8 Sec. 40. Task Force recommendations.
9 (a) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and
10organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness
11services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs
12and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving
13concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could
14be accomplished by:
15 (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee
16 assistance programs (EAPs).
17 (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated
18 healthcare plans and include more progressive options
19 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks
20 shouldered by our first responders.
21 (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service
22 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at
23 raising awareness of available assistance options.
24 (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach

SB3124- 22 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 lists of all available resources to training manuals and
2 continuing education requirements.
3 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and
4organizations sponsor or facilitate first responders with
5specialized training in the areas of psychological fitness,
6depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best
7practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
8 (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member
9 of an agency or organization to attend specialized
10 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency,
11 association, or organization recognized in their fields of
12 study.
13 (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers,
14 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified
15 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection
16 training techniques, or to provide regular access to
17 mental health professionals.
18 (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders
19 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring,
20 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and
21 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective
22 agency or organization size, frequency and number of all
23 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
24 trainings expected respectively.
25 (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a
26 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction

SB3124- 23 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities,
2 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically
3 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental
4 wellness.
5 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators
6and leadership personnel solicit training services from
7evidence-based, data driven organizations. Organizations with
8personnel trained on the analytical review and interpretation
9of specific fields related to the nature of first responders'
10exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, chronic state of
11duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for
12expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary
13self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above.
14These objectives could be met by:
15 (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or
16 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific
17 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies
18 and organizations listed above receive grants and
19 allocations to assist communities with the very issues
20 being discussed in this Section.
21 (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first
22 responders and their families through regular messaging
23 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy
24 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals'
25 careers.
26 (3) Funding and implementing PSA campaigns that

SB3124- 24 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental
2 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment
3 and recovery.
4 (4) Promoting and raising awareness of non-for-profit
5 organizations currently available to assist individuals in
6 search of care and treatment. Organizations have intuitive
7 user-friendly sites, most of which have mobile
8 applications, so first responders can access at a moment's
9 notice. However, because of limited funds, these
10 organizations have a challenging time of getting the word
11 out there about their existence.
12 (5) Expanding Family and Medical Leave Act protections
13 for individuals voluntarily seeking preventative
14 treatment.
15 (6) Promoting and ensuring complete patient
16 confidentiality protections.
17 (d) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and
18organizations incorporate the following training components
19into already existing modules and educational curriculums.
20Doing so could be done by:
21 (1) Bolstering academy and school curricula by
22 requiring depressive disorder training catered to PTSD,
23 substance abuse, and early detection techniques training,
24 taking into close consideration respective agency or
25 organization size, and the frequency and number of all
26 current federal and state mandatory examinations and

1 trainings expected respectively.
2 (2) Continuing to allocate or match federal and state
3 funds to maintain Mobil Training Units (MTUs).
4 (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support
5 training into already exiting statewide curriculums and
6 mandatory examinations, annual State Fire Marshal
7 examinations, and physical fitness examinations. The
8 subject matter of the certificate should have an emphasis
9 on mental health and wellness, as well as familiarization
10 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical
11 psychology, clinical behaviorist, and clinical psychiatry.
12 (4) Incorporating and performing statewide mental
13 health check-ins during the same times as already mandated
14 trainings. These checks are not to be compared or used as
15 measures of fitness for duty evaluations or structured
16 psychological examinations.
17 (5) Recommending comprehensive and evidence-based
18 training on the importance of preventative measures on the
19 topics of sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and physical
20 movement.

18 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the
19superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
20principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils

4disobedience or misconduct on a school bus, the board may
5suspend the pupil in excess of 10 school days for safety
6reasons.
7 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the
8parents or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of
9the reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to
10a review. The school board must be given a summary of the
11notice, including the reason for the suspension and the

11are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
12and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
13extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
14only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
15students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is

8superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
9principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
10student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
11a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
12calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i)

16website through which the threat was made is a site that was
17accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or
18was available to third parties who worked or studied within
19the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii)
20the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to
21the safety and security of the threatened individual because
22of his or her duties or employment status or status as a
23student inside the school.
24 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
25authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as

1equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as
2personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
3without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
4search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
5Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
6privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
7left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
8the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
9conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
10lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
11controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
12illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including
13searches conducted through the use of specially trained dogs.
14If a search conducted in accordance with this Section produces
15evidence that the student has violated or is violating either
16the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
17such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
18disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
19turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.

