Section 35. The School Code is amended by changing Sections
10-22.6, 10-27.1A, and 34-8.05 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/10-22.6) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-22.6)
Sec. 10-22.6. Suspension or expulsion of pupils; school

HB4486 - 26 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
searches.
(a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or
misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct
perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20)
of this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents
have been requested to appear at a meeting of the board, or
with a hearing officer appointed by it, to discuss their
child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered or
certified mail and shall state the time, place and purpose of
the meeting. The board, or a hearing officer appointed by it,
at such meeting shall state the reasons for dismissal and the
date on which the expulsion is to become effective. If a
hearing officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to
the board a written summary of the evidence heard at the
meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it finds
appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written
expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the best
interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also
include a rationale as to the specific duration of the
expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to
an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A or
13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer because
of the expulsion, except in cases in which such transfer is
deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students or staff in

HB4486 - 27 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
the alternative program.
(b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the superintendent
of the district or the principal, assistant principal, or dean
of students of any school to suspend pupils guilty of gross
disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend pupils guilty of
gross disobedience or misconduct on the school bus from riding
the school bus, pursuant to subsections (b-15) and (b-20) of
this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
suspension. The board may by policy authorize the
superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed 10 school days.
If a pupil is suspended due to gross disobedience or misconduct
on a school bus, the board may suspend the pupil in excess of
10 school days for safety reasons.
Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the parents
or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of the
reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to a
review. The school board must be given a summary of the notice,
including the reason for the suspension and the suspension
length. Upon request of the parents or guardian the school
board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall review such
action of the superintendent or principal, assistant
principal, or dean of students. At such review the parents or
guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the suspension
with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing officer is

HB4486 - 28 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
appointed by the board he shall report to the board a written
summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After its hearing
or upon receipt of the written report of its hearing officer,
the board may take such action as it finds appropriate. If a
student is suspended pursuant to this subsection (b), the board
shall, in the written suspension decision, detail the specific
act of gross disobedience or misconduct resulting in the
decision to suspend. The suspension decision shall also include
a rationale as to the specific duration of the suspension. A
pupil who is suspended in excess of 20 school days may be
immediately transferred to an alternative program in the manner
provided in Article 13A or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not
be denied transfer because of the suspension, except in cases
in which such transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the
safety of students or staff in the alternative program.
(b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
and consequences available to school officials, school
exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
recommended that school officials consider forms of
non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
suspensions or expulsions.

HB4486 - 29 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
(b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
by which school administrators are required to suspend or expel
students for particular behaviors.
(b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be
used only if the student's continuing presence in school would
pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other
students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this
subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to
other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the length
of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
(b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a
threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
students, staff, or members of the school community" and
"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the

HB4486 - 30 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student
exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this Section
or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) of this
Section, it shall be documented whether other interventions
were attempted or whether it was determined that there were no
other appropriate and available interventions.
(b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
support services during the period of their suspension. For
purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
such appropriate and available services.
A school district may refer students who are expelled to
appropriate and available support services.
A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the
re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,

HB4486 - 31 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
(b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil
suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
transportation to school.
(c) The Department of Human Services shall be invited to
send a representative to consult with the board at such meeting
whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be the cause
for expulsion or suspension.
(c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to
provide ongoing professional development to teachers,
administrators, school board members, school resource
officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school
exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom
management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, and
developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote
positive and healthy school climates.
(d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of
time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
case-by-case case by case basis. A student who is determined to
have brought one of the following objects to school, any
school-sponsored activity or event, or any activity or event

HB4486 - 32 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be
expelled for a period of not less than one year:
(1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section,
"firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined
by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code,
firearm as defined in Section 2-7.5 1.1 of the Firearm
Owners Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in
Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The expulsion
period under this subdivision (1) may be modified by the
superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may
be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
(2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon
regardless of its composition, a billy club, or any other
object if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily
harm, including "look alikes" of any firearm as defined in
subdivision (1) of this subsection (d). The expulsion
requirement under this subdivision (2) may be modified by
the superintendent, and the superintendent's determination
may be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
Expulsion or suspension shall be construed in a manner
consistent with the Federal Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act. A student who is subject to suspension or
expulsion as provided in this Section may be eligible for a
transfer to an alternative school program in accordance with
Article 13A of the School Code.
(d-5) The board may suspend or by regulation authorize the

