Inspector General shall make an expeditious
referral to the respective law enforcement entity. If the
alleged victim is already receiving services from the

make a referral to the respective Department of Human
Services' Division or Bureau.

request.

HB3655 Engrossed - 191 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(n) Written responses, clarification requests, and
reconsideration requests.
(1) Written responses. Within 30 calendar days from
receipt of a substantiated investigative report or an
investigative report which contains recommendations,
absent a reconsideration request, the facility or agency
shall file a written response that addresses, in a concise
and reasoned manner, the actions taken to: (i) protect the
individual; (ii) prevent recurrences; and (iii) eliminate
the problems identified. The response shall include the
implementation and completion dates of such actions. If
the written response is not filed within the allotted 30
calendar day period, the Secretary shall determine the

request that the Office of the Inspector General
reconsider the finding or findings or the recommendations.
A request for reconsideration shall be subject to a
multi-layer review and shall include at least one reviewer
who did not participate in the investigation or approval
of the original investigative report. After the

HB3655 Engrossed - 192 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
multi-layer review process has been completed, the
Inspector General shall make the final determination on
the reconsideration request. The investigation shall be
reopened if the reconsideration determination finds that
additional information is needed to complete the
investigative record.
(o) Disclosure of the finding by the Inspector General.
The Inspector General shall disclose the finding of an
investigation to the following persons: (i) the Governor, (ii)
the Secretary, (iii) the director of the facility or agency,

(p) Secretary review. Upon review of the Inspector
General's investigative report and any agency's or facility's
written response, the Secretary shall accept or reject the
written response and notify the Inspector General of that
determination. The Secretary may further direct that other
administrative action be taken, including, but not limited to,
any one or more of the following: (i) additional site visits,
(ii) training, (iii) provision of technical assistance
relative to administrative needs, licensure, or certification,
or (iv) the imposition of appropriate sanctions.
(q) Action by facility or agency. Within 30 days of the
date the Secretary approves the written response or directs

HB3655 Engrossed - 193 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
that further administrative action be taken, the facility or
agency shall provide an implementation report to the Inspector
General that provides the status of the action taken. The
facility or agency shall be allowed an additional 30 days to

shall send updated implementation reports every 60 days until
completion. The Inspector General shall conduct a review of
any implementation plan that takes more than 120 days after

The Inspector General may seek the assistance of the
Illinois Attorney General or the office of any State's

(1) Reporting to the Registry. The Inspector General
shall report to the Department of Public Health's Health
Care Worker Registry, a public registry, the identity and
finding of each employee of a facility or agency against
whom there is a final investigative report containing a
substantiated allegation of physical or sexual abuse,
financial exploitation, or egregious neglect of an
individual.
(2) Notice to employee. Prior to reporting the name of
an employee, the employee shall be notified of the
Department's obligation to report and shall be granted an
opportunity to request an administrative hearing, the sole
purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated
finding warrants reporting to the Registry. Notice to the
employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of
the grounds on which the report to the Registry is based,
offer the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and
identify the process for requesting such a hearing. Notice
is sufficient if provided by certified mail to the

HB3655 Engrossed - 195 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employee's last known address. If the employee fails to
request a hearing within 30 days from the date of the
notice, the Inspector General shall report the name of the
employee to the Registry. Nothing in this subdivision
(s)(2) shall diminish or impair the rights of a person who
is a member of a collective bargaining unit under the
Illinois Public Labor Relations Act or under any other
federal labor statute.
(3) Registry hearings. If the employee requests an
administrative hearing, the employee shall be granted an
opportunity to appear before an administrative law judge
to present reasons why the employee's name should not be
reported to the Registry. The Department shall bear the
burden of presenting evidence that establishes, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the substantiated
finding warrants reporting to the Registry. After
considering all the evidence presented, the administrative
law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as
to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting
the name of the employee to the Registry. The Secretary
shall render the final decision. The Department and the
employee shall have the right to request that the
administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition
of these proceedings.
(4) Testimony at Registry hearings. A person who makes
a report or who investigates a report under this Act shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 196 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
testify fully in any judicial proceeding resulting from
such a report, as to any evidence of abuse or neglect, or
the cause thereof. No evidence shall be excluded by reason
of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
communications between the alleged perpetrator of abuse or
neglect, or the individual alleged as the victim in the
report, and the person making or investigating the report.
Testimony at hearings is exempt from the confidentiality
requirements of subsection (f) of Section 10 of the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act.
(5) Employee's rights to collateral action. No
reporting to the Registry shall occur and no hearing shall
be set or proceed if an employee notifies the Inspector
General in writing, including any supporting
documentation, that he or she is formally contesting an
adverse employment action resulting from a substantiated
finding by complaint filed with the Illinois Civil Service
Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the
employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective
bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer
against an employee as a result of a finding of physical
abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned
through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining
agreement and if that employee's name has already been
sent to the Registry, the employee's name shall be removed

HB3655 Engrossed - 197 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
from the Registry.
(6) Removal from Registry. At any time after the
report to the Registry, but no more than once in any
12-month period, an employee may petition the Department
in writing to remove his or her name from the Registry.
Upon receiving notice of such request, the Inspector
General shall conduct an investigation into the petition.
Upon receipt of such request, an administrative hearing
will be set by the Department. At the hearing, the
employee shall bear the burden of presenting evidence that
establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, that
removal of the name from the Registry is in the public
interest. The parties may jointly request that the
administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition
of these proceedings.
(t) Review of Administrative Decisions. The Department
shall preserve a record of all proceedings at any formal
hearing conducted by the Department involving Health Care
Worker Registry hearings. Final administrative decisions of
the Department are subject to judicial review pursuant to
provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
(u) Quality Care Board. There is created, within the
Office of the Inspector General, a Quality Care Board to be
composed of 7 members appointed by the Governor with the
advice and consent of the Senate. One of the members shall be
designated as chairman by the Governor. Of the initial

disability. Members shall serve without compensation, but
shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with
the performance of their duties as members.
The Board shall meet quarterly, and may hold other
meetings on the call of the chairman. Four members shall
constitute a quorum allowing the Board to conduct its
business. The Board may adopt rules and regulations it deems
necessary to govern its own procedures.
The Board shall monitor and oversee the operations,
policies, and procedures of the Inspector General to ensure
the prompt and thorough investigation of allegations of
neglect and abuse. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the
Board may do the following:

HB3655 Engrossed - 199 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

training activities authorized under this Section.
(4) Recommend policies concerning methods for
improving the intergovernmental relationships between the
Office of the Inspector General and other State or federal
offices.
(v) Annual report. The Inspector General shall provide to
the General Assembly and the Governor, no later than January 1
of each year, a summary of reports and investigations made
under this Act for the prior fiscal year with respect to
individuals receiving mental health or developmental
disabilities services. The report shall detail the imposition
of sanctions, if any, and the final disposition of any
corrective or administrative action directed by the Secretary.
The summaries shall not contain any confidential or
identifying information of any individual, but shall include
objective data identifying any trends in the number of
reported allegations, the timeliness of the Office of the
Inspector General's investigations, and their disposition, for
each facility and Department-wide, for the most recent 3-year

HB3655 Engrossed - 200 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
time period. The report shall also identify, by facility, the

The Auditor General shall conduct the program audit according
to the provisions of the Illinois State Auditing Act and shall
report its findings to the General Assembly no later than
January 1 following the audit period.
(x) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to mean
that an individual is a victim of abuse or neglect because of
health care services appropriately provided or not provided by
health care professionals.
(y) Nothing in this Section shall require a facility,
including its employees, agents, medical staff members, and
health care professionals, to provide a service to an
individual in contravention of that individual's stated or
implied objection to the provision of that service on the
ground that that service conflicts with the individual's
religious beliefs or practices, nor shall the failure to

HB3655 Engrossed - 201 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provide a service to an individual be considered abuse under
this Section if the individual has objected to the provision
of that service based on his or her religious beliefs or
practices.

(c) For the purpose of securing and preparing evidence,

pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or
to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or interest, as
required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois

issue a license or renewal if the person has established a
satisfactory repayment record as determined by the Illinois

In addition, a complaint filed with the Department by the
Illinois Department of Revenue that includes a certification,
signed by its Director or designee, attesting to the amount of
the unpaid tax liability or the years for which a return was

failure to comply with the tax laws administered by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 219 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Illinois Department of Revenue. Upon receipt of that
certification, the Department shall, without a hearing,

Enforcement of the Department's order shall be stayed for 60
days. The Department shall provide notice of the suspension to
the licensee by mailing a copy of the Department's order to the

advise the licensee that the suspension shall be effective 60
days after the issuance of the Department's order unless the
Department receives, from the licensee, a request for a
hearing before the Department to dispute the matters contained
in the order.
Any suspension imposed under this subsection (g) shall be

used immediately adjacent to the title of a profession
regulated by the Department, to eligible retirees. For

Patients' Right to Know Act. The use of the title "Retired"

HB3655 Engrossed - 220 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall not constitute representation of current licensure,
registration, or certification. Any person without an active
license, registration, or certificate in a profession that
requires licensure, registration, or certification shall not
be permitted to practice that profession.
(i) The Department shall make available on its website
general information explaining how the Department utilizes
criminal history information in making licensure application

record databases now and hereafter filed. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall charge applicants or

check, which shall be deposited into the State Police Services
Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the records check.
The Illinois Department of State Police shall furnish,
pursuant to positive identification, records of Illinois

(1) The World Health Organization characterizes
hepatitis as a disease of primary concern to humanity.

damage has occurred.

HB3655 Engrossed - 223 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(3) Studies indicate that nearly 4 million Americans
(1.8 percent of the population) carry the virus HCV that
causes the disease.
(4) 30,000 acute new infections occur each year in the
United States, and only 25 to 30 percent are diagnosed.
(5) 8,000 to 10,000 Americans die from the disease
each year.
(6) 200,000 Illinois residents may be carriers and
could develop the debilitating and potentially deadly
liver disease.
(7) Inmates of correctional facilities have a higher
incidence of hepatitis and, upon their release, present a
significant health risk to the general population.
(8) Illinois members of the armed services are subject
to an increased risk of contracting hepatitis due to their
possible receipt of contaminated blood during a
transfusion occurring for the treatment of wounds and due
to their service in areas of the World where the disease is
more prevalent and healthcare is less capable of detecting
and treating the disease. Many of these service members
are unaware of the danger of hepatitis and their increased
risk of contracting the disease.
(b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall conduct
an education and outreach campaign, in addition to its overall
effort to prevent infectious disease in Illinois, in order to
raise awareness about and promote prevention of hepatitis.

Department shall develop and make available to physicians,
other health care providers, members of the armed services,
and other persons subject to an increased risk of contracting
hepatitis, educational materials, in written and electronic
forms, on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the
disease. These materials shall include the recommendations of

other persons or entities determined by the Department to have
particular expertise on hepatitis, including the American
Liver Foundation. These materials shall be written in terms
that are understandable by members of the general public.

including, but not limited to, the American Liver Foundation.
The Director shall also appoint interested members of the
public, including consumers and providers of health services
and representatives of local public health agencies, to
provide recommendations and information to the members of the
Advisory Council. Members of the Advisory Council shall serve
on a voluntary, unpaid basis and are not entitled to

accused shall be afforded full opportunity to be heard in his
or her own defense and to produce proof in his or her defense.

have the complaint supported by a sworn affidavit. Any such
complaint, having been supported by a sworn affidavit, and
having been found, in total or in part, to contain false
information, shall be presented to the appropriate State's
Attorney for a determination of prosecution.
Before any such officer may be interrogated or examined by

HB3655 Engrossed - 298 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or before the Board, or by an Illinois State Police a

hearing, interrogation or examination may be the basis for

days or his or her removal or discharge, he or she shall be
advised in writing as to what specific improper or illegal act
he or she is alleged to have committed; he or she shall be
advised in writing that his or her admissions made in the

who may be present to advise him or her at any hearing,
interrogation or examination. A complete record of any

production of books and papers in support of the charges and
for the defense. Each member of the Board or a designated
hearing officer shall have the power to administer oaths or
affirmations. If the charges against an accused are
established by a preponderance of evidence, the Board shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 299 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
make a finding of guilty and order either removal, demotion,
suspension for a period of not more than 180 days, or such
other disciplinary punishment as may be prescribed by the
rules and regulations of the Board which, in the opinion of the
members thereof, the offense merits. Thereupon the Director
shall direct such removal or other punishment as ordered by
the Board and if the accused refuses to abide by any such
disciplinary order, the Director shall remove him or her
forthwith.
If the accused is found not guilty or has served a period
of suspension greater than prescribed by the Board, the Board
shall order that the officer receive compensation for the
period involved. The award of compensation shall include
interest at the rate of 7% per annum.
The Board may include in its order appropriate sanctions
based upon the Board's rules and regulations. If the Board
finds that a party has made allegations or denials without
reasonable cause or has engaged in frivolous litigation for
the purpose of delay or needless increase in the cost of
litigation, it may order that party to pay the other party's
reasonable expenses, including costs and reasonable attorney's
fees. The State of Illinois and the Illinois State Police
Department shall be subject to these sanctions in the same
manner as other parties.

subpoena issued by the Board, any circuit court, upon

HB3655 Engrossed - 300 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

to appear before the Board and give testimony or produce
evidence, and any failure to obey such order is punishable by
the court as a contempt thereof.

amendments and modifications thereof, and the rules adopted
pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings
for the judicial review of any order of the Board rendered
pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

Section 230. The Criminal Diversion Racial Impact Data
Collection Act is amended by changing Sections 5 and 15 as
follows:
(20 ILCS 2637/5)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2021)
Sec. 5. Legislative intent. Racial and ethnic disparity in
the criminal justice system, or the over-representation of
certain minority groups compared to their representation in
the general population, has been well documented, along with
the harmful effects of such disproportionality. There is no
single cause of the racial and ethnic disparity evident at
every stage of the criminal justice system; suggested causes
have included differing patterns of criminal activity, law
enforcement activity, and discretionary decisions of criminal
justice practitioners, along with effects of legislative
policies. In order to make progress in reducing this harmful
phenomenon, information on the racial composition of offenders
at each stage of the criminal justice system must be
systematically gathered and analyzed to lay the foundation for
determining the impact of proposed remedies. Gaps of
information at any stage will hamper valid analysis at

HB3655 Engrossed - 371 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subsequent stages. At the earliest stages of the criminal
justice system, systematic statewide information on arrested
persons, including race and ethnicity, is collected in the
Illinois State Police Criminal History Record Information
System. However, under the Criminal Identification Act,
systematic statewide information on the racial and ethnic
composition of adults diverted from arrest by law enforcement
and diverted from prosecution by each county's State's
Attorney's office is not available. Therefore, it is the
intent of this legislation to provide a mechanism by which
statewide data on the race and ethnicity of offenders diverted
from the criminal justice system before the filing of a court
case can be provided by the criminal justice entity involved
for future racial disparity impact analyses of the criminal
justice system.

the number of persons arrested and released without being
charged, and report the racial and ethnic composition of those
persons.

HB3655 Engrossed - 372 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(b) Under the reporting guidelines for State's Attorneys
in Sections 2.1, 4.5, and 5 of the Criminal Identification
Act, the Authority shall determine and report the number of
persons for which formal charges were dismissed, and the race
and ethnicity of those persons.
(c) Under the reporting guidelines for circuit court
clerks in Sections 2.1, 4.5, and 5 of the Criminal
Identification Act, the Authority shall determine and report
the number of persons admitted to a diversion from prosecution
program, and the racial and ethnic composition of those

Sec. 1109. Demand and Seizure. In addition to any other
remedy provided for by the laws of this State, if the tax
imposed by this Act is not paid within the time required by
this Act, the Department, or some person designated by it, may
cause a demand to be made on the taxpayer for the payment
thereof. If such tax remains unpaid for 10 days after such
demand has been made and no proceedings have been taken to
review the same, the Department may issue a warrant directed
to any sheriff or other person authorized to serve process,
commanding the sheriff or other person to levy upon the
property and rights to property (whether real or personal,

HB3655 Engrossed - 445 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
tangible or intangible) of the taxpayer, without exemption,
found within his jurisdiction, for the payment of the amount
thereof with the added penalties, interest and the cost of
executing the warrant. The term "levy" includes the power of
distraint and seizure by any means. In any case in which the
warrant to levy has been issued, the sheriff or other person to
whom the warrant was directed may seize and sell such property
or rights to property. Such warrant shall be returned to the
Department together with the money collected by virtue thereof
within the time therein specified, which shall not be less
than 20 nor more than 90 days from the date of the warrant. The
sheriff or other person to whom such warrant is directed shall
proceed in the same manner as prescribed by law in respect to
the enforcement against property upon judgments by a court,
and shall be entitled to the same fees for his services in
executing the warrant, to be collected in the same manner. The
Department, or some officer, employee or agent designated by
it, is hereby authorized to bid for and purchase any property
sold under the provisions hereof. No proceedings for a levy
under this Section shall be commenced more than 20 years after
the latest date for filing of the notice of lien under the
provisions of Section 1103, without regard to whether such
notice was actually filed.
Any officer or employee of the Department designated in
writing by the Director is authorized to serve process under
this Section to levy upon accounts or other intangible assets

HB3655 Engrossed - 446 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of a taxpayer held by a financial organization, as defined in
Section 1501 of this Act. In addition to any other provisions
of this Section, any officer or employee of the Department
designated in writing by the Director may levy upon the
following property and rights to property belonging to a
taxpayer: contractual payments, accounts and notes receivable
and other evidences of debt, and interest on bonds, by serving
a notice of levy on the person making such payment. Levy shall
not be made until the Department has caused a demand to be made
on the taxpayer in the manner provided above. In addition to
any other provisions of this Section, any officer or employee
of the Department designated in writing by the Director, may
levy upon the salary, wages, commissions and bonuses of any
employee, including officers, employees, or elected officials
of the United States as authorized by Section 5520a of the
Government Organization and Employees Act (5 U.S.C. 5520a),
but not upon the salary or wages of officers, employees, or
elected officials of any state other than this State, by
serving a notice of levy on the employer, as defined in Section
701(d). Levy shall not be made until the Department has caused
a demand to be made on the employee in the manner provided
above. The provisions of Section 12-803 of the Code of Civil
Procedure relating to maximum compensation subject to
collection under wage deduction orders shall apply to all
levies made upon compensation under this Section. To the
extent of the amount due on the levy, the employer or other

HB3655 Engrossed - 447 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
person making payments to the taxpayer shall hold any
non-exempt wages or other payments due or which subsequently
come due. The levy or balance due thereon is a lien on wages or
other payments due at the time of the service of the notice of
levy, and such lien shall continue as to subsequent earnings
and other payments until the total amount due upon the levy is
paid, except that such lien on subsequent earnings or other
payments shall terminate sooner if the employment relationship
is terminated or if the notice of levy is rescinded or
modified. The employer or other person making payments to the
taxpayer shall file, on or before the return dates stated in
the notice of levy (which shall not be more often than
bimonthly) a written answer under oath to interrogatories,
setting forth the amount due as wages or other payments to the
taxpayer for the payment periods ending immediately prior to
the appropriate return date. A lien obtained hereunder shall
have priority over any subsequent lien obtained pursuant to
Section 12-808 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except that
liens for the support of a spouse or dependent children shall
have priority over all liens obtained hereunder.
In any case where property or rights to property have been
seized by an officer of the Illinois Department of State
Police, or successor agency thereto, under the authority of a
warrant to levy issued by the Department of Revenue, the
Department of Revenue may take possession of and may sell such
property or rights to property and the Department of Revenue

HB3655 Engrossed - 448 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
may contract with third persons to conduct sales of such
property or rights to the property. In the conduct of such
sales, the Department of Revenue shall proceed in the same
manner as is prescribed by law for proceeding against property
to enforce judgments which are entered by a circuit court of
this State. If, in the Department of Revenue's opinion, no
offer to purchase at such sale is acceptable and the State's
interest would be better served by retaining the property for
sale at a later date, then the Department may decline to accept
any bid and may retain the property for sale at a later date.

(40 ILCS 5/14-123.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 14-123.1)
Sec. 14-123.1. Temporary disability benefit.
(a) A member who has at least 18 months of creditable
service and who becomes physically or mentally incapacitated
to perform the duties of his position shall receive a
temporary disability benefit, provided that:
(1) the agency responsible for determining the
liability of the State (i) has formally denied all
employer-paid temporary total disability benefits under
the Workers' Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational
Diseases Act and an appeal of that denial is pending
before the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, or
(ii) has granted and then terminated for any reason an

HB3655 Engrossed - 488 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employer-paid temporary total disability benefit and the
member has filed a petition for a hearing under Section
19(b) or Section 19(b-1) of the Workers' Compensation Act
or Section 19(b) or Section 19(b-1) of the Workers'
Occupational Diseases Act;
(2) application is made after the date that the
disability results in loss of pay, and after the date the
agency responsible for determining the liability of the
State under the Workers' Compensation Act or Workers'
Occupational Diseases Act has formally denied or
terminated the employer-paid temporary total disability
benefit; and
(3) proper proof is received from one or more licensed
health care professionals designated by the Board
certifying that the member is mentally or physically
incapacitated.
(b) In the case of a denial of benefits, the temporary
disability benefit shall begin to accrue on the 31st day of
absence from work on account of disability, but the benefit
shall not become actually payable to the member until the
expiration of 31 days from the day upon which the member last
received or had a right to receive any compensation.
In the case of termination of an employer-paid temporary
total disability benefit, the temporary disability benefit
under this Section shall be calculated from the day following
the date of termination of the employer-paid benefit or the

HB3655 Engrossed - 489 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
31st day of absence from work on account of disability,
whichever is later, but shall not become payable to the member
until (i) the member's right to an employer-paid temporary
total disability benefit is denied as a result of the hearing
held under Section 19(b) or Section 19(b-1) of the Workers'
Compensation Act or Section 19(b) or Section 19(b-1) of the
Workers' Occupational Diseases Act or (ii) the expiration of
30 days from the date of termination of the employer-paid
benefit, whichever occurs first. If a terminated employer-paid
temporary total disability benefit is resumed or replaced with
another employer-paid disability benefit and the resumed or
replacement benefit is later terminated and the member again
files a petition for a hearing under Section 19(b) or Section
19(b-1) of the Workers' Compensation Act or Section 19(b) or
Section 19(b-1) of the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, the
member may again become eligible to receive a temporary
disability benefit under this Section. The waiting period
before the temporary disability benefit under this Section
becomes payable applies each time that the benefit is
reinstated.
The benefit shall continue to accrue until the first of
the following events occurs:
(1) the disability ceases;
(2) the member engages in gainful employment;
(3) the end of the month in which the member attains
age 65, in the case of benefits commencing prior to

HB3655 Engrossed - 490 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
attainment of age 60;
(4) the end of the month following the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of the benefit in the
case of benefits commencing on or after attainment of age
60;
(5) the end of the month in which the death of the
member occurs;
(6) the end of the month in which the aggregate period
for which temporary disability payments have been made
becomes equal to 1/2 of the member's total period of
creditable service, not including the time for which he
has received a temporary disability benefit or
nonoccupational disability benefit; for purposes of this
item (6) only, in the case of a member to whom Section
14-108.2a or 14-108.2b applies and who, at the time
disability commences, is performing services for the
Illinois Department of Public Health or the Illinois
Department of State Police relating to the transferred
functions referred to in that Section and has less than 10
years of creditable service under this Article, the
member's "total period of creditable service" shall be
augmented by an amount equal to (i) one half of the
member's period of creditable service in the Fund
established under Article 8 (excluding any creditable
service over 20 years), minus (ii) the amount of the
member's creditable service under this Article;

HB3655 Engrossed - 491 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(7) a payment is made on the member's claim pursuant
to a determination made by the agency responsible for
determining the liability of the State under the Workers'
Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational Diseases
Act;
(8) a final determination is made on the member's
claim by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
(c) The temporary disability benefit shall be 50% of the
member's final average compensation at the date of disability.
If a covered employee is eligible under the Social
Security Act for a disability benefit before attaining the
Social Security full retirement age, or a retirement benefit
on or after attaining the Social Security full retirement age,
then the amount of the member's temporary disability benefit
shall be reduced by the amount of primary benefit the member is
eligible to receive under the Social Security Act, whether or
not such eligibility came about as the result of service as a
covered employee under this Article. The Board may make such
reduction pending a determination of eligibility if it appears
that the employee may be so eligible, and shall make an
appropriate adjustment if necessary after such determination
has been made. The amount of temporary disability benefit
payable under this Article shall not be reduced by reason of
any increase in benefits payable under the Social Security Act
which occurs after the reduction required by this paragraph
has been applied. As used in this subsection, "Social Security

HB3655 Engrossed - 492 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
full retirement age" means the age at which an individual is
eligible to receive full Social Security retirement benefits.
(d) The temporary disability benefit provided under this
Section is intended as a temporary payment of occupational or
nonoccupational disability benefit, whichever is appropriate,
in cases in which the occupational or nonoccupational
character of the disability has not been finally determined.
When an employer-paid disability benefit is paid or
resumed, the Board shall calculate the benefit that is payable
under Section 14-123 and shall deduct from the benefit payable
under Section 14-123 the amounts already paid under this
Section; those amounts shall then be treated as if they had
been paid under Section 14-123.
When a final determination of the character of the
disability has been made by the Illinois Workers' Compensation
Commission, or by settlement between the parties to the
disputed claim, the Board shall calculate the benefit that is
payable under Section 14-123 or 14-124, whichever is
applicable, and shall deduct from such benefit the amounts
already paid under this Section; such amounts shall then be
treated as if they had been paid under such Section 14-123 or
14-124.
(e) Any excess benefits paid under this Section shall be
subject to recovery by the System from benefits payable under
the Workers' Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational
Diseases Act or from third parties as provided in Section

HB3655 Engrossed - 493 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
14-129, or from any other benefits payable either to the
member or on his behalf under this Article. A member who
accepts benefits under this Section acknowledges and
authorizes these recovery rights of the System.
(f) Service credits under the State Universities
Retirement System and the Teachers' Retirement System of the
State of Illinois shall be considered for the purposes of
determining temporary disability benefit eligibility under
this Section, and for determining the total period of time for
which such benefits are payable.
(g) The Board shall prescribe rules and regulations
governing the filing of claims for temporary disability
benefits, and the investigation, control and supervision of
such claims.
(h) References in this Section to employer-paid benefits
include benefits paid for by the State, either directly or
through a program of insurance or self-insurance, whether paid
through the member's own department or through some other
department or entity; but the term does not include benefits
paid by the System under this Article.

Sec. 14-124. Nonoccupational disability benefit. A member
with at least 1 1/2 years of creditable service may be granted
a nonoccupational disability benefit, if:

HB3655 Engrossed - 494 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) application for the benefit is made to the system
by the member in writing after the commencement of
disability;
(2) the member is found upon medical examination to be
mentally or physically incapacitated to perform the duties
of the member's position;
(3) the disability resulted from a cause other than an
injury or illness sustained in connection with the
member's performance of duty as a State employee;
(4) the member has been granted a leave of absence for
disability at the time of commencement of disability.
Renewal of a disability leave of absence shall not be
required for the continued payment of benefits; and
(5) the member has used all accumulated sick leave
available at the beginning of the leave of absence for
disability.
The benefit shall begin to accrue on the latest of (i) the
31st day of absence from work on account of disability
(including any periods of such absence for which sick pay was
received); or (ii) the day following the day on which the
member last receives or has a right to receive any
compensation as an employee, including any sick pay. The
benefit shall continue to accrue until the first of the
following to occur:
(a) the date on which disability ceases;
(b) the end of the month in which the member attains

HB3655 Engrossed - 495 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
age 65 in the case of benefits commencing prior to
attainment of age 60;
(c) the end of the month following the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of the benefit, or of
the temporary disability benefit if one was received, in
the case of benefits commencing on or after attainment of
age 60;
(d) the end of the month in which the aggregate period
for which non-occupational disability and temporary
disability benefit payments have been made becomes equal
to 1/2 of the member's total period of creditable service,
not including the time during which he has received a
temporary disability benefit or nonoccupational disability
benefit; for purposes of this item (d) only, in the case of
a member to whom Section 14-108.2a or 14-108.2b applies
and who, at the time disability commences, is performing
services for the Illinois Department of Public Health or
the Illinois Department of State Police relating to the
transferred functions referred to in that Section and has
less than 10 years of creditable service under this
Article, the member's "total period of creditable service"
shall be augmented by an amount equal to (i) one half of
the member's period of creditable service in the Fund
established under Article 8 (excluding any creditable
service over 20 years), minus (ii) the amount of the
member's creditable service under this Article;

HB3655 Engrossed - 496 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(e) the date on which the member engages in gainful
employment;
(f) the end of the month in which the death of the
member occurs.
If disability has ceased and the member again becomes
disabled within 60 days from date of resumption of State
employment, and if the disability is due to the same cause for
which he received nonoccupational disability benefit
immediately preceding such reentry into service, the 30 days
waiting period prescribed for the receipt of benefits is
waived as to such new period of disability.
A member shall be considered disabled only when the board
has received:
(a) a written certificate by one or more licensed
health care professionals designated by the board,
certifying that the member is disabled and unable properly
to perform the duties of his position at the time of
disability; and
(b) the employee certifies that he is not and has not
been engaged in gainful employment.
The board shall prescribe rules and regulations governing
the filing of claims for nonoccupational disability benefits,

System and the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of
Illinois shall be considered for the purposes of

HB3655 Engrossed - 497 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
nonoccupational disability benefit eligibility under this
Article and for the total period of time for which such
benefits are payable.

Sec. 6.1. Decertification of full-time and part-time
police officers.
(a) The Board must review police officer conduct and
records to ensure that no police officer is certified or
provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been
convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, a felony offense
under the laws of this State or any other state which if
committed in this State would be punishable as a felony. The
Board must also ensure that no police officer is certified or
provided a valid waiver if that police officer has been
convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999 of any
misdemeanor specified in this Section or if committed in any
other state would be an offense similar to Section 11-1.50,
11-6, 11-9.1, 11-14, 11-17, 11-19, 12-2, 12-15, 16-1, 17-1,
17-2, 28-3, 29-1, 31-1, 31-6, 31-7, 32-4a, or 32-7 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, to
subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2)(C) of Section 11-14.3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or
subsection (a) of Section 17-32 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
the Criminal Code of 2012, or to Section 5 or 5.2 of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 501 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Cannabis Control Act. The Board must appoint investigators to
enforce the duties conferred upon the Board by this Act.
(b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief
executive officer of every local law enforcement agency or
department within this State to report to the Board any
arrest, conviction, or plea of guilty of any officer for an
offense identified in this Section.
(c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time
and part-time police officer in this State to report to the
Board within 30 days, and the officer's sheriff or chief
executive officer, of his or her arrest, conviction, or plea
of guilty for an offense identified in this Section. Any
full-time or part-time police officer who knowingly makes,
submits, causes to be submitted, or files a false or
untruthful report to the Board must have his or her
certificate or waiver immediately decertified or revoked.
(d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is
immune from liability for submitting, disclosing, or releasing
information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in
this Section as long as the information is submitted,
disclosed, or released in good faith and without malice. The
Board has qualified immunity for the release of the
information.

Section immediately becomes decertified or no longer has a
valid waiver. The decertification and invalidity of waivers
occurs as a matter of law. Failure of a convicted person to
report to the Board his or her conviction as described in this
Section or any continued law enforcement practice after

sheriff's, and these investigators may exercise those powers
anywhere in the State. An investigator shall not have peace
officer status or exercise police powers unless he or she
successfully completes the basic police training course
mandated and approved by the Board or the Board waives the
training requirement by reason of the investigator's prior law
enforcement experience, training, or both. The Board shall not
waive the training requirement unless the investigator has had

maintained by the Illinois Department of State Police. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation must provide the Board any
criminal history record information contained in its files
pertaining to law enforcement officers or any applicant to a
Board certified basic law enforcement academy as described in
this Act based on fingerprint identification. The Board must
make payment of fees to the Illinois Department of State
Police for each fingerprint card submission in conformance
with the requirements of paragraph 22 of Section 55a of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
(h) A police officer who has been certified or granted a
valid waiver shall also be decertified or have his or her
waiver revoked upon a determination by the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel that he or she, while under oath,
has knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a
material fact going to an element of the offense of murder. If
an appeal is filed, the determination shall be stayed.
(1) In the case of an acquittal on a charge of murder,
a verified complaint may be filed:
(A) by the defendant; or
(B) by a police officer with personal knowledge of
perjured testimony.
The complaint must allege that a police officer, while

HB3655 Engrossed - 504 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements
as to a material fact going to an element of the offense of
murder. The verified complaint must be filed with the
Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training Standards Board within 2 years of the judgment of
acquittal.
(2) Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall
review the verified complaint and determine whether the
verified complaint is frivolous and without merit, or
whether further investigation is warranted. The Illinois
Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall notify the
officer and the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel of the filing of the complaint
and any action taken thereon. If the Executive Director of
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board
determines that the verified complaint is frivolous and
without merit, it shall be dismissed. The Executive
Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
Standards Board has sole discretion to make this
determination and this decision is not subject to appeal.
(i) If the Executive Director of the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board determines that the
verified complaint warrants further investigation, he or she
shall refer the matter to a task force of investigators
created for this purpose. This task force shall consist of 8

HB3655 Engrossed - 505 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
sworn police officers: 2 from the Illinois State Police, 2
from the City of Chicago Police Department, 2 from county
police departments, and 2 from municipal police departments.
These investigators shall have a minimum of 5 years of
experience in conducting criminal investigations. The
investigators shall be appointed by the Executive Director of
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board. Any
officer or officers acting in this capacity pursuant to this
statutory provision will have statewide police authority while
acting in this investigative capacity. Their salaries and
expenses for the time spent conducting investigations under
this paragraph shall be reimbursed by the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board.
(j) Once the Executive Director of the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board has determined that an
investigation is warranted, the verified complaint shall be
assigned to an investigator or investigators. The investigator
or investigators shall conduct an investigation of the
verified complaint and shall write a report of his or her
findings. This report shall be submitted to the Executive
Director of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel.
Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel shall review the
investigative report and determine whether sufficient evidence
exists to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the verified
complaint. If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor

HB3655 Engrossed - 506 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Relations Board State Panel determines upon his or her review
of the investigatory report that a hearing should not be
conducted, the complaint shall be dismissed. This decision is
in the Executive Director's sole discretion, and this
dismissal may not be appealed.
If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel determines that there is sufficient evidence
to warrant a hearing, a hearing shall be ordered on the
verified complaint, to be conducted by an administrative law
judge employed by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel. The Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel shall inform the Executive Director of the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
person who filed the complaint of either the dismissal of the
complaint or the issuance of the complaint for hearing. The
Executive Director shall assign the complaint to the
administrative law judge within 30 days of the decision
granting a hearing.
(k) In the case of a finding of guilt on the offense of
murder, if a new trial is granted on direct appeal, or a state
post-conviction evidentiary hearing is ordered, based on a
claim that a police officer, under oath, knowingly and
willfully made false statements as to a material fact going to
an element of the offense of murder, the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel shall hold a hearing to determine
whether the officer should be decertified if an interested

HB3655 Engrossed - 507 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
party requests such a hearing within 2 years of the court's
decision. The complaint shall be assigned to an administrative
law judge within 30 days so that a hearing can be scheduled.
At the hearing, the accused officer shall be afforded the
opportunity to:
(1) Be represented by counsel of his or her own
choosing;
(2) Be heard in his or her own defense;
(3) Produce evidence in his or her defense;
(4) Request that the Illinois Labor Relations Board
State Panel compel the attendance of witnesses and
production of related documents including but not limited
to court documents and records.
Once a case has been set for hearing, the verified
complaint shall be referred to the Department of Professional
Regulation. That office shall prosecute the verified complaint
at the hearing before the administrative law judge. The
Department of Professional Regulation shall have the
opportunity to produce evidence to support the verified
complaint and to request the Illinois Labor Relations Board
State Panel to compel the attendance of witnesses and the
production of related documents, including, but not limited
to, court documents and records. The Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel shall have the power to issue subpoenas
requiring the attendance of and testimony of witnesses and the
production of related documents including, but not limited to,

HB3655 Engrossed - 508 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
court documents and records and shall have the power to
administer oaths.
The administrative law judge shall have the responsibility
of receiving into evidence relevant testimony and documents,
including court records, to support or disprove the
allegations made by the person filing the verified complaint
and, at the close of the case, hear arguments. If the
administrative law judge finds that there is not clear and
convincing evidence to support the verified complaint that the
police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and willfully
made false statements as to a material fact going to an element
of the offense of murder, the administrative law judge shall
make a written recommendation of dismissal to the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel. If the administrative law
judge finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that
the police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and
willfully made false statements as to a material fact that
goes to an element of the offense of murder, the
administrative law judge shall make a written recommendation
so concluding to the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel. The hearings shall be transcribed. The Executive
Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards
Board shall be informed of the administrative law judge's
recommended findings and decision and the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel's subsequent review of the
recommendation.

HB3655 Engrossed - 509 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(l) An officer named in any complaint filed pursuant to
this Act shall be indemnified for his or her reasonable
attorney's fees and costs by his or her employer. These fees
shall be paid in a regular and timely manner. The State, upon
application by the public employer, shall reimburse the public
employer for the accused officer's reasonable attorney's fees
and costs. At no time and under no circumstances will the
accused officer be required to pay his or her own reasonable
attorney's fees or costs.
(m) The accused officer shall not be placed on unpaid
status because of the filing or processing of the verified
complaint until there is a final non-appealable order
sustaining his or her guilt and his or her certification is
revoked. Nothing in this Act, however, restricts the public
employer from pursuing discipline against the officer in the
normal course and under procedures then in place.
(n) The Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall
review the administrative law judge's recommended decision and
order and determine by a majority vote whether or not there was
clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as
to a material fact going to the offense of murder. Within 30
days of service of the administrative law judge's recommended
decision and order, the parties may file exceptions to the
recommended decision and order and briefs in support of their
exceptions with the Illinois Labor Relations Board State

HB3655 Engrossed - 510 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Panel. The parties may file responses to the exceptions and
briefs in support of the responses no later than 15 days after
the service of the exceptions. If exceptions are filed by any
of the parties, the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel
shall review the matter and make a finding to uphold, vacate,
or modify the recommended decision and order. If the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel concludes that there is
clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as
to a material fact going to an element of the offense murder,
the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall inform
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall revoke
the accused officer's certification. If the accused officer
appeals that determination to the Appellate Court, as provided
by this Act, he or she may petition the Appellate Court to stay
the revocation of his or her certification pending the court's
review of the matter.
(o) None of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel's findings or determinations shall set any precedent in
any of its decisions decided pursuant to the Illinois Public
Labor Relations Act by the Illinois Labor Relations Board
State Panel or the courts.
(p) A party aggrieved by the final order of the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel may apply for and obtain
judicial review of an order of the Illinois Labor Relations

HB3655 Engrossed - 511 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Board State Panel, in accordance with the provisions of the
Administrative Review Law, except that such judicial review
shall be afforded directly in the Appellate Court for the
district in which the accused officer resides. Any direct
appeal to the Appellate Court shall be filed within 35 days
from the date that a copy of the decision sought to be reviewed
was served upon the party affected by the decision.
(q) Interested parties. Only interested parties to the
criminal prosecution in which the police officer allegedly,
while under oath, knowingly and willfully made false
statements as to a material fact going to an element of the
offense of murder may file a verified complaint pursuant to

not be used for ongoing operating costs associated with the
consolidated system. The Illinois State Police Department, in
consultation with the Administrator and the Statewide 9-1-1
Advisory Board, shall adopt rules defining the grant process
and criteria for issuing the grants. The grants should be
awarded based on criteria that include, but are not limited
to:

support of the consolidation plan. The Administrator shall
have until June 30, 2016 and every June 30 thereafter to
approve 9-1-1 System Consolidation grants and modified 9-1-1
system plans. Payment under the approved 9-1-1 System
Consolidation grants shall be contingent upon the final
approval of a modified 9-1-1 system plan.
(c) Existing and previously completed consolidation
projects shall be eligible to apply for reimbursement of costs
related to the consolidation incurred between 2010 and the
State fiscal year of the application.
(d) The 9-1-1 systems that receive grants under this
Section shall provide a report detailing grant fund usage to

jurisdiction by notifying the Administrator in writing within
6 months after receiving its authority to operate a 9-1-1
system under this Act. In addition, 2 or more emergency
telephone system boards or qualified governmental entities
may, by virtue of an intergovernmental agreement, provide
wireless 9-1-1 service. Until the jurisdiction comes into
compliance with Section 15.4a of this Act, the Illinois
Department of State Police shall be the primary wireless 9-1-1
public safety answering point for any jurisdiction that did
not provide notice to the Illinois Commerce Commission and the
Illinois State Police Department prior to January 1, 2016.

(2) The 24/7 10-digit emergency telephone number and
email address for the dispatch agency to which 9-1-1 calls
originating in another 9-1-1 jurisdiction can be
transferred or by which the PSAP can be contacted via
email to exchange information. Each 9-1-1 system shall
provide the Illinois State Police Department with any
changes to the participating agencies and this number and
email address immediately upon the change occurring. Each
9-1-1 system shall provide the PSAP information, the 24/7
10-digit emergency telephone number and email address to
the Manager of the Illinois State Police's Department's

subscribers but not yet collected.
The first remittance by wireless carriers shall include
the number of subscribers by zip code, and the 9-digit zip code
if currently being used or later implemented by the carrier,
that shall be the means by which the Illinois State Police
Department shall determine distributions from the Statewide
9-1-1 Fund. This information shall be updated at least once
each year. Any carrier that fails to provide the zip code
information required under this subsection (e) shall be
subject to the penalty set forth in subsection (g) of this
Section.
(f) If, within 8 calendar days after it is due under
subsection (e) of this Section, a carrier does not remit the
surcharge or any portion thereof required under this Section,
then the surcharge or portion thereof shall be deemed
delinquent until paid in full, and the Illinois State Police
Department may impose a penalty against the carrier in an

HB3655 Engrossed - 594 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
amount equal to the greater of:
(1) $25 for each month or portion of a month from the
time an amount becomes delinquent until the amount is paid
in full; or
(2) an amount equal to the product of 1% and the sum of
all delinquent amounts for each month or portion of a
month that the delinquent amounts remain unpaid.
A penalty imposed in accordance with this subsection (f)
for a portion of a month during which the carrier pays the
delinquent amount in full shall be prorated for each day of
that month that the delinquent amount was paid in full. Any
penalty imposed under this subsection (f) is in addition to
the amount of the delinquency and is in addition to any other
penalty imposed under this Section.
(g) If, within 8 calendar days after it is due, a wireless
carrier does not provide the number of subscribers by zip code
as required under subsection (e) of this Section, then the
report is deemed delinquent and the Illinois State Police
Department may impose a penalty against the carrier in an
amount equal to the greater of:
(1) $25 for each month or portion of a month that the
report is delinquent; or
(2) an amount equal to the product of $0.01 and the
number of subscribers served by the carrier for each month
or portion of a month that the delinquent report is not
provided.

HB3655 Engrossed - 595 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
A penalty imposed in accordance with this subsection (g)
for a portion of a month during which the carrier provides the
number of subscribers by zip code as required under subsection
(e) of this Section shall be prorated for each day of that
month during which the carrier had not provided the number of
subscribers by zip code as required under subsection (e) of
this Section. Any penalty imposed under this subsection (g) is
in addition to any other penalty imposed under this Section.
(h) A penalty imposed and collected in accordance with
subsection (f) or (g) of this Section shall be deposited into
the Statewide 9-1-1 Fund for distribution according to Section
30 of this Act.
(i) The Illinois State Police Department may enforce the
collection of any delinquent amount and any penalty due and
unpaid under this Section by legal action or in any other
manner by which the collection of debts due the State of
Illinois may be enforced under the laws of this State. The
Illinois State Police Department may excuse the payment of any
penalty imposed under this Section if the Administrator
determines that the enforcement of this penalty is unjust.
(j) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
nothing shall impair the right of wireless carriers to recover
compliance costs for all emergency communications services
that are not reimbursed out of the Wireless Carrier
Reimbursement Fund directly from their wireless subscribers by
line-item charges on the wireless subscriber's bill. Those

HB3655 Engrossed - 596 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
compliance costs include all costs incurred by wireless
carriers in complying with local, State, and federal
regulatory or legislative mandates that require the
transmission and receipt of emergency communications to and
from the general public, including, but not limited to,
E9-1-1.

Sec. 55. Public disclosure. Because of the highly
competitive nature of the telephone industry, public
disclosure of information about surcharge moneys paid by
carriers could have the effect of stifling competition to the
detriment of the public and the delivery of 9-1-1 services.

Therefore, the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois
Department of State Police, governmental agencies, and
individuals with access to that information shall take
appropriate steps to prevent public disclosure of this
information. Information and data supporting the amount and
distribution of surcharge moneys collected and remitted by an
individual carrier shall be deemed exempt information for
purposes of the Freedom of Information Act and shall not be
publicly disclosed. The gross amount paid by all carriers
shall not be deemed exempt and may be publicly disclosed.

agent of the Illinois State Police Department in the exercise
of the transferred rights, powers, duties, and functions shall
have the same legal effect as if done by the Commission or an
officer, employee, or agent of the Commission.
The transfer of rights, powers, duties, and functions to
the Illinois State Police Department under Public Act 99-6
does not invalidate any previous action taken by or in respect
to the Commission, its officers, employees, or agents.

HB3655 Engrossed - 612 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Sec. 20. Administration of prepaid wireless 9-1-1
surcharge.
(a) In the administration and enforcement of this Act, the
provisions of Sections 2a, 2b, 2c, 3, 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act that are not inconsistent with
this Act, and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act shall apply, as far as practicable, to the subject matter
of this Act to the same extent as if those provisions were
included in this Act. References to "taxes" in these
incorporated Sections shall be construed to apply to the
administration, payment, and remittance of all surcharges
under this Act. The Department shall establish registration
and payment procedures that substantially coincide with the
registration and payment procedures that apply to the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
(b) A seller shall be permitted to deduct and retain 3% of
prepaid wireless 9-1-1 surcharges that are collected by the
seller from consumers and that are remitted and timely filed
with the Department. Beginning January 1, 2018, the seller is
allowed to deduct and retain a portion of the prepaid wireless
9-1-1 surcharges as authorized by this subsection only if the
return is filed electronically as provided in Section 3 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Sellers who demonstrate that
they do not have access to the Internet or demonstrate
hardship in filing electronically may petition the Department

HB3655 Engrossed - 613 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
to waive the electronic filing requirement.
(c) Other than the amounts for deposit into the Municipal
Wireless Service Emergency Fund, the Department shall pay to
the State Treasurer all prepaid wireless E911 charges,
penalties, and interest collected under this Act for deposit
into the Statewide 9-1-1 Fund. On or before the 25th day of
each calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify
to the Comptroller the amount available to the Illinois
Department of State Police for distribution out of the
Statewide 9-1-1 Fund. The amount certified shall be the amount
(not including credit memoranda) collected during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department plus an amount the
Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts which
were erroneously paid to a different taxing body. The amount
paid to the Statewide 9-1-1 Fund shall not include any amount
equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department of Revenue to
retailers under this Act or any amount that the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts which were
payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously paid
to the Statewide 9-1-1 Fund. The Illinois Department of State
Police shall distribute the funds in accordance with Section
30 of the Emergency Telephone Safety Act. The Department may
deduct an amount, not to exceed 2% of remitted charges, to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund to
reimburse the Department for its direct costs of administering

HB3655 Engrossed - 614 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

9-1-1 surcharges and may adopt and enforce reasonable rules
relating to the administration and enforcement of the
provisions of this Act as may be deemed expedient. The
Department shall require all surcharges collected under this
Act to be reported on existing forms or combined forms,
including, but not limited to, Form ST-1. Any overpayments
received by the Department for liabilities reported on
existing or combined returns shall be applied as an
overpayment of retailers' occupation tax, use tax, service
occupation tax, or service use tax liability.
(e) If a home rule municipality having a population in
excess of 500,000 as of the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 97th General Assembly imposes an E911 surcharge
under subsection (a-5) of Section 15 of this Act, then the
Department shall pay to the State Treasurer all prepaid
wireless E911 charges, penalties, and interest collected for
deposit into the Municipal Wireless Service Emergency Fund.
All deposits into the Municipal Wireless Service Emergency
Fund shall be held by the State Treasurer as ex officio
custodian apart from all public moneys or funds of this State.
Any interest attributable to moneys in the Fund must be
deposited into the Fund. Moneys in the Municipal Wireless
Service Emergency Fund are not subject to appropriation. On or

HB3655 Engrossed - 615 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
before the 25th day of each calendar month, the Department
shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the amount
available for disbursement to the home rule municipality out
of the Municipal Wireless Service Emergency Fund. The amount
to be paid to the Municipal Wireless Service Emergency Fund
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
plus an amount the Department determines is necessary to
offset any amounts which were erroneously paid to a different
taxing body. The amount paid to the Municipal Wireless Service
Emergency Fund shall not include any amount equal to the
amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar
month by the Department to retailers under this Act or any
amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset
any amounts which were payable to a different taxing body but
were erroneously paid to the Municipal Wireless Service
Emergency Fund. Within 10 days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the certification provided for in this
subsection, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn
for the respective amounts in accordance with the directions
in the certification. The Department may deduct an amount, not
to exceed 2% of remitted charges, to be transferred into the
Tax Compliance and Administration Fund to reimburse the
Department for its direct costs of administering the
collection and remittance of prepaid wireless 9-1-1
surcharges.

Section 430. The Counties Code is amended by changing
Section 3-3013 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/3-3013) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-3013)
Sec. 3-3013. Preliminary investigations; blood and urine
analysis; summoning jury; reports. Every coroner, whenever,
as soon as he knows or is informed that the dead body of any
person is found, or lying within his county, whose death is
suspected of being:
(a) A sudden or violent death, whether apparently
suicidal, homicidal or accidental, including but not
limited to deaths apparently caused or contributed to by
thermal, traumatic, chemical, electrical or radiational
injury, or a complication of any of them, or by drowning or
suffocation, or as a result of domestic violence as
defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986;
(b) A death due to a sex crime;
(c) A death where the circumstances are suspicious,
obscure, mysterious or otherwise unexplained or where, in
the written opinion of the attending physician, the cause
of death is not determined;
(d) A death where addiction to alcohol or to any drug
may have been a contributory cause; or
(e) A death where the decedent was not attended by a

HB3655 Engrossed - 617 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
licensed physician;
shall go to the place where the dead body is, and take charge
of the same and shall make a preliminary investigation into
the circumstances of the death. In the case of death without
attendance by a licensed physician the body may be moved with
the coroner's consent from the place of death to a mortuary in
the same county. Coroners in their discretion shall notify
such physician as is designated in accordance with Section
3-3014 to attempt to ascertain the cause of death, either by
autopsy or otherwise.
In cases of accidental death involving a motor vehicle in
which the decedent was (1) the operator or a suspected
operator of a motor vehicle, or (2) a pedestrian 16 years of
age or older, the coroner shall require that a blood specimen
of at least 30 cc., and if medically possible a urine specimen
of at least 30 cc. or as much as possible up to 30 cc., be
withdrawn from the body of the decedent in a timely fashion
after the accident causing his death, by such physician as has
been designated in accordance with Section 3-3014, or by the
coroner or deputy coroner or a qualified person designated by
such physician, coroner, or deputy coroner. If the county does
not maintain laboratory facilities for making such analysis,
the blood and urine so drawn shall be sent to the Illinois
Department of State Police or any other accredited or
State-certified laboratory for analysis of the alcohol, carbon
monoxide, and dangerous or narcotic drug content of such blood

HB3655 Engrossed - 618 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and urine specimens. Each specimen submitted shall be
accompanied by pertinent information concerning the decedent
upon a form prescribed by such laboratory. Any person drawing
blood and urine and any person making any examination of the
blood and urine under the terms of this Division shall be
immune from all liability, civil or criminal, that might
otherwise be incurred or imposed.
In all other cases coming within the jurisdiction of the
coroner and referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (e)
above, blood, and whenever possible, urine samples shall be
analyzed for the presence of alcohol and other drugs. When the
coroner suspects that drugs may have been involved in the
death, either directly or indirectly, a toxicological
examination shall be performed which may include analyses of
blood, urine, bile, gastric contents and other tissues. When
the coroner suspects a death is due to toxic substances, other
than drugs, the coroner shall consult with the toxicologist
prior to collection of samples. Information submitted to the
toxicologist shall include information as to height, weight,
age, sex and race of the decedent as well as medical history,
medications used by and the manner of death of decedent.
When the coroner or medical examiner finds that the cause
of death is due to homicidal means, the coroner or medical
examiner shall cause blood and buccal specimens (tissue may be
submitted if no uncontaminated blood or buccal specimen can be
obtained), whenever possible, to be withdrawn from the body of

HB3655 Engrossed - 619 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the decedent in a timely fashion. For proper preservation of
the specimens, collected blood and buccal specimens shall be
dried and tissue specimens shall be frozen if available
equipment exists. As soon as possible, but no later than 30
days after the collection of the specimens, the coroner or
medical examiner shall release those specimens to the police
agency responsible for investigating the death. As soon as
possible, but no later than 30 days after the receipt from the
coroner or medical examiner, the police agency shall submit
the specimens using the agency case number to a National DNA
Index System (NDIS) participating laboratory within this
State, such as the Illinois Department of State Police,
Division of Forensic Services, for analysis and categorizing
into genetic marker groupings. The results of the analysis and
categorizing into genetic marker groupings shall be provided
to the Illinois Department of State Police and shall be
maintained by the Illinois Department of State Police in the
State central repository in the same manner, and subject to
the same conditions, as provided in Section 5-4-3 of the
Unified Code of Corrections. The requirements of this
paragraph are in addition to any other findings, specimens, or
information that the coroner or medical examiner is required
to provide during the conduct of a criminal investigation.
In all counties, in cases of apparent suicide, homicide,
or accidental death or in other cases, within the discretion
of the coroner, the coroner may summon 8 persons of lawful age

HB3655 Engrossed - 620 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
from those persons drawn for petit jurors in the county. The
summons shall command these persons to present themselves
personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
for acknowledgment acknowledgement which the coroner deems
practical and provides a reliable proof of service. The
summons may be served by first class mail. From the 8 persons
so summoned, the coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury
for the inquest. Inquests may be continued from time to time,
as the coroner may deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a
given case may view the body of the deceased. If at any
continuation of an inquest one or more of the original jurors
shall be unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill
the vacancy or vacancies. A juror serving pursuant to this
paragraph shall receive compensation from the county at the
same rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or
grand jurors in the county. The coroner shall furnish to each
juror without fee at the time of his discharge a certificate of
the number of days in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being
presented with such certificate, the county treasurer shall
pay to the juror the sum provided for his services.
In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall
provide at least 8 jurors to the coroner, from whom the coroner

HB3655 Engrossed - 621 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the
vacancy or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional
jurors to fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury
commission. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such
county shall receive compensation from the county at the same
rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand
jurors in the county.
In every case in which a fire is determined to be a
contributing factor in a death, the coroner shall report the
death to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The coroner
shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in
a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
Marshal.
In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be
the cause or a contributing factor in the death, the coroner or
medical examiner shall report the death to the Department of
Public Health. The Department of Public Health shall adopt
rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,

HB3655 Engrossed - 622 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
"overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
death figures organized by location, age, and any other
factors, the Department deems appropriate.
In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
shall report the death to the Illinois Department of State
Police.
All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards
of the State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the
Children and Family Services Act in private care facilities or
in programs funded by the Department of Human Services under
its powers relating to mental health and developmental
disabilities or alcoholism and substance abuse or funded by
the Department of Children and Family Services shall be
reported to the coroner of the county in which the facility is
located. If the coroner has reason to believe that an
investigation is needed to determine whether the death was
caused by maltreatment or negligent care of the ward of the
State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children
and Family Services Act, the coroner may conduct a preliminary
investigation of the circumstances of such death as in cases
of death under circumstances set forth in paragraphs (a)

HB3655 Engrossed - 623 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
through (e) of this Section.
(Source: P.A. 100-159, eff. 8-18-17; 101-13, eff. 6-12-19.)
Section 435. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Sections 10-1-7.1, 10-2.1-6, 10-2.1-6.1, 10-2.1-6.2,
10-2.1-6.3, and 11-32-1 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/10-1-7.1)
Sec. 10-1-7.1. Original appointments; full-time fire
department.
(a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow
the provisions of Section 10-1-7.2, this Section shall apply
to all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
department to which this Section applies shall be administered
in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section

HB3655 Engrossed - 624 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and any other law, this Section shall control.
A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
administer its fire department process for original
appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
functions exercised by the State.
A municipality that is operating under a court order or
consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for
the duration of the court order or consent decree.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
(b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
eligibles established in accordance with the processes
established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
the performance standards required by this Section shall be
placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
an affected fire department.
Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a

HB3655 Engrossed - 625 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5
highest ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number
of people who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
eligibles is less than 5 people.
Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in
future examinations, including an examination held during the
time a candidate is already on the municipality's register of
eligibles.
The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
shall be vested in the Civil Service Commission. All

HB3655 Engrossed - 626 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member of
an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson and
secretary, respectively, of the commission upon appointment of
such officer or member to the affected department by the
commission. After being selected from the register of
eligibles to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each
appointee shall be presented with his or her certificate of
appointment on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a
classified member of the affected department. Firefighters who
were not issued a certificate of appointment when originally
appointed shall be provided with a certificate within 10 days
after making a written request to the chairperson of the Civil
Service Commission. Each person who accepts a certificate of
appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
member of the fire department.
For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of
the 97th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or
fire protection district or employed by a State university and
sworn or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or
paramedic duties, or both, except that the following persons
are not included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve,
or voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call
firefighters; clerks and dispatchers or other civilian

HB3655 Engrossed - 627 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employees of a fire department or fire protection district who
are not routinely expected to perform firefighter duties; and
elected officials.
(c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required
of members of the fire department in order to provide the
highest quality of service to the public. To this end, all
applicants for original appointment to an affected fire
department shall be subject to examination and testing which
shall be public, competitive, and open to all applicants
unless the municipality shall by ordinance limit applicants to
residents of the municipality, county or counties in which the
municipality is located, State, or nation. Any examination and
testing procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this
Section shall be supported by appropriate validation evidence
and shall comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
application process.
Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
restrictive for that individual during his or her period of