21expulsion from school and all school activities and a
22prohibition from being present on school grounds.
23 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if

25public or private school in this or any other state, the
26student must complete the entire term of the suspension or

SB3124- 62 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
2of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
3under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
4school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
5or staff in the alternative program. A school district that
6adopts a policy under this subsection (g) must include a
7provision allowing for consideration of any mitigating
8factors, including, but not limited to, a student's status as
9a parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual
10violence, as defined in Article 26A.
11 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage
12students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
13difficulties.
14 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
15disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude
16requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen,
17or damaged property.
18 (j) Subsections (a) through (i) of this Section shall
19apply to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools,
20special charter districts, and school districts organized

23under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements
24under paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of Section 2-3.71 of

SB3124- 63 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1suspension program provided by a school district for any
2students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on
3promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive
4interaction with other students and school personnel. A school
5district may employ a school social worker or a licensed
6mental health professional to oversee an in-school suspension
7program in kindergarten through grade 12.

13 disciplinary action. The Department, upon receipt of a
14 report, shall have the authority to make any investigation
15 it considers appropriate into any occurrence in which an
16 employee's weapon was discharged and to take disciplinary
17 action as may be appropriate.

25allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation

SB3124- 280 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
2reported to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
3Identification Card Office.
4 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
5(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
6orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
7offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
8U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
9922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section
10112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
11U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,
12or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
13shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
14the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
15922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay
16evidence submitted by either party provided that it is
17relevant to the determination of the allegation. Facts
18previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of entry of
19a plea of guilty shall be deemed established beyond a
20reasonable doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the
21conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission,
22as applicable, the court shall make a specific written
23determination with respect to the allegation.

18 Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
19remedies.
20 (a) (Blank).
21 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
22subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
23shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
24available to petitioner.
25 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's

SB3124- 282 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
2 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
3 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
4 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
5 prohibited.
6 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
7 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
8 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
9 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
10 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
11 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
12 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
13 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
14 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
15 Marriage Act.
16 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
17 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
18 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
19 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
20 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
21 person or entity other than the opposing party that
22 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
23 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
24 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
25 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
26 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a

SB3124- 283 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
2 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
3 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
4 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
5 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
6 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
7 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
8 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
9 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
10 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
11 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
12 the accessibility of the residence or household.
13 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
14 have a right to occupancy.
15 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
16 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
17 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
18 that the hardships to respondent substantially
19 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
20 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
21 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
22 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
23 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
24 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
25 household.
26 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order

SB3124- 284 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
2 person protected by the domestic violence order of
3 protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
4 remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
5 employment, or other specified places at times when
6 petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
7 balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
8 the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
9 respondent has no right to enter the premises.
10 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
11 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
12 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
13 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
14 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
15 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
16 items of clothing and personal adornment used
17 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
18 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
19 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
20 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
21 party or law enforcement officer.
22 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
23 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
24 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
25 domestic violence order of protection and providing
26 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any

SB3124- 285 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
2 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
3 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
4 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
5 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
6 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
7 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
8 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
9 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
10 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
11 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
12 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
13 change of placement or change of program, as
14 determined by the school district or private or
15 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
16 respondent's movements within the school attended by
17 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
18 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
19 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
20 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
21 bears the burden of production with respect to the
22 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
23 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
24 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
25 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
26 solely on the ground that the respondent does not

SB3124- 286 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 agree with the school district's or private or
2 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
3 change of program or solely on the ground that the
4 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
5 does not take an action required to effectuate a
6 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
7 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
8 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
9 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
10 another attendance center within the respondent's
11 school district or private or non-public school, the
12 school district or private or non-public school shall
13 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
14 center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
15 court order results in a transfer of the minor
16 respondent to another attendance center, a change in
17 the respondent's placement, or a change of the
18 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
19 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
20 transportation and other costs associated with the
21 transfer or change.
22 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
23 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
24 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
25 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
26 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to

SB3124- 287 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
2 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
3 transportation and other costs associated with the
4 change of school by the respondent.
5 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
6 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
7 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
8 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
9 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
10 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
11 domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
12 the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
13 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
14 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
15 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
16 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
17 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
18 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
19 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
20 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
21 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
22 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
23 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
24 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
25 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
26 in loco parentis.