HB4486 - 33 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case case by case
basis, if (i) that student has been determined to have made an
explicit threat on an Internet website against a school
employee, a student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the
Internet website through which the threat was made is a site
that was accessible within the school at the time the threat
was made or was available to third parties who worked or
studied within the school grounds at the time the threat was
made, and (iii) the threat could be reasonably interpreted as
threatening to the safety and security of the threatened
individual because of his or her duties or employment status or
status as a student inside the school.
(e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as
lockers, desks, parking lots, and other school property and
equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as
personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
left in these places and areas. School authorities may request

HB4486 - 34 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including
searches conducted through the use of specially trained dogs.
If a search conducted in accordance with this Section produces
evidence that the student has violated or is violating either
the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.
(f) Suspension or expulsion may include suspension or
expulsion from school and all school activities and a
prohibition from being present on school grounds.
(g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if
a student is suspended or expelled for any reason from any
public or private school in this or any other state, the
student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A of
this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
or staff in the alternative program.
(h) School officials shall not advise or encourage students
to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic

HB4486 - 35 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
difficulties.
(i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude
requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen, or
damaged property.
(j) Subsections (a) through (i) of this Section shall apply
to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools, special
charter districts, and school districts organized under
Article 34 of this Code.
(k) The expulsion of children enrolled in programs funded
under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements
under paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of Section 2-3.71 of this
Code.

(a) All school officials, including teachers, guidance
counselors, and support staff, shall immediately notify the
office of the principal in the event that they observe any
person in possession of a firearm on school grounds; provided
that taking such immediate action to notify the office of the
principal would not immediately endanger the health, safety, or
welfare of students who are under the direct supervision of the
school official or the school official. If the health, safety,

HB4486 - 36 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
or welfare of students under the direct supervision of the
school official or of the school official is immediately
endangered, the school official shall notify the office of the
principal as soon as the students under his or her supervision
and he or she are no longer under immediate danger. A report is
not required by this Section when the school official knows
that the person in possession of the firearm is a law
enforcement official engaged in the conduct of his or her
official duties. Any school official acting in good faith who
makes such a report under this Section shall have immunity from
any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise be
incurred as a result of making the report. The identity of the
school official making such report shall not be disclosed
except as expressly and specifically authorized by law.
Knowingly and willfully failing to comply with this Section is
a petty offense. A second or subsequent offense is a Class C
misdemeanor.
(b) Upon receiving a report from any school official
pursuant to this Section, or from any other person, the
principal or his or her designee shall immediately notify a
local law enforcement agency. If the person found to be in
possession of a firearm on school grounds is a student, the
principal or his or her designee shall also immediately notify
that student's parent or guardian. Any principal or his or her
designee acting in good faith who makes such reports under this
Section shall have immunity from any civil or criminal

HB4486 - 37 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a
result of making the reports. Knowingly and willfully failing
to comply with this Section is a petty offense. A second or
subsequent offense is a Class C misdemeanor. If the person
found to be in possession of the firearm on school grounds is a
minor, the law enforcement agency shall detain that minor until
such time as the agency makes a determination pursuant to
clause (a) of subsection (1) of Section 5-401 of the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987, as to whether the agency reasonably believes
that the minor is delinquent. If the law enforcement agency
determines that probable cause exists to believe that the minor
committed a violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of Section
24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 while on school grounds, the
agency shall detain the minor for processing pursuant to
Section 5-407 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
(c) On or after January 1, 1997, upon receipt of any
written, electronic, or verbal report from any school personnel
regarding a verified incident involving a firearm in a school
or on school owned or leased property, including any conveyance
owned, leased, or used by the school for the transport of
students or school personnel, the superintendent or his or her
designee shall report all such firearm-related incidents
occurring in a school or on school property to the local law

of federal law.
(a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of

Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State
may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after arraignment,
for the purpose of notification to the 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

is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
reported to the 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
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.

(725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
Sec. 112A-14. Order of protection; remedies.
(a) (Blank).
(b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
subsection. The remedies listed in this subsection 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,

HB4486 - 198 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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 Section 701 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

HB4486 - 199 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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

HB4486 - 200 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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.
(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

HB4486 - 201 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 202 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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. 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

HB4486 - 203 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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 a minor child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to

HB4486 - 204 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.
(6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
custody 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 the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
Section 112A-3) of a minor child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary legal
custody to respondent would not be in the child's best
interest.
(7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
respondent's visitation 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
visitation; (ii) use the visitation 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 607.1
of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify

HB4486 - 205 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
"reasonable visitation".
Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
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 visitation, and the parties shall
submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be
approved to supervise visitation 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

HB4486 - 206 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 207 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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 custody, when the respondent has a
legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with

HB4486 - 208 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 or
custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
valid order granting legal custody to another, unless
otherwise provided in the custody 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
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

HB4486 - 209 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 order of
protection, issued under this Code may not lawfully
possess firearms, stun guns, or tasers weapons under
Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card
Act.
(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 who is not prohibited under
State or federal law from possessing firearms with a
valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card for
safekeeping. The court shall issue an order that the

HB4486 - 210 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
Identification Card Office for safekeeping. 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 expiration of the 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 order of protection.
(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

HB4486 - 211 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 112A-5, 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
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

HB4486 - 212 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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. 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. 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.