HB3655 Engrossed - 628 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to
the Fire Department Promotion Act.
No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
in the regularly constituted fire department of the
municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age
limitation does not apply to:
(1) any person previously employed as a full-time
firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
(i) any municipality or fire protection district located
in Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section
21 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
protection district,
(2) any person who has served a municipality as a
regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
that the municipality begins to use full-time firefighters
to provide all or part of its fire protection service, or
(3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
of the active or reserve components of any of the branches

HB3655 Engrossed - 629 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
military, and is currently under the age of 40.
No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
for employment as a firefighter.
No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
municipality or their designees and agents.
No municipality shall require that any firefighter
appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, the probationary employment period limitation may be
extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
licensure.
In the event that any applicant who has been found
eligible for appointment and whose name has been placed upon
the final eligibility register provided for in this Division 1
has not been appointed to a firefighter position within one

HB3655 Engrossed - 630 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
year after the date of his or her physical ability
examination, the commission may cause a second examination to
be made of that applicant's physical ability prior to his or
her appointment. If, after the second examination, the
physical ability of the applicant shall be found to be less
than the minimum standard fixed by the rules of the
commission, the applicant shall not be appointed. The
applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
certification and appointment that applicant may be again
examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
removed from the register.
(d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of
the time, place, general scope, merit criteria for any
subjective component, and fee of every examination shall be
given by the commission, by a publication at least 2 weeks
preceding the examination: (i) in one or more newspapers
published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published
therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
circulation within the municipality, or (ii) on the
municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
The examination and qualifying standards for employment of

HB3655 Engrossed - 631 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on
the final register of eligibles. The examination may also
include a subjective component based on merit criteria as
determined by the commission. Scores from the examination must
be made available to the public.
(e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school
education shall be placed on a register of eligibles.
Examination of an applicant's mental aptitude shall be based
upon a written examination. The examination shall be practical
in character and relate to those matters that fairly test the
capacity of the persons examined to discharge the duties
performed by members of a fire department. Written
examinations shall be administered in a manner that ensures
the security and accuracy of the scores achieved.
(f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform
the essential functions included in the duties they may be
called upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For
the purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job
are functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire

HB3655 Engrossed - 632 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
each applicant's physical abilities in the following
dimensions:
(1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
that may be required in the performance of duties
including grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength.
Tests shall be conducted under anaerobic as well as
aerobic conditions to test both the candidate's speed and
endurance in performing tasks and evolutions. Tasks tested
may be based on standards developed, or approved, by the
local appointing authority.
(2) The ability to climb ladders, operate from
heights, walk or crawl in the dark along narrow and uneven
surfaces, and operate in proximity to hazardous
environments.
(3) The ability to carry out critical, time-sensitive,
and complex problem solving during physical exertion in
stressful and hazardous environments. The testing
environment may be hot and dark with tightly enclosed
spaces, flashing lights, sirens, and other distractions.
The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests

HB3655 Engrossed - 633 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
of the State Fire Marshal.
Physical ability examinations administered under this
Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of
proctors and monitors, open to the public, and subject to
reasonable regulations of the commission.
(g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
passage of the written examination or the passage of the
written examination and the physical ability component.
Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by
the commission so as to demonstrate a candidate's ability to
perform the essential functions of the job. The minimum score
set by the commission shall be supported by appropriate
validation evidence and shall comply with all applicable State
and federal laws. The appointing authority may conduct the
physical ability component and any subjective components
subsequent to the posting of the preliminary eligibility
register.
The examination components for an initial eligibility
register shall be graded on a 100-point scale. A person's
position on the list shall be determined by the following: (i)
the person's score on the written examination, (ii) the person
successfully passing the physical ability component, and (iii)

HB3655 Engrossed - 634 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the person's results on any subjective component as described
in subsection (d).
In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
before any applicable preference points or subjective points
are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
score set by the commission.
The commission shall prepare and keep a register of
persons whose total score is not less than the minimum score
for passage and who have passed the physical ability
examination. These persons shall take rank upon the register
as candidates in the order of their relative excellence based
on the highest to the lowest total points scored on the mental
aptitude, subjective component, and preference components of
the test administered in accordance with this Section. No more
than 60 days after each examination, an initial eligibility
list shall be posted by the commission. The list shall include
the final grades of the candidates without reference to
priority of the time of examination and subject to claim for
preference credit.
Commissions may conduct additional examinations, including
without limitation a polygraph test, after a final eligibility
register is established and before it expires with the

HB3655 Engrossed - 635 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
candidates ranked by total score without regard to date of
examination. No more than 60 days after each examination, an
initial eligibility list shall be posted by the commission
showing the final grades of the candidates without reference
to priority of time of examination and subject to claim for
preference credit.
(h) Preferences. The following are preferences:
(1) Veteran preference. Persons who were engaged in
the military service of the United States for a period of
at least one year of active duty and who were honorably
discharged therefrom, or who are now or have been members
on inactive or reserve duty in such military or naval
service, shall be preferred for appointment to and
employment with the fire department of an affected
department.
(2) Fire cadet preference. Persons who have
successfully completed 2 years of study in fire techniques
or cadet training within a cadet program established under
the rules of the Joint Labor and Management Committee
(JLMC), as defined in Section 50 of the Fire Department
Promotion Act, may be preferred for appointment to and
employment with the fire department.
(3) Educational preference. Persons who have
successfully obtained an associate's degree in the field
of fire service or emergency medical services, or a
bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university

HB3655 Engrossed - 636 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
may be preferred for appointment to and employment with
the fire department.
(4) Paramedic preference. Persons who have obtained a
license as a paramedic may be preferred for appointment to
and employment with the fire department of an affected
department providing emergency medical services.
(5) Experience preference. All persons employed by a
municipality who have been paid-on-call or part-time
certified Firefighter II, certified Firefighter III, State
of Illinois or nationally licensed EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or
paramedic, or any combination of those capacities may be
awarded up to a maximum of 5 points. However, the
applicant may not be awarded more than 0.5 points for each
complete year of paid-on-call or part-time service.
Applicants from outside the municipality who were employed
as full-time firefighters or firefighter-paramedics by a
fire protection district or another municipality may be
awarded up to 5 experience preference points. However, the
applicant may not be awarded more than one point for each
complete year of full-time service.
Upon request by the commission, the governing body of
the municipality or in the case of applicants from outside
the municipality the governing body of any fire protection
district or any other municipality shall certify to the
commission, within 10 days after the request, the number
of years of successful paid-on-call, part-time, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 637 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
full-time service of any person. A candidate may not
receive the full amount of preference points under this
subsection if the amount of points awarded would place the
candidate before a veteran on the eligibility list. If
more than one candidate receiving experience preference
points is prevented from receiving all of their points due
to not being allowed to pass a veteran, the candidates
shall be placed on the list below the veteran in rank order
based on the totals received if all points under this
subsection were to be awarded. Any remaining ties on the
list shall be determined by lot.
(6) Residency preference. Applicants whose principal
residence is located within the fire department's
jurisdiction may be preferred for appointment to and
employment with the fire department.
(7) Additional preferences. Up to 5 additional
preference points may be awarded for unique categories
based on an applicant's experience or background as
identified by the commission.
(7.5) Apprentice preferences. A person who has
performed fire suppression service for a department as a
firefighter apprentice and otherwise meets meet the
qualifications for original appointment as a firefighter
specified in this Section may be awarded up to 20
preference points. To qualify for preference points, an
applicant shall have completed a minimum of 600 hours of

HB3655 Engrossed - 638 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
fire suppression work on a regular shift for the affected
fire department over a 12-month period. The fire
suppression work must be in accordance with Section
10-1-14 of this Division and the terms established by a
Joint Apprenticeship Committee included in a collective
bargaining agreement agreed between the employer and its
certified bargaining agent. An eligible applicant must
apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee for preference
points under this item. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee
shall evaluate the merit of the applicant's performance,
determine the preference points to be awarded, and certify
the amount of points awarded to the commissioners. The
commissioners may add the certified preference points to
the final grades achieved by the applicant on the other
components of the examination.
(8) Scoring of preferences. The commission shall give
preference for original appointment to persons designated
in item (1) by adding to the final grade that they receive
5 points for the recognized preference achieved. The
commission may give preference for original appointment to
persons designated in item (7.5) by adding to the final
grade the amount of points designated by the Joint
Apprenticeship Committee as defined in item (7.5). The
commission shall determine the number of preference points
for each category, except (1) and (7.5). The number of
preference points for each category shall range from 0 to

HB3655 Engrossed - 639 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
5, except item (7.5). In determining the number of
preference points, the commission shall prescribe that if
a candidate earns the maximum number of preference points
in all categories except item (7.5), that number may not
be less than 10 nor more than 30. The commission shall give
preference for original appointment to persons designated
in items (2) through (7) by adding the requisite number of
points to the final grade for each recognized preference
achieved. The numerical result thus attained shall be
applied by the commission in determining the final
eligibility list and appointment from the eligibility
list. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
total number of preference points awarded under this
Section, but the total number of preference points, except
item (7.5), shall not be less than 10 points or more than
30 points. Apprentice preference points may be added in
addition to other preference points awarded by the
commission.
No person entitled to any preference shall be required to
claim the credit before any examination held under the
provisions of this Section, but the preference shall be given
after the posting or publication of the initial eligibility
list or register at the request of a person entitled to a
credit before any certification or appointments are made from
the eligibility register, upon the furnishing of verifiable
evidence and proof of qualifying preference credit. Candidates

HB3655 Engrossed - 640 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
who are eligible for preference credit shall make a claim in
writing within 10 days after the posting of the initial
eligibility list, or the claim shall be deemed waived. Final
eligibility registers shall be established after the awarding
of verified preference points. However, apprentice preference
credit earned subsequent to the establishment of the final
eligibility register may be applied to the applicant's score
upon certification by the Joint Apprenticeship Committee to
the commission and the rank order of candidates on the final
eligibility register shall be adjusted accordingly. All
employment shall be subject to the commission's initial hire
background review including, but not limited to, criminal
history, employment history, moral character, oral
examination, and medical and psychological examinations, all
on a pass-fail basis. The medical and psychological
examinations must be conducted last, and may only be performed
after a conditional offer of employment has been extended.
Any person placed on an eligibility list who exceeds the
age requirement before being appointed to a fire department
shall remain eligible for appointment until the list is
abolished, or his or her name has been on the list for a period
of 2 years. No person who has attained the age of 35 years
shall be inducted into a fire department, except as otherwise
provided in this Section.
The commission shall strike off the names of candidates
for original appointment after the names have been on the list

HB3655 Engrossed - 641 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
for more than 2 years.
(i) Moral character. No person shall be appointed to a
fire department unless he or she is a person of good character;
not a habitual drunkard, a gambler, or a person who has been
convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude.
However, no person shall be disqualified from appointment to
the fire department because of the person's record of
misdemeanor convictions except those under Sections 11-6,
11-7, 11-9, 11-14, 11-15, 11-17, 11-18, 11-19, 12-2, 12-6,

subsections 1, 6, and 8 of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of
1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or arrest for any cause
without conviction thereon. Any such person who is in the
department may be removed on charges brought for violating
this subsection and after a trial as hereinafter provided.
A classifiable set of the fingerprints of every person who
is offered employment as a certificated member of an affected
fire department whether with or without compensation, shall be
furnished to the Illinois Department of State Police and to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation by the commission.
Whenever a commission is authorized or required by law to
consider some aspect of criminal history record information
for the purpose of carrying out its statutory powers and
responsibilities, then, upon request and payment of fees in
conformance with the requirements of Section 2605-400 of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 642 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Illinois State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois, the Illinois Department of State Police is
authorized to furnish, pursuant to positive identification,
the information contained in State files as is necessary to
fulfill the request.
(j) Temporary appointments. In order to prevent a stoppage
of public business, to meet extraordinary exigencies, or to
prevent material impairment of the fire department, the
commission may make temporary appointments, to remain in force
only until regular appointments are made under the provisions
of this Division, but never to exceed 60 days. No temporary
appointment of any one person shall be made more than twice in
any calendar year.
(k) A person who knowingly divulges or receives test
questions or answers before a written examination, or
otherwise knowingly violates or subverts any requirement of
this Section, commits a violation of this Section and may be
subject to charges for official misconduct.
A person who is the knowing recipient of test information
in advance of the examination shall be disqualified from the
examination or discharged from the position to which he or she
was appointed, as applicable, and otherwise subjected to
disciplinary actions.

(65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-6.3)
Sec. 10-2.1-6.3. Original appointments; full-time fire
department.
(a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow
the provisions of Section 10-2.1-6.4, this Section shall apply
to all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
department to which this Section applies shall be administered
in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to

HB3655 Engrossed - 650 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
and any other law, this Section shall control.
A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
administer its fire department process for original
appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
functions exercised by the State.
A municipality that is operating under a court order or
consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for
the duration of the court order or consent decree.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
(b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
eligibles established in accordance with the processes
established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
the performance standards required by this Section shall be
placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to

HB3655 Engrossed - 651 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
an affected fire department.
Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5
highest ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number
of people who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
eligibles is less than 5 people.
Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in
future examinations, including an examination held during the
time a candidate is already on the municipality's register of

HB3655 Engrossed - 652 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
eligibles.
The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
shall be vested in the board of fire and police commissioners.
All certificates of appointment issued to any officer or
member of an affected department shall be signed by the
chairperson and secretary, respectively, of the board upon
appointment of such officer or member to the affected
department by action of the board. After being selected from
the register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the affected
department, each appointee shall be presented with his or her
certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she is
sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
within 10 days after making a written request to the
chairperson of the board of fire and police commissioners.
Each person who accepts a certificate of appointment and
successfully completes his or her probationary period shall be
enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular member of the fire
department.
For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of
the 97th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or
fire protection district or employed by a State university and
sworn or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or

HB3655 Engrossed - 653 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
paramedic duties, or both, except that the following persons
are not included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve,
or voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call
firefighters; clerks and dispatchers or other civilian
employees of a fire department or fire protection district who
are not routinely expected to perform firefighter duties; and
elected officials.
(c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required
of members of the fire department in order to provide the
highest quality of service to the public. To this end, all
applicants for original appointment to an affected fire
department shall be subject to examination and testing which
shall be public, competitive, and open to all applicants
unless the municipality shall by ordinance limit applicants to
residents of the municipality, county or counties in which the
municipality is located, State, or nation. Any examination and
testing procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this
Section shall be supported by appropriate validation evidence
and shall comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 654 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
application process.
Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to
the Fire Department Promotion Act.
No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
in the regularly constituted fire department of the
municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age
limitation does not apply to:
(1) any person previously employed as a full-time
firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
(i) any municipality or fire protection district located
in Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section
21 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
protection district,
(2) any person who has served a municipality as a
regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time

HB3655 Engrossed - 655 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
that the municipality begins to use full-time firefighters
to provide all or part of its fire protection service, or
(3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
military, and is currently under the age of 40.
No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
for employment as a firefighter.
No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
municipality or their designees and agents.
No municipality shall require that any firefighter
appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, the probationary employment period limitation may be
extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
licensure.

HB3655 Engrossed - 656 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
In the event that any applicant who has been found
eligible for appointment and whose name has been placed upon
the final eligibility register provided for in this Section
has not been appointed to a firefighter position within one
year after the date of his or her physical ability
examination, the commission may cause a second examination to
be made of that applicant's physical ability prior to his or
her appointment. If, after the second examination, the
physical ability of the applicant shall be found to be less
than the minimum standard fixed by the rules of the
commission, the applicant shall not be appointed. The
applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
certification and appointment that applicant may be again
examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
removed from the register.
(d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of
the time, place, general scope, merit criteria for any
subjective component, and fee of every examination shall be
given by the commission, by a publication at least 2 weeks
preceding the examination: (i) in one or more newspapers
published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published
therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general

HB3655 Engrossed - 657 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
circulation within the municipality, or (ii) on the
municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on
the final register of eligibles. The examination may also
include a subjective component based on merit criteria as
determined by the commission. Scores from the examination must
be made available to the public.
(e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school
education shall be placed on a register of eligibles.
Examination of an applicant's mental aptitude shall be based
upon a written examination. The examination shall be practical
in character and relate to those matters that fairly test the
capacity of the persons examined to discharge the duties
performed by members of a fire department. Written
examinations shall be administered in a manner that ensures
the security and accuracy of the scores achieved.
(f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform
the essential functions included in the duties they may be
called upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For

HB3655 Engrossed - 658 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job
are functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
each applicant's physical abilities in the following
dimensions:
(1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
that may be required in the performance of duties
including grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength.
Tests shall be conducted under anaerobic as well as
aerobic conditions to test both the candidate's speed and
endurance in performing tasks and evolutions. Tasks tested
may be based on standards developed, or approved, by the
local appointing authority.
(2) The ability to climb ladders, operate from
heights, walk or crawl in the dark along narrow and uneven
surfaces, and operate in proximity to hazardous
environments.
(3) The ability to carry out critical, time-sensitive,
and complex problem solving during physical exertion in
stressful and hazardous environments. The testing
environment may be hot and dark with tightly enclosed

HB3655 Engrossed - 659 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
spaces, flashing lights, sirens, and other distractions.
The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
of the State Fire Marshal.
Physical ability examinations administered under this
Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of
proctors and monitors, open to the public, and subject to
reasonable regulations of the commission.
(g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
passage of the written examination or the passage of the
written examination and the physical ability component.
Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by
the commission so as to demonstrate a candidate's ability to
perform the essential functions of the job. The minimum score
set by the commission shall be supported by appropriate
validation evidence and shall comply with all applicable State
and federal laws. The appointing authority may conduct the
physical ability component and any subjective components
subsequent to the posting of the preliminary eligibility
register.
The examination components for an initial eligibility

HB3655 Engrossed - 660 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
register shall be graded on a 100-point scale. A person's
position on the list shall be determined by the following: (i)
the person's score on the written examination, (ii) the person
successfully passing the physical ability component, and (iii)
the person's results on any subjective component as described
in subsection (d).
In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
before any applicable preference points or subjective points
are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score as set by
the commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe
the score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
score set by the commission.
The commission shall prepare and keep a register of
persons whose total score is not less than the minimum score
for passage and who have passed the physical ability
examination. These persons shall take rank upon the register
as candidates in the order of their relative excellence based
on the highest to the lowest total points scored on the mental
aptitude, subjective component, and preference components of
the test administered in accordance with this Section. No more
than 60 days after each examination, an initial eligibility
list shall be posted by the commission. The list shall include
the final grades of the candidates without reference to
priority of the time of examination and subject to claim for

HB3655 Engrossed - 661 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
preference credit.
Commissions may conduct additional examinations, including
without limitation a polygraph test, after a final eligibility
register is established and before it expires with the
candidates ranked by total score without regard to date of
examination. No more than 60 days after each examination, an
initial eligibility list shall be posted by the commission
showing the final grades of the candidates without reference
to priority of time of examination and subject to claim for
preference credit.

5 points for the recognized preference achieved. The
commission may give preference for original appointment to
persons designated in item (7.5) by adding to the final

Section, but the total number of preference points, except
item (7.5), shall not be less than 10 points or more than
30 points. Apprentice preference points may be added in

HB3655 Engrossed - 666 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
addition to other preference points awarded by the
commission.
No person entitled to any preference shall be required to
claim the credit before any examination held under the
provisions of this Section, but the preference may be given
after the posting or publication of the initial eligibility
list or register at the request of a person entitled to a
credit before any certification or appointments are made from
the eligibility register, upon the furnishing of verifiable
evidence and proof of qualifying preference credit. Candidates

Section 440. The Fire Protection District Act is amended
by changing Section 16.06b as follows:
(70 ILCS 705/16.06b)
Sec. 16.06b. Original appointments; full-time fire

HB3655 Engrossed - 672 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
department.
(a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow
the provisions of Section 16.06c, this Section shall apply to
all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
department to which this Section applies shall be administered
in a no less stringent manner than the manner provided for in
this Section. Provisions of the Illinois Municipal Code, Fire
Protection District Act, fire district ordinances, and rules
adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
and any other law, this Section shall control.
A fire protection district that is operating under a court
order or consent decree regarding original appointments to a
full-time fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective
date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th
General Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this
Section for the duration of the court order or consent decree.
(b) Original appointments. All original appointments made

HB3655 Engrossed - 673 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
eligibles established in accordance with the processes
required by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed the
performance standards required by the Section shall be placed
on a register of eligibles for original appointment to an
affected fire department.
Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5
highest ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number
of people who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
eligibles is less than 5 people.
Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any

HB3655 Engrossed - 674 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in
future examinations, including an examination held during the
time a candidate is already on the fire district's register of
eligibles.
The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
shall be vested in the board of fire commissioners, or board of
trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
commissioners. All certificates of appointment issued to any
officer or member of an affected department shall be signed by
the chairperson and secretary, respectively, of the commission
upon appointment of such officer or member to the affected
department by action of the commission. After being selected
from the register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the
affected department, each appointee shall be presented with
his or her certificate of appointment on the day on which he or
she is sworn in as a classified member of the affected
department. Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of
appointment when originally appointed shall be provided with a
certificate within 10 days after making a written request to
the chairperson of the board of fire commissioners, or board
of trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of
appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular

HB3655 Engrossed - 675 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
member of the fire department.
For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of
the 97th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or
fire protection district or employed by a State university and
sworn or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or
paramedic duties, or both, except that the following persons
are not included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve,
or voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call
firefighters; clerks and dispatchers or other civilian
employees of a fire department or fire protection district who
are not routinely expected to perform firefighter duties; and
elected officials.
(c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required
of members of the fire department in order to provide the
highest quality of service to the public. To this end, all
applicants for original appointment to an affected fire
department shall be subject to examination and testing which
shall be public, competitive, and open to all applicants
unless the district shall by ordinance limit applicants to
residents of the district, county or counties in which the
district is located, State, or nation. Any examination and

HB3655 Engrossed - 676 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
testing procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this
Section shall be supported by appropriate validation evidence
and shall comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
Districts may establish educational, emergency medical service
licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
Any fire protection district may charge a fee to cover the
costs of the application process.
Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
enters the fire service of a district cannot be made more
restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
service for that district, or be made a condition of
promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to
the Fire Department Promotion Act.
No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
in the regularly constituted fire department of the district,
except as provided in this Section. The age limitation does
not apply to:
(1) any person previously employed as a full-time
firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
(i) any municipality or fire protection district located
in Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose

HB3655 Engrossed - 677 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section
21 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
protection district;
(2) any person who has served a fire district as a
regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
that the district begins to use full-time firefighters to
provide all or part of its fire protection service; or
(3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
military, and is currently under the age of 40.
No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
for employment as a firefighter.
No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
district or their designees and agents.
No district shall require that any firefighter appointed
to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment period of
longer than one year of actual active employment, which may
exclude periods of training, or injury or illness leaves,
including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar days.

HB3655 Engrossed - 678 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
probationary employment period limitation may be extended for
a firefighter who is required, as a condition of employment,
to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the sole reason
that a firefighter may be discharged without a hearing is for
failing to meet the requirements for paramedic licensure.
In the event that any applicant who has been found
eligible for appointment and whose name has been placed upon
the final eligibility register provided for in this Section
has not been appointed to a firefighter position within one
year after the date of his or her physical ability
examination, the commission may cause a second examination to
be made of that applicant's physical ability prior to his or
her appointment. If, after the second examination, the
physical ability of the applicant shall be found to be less
than the minimum standard fixed by the rules of the
commission, the applicant shall not be appointed. The
applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
certification and appointment that applicant may be again
examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
removed from the register.
(d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of

HB3655 Engrossed - 679 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the time, place, general scope, merit criteria for any
subjective component, and fee of every examination shall be

preceding the examination: (i) in one or more newspapers
published in the district, or if no newspaper is published
therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
circulation within the district, or (ii) on the fire
protection district's Internet website. Additional notice of
the examination may be given as the commission shall
prescribe.
The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on
the final register of eligibles. The examination may also
include a subjective component based on merit criteria as
determined by the commission. Scores from the examination must
be made available to the public.
(e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at

the security and accuracy of the scores achieved.
(f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform
the essential functions included in the duties they may be
called upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For
the purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job
are functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
each applicant's physical abilities in the following
dimensions:
(1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
that may be required in the performance of duties
including grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength.
Tests shall be conducted under anaerobic as well as

may be based on standards developed, or approved, by the
local appointing authority.
(2) The ability to climb ladders, operate from

HB3655 Engrossed - 681 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
heights, walk or crawl in the dark along narrow and uneven
surfaces, and operate in proximity to hazardous
environments.
(3) The ability to carry out critical, time-sensitive,
and complex problem solving during physical exertion in
stressful and hazardous environments. The testing
environment may be hot and dark with tightly enclosed
spaces, flashing lights, sirens, and other distractions.
The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
of the State Fire Marshal.
Physical ability examinations administered under this
Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of
proctors and monitors, open to the public, and subject to
reasonable regulations of the commission.
(g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
passage of the written examination or the passage of the
written examination and the physical ability component.
Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by
the appointing authorities so as to demonstrate a candidate's
ability to perform the essential functions of the job. The

HB3655 Engrossed - 682 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
minimum score set by the commission shall be supported by
appropriate validation evidence and shall comply with all
applicable State and federal laws. The appointing authority
may conduct the physical ability component and any subjective
components subsequent to the posting of the preliminary
eligibility register.
The examination components for an initial eligibility
register shall be graded on a 100-point scale. A person's
position on the list shall be determined by the following: (i)
the person's score on the written examination, (ii) the person
successfully passing the physical ability component, and (iii)
the person's results on any subjective component as described
in subsection (d).
In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
before any applicable preference points or subjective points
are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
score set by the commission.
The commission shall prepare and keep a register of
persons whose total score is not less than the minimum score
for passage and who have passed the physical ability
examination. These persons shall take rank upon the register
as candidates in the order of their relative excellence based

HB3655 Engrossed - 683 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
on the highest to the lowest total points scored on the mental
aptitude, subjective component, and preference components of
the test administered in accordance with this Section. No more
than 60 days after each examination, an initial eligibility
list shall be posted by the commission. The list shall include
the final grades of the candidates without reference to
priority of the time of examination and subject to claim for
preference credit.
Commissions may conduct additional examinations, including
without limitation a polygraph test, after a final eligibility
register is established and before it expires with the
candidates ranked by total score without regard to date of

(105 ILCS 5/2-3.25o)
Sec. 2-3.25o. Registration and recognition of non-public
elementary and secondary schools.
(a) Findings. The General Assembly finds and declares (i)
that the Constitution of the State of Illinois provides that a

HB3655 Engrossed - 703 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
"fundamental goal of the People of the State is the
educational development of all persons to the limits of their
capacities" and (ii) that the educational development of every
school student serves the public purposes of the State. In
order to ensure that all Illinois students and teachers have
the opportunity to enroll and work in State-approved
educational institutions and programs, the State Board of
Education shall provide for the voluntary registration and
recognition of non-public elementary and secondary schools.
(b) Registration. All non-public elementary and secondary
schools in the State of Illinois may voluntarily register with
the State Board of Education on an annual basis. Registration
shall be completed in conformance with procedures prescribed
by the State Board of Education. Information required for
registration shall include assurances of compliance (i) with
federal and State laws regarding health examination and
immunization, attendance, length of term, and
nondiscrimination and (ii) with applicable fire and health
safety requirements.
(c) Recognition. All non-public elementary and secondary
schools in the State of Illinois may voluntarily seek the
status of "Non-public School Recognition" from the State Board
of Education. This status may be obtained by compliance with
administrative guidelines and review procedures as prescribed
by the State Board of Education. The guidelines and procedures
must recognize that some of the aims and the financial bases of

HB3655 Engrossed - 704 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
non-public schools are different from public schools and will
not be identical to those for public schools, nor will they be
more burdensome. The guidelines and procedures must also
recognize the diversity of non-public schools and shall not
impinge upon the noneducational relationships between those
schools and their clientele.
(c-5) Prohibition against recognition. A non-public
elementary or secondary school may not obtain "Non-public
School Recognition" status unless the school requires all
certified and non-certified applicants for employment with the
school, after July 1, 2007, to authorize a fingerprint-based
criminal history records check as a condition of employment to
determine if such applicants have been convicted of any of the
enumerated criminal or drug offenses set forth in Section
21B-80 of this Code or have been convicted, within 7 years of
the application for employment, of any other felony under the
laws of this State or of any offense committed or attempted in
any other state or against the laws of the United States that,
if committed or attempted in this State, would have been
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State.
Authorization for the check shall be furnished by the
applicant to the school, except that if the applicant is a
substitute teacher seeking employment in more than one
non-public school, a teacher seeking concurrent part-time
employment positions with more than one non-public school (as
a reading specialist, special education teacher, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 705 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
otherwise), or an educational support personnel employee
seeking employment positions with more than one non-public
school, then only one of the non-public schools employing the
individual shall request the authorization. Upon receipt of
this authorization, the non-public school shall submit the
applicant's name, sex, race, date of birth, social security
number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as
prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police, to the
Illinois Department of State Police.
The Illinois Department of State Police and Federal Bureau
of Investigation shall furnish, pursuant to a
fingerprint-based criminal history records check, records of
convictions, forever and hereafter, until expunged, to the
president or principal of the non-public school that requested
the check. The Illinois Department of State Police shall
charge that school a fee for conducting such check, which fee
must be deposited into the State Police Services Fund and must
not exceed the cost of the inquiry. Subject to appropriations
for these purposes, the State Superintendent of Education
shall reimburse non-public schools for fees paid to obtain
criminal history records checks under this Section.
A non-public school may not obtain recognition status
unless the school also performs a check of the Statewide Sex
Offender Database, as authorized by the Sex Offender Community
Notification Law, for each applicant for employment, after
July 1, 2007, to determine whether the applicant has been

HB3655 Engrossed - 706 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
adjudicated a sex offender.
Any information concerning the record of convictions
obtained by a non-public school's president or principal under
this Section is confidential and may be disseminated only to
the governing body of the non-public school or any other
person necessary to the decision of hiring the applicant for
employment. A copy of the record of convictions obtained from
the Illinois Department of State Police shall be provided to
the applicant for employment. Upon a check of the Statewide
Sex Offender Database, the non-public school shall notify the
applicant as to whether or not the applicant has been
identified in the Sex Offender Database as a sex offender. Any
information concerning the records of conviction obtained by
the non-public school's president or principal under this
Section for a substitute teacher seeking employment in more
than one non-public school, a teacher seeking concurrent
part-time employment positions with more than one non-public
school (as a reading specialist, special education teacher, or
otherwise), or an educational support personnel employee
seeking employment positions with more than one non-public
school may be shared with another non-public school's
principal or president to which the applicant seeks
employment. Any unauthorized release of confidential
information may be a violation of Section 7 of the Criminal
Identification Act.
No non-public school may obtain recognition status that

HB3655 Engrossed - 707 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
knowingly employs a person, hired after July 1, 2007, for whom
an Illinois a Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of
Investigation fingerprint-based criminal history records check
and a Statewide Sex Offender Database check has not been
initiated or who has been convicted of any offense enumerated
in Section 21B-80 of this Code or any offense committed or
attempted in any other state or against the laws of the United
States that, if committed or attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as one or more of those offenses. No
non-public school may obtain recognition status under this
Section that knowingly employs a person who has been found to
be the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of a minor under
18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under Article II of the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
In order to obtain recognition status under this Section,
a non-public school must require compliance with the
provisions of this subsection (c-5) from all employees of
persons or firms holding contracts with the school, including,
but not limited to, food service workers, school bus drivers,
and other transportation employees, who have direct, daily
contact with pupils. Any information concerning the records of
conviction or identification as a sex offender of any such
employee obtained by the non-public school principal or
president must be promptly reported to the school's governing
body.
Prior to the commencement of any student teaching

HB3655 Engrossed - 708 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
experience or required internship (which is referred to as
student teaching in this Section) in any non-public elementary
or secondary school that has obtained or seeks to obtain
recognition status under this Section, a student teacher is
required to authorize a fingerprint-based criminal history
records check. Authorization for and payment of the costs of
the check must be furnished by the student teacher to the chief
administrative officer of the non-public school where the
student teaching is to be completed. Upon receipt of this
authorization and payment, the chief administrative officer of
the non-public school shall submit the student teacher's name,
sex, race, date of birth, social security number, fingerprint
images, and other identifiers, as prescribed by the Illinois
Department of State Police, to the Illinois Department of
State Police. The Illinois Department of State Police and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation shall furnish, pursuant to a
fingerprint-based criminal history records check, records of
convictions, forever and hereinafter, until expunged, to the
chief administrative officer of the non-public school that
requested the check. The Illinois Department of State Police
shall charge the school a fee for conducting the check, which
fee must be passed on to the student teacher, must not exceed
the cost of the inquiry, and must be deposited into the State
Police Services Fund. The school shall further perform a check
of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, as authorized by the
Sex Offender Community Notification Law, and of the Statewide

HB3655 Engrossed - 709 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database, as
authorized by the Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
Registration Act, for each student teacher. No school that has
obtained or seeks to obtain recognition status under this
Section may knowingly allow a person to student teach for whom
a criminal history records check, a Statewide Sex Offender
Database check, and a Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender
Against Youth Database check have not been completed and
reviewed by the chief administrative officer of the non-public
school.
A copy of the record of convictions obtained from the
Illinois Department of State Police must be provided to the
student teacher. Any information concerning the record of
convictions obtained by the chief administrative officer of
the non-public school is confidential and may be transmitted
only to the chief administrative officer of the non-public
school or his or her designee, the State Superintendent of
Education, the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board,
or, for clarification purposes, the Illinois Department of
State Police or the Statewide Sex Offender Database or
Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
Database. Any unauthorized release of confidential information
may be a violation of Section 7 of the Criminal Identification
Act.
No school that has obtained or seeks to obtain recognition
status under this Section may knowingly allow a person to

HB3655 Engrossed - 710 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
student teach who has been convicted of any offense that would
subject him or her to license suspension or revocation
pursuant to Section 21B-80 of this Code or who has been found
to be the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of a minor
under 18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under Article II
of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(d) Public purposes. The provisions of this Section are in
the public interest, for the public benefit, and serve secular
public purposes.
(e) Definition. For purposes of this Section, a non-public
school means any non-profit, non-home-based, and non-public
elementary or secondary school that is in compliance with
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and attendance at
which satisfies the requirements of Section 26-1 of this Code.

program in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
Upon receipt of each periodic information bulletin from the

principal or chief administrative officer of every nonpublic

HB3655 Engrossed - 711 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
elementary and secondary school in this State registered with
the State Board of Education. Upon receipt of such
information, each school board shall compare the names on the
bulletin to the names of all students presently enrolled in
the schools of the district. If a school board or its designee
determines that a missing child is attending one of the
schools within the school district, or if the principal or
chief administrative officer of a nonpublic school is notified
by school personnel that a missing child is attending that
school, the school board or the principal or chief

(a) Licensed and nonlicensed applicants for employment
with a school district, except school bus driver applicants,
are required as a condition of employment to authorize a
fingerprint-based criminal history records check to determine
if such applicants have been convicted of any disqualifying,
enumerated criminal or drug offenses in subsection (c) of this
Section or have been convicted, within 7 years of the

this State. Authorization for the check shall be furnished by
the applicant to the school district, except that if the
applicant is a substitute teacher seeking employment in more
than one school district, a teacher seeking concurrent
part-time employment positions with more than one school
district (as a reading specialist, special education teacher

the educational service region in which are located the school

HB3655 Engrossed - 716 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
districts in which the applicant is seeking employment as a
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent
educational support personnel employee. Upon receipt of this

superintendent, as the case may be, shall submit the
applicant's name, sex, race, date of birth, social security
number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as
prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police, to the
Illinois State Police Department. The regional superintendent
submitting the requisite information to the Illinois
Department of State Police shall promptly notify the school
districts in which the applicant is seeking employment as a
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent
educational support personnel employee that the check of the
applicant has been requested. The Illinois Department of State

pursuant to a fingerprint-based criminal history records
check, records of convictions, forever and hereinafter, until
expunged, to the president of the school board for the school
district that requested the check, or to the regional
superintendent who requested the check. The Illinois State
Police Department shall charge the school district or the
appropriate regional superintendent a fee for conducting such
check, which fee shall be deposited in the State Police
Services Fund and shall not exceed the cost of the inquiry; and
the applicant shall not be charged a fee for such check by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 717 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
school district or by the regional superintendent, except that
those applicants seeking employment as a substitute teacher
with a school district may be charged a fee not to exceed the
cost of the inquiry. Subject to appropriations for these
purposes, the State Superintendent of Education shall
reimburse school districts and regional superintendents for
fees paid to obtain criminal history records checks under this
Section.
(a-5) The school district or regional superintendent shall
further perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender

(b) Any information concerning the record of convictions

HB3655 Engrossed - 718 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
obtained by the president of the school board or the regional
superintendent shall be confidential and may only be
transmitted to the superintendent of the school district or
his designee, the appropriate regional superintendent if the
check was requested by the school district, the presidents of
the appropriate school boards if the check was requested from
the Illinois Department of State Police by the regional
superintendent, the State Board of Education and a school
district as authorized under subsection (b-5), the State
Superintendent of Education, the State Educator Preparation
and Licensure Board, any other person necessary to the
decision of hiring the applicant for employment, or for
clarification purposes the Illinois Department of State Police
or Statewide Sex Offender Database, or both. A copy of the
record of convictions obtained from the Illinois Department of
State Police shall be provided to the applicant for
employment. Upon the check of the Statewide Sex Offender
Database or Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against
Youth Database, the school district or regional superintendent
shall notify an applicant as to whether or not the applicant
has been identified in the Database. If a check of an applicant
for employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time teacher
or concurrent educational support personnel employee in more
than one school district was requested by the regional
superintendent, and the Illinois Department of State Police
upon a check ascertains that the applicant has not been

HB3655 Engrossed - 719 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug offenses
in subsection (c) of this Section or has not been convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of this
State or of any offense committed or attempted in any other
state or against the laws of the United States that, if
committed or attempted in this State, would have been
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and so
notifies the regional superintendent and if the regional
superintendent upon a check ascertains that the applicant has
not been identified in the Sex Offender Database or Statewide
Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database, then the
regional superintendent shall issue to the applicant a
certificate evidencing that as of the date specified by the
Illinois Department of State Police the applicant has not been
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug offenses
in subsection (c) of this Section or has not been convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of this
State or of any offense committed or attempted in any other
state or against the laws of the United States that, if
committed or attempted in this State, would have been
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and
evidencing that as of the date that the regional
superintendent conducted a check of the Statewide Sex Offender
Database or Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against

HB3655 Engrossed - 720 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Youth Database, the applicant has not been identified in the
Database. The school board of any school district may rely on
the certificate issued by any regional superintendent to that
substitute teacher, concurrent part-time teacher, or
concurrent educational support personnel employee or may
initiate its own criminal history records check of the
applicant through the Illinois Department of State Police and
its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database or
Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database
as provided in this Section. Any unauthorized release of
confidential information may be a violation of Section 7 of
the Criminal Identification Act.
(b-5) If a criminal history records check or check of the
Statewide Sex Offender Database or Statewide Murderer and
Violent Offender Against Youth Database is performed by a
regional superintendent for an applicant seeking employment as
a substitute teacher with a school district, the regional
superintendent may disclose to the State Board of Education
whether the applicant has been issued a certificate under
subsection (b) based on those checks. If the State Board
receives information on an applicant under this subsection,
then it must indicate in the Educator Licensure Information
System for a 90-day period that the applicant has been issued
or has not been issued a certificate.
(c) No school board shall knowingly employ a person who
has been convicted of any offense that would subject him or her

HB3655 Engrossed - 721 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
to license suspension or revocation pursuant to Section 21B-80
of this Code, except as provided under subsection (b) of

misconduct, any superintendent who provides notification as
required in this subsection (e-5) shall have immunity from any
liability, whether civil or criminal or that otherwise might
result by reason of such action.

HB3655 Engrossed - 725 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
payment, the school district shall submit the student
teacher's name, sex, race, date of birth, social security
number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as

records check, records of convictions, forever and
hereinafter, until expunged, to the president of the school
board for the school district that requested the check. The

district a fee for conducting the check, which fee must not
exceed the cost of the inquiry and must be deposited into the
State Police Services Fund. The school district shall further
perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, as
authorized by the Sex Offender Community Notification Law, and
of the Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
Database, as authorized by the Murderer and Violent Offender
Against Youth Registration Act, for each student teacher. No
school board may knowingly allow a person to student teach for

Offender Database check, and a Statewide Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Database check have not been completed
and reviewed by the district.
A copy of the record of convictions obtained from the

of the school district or his or her designee, the State
Superintendent of Education, the State Educator Preparation
and Licensure Board, or, for clarification purposes, the
Illinois Department of State Police or the Statewide Sex
Offender Database or Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender
Against Youth Database. Any unauthorized release of
confidential information may be a violation of Section 7 of
the Criminal Identification Act.
No school board shall knowingly allow a person to student
teach who has been convicted of any offense that would subject
him or her to license suspension or revocation pursuant to
subsection (c) of Section 21B-80 of this Code, except as
provided under subsection (b) of Section 21B-80. Further, no
school board shall allow a person to student teach if he or she
has been found to be the perpetrator of sexual or physical
abuse of a minor under 18 years of age pursuant to proceedings
under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Each school
board must consider the status of a person to student teach who
has been issued an indicated finding of abuse or neglect of a
child by the Department of Children and Family Services under
the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act or by a child
welfare agency of another jurisdiction.

of interest and disclosure of economic interests which shall
apply to local school council members and which shall require

reports shall be grounds for disqualification from local
school council membership. A vacancy on the Council for
disqualification may be so declared by the Secretary of the
Board. Rules regarding conflicts of interest and disclosure of
economic interests promulgated by the Board shall apply to
local school council members. No less than 45 days prior to the
deadline, the general superintendent shall provide notice, by
mail, to each local school council member of all requirements
and forms for compliance with economic interest statements.
(r) (1) If a parent member of a local school council ceases

the parent's membership on the Local School Council and all
voting rights are terminated immediately as of the date of the
child's graduation or voluntary transfer. If the child of a
parent member of a local school council dies during the

school council ceases to be eligible to serve on the Council
for any other reason, he or she shall be removed by the Board
subject to a hearing, convened pursuant to Board rule, prior

on the Council member's removal at least 7 days prior to the
vote. The Council member in question shall have the right to
explain his or her actions and shall be eligible to vote on the
question of his or her removal from the Council. The
provisions of this subsection shall be contained within the
petitions used to nominate Council candidates.
(2) A person may continue to serve as a community resident
member of a local school council as long as he or she resides
in the attendance area served by the school and is not employed
by the Board nor is a parent of a student enrolled at the
school. If a community resident member ceases to be eligible
to serve on the Council, he or she shall be removed by the
Board subject to a hearing, convened pursuant to Board rule,

another school, the teacher's membership on the local school
council and all voting rights are terminated immediately as of
the date of the teacher's resignation or upon the date of the

member of a local school council ceases to be eligible to serve
on a local school council for any other reason, that member
shall be removed by the Board subject to a hearing, convened
pursuant to Board rule, prior to removal.

of the Statewide Sex Offender Database and Statewide Murderer
and Violent Offender Against Youth Database.

HB3655 Engrossed - 747 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(a) Licensed and nonlicensed applicants for employment
with the school district are required as a condition of
employment to authorize a fingerprint-based criminal history
records check to determine if such applicants have been
convicted of any disqualifying, enumerated criminal or drug
offense in subsection (c) of this Section or have been
convicted, within 7 years of the application for employment
with the school district, of any other felony under the laws of
this State or of any offense committed or attempted in any
other state or against the laws of the United States that, if
committed or attempted in this State, would have been
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State.
Authorization for the check shall be furnished by the
applicant to the school district, except that if the applicant
is a substitute teacher seeking employment in more than one
school district, or a teacher seeking concurrent part-time
employment positions with more than one school district (as a
reading specialist, special education teacher or otherwise),
or an educational support personnel employee seeking
employment positions with more than one district, any such
district may require the applicant to furnish authorization
for the check to the regional superintendent of the
educational service region in which are located the school
districts in which the applicant is seeking employment as a
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent
educational support personnel employee. Upon receipt of this

HB3655 Engrossed - 748 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
authorization, the school district or the appropriate regional
superintendent, as the case may be, shall submit the
applicant's name, sex, race, date of birth, social security
number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as
prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police, to the
Illinois State Police Department. The regional superintendent
submitting the requisite information to the Illinois
Department of State Police shall promptly notify the school
districts in which the applicant is seeking employment as a
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent
educational support personnel employee that the check of the
applicant has been requested. The Illinois Department of State
Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall furnish,
pursuant to a fingerprint-based criminal history records
check, records of convictions, forever and hereinafter, until
expunged, to the president of the school board for the school
district that requested the check, or to the regional
superintendent who requested the check. The Illinois State
Police Department shall charge the school district or the
appropriate regional superintendent a fee for conducting such
check, which fee shall be deposited in the State Police
Services Fund and shall not exceed the cost of the inquiry; and
the applicant shall not be charged a fee for such check by the
school district or by the regional superintendent. Subject to
appropriations for these purposes, the State Superintendent of
Education shall reimburse the school district and regional

HB3655 Engrossed - 749 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
superintendent for fees paid to obtain criminal history
records checks under this Section.
(a-5) The school district or regional superintendent shall
further perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender
Database, as authorized by the Sex Offender Community
Notification Law, for each applicant. The check of the
Statewide Sex Offender Database must be conducted by the
school district or regional superintendent once for every 5
years that an applicant remains employed by the school
district.
(a-6) The school district or regional superintendent shall
further perform a check of the Statewide Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Database, as authorized by the Murderer
and Violent Offender Against Youth Community Notification Law,
for each applicant. The check of the Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Database must be conducted by the
school district or regional superintendent once for every 5
years that an applicant remains employed by the school
district.
(b) Any information concerning the record of convictions
obtained by the president of the board of education or the
regional superintendent shall be confidential and may only be
transmitted to the general superintendent of the school
district or his designee, the appropriate regional
superintendent if the check was requested by the board of
education for the school district, the presidents of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 750 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
appropriate board of education or school boards if the check
was requested from the Illinois Department of State Police by
the regional superintendent, the State Board of Education and
the school district as authorized under subsection (b-5), the
State Superintendent of Education, the State Educator
Preparation and Licensure Board or any other person necessary
to the decision of hiring the applicant for employment. A copy
of the record of convictions obtained from the Illinois
Department of State Police shall be provided to the applicant
for employment. Upon the check of the Statewide Sex Offender
Database or Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against
Youth Database, the school district or regional superintendent
shall notify an applicant as to whether or not the applicant
has been identified in the Database. If a check of an applicant
for employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time teacher
or concurrent educational support personnel employee in more
than one school district was requested by the regional
superintendent, and the Illinois Department of State Police
upon a check ascertains that the applicant has not been
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug offenses
in subsection (c) of this Section or has not been convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of this
State or of any offense committed or attempted in any other
state or against the laws of the United States that, if
committed or attempted in this State, would have been

HB3655 Engrossed - 751 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and so
notifies the regional superintendent and if the regional
superintendent upon a check ascertains that the applicant has
not been identified in the Sex Offender Database or Statewide
Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database, then the
regional superintendent shall issue to the applicant a
certificate evidencing that as of the date specified by the
Illinois Department of State Police the applicant has not been
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug offenses
in subsection (c) of this Section or has not been convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of this
State or of any offense committed or attempted in any other
state or against the laws of the United States that, if
committed or attempted in this State, would have been
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and
evidencing that as of the date that the regional
superintendent conducted a check of the Statewide Sex Offender
Database or Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against
Youth Database, the applicant has not been identified in the
Database. The school board of any school district may rely on
the certificate issued by any regional superintendent to that
substitute teacher, concurrent part-time teacher, or
concurrent educational support personnel employee or may
initiate its own criminal history records check of the
applicant through the Illinois Department of State Police and

HB3655 Engrossed - 752 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database or
Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Database
as provided in this Section. Any unauthorized release of
confidential information may be a violation of Section 7 of
the Criminal Identification Act.
(b-5) If a criminal history records check or check of the
Statewide Sex Offender Database or Statewide Murderer and
Violent Offender Against Youth Database is performed by a
regional superintendent for an applicant seeking employment as
a substitute teacher with the school district, the regional
superintendent may disclose to the State Board of Education
whether the applicant has been issued a certificate under
subsection (b) based on those checks. If the State Board
receives information on an applicant under this subsection,
then it must indicate in the Educator Licensure Information
System for a 90-day period that the applicant has been issued
or has not been issued a certificate.
(c) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a
person who has been convicted of any offense that would
subject him or her to license suspension or revocation
pursuant to Section 21B-80 of this Code, except as provided
under subsection (b) of 21B-80. Further, the board of
education shall not knowingly employ a person who has been
found to be the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of any
minor under 18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under
Article II of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. As a condition of

HB3655 Engrossed - 753 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employment, the board of education must consider the status of
a person who has been issued an indicated finding of abuse or
neglect of a child by the Department of Children and Family
Services under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act or
by a child welfare agency of another jurisdiction.
(d) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a
person for whom a criminal history records check and a
Statewide Sex Offender Database check have not been initiated.
(e) Within 10 days after the general superintendent of
schools, a regional office of education, or an entity that
provides background checks of license holders to public
schools receives information of a pending criminal charge
against a license holder for an offense set forth in Section
21B-80 of this Code, the superintendent, regional office of
education, or entity must notify the State Superintendent of
Education of the pending criminal charge.
No later than 15 business days after receipt of a record of
conviction or of checking the Statewide Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Database or the Statewide Sex Offender
Database and finding a registration, the general
superintendent of schools or the applicable regional
superintendent shall, in writing, notify the State
Superintendent of Education of any license holder who has been
convicted of a crime set forth in Section 21B-80 of this Code.
Upon receipt of the record of a conviction of or a finding of
child abuse by a holder of any license issued pursuant to

HB3655 Engrossed - 754 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Article 21B or Section 34-8.1 or 34-83 of this Code, the State
Superintendent of Education may initiate licensure suspension
and revocation proceedings as authorized by law. If the
receipt of the record of conviction or finding of child abuse
is received within 6 months after the initial grant of or
renewal of a license, the State Superintendent of Education
may rescind the license holder's license.
(e-5) The general superintendent of schools shall, in
writing, notify the State Superintendent of Education of any
license holder whom he or she has reasonable cause to believe
has committed an intentional act of abuse or neglect with the
result of making a child an abused child or a neglected child,
as defined in Section 3 of the Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act, and that act resulted in the license holder's
dismissal or resignation from the school district. This
notification must be submitted within 30 days after the
dismissal or resignation. The license holder must also be
contemporaneously sent a copy of the notice by the
superintendent. All correspondence, documentation, and other
information so received by the State Superintendent of
Education, the State Board of Education, or the State Educator
Preparation and Licensure Board under this subsection (e-5) is
confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties,
except (i) as necessary for the State Superintendent of
Education or his or her designee to investigate and prosecute
pursuant to Article 21B of this Code, (ii) pursuant to a court

HB3655 Engrossed - 755 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
order, (iii) for disclosure to the license holder or his or her
representative, or (iv) as otherwise provided in this Article
and provided that any such information admitted into evidence
in a hearing is exempt from this confidentiality and
non-disclosure requirement. Except for an act of willful or
wanton misconduct, any superintendent who provides
notification as required in this subsection (e-5) shall have
immunity from any liability, whether civil or criminal or that
otherwise might result by reason of such action.
(f) After March 19, 1990, the provisions of this Section
shall apply to all employees of persons or firms holding
contracts with any school district including, but not limited
to, food service workers, school bus drivers and other
transportation employees, who have direct, daily contact with
the pupils of any school in such district. For purposes of
criminal history records checks and checks of the Statewide
Sex Offender Database on employees of persons or firms holding
contracts with more than one school district and assigned to
more than one school district, the regional superintendent of
the educational service region in which the contracting school
districts are located may, at the request of any such school
district, be responsible for receiving the authorization for a
criminal history records check prepared by each such employee
and submitting the same to the Illinois Department of State
Police and for conducting a check of the Statewide Sex
Offender Database for each employee. Any information

HB3655 Engrossed - 756 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
concerning the record of conviction and identification as a
sex offender of any such employee obtained by the regional
superintendent shall be promptly reported to the president of
the appropriate school board or school boards.
(f-5) Upon request of a school or school district, any
information obtained by the school district pursuant to
subsection (f) of this Section within the last year must be
made available to the requesting school or school district.
(g) Prior to the commencement of any student teaching

student teaching in this Section) in the public schools, a
student teacher is required to authorize a fingerprint-based
criminal history records check. Authorization for and payment
of the costs of the check must be furnished by the student
teacher to the school district. Upon receipt of this
authorization and payment, the school district shall submit
the student teacher's name, sex, race, date of birth, social
security number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as
prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police, to the
Illinois Department of State Police. The Illinois Department
of State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall
furnish, pursuant to a fingerprint-based criminal history
records check, records of convictions, forever and
hereinafter, until expunged, to the president of the board.
The Illinois State Police Department shall charge the school
district a fee for conducting the check, which fee must not

HB3655 Engrossed - 757 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
exceed the cost of the inquiry and must be deposited into the
State Police Services Fund. The school district shall further
perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, as
authorized by the Sex Offender Community Notification Law, and
of the Statewide Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth
Database, as authorized by the Murderer and Violent Offender
Against Youth Registration Act, for each student teacher. The
board may not knowingly allow a person to student teach for
whom a criminal history records check, a Statewide Sex
Offender Database check, and a Statewide Murderer and Violent
Offender Against Youth Database check have not been completed
and reviewed by the district.
A copy of the record of convictions obtained from the
Illinois Department of State Police must be provided to the
student teacher. Any information concerning the record of
convictions obtained by the president of the board is
confidential and may only be transmitted to the general
superintendent of schools or his or her designee, the State
Superintendent of Education, the State Educator Preparation
and Licensure Board, or, for clarification purposes, the
Illinois Department of State Police or the Statewide Sex

the Criminal Identification Act.
The board may not knowingly allow a person to student

HB3655 Engrossed - 758 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
teach who has been convicted of any offense that would subject
him or her to license suspension or revocation pursuant to
subsection (c) of Section 21B-80 of this Code, except as
provided under subsection (b) of Section 21B-80. Further, the
board may not allow a person to student teach if he or she has
been found to be the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of
a minor under 18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under
Article II of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The board must
consider the status of a person to student teach who has been
issued an indicated finding of abuse or neglect of a child by
the Department of Children and Family Services under the
Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act or by a child welfare
agency of another jurisdiction.

HB3655 Engrossed - 765 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in an
electronic format that complies with the form and manner for
requesting and furnishing criminal history record information
as prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police.
These fingerprints shall be retained and checked against the
Illinois Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of
Investigation criminal history record databases now and
hereafter filed, including latent fingerprint searches. The
Illinois Department of State Police shall charge applicants a
fee for conducting the criminal history records check, which
shall be deposited into the State Police Services Fund and
shall not exceed the actual cost of the records check. The
Illinois Department of State Police shall furnish records of
Illinois convictions to the Department pursuant to positive

may allow a proprietor, partner, officer, director, or
controlling person of an applicant who does not have
reasonable access to a designated vendor to provide his or her
fingerprints in an alternative manner. The Department, in its
discretion, may also use other procedures in performing or
obtaining criminal background checks of applicants. Instead of
submitting his or her fingerprints, an individual may submit

HB3655 Engrossed - 766 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
proof that is satisfactory to the Department that an
equivalent security clearance has been conducted. The
Department may adopt any rules necessary to implement this
subsection.