SB3124- 288 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
2 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
3 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
4 respondent would not be in the minor child's best
5 interest.
6 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
7 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
8 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
9 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
10 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
11 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
12 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
13 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
14 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
15 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
16 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
17 would not be in the child's best interest.
18 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
19 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
20 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
21 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
22 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
23 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
24 is likely to do any of the following:
25 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
26 parenting time;

SB3124- 289 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
2 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
3 household members;
4 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
5 child; or
6 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
7 best interests of the minor child.
8 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
9 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
10 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
11 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
12 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
13 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
14 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
15 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
16 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
17 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
18 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
19 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
20 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
21 any member of petitioner's family or household from future
22 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
23 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
24 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
25 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
26 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may

SB3124- 290 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
2 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
3 acknowledging accountability to the court.
4 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
5 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
6 concealing the child within the State.
7 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
8 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
9 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
10 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
11 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
12 child or the respondent.
13 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
14 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
15 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
16 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
17 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
18 property; or
19 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
20 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
21 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
22 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
23 petitioner.
24 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
25 property is that it is marital property, the court may
26 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the

SB3124- 291 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
2 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
3 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
4 hereafter amended.
5 No order under this provision shall affect title to
6 property.
7 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
8 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
9 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
10 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
11 if:
12 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
13 property; or
14 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
15 property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
16 granting this remedy.
17 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
18 property is that it is marital property, the court may
19 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
20 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
21 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
22 now or hereafter amended.
23 The court may further prohibit respondent from
24 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
25 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
26 advantage of respondent or of any other person.

SB3124- 292 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
2 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
3 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
4 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
5 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
6 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
7 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
8 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
9 otherwise disposing of the animal.
10 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
11 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
12 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
13 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
14 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
15 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
16 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
17 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
18 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
19 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
20 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
21 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
22 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
23 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
24 responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
25 significant decision-making responsibility unless
26 otherwise provided in the order.

SB3124- 293 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
2 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
3 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
4 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
5 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
6 reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
7 other travel expenses, including additional reasonable
8 expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
9 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
10 entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
11 property distribution from the other party under the
12 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
13 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
14 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
15 the extent that such reimbursement would be
16 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
17 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
18 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
19 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
20 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
21 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
22 and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
23 limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
24 investigator fees, and travel costs.
25 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
26 from entering or remaining in the residence or household

SB3124- 294 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
2 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
3 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
4 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
5 (A) A person who is subject to an existing
6 domestic violence order of protection issued under
7 this Code may not lawfully possess firearms, stun
8 guns, or tasers weapons or a Firearm Owner's
9 Identification Card under Section 8.2 of the Firearm
10 Owners Identification Card Act.
11 (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
12 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
13 this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court
14 to be turned over to a person who is not prohibited
15 under State or federal law from possessing firearms
16 with a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card for
17 safekeeping. The court shall issue an order that the
18 respondent comply with Section 9.5 of the Firearm
19 Owners Identification Card Act. Illinois
20 (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
21 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
22 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
23 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
24 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
25 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
26 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms

SB3124- 295 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic
2 violence order of protection.
3 (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
4 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
5 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
6 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
7 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
8 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
9 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
10 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
11 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
12 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
13 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
14 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
15 possess firearms, and who does not reside with
16 respondent.
17 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic
18 violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
19 having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
20 address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
21 of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
22 removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
23 deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from
24 inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain,
25 school or any other records of the minor child who is in
26 the care of petitioner.

SB3124- 296 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
2 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
3 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
4 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
5 deemed reasonable by the court.
6 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
7 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
8 of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
9 granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
10 hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction
11 is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
12 in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
13 designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to
14 establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
15 (18) Telephone services.
16 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
17 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
18 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
19 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
20 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
21 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
22 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
23 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In
24 this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
25 service provider" means a provider of commercial
26 mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The

SB3124- 297 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone
2 number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or
3 her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve
4 the order on the wireless telephone service provider's
5 agent for service of process provided to the Illinois
6 Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of
7 the following:
8 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
9 the account holder including the name of the
10 wireless telephone service provider that serves
11 the account.
12 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
13 transferred.
14 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
15 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
16 and right to the use of any telephone number
17 transferred under this paragraph.
18 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
19 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
20 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
21 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
22 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
23 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
24 following applies:
25 (i) The account holder named in the order has
26 terminated the account.