HB4486 - 213 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
(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
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

HB4486 - 214 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 215 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 removed 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

HB4486 - 216 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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,
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) (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 or under the Illinois Parentage Act
of 2015 on and after the effective date of that Act. Absent

HB4486 - 217 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
such an adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
temporary custody of the minor child, visitation 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 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;

HB4486 - 218 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
(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;
(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.

counseling as a result of the offense.
Probation may be revoked or modified pursuant to Section
5-6-4; except where the court determines at the hearing that
the defendant violated a condition of his or her probation

2012 against the defendant. The court shall order that the cost

(d) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional
discharge shall be given a certificate setting forth the
conditions thereof.
(e) Except where the offender has committed a fourth or
subsequent violation of subsection (c) of Section 6-303 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, the court shall not require as a
condition of the sentence of probation or conditional discharge
that the offender be committed to a period of imprisonment in
excess of 6 months. This 6-month 6 month limit shall not
include periods of confinement given pursuant to a sentence of
county impact incarceration under Section 5-8-1.2.
Persons committed to imprisonment as a condition of

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

HB4486 - 273 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
$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
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.

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

HB4486 - 274 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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 This amendatory Act of the 93rd General
Assembly 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 Section 27.5
of the Clerks of Courts 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.

Section 100. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
by changing Section 80 as follows:
(740 ILCS 21/80)
Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
(a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a

HB4486 - 276 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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;

HB4486 - 277 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
(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 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

HB4486 - 278 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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. 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

HB4486 - 279 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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.
(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 firearms Firearm Owner's
Identification Card and immediately return the card to the
Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
Office.

of any admission to or discharge from a facility; and any
information which would indicate whether or not the recipient
has a history of violence or presents a danger of violence to

provision shall have immunity from any liability, civil,
criminal or otherwise, if such information is disclosed relying

(b) The Department of Human Services (acting as successor
to the Department of Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities) and all public or private hospitals and mental
health facilities are required, as hereafter described in this
subsection, to furnish the Department of State Police only such
information as may be required for the sole purpose of
determining whether an individual who may be or may have been a
patient is disqualified because of that status from receiving
or retaining a firearm under paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of

HB4486 - 282 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
Section 24-3.1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 Firearm Owner's

of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, or falls within
the federal prohibitors in 18 U.S.C. 922(g) and (n). All
physicians, clinical psychologists, or qualified examiners at
public or private mental health facilities or parts thereof as
defined in this subsection shall, in the form and manner
required by the Department, provide notice directly to the
Department of Human Services, or to his or her employer who
shall then report to the Department, within 24 hours after
determining that a person poses a clear and present danger to
himself, herself, or others, or within 7 days after a person 14
years or older is determined to be a person with a
developmental disability by a physician, clinical
psychologist, or qualified examiner as described in this
subsection (b) Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification
Card Act. If a person is a patient as described in clause
(2)(A) (1) of the definition of "patient" in (2)(A) Section 1.1
of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, this information
shall be furnished within 7 days after admission to a public or
private hospital or mental health facility or the provision of
services. Any such information disclosed under this subsection
shall remain privileged and confidential, and shall not be
redisclosed, except as required by clause (e)(2) of Section

3.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, nor utilized
for any other purpose. The method of requiring the providing of
such information shall guarantee that no information is
released beyond what is necessary for this purpose. In
addition, the information disclosed shall be provided by the
Department within the time period established by Section 24-3
of the Criminal Code of 2012 regarding the delivery of
firearms. The method used shall be sufficient to provide the
necessary information within the prescribed time period, which
may include periodically providing lists to the Department of
Human Services or any public or private hospital or mental
health facility of Firearm Owner's Identification Card
applicants for firearm purchases on which the Department or
hospital shall indicate the identities of those individuals who
are to its knowledge disqualified from having a firearm Firearm
Owner's Identification Card for reasons described herein. The
Department may provide for a centralized source of information
for the State on this subject under its jurisdiction. The
identity of the person reporting under this subsection shall
not be disclosed to the subject of the report. For the purposes
of this subsection, the physician, clinical psychologist, or
qualified examiner making the determination and his or her
employer shall not be held criminally, civilly, or
professionally liable for making or not making the notification
required under this subsection, except for willful or wanton
misconduct.