Section 535. The Abused and Neglected Long Term Care
Facility Residents Reporting Act is amended by changing
Sections 6 and 10 as follows:
(210 ILCS 30/6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4166)
Sec. 6. All reports of suspected abuse or neglect made
under this Act shall be made immediately by telephone to the
Department's central register established under Section 14 on
the single, State-wide, toll-free telephone number established
under Section 13, or in person or by telephone through the

Department, and no long term care facility, department of
State government, or other agency shall establish any rules,
criteria, standards or guidelines to the contrary. Every long

reports under Section 4 shall notify its employees of the
provisions of that Section and of this Section, and provide to
the Department documentation that such notification has been
given. The Department of Human Services shall train all of its
mental health and developmental disabilities employees in the
detection and reporting of suspected abuse and neglect of

HB3655 Engrossed - 770 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
residents. Reports made to the central register through the
State-wide, toll-free telephone number shall be transmitted to
appropriate Department offices and municipal health
departments that have responsibility for licensing long term
care facilities under the Nursing Home Care Act, the
Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the
ID/DD Community Care Act, or the MC/DD Act. All reports
received through offices of the Department shall be forwarded
to the central register, in a manner and form described by the
Department. The Department shall be capable of receiving
reports of suspected abuse and neglect 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Reports shall also be made in writing deposited in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid, within 24 hours after having
reasonable cause to believe that the condition of the resident
resulted from abuse or neglect. Such reports may in addition
be made to the local law enforcement agency in the same manner.
However, in the event a report is made to the local law
enforcement agency, the reporter also shall immediately so
inform the Department. The Department shall initiate an
investigation of each report of resident abuse and neglect
under this Act, whether oral or written, as provided for in
Section 3-702 of the Nursing Home Care Act, Section 2-208 of
the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013,
Section 3-702 of the ID/DD Community Care Act, or Section
3-702 of the MC/DD Act, except that reports of abuse which
indicate that a resident's life or safety is in imminent

HB3655 Engrossed - 771 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
danger shall be investigated within 24 hours of such report.
The Department may delegate to law enforcement officials or
other public agencies the duty to perform such investigation.
With respect to investigations of reports of suspected
abuse or neglect of residents of mental health and
developmental disabilities institutions under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Human Services, the Department shall
transmit copies of such reports to the Illinois Department of
State Police, the Department of Human Services, and the
Inspector General appointed under Section 1-17 of the
Department of Human Services Act. If the Department receives a
report of suspected abuse or neglect of a recipient of
services as defined in Section 1-123 of the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Code, the Department shall transmit
copies of such report to the Inspector General and the
Directors of the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission and the
agency designated by the Governor pursuant to the Protection

Advocacy Commission, the agency designated by the Governor
pursuant to the Protection and Advocacy for Persons with
Developmental Disabilities Act, or the Department of Financial
and Professional Regulation, the Department, the Department of
Human Services and the Illinois Department of State Police
shall make available a copy of the final investigative report
regarding investigations conducted by their respective

HB3655 Engrossed - 772 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
agencies on incidents of suspected abuse or neglect of
residents of mental health and developmental disabilities
institutions or individuals receiving services at community
agencies under the jurisdiction of the Department of Human
Services. Such final investigative report shall not contain
witness statements, investigation notes, draft summaries,
results of lie detector tests, investigative files or other
raw data which was used to compile the final investigative
report. Specifically, the final investigative report of the
Illinois Department of State Police shall mean the Director's
final transmittal letter. The Department of Human Services
shall also make available a copy of the results of
disciplinary proceedings of employees involved in incidents of
abuse or neglect to the Directors. All identifiable
information in reports provided shall not be further disclosed
except as provided by the Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities Confidentiality Act. Nothing in this Section is
intended to limit or construe the power or authority granted
to the agency designated by the Governor pursuant to the
Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Developmental
Disabilities Act, pursuant to any other State or federal
statute.
With respect to investigations of reported resident abuse
or neglect, the Department shall effect with appropriate law
enforcement agencies formal agreements concerning methods and
procedures for the conduct of investigations into the criminal

HB3655 Engrossed - 773 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
histories of any administrator, staff assistant or employee of
the nursing home or other person responsible for the residents
care, as well as for other residents in the nursing home who
may be in a position to abuse, neglect or exploit the patient.
Pursuant to the formal agreements entered into with
appropriate law enforcement agencies, the Department may
request information with respect to whether the person or
persons set forth in this paragraph have ever been charged
with a crime and if so, the disposition of those charges.
Unless the criminal histories of the subjects involved crimes
of violence or resident abuse or neglect, the Department shall
be entitled only to information limited in scope to charges
and their dispositions. In cases where prior crimes of
violence or resident abuse or neglect are involved, a more
detailed report can be made available to authorized
representatives of the Department, pursuant to the agreements
entered into with appropriate law enforcement agencies. Any
criminal charges and their disposition information obtained by
the Department shall be confidential and may not be
transmitted outside the Department, except as required herein,
to authorized representatives or delegates of the Department,
and may not be transmitted to anyone within the Department who
is not duly authorized to handle resident abuse or neglect
investigations.
The Department shall effect formal agreements with
appropriate law enforcement agencies in the various counties

HB3655 Engrossed - 774 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and communities to encourage cooperation and coordination in
the handling of resident abuse or neglect cases pursuant to
this Act. The Department shall adopt and implement methods and
procedures to promote statewide uniformity in the handling of
reports of abuse and neglect under this Act, and those methods
and procedures shall be adhered to by personnel of the
Department involved in such investigations and reporting. The
Department shall also make information required by this Act
available to authorized personnel within the Department, as
well as its authorized representatives.
The Department shall keep a continuing record of all
reports made pursuant to this Act, including indications of
the final determination of any investigation and the final
disposition of all reports.
The Department shall report annually to the General
Assembly on the incidence of abuse and neglect of long term
care facility residents, with special attention to residents
who are persons with mental disabilities. The report shall
include but not be limited to data on the number and source of
reports of suspected abuse or neglect filed under this Act,
the nature of any injuries to residents, the final
determination of investigations, the type and number of cases
where abuse or neglect is determined to exist, and the final
disposition of cases.

HB3655 Engrossed - 777 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Sec. 2-201.5. Screening prior to admission.
(a) All persons age 18 or older seeking admission to a
nursing facility must be screened to determine the need for
nursing facility services prior to being admitted, regardless
of income, assets, or funding source. Screening for nursing
facility services shall be administered through procedures
established by administrative rule. Screening may be done by
agencies other than the Department as established by
administrative rule. This Section applies on and after July 1,
1996. No later than October 1, 2010, the Department of
Healthcare and Family Services, in collaboration with the
Department on Aging, the Department of Human Services, and the
Department of Public Health, shall file administrative rules
providing for the gathering, during the screening process, of
information relevant to determining each person's potential
for placing other residents, employees, and visitors at risk
of harm.
(a-1) Any screening performed pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section shall include a determination of whether any
person is being considered for admission to a nursing facility
due to a need for mental health services. For a person who
needs mental health services, the screening shall also include
an evaluation of whether there is permanent supportive
housing, or an array of community mental health services,
including but not limited to supported housing, assertive
community treatment, and peer support services, that would

HB3655 Engrossed - 778 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
enable the person to live in the community. The person shall be
told about the existence of any such services that would
enable the person to live safely and humanely and about
available appropriate nursing home services that would enable
the person to live safely and humanely, and the person shall be
given the assistance necessary to avail himself or herself of
any available services.
(a-2) Pre-screening for persons with a serious mental
illness shall be performed by a psychiatrist, a psychologist,
a registered nurse certified in psychiatric nursing, a
licensed clinical professional counselor, or a licensed
clinical social worker, who is competent to (i) perform a
clinical assessment of the individual, (ii) certify a
diagnosis, (iii) make a determination about the individual's
current need for treatment, including substance abuse
treatment, and recommend specific treatment, and (iv)
determine whether a facility or a community-based program is
able to meet the needs of the individual.
For any person entering a nursing facility, the
pre-screening agent shall make specific recommendations about
what care and services the individual needs to receive,
beginning at admission, to attain or maintain the individual's
highest level of independent functioning and to live in the
most integrated setting appropriate for his or her physical
and personal care and developmental and mental health needs.
These recommendations shall be revised as appropriate by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 779 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
pre-screening or re-screening agent based on the results of
resident review and in response to changes in the resident's
wishes, needs, and interest in transition.
Upon the person entering the nursing facility, the
Department of Human Services or its designee shall assist the
person in establishing a relationship with a community mental
health agency or other appropriate agencies in order to (i)
promote the person's transition to independent living and (ii)
support the person's progress in meeting individual goals.
(a-3) The Department of Human Services, by rule, shall
provide for a prohibition on conflicts of interest for
pre-admission screeners. The rule shall provide for waiver of
those conflicts by the Department of Human Services if the
Department of Human Services determines that a scarcity of
qualified pre-admission screeners exists in a given community
and that, absent a waiver of conflicts, an insufficient number
of pre-admission screeners would be available. If a conflict
is waived, the pre-admission screener shall disclose the
conflict of interest to the screened individual in the manner
provided for by rule of the Department of Human Services. For
the purposes of this subsection, a "conflict of interest"
includes, but is not limited to, the existence of a
professional or financial relationship between (i) a PAS-MH
corporate or a PAS-MH agent and (ii) a community provider or
long-term care facility.
(b) In addition to the screening required by subsection

HB3655 Engrossed - 780 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(a), a facility, except for those licensed under the MC/DD
Act, shall, within 24 hours after admission, request a
criminal history background check pursuant to the Illinois
Uniform Conviction Information Act for all persons age 18 or
older seeking admission to the facility, unless (i) a
background check was initiated by a hospital pursuant to
subsection (d) of Section 6.09 of the Hospital Licensing Act
or a pre-admission background check was conducted by the
Department of Veterans' Affairs 30 days prior to admittance
into an Illinois Veterans Home; (ii) the transferring resident
is immobile; or (iii) the transferring resident is moving into
hospice. The exemption provided in item (ii) or (iii) of this
subsection (b) shall apply only if a background check was
completed by the facility the resident resided at prior to
seeking admission to the facility and the resident was
transferred to the facility with no time passing during which
the resident was not institutionalized. If item (ii) or (iii)
of this subsection (b) applies, the prior facility shall
provide a copy of its background check of the resident and all
supporting documentation, including, when applicable, the
criminal history report and the security assessment, to the
facility to which the resident is being transferred.
Background checks conducted pursuant to this Section shall be
based on the resident's name, date of birth, and other
identifiers as required by the Illinois Department of State
Police. If the results of the background check are

HB3655 Engrossed - 781 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
inconclusive, the facility shall initiate a fingerprint-based
check, unless the fingerprint check is waived by the Director
of Public Health based on verification by the facility that
the resident is completely immobile or that the resident meets
other criteria related to the resident's health or lack of
potential risk which may be established by Departmental rule.
A waiver issued pursuant to this Section shall be valid only
while the resident is immobile or while the criteria
supporting the waiver exist. The facility shall provide for or
arrange for any required fingerprint-based checks to be taken
on the premises of the facility. If a fingerprint-based check
is required, the facility shall arrange for it to be conducted
in a manner that is respectful of the resident's dignity and
that minimizes any emotional or physical hardship to the
resident.
(c) If the results of a resident's criminal history
background check reveal that the resident is an identified
offender as defined in Section 1-114.01, the facility shall do
the following:
(1) Immediately notify the Illinois Department of
State Police, in the form and manner required by the
Illinois Department of State Police, in collaboration with
the Department of Public Health, that the resident is an
identified offender.
(2) Within 72 hours, arrange for a fingerprint-based
criminal history record inquiry to be requested on the

HB3655 Engrossed - 782 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
identified offender resident. The inquiry shall be based
on the subject's name, sex, race, date of birth,
fingerprint images, and other identifiers required by the
Illinois Department of State Police. The inquiry shall be
processed through the files of the Illinois Department of
State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
locate any criminal history record information that may
exist regarding the subject. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation shall furnish to the Illinois Department of
State Police, pursuant to an inquiry under this paragraph
(2), any criminal history record information contained in
its files.
The facility shall comply with all applicable provisions
contained in the Illinois Uniform Conviction Information Act.
All name-based and fingerprint-based criminal history
record inquiries shall be submitted to the Illinois Department
of State Police electronically in the form and manner
prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police. The
Illinois Department of State Police may charge the facility a
fee for processing name-based and fingerprint-based criminal
history record inquiries. The fee shall be deposited into the
State Police Services Fund. The fee shall not exceed the
actual cost of processing the inquiry.
(d) (Blank).
(e) The Department shall develop and maintain a
de-identified database of residents who have injured facility

HB3655 Engrossed - 783 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
staff, facility visitors, or other residents, and the
attendant circumstances, solely for the purposes of evaluating
and improving resident pre-screening and assessment procedures
(including the Criminal History Report prepared under Section
2-201.6) and the adequacy of Department requirements
concerning the provision of care and services to residents. A
resident shall not be listed in the database until a
Department survey confirms the accuracy of the listing. The
names of persons listed in the database and information that
would allow them to be individually identified shall not be
made public. Neither the Department nor any other agency of
State government may use information in the database to take
any action against any individual, licensee, or other entity,
unless the Department or agency receives the information
independent of this subsection (e). All information collected,
maintained, or developed under the authority of this
subsection (e) for the purposes of the database maintained
under this subsection (e) shall be treated in the same manner
as information that is subject to Part 21 of Article VIII of
the Code of Civil Procedure.

Sec. 2-201.6. Criminal History Report.
(a) The Illinois Department of State Police shall prepare

HB3655 Engrossed - 784 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a Criminal History Report when it receives information,
through the criminal history background check required
pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 6.09 of the Hospital
Licensing Act or subsection (c) of Section 2-201.5, or through
any other means, that a resident of a facility is an identified
offender.
(b) The Illinois Department of State Police shall complete
the Criminal History Report within 10 business days after
receiving information under subsection (a) that a resident is
an identified offender.
(c) The Criminal History Report shall include, but not be
limited to, the following:
(1) (Blank).
(2) (Blank).
(3) (Blank).
(3.5) Copies of the identified offender's parole,
mandatory supervised release, or probation orders.
(4) An interview with the identified offender.
(5) (Blank).

of the offender, including arrests, convictions, and the
date of the identified offender's last conviction relative
to the date of admission to a long-term care facility.
(7) If the identified offender is a convicted or
registered sex offender, a review of any and all sex
offender evaluations conducted on that offender. If there

HB3655 Engrossed - 785 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
is no sex offender evaluation available, the Illinois
Department of State Police shall arrange, through the
Department of Public Health, for a sex offender evaluation
to be conducted on the identified offender. If the
convicted or registered sex offender is under supervision
by the Illinois Department of Corrections or a county
probation department, the sex offender evaluation shall be
arranged by and at the expense of the supervising agency.
All evaluations conducted on convicted or registered sex
offenders under this Act shall be conducted by sex
offender evaluators approved by the Sex Offender
Management Board.
(d) The Illinois Department of State Police shall provide
the Criminal History Report to a licensed forensic
psychologist. After (i) consideration of the Criminal History
Report, (ii) consultation with the facility administrator or
the facility medical director, or both, regarding the mental
and physical condition of the identified offender, and (iii)
reviewing the facility's file on the identified offender,
including all incident reports, all information regarding
medication and medication compliance, and all information
regarding previous discharges or transfers from other
facilities, the licensed forensic psychologist shall prepare
an Identified Offender Report and Recommendation. The
Identified Offender Report and Recommendation shall detail
whether and to what extent the identified offender's criminal

HB3655 Engrossed - 786 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
history necessitates the implementation of security measures
within the long-term care facility. If the identified offender
is a convicted or registered sex offender or if the Identified
Offender Report and Recommendation reveals that the identified
offender poses a significant risk of harm to others within the
facility, the offender shall be required to have his or her own
room within the facility.
(e) The licensed forensic psychologist shall complete the
Identified Offender Report and Recommendation within 14
business days after receiving the Criminal History Report and
shall promptly provide the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation to the Illinois Department of State Police,
which shall provide the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation to the following:
(1) The long-term care facility within which the
identified offender resides.
(2) The Chief of Police of the municipality in which
the facility is located.
(3) The State of Illinois Long Term Care Ombudsman.
(4) The Department of Public Health.
(e-5) The Department of Public Health shall keep a
continuing record of all residents determined to be identified
offenders as defined in Section 1-114.01 and shall report the
number of identified offender residents annually to the
General Assembly.
(f) The facility shall incorporate the Identified Offender

HB3655 Engrossed - 787 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Report and Recommendation into the identified offender's care
plan created pursuant to 42 CFR 483.20.
(g) If, based on the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation, a facility determines that it cannot manage
the identified offender resident safely within the facility,
it shall commence involuntary transfer or discharge
proceedings pursuant to Section 3-402.
(h) Except for willful and wanton misconduct, any person
authorized to participate in the development of a Criminal

Sec. 2-201.7. Expanded criminal history background check
pilot program.
(a) The purpose of this Section is to establish a pilot
program based in Cook and Will counties in which an expanded
criminal history background check screening process will be
utilized to better identify residents of licensed long term
care facilities who, because of their criminal histories, may
pose a risk to other vulnerable residents.
(b) In this Section, "mixed population facility" means a
facility that has more than 25 residents with a diagnosis of

HB3655 Engrossed - 788 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
serious mental illness and residents 65 years of age or older.
(c) Every mixed population facility located in Cook County
or Will County shall participate in the pilot program and
shall employ expanded criminal history background check
screening procedures for all residents admitted to the
facility who are at least 18 years of age but less than 65
years of age. Under the pilot program, criminal history
background checks required under this Act shall employ
fingerprint-based criminal history record inquiries or
comparably comprehensive name-based criminal history
background checks. Fingerprint-based criminal history record
inquiries shall be conducted pursuant to subsection (c-2) of
Section 2-201.5. A Criminal History Report and an Identified
Offender Report and Recommendation shall be completed pursuant
to Section 2-201.6 if the results of the expanded criminal
history background check reveal that a resident is an
identified offender as defined in Section 1-114.01.
(d) If an expanded criminal history background check
reveals that a resident is an identified offender as defined
in Section 1-114.01, the facility shall be notified within 72
hours.
(e) The cost of the expanded criminal history background
checks conducted pursuant to the pilot program shall not
exceed $50 per resident and shall be paid by the facility. The
Illinois Department of State Police shall implement all
potential measures to minimize the cost of the expanded

HB3655 Engrossed - 789 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
criminal history background checks to the participating long
term care facilities.
(f) The pilot program shall run for a period of one year
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th
General Assembly. Promptly after the end of that one-year
period, the Department shall report the results of the pilot
program to the General Assembly.

Sec. 2-201.5. Screening prior to admission.
(a) All persons age 18 or older seeking admission to a
facility must be screened to determine the need for facility
services prior to being admitted, regardless of income,
assets, or funding source. In addition, any person who seeks
to become eligible for medical assistance from the Medical
Assistance Program under the Illinois Public Aid Code to pay
for services while residing in a facility must be screened
prior to receiving those benefits. Screening for facility
services shall be administered through procedures established

HB3655 Engrossed - 791 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
by administrative rule. Screening may be done by agencies
other than the Department as established by administrative
rule.
(a-1) Any screening shall also include an evaluation of
whether there are residential supports and services or an
array of community services that would enable the person to
live in the community. The person shall be told about the
existence of any such services that would enable the person to
live safely and humanely in the least restrictive environment,
that is appropriate, that the individual or guardian chooses,
and the person shall be given the assistance necessary to
avail himself or herself of any available services.
(b) In addition to the screening required by subsection
(a), a facility shall, within 24 hours after admission,
request a criminal history background check pursuant to the
Uniform Conviction Information Act for all persons age 18 or
older seeking admission to the facility. Background checks
conducted pursuant to this Section shall be based on the
resident's name, date of birth, and other identifiers as
required by the Illinois Department of State Police. If the
results of the background check are inconclusive, the facility
shall initiate a fingerprint-based check, unless the
fingerprint-based check is waived by the Director of Public
Health based on verification by the facility that the resident
is completely immobile or that the resident meets other
criteria related to the resident's health or lack of potential

HB3655 Engrossed - 792 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
risk which may be established by Departmental rule. A waiver
issued pursuant to this Section shall be valid only while the
resident is immobile or while the criteria supporting the
waiver exist. The facility shall provide for or arrange for
any required fingerprint-based checks. If a fingerprint-based
check is required, the facility shall arrange for it to be
conducted in a manner that is respectful of the resident's
dignity and that minimizes any emotional or physical hardship
to the resident.
(c) If the results of a resident's criminal history
background check reveal that the resident is an identified
offender as defined in Section 1-114.01 of this Act, the
facility shall do the following:
(1) Immediately notify the Illinois Department of
State Police, in the form and manner required by the
Illinois Department of State Police, in collaboration with
the Department of Public Health, that the resident is an
identified offender.
(2) Within 72 hours, arrange for a fingerprint-based
criminal history record inquiry to be requested on the
identified offender resident. The inquiry shall be based
on the subject's name, sex, race, date of birth,
fingerprint images, and other identifiers required by the
Illinois Department of State Police. The inquiry shall be
processed through the files of the Illinois Department of
State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to

HB3655 Engrossed - 793 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
locate any criminal history record information that may
exist regarding the subject. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation shall furnish to the Illinois Department of
State Police, pursuant to an inquiry under this paragraph
(2), any criminal history record information contained in
its files. The facility shall comply with all applicable
provisions contained in the Uniform Conviction Information
Act. All name-based and fingerprint-based criminal history
record inquiries shall be submitted to the Illinois
Department of State Police electronically in the form and
manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of State
Police. The Illinois Department of State Police may charge
the facility a fee for processing name-based and
fingerprint-based criminal history record inquiries. The
fee shall be deposited into the State Police Services
Fund. The fee shall not exceed the actual cost of
processing the inquiry.
(d) The Department shall develop and maintain a
de-identified database of residents who have injured facility
staff, facility visitors, or other residents, and the
attendant circumstances, solely for the purposes of evaluating
and improving resident pre-screening and assessment procedures
(including the Criminal History Report prepared under Section
2-201.6 of this Act) and the adequacy of Department
requirements concerning the provision of care and services to
residents. A resident shall not be listed in the database

HB3655 Engrossed - 794 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
until a Department survey confirms the accuracy of the
listing. The names of persons listed in the database and
information that would allow them to be individually
identified shall not be made public. Neither the Department
nor any other agency of State government may use information
in the database to take any action against any individual,
licensee, or other entity unless the Department or agency
receives the information independent of this subsection (d).
All information collected, maintained, or developed under the
authority of this subsection (d) for the purposes of the
database maintained under this subsection (d) shall be treated
in the same manner as information that is subject to Part 21 of

Department of State Police shall arrange, through the
Department of Public Health, for a sex offender evaluation
to be conducted on the identified offender. If the
convicted or registered sex offender is under supervision
by the Illinois Department of Corrections or a county
probation department, then the sex offender evaluation
shall be arranged by and at the expense of the supervising
agency. All evaluations conducted on convicted or
registered sex offenders under this Act shall be conducted
by sex offender evaluators approved by the Sex Offender
Management Board.
(d) The Illinois Department of State Police shall provide

necessitates the implementation of security measures within
the facility. If the identified offender is a convicted or
registered sex offender, or if the Identified Offender Report
and Recommendation reveals that the identified offender poses
a significant risk of harm to others within the facility, then
the offender shall be required to have his or her own room
within the facility.
(e) The licensed forensic psychologist shall complete the
Identified Offender Report and Recommendation within 14
business days after receiving the Criminal History Report and
shall promptly provide the Identified Offender Report and

HB3655 Engrossed - 810 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
convicted or registered sex offender is under supervision
by the Illinois Department of Corrections or a county
probation department, the sex offender evaluation shall be
arranged by and at the expense of the supervising agency.
All evaluations conducted on convicted or registered sex
offenders under this Act shall be conducted by sex
offender evaluators approved by the Sex Offender
Management Board.
(d) The Illinois Department of State Police shall provide
the Criminal History Report to a licensed forensic
psychologist. After (i) consideration of the Criminal History

the facility medical director, or both, regarding the mental
and physical condition of the identified offender, and (iii)
reviewing the facility's file on the identified offender,
including all incident reports, all information regarding
medication and medication compliance, and all information
regarding previous discharges or transfers from other
facilities, the licensed forensic psychologist shall prepare
an Identified Offender Report and Recommendation. The
Identified Offender Report and Recommendation shall detail
whether and to what extent the identified offender's criminal
history necessitates the implementation of security measures
within the long-term care facility. If the identified offender
is a convicted or registered sex offender or if the Identified
Offender Report and Recommendation reveals that the identified

HB3655 Engrossed - 811 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
offender poses a significant risk of harm to others within the
facility, the offender shall be required to have his or her own
room within the facility.
(e) The licensed forensic psychologist shall complete the
Identified Offender Report and Recommendation within 14
business days after receiving the Criminal History Report and
shall promptly provide the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation to the Illinois Department of State Police,
which shall provide the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation to the following:
(1) The facility within which the identified offender
resides.
(2) The Chief of Police of the municipality in which
the facility is located.
(3) The State of Illinois Long Term Care Ombudsman.
(4) The Department of Public Health.
(e-5) The Department of Public Health shall keep a
continuing record of all consumers determined to be identified
offenders as defined in Section 1-114.01 of the Nursing Home
Care Act and shall report the number of identified offender
consumers annually to the General Assembly.
(f) The facility shall incorporate the Identified Offender
Report and Recommendation into the identified offender's care
plan created pursuant to 42 CFR 483.20.
(g) If, based on the Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation, a facility determines that it cannot manage

HB3655 Engrossed - 812 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the identified offender consumer safely within the facility,
it shall commence involuntary transfer or discharge
proceedings pursuant to Section 3-402.
(h) Except for willful and wanton misconduct, any person
authorized to participate in the development of a Criminal
History Report or Identified Offender Report and
Recommendation is immune from criminal or civil liability for
any acts or omissions as the result of his or her good faith
effort to comply with this Section.

Section 560. The Hospital Licensing Act is amended by
changing Section 6.09 as follows:
(210 ILCS 85/6.09) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 147.09)
Sec. 6.09. (a) In order to facilitate the orderly
transition of aged patients and patients with disabilities
from hospitals to post-hospital care, whenever a patient who
qualifies for the federal Medicare program is hospitalized,
the patient shall be notified of discharge at least 24 hours
prior to discharge from the hospital. With regard to pending
discharges to a skilled nursing facility, the hospital must
notify the case coordination unit, as defined in 89 Ill. Adm.
Code 240.260, at least 24 hours prior to discharge. When the
assessment is completed in the hospital, the case coordination
unit shall provide a copy of the required assessment

HB3655 Engrossed - 813 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
documentation directly to the nursing home to which the
patient is being discharged prior to discharge. The Department
on Aging shall provide notice of this requirement to case
coordination units. When a case coordination unit is unable to
complete an assessment in a hospital prior to the discharge of
a patient, 60 years of age or older, to a nursing home, the
case coordination unit shall notify the Department on Aging
which shall notify the Department of Healthcare and Family
Services. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services and
the Department on Aging shall adopt rules to address these
instances to ensure that the patient is able to access nursing
home care, the nursing home is not penalized for accepting the
admission, and the patient's timely discharge from the
hospital is not delayed, to the extent permitted under federal
law or regulation. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude
federal requirements for a pre-admission screening/mental
health (PAS/MH) as required under Section 2-201.5 of the
Nursing Home Care Act or State or federal law or regulation. If
home health services are ordered, the hospital must inform its
designated case coordination unit, as defined in 89 Ill. Adm.
Code 240.260, of the pending discharge and must provide the
patient with the case coordination unit's telephone number and
other contact information.
(b) Every hospital shall develop procedures for a
physician with medical staff privileges at the hospital or any
appropriate medical staff member to provide the discharge

HB3655 Engrossed - 814 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
notice prescribed in subsection (a) of this Section. The
procedures must include prohibitions against discharging or
referring a patient to any of the following if unlicensed,
uncertified, or unregistered: (i) a board and care facility,
as defined in the Board and Care Home Act; (ii) an assisted
living and shared housing establishment, as defined in the
Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act; (iii) a facility
licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized
Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the ID/DD Community
Care Act, or the MC/DD Act; (iv) a supportive living facility,
as defined in Section 5-5.01a of the Illinois Public Aid Code;
or (v) a free-standing hospice facility licensed under the
Hospice Program Licensing Act if licensure, certification, or
registration is required. The Department of Public Health
shall annually provide hospitals with a list of licensed,
certified, or registered board and care facilities, assisted
living and shared housing establishments, nursing homes,
supportive living facilities, facilities licensed under the
ID/DD Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, or the Specialized
Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, and hospice
facilities. Reliance upon this list by a hospital shall
satisfy compliance with this requirement. The procedure may
also include a waiver for any case in which a discharge notice
is not feasible due to a short length of stay in the hospital
by the patient, or for any case in which the patient
voluntarily desires to leave the hospital before the

HB3655 Engrossed - 815 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
expiration of the 24 hour period.
(c) At least 24 hours prior to discharge from the
hospital, the patient shall receive written information on the
patient's right to appeal the discharge pursuant to the
federal Medicare program, including the steps to follow to
appeal the discharge and the appropriate telephone number to
call in case the patient intends to appeal the discharge.
(d) Before transfer of a patient to a long term care
facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act where
elderly persons reside, a hospital shall as soon as
practicable initiate a name-based criminal history background
check by electronic submission to the Illinois Department of
State Police for all persons between the ages of 18 and 70
years; provided, however, that a hospital shall be required to
initiate such a background check only with respect to patients
who:
(1) are transferring to a long term care facility for
the first time;
(2) have been in the hospital more than 5 days;
(3) are reasonably expected to remain at the long term
care facility for more than 30 days;
(4) have a known history of serious mental illness or
substance abuse; and
(5) are independently ambulatory or mobile for more
than a temporary period of time.
A hospital may also request a criminal history background

HB3655 Engrossed - 816 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
check for a patient who does not meet any of the criteria set
forth in items (1) through (5).
A hospital shall notify a long term care facility if the
hospital has initiated a criminal history background check on
a patient being discharged to that facility. In all
circumstances in which the hospital is required by this
subsection to initiate the criminal history background check,
the transfer to the long term care facility may proceed
regardless of the availability of criminal history results.
Upon receipt of the results, the hospital shall promptly
forward the results to the appropriate long term care
facility. If the results of the background check are
inconclusive, the hospital shall have no additional duty or
obligation to seek additional information from, or about, the
patient.

(g) Prior to disposal of any medication collected as
evidence in a criminal investigation under this Section, a
State Police officer, police officer, coroner, or medical
examiner shall photograph the unused medication and its
container or packaging, if available; document the number or
amount of medication to be disposed; and include the
photographs and documentation in the police report, coroner
report, or medical examiner report.
(h) If an autopsy is performed as part of a death
investigation, no medication seized under this Section shall
be disposed of until after a toxicology report is received by
the entity requesting the report.
(i) If a police officer, State Police officer, coroner, or

then the institution or facility shall:
(1) to the greatest extent practicable, notify the
hospital or medical facility that is treating the

HB3655 Engrossed - 820 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
safety concerns regarding the patient;
(2) to the greatest extent practicable, ensure the
transferred committed person is accompanied by the most

of high-risk committed persons through: (A) the training
of the Department of Corrections, Department of Juvenile
Justice, or Illinois Department of State Police; (B) law
enforcement training that is substantially equivalent to
the training of the Department of Corrections, Department
of Juvenile Justice, or Illinois Department of State
Police; or (C) the training described in Section 35. Under
no circumstances may leg irons or shackles or waist

wearing security restraints in accordance with the custodial
agency's rules and procedures if the custodial agency
determines that restraints are necessary for the following
reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the committed person
or another person; (ii) because the committed person has a
history of disruptive behavior that has placed others in
potentially harmful situations or presents a substantial risk

HB3655 Engrossed - 822 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of inflicting physical harm on himself or herself or others as
evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii) there is a well-founded

(2) to the greatest extent practicable, ensure the
transferred committed person is accompanied by the most
comprehensive medical records possible;
(3) provide: (A) at least one guard trained in

HB3655 Engrossed - 823 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

agency shall attest to such training for custodial escort
and custody of high-risk committed persons through: (i)
the training of the Department of Corrections, Department
of Juvenile Justice, or Illinois Department of State
Police, (ii) law enforcement training that is
substantially equivalent to the training of the Department
of Corrections, Department of Juvenile Justice, or
Illinois Department of State Police, or (iii) the training
described in Section 35; or (B) 2 guards to accompany the
committed person at all times during the visit to the
hospital or medical facility; and
(4) ensure that only medical personnel, Department of
Juvenile Justice personnel, and visitors on the committed
person's approved institutional visitors list may visit
the committed person. Visitation by a person on the
committed person's approved institutional visitors list
shall be subject to the rules and procedures of the
hospital or medical facility and the Department of
Juvenile Justice. In any situation in which a committed
person is being visited:
(A) the name of the visitor must be listed per the
facility's or institution's documentation;
(B) the visitor shall submit to the search of his

Juvenile Justice shall ensure that the committed person is
wearing security restraints on either his or her wrists or
ankles in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Department of Juvenile Justice if the Department of Juvenile
Justice determines that restraints are necessary for the
following reasons: (i) to prevent physical harm to the
committed person or another person; (ii) because the committed
person has a history of disruptive behavior that has placed
others in potentially harmful situations or presents a
substantial risk of inflicting physical harm on himself or
herself or others as evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii)
there is a well-founded belief that the committed person
presents a substantial risk of flight. Any restraints used on
a committed person under this paragraph shall be the least
restrictive restraints necessary to prevent flight or physical
harm to the committed person or another person. Restraints
shall not be used on the committed person as provided in this
paragraph if medical personnel determine that the restraints

HB3655 Engrossed - 825 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
would impede medical treatment. Under no circumstances may leg
irons or shackles or waist shackles be used on any pregnant
female prisoner who is in labor. In addition, restraint of a
pregnant female prisoner in the custody of the Cook County
shall comply with Section 3-15003.6 of the Counties Code.
The hospital or medical facility may establish protocols
for the receipt of committed persons in collaboration with the
Department of Juvenile Justice, specifically with regard to

changing Sections 155.24, 401, and 1520 as follows:
(215 ILCS 5/155.24) (from Ch. 73, par. 767.24)

office of the Illinois Secretary of State;
(2) "relevant" means having a tendency to make the
existence of any information that is of consequence to an

the sole discretion of the authorized governmental agency
such information is requested by that authorized

deemed important to the authorized governmental agency which

HB3655 Engrossed - 827 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the insurer may possess relating to any specific motor vehicle

authorized governmental agency, and receive within a
reasonable time after the completion of the investigation, not

inspection. Such evidence or information shall not be subject
to subpoena duces tecum in a civil or criminal proceeding
unless, after reasonable notice to any insurer, agent
authorized by an insurer to act on its behalf and authorized
governmental agency which has an interest in such information
and a hearing, the court determines that the public interest
and any ongoing investigation by the authorized governmental
agency, insurer, or any agent authorized by an insurer to act
on its behalf will not be jeopardized by obedience to such a
subpoena duces tecum.
(h) No insurer, or agent authorized by an insurer on its
behalf, authorized governmental agency or their respective
employees shall be subject to any civil or criminal liability
in a cause of action of any kind for releasing or receiving any
information pursuant to this Section. Nothing herein is
intended to or does in any way or manner abrogate or lessen the
common and statutory law privileges and immunities of an

Sec. 33. Fingerprint-based criminal history records check.
(a) A fingerprint-based criminal history records check is
not required for health care employees who have been
continuously employed by a health care employer since October
1, 2007, have met the requirements for criminal history
background checks prior to October 1, 2007, and have no
disqualifying convictions or requested and received a waiver
of those disqualifying convictions. These employees shall be
retained on the Health Care Worker Registry as long as they
remain active. Nothing in this subsection (a) shall be
construed to prohibit a health care employer from initiating a
criminal history records check for these employees. Should
these employees seek a new position with a different health
care employer, then a fingerprint-based criminal history
records check shall be required.

HB3655 Engrossed - 844 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(b) On October 1, 2007 or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practical, in the discretion of the Director of
Public Health, and thereafter, any student, applicant, or
employee who desires to be included on the Department of
Public Health's Health Care Worker Registry shall authorize
the Department of Public Health or its designee to request a
fingerprint-based criminal history records check to determine
if the individual has a conviction for a disqualifying
offense. This authorization shall allow the Department of
Public Health to request and receive information and
assistance from any State or governmental agency. Each
individual shall submit his or her fingerprints to the
Illinois Department of State Police in an electronic format
that complies with the form and manner for requesting and
furnishing criminal history record information prescribed by
the Illinois Department of State Police. The fingerprints
submitted under this Section shall be checked against the
fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
Department of State Police criminal history record databases.
The Illinois Department of State Police shall charge a fee for
conducting the criminal history records check, which shall not
exceed the actual cost of the records check. The livescan
vendor may act as the designee for individuals, educational
entities, or health care employers in the collection of
Illinois Department of State Police fees and deposit those
fees into the State Police Services Fund. The Illinois

HB3655 Engrossed - 845 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Department of State Police shall provide information
concerning any criminal convictions, now or hereafter filed,
against the individual.
(c) On October 1, 2007 or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practical, in the discretion of the Director of
Public Health, and thereafter, an educational entity, other
than a secondary school, conducting a nurse aide training
program shall initiate a fingerprint-based criminal history
records check required by this Act prior to entry of an
individual into the training program.
(d) On October 1, 2007 or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practical, in the discretion of the Director of
Public Health, and thereafter, a health care employer who
makes a conditional offer of employment to an applicant for a
position as an employee shall initiate a fingerprint-based
criminal history record check, requested by the Department of
Public Health, on the applicant, if such a background check
has not been previously conducted. Workforce intermediaries
and organizations providing pro bono legal services may
initiate a fingerprint-based criminal history record check if
a conditional offer of employment has not been made and a
background check has not been previously conducted for an
individual who has a disqualifying conviction and is receiving
services from a workforce intermediary or an organization
providing pro bono legal services.
(e) When initiating a background check requested by the

Department of Public Health, an educational entity, health
care employer, workforce intermediary, or organization that
provides pro bono legal services shall electronically submit
to the Department of Public Health the student's, applicant's,

collected electronically and transmitted to the Illinois
Department of State Police within 10 working days. The
educational entity, health care employer, workforce
intermediary, or organization that provides pro bono legal
services shall transmit all necessary information and fees to
the livescan vendor and Illinois Department of State Police
within 10 working days after receipt of the authorization.
This information and the results of the criminal history
record checks shall be maintained by the Department of Public
Health's Health Care Worker Registry.
(f) A direct care employer may initiate a
fingerprint-based background check required by this Act for
any of its employees, but may not use this process to initiate
background checks for residents. The results of any
fingerprint-based background check that is initiated with the
Department as the requester shall be entered in the Health
Care Worker Registry.

no further criminal history record checks are required, as the
Illinois Department of State Police shall notify the
Department of Public Health of any additional convictions
associated with the fingerprints previously submitted. Health
care employers shall check the Health Care Worker Registry
before hiring an employee to determine that the individual has
had a fingerprint-based record check required by this Act and
has no disqualifying convictions or has been granted a waiver
pursuant to Section 40 of this Act. If the individual has not
had such a background check or is not active on the Health Care
Worker Registry, then the health care employer shall initiate
a fingerprint-based record check requested by the Department
of Public Health. If an individual is inactive on the Health
Care Worker Registry, that individual is prohibited from being
hired to work as a certified nursing assistant if, since the
individual's most recent completion of a competency test,
there has been a period of 24 consecutive months during which
the individual has not provided nursing or nursing-related
services for pay. If the individual can provide proof of
having retained his or her certification by not having a
24-consecutive-month break in service for pay, he or she may
be hired as a certified nursing assistant and that employment
information shall be entered into the Health Care Worker

HB3655 Engrossed - 848 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Registry.
(h) On October 1, 2007 or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practical, in the discretion of the Director of
Public Health, and thereafter, if the Illinois Department of
State Police notifies the Department of Public Health that an
employee has a new conviction of a disqualifying offense,
based upon the fingerprints that were previously submitted,
then (i) the Health Care Worker Registry shall notify the
employee's last known employer of the offense, (ii) a record
of the employee's disqualifying offense shall be entered on
the Health Care Worker Registry, and (iii) the individual
shall no longer be eligible to work as an employee unless he or
she obtains a waiver pursuant to Section 40 of this Act.
(i) On October 1, 2007, or as soon thereafter, in the
discretion of the Director of Public Health, as is reasonably
practical, and thereafter, each direct care employer or its
designee shall provide an employment verification for each
employee no less than annually. The direct care employer or
its designee shall log into the Health Care Worker Registry
through a secure login. The health care employer or its
designee shall indicate employment and termination dates
within 30 days after hiring or terminating an employee, as
well as the employment category and type. Failure to comply
with this subsection (i) constitutes a licensing violation. A
fine of up to $500 may be imposed for failure to maintain these
records. This information shall be used by the Department of

HB3655 Engrossed - 849 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Public Health to notify the last known employer of any
disqualifying offenses that are reported by the Illinois
Department of State Police.
(j) In the event that an applicant or employee has a waiver
for one or more disqualifying offenses pursuant to Section 40
of this Act and he or she is otherwise eligible to work, the
Health Care Worker Registry shall indicate that the applicant
or employee is eligible to work and that additional
information is available on the Health Care Worker Registry.
The Health Care Worker Registry may indicate that the
applicant or employee has received a waiver.
(k) The student, applicant, or employee shall be notified
of each of the following whenever a fingerprint-based criminal
history records check is required:
(1) That the educational entity, health care employer,
or long-term care facility shall initiate a
fingerprint-based criminal history record check required
by this Act of the student, applicant, or employee.
(2) That the student, applicant, or employee has a
right to obtain a copy of the criminal records report that
indicates a conviction for a disqualifying offense and
challenge the accuracy and completeness of the report
through an established Illinois Department of State Police
procedure of Access and Review.
(3) That the applicant, if hired conditionally, may be
terminated if the criminal records report indicates that

HB3655 Engrossed - 850 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the applicant has a record of a conviction of any of the
criminal offenses enumerated in Section 25, unless the
applicant obtains a waiver pursuant to Section 40 of this
Act.
(4) That the applicant, if not hired conditionally,
shall not be hired if the criminal records report
indicates that the applicant has a record of a conviction
of any of the criminal offenses enumerated in Section 25,
unless the applicant obtains a waiver pursuant to Section
40 of this Act.
(5) That the employee shall be terminated if the
criminal records report indicates that the employee has a
record of a conviction of any of the criminal offenses
enumerated in Section 25.
(6) If, after the employee has originally been
determined not to have disqualifying offenses, the
employer is notified that the employee has a new
conviction(s) of any of the criminal offenses enumerated
in Section 25, then the employee shall be terminated.
(l) A health care employer or long-term care facility may
conditionally employ an applicant for up to 3 months pending
the results of a fingerprint-based criminal history record
check requested by the Department of Public Health.
(m) The Department of Public Health or an entity
responsible for inspecting, licensing, certifying, or
registering the health care employer or long-term care

HB3655 Engrossed - 851 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

based on the results of a fingerprint-based criminal history
record check.

the temporary certificate of authority. While the temporary
certificate of authority is in effect, the Department may
disapprove the selection of a new licensee-in-charge by the

Department has good cause to believe that the person selected
will not fully exercise the responsibilities of a
licensee-in-charge. If the Department has disapproved the
selection of a new licensee-in-charge and the temporary
certificate of authority expires or is about to expire without
the agency selecting another new licensee-in-charge, the

HB3655 Engrossed - 903 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
card shall have his or her fingerprints submitted to the
Illinois Department of State Police in an electronic format
that complies with the form and manner for requesting and
furnishing criminal history record information as prescribed
by the Illinois Department of State Police. These fingerprints
shall be checked against the Illinois Department of State
Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history
record databases now and hereafter filed. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall charge applicants a fee for
conducting the criminal history records check, which shall be
deposited in the State Police Services Fund and shall not
exceed the actual cost of the records check. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall furnish, pursuant to positive
identification, records of Illinois convictions to the
Department. The Department may require applicants to pay a
separate fingerprinting fee, either to the Department or
directly to the vendor. The Department, in its discretion, may
allow an applicant who does not have reasonable access to a
designated vendor to provide his or her fingerprints in an
alternative manner. The Department, in its discretion, may
also use other procedures in performing or obtaining criminal
background checks of applicants. Instead of submitting his or
her fingerprints, an individual may submit proof that is
satisfactory to the Department that an equivalent security
clearance has been conducted. Also, an individual who has
retired as a peace officer within 12 months of application may

HB3655 Engrossed - 904 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
submit verification, on forms provided by the Department and
signed by his or her employer, of his or her previous full-time
employment as a peace officer.
(d) The Department shall issue a permanent employee
registration card, in a form the Department prescribes, to all
qualified applicants. The holder of a permanent employee
registration card shall carry the card at all times while
actually engaged in the performance of the duties of his or her
employment. Expiration and requirements for renewal of
permanent employee registration cards shall be established by
rule of the Department. Possession of a permanent employee
registration card does not in any way imply that the holder of
the card is employed by an agency unless the permanent
employee registration card is accompanied by the employee
identification card required by subsection (f) of this
Section.
(e) Each employer shall maintain a record of each employee
that is accessible to the duly authorized representatives of
the Department. The record shall contain the following
information:
(1) A photograph taken within 10 days of the date that
the employee begins employment with the employer. The
photograph shall be replaced with a current photograph
every 3 calendar years.
(2) The Employee's Statement specified in subsection
(b) of this Section.

HB3655 Engrossed - 905 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(3) All correspondence or documents relating to the
character and integrity of the employee received by the
employer from any official source or law enforcement
agency.
(4) In the case of former employees, the employee
identification card of that person issued under subsection
(f) of this Section. Each employee record shall duly note
if the employee is employed in an armed capacity. Armed
employee files shall contain a copy of an active firearm
owner's identification card and a copy of an active
firearm control card. Each employer shall maintain a
record for each armed employee of each instance in which
the employee's weapon was discharged during the course of
his or her professional duties or activities. The record
shall be maintained on forms provided by the Department, a
copy of which must be filed with the Department within 15
days of an instance. The record shall include the date and
time of the occurrence, the circumstances involved in the
occurrence, and any other information as the Department
may require. Failure to provide this information to the
Department or failure to maintain the record as a part of
each armed employee's permanent file is grounds for
disciplinary action. The Department, upon receipt of a
report, shall have the authority to make any investigation
it considers appropriate into any occurrence in which an
employee's weapon was discharged and to take disciplinary

HB3655 Engrossed - 906 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
action as may be appropriate.
(5) A copy of the employee's permanent employee
registration card or a copy of the Department's "License
Lookup" Webpage showing that the employee has been issued
a valid permanent employee registration card by the
Department.
The Department may, by rule, prescribe further record
requirements.
(f) Every employer shall furnish an employee
identification card to each of his or her employees. This
employee identification card shall contain a recent photograph
of the employee, the employee's name, the name and agency
license number of the employer, the employee's personal
description, the signature of the employer, the signature of
that employee, the date of issuance, and an employee
identification card number.
(g) No employer may issue an employee identification card
to any person who is not employed by the employer in accordance
with this Section or falsely state or represent that a person
is or has been in his or her employ. It is unlawful for an
applicant for registered employment to file with the
Department the fingerprints of a person other than himself or
herself.
(h) Every employer shall obtain the identification card of
every employee who terminates employment with him or her.
(i) Every employer shall maintain a separate roster of the

names of all employees currently working in an armed capacity
and submit the roster to the Department on request.
(j) No agency may employ any person to perform a licensed
activity under this Act unless the person possesses a valid
permanent employee registration card or a valid license under
this Act, or is exempt pursuant to subsection (n).
(k) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (j), an
agency may employ a person in a temporary capacity if all of
the following conditions are met:

to the Department an application for a permanent employee
registration card, including the required fingerprint
receipt and fees.
(2) The agency has verification from the Department
that the applicant has no record of any criminal

the Illinois Department of State Police criminal history
check as part of the employee record as required under
subsection (e) of this Section.
(3) The agency exercises due diligence to ensure that
the person is qualified under the requirements of the Act
to be issued a permanent employee registration card.

names of all employees whose applications are currently

HB3655 Engrossed - 908 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
pending with the Department and submits the roster to the
Department on a monthly basis. Rosters are to be
maintained by the agency for a period of at least 24
months.
An agency may employ only a permanent employee applicant
for which it either submitted a permanent employee application
and all required forms and fees or it confirms with the
Department that a permanent employee application and all
required forms and fees have been submitted by another agency,
licensee or the permanent employee and all other requirements
of this Section are met.
The Department shall have the authority to revoke, without
a hearing, the temporary authority of an individual to work
upon receipt of Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint
data or a report of another official authority indicating a
criminal conviction. If the Department has not received a
temporary employee's Federal Bureau of Investigation
fingerprint data within 120 days of the date the Department
received the Illinois Department of State Police fingerprint
data, the Department may, at its discretion, revoke the
employee's temporary authority to work with 15 days written
notice to the individual and the employing agency.
An agency may not employ a person in a temporary capacity
if it knows or reasonably should have known that the person has
been convicted of a crime under the laws of this State, has
been convicted in another state of any crime that is a crime

HB3655 Engrossed - 909 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
under the laws of this State, has been convicted of any crime
in a federal court, or has been posted as an unapproved
applicant by the Department. Notice by the Department to the
agency, via certified mail, personal delivery, electronic
mail, or posting on the Department's Internet site accessible
to the agency that the person has been convicted of a crime
shall be deemed constructive knowledge of the conviction on
the part of the agency. The Department may adopt rules to
implement this subsection (k).
(l) No person may be employed under this Section in any
capacity if:
(1) the person, while so employed, is being paid by
the United States or any political subdivision for the
time so employed in addition to any payments he or she may
receive from the employer; or
(2) the person wears any portion of his or her
official uniform, emblem of authority, or equipment while
so employed.
(m) If information is discovered affecting the
registration of a person whose fingerprints were submitted
under this Section, the Department shall so notify the agency
that submitted the fingerprints on behalf of that person.
(n) Peace officers shall be exempt from the requirements
of this Section relating to permanent employee registration
cards. The agency shall remain responsible for any peace
officer employed under this exemption, regardless of whether

HB3655 Engrossed - 910 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the peace officer is compensated as an employee or as an
independent contractor and as further defined by rule.
(o) Persons who have no access to confidential or security
information, who do not go to a client's or prospective
client's residence or place of business, and who otherwise do
not provide traditional security services are exempt from
employee registration. Examples of exempt employees include,
but are not limited to, employees working in the capacity of
ushers, directors, ticket takers, cashiers, drivers, and
reception personnel. Confidential or security information is
that which pertains to employee files, scheduling, client
contracts, or technical security and alarm data.

United States Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue
Service Form 4029. Regardless of age, an applicant seeking a

(230 ILCS 5/9) (from Ch. 8, par. 37-9)
Sec. 9. The Board shall have all powers necessary and
proper to fully and effectively execute the provisions of this
Act, including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) The Board is vested with jurisdiction and supervision
over all race meetings in this State, over all licensees doing
business in this State, over all occupation licensees, and
over all persons on the facilities of any licensee. Such
jurisdiction shall include the power to issue licenses to the
Illinois Department of Agriculture authorizing the pari-mutuel
system of wagering on harness and Quarter Horse races held (1)
at the Illinois State Fair in Sangamon County, and (2) at the
DuQuoin State Fair in Perry County. The jurisdiction of the
Board shall also include the power to issue licenses to county
fairs which are eligible to receive funds pursuant to the
Agricultural Fair Act, as now or hereafter amended, or their
agents, authorizing the pari-mutuel system of wagering on
horse races conducted at the county fairs receiving such
licenses. Such licenses shall be governed by subsection (n) of
this Section.
Upon application, the Board shall issue a license to the
Illinois Department of Agriculture to conduct harness and

HB3655 Engrossed - 921 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Quarter Horse races at the Illinois State Fair and at the
DuQuoin State Fairgrounds during the scheduled dates of each
fair. The Board shall not require and the Department of
Agriculture shall be exempt from the requirements of Sections
15.3, 18 and 19, paragraphs (a)(2), (b), (c), (d), (e), (e-5),
(e-10), (f), (g), and (h) of Section 20, and Sections 21, 24
and 25. The Board and the Department of Agriculture may extend
any or all of these exemptions to any contractor or agent
engaged by the Department of Agriculture to conduct its race
meetings when the Board determines that this would best serve
the public interest and the interest of horse racing.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, it
shall be lawful for any licensee to operate pari-mutuel
wagering or contract with the Department of Agriculture to
operate pari-mutuel wagering at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds
or for the Department to enter into contracts with a licensee,
employ its owners, employees or agents and employ such other
occupation licensees as the Department deems necessary in
connection with race meetings and wagerings.
(b) The Board is vested with the full power to promulgate
reasonable rules and regulations for the purpose of
administering the provisions of this Act and to prescribe
reasonable rules, regulations and conditions under which all
horse race meetings or wagering in the State shall be
conducted. Such reasonable rules and regulations are to
provide for the prevention of practices detrimental to the

HB3655 Engrossed - 922 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
public interest and to promote the best interests of horse
racing and to impose penalties for violations thereof.
(c) The Board, and any person or persons to whom it
delegates this power, is vested with the power to enter the
facilities and other places of business of any licensee to
determine whether there has been compliance with the
provisions of this Act and its rules and regulations.

delegates this power, is vested with the authority to
investigate alleged violations of the provisions of this Act,
its reasonable rules and regulations, orders and final
decisions; the Board shall take appropriate disciplinary
action against any licensee or occupation licensee for
violation thereof or institute appropriate legal action for
the enforcement thereof.
(e) The Board, and any person or persons to whom it
delegates this power, may eject or exclude from any race
meeting or the facilities of any licensee, or any part
thereof, any occupation licensee or any other individual whose
conduct or reputation is such that his presence on those
facilities may, in the opinion of the Board, call into
question the honesty and integrity of horse racing or wagering
or interfere with the orderly conduct of horse racing or
wagering; provided, however, that no person shall be excluded
or ejected from the facilities of any licensee solely on the
grounds of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 923 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
sex. The power to eject or exclude an occupation licensee or
other individual may be exercised for just cause by the
licensee or the Board, subject to subsequent hearing by the
Board as to the propriety of said exclusion.
(f) The Board is vested with the power to acquire,
establish, maintain and operate (or provide by contract to
maintain and operate) testing laboratories and related
facilities, for the purpose of conducting saliva, blood, urine
and other tests on the horses run or to be run in any horse
race meeting, including races run at county fairs, and to
purchase all equipment and supplies deemed necessary or
desirable in connection with any such testing laboratories and
related facilities and all such tests.
(g) The Board may require that the records, including
financial or other statements of any licensee or any person
affiliated with the licensee who is involved directly or
indirectly in the activities of any licensee as regulated
under this Act to the extent that those financial or other
statements relate to such activities be kept in such manner as
prescribed by the Board, and that Board employees shall have
access to those records during reasonable business hours.
Within 120 days of the end of its fiscal year, each licensee
shall transmit to the Board an audit of the financial
transactions and condition of the licensee's total operations.
All audits shall be conducted by certified public accountants.
Each certified public accountant must be registered in the

HB3655 Engrossed - 924 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
State of Illinois under the Illinois Public Accounting Act.
The compensation for each certified public accountant shall be
paid directly by the licensee to the certified public
accountant. A licensee shall also submit any other financial
or related information the Board deems necessary to
effectively administer this Act and all rules, regulations,
and final decisions promulgated under this Act.
(h) The Board shall name and appoint in the manner
provided by the rules and regulations of the Board: an
Executive Director; a State director of mutuels; State
veterinarians and representatives to take saliva, blood, urine
and other tests on horses; licensing personnel; revenue

(b) Each application for an occupation license shall be on
forms prescribed by the Board. Such license, when issued,

The application shall be accompanied by a fee of not more than
$25 per year or, in the case of 3-year occupation license
applications, a fee of not more than $60. Each applicant shall
set forth in the application his full name and address, and if
he had been issued prior occupation licenses or has been
licensed in any other state under any other name, such name,
his age, whether or not a permit or license issued to him in
any other state has been suspended or revoked and if so whether
such suspension or revocation is in effect at the time of the
application, and such other information as the Board may
require. Fees for registration of stable names shall not

license:
(1) for violation of any of the provisions of this
Act; or
(2) for violation of any of the rules or regulations
of the Board; or

have justified the Board in refusing to issue such
occupation license; or
(4) for any other just cause.
(e) Each applicant shall submit his or her fingerprints
to the Illinois Department of State Police in the form and
manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police.
These fingerprints shall be checked against the fingerprint

records check, which shall be deposited in the State Police
Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the
records check. The Illinois Department of State Police shall
furnish, pursuant to positive identification, records of
conviction to the Board. Each applicant for licensure shall
submit with his occupation license application, on forms
provided by the Board, 2 sets of his fingerprints. All such
applicants shall appear in person at the location designated
by the Board for the purpose of submitting such sets of
fingerprints; however, with the prior approval of a State
steward, an applicant may have such sets of fingerprints taken
by an official law enforcement agency and submitted to the
Board.
(f) The Board may, in its discretion, issue an occupation
license without submission of fingerprints if an applicant has
been duly licensed in another recognized racing jurisdiction
after submitting fingerprints that were subjected to a Federal
Bureau of Investigation criminal history background check in

begins conducting gaming pursuant to an organization gaming
license issued under the Illinois Gambling Act, the Board may
charge each applicant a reasonable nonrefundable fee to defray

HB3655 Engrossed - 931 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the costs associated with the background investigation
conducted by the Board. This fee shall be exclusive of any
other fee or fees charged in connection with an application
for and, if applicable, the issuance of, an organization
gaming license. If the costs of the investigation exceed the
amount of the fee charged, the Board shall immediately notify
the applicant of the additional amount owed, payment of which
must be submitted to the Board within 7 days after such
notification. All information, records, interviews, reports,
statements, memoranda, or other data supplied to or used by
the Board in the course of its review or investigation of an
applicant for a license or renewal under this Act shall be
privileged, strictly confidential, and shall be used only for
the purpose of evaluating an applicant for a license or a
renewal. Such information, records, interviews, reports,
statements, memoranda, or other data shall not be admissible
as evidence, nor discoverable, in any action of any kind in any
court or before any tribunal, board, agency, or person, except
for any action deemed necessary by the Board.

offered. The Board shall allocate expeditiously the unreserved
gaming positions to requesting organization gaming licensees
in a manner that maximizes revenue to the State. The Board may
allocate any such unused gaming positions pursuant to an open
and competitive bidding process, as provided under Section 7.5
of this Act. This process shall continue until all unreserved
gaming positions have been purchased. All positions obtained
pursuant to this process and all positions the organization
gaming licensee specified it would operate in its application
must be in operation within 18 months after they were obtained
or the organization gaming licensee forfeits the right to
operate those positions, but is not entitled to a refund of any
fees paid. The Board may, after holding a public hearing,
grant extensions so long as the organization gaming licensee
is working in good faith to make the positions operational.
The extension may be for a period of 6 months. If, after the
period of the extension, the organization gaming licensee has
not made the positions operational, then another public
hearing must be held by the Board before it may grant another
extension.
Unreserved gaming positions retained from and allocated to

HB3655 Engrossed - 970 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
organization gaming licensees by the Board pursuant to this
subsection (f) shall not be allocated to owners licensees
under this Act.
For the purpose of this subsection (f), the unreserved
gaming positions for each organization gaming licensee shall
be the applicable limitation set forth in subsection (e) of
this Section, less the number of reserved gaming positions by
such organization gaming licensee, and the total unreserved
gaming positions shall be the aggregate of the unreserved
gaming positions for all organization gaming licensees.
(g) An organization gaming licensee is authorized to
conduct the following at a racetrack:
(1) slot machine gambling;
(2) video game of chance gambling;
(3) gambling with electronic gambling games as defined
in this Act or defined by the Illinois Gaming Board; and
(4) table games.
(h) Subject to the approval of the Illinois Gaming Board,
an organization gaming licensee may make modification or
additions to any existing buildings and structures to comply
with the requirements of this Act. The Illinois Gaming Board
shall make its decision after consulting with the Illinois
Racing Board. In no case, however, shall the Illinois Gaming
Board approve any modification or addition that alters the
grounds of the organization licensee such that the act of live
racing is an ancillary activity to gaming authorized under

HB3655 Engrossed - 971 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
this Section. Gaming authorized under this Section may take
place in existing structures where inter-track wagering is
conducted at the racetrack or a facility within 300 yards of
the racetrack in accordance with the provisions of this Act
and the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975.
(i) An organization gaming licensee may conduct gaming at
a temporary facility pending the construction of a permanent
facility or the remodeling or relocation of an existing
facility to accommodate gaming participants for up to 24
months after the temporary facility begins to conduct gaming
authorized under this Section. Upon request by an organization
gaming licensee and upon a showing of good cause by the
organization gaming licensee, the Board shall extend the
period during which the licensee may conduct gaming authorized
under this Section at a temporary facility by up to 12 months.
The Board shall make rules concerning the conduct of gaming
authorized under this Section from temporary facilities.
The gaming authorized under this Section may take place in
existing structures where inter-track wagering is conducted at
the racetrack or a facility within 300 yards of the racetrack
in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the Illinois
Horse Racing Act of 1975.
(i-5) Under no circumstances shall an organization gaming
licensee conduct gaming at any State or county fair.
(j) The Illinois Gaming Board must adopt emergency rules
in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative

HB3655 Engrossed - 972 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Procedure Act as necessary to ensure compliance with the
provisions of this amendatory Act of the 101st General
Assembly concerning the conduct of gaming by an organization
gaming licensee. The adoption of emergency rules authorized by
this subsection (j) shall be deemed to be necessary for the
public interest, safety, and welfare.
(k) Each organization gaming licensee who obtains gaming
positions must make a reconciliation payment 3 years after the
date the organization gaming licensee begins operating the
positions in an amount equal to 75% of the difference between
its adjusted gross receipts from gaming authorized under this
Section and amounts paid to its purse accounts pursuant to
item (1) of subsection (b) of Section 56 of the Illinois Horse
Racing Act of 1975 for the 12-month period for which such
difference was the largest, minus an amount equal to the
initial per position fee paid by the organization gaming
licensee. If this calculation results in a negative amount,
then the organization gaming licensee is not entitled to any
reimbursement of fees previously paid. This reconciliation
payment may be made in installments over a period of no more
than 6 years.
All payments by licensees under this subsection (k) shall
be deposited into the Rebuild Illinois Projects Fund.
(l) As soon as practical after a request is made by the
Illinois Gaming Board, to minimize duplicate submissions by
the applicant, the Illinois Racing Board must provide

HB3655 Engrossed - 973 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
information on an applicant for an organization gaming license
to the Illinois Gaming Board.