SB3124- 298 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (ii) A difference in network technology would
2 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
3 a network if the transfer occurs.
4 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
5 other limitation on network or service provision
6 to the petitioner.
7 (iv) Another technological or operational
8 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
9 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
10 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
11 responsibility for and right to the use of any
12 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
13 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
14 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
15 mobile device associated with the number.
16 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
17 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
18 requirements for establishing an account or
19 transferring a number, including requiring the
20 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
21 financial information, and customer preferences.
22 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
23 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
24 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
25 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
26 (F) All wireless service providers that provide

SB3124- 299 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 services to residential customers shall provide to the
2 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
3 an agent for service of orders entered under this
4 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
5 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
6 Commission within 30 days of such change.
7 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
8 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
9 each wireless telephone service provider on the
10 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
11 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
12 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
13 is provided and displayed.
14 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
15 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
16 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
17 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
18 following:
19 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
20 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the

4 or improperly separated from the child's primary
5 caretaker.
6 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the

8 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
9 limited to, the following:
10 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
11 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
12 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
13 or dependent adult in the party's care;

23 affirmation the existence of a father and child
24 relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
25 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental

2 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
3 child be entered.
4 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
5that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
6a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
7subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
8balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
9include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
10result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
11outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
12The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
13 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
14based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
15 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
16 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
17 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
18 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;

20 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such

23 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
24 of another;
25 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
26 avoid further abuse by respondent;

4 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
5 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
6 or household members.

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

SB3124- 304 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
2 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
3 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
4 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
5 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
6 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
7 firearms; and
8 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
9 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
10 specifically named by the court.
11 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same
12public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
13school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
14providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
15continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
16petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
17petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
18availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
19school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
20respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
21disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
22respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
23the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
24the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
25school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
26accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the

SB3124- 305 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1school district or private or non-public school, or place
2restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
3attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
4proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
5change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
6not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
7production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
8educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
9the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
10placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
11respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
12agree with the school district's or private or non-public
13school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
14or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
15consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
16effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
17program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
18public, private, or non-public school attended by the
19petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
20attendance center within the respondent's school district or
21private or non-public school, the school district or private
22or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
23the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
24If the court order results in a transfer of the minor
25respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
26respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's

SB3124- 306 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
2respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
3associated with the transfer or change.
4 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
5custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
6refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
7respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
8transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
9guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
10for transportation and other costs associated with the change
11of school by the respondent.
12 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private
13or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
14criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
15non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
16 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
17custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
18for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
19this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
20of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
21directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
22conduct.
23 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
24 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
25respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
26Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall

SB3124- 307 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1confiscate the respondent's firearms and firearm ammunition
2Firearm Owner's Identification Card and immediately return the
3card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's

16under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers
17Act.
18 A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
19subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
20court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
21judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
22offender's ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a
23probation fee, up to $5 of that fee collected per month may be
24used to provide services to crime victims and their families.
25 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
26offender's ability to pay. The probation department may

SB3124- 388 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
2with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
3Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
4offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
5offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
6probation department, or has been transferred either under
7subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate
8compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the
9department supervising the offender, based on the offender's
10ability to pay.
11 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee
12under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616.
13This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the
1493rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
15increase.
16 (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
17of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
18felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
19Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation
20department has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined
21in the Sex Offender Management Board Act), the court or the
22probation department shall assess additional fees to pay for
23all costs of treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and
24treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that
25offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or
26under a payment plan.

2violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
3Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
4violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
5provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and

13shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
14indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
15be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
16required by the court or the probation department.
17 (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to

22 Section 95. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
23by changing Section 80 as follows:
24 (740 ILCS 21/80)

SB3124- 390 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
2 (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
3victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
4provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the
5requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100
6on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a
7stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the
8respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
9not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require
10physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification
11and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in
12accordance with this Act.
13 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
14the following:
15 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
16 or committing stalking;
17 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
18 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
19 court;
20 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
21 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
22 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
23 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
24 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
25 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
26 residence, school, or place of employment only if the

SB3124- 391 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
2 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
3 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
4 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
5 firearms; and
6 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
7 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
8 specifically named by the court.
9 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
10same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or
11high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact
12order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the
13act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
14the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
15petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
16availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
17school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
18respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
19disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
20respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
21the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
22the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
23school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
24accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
25school district or private or non-public school, or place
26restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school

SB3124- 392 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
2proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
3change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
4not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
5production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
6educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
7the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
8placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
9respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
10agree with the school district's or private or non-public
11school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
12or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
13consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
14effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
15program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
16public, private, or non-public school attended by the
17petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
18attendance center within the respondent's school district or
19private or non-public school, the school district or private
20or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
21the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
22In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
23respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
24respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
25program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
26respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs

SB3124- 393 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1associated with the transfer or change.
2 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
3custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
4refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
5respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
6orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
7parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
8responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
9the change of school by the respondent.
10 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or
11private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
12or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
13non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
14 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
15custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
16for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
17this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
18this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
19directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
20conduct.
21 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
22fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
23 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
24 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
25respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
26Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall

SB3124- 394 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1confiscate the respondent's firearms Firearm Owner's
2Identification Card and immediately return the card to the
3Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
4Office.