HB4486 - 284 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
Any person, institution, or agency, under this Act,
participating in good faith in the reporting or disclosure of
records and communications otherwise in accordance with this

criminal or otherwise, that might result by reason of the
action. For the purpose of any proceeding, civil or criminal,
arising out of a report or disclosure in accordance with this
provision, the good faith of any person, institution, or agency
so reporting or disclosing shall be presumed. The full extent
of the immunity provided in this subsection (b) shall apply to

Section 110. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
amended by changing Section 214 as follows:
(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
petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation 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

HB4486 - 288 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 appropriate:
Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
remedies available to petitioner.
(1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking 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
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

HB4486 - 289 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 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
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

HB4486 - 290 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 291 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 292 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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

HB4486 - 293 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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.
(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

HB4486 - 294 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 295 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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,

HB4486 - 296 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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:

HB4486 - 297 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
(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 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

HB4486 - 298 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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.
(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

HB4486 - 299 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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

HB4486 - 300 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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) 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

HB4486 - 301 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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 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
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

HB4486 - 302 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 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

HB4486 - 303 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
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,

HB4486 - 304 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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. 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

numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72

HB4486 - 305 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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
a network if the transfer occurs.
(iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
other limitation on network or service provision

(E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a

HB4486 - 306 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b

maintain the list of registered agents for service for
each wireless telephone service provider on the
Commission's website. The Commission may consult with

(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

HB4486 - 307 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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; 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

HB4486 - 308 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
this subsection.
(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
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

HB4486 - 309 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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 1985, 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 acknowledgement, 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

HB4486 - 310 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
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, 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,

HB4486 - 311 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
household members.

Section 115. The Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act is
amended by changing Section 15-705 as follows:
(765 ILCS 1026/15-705)
Sec. 15-705. Exceptions to the sale of tangible property.
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
the safekeeping of the medal or decoration.
(b) Property with historical value. Property that the

HB4486 - 312 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
administrator reasonably believes may have historical value
may be, at his or her discretion, loaned to an accredited
museum in the United States where it will be kept until such
time as the administrator orders it to be returned to his or
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 Department of State Police, shall be delivered to the
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
Department of State Police, shall develop a procedure to

HB4486 - 313 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
determine whether a firearm delivered to the administrator
under this Act has been stolen or used in the commission of
a crime. The Department of State Police shall determine the
appropriate disposition of a firearm that has been stolen
or used in the commission of a crime. The administrator
shall attempt to return a firearm that has not been stolen
or used in the commission of a crime to the rightful owner
if the Department of State Police determines that the owner
may lawfully possess the firearm.
(2) If the administrator is unable to return a firearm
to its owner, the administrator shall transfer custody of
the firearm to the Department of State Police. Legal title
to a firearm transferred to the Department of State Police
under this subsection (e) is vested in the Department of
State Police by operation of law if:
(i) the administrator cannot locate the owner of
the firearm;
(ii) the owner of the firearm may not lawfully
possess the firearm;
(iii) the apparent owner does not respond to notice
published under Section 15-503 of this Act; or
(iv) the apparent owner responds to notice
published under Section 15-502 and states that he or
she no longer claims an interest in the firearm.
(3) With respect to a firearm whose title is
transferred to the Department of State Police under this

HB4486 - 314 - LRB100 16205 SLF 31328 b
subsection (e), the Department of State Police may:
(i) retain the firearm for use by the crime
laboratory system, for training purposes, or for any
other application as deemed appropriate by the
Department;
(ii) transfer the firearm to the Illinois State
Museum if the firearm has historical value; or
(iii) destroy the firearm if it is not retained
pursuant to subparagraph (i) or transferred pursuant
to subparagraph (ii).
As used in this subsection, "firearm" has the meaning
provided in Section 2-7.5 of the Criminal Code of 2012 the
Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.

Section 995. No acceleration or delay. Where this Act makes
changes in a statute that is represented in this Act by text
that is not yet or no longer in effect (for example, a Section
represented by multiple versions), the use of that text does
not accelerate or delay the taking effect of (i) the changes
made by this Act or (ii) provisions derived from any other
Public Act.
Section 999. Effective date. This Act takes effect January
1, 2019.