Sec. 9. Occupational licenses.
(a) The Board may issue an occupational license to an
applicant upon the payment of a non-refundable fee set by the
Board, upon a determination by the Board that the applicant is
eligible for an occupational license and upon payment of an
annual license fee in an amount to be established. To be
eligible for an occupational license, an applicant must:

applicant seeking an occupational license for a non-gaming
function shall be at least 18 years of age;

violation of Article 28 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, or a similar statute of any other

crime described in item (2) of this subsection (a),
involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, except that the

license to a person who has been convicted of a crime

HB3655 Engrossed - 974 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
described in this item (2.5) more than 10 years prior to
his or her application and has not subsequently been
convicted of any other crime;
(3) have demonstrated a level of skill or knowledge
which the Board determines to be necessary in order to
operate gambling aboard a riverboat, in a casino, or at an
organization gaming facility; and
(4) have met standards for the holding of an
occupational license as adopted by rules of the Board.
Such rules shall provide that any person or entity seeking
an occupational license to manage gambling operations
under this Act shall be subject to background inquiries
and further requirements similar to those required of
applicants for an owners license. Furthermore, such rules
shall provide that each such entity shall be permitted to
manage gambling operations for only one licensed owner.
(b) Each application for an occupational license shall be
on forms prescribed by the Board and shall contain all
information required by the Board. The applicant shall set
forth in the application: whether he has been issued prior
gambling related licenses; whether he has been licensed in any
other state under any other name, and, if so, such name and his
age; and whether or not a permit or license issued to him in
any other state has been suspended, restricted or revoked,
and, if so, for what period of time.
(c) Each applicant shall submit with his application, on

HB3655 Engrossed - 975 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
forms provided by the Board, 2 sets of his fingerprints. The
Board shall charge each applicant a fee set by the Illinois
Department of State Police to defray the costs associated with
the search and classification of fingerprints obtained by the
Board with respect to the applicant's application. These fees
shall be paid into the State Police Services Fund.
(d) The Board may in its discretion refuse an occupational
license to any person: (1) who is unqualified to perform the
duties required of such applicant; (2) who fails to disclose
or states falsely any information called for in the
application; (3) who has been found guilty of a violation of
this Act or whose prior gambling related license or
application therefor has been suspended, restricted, revoked
or denied for just cause in any other state; or (4) for any
other just cause.
(e) The Board may suspend, revoke or restrict any
occupational licensee: (1) for violation of any provision of
this Act; (2) for violation of any of the rules and regulations
of the Board; (3) for any cause which, if known to the Board,
would have disqualified the applicant from receiving such
license; or (4) for default in the payment of any obligation or
debt due to the State of Illinois; or (5) for any other just
cause.
(f) A person who knowingly makes a false statement on an
application is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(g) Any license issued pursuant to this Section shall be

HB3655 Engrossed - 976 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
(h) Nothing in this Act shall be interpreted to prohibit a
licensed owner or organization gaming licensee from entering
into an agreement with a public community college or a school
approved under the Private Business and Vocational Schools Act
of 2012 for the training of any occupational licensee. Any
training offered by such a school shall be in accordance with a
written agreement between the licensed owner or organization
gaming licensee and the school.
(i) Any training provided for occupational licensees may
be conducted either at the site of the gambling facility or at
a school with which a licensed owner or organization gaming
licensee has entered into an agreement pursuant to subsection
(h).

Sec. 11. Conduct of gambling. Gambling may be conducted by
licensed owners or licensed managers on behalf of the State
aboard riverboats. Gambling may be conducted by organization
gaming licensees at organization gaming facilities. Gambling
authorized under this Section is subject to the following
standards:
(1) A licensee may conduct riverboat gambling
authorized under this Act regardless of whether it
conducts excursion cruises. A licensee may permit the

HB3655 Engrossed - 977 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
continuous ingress and egress of patrons on a riverboat
not used for excursion cruises for the purpose of
gambling. Excursion cruises shall not exceed 4 hours for a
round trip. However, the Board may grant express approval
for an extended cruise on a case-by-case basis.
(1.5) An owners licensee may conduct gambling
operations authorized under this Act 24 hours a day.
(2) (Blank).
(3) Minimum and maximum wagers on games shall be set
by the licensee.
(4) Agents of the Board and the Illinois Department of
State Police may board and inspect any riverboat, enter
and inspect any portion of a casino, or enter and inspect
any portion of an organization gaming facility at any time
for the purpose of determining whether this Act is being
complied with. Every riverboat, if under way and being
hailed by a law enforcement officer or agent of the Board,
must stop immediately and lay to.
(5) Employees of the Board shall have the right to be
present on the riverboat or in the casino or on adjacent
facilities under the control of the licensee and at the
organization gaming facility under the control of the
organization gaming licensee.
(6) Gambling equipment and supplies customarily used
in conducting gambling must be purchased or leased only
from suppliers licensed for such purpose under this Act.

HB3655 Engrossed - 978 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
The Board may approve the transfer, sale, or lease of
gambling equipment and supplies by a licensed owner from
or to an affiliate of the licensed owner as long as the
gambling equipment and supplies were initially acquired
from a supplier licensed in Illinois.
(7) Persons licensed under this Act shall permit no
form of wagering on gambling games except as permitted by
this Act.
(8) Wagers may be received only from a person present
on a licensed riverboat, in a casino, or at an
organization gaming facility. No person present on a
licensed riverboat, in a casino, or at an organization
gaming facility shall place or attempt to place a wager on
behalf of another person who is not present on the
riverboat, in a casino, or at the organization gaming
facility.
(9) Wagering, including gaming authorized under
Section 7.7, shall not be conducted with money or other
negotiable currency.
(10) A person under age 21 shall not be permitted on an
area of a riverboat or casino where gambling is being
conducted or at an organization gaming facility where
gambling is being conducted, except for a person at least
18 years of age who is an employee of the riverboat or
casino gambling operation or gaming operation. No employee
under age 21 shall perform any function involved in

HB3655 Engrossed - 979 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
gambling by the patrons. No person under age 21 shall be
permitted to make a wager under this Act, and any winnings
that are a result of a wager by a person under age 21,
whether or not paid by a licensee, shall be treated as
winnings for the privilege tax purposes, confiscated, and
forfeited to the State and deposited into the Education
Assistance Fund.
(11) Gambling excursion cruises are permitted only
when the waterway for which the riverboat is licensed is
navigable, as determined by the Board in consultation with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paragraph (11) does
not limit the ability of a licensee to conduct gambling
authorized under this Act when gambling excursion cruises
are not permitted.
(12) All tickets, chips, or electronic cards used to
make wagers must be purchased (i) from a licensed owner or
manager, in the case of a riverboat, either aboard a
riverboat or at an onshore facility which has been
approved by the Board and which is located where the
riverboat docks, (ii) in the case of a casino, from a
licensed owner at the casino, or (iii) from an
organization gaming licensee at the organization gaming
facility. The tickets, chips, or electronic cards may be
purchased by means of an agreement under which the owner
or manager extends credit to the patron. Such tickets,
chips, or electronic cards may be used while aboard the

HB3655 Engrossed - 980 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
riverboat, in the casino, or at the organization gaming
facility only for the purpose of making wagers on gambling
games.
(13) Notwithstanding any other Section of this Act, in
addition to the other licenses authorized under this Act,
the Board may issue special event licenses allowing
persons who are not otherwise licensed to conduct
riverboat gambling to conduct such gambling on a specified
date or series of dates. Riverboat gambling under such a
license may take place on a riverboat not normally used
for riverboat gambling. The Board shall establish
standards, fees and fines for, and limitations upon, such
licenses, which may differ from the standards, fees, fines
and limitations otherwise applicable under this Act. All
such fees shall be deposited into the State Gaming Fund.
All such fines shall be deposited into the Education
Assistance Fund, created by Public Act 86-0018, of the
State of Illinois.
(14) In addition to the above, gambling must be
conducted in accordance with all rules adopted by the
Board.

For the imposition of the privilege tax in this subsection
(a-5), amounts paid pursuant to item (1) of subsection (b) of
Section 56 of the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 shall not
be included in the determination of adjusted gross receipts.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (a-5),
for the first 10 years that the privilege tax is imposed under
this subsection (a-5), the privilege tax shall be imposed on
the modified annual adjusted gross receipts of a riverboat or
casino conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
Louis, unless:

HB3655 Engrossed - 990 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) the riverboat or casino fails to employ at least
450 people;
(2) the riverboat or casino fails to maintain
operations in a manner consistent with this Act or is not a
viable riverboat or casino subject to the approval of the
Board; or
(3) the owners licensee is not an entity in which
employees participate in an employee stock ownership plan.
As used in this subsection (a-5), "modified annual
adjusted gross receipts" means:
(A) for calendar year 2020, the annual adjusted gross
receipts for the current year minus the difference between
an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
receipts for 2018;
(B) for calendar year 2021, the annual adjusted gross
receipts for the current year minus the difference between
an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross
receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross
receipts for 2019; and

difference between an amount equal to the average annual
adjusted gross receipts from a riverboat or casino
conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
Louis for 3 years preceding the current year and the
annual adjusted gross receipts for the immediately
preceding year.
(a-6) From June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
101-31) until June 30, 2023, an owners licensee that conducted
gambling operations prior to January 1, 2011 shall receive a
dollar-for-dollar credit against the tax imposed under this
Section for any renovation or construction costs paid by the
owners licensee, but in no event shall the credit exceed
$2,000,000.
Additionally, from June 28, 2019 (the effective date of
Public Act 101-31) until December 31, 2022, an owners licensee
that (i) is located within 15 miles of the Missouri border, and
(ii) has at least 3 riverboats, casinos, or their equivalent
within a 45-mile radius, may be authorized to relocate to a new
location with the approval of both the unit of local
government designated as the home dock and the Board, so long
as the new location is within the same unit of local government
and no more than 3 miles away from its original location. Such
owners licensee shall receive a credit against the tax imposed
under this Section equal to 8% of the total project costs, as
approved by the Board, for any renovation or construction
costs paid by the owners licensee for the construction of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 992 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
new facility, provided that the new facility is operational by
July 1, 2022. In determining whether or not to approve a
relocation, the Board must consider the extent to which the
relocation will diminish the gaming revenues received by other
Illinois gaming facilities.
(a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through
the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed
pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an
owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross
receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the
total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is
required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the
extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts
in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross
receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax
reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation
imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be
reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund
from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but
instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against
any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar
year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection
(a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall
occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment
year.

HB3655 Engrossed - 993 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
If an owners licensee that conducted gambling operations
prior to January 1, 2019 expands its riverboat or casino,
including, but not limited to, with respect to its gaming
floor, additional non-gaming amenities such as restaurants,
bars, and hotels and other additional facilities, and incurs
construction and other costs related to such expansion from
June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until
June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of
Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any
such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by
the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be
extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall
increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each
calendar year until and including the final adjustment year.
No further modifications to the final adjustment year or
annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is
incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion
so that the final adjustment year shall not extend beyond the
9th calendar year after the initial adjustment year, not
including the initial adjustment year, and the annual
adjustment cap shall not exceed 4% of adjusted gross receipts
in a particular calendar year. Construction and other costs
related to expansion shall include all project related costs,
including, but not limited to, all hard and soft costs,
financing costs, on or off-site ground, road or utility work,
cost of gaming equipment and all other personal property,

costs.
To be eligible for the tax credits in subsection (a-6),
all construction contracts shall include a requirement that
the contractor enter into a project labor agreement with the
building and construction trades council with geographic
jurisdiction of the location of the proposed gaming facility.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(a-7), this subsection (a-7) does not apply to an owners
licensee unless such owners licensee spends at least
$15,000,000 on construction and other costs related to its
expansion, excluding the initial fees assessed for each
incremental gaming position.

Section 735. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
changing Sections 8A-7, 9A-11.5, 10-3.4, and 12-4.25 as
follows:
(305 ILCS 5/8A-7) (from Ch. 23, par. 8A-7)
Sec. 8A-7. Civil Remedies. (a) A person who receives
financial aid by means of a false statement, willful
misrepresentation or by his failure to notify the county

HB3655 Engrossed - 1033 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
department or local governmental unit, as the case may be, of a
change in his status as required by Sections 11-18 and 11-19,
for the purpose of preventing the denial, cancellation or
suspension of his grant, or a variation in the amount thereof,
or by other fraudulent device, or a person who knowingly aids
or abets any person in obtaining financial aid for which he is
not eligible, shall be answerable to the county department or
the local governmental unit, as the case may be, for refunding
the entire amount of aid received. If the refund is not made,
it shall be recoverable in a civil action from the person who
received the aid, or from anyone who willfully aided such
person to obtain the aid. If an act which would be unlawful
under Section 8A-2 is proven, the court may as a penalty assess
an additional sum of money, not to exceed the entire amount of
aid provided, against the recipient or against any person who
willfully aided the recipient. If assessed, the penalty shall
be included in any judgment entered for the aid received, and
paid to the county department or the local governmental unit,
as the case may be. Upon entry of the judgment a lien shall
attach to all property and assets of such person until the
judgment is satisfied.
(b) Any person, firm, corporation, association, agency,
institution or other legal entity, other than an individual
recipient, that willfully, by means of a false statement or
representation, or by concealment of any material fact or by
other fraudulent scheme or device on behalf of himself or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1034 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
others, obtains or attempts to obtain benefits or payments
under this Code to which he or it is not entitled, or in a
greater amount than that to which he or it is entitled, shall
be liable for repayment of any excess benefits or payments
received and, in addition to any other penalties provided by
law, civil penalties consisting of (1) the interest on the
amount of excess benefits or payments at the maximum legal
rate in effect on the date the payment was made to such person,
firm, corporation, association, agency, institution or other
legal entity for the period from the date upon which payment
was made to the date upon which repayment is made to the State,
(2) an amount not to exceed 3 times the amount of such excess
benefits or payments, and (3) the sum of $2,000 for each
excessive claim for benefits or payments. Upon entry of a
judgment for repayment of any excess benefits or payments, or
for any civil penalties assessed by the court, a lien shall
attach to all property and assets of such person, firm,
corporation, association, agency, institution or other legal
entity until the judgment is satisfied.
(c) Civil recoveries provided for in this Section may be
recoverable in court proceedings initiated by the Attorney
General or, in actions involving a local governmental unit, by
the State's Attorney.
(d) Any person who commits the offense of vendor fraud or
recipient fraud as defined in Section 8A-2 and Section 8A-3 of
this Article shall forfeit, according to the provisions of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1035 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
this subsection, any monies, profits or proceeds, and any
interest or property which the sentencing court determines he
has acquired or maintained, directly or indirectly, in whole
or in part as a result of such offense. Such person shall also
forfeit any interest in, securities of, claim against, or
contractual right of any kind which affords him a source of
influence over, any enterprise which he has established,
operated, controlled, conducted, or participated in
conducting, where his relationship to or connection with any
such thing or activity directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, is traceable to any thing or benefit which he has
obtained or acquired through vendor fraud or recipient fraud.
Proceedings instituted pursuant to this subsection shall
be subject to and conducted in accordance with the following
procedures:
(1) The sentencing court shall, upon petition by the
Attorney General or State's Attorney at any time following
sentencing, conduct a hearing to determine whether any
property or property interest is subject to forfeiture under
this subsection. At the forfeiture hearing the People shall
have the burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the property or property interests are subject
to such forfeiture.
(2) In any action brought by the People of the State of
Illinois under this Section, in which any restraining order,
injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection

HB3655 Engrossed - 1036 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this
subsection is sought, the circuit court presiding over the
trial of the person charged with recipient fraud or vendor
fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 of this Article shall
first determine whether there is probable cause to believe
that the person so charged has committed the offense of
recipient fraud or vendor fraud and whether the property or
interest is subject to forfeiture under this subsection. To
make such a determination, prior to entering any such order,
the court shall conduct a hearing without a jury, at which the
People shall establish that there is (i) probable cause that
the person so charged has committed the offense of recipient
fraud or vendor fraud and (ii) probable cause that any
property or interest may be subject to forfeiture pursuant to
this subsection. Such hearing may be conducted simultaneously
with a preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by
information or complaint, or by motion of the People at any
stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of
probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing
of an information charging the offense of recipient fraud or
vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 or the return
of an indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of
recipient fraud or vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or
8A-3 of this Article as sufficient evidence of probable cause
as provided in item (i) above. Upon such a finding, the circuit
court shall enter such restraining order, injunction or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1037 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
prohibition, or shall take such other action in connection
with any such property or other interest subject to forfeiture
under this Act as is necessary to insure that such property is
not removed from the jurisdiction of the court, concealed,
destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the owner of that
property or interest prior to a forfeiture hearing under this
subsection. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall
file a certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or
other prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of
titles of each county where any such property of the defendant
may be located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
prohibition shall affect the rights of any bonafide purchaser,
mortgagee, judgement creditor or other lien holder arising
prior to the date of such filing. The court may, at any time,
upon verified petition by the defendant, conduct a hearing to
determine whether all or portions of any such property or
interest which the court previously determined to be subject
to forfeiture or subject to any restraining order, injunction,
or prohibition or other action, should be released. The court
may in its discretion release such property to the defendant
for good cause shown.
(3) Upon conviction of a person under this Article, the
court shall authorize the Director of the Illinois Department
of State Police to seize all property or other interest
declared forfeited under this subsection upon such terms and
conditions as the court shall deem proper.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1038 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(4) The Director of the Illinois Department of State
Police is authorized to sell all property forfeited and seized
pursuant to this subsection, unless such property is required
by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the public. After the
deduction of all requisite expenses of administration and
sale, the court shall order the Director to distribute to the
Illinois Department an amount from the proceeds of the
forfeited property, or monies forfeited or seized, which will
satisfy any unsatisfied court order of restitution entered
pursuant to a conviction under this Article. If the proceeds
are less than the amount necessary to satisfy the order of
restitution, the Director shall distribute to the Illinois
Department the entire amount of the remaining proceeds. The
Director shall distribute any remaining proceeds of such sale,
along with any monies forfeited or seized, in accordance with
the following schedules:
(a) 25% shall be distributed to the unit of local
government whose officers or employees conducted the
investigation into recipient fraud or vendor fraud and caused
the arrest or arrests and prosecution leading to the
forfeiture. Amounts distributed to units of local government
shall be used solely for enforcement matters relating to
detection, investigation or prosecution of recipient fraud or
vendor fraud as defined in Section 8A-2 or 8A-3 of this
Article. Where the investigation, arrest or arrests leading to
the prosecution and forfeiture is undertaken solely by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1039 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Illinois Department of State Police, the portion provided
hereunder shall be paid into the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse
Prevention Fund, which is hereby created in the State
treasury. Monies from this fund shall be used by the Illinois
Department of State Police for the furtherance of enforcement
matters relating to detection, investigation or prosecution of
recipient fraud or vendor fraud. Monies directed to this fund
shall be used in addition to, and not as a substitute for,
funds annually appropriated to the Illinois Department of
State Police for medicaid fraud enforcement.
(b) 25% shall be distributed to the county in which the
prosecution and petition for forfeiture resulting in the
forfeiture was instituted, and deposited in a special fund in
the county treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney
for use solely in enforcement matters relating to detection,
investigation or prosecution of recipient fraud or vendor
fraud; however, if the Attorney General brought the
prosecution resulting in the forfeiture, the portion provided
hereunder shall be paid into the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse
Prevention Fund, to be used by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit
of the Illinois Department of State Police for enforcement
matters relating to detection, investigation or prosecution of
recipient fraud or vendor fraud. Where the Attorney General
and a State's Attorney have jointly participated in any
portion of the proceedings, 12.5% shall be distributed to the
county in which the prosecution resulting in the forfeiture

HB3655 Engrossed - 1040 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
was instituted, and used as specified herein, and 12.5% shall
be paid into the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Prevention Fund, and
used as specified herein.
(c) 50% shall be transmitted to the State Treasurer for
deposit in the General Revenue Fund.

condition of eligibility to participate in the child care
assistance program under this Code, authorize in writing on a
form prescribed by the Department of Children and Family
Services, periodic investigations of the Central Register, as
defined in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, to
ascertain if the child care provider has been determined to be
a perpetrator in an indicated report of child abuse or
neglect. The Department of Children and Family Services shall
conduct an investigation of the Central Register at the
request of the Department.
(b) Any child care provider, other than a relative of the
child, receiving funds from the child care assistance program
under this Code who is not required to be licensed under the
Child Care Act of 1969 shall, as a condition of eligibility to

HB3655 Engrossed - 1041 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
participate in the child care assistance program under this
Code, authorize in writing a State and Federal Bureau of
Investigation fingerprint-based criminal history record check
to determine if the child care provider has ever been
convicted of a crime with respect to which the conviction has
not been overturned and the criminal records have not been
sealed or expunged. Upon this authorization, the Department
shall request and receive information and assistance from any
federal or State governmental agency as part of the authorized
criminal history record check. The Illinois Department of
State Police shall provide information concerning any
conviction that has not been overturned and with respect to
which the criminal records have not been sealed or expunged,
whether the conviction occurred before or on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly, of a child care provider upon the request of the
Department when the request is made in the form and manner
required by the Illinois Department of State Police. The
Illinois Department of State Police shall charge a fee not to
exceed the cost of processing the criminal history record
check. The fee is to be deposited into the State Police
Services Fund. Any information concerning convictions that
have not been overturned and with respect to which the
criminal records have not been sealed or expunged obtained by
the Department is confidential and may not be transmitted (i)
outside the Department except as required in this Section or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1042 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(ii) to anyone within the Department except as needed for the
purposes of determining participation in the child care
assistance program. A copy of the criminal history record
check obtained from the Illinois Department of State Police
shall be provided to the unlicensed child care provider.
(c) The Department shall by rule set standards for
determining when to disqualify an unlicensed child care
provider for payment because (i) there is an indicated finding
against the provider based on the results of the Central
Register search or (ii) there is a disqualifying criminal
charge pending against the provider or the provider has a
disqualifying criminal conviction that has not been overturned
and with respect to which the criminal records have not been
expunged or sealed based on the results of the
fingerprint-based Illinois Department of State Police and
Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history record check.
In determining whether to disqualify an unlicensed child care
provider for payment under this subsection, the Department
shall consider the nature and gravity of any offense or
offenses; the time that has passed since the offense or
offenses or the completion of the criminal sentence or both;
and the relationship of the offense or offenses to the
responsibilities of the child care provider.

Rules adopted by the Illinois Department to implement
these provisions shall specifically include a definition of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1055 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the term "management responsibility" as used in this Section.
Such definition shall include, but not be limited to, typical
job titles, and duties and descriptions which will be
considered as within the definition of individuals with
management responsibility for a provider.
A vendor or a prior vendor who has been terminated,
excluded, or suspended from the medical assistance program, or
from another state or federal medical assistance or health
care program, and any individual currently or previously
barred from the medical assistance program, or from another
state or federal medical assistance or health care program, as
a result of being an officer or a person owning, directly or
indirectly, 5% or more of the shares of stock or other
evidences of ownership in a corporate or limited liability
company vendor during the time of any conduct which served as
the basis for that vendor's termination, suspension, or

condition of enrollment or participation in the medical
assistance program. The Illinois Department shall establish,
by rule, the criteria and requirements for determining when a
surety bond must be posted and the value of the bond.

company vendor during the time of any conduct which served as
the basis for the debt, may be required to post a surety bond
as part of a condition of enrollment or participation in the
medical assistance program. The Illinois Department shall
establish, by rule, the criteria and requirements for
determining when a surety bond must be posted and the value of
the bond.
(D) If a vendor has been suspended from the medical
assistance program under Article V of the Code, the Director
may require that such vendor correct any deficiencies which
served as the basis for the suspension. The Director shall
specify in the suspension order a specific period of time,
which shall not exceed one year from the date of the order,
during which a suspended vendor shall not be eligible to
participate. At the conclusion of the period of suspension the
Director shall reinstate such vendor, unless he finds that
such vendor has not corrected deficiencies upon which the
suspension was based.
If a vendor has been terminated, suspended, or excluded
from the medical assistance program under Article V, such
vendor shall be barred from participation for at least one
year, except that if a vendor has been terminated, suspended,
or excluded based on a conviction of a violation of Article
VIIIA or a conviction of a felony based on fraud or a willful

HB3655 Engrossed - 1057 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
misrepresentation related to (i) the medical assistance
program under Article V, (ii) a federal or another state's
medical assistance or health care program, or (iii) the

barred from participation for 5 years or for the length of the
vendor's sentence for that conviction, whichever is longer. At
the end of one year a vendor who has been terminated,
suspended, or excluded may apply for reinstatement to the

vendor meets the requirements for eligibility under this Code.
If such vendor is deemed not eligible for reinstatement, he
shall be barred from again applying for reinstatement for one
year from the date his application for reinstatement is
denied.
A vendor whose termination, suspension, or exclusion from
participation in the Illinois medical assistance program under
Article V was based solely on an action by a governmental
entity other than the Illinois Department may, upon
reinstatement by that governmental entity or upon reversal of
the termination, suspension, or exclusion, apply for
rescission of the termination, suspension, or exclusion from
participation in the Illinois medical assistance program. Upon
proper application for rescission, the vendor may be deemed
eligible by the Director if the vendor meets the requirements
for eligibility under this Code.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1058 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
If a vendor has been terminated, suspended, or excluded
and reinstated to the medical assistance program under Article
V and the vendor is terminated, suspended, or excluded a
second or subsequent time from the medical assistance program,
the vendor shall be barred from participation for at least 2
years, except that if a vendor has been terminated, suspended,
or excluded a second time based on a conviction of a violation
of Article VIIIA or a conviction of a felony based on fraud or
a willful misrepresentation related to (i) the medical
assistance program under Article V, (ii) a federal or another
state's medical assistance or health care program, or (iii)
the provision of health care services, then the vendor shall
be barred from participation for life. At the end of 2 years, a
vendor who has been terminated, suspended, or excluded may
apply for reinstatement to the program. Upon application to be
reinstated, the vendor may be deemed eligible if the vendor
meets the requirements for eligibility under this Code. If the
vendor is deemed not eligible for reinstatement, the vendor
shall be barred from again applying for reinstatement for 2
years from the date the vendor's application for reinstatement
is denied.

may suspend or deny payment, in whole or in part, if such

HB3655 Engrossed - 1059 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
payment would be improper or erroneous or would otherwise
result in overpayment.
(1) Payments may be suspended, denied, or recovered
from a vendor or alternate payee: (i) for services
rendered in violation of the Illinois Department's
provider notices, statutes, rules, and regulations; (ii)
for services rendered in violation of the terms and

available the medical records of patients for whom
services are not reimbursed under this Code or to provide

state or federal medical assistance or health care
program.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a
vendor has the same taxpayer identification number
(assigned under Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986) as is assigned to a vendor with past-due
financial obligations to the Illinois Department, the
Illinois Department may make any necessary adjustments to
payments to that vendor in order to satisfy any past-due
obligations, regardless of whether the vendor is assigned
a different billing number under the medical assistance
program.

under which payments will not be withheld under this Section.
Payments may be denied for bills submitted with service dates
occurring during the pendency of a proceeding, after a final
decision has been rendered, or after the conclusion of any
administrative appeal, where the final administrative decision
is to terminate, exclude, or suspend eligibility to
participate in the medical assistance program. The Illinois
Department shall state by rule with as much specificity as
practicable the conditions under which payments will not be
denied for such bills. The Illinois Department shall state by
rule a process and criteria by which a vendor or alternate
payee may request full or partial release of payments withheld
under this subsection. The Department must complete a
proceeding under this Section in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding recovery allowed under subsection (E) or
this subsection (F), the Illinois Department may withhold
payments to any vendor or alternate payee who is not properly
licensed, certified, or in compliance with State or federal

If the Illinois Department withholds payments to a vendor

HB3655 Engrossed - 1071 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or alternate payee under this subsection, the Department shall
not release those payments to the vendor or alternate payee
while any criminal proceeding related to the indictment or
charge is pending unless the Department determines that there
is good cause to release the payments before completion of the
proceeding. If the indictment or charge results in the
individual's conviction, the Illinois Department shall retain
all withheld payments, which shall be considered forfeited to
the Department. If the indictment or charge does not result in
the individual's conviction, the Illinois Department shall
release to the vendor or alternate payee all withheld
payments.
(F-10) If the Illinois Department establishes that the
vendor or alternate payee owes a debt to the Illinois
Department, and the vendor or alternate payee subsequently
fails to pay or make satisfactory payment arrangements with
the Illinois Department for the debt owed, the Illinois

this State to recover the debt, including, but not limited to,
wage garnishment or the filing of claims or liens against the
vendor or alternate payee.

all remedies available under the law.
(2) After expiration of the period in which judicial
review under the Illinois Administrative Review Law may be
sought for a final administrative decision, unless stayed
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the findings,
decision, and order of the Director may be enforced in the
same manner as a judgment entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(3) In any case in which any person or entity has
failed to comply with a judgment ordering or imposing any
fine or other sanction, any expenses incurred by the
Illinois Department to enforce the judgment, including,
but not limited to, attorney's fees, court costs, and
costs related to property demolition or foreclosure, after
they are fixed by a court of competent jurisdiction or the
Director, shall be a debt due and owing the State and may
be collected in accordance with applicable law. Prior to
any expenses being fixed by a final administrative
decision pursuant to this subsection (F-15), the Illinois
Department shall provide notice to the individual or
entity that states that the individual or entity shall
appear at a hearing before the administrative hearing
officer to determine whether the individual or entity has

HB3655 Engrossed - 1073 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the date for such a hearing, which shall not be less than 7
days from the date that notice is served. If notice is
served by mail, the 7-day period shall begin to run on the
date that the notice was deposited in the mail.
(4) Upon being recorded in the manner required by
Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure or by the
Uniform Commercial Code, a lien shall be imposed on the
real estate or personal estate, or both, of the individual
or entity in the amount of any debt due and owing the State
under this Section. The lien may be enforced in the same
manner as a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
A lien shall attach to all property and assets of such
person, firm, corporation, association, agency,
institution, or other legal entity until the judgment is
satisfied.
(5) The Director may set aside any judgment entered by
default and set a new hearing date upon a petition filed at
any time (i) if the petitioner's failure to appear at the
hearing was for good cause, or (ii) if the petitioner
established that the Department did not provide proper
service of process. If any judgment is set aside pursuant
to this paragraph (5), the hearing officer shall have
authority to enter an order extinguishing any lien which
has been recorded for any debt due and owing the Illinois
Department as a result of the vacated default judgment.
(G) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, as

HB3655 Engrossed - 1074 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
now or hereafter amended, and the rules adopted pursuant
thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the
judicial review of final administrative decisions of the
Illinois Department under this Section. The term
"administrative decision" is defined as in Section 3-101 of
the Code of Civil Procedure.
(G-5) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
harm.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Section, the Department may terminate, suspend, or exclude
vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or harm
from participation in the medical assistance program prior
to an evidentiary hearing but after reasonable notice and
opportunity to respond as established by the Department by
rule.
(2) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
harm shall submit to a fingerprint-based criminal
background check on current and future information
available in the State system and current information
available through the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
system by submitting all necessary fees and information in
the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department
of State Police. The following individuals shall be
subject to the check:
(A) In the case of a vendor that is a corporation,
every shareholder who owns, directly or indirectly, 5%

HB3655 Engrossed - 1075 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation.
(B) In the case of a vendor that is a partnership,
every partner.
(C) In the case of a vendor that is a sole
proprietorship, the sole proprietor.
(D) Each officer or manager of the vendor.
Each such vendor shall be responsible for payment of
the cost of the criminal background check.
(3) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
harm may be required to post a surety bond. The Department
shall establish, by rule, the criteria and requirements
for determining when a surety bond must be posted and the
value of the bond.
(4) The Department, or its agents, may refuse to
accept requests for authorization from specific vendors
who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or harm, including
prior-approval and post-approval requests, if:
(A) the Department has initiated a notice of
termination, suspension, or exclusion of the vendor
from participation in the medical assistance program;
or
(B) the Department has issued notification of its
withholding of payments pursuant to subsection (F-5)
of this Section; or
(C) the Department has issued a notification of
its withholding of payments due to reliable evidence

HB3655 Engrossed - 1076 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of fraud or willful misrepresentation pending
investigation.
(5) As used in this subsection, the following terms
are defined as follows:
(A) "Fraud" means an intentional deception or
misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge
that the deception could result in some unauthorized
benefit to himself or herself or some other person. It
includes any act that constitutes fraud under
applicable federal or State law.
(B) "Abuse" means provider practices that are
inconsistent with sound fiscal, business, or medical
practices and that result in an unnecessary cost to
the medical assistance program or in reimbursement for
services that are not medically necessary or that fail
to meet professionally recognized standards for health
care. It also includes recipient practices that result
in unnecessary cost to the medical assistance program.
Abuse does not include diagnostic or therapeutic
measures conducted primarily as a safeguard against
possible vendor liability.
(C) "Waste" means the unintentional misuse of
medical assistance resources, resulting in unnecessary
cost to the medical assistance program. Waste does not
include diagnostic or therapeutic measures conducted
primarily as a safeguard against possible vendor

HB3655 Engrossed - 1077 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
liability.
(D) "Harm" means physical, mental, or monetary
damage to recipients or to the medical assistance
program.
(G-6) The Illinois Department, upon making a determination
based upon information in the possession of the Illinois
Department that continuation of participation in the medical
assistance program by a vendor would constitute an immediate
danger to the public, may immediately suspend such vendor's
participation in the medical assistance program without a
hearing. In instances in which the Illinois Department
immediately suspends the medical assistance program
participation of a vendor under this Section, a hearing upon
the vendor's participation must be convened by the Illinois
Department within 15 days after such suspension and completed
without appreciable delay. Such hearing shall be held to
determine whether to recommend to the Director that the
vendor's medical assistance program participation be denied,
terminated, suspended, placed on provisional status, or
reinstated. In the hearing, any evidence relevant to the
vendor constituting an immediate danger to the public may be
introduced against such vendor; provided, however, that the
vendor, or his or her counsel, shall have the opportunity to
discredit, impeach, and submit evidence rebutting such
evidence.
(H) Nothing contained in this Code shall in any way limit

HB3655 Engrossed - 1078 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or otherwise impair the authority or power of any State agency
responsible for licensing of vendors.
(I) Based on a finding of noncompliance on the part of a
nursing home with any requirement for certification under
Title XVIII or XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec.
1395 et seq. or 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1396 et seq.), the Illinois
Department may impose one or more of the following remedies
after notice to the facility:
(1) Termination of the provider agreement.
(2) Temporary management.
(3) Denial of payment for new admissions.
(4) Civil money penalties.
(5) Closure of the facility in emergency situations or
transfer of residents, or both.
(6) State monitoring.
(7) Denial of all payments when the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services has imposed this sanction.
The Illinois Department shall by rule establish criteria
governing continued payments to a nursing facility subsequent
to termination of the facility's provider agreement if, in the
sole discretion of the Illinois Department, circumstances
affecting the health, safety, and welfare of the facility's
residents require those continued payments. The Illinois
Department may condition those continued payments on the
appointment of temporary management, sale of the facility to
new owners or operators, or other arrangements that the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1079 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Illinois Department determines best serve the needs of the
facility's residents.
Except in the case of a facility that has a right to a
hearing on the finding of noncompliance before an agency of
the federal government, a facility may request a hearing
before a State agency on any finding of noncompliance within
60 days after the notice of the intent to impose a remedy.
Except in the case of civil money penalties, a request for a
hearing shall not delay imposition of the penalty. The choice
of remedies is not appealable at a hearing. The level of
noncompliance may be challenged only in the case of a civil
money penalty. The Illinois Department shall provide by rule
for the State agency that will conduct the evidentiary
hearings.
The Illinois Department may collect interest on unpaid
civil money penalties.
The Illinois Department may adopt all rules necessary to
implement this subsection (I).
(J) The Illinois Department, by rule, may permit
individual practitioners to designate that Department payments
that may be due the practitioner be made to an alternate payee
or alternate payees.
(a) Such alternate payee or alternate payees shall be
required to register as an alternate payee in the Medical
Assistance Program with the Illinois Department.
(b) If a practitioner designates an alternate payee,

HB3655 Engrossed - 1080 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the alternate payee and practitioner shall be jointly and
severally liable to the Department for payments made to
the alternate payee. Pursuant to subsection (E) of this
Section, any Department action to suspend or deny payment
or recover money or overpayments from an alternate payee
shall be subject to an administrative hearing.
(c) Registration as an alternate payee or alternate
payees in the Illinois Medical Assistance Program shall be
conditional. At any time, the Illinois Department may deny
or cancel any alternate payee's registration in the
Illinois Medical Assistance Program without cause. Any
such denial or cancellation is not subject to an
administrative hearing.
(d) The Illinois Department may seek a revocation of
any alternate payee, and all owners, officers, and
individuals with management responsibility for such
alternate payee shall be permanently prohibited from
participating as an owner, an officer, or an individual
with management responsibility with an alternate payee in
the Illinois Medical Assistance Program, if after
reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing the
Illinois Department finds that:
(1) the alternate payee is not complying with the
Department's policy or rules and regulations, or with
the terms and conditions prescribed by the Illinois
Department in its alternate payee registration

HB3655 Engrossed - 1081 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

termination, suspension, or exclusion or alternate
payee's revocation; or
(6) the alternate payee, a person with management

vendor or alternate payee that is a partner's interest
in a vendor or alternate payee, or ownership of 5% or
more of the shares of stock or other evidences of
ownership in a corporate vendor or alternate payee)
has been transferred by an individual who is
terminated, suspended, or excluded or barred from
participating as a vendor or is prohibited or revoked
as an alternate payee to the individual's spouse,
child, brother, sister, parent, grandparent,
grandchild, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, cousin, or

(K) The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family
Services may withhold payments, in whole or in part, to a
provider or alternate payee where there is credible evidence,
received from State or federal law enforcement or federal
oversight agencies or from the results of a preliminary
Department audit, that the circumstances giving rise to the
need for a withholding of payments may involve fraud or
willful misrepresentation under the Illinois Medical
Assistance program. The Department shall by rule define what
constitutes "credible" evidence for purposes of this
subsection. The Department may withhold payments without first
notifying the provider or alternate payee of its intention to
withhold such payments. A provider or alternate payee may

HB3655 Engrossed - 1086 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
request a reconsideration of payment withholding, and the
Department must grant such a request. The Department shall
state by rule a process and criteria by which a provider or
alternate payee may request full or partial release of
payments withheld under this subsection. This request may be
made at any time after the Department first withholds such
payments.
(a) The Illinois Department must send notice of its
withholding of program payments within 5 days of taking
such action. The notice must set forth the general
allegations as to the nature of the withholding action,
but need not disclose any specific information concerning
its ongoing investigation. The notice must do all of the
following:
(1) State that payments are being withheld in
accordance with this subsection.
(2) State that the withholding is for a temporary
period, as stated in paragraph (b) of this subsection,
and cite the circumstances under which withholding
will be terminated.
(3) Specify, when appropriate, which type or types
of Medicaid claims withholding is effective.
(4) Inform the provider or alternate payee of the
right to submit written evidence for reconsideration
of the withholding by the Illinois Department.
(5) Inform the provider or alternate payee that a

HB3655 Engrossed - 1087 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
written request may be made to the Illinois Department
for full or partial release of withheld payments and
that such requests may be made at any time after the
Department first withholds such payments.
(b) All withholding-of-payment actions under this
subsection shall be temporary and shall not continue after
any of the following:
(1) The Illinois Department or the prosecuting
authorities determine that there is insufficient
evidence of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the
provider or alternate payee.
(2) Legal proceedings related to the provider's or
alternate payee's alleged fraud, willful
misrepresentation, violations of this Act, or
violations of the Illinois Department's administrative
rules are completed.
(3) The withholding of payments for a period of 3
years.
(c) The Illinois Department may adopt all rules
necessary to implement this subsection (K).
(K-5) The Illinois Department may withhold payments, in
whole or in part, to a provider or alternate payee upon
initiation of an audit, quality of care review, investigation
when there is a credible allegation of fraud, or the provider
or alternate payee demonstrating a clear failure to cooperate
with the Illinois Department such that the circumstances give

HB3655 Engrossed - 1088 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
rise to the need for a withholding of payments. As used in this
subsection, "credible allegation" is defined to include an
allegation from any source, including, but not limited to,
fraud hotline complaints, claims data mining, patterns
identified through provider audits, civil actions filed under
the Illinois False Claims Act, and law enforcement
investigations. An allegation is considered to be credible
when it has indicia of reliability. The Illinois Department
may withhold payments without first notifying the provider or
alternate payee of its intention to withhold such payments. A
provider or alternate payee may request a hearing or a
reconsideration of payment withholding, and the Illinois
Department must grant such a request. The Illinois Department
shall state by rule a process and criteria by which a provider
or alternate payee may request a hearing or a reconsideration
for the full or partial release of payments withheld under
this subsection. This request may be made at any time after the
Illinois Department first withholds such payments.
(a) The Illinois Department must send notice of its
withholding of program payments within 5 days of taking
such action. The notice must set forth the general
allegations as to the nature of the withholding action but
need not disclose any specific information concerning its
ongoing investigation. The notice must do all of the
following:
(1) State that payments are being withheld in

HB3655 Engrossed - 1089 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
accordance with this subsection.
(2) State that the withholding is for a temporary
period, as stated in paragraph (b) of this subsection,
and cite the circumstances under which withholding
will be terminated.
(3) Specify, when appropriate, which type or types
of claims are withheld.
(4) Inform the provider or alternate payee of the
right to request a hearing or a reconsideration of the
withholding by the Illinois Department, including the
ability to submit written evidence.
(5) Inform the provider or alternate payee that a
written request may be made to the Illinois Department
for a hearing or a reconsideration for the full or
partial release of withheld payments and that such
requests may be made at any time after the Illinois
Department first withholds such payments.
(b) All withholding of payment actions under this
subsection shall be temporary and shall not continue after
any of the following:
(1) The Illinois Department determines that there
is insufficient evidence of fraud, or the provider or
alternate payee demonstrates clear cooperation with
the Illinois Department, as determined by the Illinois
Department, such that the circumstances do not give
rise to the need for withholding of payments; or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1090 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(2) The withholding of payments has lasted for a
period in excess of 3 years.
(c) The Illinois Department may adopt all rules
necessary to implement this subsection (K-5).
(L) The Illinois Department shall establish a protocol to
enable health care providers to disclose an actual or
potential violation of this Section pursuant to a
self-referral disclosure protocol, referred to in this
subsection as "the protocol". The protocol shall include
direction for health care providers on a specific person,
official, or office to whom such disclosures shall be made.
The Illinois Department shall post information on the protocol
on the Illinois Department's public website. The Illinois
Department may adopt rules necessary to implement this
subsection (L). In addition to other factors that the Illinois
Department finds appropriate, the Illinois Department may
consider a health care provider's timely use or failure to use
the protocol in considering the provider's failure to comply
with this Code.
(M) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the
Illinois Department, at its discretion, may exempt an entity
licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the ID/DD Community
Care Act, or the MC/DD Act from the provisions of subsections
(A-15), (B), and (C) of this Section if the licensed entity is
in receivership.

management of housing projects an Authority shall at all times
observe the following duties with respect to rentals and
tenant selection:
(a) It shall not accept any person as a tenant in any
dwelling in a housing project if the persons who would occupy
the dwelling have an aggregate annual income which equals or
exceeds the amount which the Authority determines (which
determination shall be conclusive) to be necessary in order to
enable such persons to secure safe, sanitary and uncongested
dwelling accommodations within the area of operation of the
Authority and to provide an adequate standard of living for
themselves.
(b) It may rent or lease the dwelling accommodations
therein only at rentals within the financial reach of persons
who lack the amount of income which it determines (pursuant to
(a) of this Section) to be necessary in order to obtain safe,
sanitary and uncongested dwelling accommodations within the
area of operation of the Authority and to provide an adequate
standard of living.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1092 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(c) It may rent or lease to a tenant a dwelling consisting
of the number of rooms (but no greater number) which it deems
necessary to provide safe and sanitary accommodations to the
proposed occupants thereof, without overcrowding.
(d) It shall not change the residency preference of any
prospective tenant once the application has been accepted by
the authority.
(e) It may refuse to certify or recertify applicants,
current tenants, or other household members if, after due
notice and an impartial hearing, that person or any of the
proposed occupants of the dwelling has, prior to or during a
term of tenancy or occupancy in any housing project operated
by an Authority, been convicted of a criminal offense relating
to the sale or distribution of controlled substances under the
laws of this State, the United States or any other state. If an
Authority desires a criminal history records check of all 50
states or a 50-state confirmation of a conviction record, the
Authority shall submit the fingerprints of the relevant
applicant, tenant, or other household member to the Illinois
Department of State Police in a manner prescribed by the
Illinois Department of State Police. These fingerprints shall
be checked against the fingerprint records now and hereafter
filed in the Illinois Department of State Police and Federal
Bureau of Investigation criminal history records databases.
The Illinois Department of State Police shall charge a fee for
conducting the criminal history records check, which shall be

HB3655 Engrossed - 1093 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
deposited in the State Police Services Fund and shall not
exceed the actual cost of the records check. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall furnish pursuant to positive
identification, records of conviction to the Authority.
(f) It may, if a tenant has created or maintained a threat
constituting a serious and clear danger to the health or
safety of other tenants or Authority employees, after 3 days'
written notice of termination and without a hearing, file suit
against any such tenant for recovery of possession of the
premises. The tenant shall be given the opportunity to contest
the termination in the court proceedings. A serious and clear
danger to the health or safety of other tenants or Authority
employees shall include, but not be limited to, any of the
following activities of the tenant or of any other person on
the premises with the consent of the tenant:
(1) Physical assault or the threat of physical
assault.
(2) Illegal use of a firearm or other weapon or the
threat to use in an illegal manner a firearm or other
weapon.
(3) Possession of a controlled substance by the tenant
or any other person on the premises with the consent of the
tenant if the tenant knew or should have known of the
possession by the other person of a controlled substance,
unless the controlled substance was obtained directly from
or pursuant to a valid prescription.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1094 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(4) Streetgang membership as defined in the Illinois
Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
The management of low-rent public housing projects
financed and developed under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937
shall be in accordance with that Act.
Nothing contained in this Section or any other Section of
this Act shall be construed as limiting the power of an
Authority to vest in a bondholder or trustee the right, in the
event of a default by the Authority, to take possession and
operate a housing project or cause the appointment of a
receiver thereof, free from all restrictions imposed by this
Section or any other Section of this Act.

Section 755. The Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act
is amended by changing Sections 7.3, 7.4, and 11.1 as follows:
(325 ILCS 5/7.3) (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.3)
Sec. 7.3. (a) The Department shall be the sole agency
responsible for receiving and investigating reports of child
abuse or neglect made under this Act, including reports of
adult resident abuse or neglect as defined in this Act, except
where investigations by other agencies may be required with

HB3655 Engrossed - 1098 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
respect to reports alleging the abuse or neglect of a child by
a person who is not the child's parent, a member of the child's
immediate family, a person responsible for the child's
welfare, an individual residing in the same home as the child,
or a paramour of the child's parent, the death of a child,
serious injury to a child or sexual abuse to a child made
pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 7 of this Act, and except that the
Department may delegate the performance of the investigation
to the Illinois Department of State Police, a law enforcement
agency and to those private social service agencies which have
been designated for this purpose by the Department prior to
July 1, 1980.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the
Department shall adopt rules expressly allowing law
enforcement personnel to investigate reports of suspected
child abuse or neglect concurrently with the Department,
without regard to whether the Department determines a report
to be "indicated" or "unfounded" or deems a report to be
"undetermined".
(c) By June 1, 2016, the Department shall adopt rules that
address and set forth criteria and standards relevant to
investigations of reports of abuse or neglect committed by any
agency, as defined in Section 3 of this Act, or person working
for an agency responsible for the welfare of a child or adult

(Source: P.A. 101-583, eff. 1-1-20.)