24 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
25 Marriage Act.
26 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to

SB3124- 406 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
2 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
3 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
4 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
5 person or entity other than the opposing party that
6 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
7 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
8 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
9 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
10 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
11 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
12 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
13 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
14 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
15 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
16 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
17 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
18 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
19 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
20 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
21 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
22 the accessibility of the residence or household.
23 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
24 have a right to occupancy.
25 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
26 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is

SB3124- 407 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
2 that the hardships to respondent substantially
3 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
4 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
5 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
6 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
7 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
8 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
9 household.
10 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
11 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
12 person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
13 respondent from entering or remaining present at
14 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
15 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
16 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
17 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
18 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
19 right to enter the premises.
20 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
21 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
22 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
23 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
24 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
25 access to the residence to remove items of clothing
26 and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,

SB3124- 408 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
2 right to access shall be exercised on only one
3 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
4 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
5 officer.
6 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
7 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
8 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
9 order of protection and providing relief shall
10 consider the severity of the act, any continuing
11 physical danger or emotional distress to the
12 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
13 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law,
14 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to
15 another school, a change of placement or a change of
16 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
17 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
18 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
19 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
20 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
21 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
22 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
23 change of placement or change of program, as
24 determined by the school district or private or
25 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
26 respondent's movements within the school attended by

SB3124- 409 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
2 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
3 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
4 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
5 bears the burden of production with respect to the
6 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
7 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
8 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
9 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
10 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
11 agree with the school district's or private or
12 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
13 change of program or solely on the ground that the
14 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
15 does not take an action required to effectuate a
16 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
17 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
18 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
19 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
20 another attendance center within the respondent's
21 school district or private or non-public school, the
22 school district or private or non-public school shall
23 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
24 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
25 event the court order results in a transfer of the
26 minor respondent to another attendance center, a

SB3124- 410 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
2 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
3 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
4 transportation and other costs associated with the
5 transfer or change.
6 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
7 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
8 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
9 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
10 the event the court orders a transfer of the
11 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
12 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
13 for transportation and other costs associated with the
14 change of school by the respondent.
15 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
16 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
17 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
18 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
19 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
20 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
21 domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
22 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
23 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
24 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
25 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
26 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.

SB3124- 411 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
2 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
3 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
4 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
5 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
6 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
7 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
8 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
9 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
10 in loco parentis.
11 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
12 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
13 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
14 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
15 minor child's best interest.
16 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
17 significant decision-making. Award temporary
18 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
19 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
20 of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
21 this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
22 Enforcement Act.
23 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
24 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
25 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
26 awarding temporary significant decision-making

SB3124- 412 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
2 best interest.
3 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
4 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
5 physical care or allocates temporary significant
6 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
7 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
8 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
9 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
10 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
11 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
12 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
13 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
14 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
15 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
16 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
17 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
18 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the
19 order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time
20 to take place or other specific parameters or conditions
21 that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
22 refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
23 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
24 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
25 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
26 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of

SB3124- 413 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
2 in a violent or abusive manner.
3 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
4 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
5 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
6 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
7 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
8 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
9 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
10 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
11 acknowledging accountability to the court.
12 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
13 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
14 concealing the child within the State.
15 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
16 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
17 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
18 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to
19 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
20 child or the respondent.
21 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
22 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
23 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
24 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
25 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
26 property; or

SB3124- 414 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
2 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
3 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
4 temporary possession by petitioner.
5 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
6 property is that it is marital property, the court may
7 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
8 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
9 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
10 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
11 hereafter amended.
12 No order under this provision shall affect title to
13 property.
14 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
15 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
16 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
17 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
18 if:
19 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
20 property; or
21 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
22 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
23 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
24 property is that it is marital property, the court may
25 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
26 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under

SB3124- 415 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
2 now or hereafter amended.
3 The court may further prohibit respondent from
4 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
5 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
6 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
7 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
8 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
9 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
10 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
11 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
12 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
13 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
14 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
15 otherwise disposing of the animal.
16 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
17 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
18 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
19 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
20 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
21 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
22 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
23 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
24 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
25 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
26 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a