HB3655 Engrossed - 1099 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(325 ILCS 5/7.4) (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.4)
Sec. 7.4. (a) The Department shall be capable of receiving
reports of suspected child abuse or neglect 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Whenever the Department receives a report
alleging that a child is a truant as defined in Section 26-2a
of the School Code, as now or hereafter amended, the
Department shall notify the superintendent of the school
district in which the child resides and the appropriate
superintendent of the educational service region. The
notification to the appropriate officials by the Department
shall not be considered an allegation of abuse or neglect
under this Act.
(a-5) The Department of Children and Family Services may
implement a "differential response program" in accordance with
criteria, standards, and procedures prescribed by rule. The
program may provide that, upon receiving a report, the
Department shall determine whether to conduct a family
assessment or an investigation as appropriate to prevent or
provide a remedy for child abuse or neglect.
For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "family assessment"
means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of
subsequent child maltreatment, and family strengths and needs
that is applied to a child maltreatment report that does not
allege substantial child endangerment. "Family assessment"
does not include a determination as to whether child

HB3655 Engrossed - 1100 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
maltreatment occurred but does determine the need for services
to address the safety of family members and the risk of
subsequent maltreatment.
For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "investigation"
means fact-gathering related to the current safety of a child
and the risk of subsequent abuse or neglect that determines
whether a report of suspected child abuse or neglect should be
indicated or unfounded and whether child protective services
are needed.
Under the "differential response program" implemented
under this subsection (a-5), the Department:
(1) Shall conduct an investigation on reports
involving substantial child abuse or neglect.
(2) Shall begin an immediate investigation if, at any
time when it is using a family assessment response, it
determines that there is reason to believe that
substantial child abuse or neglect or a serious threat to
the child's safety exists.
(3) May conduct a family assessment for reports that
do not allege substantial child endangerment. In
determining that a family assessment is appropriate, the
Department may consider issues, including, but not limited
to, child safety, parental cooperation, and the need for
an immediate response.
(4) Shall promulgate criteria, standards, and
procedures that shall be applied in making this

HB3655 Engrossed - 1101 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
determination, taking into consideration the Child
Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol of the Department.
(5) May conduct a family assessment on a report that
was initially screened and assigned for an investigation.
In determining that a complete investigation is not
required, the Department must document the reason for
terminating the investigation and notify the local law
enforcement agency or the Illinois Department of State Police
if the local law enforcement agency or Illinois Department of
State Police is conducting a joint investigation.
Once it is determined that a "family assessment" will be
implemented, the case shall not be reported to the central
register of abuse and neglect reports.
During a family assessment, the Department shall collect
any available and relevant information to determine child
safety, risk of subsequent abuse or neglect, and family
strengths.
Information collected includes, but is not limited to,
when relevant: information with regard to the person reporting
the alleged abuse or neglect, including the nature of the
reporter's relationship to the child and to the alleged
offender, and the basis of the reporter's knowledge for the
report; the child allegedly being abused or neglected; the
alleged offender; the child's caretaker; and other collateral
sources having relevant information related to the alleged
abuse or neglect. Information relevant to the assessment must

HB3655 Engrossed - 1102 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
be asked for, and may include:
(A) The child's sex and age, prior reports of abuse or
neglect, information relating to developmental
functioning, credibility of the child's statement, and
whether the information provided under this paragraph (A)
is consistent with other information collected during the
course of the assessment or investigation.
(B) The alleged offender's age, a record check for
prior reports of abuse or neglect, and criminal charges
and convictions. The alleged offender may submit
supporting documentation relevant to the assessment.
(C) Collateral source information regarding the
alleged abuse or neglect and care of the child. Collateral
information includes, when relevant: (i) a medical
examination of the child; (ii) prior medical records
relating to the alleged maltreatment or care of the child
maintained by any facility, clinic, or health care
professional, and an interview with the treating
professionals; and (iii) interviews with the child's
caretakers, including the child's parent, guardian, foster
parent, child care provider, teachers, counselors, family
members, relatives, and other persons who may have
knowledge regarding the alleged maltreatment and the care
of the child.
(D) Information on the existence of domestic abuse and
violence in the home of the child, and substance abuse.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1103 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Nothing in this subsection (a-5) precludes the Department
from collecting other relevant information necessary to
conduct the assessment or investigation. Nothing in this
subsection (a-5) shall be construed to allow the name or
identity of a reporter to be disclosed in violation of the
protections afforded under Section 7.19 of this Act.
After conducting the family assessment, the Department
shall determine whether services are needed to address the
safety of the child and other family members and the risk of
subsequent abuse or neglect.
Upon completion of the family assessment, if the
Department concludes that no services shall be offered, then
the case shall be closed. If the Department concludes that
services shall be offered, the Department shall develop a
family preservation plan and offer or refer services to the
family.
At any time during a family assessment, if the Department
believes there is any reason to stop the assessment and
conduct an investigation based on the information discovered,
the Department shall do so.
The procedures available to the Department in conducting
investigations under this Act shall be followed as appropriate
during a family assessment.
If the Department implements a differential response
program authorized under this subsection (a-5), the Department
shall arrange for an independent evaluation of the program for

HB3655 Engrossed - 1104 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
at least the first 3 years of implementation to determine
whether it is meeting the goals in accordance with Section 2 of
this Act.
The Department may adopt administrative rules necessary
for the execution of this Section, in accordance with Section
4 of the Children and Family Services Act.
The Department shall submit a report to the General
Assembly by January 15, 2018 on the implementation progress
and recommendations for additional needed legislative changes.
(b)(1) The following procedures shall be followed in the
investigation of all reports of suspected abuse or neglect of
a child, except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section.
(2) If, during a family assessment authorized by
subsection (a-5) or an investigation, it appears that the
immediate safety or well-being of a child is endangered, that
the family may flee or the child disappear, or that the facts
otherwise so warrant, the Child Protective Service Unit shall
commence an investigation immediately, regardless of the time
of day or night. All other investigations shall be commenced
within 24 hours of receipt of the report. Upon receipt of a
report, the Child Protective Service Unit shall conduct a
family assessment authorized by subsection (a-5) or begin an
initial investigation and make an initial determination
whether the report is a good faith indication of alleged child
abuse or neglect.
(3) Based on an initial investigation, if the Unit

HB3655 Engrossed - 1105 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
determines the report is a good faith indication of alleged
child abuse or neglect, then a formal investigation shall
commence and, pursuant to Section 7.12 of this Act, may or may
not result in an indicated report. The formal investigation
shall include: direct contact with the subject or subjects of
the report as soon as possible after the report is received; an
evaluation of the environment of the child named in the report
and any other children in the same environment; a
determination of the risk to such children if they continue to
remain in the existing environments, as well as a
determination of the nature, extent and cause of any condition
enumerated in such report; the name, age and condition of
other children in the environment; and an evaluation as to
whether there would be an immediate and urgent necessity to
remove the child from the environment if appropriate family
preservation services were provided. After seeing to the
safety of the child or children, the Department shall
forthwith notify the subjects of the report in writing, of the
existence of the report and their rights existing under this
Act in regard to amendment or expungement. To fulfill the
requirements of this Section, the Child Protective Service
Unit shall have the capability of providing or arranging for
comprehensive emergency services to children and families at
all times of the day or night.
(4) If (i) at the conclusion of the Unit's initial
investigation of a report, the Unit determines the report to

HB3655 Engrossed - 1106 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
be a good faith indication of alleged child abuse or neglect
that warrants a formal investigation by the Unit, the
Department, any law enforcement agency or any other
responsible agency and (ii) the person who is alleged to have
caused the abuse or neglect is employed or otherwise engaged
in an activity resulting in frequent contact with children and
the alleged abuse or neglect are in the course of such
employment or activity, then the Department shall, except in
investigations where the Director determines that such
notification would be detrimental to the Department's
investigation, inform the appropriate supervisor or
administrator of that employment or activity that the Unit has
commenced a formal investigation pursuant to this Act, which
may or may not result in an indicated report. The Department
shall also notify the person being investigated, unless the
Director determines that such notification would be
detrimental to the Department's investigation.
(c) In an investigation of a report of suspected abuse or
neglect of a child by a school employee at a school or on
school grounds, the Department shall make reasonable efforts
to follow the following procedures:
(1) Investigations involving teachers shall not, to
the extent possible, be conducted when the teacher is
scheduled to conduct classes. Investigations involving
other school employees shall be conducted so as to
minimize disruption of the school day. The school employee

HB3655 Engrossed - 1107 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
accused of child abuse or neglect may have his superior,
his association or union representative and his attorney
present at any interview or meeting at which the teacher
or administrator is present. The accused school employee
shall be informed by a representative of the Department,
at any interview or meeting, of the accused school
employee's due process rights and of the steps in the
investigation process. These due process rights shall also
include the right of the school employee to present
countervailing evidence regarding the accusations. In an
investigation in which the alleged perpetrator of abuse or
neglect is a school employee, including, but not limited
to, a school teacher or administrator, and the
recommendation is to determine the report to be indicated,
in addition to other procedures as set forth and defined
in Department rules and procedures, the employee's due
process rights shall also include: (i) the right to a copy
of the investigation summary; (ii) the right to review the
specific allegations which gave rise to the investigation;
and (iii) the right to an administrator's teleconference
which shall be convened to provide the school employee
with the opportunity to present documentary evidence or
other information that supports his or her position and to
provide information before a final finding is entered.
(2) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
teacher or administrator does not involve allegations of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1108 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
sexual abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child
Protective Service Unit shall make reasonable efforts to
conduct the initial investigation in coordination with the
employee's supervisor.
If the Unit determines that the report is a good faith
indication of potential child abuse or neglect, it shall
then commence a formal investigation under paragraph (3)
of subsection (b) of this Section.
(3) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
teacher or administrator involves an allegation of sexual
abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child Protective Unit
shall commence an investigation under paragraph (2) of
subsection (b) of this Section.
(c-5) In any instance in which a report is made or caused
to made by a school district employee involving the conduct of
a person employed by the school district, at the time the
report was made, as required under Section 4 of this Act, the
Child Protective Service Unit shall send a copy of its final
finding report to the general superintendent of that school
district.
(c-10) The Department may recommend that a school district
remove a school employee who is the subject of an
investigation from his or her employment position pending the
outcome of the investigation; however, all employment
decisions regarding school personnel shall be the sole
responsibility of the school district or employer. The

HB3655 Engrossed - 1109 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Department may not require a school district to remove a
school employee from his or her employment position or limit
the school employee's duties pending the outcome of an
investigation.
(d) If the Department has contact with an employer, or
with a religious institution or religious official having
supervisory or hierarchical authority over a member of the
clergy accused of the abuse of a child, in the course of its
investigation, the Department shall notify the employer or the
religious institution or religious official, in writing, when
a report is unfounded so that any record of the investigation
can be expunged from the employee's or member of the clergy's
personnel or other records. The Department shall also notify
the employee or the member of the clergy, in writing, that
notification has been sent to the employer or to the
appropriate religious institution or religious official
informing the employer or religious institution or religious
official that the Department's investigation has resulted in
an unfounded report.
(d-1) Whenever a report alleges that a child was abused or
neglected while receiving care in a hospital, including a
freestanding psychiatric hospital licensed by the Department
of Public Health, the Department shall send a copy of its final
finding to the Director of Public Health and the Director of
Healthcare and Family Services.
(e) Upon request by the Department, the Illinois

HB3655 Engrossed - 1110 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

this Act; or (2) a currently valid license to carry a concealed
firearm which has previously been issued in his or her name by

Section, any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm or
firearms to any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
dealer shall, before selling or transferring the firearms,
contact the Illinois Department of State Police with the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1336 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
seller or transferor of the firearm, although the dealer
is not required to accept the firearm into his or her
inventory. The purchaser or transferee may be required by

exceed $10 per firearm, which the dealer may retain as
compensation for performing the functions required under
this paragraph, plus the applicable fees authorized by
Section 3.1;
(2) transfers as a bona fide gift to the transferor's

(6) temporary transfers that occur while in the home
of the unlicensed transferee, if the unlicensed transferee

HB3655 Engrossed - 1337 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
is not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms and
the unlicensed transferee reasonably believes that
possession of the firearm is necessary to prevent imminent
death or great bodily harm to the unlicensed transferee;
(7) transfers to a law enforcement or corrections
agency or a law enforcement or corrections officer acting
within the course and scope of his or her official duties;
(8) transfers of firearms that have been rendered

completed within this State, the record shall contain the name
and address of the transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the

the firearm. On demand of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for inspection such record of transfer. If the
transfer or sale took place at a gun show, the record shall
include the unique identification number. Failure to record
the unique identification number or approval number is a petty
offense. For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on
or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th
General Assembly, failure by the private seller to maintain
the transfer records in accordance with this Section is a
Class A misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class 4 felony
for a second or subsequent offense. A transferee shall not be
criminally liable under this Section provided that he or she
provides the Illinois Department of State Police with the
transfer records in accordance with procedures established by

of the Criminal Code of 2012, federal law, or this Act the

(A) a notarized statement from the officer in the form
prescribed by the Director detailing the circumstances
that led to the hospitalization;

conference is scheduled to obtain additional information
concerning the circumstances of the denial or revocation, the
60 business days the Director has to act shall be tolled until
the completion of the fact-finding conference.
(3) The Director may grant relief if the aggrieved party's

the revocation of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a
person who has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense that
if committed by an adult would be a felony if an application
for relief has been filed at least 10 years after the
adjudication of delinquency and the court determines that the
applicant should be granted relief from disability to obtain a

under the laws of this State or who was determined to be
subject to the provisions of subsections (e), (f), or (g) of

State Police requesting relief from that prohibition. The

HB3655 Engrossed - 1372 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Director shall grant the relief if it is established by a
preponderance of the evidence that the person will not be

available no longer applies. The Illinois Department of State
Police shall adopt rules for the administration of this

regulation, licensing, possession, and registration of
handguns and ammunition for a handgun, and the transportation
of any firearm and ammunition by a holder of a valid Firearm
Owner's Identification Card issued by the Illinois Department
of State Police under this Act are exclusive powers and
functions of this State. Any ordinance or regulation, or
portion of that ordinance or regulation, enacted on or before
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General
Assembly that purports to impose regulations or restrictions
on a holder of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card
issued by the Illinois Department of State Police under this

HB3655 Engrossed - 1389 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
incompetence, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or inability to

shall be deemed present for purposes of establishing a quorum
and voting.
(d) The Board shall adopt rules for the review of

maintain a record of its decisions and all materials
considered in making its decisions. All Board decisions and
voting records shall be kept confidential and all materials

upon order of a court.
(e) In considering an objection of a law enforcement
agency or the Illinois State Police Department, the Board
shall review the materials received with the objection from
the law enforcement agency or the Illinois State Police

HB3655 Engrossed - 1390 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
may request additional information from the law enforcement
agency, Illinois State Police Department, or the applicant, or

Police Department, or the applicant. The Board may require
that the applicant submit electronic fingerprints to the
Illinois State Police Department for an updated background
check where the Board determines it lacks sufficient
information to determine eligibility. The Board may only
consider information submitted by the Illinois State Police
Department, a law enforcement agency, or the applicant. The
Board shall review each objection and determine by a majority
of commissioners whether an applicant is eligible for a
license.
(f) The Board shall issue a decision within 30 days of
receipt of the objection from the Illinois State Police
Department. However, the Board need not issue a decision
within 30 days if:
(1) the Board requests information from the applicant,
including but not limited to electronic fingerprints to be
submitted to the Illinois State Police Department, in
accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, in which
case the Board shall make a decision within 30 days of
receipt of the required information from the applicant;

HB3655 Engrossed - 1391 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
State Police Department that the Board needs an additional
30 days to issue a decision.
(g) If the Board determines by a preponderance of the
evidence that the applicant poses a danger to himself or
herself or others, or is a threat to public safety, then the
Board shall affirm the objection of the law enforcement agency
or the Illinois State Police Department and shall notify the
Illinois State Police Department that the applicant is
ineligible for a license. If the Board does not determine by a
preponderance of the evidence that the applicant poses a
danger to himself or herself or others, or is a threat to
public safety, then the Board shall notify the Illinois State
Police Department that the applicant is eligible for a
license.
(h) Meetings of the Board shall not be subject to the Open
Meetings Act and records of the Board shall not be subject to
the Freedom of Information Act.
(i) The Board shall report monthly to the Governor and the
General Assembly on the number of objections received and
provide details of the circumstances in which the Board has
determined to deny licensure based on law enforcement or
Illinois State Police Department objections under Section 15
of this Act. The report shall not contain any identifying
information about the applicants.

any and all intimate partners of the respondent. The notice
must include that the petitioner intends to petition the court
for an emergency firearms restraining order, and, if the
petitioner is a law enforcement officer, referral to relevant

another by having in his or her custody or control,
purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, the circuit or
associate judge shall issue an emergency order.
(f-5) If the court issues an emergency firearms
restraining order, it shall, upon a finding of probable cause
that the respondent possesses firearms, issue a search warrant
directing a law enforcement agency to seize the respondent's

Card has been revoked or suspended may petition the court, if
the petitioner is present in court or has notice of the
respondent's petition, to transfer the respondent's firearm to
a person who is lawfully able to possess the firearm if the
person does not reside at the same address as the respondent.
Notice of the petition shall be served upon the person
protected by the emergency firearms restraining order. While
the order is in effect, the transferee who receives the
respondent's firearms must swear or affirm by affidavit that
he or she shall not transfer the firearm to the respondent or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1425 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

custody, control, or possession and the lawful owner
agrees to store the firearm in a manner such that the
respondent does not have access to or control of the
firearm; and
(2) the firearm is not otherwise unlawfully possessed
by the owner.
The person petitioning for the return of his or her
firearm must swear or affirm by affidavit that he or she: (i)
is the lawful owner of the firearm; (ii) shall not transfer the
firearm to the respondent; and (iii) will store the firearm in
a manner that the respondent does not have access to or control
of the firearm.
(i) In accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, the
court shall schedule a full hearing as soon as possible, but no
longer than 14 days from the issuance of an ex parte firearms
restraining order, to determine if a 6-month firearms
restraining order shall be issued. The court may extend an ex

HB3655 Engrossed - 1426 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
parte order as needed, but not to exceed 14 days, to effectuate
service of the order or if necessary to continue protection.
The court may extend the order for a greater length of time by
mutual agreement of the parties.

licensee to seek certification of a license held under a

under another business name using the same license or as the
same person or entity doing business under a different

A licensee who possesses a junk vehicle and a Certificate
of Title, Salvage Certificate, Certificate of Purchase, or a
similarly acceptable out-of-state document of ownership for
such junk vehicle, may transport the junk vehicle to another
licensee prior to applying for or obtaining a junking
certificate, by executing a uniform invoice. The licensee

HB3655 Engrossed - 1483 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
transferor shall furnish a copy of the uniform invoice to the
licensee transferee at the time of transfer. In any case, the
licensee transferor shall apply for a junking certificate in
conformance with Section 3-117.1 of this Chapter. The
following information shall be contained on a uniform invoice:
(1) The business name, address and dealer license
number of the person disposing of the vehicle, junk
vehicle or vehicle cowl;
(2) The name and address of the person acquiring the
vehicle, junk vehicle or vehicle cowl, and if that person
is a dealer, the Illinois or out-of-state dealer license
number of that dealer;
(3) The date of the disposition of the vehicle, junk
vehicle or vehicle cowl;
(4) The year, make, model, color and description of
each vehicle, junk vehicle or vehicle cowl disposed of by
such person;
(5) The manufacturer's vehicle identification number,
Secretary of State identification number or Illinois
Department of State Police number, for each vehicle, junk
vehicle or vehicle cowl part disposed of by such person;
(6) The printed name and legible signature of the
person or agent disposing of the vehicle, junk vehicle or
vehicle cowl; and
(7) The printed name and legible signature of the
person accepting delivery of the vehicle, junk vehicle or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1484 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
vehicle cowl.
The Secretary of State may certify a junking manifest in a
form prescribed by the Secretary of State that reflects those
vehicles for which junking certificates have been applied or
issued. A junking manifest may be issued to any person and it
shall constitute evidence of ownership for the vehicle listed
upon it. A junking manifest may be transferred only to a person
licensed under Section 5-301 of this Code as a scrap
processor. A junking manifest will allow the transportation of
those vehicles to a scrap processor prior to receiving the
junk certificate from the Secretary of State.
(b) An application for a salvage certificate shall be
submitted to the Secretary of State in any of the following
situations:
(1) When an insurance company makes a payment of
damages on a total loss claim for a vehicle, the insurance
company shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle and
the vehicle shall be considered to be salvage except that
ownership of (i) a vehicle that has incurred only hail
damage that does not affect the operational safety of the
vehicle or (ii) any vehicle 9 model years of age or older
may, by agreement between the registered owner and the
insurance company, be retained by the registered owner of
such vehicle. The insurance company shall promptly deliver
or mail within 20 days the certificate of title along with
proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and

HB3655 Engrossed - 1485 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
insurer making payment of damages on a total loss claim
for the theft of a vehicle shall not be required to apply
for a salvage certificate unless the vehicle is recovered
and has incurred damage that initially would have caused
the vehicle to be declared a total loss by the insurer.
(1.1) When a vehicle of a self-insured company is to
be sold in the State of Illinois and has sustained damaged
by collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means
so that the self-insured company determines the vehicle to
be a total loss, or if the cost of repairing the damage,
including labor, would be greater than 70% of its fair
market value without that damage, the vehicle shall be
considered salvage. The self-insured company shall
promptly deliver the certificate of title along with
proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and
a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
self-insured company. A self-insured company making
payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a
vehicle may exchange the salvage certificate for a
certificate of title if the vehicle is recovered without
damage. In such a situation, the self-insured shall fill
out and sign a form prescribed by the Secretary of State
which contains an affirmation under penalty of perjury
that the vehicle was recovered without damage and the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1486 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Secretary of State may, by rule, require photographs to be
submitted.
(2) When a vehicle the ownership of which has been
transferred to any person through a certificate of
purchase from acquisition of the vehicle at an auction,
other dispositions as set forth in Sections 4-208 and
4-209 of this Code, or a lien arising under Section
18a-501 of this Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the
option of the purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle
in such manner shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20
days after the acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate
of purchase, the proper application and fee, and, if the
vehicle is an abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned
Mobile Home Act, a certification from a local law
enforcement agency that the vehicle was purchased or
acquired at a public sale under the Abandoned Mobile Home
Act to the Secretary of State and a salvage certificate or
junking certificate shall be issued in the name of that
person. The salvage certificate or junking certificate
issued by the Secretary of State under this Section shall
be free of any lien that existed against the vehicle prior
to the time the vehicle was acquired by the applicant
under this Code.
(3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the
repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1487 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire,
theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.
If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged
in excess of 33 1/3% of such fair market value, the
lienholder shall, before sale, transfer or assignment of
the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate,
and shall submit with such application the proper fee and
evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown
in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the
Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in
the name of the lienholder making the application. In any
case wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in
excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder
shall comply with the requirements of subsections (f),
(f-5), and (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the
affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the
lienholder shall also contain an affirmation under penalty
of perjury that the vehicle on the date of sale is not
damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value. If
the facts required to be shown in subsection (f) of
Section 3-114 are satisfied, the Secretary of State shall
issue a certificate of title as set forth in Section 3-116
of this Code. The Secretary of State may by rule or
regulation require photographs to be submitted.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1488 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than 5
commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other
state or registered proportionately among several states
shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has
sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust,
corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing
such damage, including labor, would be greater than 33
1/3% of the fair market value of the vehicle without such
damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell,
transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a
person within this State other than an insurance company
licensed to do business within this State, and the owner
determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed
sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 33
1/3% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before
such sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a
salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it
evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet
vehicle at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment
is not damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market
value, the owner shall so state in a written affirmation
on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or
regulation. The Secretary of State may by rule or
regulation require photographs to be submitted. Upon sale,
transfer or assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner
shall mail the affirmation to the Secretary of State.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1489 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
point that rising water has reached over the door sill and
has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood
vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be
salvage only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that
the cost of repairing the damage, including labor, would
be greater than 33 1/3% of the fair market value of the
vehicle without that damage. The salvage certificate
issued under this Section shall indicate the word "flood",
and the word "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on
subsequent titles for the vehicle. A person who possesses
or acquires a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess
of 33 1/3% of its fair market value shall make application
for title in accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code,
designating the vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed
by the Secretary of State. The certificate of title issued
shall indicate the word "flood", and the word "flood"
shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for
the vehicle.
(6) When any licensed rebuilder, repairer, new or used
vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an
application for title to a vehicle (other than an
application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she
knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained
damages in excess of 33 1/3% of the vehicle's fair market
value without that damage; provided, however, that any

HB3655 Engrossed - 1490 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
application for a salvage certificate for a vehicle
recovered from theft and acquired from an insurance
company shall be made as required by paragraph (1) of this
subsection (b).
(c) Any person who without authority acquires, sells,
exchanges, gives away, transfers or destroys or offers to
acquire, sell, exchange, give away, transfer or destroy the
certificate of title to any vehicle which is a junk or salvage
vehicle shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony.
(d) Except as provided under subsection (a), any person
who knowingly fails to surrender to the Secretary of State a
certificate of title, salvage certificate, certificate of
purchase or a similarly acceptable out-of-state document of
ownership as required under the provisions of this Section is
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class
4 felony for a subsequent offense; except that a person
licensed under this Code who violates paragraph (5) of
subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a business offense
and shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000
for a first offense and is guilty of a Class 4 felony for a
second or subsequent violation.
(e) Any vehicle which is salvage or junk may not be driven
or operated on roads and highways within this State. A
violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. A
salvage vehicle displaying valid special plates issued under
Section 3-601(b) of this Code, which is being driven to or from

HB3655 Engrossed - 1491 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
an inspection conducted under Section 3-308 of this Code, is
exempt from the provisions of this subsection. A salvage
vehicle for which a short term permit has been issued under
Section 3-307 of this Code is exempt from the provisions of
this subsection for the duration of the permit.

the registration of a vehicle upon receipt of a report from the
Illinois State Police that such vehicle was stolen or

within the meaning of this Act.
(h-1) A person engaged in the repair or servicing of
vehicles may reaffix a manufacturer's identification number
plate on the same damaged vehicle from which it was originally
removed, if the person reaffixes the original manufacturer's
identification number plate in place of the identification
number plate affixed on a new dashboard that has been
installed in the vehicle. The person must notify the Secretary
of State each time the original manufacturer's identification
number plate is reaffixed on a vehicle. The person must keep a
record indicating that the identification number plate affixed
on the new dashboard has been removed and has been replaced by
the manufacturer's identification number plate originally
affixed on the vehicle. The person also must keep a record
regarding the status and location of the identification number
plate removed from the replacement dashboard. The Secretary

(i) If a vehicle or part of any vehicle is found to have
the manufacturer's identification number removed, altered,
defaced or destroyed, the vehicle or part shall be seized by
any law enforcement agency having jurisdiction and held for
the purpose of identification. In the event that the
manufacturer's identification number of a vehicle or part
cannot be identified, the vehicle or part shall be considered
contraband, and no right of property shall exist in any person
owning, leasing or possessing such property, unless the person
owning, leasing or possessing the vehicle or part acquired
such without knowledge that the manufacturer's vehicle
identification number has been removed, altered, defaced,
falsified or destroyed.
Either the seizing law enforcement agency or the State's
Attorney of the county where the seizure occurred may make an
application for an order of forfeiture to the circuit court in
the county of seizure. The application for forfeiture shall be
independent from any prosecution arising out of the seizure
and is not subject to any final determination of such
prosecution. The circuit court shall issue an order forfeiting
the property to the seizing law enforcement agency if the
court finds that the property did not at the time of seizure

HB3655 Engrossed - 1502 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
possess a valid manufacturer's identification number and that
the original manufacturer's identification number cannot be
ascertained. The seizing law enforcement agency may:
(1) retain the forfeited property for official use; or
(2) sell the forfeited property and distribute the
proceeds in accordance with Section 4-211 of this Code, or
dispose of the forfeited property in such manner as the
law enforcement agency deems appropriate.
(i-1) If a motorcycle is seized under subsection (i), the
motorcycle must be returned within 45 days of the date of
seizure to the person from whom it was seized, unless (i)
criminal charges are pending against that person or (ii) an
application for an order of forfeiture has been submitted to
the circuit in the county of seizure or (iii) the circuit court
in the county of seizure has received from the seizing law
enforcement agency and has granted a petition to extend, for a
single 30 day period, the 45 days allowed for return of the
motorcycle. Except as provided in subsection (i-2), a
motorcycle returned to the person from whom it was seized must
be returned in essentially the same condition it was in at the
time of seizure.
(i-2) If any part or parts of a motorcycle seized under
subsection (i) are found to be stolen and are removed, the
seizing law enforcement agency is not required to replace the
part or parts before returning the motorcycle to the person
from whom it was seized.

(j) The Illinois State Police or the Secretary of State
Department of Police shall notify the Secretary of State each
time a manufacturer's vehicle identification number is
affixed, reaffixed, restored or restamped on any vehicle. The
Secretary of State shall make the necessary changes or
corrections in his records, after the proper applications and
fees have been submitted, if applicable.
(k) Any vessel, vehicle or aircraft used with knowledge
and consent of the owner in the commission of, or in the
attempt to commit as defined in Section 8-4 of the Criminal
Code of 2012, an offense prohibited by Section 4-103 of this
Chapter, including transporting of a stolen vehicle or stolen
vehicle parts, shall be seized by any law enforcement agency.
The seizing law enforcement agency may:
(1) return the vehicle to its owner if such vehicle is
stolen; or
(2) confiscate the vehicle and retain it for any
purpose which the law enforcement agency deems
appropriate; or
(3) sell the vehicle at a public sale or dispose of the
vehicle in such other manner as the law enforcement agency
deems appropriate.
If the vehicle is sold at public sale, the proceeds of the
sale shall be paid to the law enforcement agency.
The law enforcement agency shall not retain, sell or
dispose of a vehicle under paragraphs (2) or (3) of this

HB3655 Engrossed - 1504 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subsection (k) except upon an order of forfeiture issued by
the circuit court. The circuit court may issue such order of

list which shall be used by law enforcement officers

HB3655 Engrossed - 1508 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
authorizing the tow of a vehicle within the jurisdiction of
the law enforcement agency. To ensure adequate response time,
a law enforcement agency may maintain multiple tow rotation

different geographic locations within the jurisdiction of the
law enforcement agency. A towing service may be included on
more than one tow rotation list.
(b) Any towing service operating within the jurisdiction
of a law enforcement agency may submit an application in a form
and manner prescribed by the law enforcement agency for
inclusion on the law enforcement agency's tow rotation list.
The towing service does not need to be located within the
jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency. To be included on
a tow rotation list the towing service must meet the following

operate in every unit of local government in the law
enforcement agency's jurisdiction that requires a license
for the operation of a towing service;

Illinois Department of State Police. These fingerprints

HB3655 Engrossed - 1509 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
should be transmitted through a live scan fingerprint
vendor licensed by the Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation. These fingerprints shall be
checked against the fingerprint records now and hereafter
filed in the Illinois Department of State Police and
Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history records
databases. The Illinois Department of State Police shall
charge a fee for conducting the criminal history record
check, which shall be deposited in the State Police
Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the
State and national criminal history record check. The
Illinois Department of State Police shall furnish,
pursuant to positive identification, all Illinois
conviction information to the law enforcement agency
maintaining the tow rotation list and shall forward the
national criminal history record information to the law
enforcement agency maintaining the tow rotation list. A
person may not own a towing service or operate a vehicle on
behalf of a towing service included on a tow rotation list
if that person has been convicted during the 5 years
preceding the application of a criminal offense involving
one or more of the following:
(A) bodily injury or attempt to inflict bodily
injury to another person;
(B) theft of property or attempted theft of
property; or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1510 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(C) sexual assault or attempted sexual assault of
any kind;
(3) each person operating a vehicle on behalf of the
towing service must be classified for the type of towing
operation he or she shall be performing and the vehicle he
or she shall be operating;

addition to any other insurance required by law:

(C) a worker's compensation policy covering every
person operating a tow truck on behalf of the towing
service, if required under current law;
(5) possess a secure parking lot used for short-term
vehicle storage after a vehicle is towed that is open
during business hours and is equipped with security
features as required by the law enforcement agency;
(6) utilize only vehicles that possess a valid vehicle
registration, display a valid Illinois license plate in
accordance with Section 5-202 of this Code, and comply

HB3655 Engrossed - 1511 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
with the weight requirements of this Code;
(7) every person operating a towing or recovery
vehicle on behalf of the towing service must have
completed a Traffic Incident Management Training Program
approved by the Department of Transportation;
(8) hold a valid authority issued to it by the
Illinois Commerce Commission;
(9) comply with all other applicable federal, State,
and local laws; and
(10) comply with any additional requirements the
applicable law enforcement agency deems necessary.
The law enforcement agency may select which towing
services meeting the requirements of this subsection (b) shall
be included on a tow rotation list. The law enforcement agency
may choose to have only one towing service on its tow rotation
list. Complaints regarding the process for inclusion on a tow
rotation list or the use of a tow rotation list may be referred
in writing to the head of the law enforcement agency
administering that tow rotation list. The head of the law
enforcement agency shall make the final determination as to
which qualified towing services shall be included on a tow
rotation list, and shall not be held liable for the exclusion
of any towing service from a tow rotation list.
(c) Whenever a law enforcement officer initiates a tow of
a vehicle, the officer shall contact his or her law
enforcement agency and inform the agency that a tow has been

HB3655 Engrossed - 1512 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
authorized. The law enforcement agency shall then select a
towing service from the law enforcement agency's tow rotation
list corresponding to the geographical area where the tow was
authorized, and shall contact that towing service directly by
phone, computer, or similar means. Towing services shall be
contacted in the order listed on the appropriate tow rotation
list, at which point the towing service shall be placed at the
end of that tow rotation list. In the event a listed towing
service is not available, the next listed towing service on
that tow rotation list shall be contacted.
(d) A law enforcement agency may deviate from the order
listed on a tow rotation list if the towing service next on
that tow rotation list is, in the judgment of the authorizing
officer or the law enforcement agency making the selection,
incapable of or not properly equipped for handling a specific
task related to the tow that requires special skills or
equipment. A deviation from the order listed on the tow
rotation list for this reason shall not cause a loss of
rotation turn by the towing service determined to be incapable
or not properly equipped for handling the request.
(e) In the event of an emergency a law enforcement officer
or agency, taking into account the safety and location of the
situation, may deviate from the order of the tow rotation list
and obtain towing service from any source deemed appropriate.
(f) If the owner or operator of a disabled vehicle is
present at the scene of the disabled vehicle, is not under

HB3655 Engrossed - 1513 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
arrest, and does not abandon his or her vehicle, and in the law
enforcement officer's opinion the disabled vehicle is not
impeding or obstructing traffic, illegally parked, or posing a
security or safety risk, the law enforcement officer shall
allow the owner of the vehicle to specify a towing service to
relocate the disabled vehicle. If the owner chooses not to
specify a towing service, the law enforcement agency shall
select a towing service for the vehicle as provided in
subsection (c) of this Section.
(g) If a tow operator is present or arrives where a tow is
needed and it has not been requested by the law enforcement
agency or the owner or operator, the law enforcement officer,
unless acting under Section 11-1431 of this Code, shall advise
the tow operator to leave the scene.
(h) Nothing contained in this Section shall apply to a law
enforcement agency having jurisdiction solely over a
municipality with a population over 1,000,000.

(a) When a law enforcement agency authorizing the
impounding of a vehicle does not know the identity of the
registered owner, lienholder or other legally entitled person,
that law enforcement agency will cause the vehicle
registration records of the State of Illinois to be searched

HB3655 Engrossed - 1514 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

required ownership information.
(b) The law enforcement agency authorizing the impounding
of a vehicle will cause the stolen motor vehicle files of the
Illinois State Police to be searched by a directed
communication to the Illinois State Police for stolen or
wanted information on the vehicle. When the Illinois State
Police files are searched with negative results, the
information contained in the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC) files will be searched by the Illinois State Police.
The information determined from these record searches will be
returned to the requesting law enforcement agency for that
agency's use in sending a notification by certified mail to
the registered owner, lienholder and other legally entitled
persons advising where the vehicle is held, requesting a
disposition be made and setting forth public sale information.
Notification shall be sent no later than 10 business days
after the date the law enforcement agency impounds or
authorizes the impounding of a vehicle, provided that if the
law enforcement agency is unable to determine the identity of
the registered owner, lienholder or other person legally
entitled to ownership of the impounded vehicle within a 10

Exceptions to a notification by certified mail to the
registered owner, lienholder and other legally entitled
persons are set forth in Section 4-209 of this Code.
(c) When ownership information is needed for a towing
service to give notification as required under this Code, the
towing service may cause the vehicle registration records of
the State of Illinois to be searched by the Secretary of State,
and in such case, the towing service also shall give notice to
all lienholders of record within the time period required for
such other notices.
The written request of a towing service, in the form and
containing the information prescribed by the Secretary of
State by rule, may be transmitted to the Secretary of State in

The Secretary of State shall provide the required
information, or a statement that the information was not found
in the vehicle registration records of the State, by U.S. mail
or other delivery service, facsimile transmission, as
requested by the towing service, or by other means acceptable
to the Secretary of State.
(d) The Secretary of State may prescribe standards and
procedures for submission of requests for record searches and
replies via computer link.
(e) Fees for services provided under this Section shall be

organization, the names and residence address of the
proprietor or of each partner, member, officer, director,

3. A statement that the applicant has been approved
for registration under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
by the Department of Revenue. However, this requirement
does not apply to a dealer who is already licensed
hereunder with the Secretary of State, and who is merely
applying for a renewal of his license. As evidence of this
fact, the application shall be accompanied by a
certification from the Department of Revenue showing that
the Department has approved the applicant for registration
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
4. A statement that the applicant has complied with
the appropriate liability insurance requirement. A

HB3655 Engrossed - 1521 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
persons in any one accident, and $50,000 for damage to
property. Such policy shall expire not sooner than
December 31 of the year for which the license was issued or

at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any
person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any 2
or more persons in any one accident, and $50,000 for
damage to property, then the permitted user's insurer
shall be the primary insurer and the dealer's insurer
shall be the secondary insurer. If the permitted user does
not have a liability insurance policy that provides
automobile liability insurance coverage of at least
$100,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any person,
$300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any 2 or more
persons in any one accident, and $50,000 for damage to
property, or does not have any insurance at all, then the
dealer's insurer shall be the primary insurer and the
permitted user's insurer shall be the secondary insurer.
When a permitted user is "test driving" a used vehicle
dealer's automobile, the used vehicle dealer's insurance
shall be primary and the permitted user's insurance shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 1522 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
be secondary.
As used in this paragraph 4, a "permitted user" is a
person who, with the permission of the used vehicle dealer
or an employee of the used vehicle dealer, drives a
vehicle owned and held for sale or lease by the used
vehicle dealer which the person is considering to purchase
or lease, in order to evaluate the performance,
reliability, or condition of the vehicle. The term
"permitted user" also includes a person who, with the
permission of the used vehicle dealer, drives a vehicle
owned or held for sale or lease by the used vehicle dealer
for loaner purposes while the user's vehicle is being
repaired or evaluated.
As used in this paragraph 4, "test driving" occurs
when a permitted user who, with the permission of the used
vehicle dealer or an employee of the used vehicle dealer,
drives a vehicle owned and held for sale or lease by a used
vehicle dealer that the person is considering to purchase
or lease, in order to evaluate the performance,
reliability, or condition of the vehicle.
As used in this paragraph 4, "loaner purposes" means
when a person who, with the permission of the used vehicle
dealer, drives a vehicle owned or held for sale or lease by
the used vehicle dealer while the user's vehicle is being
repaired or evaluated.
5. An application for a used vehicle dealer's license

HB3655 Engrossed - 1523 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

the Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1536 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
such person; if the essential part being acquired is

(B) Inspections of all essential parts shall be
conducted in accordance with Section 5-402.1.
(C) A separate entry containing all of the information

(2) of subsection (a) of this Section shall be made for
each separate essential part. Separate entries shall be
made regardless of whether the part was a large purchase
acquisition. In addition, a separate entry shall be made

HB3655 Engrossed - 1537 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
for each part acquired for immediate sale or transfer, or
for placement into the overall inventory or stock to be
disposed of at a later time, or for use on a vehicle to be
materially altered by the licensee, or acquired for any
other purpose or reason. Failure to make a separate entry
for each essential part acquired or disposed of, or a
failure to record any of the specific information required

to keep records.
(D) The vehicle's manufacturer's identification number
or Secretary of State or Illinois Department of State
Police identification number for the essential part shall
be ascertained and recorded even if such part is acquired
from a person or dealer located in a State, territory, or

number or Secretary of State or Illinois Department of
State Police identification number for an essential part
cannot be obtained, that part shall not be acquired by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1538 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
employee shall not bring such essential part into this
State or cause it to be brought into this State. The
acquisition or disposition of an essential part by a
licensee without the recording of the vehicle
identification number or Secretary of State identification
number for such part or the transportation into the State
by the licensee or his agent or employee of such part or
parts shall constitute a failure to keep records.
(E) The records of essential parts required to be kept
by this Section shall apply to all hulks, chassis, frames
or cowls, regardless of the age of those essential parts.
The records required to be kept by this Section for
essential parts other than hulks, chassis, frames or
cowls, shall apply only to those essential parts which are
6 model years of age or newer. In determining the model
year of such an essential part it may be presumed that the
identification number of the vehicle from which the
essential part came or the identification number affixed
to the essential part itself acquired by the licensee
denotes the model year of that essential part. This
presumption, however, shall not apply if the gross
appearance of the essential part does not correspond to
the year, make or model of either the identification
number of the vehicle from which the essential part is
alleged to have come or the identification number which is
affixed to the essential part itself. To determine whether

HB3655 Engrossed - 1539 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
an essential part is 6 years of age or newer within this
paragraph, the model year of the essential part shall be
subtracted from the calendar year in which the essential
part is acquired or disposed of by the licensee. If the
remainder is 6 or less, the record of the acquisition or
disposition of that essential part shall be kept as
required by this Section.
(F) The requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection
(a) of this Section shall not apply to the disposition of
an essential part other than a cowl which has been damaged
or altered to a state in which it can no longer be returned
to a usable condition and which is being sold or
transferred to a scrap processor or for delivery to a
scrap processor.
(3) the following records for vehicles on which junking
certificates are obtained shall be kept:
(A) the year, make, model, style and color of the
vehicle;
(B) the vehicle's manufacturer's identification number
or, if applicable, the Secretary of State or Illinois
Department of State Police identification number;
(C) the date the vehicle was acquired;
(D) the name and address of the person from whom the
vehicle was acquired and, if that person is a dealer, the
Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of that
person;

HB3655 Engrossed - 1540 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(E) the certificate of title number or salvage
certificate number for the vehicle, if applicable;
(F) the junking certificate number obtained by the
licensee; this entry shall be recorded at the close of
business of the fifth business day after receiving the
junking certificate;
(G) the name and address of the person to whom the
junking certificate has been assigned, if applicable, and
if that person is a dealer, the Illinois or out-of-state
dealer license number of that dealer;
(H) if the vehicle or any part of the vehicle is
dismantled for its parts to be disposed of in any way, or
if such parts are to be used by the licensee to materially
alter a vehicle, those essential parts shall be recorded
and the entries required by paragraph (2) of subsection
(a) shall be made.
(4) The following records for rebuilt vehicles shall be
kept:
(A) the year, make, model, style and color of the
vehicle;
(B) the vehicle's manufacturer's identification number
of the vehicle or, if applicable, the Secretary of State

HB3655 Engrossed - 1541 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
vehicle was acquired, and if that person is a dealer, the
Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of that
person;
(E) the salvage certificate number for the vehicle;
(F) the newly issued certificate of title number for
the vehicle;
(G) the date of disposition of the vehicle;
(H) the name and address of the person to whom the
vehicle was disposed, and if a dealer, the Illinois or
out-of-state dealer license number of that dealer;
(I) The sale price of the vehicle.
(a-1) A person licensed or required to be licensed under
Section 5-101 or Section 5-102 of this Code who issues
temporary registration permits as permitted by this Code and
by rule must electronically file the registration with the
Secretary and must maintain records of the registration in the
manner prescribed by the Secretary.
(b) A failure to make separate entries for each vehicle
acquired, disposed of, or assigned, or a failure to record any
of the specific information required to be recorded concerning
the acquisition or disposition of each vehicle as set forth in
paragraphs (1), (3) and (4) of subsection (a) shall constitute
a failure to keep records.
(c) All entries relating to the acquisition of a vehicle
or essential part required by subsection (a) of this Section
shall be recorded no later than the close of business on the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1542 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
seventh calendar day following such acquisition. All entries
relating to the disposition of a vehicle or an essential part
shall be made at the time of such disposition. If the vehicle
or essential part was disposed of on the same day as its
acquisition or the day thereafter, the entries relating to the
acquisition of the vehicle or essential part shall be made at
the time of the disposition of the vehicle or essential part.
Failure to make the entries required in or at the times
prescribed by this subsection following the acquisition or
disposition of such vehicle or essential part shall constitute
a failure to keep records.
(d) Every person licensed or required to be licensed
shall, before accepting delivery of a used vehicle, inspect
the vehicle to determine whether the manufacturer's public
vehicle identification number has been defaced, destroyed,
falsified, removed, altered, or tampered with in any way. If
the person making the inspection determines that the
manufacturer's public vehicle identification number has been
altered, removed, defaced, destroyed, falsified or tampered
with he shall not acquire that vehicle but instead shall
promptly notify law enforcement authorities of his finding.
(e) The information required to be kept in subsection (a)
of this Section shall be kept in a manner prescribed by rule or
regulation of the Secretary of State.
(f) Every person licensed or required to be licensed shall

salvage certificate, junking certificate, certificate of
purchase, uniform invoice, out-of-state bill of sale or other
acceptable documentary evidence of his right to the possession
of every vehicle or essential part.
(g) Every person licensed or required to be licensed as a
transporter under Section 5-201 shall maintain for 3 years, in
such form as the Secretary of State may by rule or regulation
prescribe, at his principal place of business a record of
every vehicle transported by him, including numbers of or
other marks of identification thereof, the names and addresses
of persons from whom and to whom the vehicle was delivered and
the dates of delivery.
(h) No later than 15 days prior to going out of business,
selling the business, or transferring the ownership of the
business, the licensee shall notify the Secretary of State
that he is going out of business or that he is transferring the
ownership of the business. Failure to notify under this
paragraph shall constitute a failure to keep records.
(i) (Blank).
(j) A person who knowingly fails to comply with the
provisions of this Section or knowingly fails to obey,
observe, or comply with any order of the Secretary or any law
enforcement agency issued in accordance with this Section is
guilty of a Class B misdemeanor for the first violation and a
Class A misdemeanor for the second and subsequent violations.
Each violation constitutes a separate and distinct offense and

HB3655 Engrossed - 1544 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a separate count may be brought in the same indictment or
information for each vehicle or each essential part of a
vehicle for which a record was not kept as required by this
Section.
(k) Any person convicted of failing to keep the records
required by this Section with intent to conceal the identity
or origin of a vehicle or its essential parts or with intent to
defraud the public in the transfer or sale of vehicles or their
essential parts is guilty of a Class 2 felony. Each violation
constitutes a separate and distinct offense and a separate
count may be brought in the same indictment or information for
each vehicle or essential part of a vehicle for which a record
was not kept as required by this Section.
(l) A person may not be criminally charged with or
convicted of both a knowing failure to comply with this
Section and a knowing failure to comply with any order, if both
offenses involve the same record keeping violation.
(m) The Secretary shall adopt rules necessary for
implementation of this Section, which may include the
imposition of administrative fines.

(a) Except for scrap processors, every person licensed or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1545 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
required to be licensed under Section 5-101, 5-101.1, 5-102,
5-102.8, or 5-301 of this Code shall issue, in a form the
Secretary of State may by rule or regulation prescribe, a
Uniform Invoice, which may also act as a bill of sale, made out
in triplicate with respect to each transaction in which he
disposes of an essential part other than quarter panels and
transmissions of vehicles of the first division. Such Invoice
shall be made out at the time of the disposition of the
essential part. If the licensee disposes of several essential
parts in the same transaction, the licensee may issue one
Uniform Invoice covering all essential parts disposed of in
that transaction.
(b) The following information shall be contained on the
Uniform Invoice:
(1) the business name, address and dealer license
number of the person disposing of the essential part;
(2) the name and address of the person acquiring the
essential part, and if that person is a dealer, the
Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of that
dealer;
(3) the date of the disposition of the essential part;
(4) the year, make, model, color and description of
each essential part disposed of by the person;
(5) the manufacturer's vehicle identification number,
Secretary of State identification number or Illinois

(6) the printed name and legible signature of the
person or agent disposing of the essential part; and
(7) if the person is a dealer the printed name and
legible signature of the dealer or his agent or employee
accepting delivery of the essential part.
(c) Except for scrap processors, and except as set forth
in subsection (d) of this Section, whenever a person licensed
or required to be licensed by Section 5-101, 5-101.1, 5-102,
or 5-301 accepts delivery of an essential part, other than
quarter panels and transmissions of vehicles of the first
division, that person shall, at the time of the acceptance or
delivery, comply with the following procedures:
(1) Before acquiring or accepting delivery of any
essential part, the licensee or his authorized agent or
employee shall inspect the part to determine whether the
vehicle identification number, Secretary of State
identification number, Illinois Department of State Police
identification number, or identification plate or sticker
attached to or stamped on any part being acquired or
delivered has been removed, falsified, altered, defaced,
destroyed, or tampered with. If the licensee or his agent
or employee determines that the vehicle identification
number, Secretary of State identification number, Illinois
Department of State Police identification number,
identification plate or identification sticker containing

HB3655 Engrossed - 1547 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
an identification number, or Federal Certificate label of
an essential part has been removed, falsified, altered,
defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or agent
shall not accept or receive that part.
If that part was physically acquired by or delivered
to a licensee or his agent or employee while that
licensee, agent or employee was outside this State, that
licensee or agent or employee shall not bring that
essential part into this State or cause it to be brought
into this State.
(2) If the person disposing of or delivering the
essential part to the licensee is a licensed in-state or
out-of-state dealer, the licensee or his agent or
employee, after inspecting the essential part as required
by paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), shall examine the
Uniform Invoice, or bill of sale, as the case may be, to
ensure that it contains all the information required to be
provided by persons disposing of essential parts as set
forth in subsection (b) of this Section. If the Uniform
Invoice or bill of sale does not contain all the
information required to be listed by subsection (b) of
this Section, the dealer disposing of or delivering such
part or his agent or employee shall record such additional
information or other needed modifications on the Uniform
Invoice or bill of sale or, if needed, an attachment
thereto. The dealer or his agent or employee delivering

HB3655 Engrossed - 1548 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the essential part shall initial all additions or
modifications to the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale and
legibly print his name at the bottom of each document
containing his initials. If the transaction involves a
bill of sale rather than a Uniform Invoice, the licensee
or his agent or employee accepting delivery of or
acquiring the essential part shall affix his printed name
and legible signature on the space on the bill of sale
provided for his signature or, if no space is provided, on
the back of the bill of sale. If the dealer or his agent or
employee disposing of or delivering the essential part
cannot or does not provide all the information required by
subsection (b) of this Section, the licensee or his agent
or employee shall not accept or receive any essential part
for which that required information is not provided. If
such essential part for which the information required is
not fully provided was physically acquired while the
licensee or his agent or employee was outside this State,

required to be licensed who acquire or dispose of essential
parts other than quarter panels and transmissions of vehicles
of the first division shall retain a copy of the Uniform

of this Code and who drives or is in actual physical control of
a school bus or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a
public or private school, or a school operated by a religious
institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly
scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as
students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity
of the entities listed, upon the public highways of this State
shall be deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or
tests of blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for
the purpose of determining the alcohol content of the person's
blood if arrested, as evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform
Traffic Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, if a police officer has
probable cause to believe that the driver has consumed any
amount of an alcoholic beverage based upon evidence of the
driver's physical condition or other first hand knowledge of
the police officer. The test or tests shall be administered at
the direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement
agency employing the officer shall designate which of the
aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine or other bodily
substance test may be administered even after a blood or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1566 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
breath test or both has been administered.
(b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal,
shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests may be
administered subject to the following provisions:
(1) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,
breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid
under the provisions of this Section, shall have been
performed according to standards promulgated by the
Illinois Department of State Police by an individual
possessing a valid permit issued by the Illinois
Department of State Police for this purpose. The Director
of the Illinois State Police is authorized to approve
satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain the
qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct
analyses, to issue permits that shall be subject to
termination or revocation at the direction of the Illinois
Department of State Police, and to certify the accuracy of
breath testing equipment. The Illinois Department of State
Police shall prescribe rules as necessary.
(2) When a person submits to a blood test at the
request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions
of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice
medicine, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed
advanced practice registered nurse, a registered nurse, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1567 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
other qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting
under the direction of a licensed physician may withdraw
blood for the purpose of determining the alcohol content.
This limitation does not apply to the taking of breath,
other bodily substance, or urine specimens.
(3) The person tested may have a physician, qualified
technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified
person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical
test or tests in addition to any test or tests
administered at the direction of a law enforcement
officer. The test administered at the request of the
person may be admissible into evidence at a hearing
conducted in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code.
The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a
person shall not preclude the consideration of the
previously performed chemical test.
(4) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or that person's
attorney by the requesting law enforcement agency within
72 hours of receipt of the test result.
(5) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
(6) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a

HB3655 Engrossed - 1568 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician licensed
to practice medicine, licensed physician assistant,
licensed advanced practice registered nurse, registered
nurse, or other qualified person trained in venipuncture
and acting under the direction of a licensed physician
shall withdraw blood for testing purposes to ascertain the
presence of alcohol upon the specific request of a law
enforcement officer. However, that testing shall not be
performed until, in the opinion of the medical personnel
on scene, the withdrawal can be made without interfering
with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided in
this Section shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00, may result in the loss of that person's
privilege to possess a school bus driver permit. The loss of
the individual's privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit shall be imposed in accordance with Section 6-106.1b of
this Code. A person requested to submit to a test under this
Section shall also acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the
warning required under this subsection (c). If the person
refuses to acknowledge receipt of the warning, the law
enforcement officer shall make a written notation on the
warning that the person refused to sign the warning. A
person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be evidence

HB3655 Engrossed - 1569 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
State certifying that the test or tests were requested under
subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00. The law enforcement officer
shall submit the same sworn report when a person who has been
issued a school bus driver permit and who was operating a
school bus or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a
public or private school, or a school operated by a religious
institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly
scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as
students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity
of the entities listed, submits to testing under Section
11-501.1 of this Code and the testing discloses an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 and less than the alcohol
concentration at which driving or being in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle is prohibited under paragraph (1)
of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the school bus
driver permit sanction on the individual's driving record and
the sanction shall be effective on the 46th day following the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1570 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
date notice of the sanction was given to the person.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
shall serve immediate notice of this school bus driver permit
sanction on the person and the sanction shall be effective on
the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more
than 0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood,
other bodily substance, or urine, the police officer or
arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this Section
or by deposit in the United States mail of that notice in an
envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to that person at
his or her last known address and the loss of the school bus
driver permit shall be effective on the 46th day following the
date notice was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
school bus driver permit sanction to the driver and the
driver's current employer by mailing a notice of the effective
date of the sanction to the individual. However, shall the
sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient
information or be completed in error, the notice of the school
bus driver permit sanction may not be mailed to the person or
his current employer or entered to the driving record, but
rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law
enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this school bus driver permit

HB3655 Engrossed - 1571 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
sanction by requesting an administrative hearing with the
Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this
Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or
she consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service
or ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration
is shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this
Section if the individual's blood alcohol concentration
resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended
dosage of medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for
that hearing shall not stay or delay the effective date of the
impending suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be
limited to the issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a school bus or any other vehicle owned or
operated by or for a public or private school, or a school
operated by a religious institution, when the vehicle is
being used over a regularly scheduled route for the
transportation of persons enrolled as students in grade 12
or below, in connection with any activity of the entities
listed, upon the public highways of the State and the
police officer had reason to believe that the person was
in violation of any provision of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance; and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic

HB3655 Engrossed - 1572 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit would be canceled if the person refused to submit
to and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to
or complete the test or tests to determine the person's
alcohol concentration; and
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privileges to possess a school bus driver
permit would be canceled if the person submits to a
chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an
alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did
submit to and complete the test or tests that determined
an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a
religious service or ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1573 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the
prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
The Secretary of State may adopt administrative rules
setting forth circumstances under which the holder of a school
bus driver permit is not required to appear in person at the
hearing.
Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the
hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law enforcement
officer's own official reports. Failure of the officer to
answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a continuance if, in
the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
appropriate. At the conclusion of the hearing held under
Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State may
rescind, continue, or modify the school bus driver permit
sanction.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that
the results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge
forms the basis of that suspension or revocation.

(g) This Section applies only to drivers who have been
issued a school bus driver permit in accordance with Section
6-106.1 of this Code at the time of the issuance of the Uniform
Traffic Ticket for a violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is
made under this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking, canceling, or denying any license, permit,
registration, or certificate of title shall be subject to
judicial review in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the provisions of the
Administrative Review Law and its rules are hereby adopted and
shall apply to and govern every action for the judicial review
of final acts or decisions of the Secretary of State under this

and designate the materials to be used in an adult driver
education course. The course shall be at least 6 hours in

HB3655 Engrossed - 1575 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
accidents including poor decision-making, risk taking,
impaired driving, distraction, speed, failure to use a safety

(b) The Secretary shall certify course providers. The
requirements to be a certified course provider, the process
for applying for certification, and the procedure for
decertifying a course provider shall be established by rule.
(b-5) In order to qualify for certification as an adult
driver education course provider, each applicant must
authorize an investigation that includes a fingerprint-based
background check to determine if the applicant has ever been
convicted of a criminal offense and, if so, the disposition of
any conviction. This authorization shall indicate the scope of
the inquiry and the agencies that may be contacted. Upon
receiving this authorization, the Secretary of State may
request and receive information and assistance from any
federal, State, or local governmental agency as part of the
authorized investigation. Each applicant shall submit his or
her fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in
the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of
State Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against
fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation

HB3655 Engrossed - 1576 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
criminal history record databases. The Illinois Department of
State Police shall charge applicants a fee for conducting the
criminal history record check, which shall be deposited into
the State Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual
cost of the State and national criminal history record check.
The Illinois Department of State Police shall furnish,
pursuant to positive identification, records of Illinois
criminal convictions to the Secretary and shall forward the
national criminal history record information to the Secretary.
Applicants shall pay any other fingerprint-related fees.
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the information derived
from the investigation, including the source of the
information and any conclusions or recommendations derived
from the information by the Secretary of State, shall be
provided to the applicant upon request to the Secretary of
State prior to any final action by the Secretary of State on
the application. Any criminal conviction information obtained
by the Secretary of State shall be confidential and may not be
transmitted outside the Office of the Secretary of State,
except as required by this subsection (b-5), and may not be
transmitted to anyone within the Office of the Secretary of
State except as needed for the purpose of evaluating the
applicant. At any administrative hearing held under Section
2-118 of this Code relating to the denial, cancellation,
suspension, or revocation of certification of an adult driver
education course provider, the Secretary of State may utilize

HB3655 Engrossed - 1577 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
at that hearing any criminal history, criminal conviction, and
disposition information obtained under this subsection (b-5).
The information obtained from the investigation may be
maintained by the Secretary of State or any agency to which the
information was transmitted. Only information and standards
which bear a reasonable and rational relation to the
performance of providing adult driver education shall be used
by the Secretary of State. Any employee of the Secretary of
State who gives or causes to be given away any confidential
information concerning any criminal convictions or disposition
of criminal convictions of an applicant shall be guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor unless release of the information is
authorized by this Section.
(c) The Secretary may permit a course provider to offer
the course online, if the Secretary is satisfied the course
provider has established adequate procedures for verifying:
(1) the identity of the person taking the course
online; and
(2) the person completes the entire course.
(d) The Secretary shall establish a method of electronic
verification of a student's successful completion of the
course.
(e) The fee charged by the course provider must bear a
reasonable relationship to the cost of the course. The
Secretary shall post on the Secretary of State's website a
list of approved course providers, the fees charged by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1578 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
providers, and contact information for each provider.
(f) In addition to any other fee charged by the course
provider, the course provider shall collect a fee of $5 from
each student to offset the costs incurred by the Secretary in
administering this program. The $5 shall be submitted to the
Secretary within 14 days of the day on which it was collected.
All such fees received by the Secretary shall be deposited in
the Secretary of State Driver Services Administration Fund.

the purpose of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol
and drug content therein. This limitation shall not apply
to the taking of breath, other bodily substance, or urine
specimens.
When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an

HB3655 Engrossed - 1611 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician
assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse,
a registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under
the direction of the physician, or licensed paramedic. The
law enforcement officer requesting the test shall take
custody of the blood sample, and the blood sample shall be
analyzed by a laboratory certified by the Illinois
Department of State Police for that purpose.
3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
qualified person of their own choosing administer a
chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or
inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the
test or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
officer.
4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or such person's
attorney.
5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol

HB3655 Engrossed - 1612 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
per 210 liters of breath.
6. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration means either 5
nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per
milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other
bodily substance.
(a-5) Law enforcement officials may use validated roadside
chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests approved
by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when
conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or
similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under
the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i)
validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to
determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and
(ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided
attention tasks that are intended to determine if a person is
under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is
to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's
capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore
operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of
these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field
sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be
admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related
offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local

HB3655 Engrossed - 1613 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2.
Where a test is made the following provisions shall apply:
1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
qualified person of their own choosing administer a
chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude
the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests
taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to
validated roadside chemical tests or a standardized field
sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or the person's
attorney.
3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
results of these validated roadside chemical tests or
standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person
may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence
that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform
the validated roadside chemical tests or standardized

HB3655 Engrossed - 1614 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
field sobriety tests.
(b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to
the following presumptions:
1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
not under the influence of alcohol.
2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
considered with other competent evidence in determining
whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
under the influence of alcohol.
4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
person was under the influence of alcohol.
(b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1615 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole
blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by
analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall
give rise to the following presumptions:
1. If there was a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
of 5 nanograms or more in whole blood or 10 nanograms or
more in an other bodily substance as defined in this
Section, it shall be presumed that the person was under
the influence of cannabis.
2. If there was at that time a tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or
less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such
facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but
such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
in determining whether the person was under the influence
of cannabis.
(c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
have been committed while the person under the influence of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1616 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
physical control of a motor vehicle.
2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code
to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
actual physical control of a person under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall
request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a
law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for the
purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the
presence of any other drug or combination of both.
This provision does not affect the applicability of or
imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
11-501.1 of this Code.
3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury
includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic
accident report completed by a law enforcement officer that
requires immediate professional attention in either a doctor's
office or a medical facility. A Type A injury includes severe
bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that
require the injured party to be carried from the scene.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1617 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(d) If a person refuses validated roadside chemical tests
or standardized field sobriety tests under Section 11-501.9 of
this Code, evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any
civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts
committed while the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a vehicle and alleged to have been impaired by the
use of cannabis.
(e) Illinois Department of State Police compliance with
the changes in this amendatory Act of the 99th General
Assembly concerning testing of other bodily substances and
tetrahydrocannabinol concentration by Illinois Department of
State Police laboratories is subject to appropriation and
until the Illinois Department of State Police adopt standards
and completion validation. Any laboratories that test for the
presence of cannabis or other drugs under this Article, the
Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act, or the Boat
Registration and Safety Act must comply with ISO/IEC
17025:2005.

Sec. 11-501.5. Preliminary Breath Screening Test.
(a) If a law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion
to believe that a person is violating or has violated Section
11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
officer, prior to an arrest, may request the person to provide
a sample of his or her breath for a preliminary breath
screening test using a portable device approved by the
Illinois Department of State Police. The person may refuse the
test. The results of this preliminary breath screening test
may be used by the law enforcement officer for the purpose of
assisting with the determination of whether to require a
chemical test as authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and
11-501.2, and the appropriate type of test to request. Any
chemical test authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2
may be requested by the officer regardless of the result of the
preliminary breath screening test, if probable cause for an
arrest exists. The result of a preliminary breath screening
test may be used by the defendant as evidence in any
administrative or court proceeding involving a violation of
Section 11-501 or 11-501.1.
(b) The Illinois Department of State Police shall create a
pilot program to establish the effectiveness of pupillometer
technology (the measurement of the pupil's reaction to light)
as a noninvasive technique to detect and measure possible

HB3655 Engrossed - 1620 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
impairment of any person who drives or is in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle resulting from the suspected usage
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds or any combination thereof. This technology shall
also be used to detect fatigue levels of the operator of a
Commercial Motor Vehicle as defined in Section 6-500(6),
pursuant to Section 18b-105 (Part 395-Hours of Service of
Drivers) of the Illinois Vehicle Code. A State Police officer
may request that the operator of a commercial motor vehicle
have his or her eyes examined or tested with a pupillometer
device. The person may refuse the examination or test. The
State Police officer shall have the device readily available
to limit undue delays.
If a State Police officer has reasonable suspicion to
believe that a person is violating or has violated Section
11-501, the officer may use the pupillometer technology, when
available. The officer, prior to an arrest, may request the
person to have his or her eyes examined or tested with a
pupillometer device. The person may refuse the examination or
test. The results of this examination or test may be used by
the officer for the purpose of assisting with the
determination of whether to require a chemical test as
authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 and the
appropriate type of test to request. Any chemical test
authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 may be
requested by the officer regardless of the result of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1621 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
pupillometer examination or test, if probable cause for an
arrest exists. The result of the examination or test may be
used by the defendant as evidence in any administrative or
court proceeding involving a violation of 11-501 or 11-501.1.
The pilot program shall last for a period of 18 months and
involve the testing of 15 pupillometer devices. Within 90 days
of the completion of the pilot project, the Illinois
Department of State Police shall file a report with the
President of the Senate and Speaker of the House evaluating
the project.

chemical test or tests in addition to any test or tests
administered at the direction of a law enforcement
officer. The failure or inability to obtain an additional

HB3655 Engrossed - 1632 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
test by a person shall not preclude the consideration of
the previously performed chemical test.
(iv) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or that person's
attorney.
(v) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
(vi) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a
result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician licensed
to practice medicine, licensed physician assistant,
licensed advanced practice registered nurse, registered
nurse, or other qualified person trained in venipuncture
and acting under the direction of a licensed physician
shall withdraw blood for testing purposes to ascertain the
presence of alcohol upon the specific request of a law
enforcement officer. However, that testing shall not be
performed until, in the opinion of the medical personnel
on scene, the withdrawal can be made without interfering
with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration

HB3655 Engrossed - 1633 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of more than 0.00, may result in the loss of that person's
privilege to operate a motor vehicle and may result in the
disqualification of the person's privilege to operate a
commercial motor vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this
Code, if the person is a CDL holder. The loss of driving
privileges shall be imposed in accordance with Section 6-208.2
of this Code.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also
acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under
this Section. If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written
notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the
warning. A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be
evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
State, certifying that the test or tests were requested under
subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00. The law enforcement officer
shall submit the same sworn report when a person under the age
of 21 submits to testing under Section 11-501.1 of this Code
and the testing discloses an alcohol concentration of more
than 0.00 and less than 0.08.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1634 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the suspension and
disqualification on the individual's driving record and the
suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th
day following the date notice of the suspension was given to
the person. If this suspension is the individual's first
driver's license suspension under this Section, reports
received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall,
except during the time the suspension is in effect, be
privileged information and for use only by the courts, police
officers, prosecuting authorities, the Secretary of State, or
the individual personally, unless the person is a CDL holder,
is operating a commercial motor vehicle or vehicle required to
be placarded for hazardous materials, in which case the
suspension shall not be privileged. Reports received by the
Secretary of State under this Section shall also be made
available to the parent or guardian of a person under the age
of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a graduated
driver's license, regardless of whether the suspension is in
effect.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
shall serve immediate notice of this suspension on the person
and the suspension and disqualification shall be effective on
the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more
than 0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood,

HB3655 Engrossed - 1635 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
other bodily substance, or urine, the police officer or
arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this Section
or by deposit in the United States mail of that notice in an
envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to that person at
his last known address and the loss of driving privileges
shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice
was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
suspension and disqualification to the driver by mailing a
notice of the effective date of the suspension and
disqualification to the individual. However, should the sworn
report be defective by not containing sufficient information
or be completed in error, the notice of the suspension and
disqualification shall not be mailed to the person or entered
to the driving record, but rather the sworn report shall be
returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this suspension and
disqualification by requesting an administrative hearing with
the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of
this Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
shown to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he
or she consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious
service or ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol
concentration is shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be
subject to this Section if the individual's blood alcohol

HB3655 Engrossed - 1636 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
concentration resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed
or recommended dosage of medicine that contained alcohol. The
petition for that hearing shall not stay or delay the
effective date of the impending suspension. The scope of this
hearing shall be limited to the issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the
State and the police officer had reason to believe that
the person was in violation of any provision of the
Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance; and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
complete the test or tests to determine the person's
alcohol concentration; and

HB3655 Engrossed - 1637 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical
test or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and
complete the test or tests that determined an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a
religious service or ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the
prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118
of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or
modify the suspension and disqualification. If the Secretary
of State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification,
a restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of
State upon application being made and good cause shown. A
restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
hardship by allowing driving for employment, educational, and
medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section
6-206 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of
Section 6-206 of this Code and of subsection (f) of that

HB3655 Engrossed - 1638 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Section shall apply. The Secretary of State shall promulgate
rules providing for participation in an alcohol education and
awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance of
a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under this
Section.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that
the results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge
forms the basis of that suspension or revocation.
(g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
21 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for
a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is
made under this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking, cancelling, or disqualifying any license or permit
shall be subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of
Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1639 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provisions of the Administrative Review Law and its rules are
hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every action for
the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the
Secretary of State under this Section.

he or she knows to contain a false or secret compartment
that is used or has been used to conceal a firearm as
prohibited by paragraph (a)(4) of Section 24-1 or
paragraph (a)(1) of Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of

standards; penalties; funds.
(a) For each diesel powered vehicle that (i) is registered
for a gross weight of more than 16,000 pounds, (ii) is
registered within an affected area, and (iii) is a 2 year or
older model year, an annual emission inspection test shall be
conducted at an official testing station certified by the
Illinois Department of Transportation to perform diesel
emission inspections pursuant to the standards set forth in
subsection (b) of this Section. This annual emission
inspection test may be conducted in conjunction with a
semi-annual safety test.
(a-5) (Blank).
(b) Diesel emission inspections conducted under this
Chapter 13 shall be conducted in accordance with the Society
of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practice J1667
"Snap-Acceleration Smoke Test Procedure for Heavy-Duty Diesel
Powered Vehicles" and the cutpoint standards set forth in the
United States Environmental Protection Agency guidance

HB3655 Engrossed - 1650 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
document "Guidance to States on Smoke Opacity Cutpoints to be
used with the SAE J1667 In-Use Smoke Test Procedure". Those
procedures and standards, as now in effect, are made a part of
this Code, in the same manner as though they were set out in
full in this Code.
Notwithstanding the above cutpoint standards, for motor
vehicles that are model years 1973 and older, until December
31, 2002, the level of peak smoke opacity shall not exceed 70
percent. Beginning January 1, 2003, for motor vehicles that
are model years 1973 and older, the level of peak smoke opacity
shall not exceed 55 percent.
(c) If the annual emission inspection under subsection (a)
reveals that the vehicle is not in compliance with the diesel
emission standards set forth in subsection (b) of this
Section, the operator of the official testing station shall
issue a warning notice requiring correction of the violation.
The correction shall be made and the vehicle submitted to an
emissions retest at an official testing station certified by
the Department to perform diesel emission inspections within
30 days from the issuance of the warning notice requiring
correction of the violation.
If, within 30 days from the issuance of the warning
notice, the vehicle is not in compliance with the diesel
emission standards set forth in subsection (b) as determined
by an emissions retest at an official testing station, the
operator of the official testing station or the Department

HB3655 Engrossed - 1651 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall place the vehicle out-of-service in accordance with the
rules promulgated by the Department. Operating a vehicle that
has been placed out-of-service under this subsection (c) is a
petty offense punishable by a $1,000 fine. The vehicle must
pass a diesel emission inspection at an official testing
station before it is again placed in service. The Secretary of
State, Illinois Department of State Police, and other law
enforcement officers shall enforce this Section. No emergency
vehicle, as defined in Section 1-105, may be placed
out-of-service pursuant to this Section.
The Department or an official testing station may issue a
certificate of waiver subsequent to a reinspection of a
vehicle that failed the emissions inspection. Certificate of
waiver shall be issued upon determination that documented
proof demonstrates that emissions repair costs for the
noncompliant vehicle of at least $3,000 have been spent in an
effort to achieve compliance with the emission standards set
forth in subsection (b). The Department of Transportation
shall adopt rules for the implementation of this subsection
including standards of documented proof as well as the
criteria by which a waiver shall be granted.

Sec. 15-112. Officers to weigh vehicles and require
removal of excess loads.
(a) Any police officer having reason to believe that the
weight of a vehicle and load is unlawful shall require the
driver to stop and submit to a weighing of the same either by
means of a portable or stationary scales that have been tested
and approved at a frequency prescribed by the Illinois
Department of Agriculture, or for those scales operated by the
State, when such tests are requested by the Illinois
Department of State Police, whichever is more frequent. If

HB3655 Engrossed - 1660 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
such scales are not available at the place where such vehicle
is stopped, the police officer shall require that such vehicle
be driven to the nearest available scale that has been tested
and approved pursuant to this Section by the Illinois
Department of Agriculture. Notwithstanding any provisions of
the Weights and Measures Act or the United States Department
of Commerce NIST handbook 44, multi or single draft weighing
is an acceptable method of weighing by law enforcement for
determining a violation of Chapter 3 or 15 of this Code. Law
enforcement is exempt from the requirements of commercial
weighing established in NIST handbook 44.
Within 18 months after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, all municipal and
county officers, technicians, and employees who set up and
operate portable scales for wheel load or axle load or both and
issue citations based on the use of portable scales for wheel
load or axle load or both and who have not successfully
completed initial classroom and field training regarding the
set up and operation of portable scales, shall attend and
successfully complete initial classroom and field training
administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
Standards Board.
(b) Whenever an officer, upon weighing a vehicle and the
load, determines that the weight is unlawful, such officer
shall require the driver to stop the vehicle in a suitable
place and remain standing until such portion of the load is

HB3655 Engrossed - 1661 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
removed as may be necessary to reduce the weight of the vehicle
to the limit permitted under this Chapter, or to the limit
permitted under the terms of a permit issued pursuant to
Sections 15-301 through 15-318 and shall forthwith arrest the
driver or owner. All material so unloaded shall be cared for by
the owner or operator of the vehicle at the risk of such owner
or operator; however, whenever a 3 or 4 axle vehicle with a
tandem axle dimension greater than 72 inches, but less than 96
inches and registered as a Special Hauling Vehicle is
transporting asphalt or concrete in the plastic state that
exceeds axle weight or gross weight limits by less than 4,000
pounds, the owner or operator of the vehicle shall accept the
arrest ticket or tickets for the alleged violations under this
Section and proceed without shifting or reducing the load
being transported or may shift or reduce the load under the
provisions of subsection (d) or (e) of this Section, when
applicable. Any fine imposed following an overweight violation

16-105 of this Code.
(c) The Department of Transportation may, at the request
of the Illinois Department of State Police, erect appropriate

portable regulating signs on any highway directing second
division vehicles to a portable scale. Every such vehicle,
pursuant to such sign, shall stop and be weighed.
(d) Whenever any axle load of a vehicle exceeds the axle or
tandem axle weight limits permitted by paragraph (a) of
Section 15-111 by 2000 pounds or less, the owner or operator of
the vehicle must shift or remove the excess so as to comply
with paragraph (a) of Section 15-111. No overweight arrest
ticket shall be issued to the owner or operator of the vehicle
by any officer if the excess weight is shifted or removed as
required by this paragraph.
(e) Whenever the gross weight of a vehicle with a
registered gross weight of 77,000 pounds or less exceeds the
weight limits of paragraph (a) of Section 15-111 of this
Chapter by 2000 pounds or less, the owner or operator of the
vehicle must remove the excess. Whenever the gross weight of a
vehicle with a registered gross weight over 77,000 pounds or
more exceeds the weight limits of paragraph (a) of Section
15-111 by 1,000 pounds or less or 2,000 pounds or less if
weighed on wheel load weighers, the owner or operator of the
vehicle must remove the excess. In either case no arrest
ticket for any overweight violation of this Code shall be
issued to the owner or operator of the vehicle by any officer
if the excess weight is removed as required by this paragraph.
A person who has been granted a special permit under Section
15-301 of this Code shall not be granted a tolerance on wheel

HB3655 Engrossed - 1663 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
load weighers.
(e-5) Auxiliary power or idle reduction unit (APU) weight.
(1) A vehicle with a fully functional APU shall be
allowed an additional 550 pounds or the certified unit
weight, whichever is less. The additional pounds may be
allowed in gross, axles, or bridge formula weight limits
above the legal weight limits except when overweight on an
axle or axles of the towed unit or units in combination.
This tolerance shall be given in addition to the limits in
subsection (d) of this Section.
(2) An operator of a vehicle equipped with an APU
shall carry written certification showing the weight of
the APU, which shall be displayed upon the request of any
law enforcement officer.
(3) The operator may be required to demonstrate or
certify that the APU is fully functional at all times.
(4) This allowance may not be granted above the weight
limits specified on any loads permitted under Section
15-301 of this Code.
(f) Whenever an axle load of a vehicle exceeds axle weight
limits allowed by the provisions of a permit an arrest ticket
shall be issued, but the owner or operator of the vehicle may
shift the load so as to comply with the provisions of the
permit. Where such shifting of a load to comply with the permit
is accomplished, the owner or operator of the vehicle may then
proceed.

HB3655 Engrossed - 1664 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(g) Any driver of a vehicle who refuses to stop and submit
his vehicle and load to weighing after being directed to do so
by an officer or removes or causes the removal of the load or
part of it prior to weighing is guilty of a business offense
and shall be fined not less than $500 nor more than $2,000.

receipt or receipts for notice by certified mail, or
certificate or certificates of publication have been filed in

HB3655 Engrossed - 1760 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

and correct the conditions that require the child to be in
care, or risk termination of parental rights.

(2) If, pursuant to subsection (1) of this Section, the
court determines and puts in writing the factual basis
supporting the determination that the minor is either abused
or neglected or dependent, the court shall then set a time not
later than 30 days after the entry of the finding for a
dispositional hearing (unless an earlier date is required
pursuant to Section 2-13.1) to be conducted under Section 2-22
at which hearing the court shall determine whether it is
consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the

the dispositional hearing, the court may order that an
investigation be conducted and a dispositional report be
prepared concerning the minor's physical and mental history

HB3655 Engrossed - 1762 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and condition, family situation and background, economic
status, education, occupation, history of delinquency or

continued once for a period not to exceed 30 days if the court
finds that such continuance is necessary to complete the
dispositional report.
(3) The time limits of this Section may be waived only by
consent of all parties and approval by the court, as

(ii) the court has found by a preponderance of
evidence, introduced or stipulated to at an adjudicatory
hearing, that the child comes under the jurisdiction of
the court as an abused, neglected, or dependent minor
under Section 2-18; and

HB3655 Engrossed - 1763 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(iii) the court finds, on the basis of clear and
convincing evidence admitted at the adjudicatory hearing
that the parent is an unfit person under subdivision D of
Section 1 of the Adoption Act; and
(iv) the court determines in accordance with the rules
of evidence for dispositional proceedings, that:
(A) it is in the best interest of the minor and
public that the child be made a ward of the court;
(A-5) reasonable efforts under subsection (l-1) of
Section 5 of the Children and Family Services Act are
inappropriate or such efforts were made and were
unsuccessful; and
(B) termination of parental rights and appointment
of a guardian with power to consent to adoption is in

sought who is neither a parent, guardian, legal custodian or

party or respondent as defined in that Section and shall not be
entitled to the rights provided therein. Such person does not
have a right to appointed counsel or to be present at any
hearing other than the hearing in which the order of
protection is being sought or a hearing directly pertaining to
that order. Unless the court orders otherwise, such person
does not have a right to inspect the court file.

file proof of such service, in the manner provided for service
of process in civil proceedings. The person against whom the
protective order was obtained may seek a modification of the
order by filing a written motion to modify the order within 7
days after actual receipt by the person of a copy of the order.
Any modification of the order granted by the court must be
determined to be consistent with the best interests of the
minor.
(9) If a petition is filed charging a violation of a

HB3655 Engrossed - 1768 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
condition contained in the protective order and if the court
determines that this violation is of a critical service
necessary to the safety and welfare of the minor, the court may

that tend to make the home not a proper place for the

(2) The court shall enter an order of protection to

HB3655 Engrossed - 1792 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
prohibit and prevent any contact between a respondent minor or
a sibling of a respondent minor and any person named in a

shall furnish a copy of the order of protection to the Illinois
Department of State Police within 24 hours of receipt, in the
form and manner required by the Department. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall maintain a complete record
and index of the orders of protection and make this data
available to all local law enforcement agencies.
(4) After notice and opportunity for hearing afforded to a
person subject to an order of protection, the order may be
modified or extended for a further specified period or both or
may be terminated if the court finds that the best interests of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1793 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the minor and the public will be served by the modification,
extension, or termination.
(5) An order of protection may be sought at any time during
the course of any proceeding conducted under this Act. Any
person against whom an order of protection is sought may
retain counsel to represent him or her at a hearing, and has
rights to be present at the hearing, to be informed prior to
the hearing in writing of the contents of the petition seeking
a protective order and of the date, place, and time of the
hearing, and to cross-examine witnesses called by the
petitioner and to present witnesses and argument in opposition
to the relief sought in the petition.

serve any person or persons against whom any order of
protection is sought with written notice of the contents of
the petition seeking a protective order and of the date, place
and time at which the hearing on the petition is to be held.
When a protective order is being sought in conjunction with a
shelter care or detention hearing, if the court finds that the
person against whom the protective order is being sought has
been notified of the hearing or that diligent efforts have
been made to notify the person, the court may conduct a
hearing. If a protective order is sought at any time other than
in conjunction with a shelter care or detention hearing, the
court may not conduct a hearing on the petition in the absence
of the person against whom the order is sought unless the

HB3655 Engrossed - 1794 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
petitioner has notified the person by personal service at
least 3 days before the hearing or has sent written notice by
first class mail to the person's last known address at least 5
days before the hearing.
(7) A person against whom an order of protection is being
sought who is neither a parent, guardian, or legal custodian
or responsible relative as described in Section 1-5 of this
Act or is not a party or respondent as defined in that Section
shall not be entitled to the rights provided in that Section.
The person does not have a right to appointed counsel or to be
present at any hearing other than the hearing in which the
order of protection is being sought or a hearing directly
pertaining to that order. Unless the court orders otherwise,
the person does not have a right to inspect the court file.
(8) All protective orders entered under this Section shall
be in writing. Unless the person against whom the order was
obtained was present in court when the order was issued, the
sheriff, other law enforcement official, or special process
server shall promptly serve that order upon that person and
file proof of that service, in the manner provided for service
of process in civil proceedings. The person against whom the
protective order was obtained may seek a modification of the
order by filing a written motion to modify the order within 7
days after actual receipt by the person of a copy of the order.

juvenile court records are not eligible for automatic
expungement under subsection (0.1), (0.2), or (0.3), the
person may petition the court at any time for expungement of
juvenile law enforcement records and juvenile court records
relating to the incident and, upon termination of all juvenile
court proceedings relating to that incident, the court shall
order the expungement of all records in the possession of the
Illinois Department of State Police, the clerk of the circuit
court, and law enforcement agencies relating to the incident,
but only in any of the following circumstances:
(a) the minor was arrested and no petition for
delinquency was filed with the clerk of the circuit court;
(a-5) the minor was charged with an offense and the
petition or petitions were dismissed without a finding of
delinquency;
(b) the minor was charged with an offense and was

HB3655 Engrossed - 1808 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
found not delinquent of that offense;
(c) the minor was placed under supervision under
Section 5-615, and the order of supervision has since been
successfully terminated; or
(d) the minor was adjudicated for an offense which
would be a Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a

(2) Any person whose delinquency adjudications are not
eligible for automatic expungement under subsection (0.3) of
this Section may petition the court to expunge all juvenile
law enforcement records relating to any incidents occurring
before his or her 18th birthday which did not result in
proceedings in criminal court and all juvenile court records
with respect to any adjudications except those based upon
first degree murder or an offense under Article 11 of the
Criminal Code of 2012 if the person is required to register
under the Sex Offender Registration Act at the time he or she

HB3655 Engrossed - 1809 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
petitions the court for expungement; provided that: (a)
(blank); or (b) 2 years have elapsed since all juvenile court
proceedings relating to him or her have been terminated and
his or her commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice
under this Act has been terminated.
(2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for
delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court at the
time the minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if
applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or
the minor's parents or guardians that the minor shall have an
arrest record and shall provide the minor and the minor's
parents or guardians with an expungement information packet,
information regarding this State's expungement laws including
a petition to expunge juvenile law enforcement and juvenile
court records obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
(2.6) If a minor is referred to court, then, at the time of
sentencing, or dismissal of the case, or successful completion
of supervision, the judge shall inform the delinquent minor of
his or her rights regarding expungement and the clerk of the
circuit court shall provide an expungement information packet
to the minor, written in plain language, including information
regarding this State's expungement laws and a petition for
expungement, a sample of a completed petition, expungement
instructions that shall include information informing the
minor that (i) once the case is expunged, it shall be treated

HB3655 Engrossed - 1810 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

petition fees waived, (iii) once he or she obtains an
expungement, he or she may not be required to disclose that he
or she had a juvenile law enforcement or juvenile court
record, and (iv) if petitioning he or she may file the petition
on his or her own or with the assistance of an attorney. The
failure of the judge to inform the delinquent minor of his or
her right to petition for expungement as provided by law does
not create a substantive right, nor is that failure grounds
for: (i) a reversal of an adjudication of delinquency; , (ii) a
new trial; or (iii) an appeal.

(6.5) The Illinois Department of State Police or any
employee of the Illinois State Police Department shall be

HB3655 Engrossed - 1811 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
immune from civil or criminal liability for failure to expunge
any records of arrest that are subject to expungement under
this Section because of inability to verify a record. Nothing
in this Section shall create Illinois Department of State
Police liability or responsibility for the expungement of
juvenile law enforcement records it does not possess.

(7.5) (Blank).
(8)(a) (Blank). (b) (Blank). (c) The expungement of
juvenile law enforcement or juvenile court records under
subsection (0.1), (0.2), or (0.3) of this Section shall be
funded by appropriation by the General Assembly for that
purpose.

device at the time of seizure. Such hearing shall be commenced
by a written petition by the State, including material
allegations of fact, the name and address of every person
determined by the State to have any property interest in the
seized property, a representation that written notice of the
date, time and place of such hearing has been mailed to every
such person by certified mail at least 10 days before such
date, and a request for forfeiture. Every such person may
appear as a party and present evidence at such hearing. The
quantum of proof required shall be a preponderance of the
evidence, and the burden of proof shall be on the State. If the
court determines that the seized property was a gambling
device at the time of seizure, an order of forfeiture and
disposition of the seized property shall be entered: a
gambling device shall be received by the State's Attorney, who

HB3655 Engrossed - 1872 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall effect its destruction, except that valuable parts
thereof may be liquidated and the resultant money shall be
deposited in the general fund of the county wherein such
seizure occurred; money and other things of value shall be
received by the State's Attorney and, upon liquidation, shall
be deposited in the general fund of the county wherein such
seizure occurred. However, in the event that a defendant
raises the defense that the seized slot machine is an antique
slot machine described in subparagraph (b) (7) of Section 28-1
of this Code and therefore he is exempt from the charge of a
gambling activity participant, the seized antique slot machine
shall not be destroyed or otherwise altered until a final
determination is made by the Court as to whether it is such an
antique slot machine. Upon a final determination by the Court
of this question in favor of the defendant, such slot machine
shall be immediately returned to the defendant. Such order of
forfeiture and disposition shall, for the purposes of appeal,
be a final order and judgment in a civil proceeding.
(d) If a seizure pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this
Section is not followed by a charge pursuant to subparagraph
(c) of this Section, or if the prosecution of such charge is
permanently terminated or indefinitely discontinued without
any judgment of conviction or acquittal (1) the State's
Attorney shall commence an in rem proceeding for the
forfeiture and destruction of a gambling device, or for the
forfeiture and deposit in the general fund of the county of any

HB3655 Engrossed - 1873 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
seized money or other things of value, or both, in the circuit
court and (2) any person having any property interest in such
seized gambling device, money or other thing of value may
commence separate civil proceedings in the manner provided by
law.
(e) Any gambling device displayed for sale to a riverboat
gambling operation, casino gambling operation, or organization
gaming facility or used to train occupational licensees of a
riverboat gambling operation, casino gambling operation, or
organization gaming facility as authorized under the Illinois
Gambling Act is exempt from seizure under this Section.

by a licensed supplier in accordance with the Illinois
Gambling Act which are removed from a riverboat, casino, or
organization gaming facility for repair are exempt from
seizure under this Section.

seizure under this Section:
(1) Video gaming terminals for sale to a licensed
distributor or operator under the Video Gaming Act.

(a) Upon application of the State, the court may enter a
restraining order or injunction, require the execution of a
satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action to
preserve the availability of property described in Section

HB3655 Engrossed - 1878 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
29B-5 of this Article for forfeiture under this Article:
(1) upon the filing of an indictment, information, or
complaint charging a violation of this Article for which
forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and alleging
that the property with respect to which the order is
sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Article;
or
(2) prior to the filing of the indictment,
information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons
appearing to have an interest in the property and
opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
(A) there is probable cause to believe that the
State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and that
failure to enter the order will result in the property
being destroyed, removed from the jurisdiction of the
court, or otherwise made unavailable for forfeiture;
and
(B) the need to preserve the availability of the
property through the entry of the requested order
outweighs the hardship on any party against whom the
order is to be entered.
Provided, however, that an order entered under
paragraph (2) of this Section shall be effective for not
more than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good
cause shown or unless an indictment, information,
complaint, or administrative notice has been filed.

(b) A temporary restraining order under this subsection
(b) may be entered upon application of the State without
notice or opportunity for a hearing when an indictment,
information, complaint, or administrative notice has not yet
been filed with respect to the property, if the State
demonstrates that there is probable cause to believe that the
property with respect to which the order is sought would be
subject to forfeiture under this Article and that provision of
notice will jeopardize the availability of the property for
forfeiture. The temporary order shall expire not more than 30
days after the date on which it is entered, unless extended for
good cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered
consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing

designated by the Illinois Department of State Police. Failure
to comply with an order under this Section is punishable as a

civil or criminal contempt of court.
(e) The State may request the issuance of a warrant
authorizing the seizure of property described in Section 29B-5

(c) A law enforcement agency shall not retain forfeited

this Article shall be distributed as follows:
(1) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan
enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State law
enforcement agency or agencies that conducted or
participated in the investigation resulting in the
forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable
relationship to the degree of direct participation of the

provided under this subparagraph (i) shall be distributed

provisions:

HB3655 Engrossed - 1973 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) The court shall not impose a sentence of
imprisonment upon the offender if the court believes that
because of his disability a sentence of imprisonment would
not serve the ends of justice and the interests of society
and the offender or that because of his disability a
sentence of imprisonment would subject the offender to
excessive hardship. In addition to any other conditions of
a sentence of conditional discharge or probation the court
may require that the offender undergo treatment
appropriate to his mental or physical condition.
(2) After imposing a sentence of imprisonment upon an
offender who has a mental disability, the court may remand
him to the custody of the Department of Human Services and
order a hearing to be conducted pursuant to the provisions
of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code,
as now or hereafter amended. If the offender is committed
following such hearing, he shall be treated in the same
manner as any other civilly committed patient for all
purposes except as provided in this Section. If the
defendant is not committed pursuant to such hearing, he
shall be remanded to the sentencing court for disposition

prescribed by the Illinois Department of State Police and
shall forward a copy of the court order to the Department.
(4) If the court imposes a sentence of imprisonment
upon an offender who has a physical disability, it may
authorize the Department of Corrections to place the
offender in a public or private facility which is able to
provide care or treatment for the offender's disability
and which agrees to do so.
(5) When an offender is placed with the Department of
Human Services or another facility pursuant to
subparagraph (2) or (4) of this paragraph (c), the
Department or private facility shall not discharge or
allow the offender to be at large in the community without
prior approval of the court. If the defendant is placed in
the custody of the Department of Human Services, the
defendant shall be placed in a secure setting unless the
court determines that there are compelling reasons why
such placement is not necessary. The offender shall accrue
good time and shall be eligible for parole in the same

HB3655 Engrossed - 1975 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
manner as if he were serving his sentence within the
Department of Corrections. When the offender no longer
requires hospitalization, care, or treatment, the
Department of Human Services or the facility shall
transfer him, if his sentence has not expired, to the
Department of Corrections. If an offender is transferred
to the Department of Corrections, the Department of Human
Services shall transfer to the Department of Corrections
all related records pertaining to length of custody and
treatment services provided during the time the offender

offender has been placed pursuant to subparagraph (2) or
(4) of paragraph (c) of this Section of the expiration of

committed patient for all purposes including discharge. An
offender who is in a facility pursuant to subparagraph (4)
of paragraph (c) of this Section shall be informed by the
facility of the expiration of his sentence, and shall
either consent to the continuation of his care or
treatment by the facility or shall be discharged.

Sec. 110-7. Deposit of bail security.
(a) The person for whom bail has been set shall execute the
bail bond and deposit with the clerk of the court before which

HB3655 Engrossed - 1994 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the proceeding is pending a sum of money equal to 10% of the
bail, but in no event shall such deposit be less than $25. The
clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a
person other than the accused who has provided the money for
the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an
accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a
person other than the accused has provided the money for the
posting of bail. The form shall also include a written notice
to such person who has provided the defendant with the money
for the posting of bail indicating that the bail may be used to
pay costs, attorney's fees, fines, or other purposes
authorized by the court and if the defendant fails to comply
with the conditions of the bail bond, the court shall enter an
order declaring the bail to be forfeited. The written notice
must be: (1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in
bold type or underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2
points larger than the surrounding type. When a person for
whom bail has been set is charged with an offense under the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act which is a Class X
felony, or making a terrorist threat in violation of Section
29D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
2012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a terrorist
threat, the court may require the defendant to deposit a sum
equal to 100% of the bail. Where any person is charged with a
forcible felony while free on bail and is the subject of

HB3655 Engrossed - 1995 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
proceedings under Section 109-3 of this Code the judge
conducting the preliminary examination may also conduct a
hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to the
provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or revoke
the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.
(b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized
by law, the person shall be released from custody subject to
the conditions of the bail bond.
(c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is
thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of
this Code.
(d) After conviction the court may order that the original
bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce
bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
(e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing
or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the
reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal
subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
(f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
performed and the accused has been discharged from all
obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to
the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment

HB3655 Engrossed - 1996 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the
court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been
deposited and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount
deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by
the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as
bail bond costs exceed $100. Bail bond deposited by or on
behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's
discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same
defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court
costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of
record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more,
the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf
of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial
obligations of that same defendant in a different case until
the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and
attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been
deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are
satisfied. In counties with a population of less than
3,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or
on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy
financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
At the request of the defendant the court may order such

HB3655 Engrossed - 1997 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
90% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is
repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
defendant's attorney of record.
(g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
last known address. If the accused does not appear and
surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
court that appearance and surrender by the accused is
impossible and without his fault the court shall enter
judgment for the State if the charge for which the bond was
given was a felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was
quasi-criminal or traffic, judgment for the political
subdivision of the State which prosecuted the case, against
the accused for the amount of the bail and costs of the court
proceedings; however, in counties with a population of less
than 3,000,000, instead of the court entering a judgment for
the full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion,
enter judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs,
retain the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond
was posted for failure to appear in a matter involving
enforcement of child support or maintenance, the amount of the
cash deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be
awarded to the person or entity to whom the child support or

HB3655 Engrossed - 1998 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
maintenance is due. The deposit made in accordance with
paragraph (a) shall be applied to the payment of costs. If
judgment is entered and any amount of such deposit remains
after the payment of costs it shall be applied to payment of
the judgment and transferred to the treasury of the municipal
corporation wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a
violation of any penal ordinance of a political subdivision of
this State, or to the treasury of the county wherein the bond
was taken if the offense was a violation of any penal statute
of this State. The balance of the judgment may be enforced and
collected in the same manner as a judgment entered in a civil
action.
(h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either
is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
to the payment of the judgment.
(i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged
violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of
2012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish
and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or
a comparable offense of a unit of local government as
specified in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does
not appear in court on the date set for appearance or any date
to which the case may be continued and the court issues an
arrest warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure

HB3655 Engrossed - 1999 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
to appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by
the court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall
be assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall
be a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the
court. The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the
accused is required to deposit for the offense for which the
accused has been charged and may not be used for the payment of
court costs or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the
court shall remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting
agency who brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the
Illinois Department of State Police is the arresting agency,
$70 of the fee assessed shall be remitted by the clerk of the
court to the State Treasurer within one month after receipt
for deposit into the State Police Operations Assistance Fund.
The clerk of the court shall remit $5 of the fee assessed to
the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund as
provided in Section 27.3d of the Clerks of Courts Act.

may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after
arraignment, for the purpose of notification to the Illinois
Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
Office, serve on the defendant and file with the court a notice
alleging that conviction of the offense would subject the
defendant to the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because
of the relationship between the defendant and the alleged
victim and the nature of the alleged offense.
(b) The notice shall include the name of the person
alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the
nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of
physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include
notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the
allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation
is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
reported to the Illinois Department of State Police Firearm
Owner's Identification Card Office.
(c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section

HB3655 Engrossed - 2001 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,
or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay
evidence submitted by either party provided that it is
relevant to the determination of the allegation. Facts
previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of entry of
a plea of guilty shall be deemed established beyond a
reasonable doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the
conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission,
as applicable, the court shall make a specific written
determination with respect to the allegation.

notification and a copy of the written determination in a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2002 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
report of the conviction to the Illinois Department of State
Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office to enable

(725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
remedies.
(a) (Blank).
(b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
available to petitioner.
(1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
harassment, interference with personal liberty,
intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
prohibited.
(2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner

HB3655 Engrossed - 2003 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act.
(A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
person or entity other than the opposing party that
authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
(B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
(B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
residence or household) or from loss of possession of
the residence or household (should petitioner leave to

HB3655 Engrossed - 2004 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
of hardships, the court shall also take into account
the accessibility of the residence or household.
Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
have a right to occupancy.
The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
that the hardships to respondent substantially
outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
household.
(3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
person protected by the domestic violence order of
protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
employment, or other specified places at times when
petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
respondent has no right to enter the premises.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2005 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(A) If a domestic violence order of protection
grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
items of clothing and personal adornment used
exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
items as the court directs. The right to access shall
be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
party or law enforcement officer.
(B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
domestic violence order of protection 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2006 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 change of 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 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 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2007 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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. If 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.
(C) 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. If
the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
custodian of the respondent is responsible for
transportation and other costs associated with the
change of school by the respondent.
(4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,

HB3655 Engrossed - 2008 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
agency providing services to elders, program designed for
domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
approved partner abuse intervention program for an
assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
(5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
in loco parentis.
If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
respondent would not be in the minor child's best
interest.
(6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois

HB3655 Engrossed - 2009 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
would not be in the child's best interest.
(7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
physical care or temporary significant decision-making
responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
is likely to do any of the following:
(i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
parenting time;
(ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
household members;
(iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
child; or
(iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
best interests of the minor child.
The court shall not be limited by the standards set
forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and

HB3655 Engrossed - 2010 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
any member of petitioner's family or household from future
abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
acknowledging accountability to the court.
(8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
concealing the child within the State.
(9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return

HB3655 Engrossed - 2011 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
child or the respondent.
(10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
exclusive possession of personal property and, if
respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
(i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
property; or
(ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
petitioner.
If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
property is that it is marital property, the court may
award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
hereafter amended.
No order under this provision shall affect title to
property.
(11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal

HB3655 Engrossed - 2012 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
if:
(i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
property; or
(ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
granting this remedy.
If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
property is that it is marital property, the court may
grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
now or hereafter amended.
The court may further prohibit respondent from
improperly using the financial or other resources of an
aged member of the family or household for the profit or
advantage of respondent or of any other person.
(11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
residence or household of either the petitioner or the
respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
otherwise disposing of the animal.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2013 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
income to secure payment. An order for child support may
be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
significant decision-making responsibility unless
otherwise provided in the order.
(13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
other travel expenses, including additional reasonable
expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
(i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is

HB3655 Engrossed - 2014 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
property distribution from the other party under the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
now or hereafter amended, the court may order
respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
the extent that such reimbursement would be
"appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
(ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
investigator fees, and travel costs.
(14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
from entering or remaining in the residence or household
while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
(14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
(A) A person who is subject to an existing
domestic violence order of protection issued under
this Code may not lawfully possess weapons under
Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card
Act.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2015 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(B) Any firearms in the possession of the
respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court
to be turned over to a person with a valid Firearm
Owner's Identification Card for safekeeping. The court
shall issue an order that the respondent's Firearm
Owner's Identification Card be turned over to the
local law enforcement agency, which in turn shall
immediately mail the card to the Illinois Department
of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
Office for safekeeping. The period of safekeeping
shall be for the duration of the domestic violence
order of protection. The firearm or firearms and
Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired,
shall at the respondent's request be returned to the
respondent at expiration of the domestic violence
order of protection.
(C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
the court shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
enforcement executive of the agency in which the
respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic
violence order of protection.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2016 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
firearms for training purposes, or for any other
application as deemed appropriate by the local law
enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
possess firearms, and who does not reside with
respondent.
(15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic
violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from
inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain,
school or any other records of the minor child who is in
the care of petitioner.
(16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary

HB3655 Engrossed - 2017 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
deemed reasonable by the court.
(17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction
is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to
establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
(18) Telephone services.
(A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
(B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
indicated by the petitioner and the financial
responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In
this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
service provider" means a provider of commercial
mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The
petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone
number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2018 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve
the order on the wireless telephone service provider's
agent for service of process provided to the Illinois
Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of
the following:
(i) The name and billing telephone number of
the account holder including the name of the
wireless telephone service provider that serves
the account.
(ii) Each telephone number that will be
transferred.
(iii) A statement that the provider transfers
to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
and right to the use of any telephone number
transferred under this paragraph.
(B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
hours after it receives the order, that one of the
following applies:
(i) The account holder named in the order has
terminated the account.
(ii) A difference in network technology would
prevent or impair the functionality of a device on

HB3655 Engrossed - 2019 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a network if the transfer occurs.
(iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
other limitation on network or service provision
to the petitioner.
(iv) Another technological or operational
issue would prevent or impair the use of the
telephone number if the transfer occurs.
(C) The petitioner assumes all financial
responsibility for and right to the use of any
telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
monthly service costs and costs associated with any
mobile device associated with the number.
(D) A wireless telephone service provider may
apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
requirements for establishing an account or
transferring a number, including requiring the
petitioner to provide proof of identification,
financial information, and customer preferences.
(E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
wireless telephone service provider is immune from
civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
with a court order issued under this paragraph.
(F) All wireless service providers that provide
services to residential customers shall provide to the
Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2020 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
an agent for service of orders entered under this
paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
Commission within 30 days of such change.
(G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
maintain the list of registered agents for service for
each wireless telephone service provider on the
Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
is provided and displayed.
(c) Relevant factors; findings.
(1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
other than payment of support, the court shall consider
relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
following:
(i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
petitioner or any family or household member,
including the concealment of his or her location in
order to evade service of process or notice, and the
likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
household; and
(ii) the danger that any minor child will be
abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2021 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
or improperly separated from the child's primary
caretaker.
(2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
limited to, the following:
(i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
alternate housing for each party and any minor child
or dependent adult in the party's care;
(ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
(iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
care, to family, school, church, and community.
(3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
(4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
a minimum set forth the following:
(i) That the court has considered the applicable
relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
of this subsection (c).
(ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
or continued abuse.
(iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2022 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
other alleged abused persons.
(4) (Blank).
(5) Never married parties. No rights or
responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
child relationship has been established under the Illinois
Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
administrative, or other act of another state or
territory, any other statute of this State, or by any
foreign nation establishing the father and child
relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both
parties appeared in open court or at an administrative
hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by
affirmation the existence of a father and child
relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor

HB3655 Engrossed - 2023 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
child be entered.
(d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
(e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
(1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
(2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
(3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
of 2012;
(4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
of another;
(5) petitioner left the residence or household to
avoid further abuse by respondent;
(6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2024 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(7) conduct by any family or household member excused
the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
or household members.

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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2025 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 other injunctive relief the court determines
to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
specifically named by the court.
(b) 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2026 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 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.
If 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2027 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
associated with the transfer or change.
(c) 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. If 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 the change
of school by the respondent.
(d) 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.
(e) 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 Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
conduct.
(f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
(g) 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2028 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Card and immediately return the card to the Illinois
Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
Office.

Sec. 112A-17.5. Ex parte protective orders.
(a) The petitioner may request expedited consideration of
the petition for an ex parte protective order. The court shall
consider the request on an expedited basis without requiring
the respondent's presence or requiring notice to the
respondent.
(b) Issuance of ex parte protective orders in cases
involving domestic violence. An ex parte domestic violence
order of protection shall be issued if petitioner satisfies
the requirements of this subsection (b) for one or more of the
requested remedies. For each remedy requested, petitioner
shall establish that:
(1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
this Code;
(2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
(3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
regardless of prior service of process or notice upon the
respondent, because:
(A) for the remedy of prohibition of abuse

HB3655 Engrossed - 2029 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code; stay away order and
additional prohibitions described in paragraph (3) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
removal or concealment of minor child described in
paragraph (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
this Code; order to appear described in paragraph (9)
of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
physical care and possession of the minor child
described in paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code; protection of property
described in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of entry
described in paragraph (14) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of firearm
possession described in paragraph (14.5) of subsection
(b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of
access to records described in paragraph (15) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
injunctive relief described in paragraph (16) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; and
telephone services described in paragraph (18) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, the
harm which that remedy is intended to prevent would be
likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior
notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2030 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;
(B) for the remedy of grant of exclusive
possession of residence described in paragraph (2) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; the
immediate danger of further abuse of the petitioner by
the respondent, if the petitioner chooses or had
chosen to remain in the residence or household while
the respondent was given any prior notice or greater
notice than was actually given of the petitioner's
efforts to obtain judicial relief outweighs the
hardships to the respondent of an emergency order
granting the petitioner exclusive possession of the
residence or household; and the remedy shall not be
denied because the petitioner has or could obtain
temporary shelter elsewhere while prior notice is
given to the respondent, unless the hardship to the
respondent from exclusion from the home substantially
outweigh the hardship to the petitioner; or
(C) for the remedy of possession of personal
property described in paragraph (10) of subsection (b)
of Section 112A-14 of this Code; improper disposition
of the personal property would be likely to occur if
the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
efforts to obtain judicial relief or the petitioner
has an immediate and pressing need for the possession

HB3655 Engrossed - 2031 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of that property.
An ex parte domestic violence order of protection may not
include the counseling, custody, or payment of support or
monetary compensation remedies provided by paragraphs (4),
(12), (13), and (16) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
this Code.
(c) Issuance of ex parte civil no contact order in cases
involving sexual offenses. An ex parte civil no contact order
shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that:
(1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
this Code;
(2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
(3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
the respondent, because the harm which that remedy is
intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice
than was actually given, of the petitioner's efforts to
obtain judicial relief.
The court may order any of the remedies under Section
112A-14.5 of this Code.
(d) Issuance of ex parte stalking no contact order in
cases involving stalking offenses. An ex parte stalking no
contact order shall be issued if the petitioner establishes
that:

HB3655 Engrossed - 2032 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of
this Code;
(2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and
(3) there is good cause to grant the remedy,
regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
the respondent, because the harm which that remedy is
intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice
than was actually given, of the petitioner's efforts to
obtain judicial relief.
The court may order any of the remedies under Section
112A-14.7 of this Code.
(e) Issuance of ex parte protective orders on court
holidays and evenings.
When the court is unavailable at the close of business,
the petitioner may file a petition for an ex parte protective
order before any available circuit judge or associate judge
who may grant relief under this Article. If the judge finds
that petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites in subsection
(b), (c), or (d) of this Section, the judge shall issue an ex
parte protective order.
The chief judge of the circuit court may designate for
each county in the circuit at least one judge to be reasonably
available to issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or
otherwise, an ex parte protective order at all times, whether

HB3655 Engrossed - 2033 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or not the court is in session.
The judge who issued the order under this Section shall
promptly communicate or convey the order to the sheriff to
facilitate the entry of the order into the Law Enforcement
Agencies Data System by the Illinois Department of State
Police under Section 112A-28 of this Code. Any order issued
under this Section and any documentation in support of it
shall be certified on the next court day to the appropriate
court. The clerk of that court shall immediately assign a case
number, file the petition, order, and other documents with the
court and enter the order of record and file it with the
sheriff for service under subsection (f) of this Section.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this subsection (e)
shall not affect the validity of the order.
(f) Service of ex parte protective order on respondent.
(1) If an ex parte protective order is entered at the
time a summons or arrest warrant is issued for the
criminal charge, the petition for the protective order,
any supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte
protective order that has been issued shall be served with
the summons or arrest warrant. The enforcement of a
protective order under Section 112A-23 of this Code shall
not be affected by the lack of service or delivery,
provided the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
112A-23 of this Code are otherwise met.
(2) If an ex parte protective order is entered after a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2034 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
summons or arrest warrant is issued and before the
respondent makes an initial appearance in the criminal
case, the summons shall be in the form prescribed by
subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101, except that it
shall require respondent to answer or appear within 7 days
and shall be accompanied by the petition for the
protective order, any supporting affidavits, if any, and
the ex parte protective order that has been issued.
(3) If an ex parte protective order is entered after
the respondent has been served notice of a petition for a
final protective order and the respondent has requested a
continuance to respond to the petition, the ex parte
protective order shall be served: (A) in open court if the
respondent is present at the proceeding at which the order
was entered; or (B) by summons in the form prescribed by
subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101.
(4) No fee shall be charged for service of summons.
(5) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or
other law enforcement officer at the earliest time and
shall take precedence over other summonses except those of
a similar emergency nature. Special process servers may be
appointed at any time, and their designation shall not
affect the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff
or other official process servers. In a county with a
population over 3,000,000, a special process server may
not be appointed if an ex parte protective order grants

HB3655 Engrossed - 2035 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the surrender of a child, the surrender of a firearm or
Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the exclusive
possession of a shared residence. Process may be served in
court.
(g) Upon 7 days' notice to the petitioner, or a shorter
notice period as the court may prescribe, a respondent subject
to an ex parte protective order may appear and petition the
court to re-hear the petition. Any petition to re-hear shall
be verified and shall allege the following:
(1) that respondent did not receive prior notice of
the initial hearing in which the ex parte protective order
was entered under Section 112A-17.5 of this Code; and
(2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the
order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of
its remedies was not authorized under this Article.
The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the
evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at
a hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at
the hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense
by a preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to
vacate the protective order or modify the remedies.
(h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner
exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of
respondent seeks to re-open or vacate that grant, the court
shall set a date for hearing within 14 days on all issues
relating to exclusive possession. Under no circumstances shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 2036 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
a court continue a hearing concerning exclusive possession
beyond the 14th day except by agreement of the petitioner and
the respondent. Other issues raised by the pleadings may be
consolidated for the hearing if the petitioner, the
respondent, and the court do not object.
(i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte
order shall remain in effect until the court considers the
request for a final protective order after notice has been
served on the respondent or a default final protective order
is entered, whichever occurs first. If a court date is
scheduled for the issuance of a default protective order and
the petitioner fails to personally appear or appear through
counsel or the prosecuting attorney, the petition shall be
dismissed and the ex parte order terminated.

Sec. 112A-20. Duration and extension of final protective
orders.
(a) (Blank).
(b) A final protective order shall remain in effect as
follows:
(1) if entered during pre-trial release, until
disposition, withdrawal, or dismissal of the underlying
charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
independent cause of action, the order's duration may be

HB3655 Engrossed - 2037 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
for a fixed period of time not to exceed 2 years;
(2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture
warrant, until final disposition or an additional period
of time not exceeding 2 years; no domestic violence order
of protection, however, shall be terminated by a dismissal
that is accompanied by the issuance of a bond forfeiture
warrant;
(3) until 2 years after the expiration of any
supervision, conditional discharge, probation, periodic
imprisonment, parole, aftercare release, or mandatory
supervised release for domestic violence orders of
protection and civil no contact orders; or
(4) until 2 years after the date set by the court for
expiration of any sentence of imprisonment and subsequent
parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release
for domestic violence orders of protection and civil no
contact orders; and
(5) permanent for a stalking no contact order if a
judgment of conviction for stalking is entered.
(c) Computation of time. The duration of a domestic
violence order of protection shall not be reduced by the
duration of any prior domestic violence order of protection.
(d) Law enforcement records. When a protective order
expires upon the occurrence of a specified event, rather than
upon a specified date as provided in subsection (b), no
expiration date shall be entered in Illinois Department of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2038 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
State Police records. To remove the protective order from
those records, either the petitioner or the respondent shall
request the clerk of the court to file a certified copy of an
order stating that the specified event has occurred or that
the protective order has been vacated or modified with the
sheriff, and the sheriff shall direct that law enforcement
records shall be promptly corrected in accordance with the
filed order.
(e) Extension of Orders. Any domestic violence order of
protection or civil no contact order that expires 2 years
after the expiration of the defendant's sentence under
paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section
112A-20 of this Article may be extended one or more times, as
required. The petitioner, petitioner's counsel, or the State's
Attorney on the petitioner's behalf shall file the motion for
an extension of the final protective order in the criminal
case and serve the motion in accordance with Supreme Court
Rules 11 and 12. The court shall transfer the motion to the
appropriate court or division for consideration under
subsection (e) of Section 220 of the Illinois Domestic
Violence Act of 1986, subsection (c) of Section 216 of the
Civil No Contact Order Act, or subsection (c) of Section 105 of
the Stalking No Contact Order as appropriate.
(f) Termination date. Any final protective order which
would expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the
close of the next court business day.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2039 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing a
protective order undermines the purposes of this Article. This
Section shall not be construed as encouraging that practice.

Sec. 112A-22. Notice of orders.
(a) Entry and issuance. Upon issuance of any protective
order, the clerk shall immediately, or on the next court day if
an ex parte order is issued under subsection (e) of Section
112A-17.5 of this Code, (i) enter the order on the record and
file it in accordance with the circuit court procedures and
(ii) provide a file stamped copy of the order to respondent and
to petitioner, if present, and to the State's Attorney. If the
victim is not present the State's Attorney shall (i) as soon as
practicable notify the petitioner the order has been entered
and (ii) provide a file stamped copy of the order to the
petitioner within 3 days.
(b) Filing with sheriff. The clerk of the issuing judge
shall, on the same day that a protective order is issued, file
a copy of that order with the sheriff or other law enforcement
officials charged with maintaining Illinois Department of
State Police records or charged with serving the order upon
respondent. If the order was issued under subsection (e) of
Section 112A-17.5 of this Code, the clerk on the next court day

HB3655 Engrossed - 2040 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall file a certified copy of the order with the sheriff or
other law enforcement officials charged with maintaining
Illinois Department of State Police records.
(c) (Blank).
(c-2) Service by sheriff. Unless respondent was present in
court when the order was issued, the sheriff, other law
enforcement official, or special process server shall promptly
serve that order upon respondent and file proof of the
service, in the manner provided for service of process in
civil proceedings. Instead of serving the order upon the
respondent; however, the sheriff, other law enforcement
official, special process server, or other persons defined in
Section 112A-22.1 of this Code may serve the respondent with a
short form notification as provided in Section 112A-22.1 of
this Code. If process has not yet been served upon the
respondent, process shall be served with the order or short
form notification if the service is made by the sheriff, other
law enforcement official, or special process server.
(c-3) If the person against whom the protective order is
issued is arrested and the written order is issued under
subsection (e) of Section 112A-17.5 of this Code and received
by the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent
or arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law
enforcement agency shall promptly serve the order upon the
respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is
released from custody. In no event shall detention of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2041 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
respondent or arrestee be extended for a hearing on the
petition for protective order or receipt of the order issued
under Section 112A-17 of this Code.
(c-4) Extensions, modifications, and revocations. Any
order extending, modifying, or revoking any protective order
shall be promptly recorded, issued, and served as provided in
this Section.
(c-5) (Blank).
(d) (Blank).
(e) Notice to health care facilities and health care
practitioners. Upon the request of the petitioner, the clerk
of the circuit court shall send a certified copy of the
protective order to any specified health care facility or
health care practitioner requested by the petitioner at the
mailing address provided by the petitioner.
(f) Disclosure by health care facilities and health care
practitioners. After receiving a certified copy of a
protective order that prohibits a respondent's access to
records, no health care facility or health care practitioner
shall allow a respondent access to the records of any child who
is a protected person under the protective order, or release
information in those records to the respondent, unless the
order has expired or the respondent shows a certified copy of
the court order vacating the corresponding protective order
that was sent to the health care facility or practitioner.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require health

HB3655 Engrossed - 2042 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
care facilities or health care practitioners to alter
procedures related to billing and payment. The health care
facility or health care practitioner may file the copy of the
protective order in the records of a child who is a protected
person under the protective order, or may employ any other
method to identify the records to which a respondent is
prohibited access. No health care facility or health care
practitioner shall be civilly or professionally liable for
reliance on a copy of a protective order, except for willful
and wanton misconduct.
(g) Notice to schools. Upon the request of the petitioner,
within 24 hours of the issuance of a protective order, the
clerk of the issuing judge shall send a certified copy of the
protective order to the day-care facility, pre-school or
pre-kindergarten, or private school or the principal office of
the public school district or any college or university in
which any child who is a protected person under the protective
order or any child of the petitioner is enrolled as requested
by the petitioner at the mailing address provided by the
petitioner. If the child transfers enrollment to another
day-care facility, pre-school, pre-kindergarten, private
school, public school, college, or university, the petitioner
may, within 24 hours of the transfer, send to the clerk written
notice of the transfer, including the name and address of the
institution to which the child is transferring. Within 24
hours of receipt of notice from the petitioner that a child is

HB3655 Engrossed - 2043 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
transferring to another day-care facility, pre-school,
pre-kindergarten, private school, public school, college, or
university, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the order
to the institution to which the child is transferring.
(h) Disclosure by schools. After receiving a certified
copy of a protective order that prohibits a respondent's
access to records, neither a day-care facility, pre-school,
pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or
university nor its employees shall allow a respondent access
to a protected child's records or release information in those
records to the respondent. The school shall file the copy of
the protective order in the records of a child who is a
protected person under the order. When a child who is a
protected person under the protective order transfers to
another day-care facility, pre-school, pre-kindergarten,
public or private school, college, or university, the
institution from which the child is transferring may, at the
request of the petitioner, provide, within 24 hours of the
transfer, written notice of the protective order, along with a
certified copy of the order, to the institution to which the
child is transferring.

report is to be used against the accused other than at a
preliminary hearing or grand jury hearing when the report may
be used without having been previously served upon the
accused.
(c) The report shall not be prima facie evidence if the

Sec. 116-3. Motion for fingerprint, Integrated Ballistic
Identification System, or forensic testing not available at
trial or guilty plea regarding actual innocence.
(a) A defendant may make a motion before the trial court
that entered the judgment of conviction in his or her case for
the performance of fingerprint, Integrated Ballistic
Identification System, or forensic DNA testing, including
comparison analysis of genetic marker groupings of the
evidence collected by criminal justice agencies pursuant to

HB3655 Engrossed - 2048 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the alleged offense, to those of the defendant, to those of
other forensic evidence, and to those maintained under
subsection (f) of Section 5-4-3 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, on evidence that was secured in relation to the
trial or guilty plea which resulted in his or her conviction,
and:
(1) was not subject to the testing which is now
requested at the time of trial; or
(2) although previously subjected to testing, can be
subjected to additional testing utilizing a method that
was not scientifically available at the time of trial that
provides a reasonable likelihood of more probative
results.
Reasonable notice of the motion shall be served upon the
State.
(b) The defendant must present a prima facie case that:
(1) identity was the issue in the trial or guilty plea
which resulted in his or her conviction; and
(2) the evidence to be tested has been subject to a
chain of custody sufficient to establish that it has not
been substituted, tampered with, replaced, or altered in
any material aspect.
(c) The trial court shall allow the testing under
reasonable conditions designed to protect the State's
interests in the integrity of the evidence and the testing
process upon a determination that:

HB3655 Engrossed - 2049 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) the result of the testing has the scientific
potential to produce new, noncumulative evidence (i)
materially relevant to the defendant's assertion of actual
innocence when the defendant's conviction was the result
of a trial, even though the results may not completely
exonerate the defendant, or (ii) that would raise a
reasonable probability that the defendant would have been
acquitted if the results of the evidence to be tested had
been available prior to the defendant's guilty plea and
the petitioner had proceeded to trial instead of pleading
guilty, even though the results may not completely
exonerate the defendant; and
(2) the testing requested employs a scientific method
generally accepted within the relevant scientific
community.
(d) If evidence previously tested pursuant to this Section
reveals an unknown fingerprint from the crime scene that does
not match the defendant or the victim, the order of the Court
shall direct the prosecuting authority to request the Illinois
State Police Bureau of Forensic Science to submit the unknown
fingerprint evidence into the FBI's Integrated Automated
Fingerprint Identification System (AIFIS) for identification.
(e) In the court's order to allow testing, the court shall
order the investigating authority to prepare an inventory of
the evidence related to the case and issue a copy of the
inventory to the prosecution, the petitioner, and the court.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2050 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(f) When a motion is filed to vacate based on favorable
post-conviction testing results, the State may, upon request,
reactivate victim services for the victim of the crime during
the pendency of the proceedings, and, as determined by the
court after consultation with the victim or victim advocate,
or both, following final adjudication of the case.

prosecution for an offense defined in Article 9 of that Code,
or in a prosecution for an attempt in violation of Section 8-4
of that Code of any of the above-enumerated offenses, unless
otherwise provided herein under subsection (b) or (c), a law
enforcement agency or an agent acting on behalf of the law
enforcement agency shall preserve, subject to a continuous
chain of custody, any physical evidence in their possession or
control that is reasonably likely to contain forensic
evidence, including, but not limited to, fingerprints or
biological material secured in relation to a trial and with
sufficient documentation to locate that evidence.
(b) After a judgment of conviction is entered, the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2051 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
evidence shall either be impounded with the Clerk of the
Circuit Court or shall be securely retained by a law
enforcement agency. Retention shall be permanent in cases
where a sentence of death is imposed. Retention shall be until
the completion of the sentence, including the period of
mandatory supervised release for the offense, or January 1,
2006, whichever is later, for any conviction for an offense or
an attempt of an offense defined in Article 9 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or in Section
11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-13, 12-14,

Criminal Code of 2012 or for 7 years following any conviction
for any other felony for which the defendant's genetic profile
may be taken by a law enforcement agency and submitted for
comparison in a forensic DNA database for unsolved offenses.
(c) After a judgment of conviction is entered, the law
enforcement agency required to retain evidence described in
subsection (a) may petition the court with notice to the
defendant or, in cases where the defendant has died, his
estate, his attorney of record, or an attorney appointed for
that purpose by the court for entry of an order allowing it to
dispose of evidence if, after a hearing, the court determines
by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) it has no significant value for forensic science
analysis and should be returned to its rightful owner,
destroyed, used for training purposes, or as otherwise

HB3655 Engrossed - 2052 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provided by law; or
(2) it has no significant value for forensic science
analysis and is of a size, bulk, or physical character not
usually retained by the law enforcement agency and cannot
practicably be retained by the law enforcement agency; or
(3) there no longer exists a reasonable basis to
require the preservation of the evidence because of the
death of the defendant; however, this paragraph (3) does
not apply if a sentence of death was imposed.
(d) The court may order the disposition of the evidence if
the defendant is allowed the opportunity to take reasonable
measures to remove or preserve portions of the evidence in
question for future testing.
(d-5) Any order allowing the disposition of evidence
pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) shall be a final and
appealable order. No evidence shall be disposed of until 30
days after the order is entered, and if a notice of appeal is
filed, no evidence shall be disposed of until the mandate has
been received by the circuit court from the appellate court.
(d-10) All records documenting the possession, control,
storage, and destruction of evidence and all police reports,
evidence control or inventory records, and other reports cited
in this Section, including computer records, must be retained
for as long as the evidence exists and may not be disposed of
without the approval of the Local Records Commission.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2064 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Notice/Inventory of Seized Property (Form 4-64), whichever
occurs sooner. A complaint for forfeiture or a notice of
pending forfeiture shall be served upon the property owner or
interest holder in the following manner:
(1) If the owner's or interest holder's name and
current address are known, then by either:
(A) personal service; or
(B) mailing a copy of the notice by certified
mail, return receipt requested, and first class mail
to that address.
(i) If notice is sent by certified mail and no
signed return receipt is received by the State's
Attorney within 28 days of mailing, and no
communication from the owner or interest holder is
received by the State's Attorney documenting
actual notice by said parties, then the State's
Attorney shall, within a reasonable period of
time, mail a second copy of the notice by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and
first class mail to that address.
(ii) If no signed return receipt is received
by the State's Attorney within 28 days of the
second attempt at service by certified mail, and
no communication from the owner or interest holder
is received by the State's Attorney documenting
actual notice by said parties, then the State's

HB3655 Engrossed - 2065 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Attorney shall have 60 days to attempt to serve
the notice by personal service, which also
includes substitute service by leaving a copy at
the usual place of abode, with some person of the
family or a person residing there, of the age of 13
years or upwards. If, after 3 attempts at service
in this manner, no service of the notice is
accomplished, then the notice shall be posted in a
conspicuous manner at this address and service
shall be made by posting.
The attempts at service and the posting, if
required, shall be documented by the person
attempting service and said documentation shall be
made part of a return of service returned to the
State's Attorney.
The State's Attorney may utilize any Sheriff
or Deputy Sheriff, any peace officer, a private
process server or investigator, or any employee,
agent, or investigator of the State's Attorney's
Office to attempt service without seeking leave of
court.
After the procedures set forth are followed,
service shall be effective on an owner or interest
holder on the date of receipt by the State's
Attorney of a return receipt, or on the date of
receipt of a communication from an owner or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2066 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
interest holder documenting actual notice,
whichever is first in time, or on the date of the
last act performed by the State's Attorney in
attempting personal service under subparagraph
(ii) above. If notice is to be shown by actual
notice from communication with a claimant, then
the State's Attorney shall file an affidavit
providing details of the communication, which may
be accepted as sufficient proof of service by the
court.
After a claimant files a verified claim with
the State's Attorney and provides an address at
which the claimant will accept service, the
complaint shall be served and notice shall be
perfected upon mailing of the complaint to the
claimant at the address the claimant provided via
certified mail, return receipt requested, and
first class mail. No return receipt need be
received, or any other attempts at service need be
made to comply with service and notice
requirements under this Act. This certified
mailing, return receipt requested, shall be proof
of service of the complaint on the claimant.
For purposes of notice under this Section, if
a person has been arrested for the conduct giving
rise to the forfeiture, then the address provided

HB3655 Engrossed - 2067 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
to the arresting agency at the time of arrest
shall be deemed to be that person's known address.
Provided, however, if an owner or interest
holder's address changes prior to the effective
date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the
owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the
seizing agency of the change in address or, if the
owner or interest holder's address changes
subsequent to the effective date of the notice of
pending forfeiture, the owner or interest holder
shall promptly notify the State's Attorney of the
change in address; or if the property seized is a
conveyance, to the address reflected in the office
of the agency or official in which title to or
interest in the conveyance is required by law to
be recorded.
(2) If the owner's or interest holder's address is not
known, and is not on record, then notice shall be served by
publication for 3 successive weeks in a newspaper of
general circulation in the county in which the seizure
occurred.
(3) After a claimant files a verified claim with the
State's Attorney and provides an address at which the
claimant will accept service, the complaint shall be
served and notice shall be perfected upon mailing of the
complaint to the claimant at the address the claimant

HB3655 Engrossed - 2068 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provided via certified mail, return receipt requested, and
first class mail. No return receipt need be received or
any other attempts at service need be made to comply with
service and notice requirements under this Act. This
certified mailing, return receipt requested, shall be
proof of service of the complaint on the claimant.
(4) Notice to any business entity, corporation,
limited liability company, limited liability partnership,
or partnership shall be completed by a single mailing of a
copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, and first class mail to that address. This
notice is complete regardless of the return of a signed
return receipt.
(5) Notice to a person whose address is not within the
State shall be completed by a single mailing of a copy of
the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested,
and first class mail to that address. This notice is
complete regardless of the return of a signed return
receipt.
(6) Notice to a person whose address is not within the
United States shall be completed by a single mailing of a
copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, and first class mail to that address. This
notice shall be complete regardless of the return of a
signed return receipt. If certified mail is not available
in the foreign country where the person has an address,

HB3655 Engrossed - 2069 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
then notice shall proceed by publication under paragraph
(2) of this Section.
(7) Notice to any person whom the State's Attorney
reasonably should know is incarcerated within the State
shall also include the mailing a copy of the notice by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and first class

forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable
relationship to the degree of direct participation of the
law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in the
forfeiture, taking into account the total value of the
property forfeited and the total law enforcement effort
with respect to the violation of the law upon which the
forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to the agency or

governing cannabis and controlled substances; for public
education in the community or schools in the prevention or
detection of the abuse of drugs or alcohol; or for

station, or the purchase of law enforcement equipment
or vehicles.
(2)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of the

resulting in the forfeiture was instituted, deposited in a
special fund in the county treasury and appropriated to
the State's Attorney for use in the enforcement of laws
governing cannabis and controlled substances; for public
education in the community or schools in the prevention or
detection of the abuse of drugs or alcohol; or, at the
discretion of the State's Attorney, in addition to other

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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2079 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(B) any interest in, security of, claim against, or property
or contractual right of any kind affording a source of
influence over, any enterprise which he has established,
operated, controlled, conducted, or participated in the
conduct of, in violation of this Act or Section 3 of the Drug
Paraphernalia Control Act, that the court determines, after a
forfeiture hearing, under subsection (b) of this Section to
have been acquired or maintained as a result of narcotics
racketeering or violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia
Control Act or used to facilitate narcotics racketeering.
(b) The court shall, upon petition by the Attorney General
or State's Attorney, at any time subsequent to the filing of an
information or return of an indictment, conduct a hearing to
determine whether any property or property interest is subject
to forfeiture under this Act. At the forfeiture hearing the
people shall have the burden of establishing, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that property or property
interests are subject to forfeiture under this Act. There is a
rebuttable presumption at such hearing that any property or
property interest of a person charged by information or
indictment with narcotics racketeering or who is convicted of
a violation of Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
is subject to forfeiture under this Section if the State
establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) such property or property interest was acquired by
such person during the period of the violation of this Act

HB3655 Engrossed - 2080 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act or
within a reasonable time after such period; and
(2) there was no likely source for such property or
property interest other than the violation of this Act or
Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act.
(c) In an action brought by the People of the State of
Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,
injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
with any property or property interest subject to forfeiture
under this Act is sought, the circuit court which shall
preside over the trial of the person or persons charged with
narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of this Act or
violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
shall first determine whether there is probable cause to
believe that the person or persons so charged has committed
the offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4
of this Act or a violation of Section 3 of the Drug
Paraphernalia Control Act and whether the property or property
interest is subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act.
In order to make such a determination, prior to entering
any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a
jury, wherein the People shall establish that there is: (i)
probable cause that the person or persons so charged have
committed the offense of narcotics racketeering or violating
Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act and (ii)
probable cause that any property or property interest may be

HB3655 Engrossed - 2081 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may
be conducted simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the
prosecution is commenced by information or complaint, or by
motion of the People, at any stage in the proceedings. The
court may accept a finding of probable cause at a preliminary
hearing following the filing of an information charging the
offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of
this Act or the return of an indictment by a grand jury
charging the offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in
Section 4 of this Act or after a charge is filed for violating
Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act as sufficient
evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) above.
Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
such other action in connection with any such property or
property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide

HB3655 Engrossed - 2082 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder
arising prior to the date of such filing.
The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
such property or interest which the court previously
determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any
restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other action.
The court may release such property to the defendant for good
cause shown and within the sound discretion of the court.
(d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
(e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
property interest that has been the subject of an entered
restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless
the claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that
the property or property interest has not been acquired or
maintained as a result of narcotics racketeering or has not
been used to facilitate narcotics racketeering.
(f) The Attorney General or his designee is authorized to
sell all property forfeited and seized pursuant to this Act,
unless such property is required by law to be destroyed or is

HB3655 Engrossed - 2083 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
harmful to the public, and, after the deduction of all
requisite expenses of administration and sale, shall
distribute the proceeds of such sale, along with any moneys
forfeited or seized, in accordance with subsection (g) or (h),
whichever is applicable.
(g) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other property
forfeited and seized pursuant to this Act shall be distributed
as follows:
(1) An amount equal to 50% shall be distributed to the
unit of local government whose officers or employees
conducted the investigation into narcotics racketeering
and caused the arrest or arrests and prosecution leading
to the forfeiture. Amounts distributed to units of local
government shall be used for enforcement of laws governing
narcotics activity or for public education in the
community or schools in the prevention or detection of the
abuse of drugs or alcohol. In the event, however, that the
investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution leading
to the forfeiture were undertaken solely by a State
agency, the portion provided hereunder shall be paid into
the Drug Traffic Prevention Fund in the State treasury to
be used for enforcement of laws governing narcotics
activity.
(2) An amount equal to 12.5% shall be distributed to
the county in which the prosecution resulting in the
forfeiture was instituted, deposited in a special fund in

HB3655 Engrossed - 2084 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the county treasury and appropriated to the State's
Attorney for use in the enforcement of laws governing
narcotics activity or for public education in the
community or schools in the prevention or detection of the
abuse of drugs or alcohol.
An amount equal to 12.5% shall be distributed to the
Office of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and
deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund, which
is hereby created in the State treasury, to be used by the
Office of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor for
additional expenses incurred in prosecuting appeals
arising under this Act. Any amounts remaining in the Fund
after all additional expenses have been paid shall be used
by the Office to reduce the participating county
contributions to the Office on a pro-rated basis as
determined by the board of governors of the Office of the
State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor based on the
populations of the participating counties.
(3) An amount equal to 25% shall be paid into the Drug
Traffic Prevention Fund in the State treasury to be used
by the Illinois Department of State Police for funding
Metropolitan Enforcement Groups created pursuant to the
Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act. Any amounts
remaining in the Fund after full funding of Metropolitan
Enforcement Groups shall be used for enforcement, by the
State or any unit of local government, of laws governing

HB3655 Engrossed - 2085 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
narcotics activity or for public education in the
community or schools in the prevention or detection of the
abuse of drugs or alcohol.
(h) Where the investigation or indictment for the offense
of narcotics racketeering or a violation of Section 3 of the
Drug Paraphernalia Control Act has occurred under the
provisions of the Statewide Grand Jury Act, all monies and the
sale proceeds of all other property shall be distributed as
follows:
(1) 60% shall be distributed to the metropolitan
enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State law
enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or
participated in the investigation resulting in the
forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable
relationship to the degree of direct participation of the
law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in the
forfeiture, taking into account the total value of the
property forfeited and the total law enforcement effort
with respect to the violation of the law on which the
forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to the agency or
agencies shall be used for the enforcement of laws
governing cannabis and controlled substances or for public
education in the community or schools in the prevention or
detection of the abuse of drugs or alcohol.
(2) 25% shall be distributed by the Attorney General
as grants to drug education, treatment and prevention

HB3655 Engrossed - 2086 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
programs licensed or approved by the Department of Human
Services. In making these grants, the Attorney General
shall take into account the plans and service priorities
of, and the needs identified by, the Department of Human
Services.
(3) 15% shall be distributed to the Attorney General
and the State's Attorney, if any, participating in the
prosecution resulting in the forfeiture. The distribution
shall bear a reasonable relationship to the degree of
direct participation in the prosecution of the offense,
taking into account the total value of the property
forfeited and the total amount of time spent in preparing
and presenting the case, the complexity of the case and
other similar factors. Amounts distributed to the Attorney
General under this paragraph shall be retained in a fund
held by the State Treasurer as ex-officio custodian to be
designated as the Statewide Grand Jury Prosecution Fund
and paid out upon the direction of the Attorney General
for expenses incurred in criminal prosecutions arising
under the Statewide Grand Jury Act. Amounts distributed to
a State's Attorney shall be deposited in a special fund in
the county treasury and appropriated to the State's
Attorney for use in the enforcement of laws governing
narcotics activity or for public education in the
community or schools in the prevention or detection of the
abuse of drugs or alcohol.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2087 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

continuing basis, to the Illinois Department of State Police
to be used for funding Metropolitan Enforcement Groups created
pursuant to the Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act or
otherwise for the enforcement of laws governing narcotics
activity or for public education in the community or schools

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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2096 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the evidence that was collected. The sexual assault evidence
tracking system must:
(1) be electronic and web-based;
(2) be administered by the Illinois Department of
State Police;
(3) have help desk availability at all times;
(4) ensure the law enforcement agency contact
information is accessible to the victim or his or her
designee through the tracking system, so there is contact
information for questions;
(5) have the option for external connectivity to
evidence management systems, laboratory information
management systems, or other electronic data systems
already in existence by any of the stakeholders to
minimize additional burdens or tasks on stakeholders;
(6) allow for the victim to opt in for automatic
notifications when status updates are entered in the
system, if the system allows;
(7) include at each step in the process, a brief
explanation of the general purpose of that step and a
general indication of how long the step may take to
complete;
(8) contain minimum fields for tracking and reporting,
as follows:
(A) for sexual assault evidence kit vendor fields:
(i) each sexual evidence kit identification

HB3655 Engrossed - 2097 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
number provided to each health care facility; and
(ii) the date the sexual evidence kit was sent
to the health care facility.
(B) for health care facility fields:
(i) the date sexual assault evidence was
collected; and
(ii) the date notification was made to the law
enforcement agency that the sexual assault
evidence was collected.
(C) for law enforcement agency fields:
(i) the date the law enforcement agency took
possession of the sexual assault evidence from the
health care facility, another law enforcement
agency, or victim if he or she did not go through a
health care facility;
(ii) the law enforcement agency complaint
number;
(iii) if the law enforcement agency that takes
possession of the sexual assault evidence from a
health care facility is not the law enforcement
agency with jurisdiction in which the offense
occurred, the date when the law enforcement agency
notified the law enforcement agency having
jurisdiction that the agency has sexual assault
evidence required under subsection (c) of Section
20 of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act;

HB3655 Engrossed - 2098 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(iv) an indication if the victim consented for
analysis of the sexual assault evidence;
(v) if the victim did not consent for analysis
of the sexual assault evidence, the date on which
the law enforcement agency is no longer required
to store the sexual assault evidence;
(vi) a mechanism for the law enforcement
agency to document why the sexual assault evidence
was not submitted to the laboratory for analysis,
if applicable;
(vii) the date the law enforcement agency
received the sexual assault evidence results back
from the laboratory;
(viii) the date statutory notifications were
made to the victim or documentation of why
notification was not made; and
(ix) the date the law enforcement agency
turned over the case information to the State's
Attorney office, if applicable.
(D) for forensic lab fields:
(i) the date the sexual assault evidence is
received from the law enforcement agency by the
forensic lab for analysis;
(ii) the laboratory case number, visible to
the law enforcement agency and State's Attorney
office; and

HB3655 Engrossed - 2099 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(iii) the date the laboratory completes the
analysis of the sexual assault evidence.
(E) for State's Attorney office fields:
(i) the date the State's Attorney office
received the sexual assault evidence results from
the laboratory, if applicable; and
(ii) the disposition or status of the case.
(a-2) The Commission also developed guidelines for secure
electronic access to a tracking system for a victim, or his or
her designee to access information on the status of the
evidence collected. The Commission recommended minimum
guidelines in order to safeguard confidentiality of the
information contained within this statewide tracking system.
These recommendations are that the sexual assault evidence
tracking system must:
(1) allow for secure access, controlled by an
administering body who can restrict user access and allow
different permissions based on the need of that particular
user and health care facility users may include
out-of-state border hospitals, if authorized by the
Illinois Department of State Police to obtain this State's
kits from vendor;
(2) provide for users, other than victims, the ability
to provide for any individual who is granted access to the
program their own unique user ID and password;
(3) provide for a mechanism for a victim to enter the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2100 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
system and only access his or her own information;
(4) enable a sexual assault evidence to be tracked and
identified through the unique sexual assault evidence kit
identification number or barcode that the vendor applies
to each sexual assault evidence kit per the Illinois
Department of State Police's contract;
(5) have a mechanism to inventory unused kits provided
to a health care facility from the vendor;
(6) provide users the option to either scan the bar
code or manually enter the sexual assault evidence kit
number into the tracking program;
(7) provide a mechanism to create a separate unique
identification number for cases in which a sexual evidence
kit was not collected, but other evidence was collected;
(8) provide the ability to record date, time, and user
ID whenever any user accesses the system;
(9) provide for real-time entry and update of data;
(10) contain report functions including:
(A) health care facility compliance with
applicable laws;
(B) law enforcement agency compliance with
applicable laws;
(C) law enforcement agency annual inventory of
cases to each State's Attorney office; and
(D) forensic lab compliance with applicable laws;
and

HB3655 Engrossed - 2101 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(11) provide automatic notifications to the law
enforcement agency when:
(A) a health care facility has collected sexual
assault evidence;
(B) unreleased sexual assault evidence that is
being stored by the law enforcement agency has met the
minimum storage requirement by law; and
(C) timelines as required by law are not met for a
particular case, if not otherwise documented.
(b) The Illinois State Police Department shall develop
rules to implement a sexual assault evidence tracking system
that conforms with subsections (a-1) and (a-2) of this
Section. The Illinois State Police Department shall design the
criteria for the sexual assault evidence tracking system so
that, to the extent reasonably possible, the system can use
existing technologies and products, including, but not limited
to, currently available tracking systems. The sexual assault
evidence tracking system shall be operational and shall begin
tracking and reporting sexual assault evidence no later than
one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
101st General Assembly. The Illinois State Police Department
may adopt additional rules as it deems necessary to ensure
that the sexual assault evidence tracking system continues to
be a useful tool for law enforcement.
(c) A treatment hospital, a treatment hospital with
approved pediatric transfer, an out-of-state hospital approved

HB3655 Engrossed - 2102 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
by the Department of Public Health to receive transfers of
Illinois sexual assault survivors, or an approved pediatric
health care facility defined in Section 1a of the Sexual
Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act shall participate in
the sexual assault evidence tracking system created under this
Section and in accordance with rules adopted under subsection
(b), including, but not limited to, the collection of sexual
assault evidence and providing information regarding that
evidence, including, but not limited to, providing notice to
law enforcement that the evidence has been collected.
(d) The operations of the sexual assault evidence tracking
system shall be funded by moneys appropriated for that purpose
from the State Crime Laboratory Fund and funds provided to the
Illinois State Police Department through asset forfeiture,
together with such other funds as the General Assembly may
appropriate.
(e) To ensure that the sexual assault evidence tracking
system is operational, the Illinois State Police Department
may adopt emergency rules to implement the provisions of this
Section under subsection (ff) of Section 5-45 of the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act.
(f) Information, including, but not limited to, evidence
and records in the sexual assault evidence tracking system is
exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

Department of Central Management Services to accept bids
from counties and municipalities for the construction,
remodeling or conversion of a structure to be leased to
the Department of Corrections for the purposes of its
serving as a correctional institution or facility. Such
construction, remodeling or conversion may be financed
with revenue bonds issued pursuant to the Industrial
Building Revenue Bond Act by the municipality or county.
The lease specified in a bid shall be for a term of not
less than the time needed to retire any revenue bonds used
to finance the project, but not to exceed 40 years. The
lease may grant to the State the option to purchase the
structure outright.
Upon receipt of the bids, the Department may certify
one or more of the bids and shall submit any such bids to
the General Assembly for approval. Upon approval of a bid
by a constitutional majority of both houses of the General
Assembly, pursuant to joint resolution, the Department of
Central Management Services may enter into an agreement

investigation or hearing. The Chairman of the Board may sign
subpoenas which shall be served by any agent or public
official authorized by the Chairman of the Board, or by any
person lawfully authorized to serve a subpoena under the laws
of the State of Illinois. The attendance of witnesses, and the
production of documentary evidence, may be required from any
place in the State to a hearing location in the State before
the Chairman of the Board or his or her designated agent or
agents or any duly constituted Committee or Subcommittee of
the Board. Witnesses so summoned shall be paid the same fees

In case of disobedience to a subpoena, the Board may
petition any circuit court of the State for an order requiring
the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of
documentary evidence or both. A copy of such petition shall be
served by personal service or by registered or certified mail
upon the person who has failed to obey the subpoena, and such

the written notice and petition in the U.S. mail mails
addressed to the person at his or her last known address or

petition, may order the person refusing to obey the subpoena
to appear at an investigation or hearing, or to there produce
documentary evidence, if so ordered, or to give evidence
relative to the subject matter of that investigation or
hearing. Any failure to obey such order of the circuit court
may be punished by that court as a contempt of court.

(730 ILCS 5/5-2-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-2-4)
Sec. 5-2-4. Proceedings after acquittal by reason of
insanity.
(a) After a finding or verdict of not guilty by reason of
insanity under Sections 104-25, 115-3, or 115-4 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963, the defendant shall be ordered to
the Department of Human Services for an evaluation as to
whether he is in need of mental health services. The order
shall specify whether the evaluation shall be conducted on an
inpatient or outpatient basis. If the evaluation is to be
conducted on an inpatient basis, the defendant shall be placed
in a secure setting. With the court order for evaluation shall
be sent a copy of the arrest report, criminal charges, arrest
record, jail record, any report prepared under Section 115-6
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any statement
prepared under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
Witnesses Act. The clerk of the circuit court shall transmit
this information to the Department within 5 days. If the court
orders that the evaluation be done on an inpatient basis, the
Department shall evaluate the defendant to determine to which
secure facility the defendant shall be transported and, within
20 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of
the placement court order, notify the sheriff of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2152 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
designated facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the sheriff
shall promptly transport the defendant to the designated
facility. During the period of time required to determine the
appropriate placement, the defendant shall remain in jail. If,
within 20 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit
court of the placement court order, the Department fails to
notify the sheriff of the identity of the facility to which the
defendant shall be transported, the sheriff shall contact a
designated person within the Department to inquire about when
a placement will become available at the designated facility
and bed availability at other facilities. If, within 20 days
of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the
placement court order, the Department fails to notify the
sheriff of the identity of the facility to which the defendant
shall be transported, the sheriff shall notify the Department
of its intent to transfer the defendant to the nearest secure
mental health facility operated by the Department and inquire
as to the status of the placement evaluation and availability
for admission to the facility operated by the Department by
contacting a designated person within the Department. The
Department shall respond to the sheriff within 2 business days
of the notice and inquiry by the sheriff seeking the transfer
and the Department shall provide the sheriff with the status
of the placement evaluation, information on bed and placement
availability, and an estimated date of admission for the
defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2153 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business
day period of a facility operated by the Department with
placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport
the defendant to that facility. Individualized placement
evaluations by the Department of Human Services determine the
most appropriate setting for forensic treatment based upon a
number of factors including mental health diagnosis, proximity
to surviving victims, security need, age, gender, and
proximity to family.
The Department shall provide the Court with a report of
its evaluation within 30 days of the date of this order. The
Court shall hold a hearing as provided under the Mental Health
and Developmental Disabilities Code to determine if the
individual is: (a) in need of mental health services on an
inpatient basis; (b) in need of mental health services on an
outpatient basis; (c) a person not in need of mental health
services. The court shall afford the victim the opportunity to
make a written or oral statement as guaranteed by Article I,
Section 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and Section 6 of the
Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall
allow a victim to make an oral statement if the victim is
present in the courtroom and requests to make an oral
statement. An oral statement includes the victim or a
representative of the victim reading the written statement.
The court may allow persons impacted by the crime who are not
victims under subsection (a) of Section 3 of the Rights of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2154 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Crime Victims and Witnesses Act to present an oral or written
statement. A victim and any person making an oral statement
shall not be put under oath or subject to cross-examination.
The court shall consider any statement presented along with
all other appropriate factors in determining the sentence of
the defendant or disposition of the juvenile. All statements
shall become part of the record of the court.
If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
shall be placed in a secure setting. Such defendants placed in
a secure setting shall not be permitted outside the facility's
housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by personnel of
the Department of Human Services or with the prior approval of
the Court for unsupervised on-grounds privileges as provided
herein. Any defendant placed in a secure setting pursuant to
this Section, transported to court hearings or other necessary
appointments off facility grounds by personnel of the
Department of Human Services, shall be placed in security
devices or otherwise secured during the period of
transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and
the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and
others. These security measures shall not constitute restraint
as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
Code. If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
services, but not on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 2155 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
conditionally release the defendant, under such conditions as
set forth in this Section as will reasonably assure the
defendant's satisfactory progress and participation in
treatment or rehabilitation and the safety of the defendant,
the victim, the victim's family members, and others. If the
Court finds the person not in need of mental health services,
then the Court shall order the defendant discharged from
custody.
(a-1) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section:
(A) (Blank).
(B) "In need of mental health services on an inpatient
basis" means: a defendant who has been found not guilty by
reason of insanity but who, due to mental illness, is
reasonably expected to inflict serious physical harm upon
himself or another and who would benefit from inpatient
care or is in need of inpatient care.
(C) "In need of mental health services on an
outpatient basis" means: a defendant who has been found
not guilty by reason of insanity who is not in need of
mental health services on an inpatient basis, but is in
need of outpatient care, drug and/or alcohol
rehabilitation programs, community adjustment programs,
individual, group, or family therapy, or chemotherapy.
(D) "Conditional Release" means: the release from
either the custody of the Department of Human Services or
the custody of the Court of a person who has been found not

HB3655 Engrossed - 2156 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
guilty by reason of insanity under such conditions as the
Court may impose which reasonably assure the defendant's
satisfactory progress in treatment or habilitation and the
safety of the defendant, the victim, the victim's family,
and others. The Court shall consider such terms and
conditions which may include, but need not be limited to,
outpatient care, alcoholic and drug rehabilitation
programs, community adjustment programs, individual,
group, family, and chemotherapy, random testing to ensure
the defendant's timely and continuous taking of any
medicines prescribed to control or manage his or her
conduct or mental state, and periodic checks with the
legal authorities and/or the Department of Human Services.
The Court may order as a condition of conditional release
that the defendant not contact the victim of the offense
that resulted in the finding or verdict of not guilty by
reason of insanity or any other person. The Court may
order the Department of Human Services to provide care to
any person conditionally released under this Section. The
Department may contract with any public or private agency
in order to discharge any responsibilities imposed under
this Section. The Department shall monitor the provision
of services to persons conditionally released under this
Section and provide periodic reports to the Court
concerning the services and the condition of the
defendant. Whenever a person is conditionally released

HB3655 Engrossed - 2157 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
pursuant to this Section, the State's Attorney for the
county in which the hearing is held shall designate in
writing the name, telephone number, and address of a
person employed by him or her who shall be notified in the
event that either the reporting agency or the Department
decides that the conditional release of the defendant
should be revoked or modified pursuant to subsection (i)
of this Section. Such conditional release shall be for a
period of five years. However, the defendant, the person
or facility rendering the treatment, therapy, program or
outpatient care, the Department, or the State's Attorney
may petition the Court for an extension of the conditional
release period for an additional 5 years. Upon receipt of
such a petition, the Court shall hold a hearing consistent
with the provisions of paragraph (a), this paragraph
(a-1), and paragraph (f) of this Section, shall determine
whether the defendant should continue to be subject to the
terms of conditional release, and shall enter an order
either extending the defendant's period of conditional
release for an additional 5-year period or discharging the
defendant. Additional 5-year periods of conditional
release may be ordered following a hearing as provided in
this Section. However, in no event shall the defendant's
period of conditional release continue beyond the maximum
period of commitment ordered by the Court pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. These provisions for

HB3655 Engrossed - 2158 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
extension of conditional release shall only apply to
defendants conditionally released on or after August 8,
2003. However, the extension provisions of Public Act
83-1449 apply only to defendants charged with a forcible
felony.
(E) "Facility director" means the chief officer of a
mental health or developmental disabilities facility or
his or her designee or the supervisor of a program of
treatment or habilitation or his or her designee.
"Designee" may include a physician, clinical psychologist,
social worker, nurse, or clinical professional counselor.
(b) If the Court finds the defendant in need of mental
health services on an inpatient basis, the admission,
detention, care, treatment or habilitation, treatment plans,
review proceedings, including review of treatment and
treatment plans, and discharge of the defendant after such
order shall be under the Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities Code, except that the initial order for admission
of a defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of insanity
shall be for an indefinite period of time. Such period of
commitment shall not exceed the maximum length of time that
the defendant would have been required to serve, less credit
for good behavior as provided in Section 5-4-1 of the Unified
Code of Corrections, before becoming eligible for release had
he been convicted of and received the maximum sentence for the
most serious crime for which he has been acquitted by reason of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2159 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
insanity. The Court shall determine the maximum period of
commitment by an appropriate order. During this period of
time, the defendant shall not be permitted to be in the
community in any manner, including, but not limited to,
off-grounds privileges, with or without escort by personnel of
the Department of Human Services, unsupervised on-grounds
privileges, discharge or conditional or temporary release,
except by a plan as provided in this Section. In no event shall
a defendant's continued unauthorized absence be a basis for
discharge. Not more than 30 days after admission and every 90
days thereafter so long as the initial order remains in
effect, the facility director shall file a treatment plan
report in writing with the court and forward a copy of the
treatment plan report to the clerk of the court, the State's
Attorney, and the defendant's attorney, if the defendant is
represented by counsel, or to a person authorized by the
defendant under the Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities Confidentiality Act to be sent a copy of the

for those findings and provide a current summary of the
following items from the treatment plan: (1) an assessment of
the defendant's treatment needs, (2) a description of the

privileges, off-grounds privileges (with or without escort by
personnel of the Department of Human Services), home visits
and participation in work programs, but only where such
privileges have been approved by specific court order, which
order may include such conditions on the defendant as the
Court may deem appropriate and necessary to reasonably assure
the defendant's satisfactory progress in treatment and the
safety of the defendant and others.
(c) Every defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of
insanity and subsequently found to be in need of mental health
services shall be represented by counsel in all proceedings
under this Section and under the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Code.
(1) The Court shall appoint as counsel the public
defender or an attorney licensed by this State.
(2) Upon filing with the Court of a verified statement
of legal services rendered by the private attorney
appointed pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection,
the Court shall determine a reasonable fee for such
services. If the defendant is unable to pay the fee, the
Court shall enter an order upon the State to pay the entire
fee or such amount as the defendant is unable to pay from

HB3655 Engrossed - 2161 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
funds appropriated by the General Assembly for that
purpose.
(d) When the facility director determines that:
(1) the defendant is no longer in need of mental
health services on an inpatient basis; and
(2) the defendant may be conditionally released
because he or she is still in need of mental health
services or that the defendant may be discharged as not in
need of any mental health services; or
(3) (blank);
the facility director shall give written notice to the Court,
State's Attorney and defense attorney. Such notice shall set
forth in detail the basis for the recommendation of the
facility director, and specify clearly the recommendations, if
any, of the facility director, concerning conditional release.
Any recommendation for conditional release shall include an
evaluation of the defendant's need for psychotropic
medication, what provisions should be made, if any, to ensure
that the defendant will continue to receive psychotropic
medication following discharge, and what provisions should be
made to assure the safety of the defendant and others in the
event the defendant is no longer receiving psychotropic
medication. Within 30 days of the notification by the facility
director, the Court shall set a hearing and make a finding as
to whether the defendant is:
(i) (blank); or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2162 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(ii) in need of mental health services in the form of
inpatient care; or
(iii) in need of mental health services but not
subject to inpatient care; or
(iv) no longer in need of mental health services; or
(v) (blank).
A crime victim shall be allowed to present an oral and
written statement. The court shall allow a victim to make an
oral statement if the victim is present in the courtroom and
requests to make an oral statement. An oral statement includes
the victim or a representative of the victim reading the
written statement. A victim and any person making an oral
statement shall not be put under oath or subject to
cross-examination. All statements shall become part of the
record of the court.
Upon finding by the Court, the Court shall enter its
findings and such appropriate order as provided in subsections
(a) and (a-1) of this Section.
(e) A defendant admitted pursuant to this Section, or any
person on his behalf, may file a petition for treatment plan
review or discharge or conditional release under the standards
of this Section in the Court which rendered the verdict. Upon
receipt of a petition for treatment plan review or discharge
or conditional release, the Court shall set a hearing to be
held within 120 days. Thereafter, no new petition may be filed
for 180 days without leave of the Court.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2163 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(f) The Court shall direct that notice of the time and
place of the hearing be served upon the defendant, the
facility director, the State's Attorney, and the defendant's
attorney. If requested by either the State or the defense or if
the Court feels it is appropriate, an impartial examination of
the defendant by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist as
defined in Section 1-103 of the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Code who is not in the employ of
the Department of Human Services shall be ordered, and the
report considered at the time of the hearing.
(g) The findings of the Court shall be established by
clear and convincing evidence. The burden of proof and the
burden of going forth with the evidence rest with the
defendant or any person on the defendant's behalf when a
hearing is held to review a petition filed by or on behalf of
the defendant. The evidence shall be presented in open Court
with the right of confrontation and cross-examination. Such
evidence may include, but is not limited to:
(1) whether the defendant appreciates the harm caused
by the defendant to others and the community by his or her
prior conduct that resulted in the finding of not guilty
by reason of insanity;
(2) Whether the person appreciates the criminality of
conduct similar to the conduct for which he or she was
originally charged in this matter;
(3) the current state of the defendant's illness;

HB3655 Engrossed - 2164 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(4) what, if any, medications the defendant is taking
to control his or her mental illness;
(5) what, if any, adverse physical side effects the
medication has on the defendant;
(6) the length of time it would take for the
defendant's mental health to deteriorate if the defendant
stopped taking prescribed medication;
(7) the defendant's history or potential for alcohol
and drug abuse;
(8) the defendant's past criminal history;
(9) any specialized physical or medical needs of the
defendant;
(10) any family participation or involvement expected
upon release and what is the willingness and ability of
the family to participate or be involved;
(11) the defendant's potential to be a danger to
himself, herself, or others;
(11.5) a written or oral statement made by the victim;
and
(12) any other factor or factors the Court deems
appropriate.
(h) Before the court orders that the defendant be
discharged or conditionally released, it shall order the
facility director to establish a discharge plan that includes
a plan for the defendant's shelter, support, and medication.
If appropriate, the court shall order that the facility

HB3655 Engrossed - 2165 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
director establish a program to train the defendant in
self-medication under standards established by the Department
of Human Services. If the Court finds, consistent with the
provisions of this Section, that the defendant is no longer in
need of mental health services it shall order the facility
director to discharge the defendant. If the Court finds,
consistent with the provisions of this Section, that the
defendant is in need of mental health services, and no longer
in need of inpatient care, it shall order the facility
director to release the defendant under such conditions as the
Court deems appropriate and as provided by this Section. Such
conditional release shall be imposed for a period of 5 years as
provided in paragraph (D) of subsection (a-1) and shall be
subject to later modification by the Court as provided by this
Section. If the Court finds consistent with the provisions in
this Section that the defendant is in need of mental health
services on an inpatient basis, it shall order the facility
director not to discharge or release the defendant in
accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(i) If within the period of the defendant's conditional
release the State's Attorney determines that the defendant has
not fulfilled the conditions of his or her release, the
State's Attorney may petition the Court to revoke or modify
the conditional release of the defendant. Upon the filing of
such petition the defendant may be remanded to the custody of
the Department, or to any other mental health facility

HB3655 Engrossed - 2166 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
designated by the Department, pending the resolution of the
petition. Nothing in this Section shall prevent the emergency
admission of a defendant pursuant to Article VI of Chapter III
of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or
the voluntary admission of the defendant pursuant to Article
IV of Chapter III of the Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities Code. If the Court determines, after hearing
evidence, that the defendant has not fulfilled the conditions
of release, the Court shall order a hearing to be held
consistent with the provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of
this Section. At such hearing, if the Court finds that the
defendant is in need of mental health services on an inpatient
basis, it shall enter an order remanding him or her to the
Department of Human Services or other facility. If the
defendant is remanded to the Department of Human Services, he
or she shall be placed in a secure setting unless the Court
determines that there are compelling reasons that such
placement is not necessary. If the Court finds that the
defendant continues to be in need of mental health services
but not on an inpatient basis, it may modify the conditions of
the original release in order to reasonably assure the
defendant's satisfactory progress in treatment and his or her
safety and the safety of others in accordance with the
standards established in paragraph (D) of subsection (a-1).
Nothing in this Section shall limit a Court's contempt powers
or any other powers of a Court.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2167 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(j) An order of admission under this Section does not
affect the remedy of habeas corpus.
(k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the
Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the
Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality
Act, the provisions of this Section shall govern.
(l) Public Act 90-593 shall apply to all persons who have
been found not guilty by reason of insanity and who are
presently committed to the Department of Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities (now the Department of Human
Services).
(m) The Clerk of the Court shall transmit a certified copy
of the order of discharge or conditional release to the
Department of Human Services, to the sheriff of the county
from which the defendant was admitted, to the Illinois
Department of State Police, to the proper law enforcement
agency for the municipality where the offense took place, and
to the sheriff of the county into which the defendant is
conditionally discharged. The Illinois Department of State
Police shall maintain a centralized record of discharged or
conditionally released defendants while they are under court
supervision for access and use of appropriate law enforcement
agencies.
(n) The provisions in this Section which allow allows a
crime victim to make a written and oral statement do not apply
if the defendant was under 18 years of age at the time the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2168 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
offense was committed.
(o) If any provision of this Section or its application to
any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of
that provision does not affect any other provision or
application of this Section that can be given effect without
the invalid provision or application.

Sec. 5-5-4. Resentences.
(a) Where a conviction or sentence has been set aside on
direct review or on collateral attack, the court shall not
impose a new sentence for the same offense or for a different
offense based on the same conduct which is more severe than the
prior sentence less the portion of the prior sentence
previously satisfied unless the more severe sentence is based
upon conduct on the part of the defendant occurring after the
original sentencing. If a sentence is vacated on appeal or on
collateral attack due to the failure of the trier of fact at
trial to determine beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of
a fact (other than a prior conviction) necessary to increase
the punishment for the offense beyond the statutory maximum
otherwise applicable, either the defendant may be re-sentenced
to a term within the range otherwise provided or, if the State
files notice of its intention to again seek the extended
sentence, the defendant shall be afforded a new trial.
(b) If a conviction or sentence has been set aside on
direct review or on collateral attack and the court determines
by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant was
factually innocent of the charge, the court shall enter an
order expunging the record of arrest from the official records
of the arresting authority and order that the records of the
clerk of the circuit court and Illinois Department of State
Police be sealed until further order of the court upon good
cause shown or as otherwise provided herein, and the name of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2191 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the defendant obliterated from the official index requested to
be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the
Clerks of Courts Act in connection with the arrest and
conviction for the offense but the order shall not affect any
index issued by the circuit court clerk before the entry of the
order. The court shall enter the expungement order regardless
of whether the defendant has prior criminal convictions.
All records sealed by the Illinois Department of State
Police may be disseminated by the Department only as required
by law or to the arresting authority, the State's Attorney,
the court upon a later arrest for the same or similar offense,
or for the purpose of sentencing for any subsequent felony.
Upon conviction for any subsequent offense, the Department of
Corrections shall have access to all sealed records of the
Department pertaining to that individual.
Upon entry of the order of expungement, the clerk of the
circuit court shall promptly mail a copy of the order to the
person whose records were expunged and sealed.
(c) If a conviction has been vacated as a result of a claim
of actual innocence based on newly discovered evidence made
under Section 122-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963
or Section 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and the
provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (g) of
Section 2-702 of the Code of Civil Procedure are otherwise
satisfied, the court shall enter an order for a certificate of
innocence and an order expunging the conviction for which the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2192 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
petitioner has been determined to be innocent as provided in
subsection (h) of Section 2-702 of the Code of Civil

Section. The fee shall be collected by the clerk of the
circuit court, except as provided in an administrative

course of the minor's lawful employment.
(d) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional
discharge shall be given a certificate setting forth the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2209 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
conditions thereof.

(g) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional
discharge and who during the term of either undergoes
mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, or is assigned to
be placed on an approved electronic monitoring device, shall
be ordered to pay all costs incidental to such mandatory drug
or alcohol testing, or both, and all costs incidental to such
approved electronic monitoring in accordance with the
defendant's ability to pay those costs. The county board with
the concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in
which the county is located shall establish reasonable fees

HB3655 Engrossed - 2210 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
for the cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses
related to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and
all costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring,
involved in a successful probation program for the county. The
concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
of the circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the
circuit court shall pay all moneys collected from these fees
to the county treasurer who shall use the moneys collected to
defray the costs of drug testing, alcohol testing, and
electronic monitoring. The county treasurer shall deposit the
fees collected in the county working cash fund under Section
6-27001 or Section 6-29002 of the Counties Code, as the case
may be. The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
by administrative order establish a program for electronic
monitoring of offenders, in which a vendor supplies and
monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring device,
and collects the fees on behalf of the county. The program
shall include provisions for indigent offenders and the
collection of unpaid fees. The program shall not unduly burden
the offender and shall be subject to review by the Chief Judge.
The Chief Judge of the circuit court may suspend any
additional charges or fees for late payment, interest, or
damage to any device.
(h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from

HB3655 Engrossed - 2211 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers
of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The
court to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have
the same powers as the sentencing court. The probation
department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
transferred, or which has agreed to provide supervision, may
impose probation fees upon receiving the transferred offender,
as provided in subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as
defined in Section 9b of the Probation and Probation Officers
Act, the probation department from the original sentencing
court shall retain all probation fees collected prior to the
transfer. After the transfer, all probation fees shall be paid
to the probation department within the circuit to which
jurisdiction has been transferred.
(i) The court shall impose upon an offender sentenced to
probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the
supervision of a probation or court services department after
January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or
conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee
of $50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
court, unless after determining the inability of the person
sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser

HB3655 Engrossed - 2212 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers
Act.
A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
offender's ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a
probation fee, up to $5 of that fee collected per month may be
used to provide services to crime victims and their families.
The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
probation department, or has been transferred either under

HB3655 Engrossed - 2213 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate
compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the
department supervising the offender, based on the offender's
ability to pay.
Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee
under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616.
This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the
93rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
increase.
(i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation
department has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined
in the Sex Offender Management Board Act), the court or the
probation department shall assess additional fees to pay for
all costs of treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and
treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that
offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or
under a payment plan.
(j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under the Criminal

HB3655 Engrossed - 2214 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and Traffic Assessment Act.
(k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
court or probation department has determined to be sexually
motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
required by the court or the probation department.
(l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as
provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

(3) If a State law enforcement agency in combination
with a law enforcement agency or agencies of a unit or
units of local government conducted the seizure, the court
shall equitably allocate 37 1/2% of the fines to or among
the law enforcement agency or agencies of the unit or
units of local government which conducted the seizure and
shall allocate 50% to the county general corporate fund.
(c) The proceeds of all fines allocated to the law
enforcement agency or agencies of the unit or units of local

cannabis; to satisfy funding provisions of the
Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act; and to defray
costs and expenses associated with returning violators of the
Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
and the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act
only, as provided in those Acts, when punishment of the crime
shall be confinement of the criminal in the penitentiary.

service; failure to make return.
(a) Process shall be served by a sheriff, or if the sheriff
is disqualified, by a coroner of some county of the State. In
matters where the county or State is an interested party,
process may be served by a special investigator appointed by
the State's Attorney of the county, as defined in Section
3-9005 of the Counties Code. A sheriff of a county with a
population of less than 2,000,000 may employ civilian
personnel to serve process. In counties with a population of
less than 2,000,000, process may be served, without special
appointment, by a person who is licensed or registered as a
private detective under the Private Detective, Private Alarm,
Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of
2004 or by a registered employee of a private detective agency
certified under that Act as defined in Section (a-5). A
private detective or licensed employee must supply the sheriff
of any county in which he serves process with a copy of his
license or certificate; however, the failure of a person to
supply the copy shall not in any way impair the validity of
process served by the person. The court may, in its discretion
upon motion, order service to be made by a private person over
18 years of age and not a party to the action. It is not
necessary that service be made by a sheriff or coroner of the
county in which service is made. If served or sought to be
served by a sheriff or coroner, he or she shall endorse his or
her return thereon, and if by a private person the return shall

HB3655 Engrossed - 2309 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
be by affidavit.
(a-5) Upon motion and in its discretion, the court may
appoint as a special process server a private detective agency
certified under the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private
Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004. Under
the appointment, any employee of the private detective agency
who is registered under that Act may serve the process. The
motion and the order of appointment must contain the number of
the certificate issued to the private detective agency by the
Department of Professional Regulation under the Private
Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint
Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004. A private detective or
private detective agency shall send, one time only, a copy of
his, her, or its individual private detective license or
private detective agency certificate to the county sheriff in
each county in which the detective or detective agency or his,
her, or its employees serve process, regardless of the size of
the population of the county. As long as the license or
certificate is valid and meets the requirements of the
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, a new
copy of the current license or certificate need not be sent to
the sheriff. A private detective agency shall maintain a list
of its registered employees. Registered employees shall
consist of:
(1) an employee who works for the agency holding a
valid Permanent Employee Registration Card;

HB3655 Engrossed - 2310 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(2) a person who has applied for a Permanent Employee
Registration Card, has had his or her fingerprints
processed and cleared by the Illinois Department of State
Police and the FBI, and as to whom the Department of
Financial and Professional Regulation website shows that
the person's application for a Permanent Employee
Registration Card is pending;
(3) a person employed by a private detective agency
who is exempt from a Permanent Employee Registration Card
requirement because the person is a current peace officer;
and
(4) a private detective who works for a private
detective agency as an employee.
A detective agency shall maintain this list and forward it to
any sheriff's department that requests this list within 5
business days after the receipt of the request.
(b) Summons may be served upon the defendants wherever
they may be found in the State, by any person authorized to
serve process. An officer may serve summons in his or her
official capacity outside his or her county, but fees for
mileage outside the county of the officer cannot be taxed as
costs. The person serving the process in a foreign county may
make return by mail.
(c) If any sheriff, coroner, or other person to whom any
process is delivered, neglects or refuses to make return of
the same, the plaintiff may petition the court to enter a rule

HB3655 Engrossed - 2311 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
requiring the sheriff, coroner, or other person, to make
return of the process on a day to be fixed by the court, or to
show cause on that day why that person should not be attached
for contempt of the court. The plaintiff shall then cause a
written notice of the rule to be served on the sheriff,
coroner, or other person. If good and sufficient cause be not
shown to excuse the officer or other person, the court shall
adjudge him or her guilty of a contempt, and shall impose
punishment as in other cases of contempt.
(d) If process is served by a sheriff, coroner, or special
investigator appointed by the State's Attorney, the court may
tax the fee of the sheriff, coroner, or State's Attorney's
special investigator as costs in the proceeding. If process is
served by a private person or entity, the court may establish a
fee therefor and tax such fee as costs in the proceedings.
(e) In addition to the powers stated in Section 8.1a of the
Housing Authorities Act, in counties with a population of
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, members of a housing authority
police force may serve process for eviction actions commenced
by that housing authority and may execute eviction orders for
that housing authority.
(f) In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more,
process may be served, with special appointment by the court,
by a private process server or a law enforcement agency other

obstacles in the law and that such persons should have an
available avenue to obtain a finding of innocence so that they
may obtain relief through a petition in the Court of Claims.
The General Assembly further finds misleading the current
legal nomenclature which compels an innocent person to seek a
pardon for being wrongfully incarcerated. It is the intent of
the General Assembly that the court, in exercising its
discretion as permitted by law regarding the weight and
admissibility of evidence submitted pursuant to this Section,
shall, in the interest of justice, give due consideration to
difficulties of proof caused by the passage of time, the death
or unavailability of witnesses, the destruction of evidence or
other factors not caused by such persons or those acting on
their behalf.

(b) Any person convicted and subsequently imprisoned for
one or more felonies by the State of Illinois which he or she
did not commit may, under the conditions hereinafter provided,
file a petition for certificate of innocence in the circuit
court of the county in which the person was convicted. The
petition shall request a certificate of innocence finding that
the petitioner was innocent of all offenses for which he or she
was incarcerated.
(c) In order to present the claim for certificate of
innocence of an unjust conviction and imprisonment, the
petitioner must attach to his or her petition documentation
demonstrating that:
(1) he or she has been convicted of one or more
felonies by the State of Illinois and subsequently
sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and has served all or
any part of the sentence; and
(2) his or her judgment of conviction was reversed or
vacated, and the indictment or information dismissed or,
if a new trial was ordered, either he or she was found not
guilty at the new trial or he or she was not retried and
the indictment or information dismissed; or the statute,
or application thereof, on which the indictment or
information was based violated the Constitution of the
United States or the State of Illinois; and
(3) his or her claim is not time barred by the
provisions of subsection (i) of this Section.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2314 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(d) The petition shall state facts in sufficient detail to
permit the court to find that the petitioner is likely to
succeed at trial in proving that the petitioner is innocent of
the offenses charged in the indictment or information or his
or her acts or omissions charged in the indictment or
information did not constitute a felony or misdemeanor against
the State of Illinois, and the petitioner did not by his or her
own conduct voluntarily cause or bring about his or her
conviction. The petition shall be verified by the petitioner.
(e) A copy of the petition shall be served on the Attorney
General and the State's Attorney of the county where the
conviction was had. The Attorney General and the State's
Attorney of the county where the conviction was had shall have
the right to intervene as parties.
(f) In any hearing seeking a certificate of innocence, the
court may take judicial notice of prior sworn testimony or
evidence admitted in the criminal proceedings related to the
convictions which resulted in the alleged wrongful
incarceration, if the petitioner was either represented by
counsel at such prior proceedings or the right to counsel was
knowingly waived.
(g) In order to obtain a certificate of innocence the
petitioner must prove by a preponderance of evidence that:
(1) the petitioner was convicted of one or more
felonies by the State of Illinois and subsequently
sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and has served all or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2315 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
any part of the sentence;
(2)(A) the judgment of conviction was reversed or
vacated, and the indictment or information dismissed or,
if a new trial was ordered, either the petitioner was
found not guilty at the new trial or the petitioner was not
retried and the indictment or information dismissed; or
(B) the statute, or application thereof, on which the
indictment or information was based violated the
Constitution of the United States or the State of
Illinois;
(3) the petitioner is innocent of the offenses charged
in the indictment or information or his or her acts or
omissions charged in the indictment or information did not
constitute a felony or misdemeanor against the State; and
(4) the petitioner did not by his or her own conduct
voluntarily cause or bring about his or her conviction.
(h) If the court finds that the petitioner is entitled to a
judgment, it shall enter a certificate of innocence finding
that the petitioner was innocent of all offenses for which he
or she was incarcerated. Upon entry of the certificate of
innocence or pardon from the Governor stating that such pardon
was issued on the ground of innocence of the crime for which he
or she was imprisoned, (1) the clerk of the court shall
transmit a copy of the certificate of innocence to the clerk of
the Court of Claims, together with the claimant's current
address; and (2) the court shall enter an order expunging the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2316 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
record of arrest from the official records of the arresting
authority and order that the records of the clerk of the
circuit court and the Illinois Department of State Police be
sealed until further order of the court upon good cause shown
or as otherwise provided herein, and the name of the defendant
obliterated from the official index requested to be kept by
the circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of
Courts Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for
the offense but the order shall not affect any index issued by
the circuit court clerk before the entry of the order. The
court shall enter the expungement order regardless of whether
the petitioner has prior criminal convictions.
All records sealed by the Illinois Department of State
Police may be disseminated by the Department only as required
by law or to the arresting authority, the State's Attorney,
the court upon a later arrest for the same or similar offense,
or for the purpose of sentencing for any subsequent felony.
Upon conviction for any subsequent offense, the Department of
Corrections shall have access to all sealed records of the
Department pertaining to that individual.
Upon entry of the order of expungement, the clerk of the
circuit court shall promptly mail a copy of the order to the
person whose records were expunged and sealed.
(i) Any person seeking a certificate of innocence under
this Section based on the dismissal of an indictment or
information or acquittal that occurred before the effective

HB3655 Engrossed - 2317 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall
file his or her petition within 2 years after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. Any
person seeking a certificate of innocence under this Section
based on the dismissal of an indictment or information or
acquittal that occurred on or after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall file his or
her petition within 2 years after the dismissal.
(j) The decision to grant or deny a certificate of
innocence shall be binding only with respect to claims filed
in the Court of Claims and shall not have a res judicata effect
on any other proceedings.

Sec. 21-101. Proceedings; parties.
(a) If any person who is a resident of this State and has
resided in this State for 6 months desires to change his or her
name and to assume another name by which to be afterwards
called and known, the person may file a petition in the circuit
court of the county wherein he or she resides praying for that
relief.
(b) The filing of a petition in accordance with this
Section shall be the sole and exclusive means by which any
person committed under the laws of this State to a penal
institution may change his or her name and assume another

HB3655 Engrossed - 2318 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
name. However, any person convicted of a felony in this State
or any other state who has not been pardoned may not file a
petition for a name change until 10 years have passed since
completion and discharge from his or her sentence. A person
who has been convicted of identity theft, aggravated identity
theft, felony or misdemeanor criminal sexual abuse when the
victim of the offense at the time of its commission is under 18
years of age, felony or misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a
child, felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of a child,
or felony or misdemeanor indecent solicitation of an adult, or
any other offense for which a person is required to register
under the Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any
other state who has not been pardoned shall not be permitted to
file a petition for a name change in the courts of Illinois.
(c) A petitioner may include his or her spouse and adult
unmarried children, with their consent, and his or her minor
children where it appears to the court that it is for their
best interest, in the petition and prayer, and the court's
order shall then include the spouse and children. Whenever any
minor has resided in the family of any person for the space of
3 years and has been recognized and known as an adopted child
in the family of that person, the application herein provided
for may be made by the person having that minor in his or her
family.
An order shall be entered as to a minor only if the court
finds by clear and convincing evidence that the change is

HB3655 Engrossed - 2319 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
necessary to serve the best interest of the child. In
determining the best interest of a minor child under this
Section, the court shall consider all relevant factors,
including:
(1) The wishes of the child's parents and any person
acting as a parent who has physical custody of the child.
(2) The wishes of the child and the reasons for those
wishes. The court may interview the child in chambers to
ascertain the child's wishes with respect to the change of
name. Counsel shall be present at the interview unless
otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The court shall
cause a court reporter to be present who shall make a
complete record of the interview instantaneously to be
part of the record in the case.
(3) The interaction and interrelationship of the child
with his or her parents or persons acting as parents who
have physical custody of the child, step-parents,
siblings, step-siblings, or any other person who may
significantly affect the child's best interest.
(4) The child's adjustment to his or her home, school,
and community.
(d) If it appears to the court that the conditions and
requirements under this Article have been complied with and
that there is no reason why the prayer should not be granted,
the court, by an order to be entered of record, may direct and
provide that the name of that person be changed in accordance

HB3655 Engrossed - 2320 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
with the prayer in the petition. If the circuit court orders
that a name change be granted to a person who has been
adjudicated or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense
under the laws of this State or any other state for which a
pardon has not been granted, or has an arrest for which a
charge has not been filed or a pending charge on a felony or
misdemeanor offense, a copy of the order, including a copy of
each applicable access and review response, shall be forwarded
to the Illinois Department of State Police. The Illinois
Department of State Police shall update any criminal history
transcript or offender registration of each person 18 years of
age or older in the order to include the change of name as well
as his or her former name.

(a) The petition shall set forth the name then held, the
name sought to be assumed, the residence of the petitioner,
the length of time the petitioner has resided in this State,
and the state or country of the petitioner's nativity or
supposed nativity. The petition shall include a statement,
verified under oath as provided under Section 1-109 of this
Code, whether or not the petitioner or any other person 18
years of age or older who will be subject to a change of name
under the petition if granted: (1) has been adjudicated or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2321 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense under the laws of
this State or any other state for which a pardon has not been
granted; or (2) has an arrest for which a charge has not been
filed or a pending charge on a felony or misdemeanor offense.
The petition shall be signed by the person petitioning or, in
case of minors, by the parent or guardian having the legal
custody of the minor. The petition shall be verified by the
affidavit of some credible person.
(b) If the statement provided under subsection (a) of this
Section indicates the petitioner or any other person 18 years
of age or older who will be subject to a change of name under
the petition, if granted, has been adjudicated or convicted of
a felony or misdemeanor offense under the laws of this State or
any other state for which a pardon has not been granted, or has
an arrest for which a charge has not been filed or a pending
charge on a felony or misdemeanor offense, the State's
Attorney may request the court to or the court may on its own
motion, require the person, prior to a hearing on the
petition, to initiate an update of his or her criminal history
transcript with the Illinois Department of State Police. The
Department shall allow a person to use the Access and Review
process, established by rule in the Department, for this
purpose. Upon completion of the update of the criminal history
transcript, the petitioner shall file confirmation of each
update with the court, which shall seal the records from
disclosure outside of court proceedings on the petition.

(a) Previous notice shall be given of the intended
application by publishing a notice thereof in some newspaper
published in the municipality in which the person resides if
the municipality is in a county with a population under
2,000,000, or if the person does not reside in a municipality
in a county with a population under 2,000,000, or if no
newspaper is published in the municipality or if the person
resides in a county with a population of 2,000,000 or more,
then in some newspaper published in the county where the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2323 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
person resides, or if no newspaper is published in that
county, then in some convenient newspaper published in this
State. The notice shall be inserted for 3 consecutive weeks
after filing, the first insertion to be at least 6 weeks before
the return day upon which the petition is to be heard, and
shall be signed by the petitioner or, in case of a minor, the
minor's parent or guardian, and shall set forth the return day
of court on which the petition is to be heard and the name
sought to be assumed.
(b) The publication requirement of subsection (a) shall
not be required in any application for a change of name
involving a minor if, before making judgment under this
Article, reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard is
given to any parent whose parental rights have not been
previously terminated and to any person who has physical
custody of the child. If any of these persons are outside this
State, notice and opportunity to be heard shall be given under
Section 21-104.
(b-3) The publication requirement of subsection (a) shall
not be required in any application for a change of name
involving a person who has received a judgment for dissolution
of marriage or declaration of invalidity of marriage and
wishes to change his or her name to resume the use of his or
her former or maiden name.
(b-5) Upon motion, the court may issue an order directing
that the notice and publication requirement be waived for a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2324 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
change of name involving a person who files with the court a
written declaration that the person believes that publishing
notice of the name change would put the person at risk of
physical harm or discrimination. The person must provide
evidence to support the claim that publishing notice of the
name change would put the person at risk of physical harm or
discrimination.
(c) The Director of the Illinois State Police or his or her
designee may apply to the circuit court for an order directing
that the notice and publication requirements of this Section
be waived if the Director or his or her designee certifies that
the name change being sought is intended to protect a witness
during and following a criminal investigation or proceeding.
(c-1) The court may enter a written order waiving the
publication requirement of subsection (a) if:
(i) the petitioner is 18 years of age or older; and
(ii) concurrent with the petition, the petitioner
files with the court a statement, verified under oath as
provided under Section 1-109 of this Code, attesting that
the petitioner is or has been a person protected under the
Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, the Stalking No
Contact Order Act, the Civil No Contact Order Act, Article
112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, a
condition of bail under subsections (b) through (d) of

or a similar provision of a law in another state or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2325 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
jurisdiction.
The petitioner may attach to the statement any supporting
documents, including relevant court orders.
(c-2) If the petitioner files a statement attesting that
disclosure of the petitioner's address would put the
petitioner or any member of the petitioner's family or
household at risk or reveal the confidential address of a
shelter for domestic violence victims, that address may be
omitted from all documents filed with the court, and the
petitioner may designate an alternative address for service.
(c-3) Court administrators may allow domestic abuse
advocates, rape crisis advocates, and victim advocates to
assist petitioners in the preparation of name changes under
subsection (c-1).
(c-4) If the publication requirements of subsection (a)
have been waived, the circuit court shall enter an order
impounding the case.
(d) The maximum rate charged for publication of a notice
under this Section may not exceed the lowest classified rate
paid by commercial users for comparable space in the newspaper
in which the notice appears and shall include all cash

Section 1100. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
by changing Sections 80, 115, and 135 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 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2327 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 other injunctive relief the court determines
to be necessary to protect the petitioner or 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2328 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2329 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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
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.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2330 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(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 Illinois
Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
Office.

Sec. 115. Notice of orders.
(a) Upon issuance of any stalking no contact order, the
clerk shall immediately:
(1) enter the order on the record and file it in
accordance with the circuit court procedures; and
(2) provide a file stamped copy of the order to the
respondent, if present, and to the petitioner.
(b) The clerk of the issuing judge shall, or the
petitioner may, on the same day that a stalking no contact
order is issued, file a certified copy of that order with the
sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with
maintaining Illinois Department of State Police records or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2331 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
charged with serving the order upon the respondent. If the
respondent, at the time of the issuance of the order, is
committed to the custody of the Illinois Department of
Corrections or Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice or is
on parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release,
the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with
maintaining Illinois Department of State Police records shall
notify the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile
Justice within 48 hours of receipt of a copy of the stalking no
contact order from the clerk of the issuing judge or the
petitioner. Such notice shall include the name of the
respondent, the respondent's IDOC inmate number or IDJJ youth
identification number, the respondent's date of birth, and the
LEADS Record Index Number.
(c) Unless the respondent was present in court when the
order was issued, the sheriff, other law enforcement official,
or special process server shall promptly serve that order upon
the respondent and file proof of such service in the manner
provided for service of process in civil proceedings. Instead
of serving the order upon the respondent, however, the
sheriff, other law enforcement official, special process
server, or other persons defined in Section 117 may serve the
respondent with a short form notification as provided in
Section 117. If process has not yet been served upon the
respondent, it shall be served with the order or short form
notification if such service is made by the sheriff, other law

HB3655 Engrossed - 2332 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
enforcement official, or special process server.
(d) If the person against whom the stalking no contact
order is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in
accordance with subsection (c) of Section 95 and received by
the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or
arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law
enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the
respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is
released from custody. In no event shall detention of the
respondent or arrestee be extended for hearing on the petition
for stalking no contact order or receipt of the order issued
under Section 95 of this Act.
(e) Any order extending, modifying, or revoking any
stalking no contact order shall be promptly recorded, issued,
and served as provided in this Section.
(f) Upon the request of the petitioner, within 24 hours of
the issuance of a stalking no contact order, the clerk of the
issuing judge shall send written notice of the order along
with a certified copy of the order to any school, daycare,
college, or university at which the petitioner is enrolled.

detail the Department requires, copies of any recorded
emergency or plenary stalking no contact orders issued by the
court and transmitted to the sheriff by the clerk of the court
in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 115 of this Act.
Each stalking no contact order shall be entered in the Law
Enforcement Agencies Data System on the same day it is issued
by the court. If an emergency stalking no contact order was
issued in accordance with subsection (c) of Section 100, the
order shall be entered in the Law Enforcement Agencies Data
System as soon as possible after receipt from the clerk of the
court.
(b) The Illinois Department of State Police shall maintain
a complete and systematic record and index of all valid and
recorded stalking no contact orders issued under this Act. The
data shall be used to inform all dispatchers and law
enforcement officers at the scene of an alleged incident of
stalking or violation of a stalking no contact order of any
recorded prior incident of stalking involving the petitioner
and the effective dates and terms of any recorded stalking no

Sec. 218. Notice of orders.
(a) Upon issuance of any civil no contact order, the clerk
shall immediately:
(1) enter the order on the record and file it in
accordance with the circuit court procedures; and
(2) provide a file stamped copy of the order to the
respondent, if present, and to the petitioner.
(b) The clerk of the issuing judge shall, or the
petitioner may, on the same day that a civil no contact order
is issued, file a certified copy of that order with the sheriff
or other law enforcement officials charged with maintaining
Illinois Department of State Police records or charged with
serving the order upon the respondent. If the respondent, at
the time of the issuance of the order, is committed to the
custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections or Illinois
Department of Juvenile Justice, or is on parole, aftercare
release, or mandatory supervised release, the sheriff or other
law enforcement officials charged with maintaining Illinois
Department of State Police records shall notify the Department
of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice within 48
hours of receipt of a copy of the civil no contact order from
the clerk of the issuing judge or the petitioner. Such notice
shall include the name of the respondent, the respondent's
IDOC inmate number or IDJJ youth identification number, the
respondent's date of birth, and the LEADS Record Index Number.
(c) Unless the respondent was present in court when the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2335 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
order was issued, the sheriff, other law enforcement official,
or special process server shall promptly serve that order upon
the respondent and file proof of such service in the manner
provided for service of process in civil proceedings. Instead
of serving the order upon the respondent, however, the
sheriff, other law enforcement official, special process
server, or other persons defined in Section 218.1 may serve
the respondent with a short form notification as provided in
Section 218.1. If process has not yet been served upon the
respondent, it shall be served with the order or short form
notification if such service is made by the sheriff, other law
enforcement official, or special process server.
(d) If the person against whom the civil no contact order
is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in
accordance with subsection (c) of Section 214 and received by
the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or
arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law
enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the
respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is
released from custody. In no event shall detention of the
respondent or arrestee be extended for hearing on the petition
for civil no contact order or receipt of the order issued under
Section 214 of this Act.
(e) Any order extending, modifying, or revoking any civil
no contact order shall be promptly recorded, issued, and
served as provided in this Section.

court and transmitted to the sheriff by the clerk of the court
in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 218 of this Act.
Each civil no contact order shall be entered in the Law
Enforcement Agencies Data System on the same day it is issued
by the court. If an emergency civil no contact order was issued
in accordance with subsection (c) of Section 214, the order
shall be entered in the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System
as soon as possible after receipt from the clerk of the court.
(b) The Illinois Department of State Police shall maintain
a complete and systematic record and index of all valid and
recorded civil no contact orders issued under this Act. The
data shall be used to inform all dispatchers and law
enforcement officers at the scene of an alleged incident of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2337 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual sexual

Nuisance Act is amended by changing Sections 1, 3, and 7 as

Sec. 1. As used in this Act unless the context otherwise
requires:
"Department" means the Department of State Police of the
State of Illinois.
"Controlled Substances" means any substance as defined and
included in the Schedules of Article II of the "Illinois
Controlled Substances Act," and cannabis as defined in the
"Cannabis Control Act" enacted by the 77th General Assembly.
"Place" means any store, shop, warehouse, dwelling house,
building, apartment or any place whatever.
"Nuisance" means any place at which or in which controlled
substances are unlawfully sold, possessed, served, stored,
delivered, manufactured, cultivated, given away or used more

HB3655 Engrossed - 2338 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
than once within a period of one year.
"Person" means any corporation, association, partner, or
one or more individuals.
(Source: P.A. 87-765.)
(740 ILCS 40/3) (from Ch. 100 1/2, par. 16)
Sec. 3. (a) The Illinois State Police Department or the
State's Attorney or any citizen of the county in which a
nuisance exists may file a complaint in the name of the People
of the State of Illinois to enjoin all persons from
maintaining or permitting such nuisance, to abate the same and
to enjoin the use of any such place for the period of one year.
(b) Upon the filing of a complaint by the State's Attorney
or the Illinois State Police Department in which the complaint
states that irreparable injury, loss or damage will result to
the People of the State of Illinois, the court shall enter a
temporary restraining order without notice enjoining the
maintenance of such nuisance, upon testimony under oath,
affidavit, or verified complaint containing facts sufficient,
if sustained, to justify the court in entering a preliminary
injunction upon a hearing after notice. Every such temporary
restraining order entered without notice shall be endorsed
with the date and hour of entry of the order, shall be filed of
record, and shall expire by its terms within such time after
entry, not to exceed 10 days as fixed by the court, unless the
temporary restraining order, for good cause, is extended for a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2339 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
like period or unless the party against whom the order is
directed consents that it may be extended for a longer period.
The reason for extension shall be shown in the order. In case a
temporary restraining order is entered without notice, the
motion for a permanent injunction shall be set down for
hearing at the earliest possible time and takes precedence
over all matters except older matters of the same character,
and when the motion comes on for hearing, the Illinois State
Police Department or State's Attorney, as the case may be,
shall proceed with the application for a permanent injunction,
and, if he does not do so, the court shall dissolve the
temporary restraining order. On 2 days' notice to the Illinois
State Police Department or State's Attorney, as the case may
be, the defendant may appear and move the dissolution or
modification of such temporary restraining order and in that
event the court shall proceed to hear and determine such
motion as expeditiously as the ends of justice require.
(c) Upon the filing of the complaint by a citizen or the
Illinois State Police Department or the State's Attorney (in
cases in which the Illinois State Police Department or State's
Attorney does not request injunctive relief without notice) in
the circuit court, the court, if satisfied that the nuisance
complained of exists, shall allow a temporary restraining
order, with bond unless the application is filed by the
Illinois State Police Department or State's Attorney, in such
amount as the court may determine, enjoining the defendant

HB3655 Engrossed - 2340 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
from maintaining any such nuisance within the jurisdiction of
the court granting the injunctive relief. However, no such
injunctive relief shall be granted, except on behalf of an
owner or agent, unless it be made to appear to the satisfaction
of the court that the owner or agent of such place knew or had
been personally served with a notice signed by the plaintiff
and that such notice has been served upon such owner or such
agent of such place at least 5 days prior thereto, that such
place, specifically describing the same, was being so used,
naming the date or dates of its being so used, and that such
owner or agent had failed to abate such nuisance, or that upon
diligent inquiry such owner or agent could not be found for the
service of such preliminary notice. The lessee, if any, of
such place shall be made a party defendant to such petition. If
the property owner is a corporation and the Illinois State
Police Department or the State's Attorney sends the
preliminary notice to the corporate address registered with
the Secretary of State, such action shall create a rebuttable
presumption that the parties have acted with due diligence and
the court may grant injunctive relief.
(d) In all cases in which the complaint is filed by a
citizen, such complaint shall be verified.

Sec. 7. The proceeds of the sale of the movable property

HB3655 Engrossed - 2341 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
shall be applied in payment of the costs of the proceeding, and
the balance, if any, shall be forwarded by the clerk of the
circuit court to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Drug
Treatment Fund, which is established as a special fund within
the State Treasury. The Department of Human Services may make
grants to persons licensed under Section 15-10 of the
Substance Use Disorder Act or to municipalities or counties
from funds appropriated to the Illinois State Police
Department from the Drug Treatment Fund for the treatment of
persons addicted to alcohol, cannabis, or controlled
substances. The Illinois State Police Department may adopt any
rules it deems appropriate for the administration of these
grants. The Illinois State Police Department shall ensure that
the moneys collected in each county be returned
proportionately to the counties through grants to licensees
located within the county in which the assessment was
collected. Moneys in the Fund shall not supplant other local,
state or federal funds.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2355 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(A) proceed with the action, in which case the
action shall be conducted by the State; or
(B) notify the court that it declines to take over
the action, in which case the person bringing the
action shall have the right to conduct the action.
(5) When a person brings an action under this
subsection (b), no person other than the State may
intervene or bring a related action based on the facts
underlying the pending action.
(c) Rights of the parties to Qui Tam actions.
(1) If the State proceeds with the action, it shall
have the primary responsibility for prosecuting the
action, and shall not be bound by an act of the person
bringing the action. Such person shall have the right to
continue as a party to the action, subject to the
limitations set forth in paragraph (2).
(2)(A) The State may dismiss the action
notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
the action if the person has been notified by the State of
the filing of the motion and the court has provided the
person with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion.
(B) The State may settle the action with the defendant
notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
the action if the court determines, after a hearing, that
the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable
under all the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause,

HB3655 Engrossed - 2356 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
such hearing may be held in camera.
(C) Upon a showing by the State that unrestricted
participation during the course of the litigation by the
person initiating the action would interfere with or
unduly delay the State's prosecution of the case, or would
be repetitious, irrelevant, or for purposes of harassment,
the court may, in its discretion, impose limitations on
the person's participation, such as:
(i) limiting the number of witnesses the person
may call:
(ii) limiting the length of the testimony of such
witnesses;
(iii) limiting the person's cross-examination of
witnesses; or
(iv) otherwise limiting the participation by the
person in the litigation.
(D) Upon a showing by the defendant that unrestricted
participation during the course of the litigation by the
person initiating the action would be for purposes of
harassment or would cause the defendant undue burden or
unnecessary expense, the court may limit the participation
by the person in the litigation.
(3) If the State elects not to proceed with the
action, the person who initiated the action shall have the
right to conduct the action. If the State so requests, it
shall be served with copies of all pleadings filed in the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2357 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
action and shall be supplied with copies of all deposition
transcripts (at the State's expense). When a person
proceeds with the action, the court, without limiting the
status and rights of the person initiating the action, may
nevertheless permit the State to intervene at a later date
upon a showing of good cause.
(4) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
upon a showing by the State that certain actions of
discovery by the person initiating the action would
interfere with the State's investigation or prosecution of
a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts,
the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more
than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera.
The court may extend the 60-day period upon a further
showing in camera that the State has pursued the criminal
or civil investigation or proceedings with reasonable
diligence and any proposed discovery in the civil action
will interfere with the ongoing criminal or civil
investigation or proceedings.
(5) Notwithstanding subsection (b), the State may
elect to pursue its claim through any alternate remedy
available to the State, including any administrative
proceeding to determine a civil money penalty. If any such
alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the
person initiating the action shall have the same rights in
such proceeding as such person would have had if the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2358 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
action had continued under this Section. Any finding of
fact or conclusion of law made in such other proceeding
that has become final shall be conclusive on all parties
to an action under this Section. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, a finding or conclusion is final if it
has been finally determined on appeal to the appropriate
court, if all time for filing such an appeal with respect
to the finding or conclusion has expired, or if the
finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
(d) Award to Qui Tam plaintiff.
(1) If the State proceeds with an action brought by a
person under subsection (b), such person shall, subject to
the second sentence of this paragraph, receive at least
15% but not more than 25% of the proceeds of the action or
settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to
which the person substantially contributed to the
prosecution of the action. Where the action is one which
the court finds to be based primarily on disclosures of
specific information (other than information provided by
the person bringing the action) relating to allegations or
transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative
hearing, in a legislative, administrative, or Auditor
General's report, hearing, audit, or investigation, or
from the news media, the court may award such sums as it
considers appropriate, but in no case more than 10% of the
proceeds, taking into account the significance of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2359 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
information and the role of the person bringing the action
in advancing the case to litigation. Any payment to a
person under the first or second sentence of this
paragraph (1) shall be made from the proceeds. Any such
person shall also receive an amount for reasonable
expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily
incurred, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The
State shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses
which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred by
the Attorney General, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be
awarded against the defendant. The court may award amounts
from the proceeds of an action or settlement that it
considers appropriate to any governmental entity or
program that has been adversely affected by a defendant.
The Attorney General, if necessary, shall direct the State
Treasurer to make a disbursement of funds as provided in
court orders or settlement agreements.
(2) If the State does not proceed with an action under
this Section, the person bringing the action or settling
the claim shall receive an amount which the court decides
is reasonable for collecting the civil penalty and
damages. The amount shall be not less than 25% and not more
than 30% of the proceeds of the action or settlement and
shall be paid out of such proceeds. Such person shall also
receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court

HB3655 Engrossed - 2360 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and
costs shall be awarded against the defendant. The court
may award amounts from the proceeds of an action or
settlement that it considers appropriate to any
governmental entity or program that has been adversely
affected by a defendant. The Attorney General, if
necessary, shall direct the State Treasurer to make a
disbursement of funds as provided in court orders or
settlement agreements.
(3) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
if the court finds that the action was brought by a person
who planned and initiated the violation of Section 3 upon
which the action was brought, then the court may, to the
extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share
of the proceeds of the action which the person would
otherwise receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this
subsection (d), taking into account the role of that
person in advancing the case to litigation and any
relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If the
person bringing the action is convicted of criminal
conduct arising from his or her role in the violation of
Section 3, that person shall be dismissed from the civil
action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of
the action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right
of the State to continue the action, represented by the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2361 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Attorney General.
(4) If the State does not proceed with the action and
the person bringing the action conducts the action, the
court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses if the defendant prevails in the action
and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing
the action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or
brought primarily for purposes of harassment.
(e) Certain actions barred.
(1) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
brought by a former or present member of the Guard under
subsection (b) of this Section against a member of the
Guard arising out of such person's service in the Guard.
(2)(A) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
brought under subsection (b) against a member of the
General Assembly, a member of the judiciary, or an exempt
official if the action is based on evidence or information
known to the State when the action was brought.
(B) For purposes of this paragraph (2), "exempt
official" means any of the following officials in State
service: directors of departments established under the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois, the Adjutant
General, the Assistant Adjutant General, the Director of
the State Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, members
of the boards and commissions, and all other positions
appointed by the Governor by and with the consent of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2362 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Senate.
(3) In no event may a person bring an action under
subsection (b) which is based upon allegations or
transactions which are the subject of a civil suit or an
administrative civil money penalty proceeding in which the
State is already a party.
(4)(A) The court shall dismiss an action or claim
under this Section, unless opposed by the State, if
substantially the same allegations or transactions as
alleged in the action or claim were publicly disclosed:
(i) in a criminal, civil, or administrative
hearing in which the State or its agent is a party;
(ii) in a State legislative, State Auditor
General, or other State report, hearing, audit, or
investigation; or
(iii) from the news media,
unless the action is brought by the Attorney General or
the person bringing the action is an original source of
the information.
(B) For purposes of this paragraph (4), "original
source" means an individual who either (i) prior to a
public disclosure under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph
(4), has voluntarily disclosed to the State the
information on which allegations or transactions in a
claim are based, or (ii) has knowledge that is independent
of and materially adds to the publicly disclosed

HB3655 Engrossed - 2363 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
allegations or transactions, and who has voluntarily
provided the information to the State before filing an
action under this Section.
(f) State not liable for certain expenses. The State is
not liable for expenses which a person incurs in bringing an
action under this Section.
(g) Relief from retaliatory actions.
(1) In general, any employee, contractor, or agent
shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make that
employee, contractor, or agent whole, if that employee,
contractor, or agent is discharged, demoted, suspended,
threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated
against in the terms and conditions of employment because
of lawful acts done by the employee, contractor, agent, or
associated others in furtherance of an action under this
Section or other efforts to stop one or more violations of
this Act.
(2) Relief under paragraph (1) shall include
reinstatement with the same seniority status that the
employee, contractor, or agent would have had but for the
discrimination, 2 times the amount of back pay, interest
on the back pay, and compensation for any special damages
sustained as a result of the discrimination, including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. An action
under this subsection (g) may be brought in the
appropriate circuit court for the relief provided in this

HB3655 Engrossed - 2364 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
subsection (g).
(3) A civil action under this subsection may not be
brought more than 3 years after the date when the
retaliation occurred.

Section 1130. The Adoption Act is amended by changing

HB3655 Engrossed - 2370 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Sections 6 and 12.3 as follows:
(750 ILCS 50/6) (from Ch. 40, par. 1508)
Sec. 6. A. Investigation; all cases. Within 10 days after
the filing of a petition for the adoption or standby adoption
of a child other than a related child, the court shall appoint
a child welfare agency approved by the Department of Children
and Family Services, or a person deemed competent by the
court, or in Cook County the Court Services Division of the
Cook County Department of Public Aid, or the Department of
Children and Family Services if the court determines that no
child welfare agency is available or that the petitioner is
financially unable to pay for the investigation, to
investigate accurately, fully and promptly, the allegations
contained in the petition; the character, reputation, health
and general standing in the community of the petitioners; the
religious faith of the petitioners and, if ascertainable, of
the child sought to be adopted; and whether the petitioners
are proper persons to adopt the child and whether the child is
a proper subject of adoption. The investigation required under
this Section shall include a fingerprint based criminal
background check with a review of fingerprints by the Illinois
State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Each
petitioner subject to this investigation, shall submit his or
her fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in
the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2371 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
State Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against the
fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation
criminal history records databases. The Illinois Department of
State Police shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal
history records check, which shall be deposited in the State
Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of
the records check. The criminal background check required by
this Section shall include a listing of when, where and by whom
the criminal background check was prepared. The criminal
background check required by this Section shall not be more
than two years old.
Neither a clerk of the circuit court nor a judge may
require that a criminal background check or fingerprint review
be filed with, or at the same time as, an initial petition for
adoption.
B. Investigation; foreign-born child. In the case of a
child born outside the United States or a territory thereof,
in addition to the investigation required under subsection (A)
of this Section, a post-placement investigation shall be
conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Child
Care Act of 1969, the Interstate Compact on the Placement of
Children, and the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000.
The requirements of a post-placement investigation shall
be deemed to have been satisfied if a valid final order or
judgment of adoption has been entered by a court of competent

HB3655 Engrossed - 2372 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
jurisdiction in a country other than the United States or a
territory thereof with respect to such child and the
petitioners.
C. Report of investigation. The court shall determine
whether the costs of the investigation shall be charged to the
petitioners. The information obtained as a result of such
investigation shall be presented to the court in a written
report. The results of the criminal background check required
under subsection (A) shall be provided to the court for its
review. The court may, in its discretion, weigh the
significance of the results of the criminal background check
against the entirety of the background of the petitioners. The
Court, in its discretion, may accept the report of the
investigation previously made by a licensed child welfare
agency, if made within one year prior to the entry of the
judgment. Such report shall be treated as confidential and
withheld from inspection unless findings adverse to the
petitioners or to the child sought to be adopted are contained
therein, and in that event the court shall inform the
petitioners of the relevant portions pertaining to the adverse
findings. In no event shall any facts set forth in the report
be considered at the hearing of the proceeding, unless
established by competent evidence. The report shall be filed
with the record of the proceeding. If the file relating to the
proceeding is not impounded, the report shall be impounded by
the clerk of the court and shall be made available for

HB3655 Engrossed - 2373 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
inspection only upon order of the court.
D. Related adoption. Such investigation shall not be made
when the petition seeks to adopt a related child or an adult
unless the court, in its discretion, shall so order. In such an
event the court may appoint a person deemed competent by the
court.

(6) The guardian ad litem, or the court-appointed
investigator appointed pursuant to subsection A of Section
6 of this Act, shall provide a report of investigation to
the Court within 6 months after appointment, or earlier if
so ordered by the court.
(7) The birth parent shall have the right to request
to receive counseling before and after signing a Final and
Irrevocable Consent to Adoption form, a Final and
Irrevocable Consent to Adoption by a Specified Person or
Persons: Non-DCFS Case form, or a Consent to Adoption of
Unborn Child form. The prospective adoptive parent or
parents may agree to pay for the cost of counseling in a
manner consistent with Illinois law, but the prospective
adoptive parent or parents are not required to do so.

(750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
(a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
has been abused by a family or household member or that

shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not
be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
be in accordance with this Act.
(b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
this Section and one of the following Sections, as

prohibited.
(2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act.
(A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
person or entity other than the opposing party that

HB3655 Engrossed - 2378 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
(B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
(B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
residence or household) or from loss of possession of
the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
of hardships, the court shall also take into account
the accessibility of the residence or household.
Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
have a right to occupancy.
The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
that the hardships to respondent substantially
outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
court, on the request of petitioner or on its own

HB3655 Engrossed - 2379 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
household.
(3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
respondent from entering or remaining present at
petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
right to enter the premises.
(A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
respondent from entering the residence, or orders
respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
access to the residence to remove items of clothing
and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
medications, and other items as the court directs. The
right to access shall be exercised on only one
occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
officer.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2380 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
order of protection 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 change of 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

HB3655 Engrossed - 2381 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
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 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 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.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2382 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(C) 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 is responsible
for transportation and other costs associated with the
change of school by the respondent.
(4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
agency providing services to elders, program designed for
domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
approved partner abuse intervention program for an
assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
(5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either

HB3655 Engrossed - 2383 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
in loco parentis.
If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
minor child's best interest.
(6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
significant decision-making. Award temporary
decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
Enforcement Act.
If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
awarding temporary significant decision-making
responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
best interest.
(7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
physical care or allocates temporary significant

HB3655 Engrossed - 2384 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the
order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time
to take place or other specific parameters or conditions
that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
in a violent or abusive manner.
If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet

HB3655 Engrossed - 2385 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
acknowledging accountability to the court.
(8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
concealing the child within the State.
(9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to
permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
child or the respondent.
(10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
exclusive possession of personal property and, if
respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
(i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
property; or
(ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
temporary possession by petitioner.
If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2386 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
property is that it is marital property, the court may
award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
hereafter amended.
No order under this provision shall affect title to
property.
(11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
if:
(i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
property; or
(ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
property is that it is marital property, the court may
grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
now or hereafter amended.
The court may further prohibit respondent from
improperly using the financial or other resources of an
aged member of the family or household for the profit or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2387 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
advantage of respondent or of any other person.
(11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
residence or household of either the petitioner or the
respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
otherwise disposing of the animal.
(12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
income to secure payment. An order for child support may
be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise

HB3655 Engrossed - 2388 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
provided in the order.
(13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
restaurant meals.
(i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
property distribution from the other party under the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
now or hereafter amended, the court may order
respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
the extent that such reimbursement would be
"appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
(ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
and recovery of the minor child, including but not
limited to legal fees, court costs, private
investigator fees, and travel costs.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2389 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
from entering or remaining in the residence or household
while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
(14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
(a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
protection was issued from possessing any firearms
during the duration of the order if the order:
(1) was issued after a hearing of which such
person received actual notice, and at which such
person had an opportunity to participate;
(2) restrains such person from harassing,
stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
such person or child of such intimate partner or
person, or engaging in other conduct that would
place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
bodily injury to the partner or child; and
(3)(i) includes a finding that such person
represents a credible threat to the physical
safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
against such intimate partner or child that would
reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2390 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
possession of the respondent, except as provided in
subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
the card to the Illinois Department of State Police
Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office for
safekeeping. The court shall issue a warrant for
seizure of any firearm in the possession of the
respondent, to be kept by the local law enforcement
agency for safekeeping, except as provided in
subsection (b). The period of safekeeping shall be for
the duration of the order of protection. The firearm
or firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card,
if unexpired, shall at the respondent's request, be
returned to the respondent at the end of the order of
protection. It is the respondent's responsibility to
notify the Illinois Department of State Police Firearm
Owner's Identification Card Office.
(b) If the respondent is a peace officer as
defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
the court shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
enforcement executive of the agency in which the
respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
for safekeeping for the duration of the order of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2391 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
protection.
(c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
firearms for training purposes, or for any other
application as deemed appropriate by the local law
enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
possess firearms, and who does not reside with
respondent.
(15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,
and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
records of the minor child who is in the care of
petitioner.
(16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order

HB3655 Engrossed - 2392 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
deemed reasonable by the court.
(17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect,
or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or
to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by
the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by
the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
(18) Telephone services.
(A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
(B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
indicated by the petitioner and the financial
responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term
"wireless telephone service provider" means a provider
of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2393 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each
telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
shall serve the order on the wireless telephone
service provider's agent for service of process
provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The
order shall contain all of the following:
(i) The name and billing telephone number of
the account holder including the name of the
wireless telephone service provider that serves
the account.
(ii) Each telephone number that will be
transferred.
(iii) A statement that the provider transfers
to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
and right to the use of any telephone number
transferred under this paragraph.
(B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
hours after it receives the order, that one of the
following applies:
(i) The account holder named in the order has
terminated the account.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2394 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(ii) A difference in network technology would
prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
a network if the transfer occurs.
(iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
other limitation on network or service provision
to the petitioner.
(iv) Another technological or operational
issue would prevent or impair the use of the
telephone number if the transfer occurs.
(C) The petitioner assumes all financial
responsibility for and right to the use of any
telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
monthly service costs and costs associated with any
mobile device associated with the number.
(D) A wireless telephone service provider may
apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
requirements for establishing an account or
transferring a number, including requiring the
petitioner to provide proof of identification,
financial information, and customer preferences.
(E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
wireless telephone service provider is immune from
civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
with a court order issued under this paragraph.
(F) All wireless service providers that provide

HB3655 Engrossed - 2395 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
services to residential customers shall provide to the
Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
an agent for service of orders entered under this
paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
Commission within 30 days of such change.
(G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
maintain the list of registered agents for service for
each wireless telephone service provider on the
Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
is provided and displayed.
(c) Relevant factors; findings.
(1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
other than payment of support, the court shall consider
relevant factors, including but not limited to the
following:
(i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
household member, including the concealment of his or
her location in order to evade service of process or
notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;

HB3655 Engrossed - 2396 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
and
(ii) the danger that any minor child will be
abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
improperly separated from the child's primary
caretaker.
(2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
limited to the following:
(i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
adequacy, location and other characteristics of
alternate housing for each party and any minor child
or dependent adult in the party's care;
(ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
(iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
care, to family, school, church and community.
(3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
(4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
set forth the following:
(i) That the court has considered the applicable
relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
of this subsection.
(ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,

HB3655 Engrossed - 2397 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
or continued abuse.
(iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
other alleged abused persons.
(4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
a supplement to making the findings described in
paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
subsection, may use the following procedure:
When a verified petition for an emergency order of
protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
appears from the contents of the petition and the
examination of petitioner that the averments are
sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
order of protection.
(5) Never married parties. No rights or
responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
child relationship has been established under the Illinois
Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital

HB3655 Engrossed - 2398 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
administrative, or other act of another state or
territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
both parties appeared in open court or at an
administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
(d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result in hardship to respondent that would substantially

HB3655 Engrossed - 2399 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
(e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
(1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
(2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
(3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
of 2012;
(4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
of another;
(5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
respondent;
(6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation
by respondent;
(7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
household members.

Sec. 217. Emergency order of protection.
(a) Prerequisites. An emergency order of protection shall
issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this
subsection for one or more of the requested remedies. For each
remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
(1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;
(2) The requirements of Section 214 are satisfied; and
(3) There is good cause to grant the remedy,
regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
the respondent, because:
(i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
described in Section 214(b)(1), "stay away order and
additional prohibitions" described in Section
214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child"
described in Section 214(b)(8), "order to appear"
described in Section 214(b)(9), "physical care and
possession of the minor child" described in Section
214(b)(5), "protection of property" described in
Section 214(b)(11), "prohibition of entry" described
in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition of firearm
possession" described in Section 214(b)(14.5),
"prohibition of access to records" described in

HB3655 Engrossed - 2401 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Section 214(b)(15), and "injunctive relief" described
in Section 214(b)(16), the harm which that remedy is
intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
efforts to obtain judicial relief;
(ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive
possession of residence" described in Section
214(b)(2), the immediate danger of further abuse of
petitioner by respondent, if petitioner chooses or had
chosen to remain in the residence or household while
respondent was given any prior notice or greater
notice than was actually given of petitioner's efforts
to obtain judicial relief, outweighs the hardships to
respondent of an emergency order granting petitioner
exclusive possession of the residence or household.
This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has
or could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while
prior notice is given to respondent, unless the
hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home
substantially outweigh those to petitioner;
(iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal
property" described in Section 214(b)(10), improper
disposition of the personal property would be likely
to occur if respondent were given any prior notice, or
greater notice than was actually given, of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2402 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for
possession of that property.
An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal
custody, payment of support or monetary compensation remedies.
(a-5) When a petition for an emergency order of protection
is granted, the order shall not be publicly available until
the order is served on the respondent.
(b) Appearance by respondent. If respondent appears in
court for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section.
Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all
requirements of Section 218 have been met, the court may issue
a 30-day interim order.
(c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
(1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at
the close of business, the petitioner may file a petition
for a 21-day emergency order before any available circuit
judge or associate judge who may grant relief under this
Act. If the judge finds that there is an immediate and
present danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner
has satisfied the prerequisites set forth in subsection
(a) of Section 217, that judge may issue an emergency
order of protection.
(1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2403 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
circuit court may designate for each county in the circuit
at least one judge to be reasonably available to issue
orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an
emergency order of protection at all times, whether or not
the court is in session.
(2) Certification and transfer. The judge who issued
the order under this Section shall promptly communicate or
convey the order to the sheriff to facilitate the entry of
the order into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System by
the Illinois Department of State Police pursuant to
Section 302. Any order issued under this Section and any
documentation in support thereof shall be certified on the
next court day to the appropriate court. The clerk of that
court shall immediately assign a case number, file the
petition, order and other documents with the court, and
enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for
service, in accordance with Section 222. Filing the
petition shall commence proceedings for further relief
under Section 202. Failure to comply with the requirements
of this subsection shall not affect the validity of the
order.

(750 ILCS 60/220) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-20)
Sec. 220. Duration and extension of orders.
(a) Duration of emergency and interim orders. Unless

HB3655 Engrossed - 2404 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
re-opened or extended or voided by entry of an order of greater
duration:
(1) Emergency orders issued under Section 217 shall be
effective for not less than 14 nor more than 21 days;
(2) Interim orders shall be effective for up to 30
days.
(b) Duration of plenary orders.
(0.05) A plenary order of protection entered under
this Act shall be valid for a fixed period of time, not to
exceed two years.
(1) A plenary order of protection entered in
conjunction with another civil proceeding shall remain in
effect as follows:
(i) if entered as preliminary relief in that other
proceeding, until entry of final judgment in that
other proceeding;
(ii) if incorporated into the final judgment in
that other proceeding, until the order of protection
is vacated or modified; or
(iii) if incorporated in an order for involuntary
commitment, until termination of both the involuntary
commitment and any voluntary commitment, or for a
fixed period of time not exceeding 2 years.
(2) Duration of an order of protection entered in
conjunction with a criminal prosecution or delinquency
petition shall remain in effect as provided in Section

HB3655 Engrossed - 2405 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
(c) Computation of time. The duration of an order of
protection shall not be reduced by the duration of any prior
order of protection.
(d) Law enforcement records. When a plenary order of
protection expires upon the occurrence of a specified event,
rather than upon a specified date as provided in subsection
(b), no expiration date shall be entered in Illinois
Department of State Police records. To remove the plenary
order from those records, either party shall request the clerk
of the court to file a certified copy of an order stating that
the specified event has occurred or that the plenary order has
been vacated or modified with the Sheriff, and the Sheriff
shall direct that law enforcement records shall be promptly
corrected in accordance with the filed order.
(e) Extension of orders. Any emergency, interim or plenary
order may be extended one or more times, as required, provided
that the requirements of Section 217, 218 or 219, as
appropriate, are satisfied. If the motion for extension is
uncontested and petitioner seeks no modification of the order,
the order may be extended on the basis of petitioner's motion
or affidavit stating that there has been no material change in
relevant circumstances since entry of the order and stating
the reason for the requested extension. An extension of a
plenary order of protection may be granted, upon good cause
shown, to remain in effect until the order of protection is

HB3655 Engrossed - 2406 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
vacated or modified. Extensions may be granted only in open
court and not under the provisions of subsection (c) of
Section 217, which applies only when the court is unavailable
at the close of business or on a court holiday.
(f) Termination date. Any order of protection which would
expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the close of
the next court business day.
(g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for the issuance
of an order of protection undermines the purposes of this Act.
This Section shall not be construed as encouraging that
practice.
(Source: P.A. 100-199, eff. 1-1-18.)
(750 ILCS 60/222) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-22)
Sec. 222. Notice of orders.
(a) Entry and issuance. Upon issuance of any order of
protection, the clerk shall immediately (i) enter the order on
the record and file it in accordance with the circuit court
procedures and (ii) provide a file stamped copy of the order to
respondent, if present, and to petitioner.
(b) Filing with sheriff. The clerk of the issuing judge
shall, or the petitioner may, on the same day that an order of
protection is issued, file a certified copy of that order with
the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with
maintaining Illinois Department of State Police records or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2407 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
charged with serving the order upon respondent. If the
respondent, at the time of the issuance of the order, is
committed to the custody of the Illinois Department of
Corrections or Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice or is
on parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release,
the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with
maintaining Illinois Department of State Police records shall
notify the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile
Justice within 48 hours of receipt of a copy of the order of
protection from the clerk of the issuing judge or the
petitioner. Such notice shall include the name of the
respondent, the respondent's IDOC inmate number or IDJJ youth
identification number, the respondent's date of birth, and the
LEADS Record Index Number.
(c) Service by sheriff. Unless respondent was present in
court when the order was issued, the sheriff, other law
enforcement official or special process server shall promptly
serve that order upon respondent and file proof of such
service, in the manner provided for service of process in
civil proceedings. Instead of serving the order upon the
respondent, however, the sheriff, other law enforcement
official, special process server, or other persons defined in
Section 222.10 may serve the respondent with a short form
notification as provided in Section 222.10. If process has not
yet been served upon the respondent, it shall be served with
the order or short form notification if such service is made by

HB3655 Engrossed - 2408 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
the sheriff, other law enforcement official, or special
process server. A single fee may be charged for service of an
order obtained in civil court, or for service of such an order
together with process, unless waived or deferred under Section
210.
(c-5) If the person against whom the order of protection
is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in
accordance with subsection (c) of Section 217 and received by
the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or
arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law
enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the
respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is
released from custody. In no event shall detention of the
respondent or arrestee be extended for hearing on the petition
for order of protection or receipt of the order issued under
Section 217 of this Act.
(d) Extensions, modifications and revocations. Any order
extending, modifying or revoking any order of protection shall
be promptly recorded, issued and served as provided in this
Section.
(e) Notice to schools. Upon the request of the petitioner,
within 24 hours of the issuance of an order of protection, the
clerk of the issuing judge shall send a certified copy of the
order of protection to the day-care facility, pre-school or
pre-kindergarten, or private school or the principal office of
the public school district or any college or university in

HB3655 Engrossed - 2409 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
which any child who is a protected person under the order of
protection or any child of the petitioner is enrolled as
requested by the petitioner at the mailing address provided by
the petitioner. If the child transfers enrollment to another
day-care facility, pre-school, pre-kindergarten, private
school, public school, college, or university, the petitioner
may, within 24 hours of the transfer, send to the clerk written
notice of the transfer, including the name and address of the
institution to which the child is transferring. Within 24
hours of receipt of notice from the petitioner that a child is
transferring to another day-care facility, pre-school,
pre-kindergarten, private school, public school, college, or
university, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the order
to the institution to which the child is transferring.
(f) Disclosure by schools. After receiving a certified
copy of an order of protection that prohibits a respondent's
access to records, neither a day-care facility, pre-school,
pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or
university nor its employees shall allow a respondent access
to a protected child's records or release information in those
records to the respondent. The school shall file the copy of
the order of protection in the records of a child who is a
protected person under the order of protection. When a child
who is a protected person under the order of protection
transfers to another day-care facility, pre-school,
pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or

HB3655 Engrossed - 2410 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
university, the institution from which the child is
transferring may, at the request of the petitioner, provide,
within 24 hours of the transfer, written notice of the order of
protection, along with a certified copy of the order, to the
institution to which the child is transferring.
(g) Notice to health care facilities and health care
practitioners. Upon the request of the petitioner, the clerk
of the circuit court shall send a certified copy of the order
of protection to any specified health care facility or health
care practitioner requested by the petitioner at the mailing
address provided by the petitioner.
(h) Disclosure by health care facilities and health care
practitioners. After receiving a certified copy of an order of
protection that prohibits a respondent's access to records, no
health care facility or health care practitioner shall allow a
respondent access to the records of any child who is a
protected person under the order of protection, or release
information in those records to the respondent, unless the
order has expired or the respondent shows a certified copy of
the court order vacating the corresponding order of protection
that was sent to the health care facility or practitioner.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require health
care facilities or health care practitioners to alter
procedures related to billing and payment. The health care
facility or health care practitioner may file the copy of the
order of protection in the records of a child who is a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2411 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
protected person under the order of protection, or may employ
any other method to identify the records to which a respondent
is prohibited access. No health care facility or health care
practitioner shall be civilly or professionally liable for
reliance on a copy of an order of protection, except for
willful and wanton misconduct.

another state.
(a) A person entitled to protection under an order of
protection issued by the court of another state, tribe, or
United States territory may file a certified copy of the order
of protection with the clerk of the court in a judicial circuit
in which the person believes that enforcement may be
necessary.
(b) The clerk shall:
(1) treat the foreign order of protection in the same
manner as a judgment of the circuit court for any county of
this State in accordance with the provisions of the
Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, except that
the clerk shall not mail notice of the filing of the
foreign order to the respondent named in the order; and
(2) on the same day that a foreign order of protection
is filed, file a certified copy of that order with the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2412 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with
maintaining Illinois Department of State Police records as
set forth in Section 222 of this Act.
(c) Neither residence in this State nor filing of a
foreign order of protection shall be required for enforcement
of the order by this State. Failure to file the foreign order
shall not be an impediment to its treatment in all respects as
an Illinois order of protection.
(d) The clerk shall not charge a fee to file a foreign
order of protection under this Section.
(e) The sheriff shall inform the Illinois Department of
State Police as set forth in Section 302 of this Act.

(a) All sheriffs shall furnish to the Illinois Department
of State Police, on the same day as received, in the form and
detail the Department requires, copies of any recorded
emergency, interim, or plenary orders of protection issued by
the court, and any foreign orders of protection filed by the
clerk of the court, and transmitted to the sheriff by the clerk
of the court pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 222 of this
Act. Each order of protection shall be entered in the Law
Enforcement Agencies Data System on the same day it is issued
by the court. If an emergency order of protection was issued in

HB3655 Engrossed - 2413 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
accordance with subsection (c) of Section 217, the order shall
be entered in the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System as soon
as possible after receipt from the clerk.
(b) The Illinois Department of State Police shall maintain
a complete and systematic record and index of all valid and
recorded orders of protection issued pursuant to this Act. The
data shall be used to inform all dispatchers and law
enforcement officers at the scene of an alleged incident of
abuse, neglect, or exploitation or violation of an order of
protection of any recorded prior incident of abuse, neglect,
or exploitation involving the abused, neglected, or exploited
party and the effective dates and terms of any recorded order
of protection.
(c) The data, records and transmittals required under this
Section shall pertain to any valid emergency, interim or
plenary order of protection, whether issued in a civil or
criminal proceeding or authorized under the laws of another
state, tribe, or United States territory.

Sec. 2-6.6. Person convicted of or found civilly liable
for certain offenses against the elderly or a person with a

HB3655 Engrossed - 2414 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
disability.
(a) A person who is convicted of a violation of Section
12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or subsection (a) or (b) of
Section 12-4.4a, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
Code of 2012 or a person who has been found by a preponderance
of the evidence to be civilly liable for financial
exploitation, as defined in subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of
this Act, may not receive any property, benefit, or other
interest by reason of the death of the victim of that offense,
whether as heir, legatee, beneficiary, joint tenant, tenant by
the entirety, survivor, appointee, or in any other capacity
and whether the property, benefit, or other interest passes
pursuant to any form of title registration, testamentary or
nontestamentary instrument, intestacy, renunciation, or any
other circumstance. Except as provided in subsection (f) of
this Section, the property, benefit, or other interest shall
pass as if the person convicted of a violation of Section
12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or subsection (a) or (b) of
Section 12-4.4a, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
Code of 2012 or the person found by a preponderance of the
evidence to be civilly liable for financial exploitation, as
defined in subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of this Act, died
before the decedent; provided that with respect to joint
tenancy property or property held in tenancy by the entirety,

application of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
person convicted of a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21,

of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or a
person who has been found by a preponderance of the evidence to
be civilly liable for financial exploitation, as defined in
subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of this Act, shall be entitled
to receive property, a benefit, or an interest in any capacity
and under any circumstances described in this Section if it is
demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the victim
of that offense knew of the conviction or finding of civil
liability and subsequent to the conviction or finding of civil
liability expressed or ratified his or her intent to transfer
the property, benefit, or interest to the person convicted of
a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or
subsection (a) or (b) of Section 12-4.4a, of the Criminal Code

preponderance of the evidence to be civilly liable for
financial exploitation, as defined in subsection (a) of
Section 2-6.2 of this Act, in any manner contemplated by this
Section.
(b) The holder of any property subject to the provisions
of this Section is not liable for distributing or releasing
the property to the person convicted of violating Section
12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or subsection (a) or (b) of
Section 12-4.4a, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal

HB3655 Engrossed - 2416 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
Code of 2012 or to the person found by a preponderance of the
evidence to be civilly liable for financial exploitation as
defined in subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of this Act.
(c) If the holder is a financial institution, trust
company, trustee, or similar entity or person, the holder
shall not be liable for any distribution or release of the
property, benefit, or other interest to the person convicted
of a violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or
subsection (a) or (b) of Section 12-4.4a, of the Criminal Code
of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or person found by a
preponderance of the evidence to be civilly liable for
financial exploitation, as defined in subsection (a) of
Section 2-6.2 of this Act, unless the holder knowingly
distributes or releases the property, benefit, or other
interest to the person so convicted or found civilly liable
after first having received actual written notice of the
conviction or finding of civil liability in sufficient time to
act upon the notice.
(d) The Illinois Department of State Police shall have
access to State of Illinois databases containing information
that may help in the identification or location of persons
convicted of or found civilly liable for the offenses
enumerated in this Section. Interagency agreements shall be
implemented, consistent with security and procedures
established by the State agency and consistent with the laws
governing the confidentiality of the information in the

HB3655 Engrossed - 2417 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
databases. Information shall be used only for administration
of this Section.
(e) A civil action against a person for financial
exploitation, as defined in subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of
this Act, may be brought by an interested person, pursuant to
this Section, after the death of the victim or during the
lifetime of the victim if the victim is adjudicated a person
with a disability. A guardian is under no duty to bring a civil
action under this subsection during the ward's lifetime, but
may do so if the guardian believes it is in the best interests
of the ward.
(f) The court may, in its discretion, consider such facts
and circumstances as it deems appropriate to allow the person
convicted or found civilly liable for financial exploitation,
as defined in subsection (a) of Section 2-6.2 of this Act, to
receive a reduction in interest or benefit rather than no
interest or benefit as stated under subsection (a) of this
Section.

under this Act, who knowingly acts to further, directly or
indirectly, or knowingly uses charitable assets to conduct or
further, directly or indirectly, an act or actions as set
forth in Article 29D of the Criminal Code of 2012, is thereby

records of the person or organization shall be subject to
temporary and permanent injunction from use or expenditure and
the appointment of a temporary and permanent receiver to take
possession of all of the assets and related records.
(b) An ex parte action may be commenced by the Attorney
General, and, upon a showing of probable cause of a violation

HB3655 Engrossed - 2419 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
of this Section or Article 29D of the Criminal Code of 2012, an
immediate seizure of books and records by the Attorney General
by and through his or her assistants or investigators or the
Illinois Department of State Police and freezing of all assets
shall be made by order of a court to protect the public,
protect the assets, and allow a full review of the records.
(c) Upon a finding by a court after a hearing that a person
or organization has acted or is in violation of this Section,
the person or organization shall be permanently enjoined from

acting as a trustee or fiduciary within Illinois. Upon a
finding of violation all assets and funds held by the person or
organization shall be forfeited to the People of the State of
Illinois or otherwise ordered by the court to be accounted for
and marshaled and then delivered to charitable causes and uses
within the State of Illinois by court order.
(d) A determination under this Section may be made by any
court separate and apart from any criminal proceedings and the
standard of proof shall be that for civil proceedings.
(e) Any knowing use of charitable assets to conduct or
further, directly or indirectly, an act or actions set forth
in Article 29D of the Criminal Code of 2012 shall be a misuse
of charitable assets and breach of fiduciary duty relative to
all other Sections of this Act.

The administrator shall dispose of tangible property
identified by this Section in accordance with this Section.
(a) Military medals or decorations. The administrator may
not sell a medal or decoration awarded for military service in
the armed forces of the United States. Instead, the
administrator, with the consent of the respective organization
under paragraph (1), agency under paragraph (2), or entity
under paragraph (3), may deliver a medal or decoration to be
held in custody for the owner, to:
(1) a military veterans organization qualified under
Section 501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) the agency that awarded the medal or decoration;
or
(3) a governmental entity.
After delivery, the administrator is not responsible for

may be, at his or her discretion, loaned to an accredited
museum in the United States where it will be kept until such

her custody.
(c) Human remains. If human remains are delivered to the
administrator under this Act, the administrator shall deliver
those human remains to the coroner of the county in which the
human remains were abandoned for disposition under Section
3-3034 of the Counties Code. The only human remains that may be
delivered to the administrator under this Act and that the
administrator may receive are those that are reported and
delivered as contents of a safe deposit box.
(d) Evidence in a criminal investigation. Property that
may have been used in the commission of a crime or that may
assist in the investigation of a crime, as determined after
consulting with the Illinois Department of State Police, shall
be delivered to the Illinois Department of State Police or
other appropriate law enforcement authority to allow law
enforcement to determine whether a criminal investigation
should take place. Any such property delivered to a law
enforcement authority shall be held in accordance with
existing statutes and rules related to the gathering,
retention, and release of evidence.
(e) Firearms.
(1) The administrator, in cooperation with the
Illinois Department of State Police, shall develop a
procedure to determine whether a firearm delivered to the
administrator under this Act has been stolen or used in
the commission of a crime. The Illinois Department of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2422 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

Section 1180. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business
Practices Act is amended by changing Section 2L as follows:
(815 ILCS 505/2L)
Sec. 2L. Used motor vehicles; modification or disclaimer
of implied warranty of merchantability limited.
(a) Any retail sale of a used motor vehicle made after July

HB3655 Engrossed - 2430 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
1, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-768) to a consumer
by a licensed vehicle dealer within the meaning of Chapter 5 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code or by an auction company at an
auction that is open to the general public is made subject to
this Section.
(b) This Section does not apply to any of the following:
(1) a vehicle with more than 150,000 miles at the time
of sale;
(2) a vehicle with a title that has been branded
"rebuilt" or "flood";
(3) a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of
8,000 pounds or more; or
(4) a vehicle that is an antique vehicle, as defined
in the Illinois Vehicle Code, or that is a collector motor
vehicle.
(b-5) This Section does not apply to the sale of any
vehicle for which the dealer offers an express warranty that
provides coverage that is equal to or greater than the limited
implied warranty of merchantability required under this
Section 2L.
(b-6) This Section does not apply to forfeited vehicles
sold at auction by or on behalf of the Illinois Department of
State Police.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2L, any
sale of a used motor vehicle as described in subsection (a) may
not exclude, modify, or disclaim the implied warranty of

HB3655 Engrossed - 2431 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
merchantability created under this Section 2L or limit the
remedies for a breach of the warranty hereunder before
midnight of the 15th calendar day after delivery of a used
motor vehicle or until a used motor vehicle is driven 500 miles
after delivery, whichever is earlier. In calculating time
under this Section, a day on which the warranty is breached and
all subsequent days in which the used motor vehicle fails to
conform with the implied warranty of merchantability are
excluded. In calculating distance under this Section, the
miles driven to obtain or in connection with the repair,
servicing, or testing of a used motor vehicle that fails to
conform with the implied warranty of merchantability are
excluded. An attempt to exclude, modify, or disclaim the
implied warranty of merchantability or to limit the remedies
for a breach of the warranty in violation of this Section
renders a purchase agreement voidable at the option of the
purchaser.
(d) An implied warranty of merchantability is met if a
used motor vehicle functions for the purpose of ordinary
transportation on the public highway and substantially free of
a defect in a power train component. As used in this Section,
"power train component" means the engine block, head, all
internal engine parts, oil pan and gaskets, water pump, intake
manifold, transmission, and all internal transmission parts,
torque converter, drive shaft, universal joints, rear axle and
all rear axle internal parts, and rear wheel bearings.

HB3655 Engrossed - 2432 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(e) The implied warranty of merchantability expires at
midnight of the 15th calendar day after delivery of a used
motor vehicle or when a used motor vehicle is driven 500 miles
after delivery, whichever is earlier. In calculating time, a
day on which the implied warranty of merchantability is
breached is excluded and all subsequent days in which the used
motor vehicle fails to conform with the warranty are also
excluded. In calculating distance, the miles driven to or by
the seller to obtain or in connection with the repair,
servicing, or testing of a used motor vehicle that fails to
conform with the implied warranty of merchantability are
excluded. An implied warranty of merchantability does not
extend to damage that occurs after the sale of the used motor
vehicle that results from:
(1) off-road use;
(2) racing;
(3) towing;
(4) abuse;
(5) misuse;
(6) neglect;
(7) failure to perform regular maintenance; and
(8) failure to maintain adequate oil, coolant, and
other required fluids or lubricants.
(f) If the implied warranty of merchantability described
in this Section is breached, the consumer shall give
reasonable notice to the seller no later than 2 business days

HB3655 Engrossed - 2433 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
after the end of the statutory warranty period. Before the
consumer exercises another remedy pursuant to Article 2 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, the seller shall have a reasonable
opportunity to repair the used motor vehicle. The consumer
shall pay one-half of the cost of the first 2 repairs necessary
to bring the used motor vehicle into compliance with the
warranty. The payments by the consumer are limited to a
maximum payment of $100 for each repair; however, the consumer
shall only be responsible for a maximum payment of $100 if the
consumer brings in the vehicle for a second repair for the same
defect. Reasonable notice as defined in this Section shall
include, but not be limited to:
(1) text, provided the seller has provided the
consumer with a cell phone number;
(2) phone call or message to the seller's business
phone number provided on the seller's bill of sale for the
purchase of the motor vehicle;
(3) in writing to the seller's address provided on the
seller's bill of sale for the purchase of the motor
vehicle;
(4) in person at the seller's address provided on the
seller's bill of sale for the purchase of the motor
vehicle.
(g) The maximum liability of a seller for repairs pursuant
to this Section is limited to the purchase price paid for the
used motor vehicle, to be refunded to the consumer or lender,

HB3655 Engrossed - 2434 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
as applicable, in exchange for return of the vehicle.
(h) An agreement for the sale of a used motor vehicle
subject to this Section is voidable at the option of the
consumer, unless it contains on its face or in a separate
document the following conspicuous statement printed in
boldface 10-point or larger type set off from the body of the
agreement:
"Illinois law requires that this vehicle will be free of a
defect in a power train component for 15 days or 500 miles
after delivery, whichever is earlier, except with regard to
particular defects disclosed on the first page of this
agreement. "Power train component" means the engine block,
head, all internal engine parts, oil pan and gaskets, water
pump, intake manifold, transmission, and all internal
transmission parts, torque converter, drive shaft, universal
joints, rear axle and all rear axle internal parts, and rear
wheel bearings. You (the consumer) will have to pay up to $100
for each of the first 2 repairs if the warranty is violated.".
(i) The inclusion in the agreement of the statement
prescribed in subsection (h) of this Section does not create
an express warranty.
(j) A consumer of a used motor vehicle may waive the
implied warranty of merchantability only for a particular
defect in the vehicle, including, but not limited to, a
rebuilt or flood-branded title and only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:

HB3655 Engrossed - 2435 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
(1) the seller subject to this Section fully and
accurately discloses to the consumer that because of
circumstances unusual to the business, the used motor
vehicle has a particular defect;
(2) the consumer agrees to buy the used motor vehicle
after disclosure of the defect; and
(3) before the sale, the consumer indicates agreement
to the waiver by signing and dating the following
conspicuous statement that is printed on the first page of
the sales agreement or on a separate document in boldface
10-point or larger type and that is written in the
language in which the presentation was made:
"Attention consumer: sign here only if the seller has
told you that this vehicle has the following problem or
problems and you agree to buy the vehicle on those terms:
1. ......................................................
2. ..................................................
3. ...................................................".
(k) It shall be an affirmative defense to any claim under
this Section that:
(1) an alleged nonconformity does not substantially
impair the use and market value of the motor vehicle;
(2) a nonconformity is the result of abuse, neglect,
or unauthorized modifications or alterations of the motor
vehicle;
(3) a claim by a consumer was not filed in good faith;

HB3655 Engrossed - 2436 - LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
or
(4) any other affirmative defense allowed by law.
(l) Other than the 15-day, 500-mile implied warranty of
merchantability identified herein, a seller subject to this
Section is not required to provide any further express or
implied warranties to a purchasing consumer unless:
(1) the seller is required by federal or State law to
provide a further express or implied warranty; or
(2) the seller fails to fully inform and disclose to
the consumer that the vehicle is being sold without any
further express or implied warranties, other than the 15
day, 500 mile implied warranty of merchantability
identified in this Section.
(m) Any person who violates this Section commits an
unlawful practice within the meaning of this Act.