SB3124- 416 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
2 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
3 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
4 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
5 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
6 provided in the order.
7 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
8 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
9 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
10 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
11 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
12 property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
13 court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
14 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
15 restaurant meals.
16 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
17 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
18 property distribution from the other party under the
19 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
20 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
21 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
22 the extent that such reimbursement would be
23 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
24 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
25 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
26 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the

SB3124- 417 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
2 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
3 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
4 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
5 investigator fees, and travel costs.
6 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
7 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
8 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
9 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
10 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
11 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
12 (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
13 protection was issued from possessing any firearms
14 during the duration of the order if the order:
15 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
16 person received actual notice, and at which such
17 person had an opportunity to participate;
18 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
19 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
20 such person or child of such intimate partner or
21 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
22 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
23 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
24 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
25 represents a credible threat to the physical
26 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)

SB3124- 418 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
2 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
3 against such intimate partner or child that would
4 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
5 Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
6 possession of the respondent, except as provided in
7 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
8 turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
9 local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
10 the card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's
11 Identification Card Office for safekeeping. The court
12 shall issue a warrant for seizure of any firearm in the
13 possession of the respondent, to be kept by the local
14 law enforcement agency for safekeeping, except as
15 provided in subsection (b). The period of safekeeping
16 shall be for the duration of the order of protection.
17 The firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's
18 Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at the
19 respondent's request, be returned to the respondent at
20 the end of the order of protection. It is the
21 respondent's responsibility to notify the Illinois
22 State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
23 Office.
24 (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as
25 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
26 the court shall order that any firearms used by the

SB3124- 419 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
2 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
3 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
4 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
5 for safekeeping for the duration of the order of
6 protection.
7 (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
8 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
9 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
10 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
11 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
12 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
13 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
14 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
15 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
16 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
17 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
18 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
19 possess firearms, and who does not reside with
20 respondent.
21 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
22 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
23 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
24 under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
25 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
26 minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,

SB3124- 420 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
2 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
3 records of the minor child who is in the care of
4 petitioner.
5 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
6 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
7 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
8 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
9 deemed reasonable by the court.
10 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
11 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
12 of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect,
13 or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or
14 to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by
15 the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by
16 the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
17 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
18 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
19 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
20 (18) Telephone services.
21 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
22 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
23 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
24 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
25 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
26 indicated by the petitioner and the financial

SB3124- 421 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
2 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
3 For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term
4 "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider
5 of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C.
6 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each
7 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
8 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
9 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone
10 service provider's agent for service of process
11 provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The
12 order shall contain all of the following:
13 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
14 the account holder including the name of the
15 wireless telephone service provider that serves
16 the account.
17 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
18 transferred.
19 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
20 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
21 and right to the use of any telephone number
22 transferred under this paragraph.
23 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
24 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
25 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
26 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this

SB3124- 422 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
2 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
3 following applies:
4 (i) The account holder named in the order has
5 terminated the account.
6 (ii) A difference in network technology would
7 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
8 a network if the transfer occurs.
9 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
10 other limitation on network or service provision
11 to the petitioner.
12 (iv) Another technological or operational
13 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
14 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
15 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
16 responsibility for and right to the use of any
17 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
18 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
19 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
20 mobile device associated with the number.
21 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
22 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
23 requirements for establishing an account or
24 transferring a number, including requiring the
25 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
26 financial information, and customer preferences.

SB3124- 423 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
2 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
3 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
4 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
5 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
6 services to residential customers shall provide to the
7 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
8 an agent for service of orders entered under this
9 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
10 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
11 Commission within 30 days of such change.
12 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
13 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
14 each wireless telephone service provider on the
15 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
16 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
17 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
18 is provided and displayed.
19 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
20 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
21 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
22 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
23 following:
24 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
25 consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
26 or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or

SB3124- 424 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 household member, including the concealment of his or
2 her location in order to evade service of process or
3 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
4 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
5 of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;
6 and
7 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
8 abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
9 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
10 improperly separated from the child's primary
11 caretaker.
12 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
13 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
14 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
15 limited to the following:
16 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
17 adequacy, location and other characteristics of
18 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
19 or dependent adult in the party's care;
20 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
21 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
22 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
23 care, to family, school, church and community.
24 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
25 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
26 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum

SB3124- 425 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 set forth the following:
2 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
3 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
4 of this subsection.
5 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
6 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
7 or continued abuse.
8 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
9 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
10 other alleged abused persons.
11 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
12 order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
13 a supplement to making the findings described in
14 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
15 subsection, may use the following procedure:
16 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
17 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
18 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
19 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
20 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
21 appears from the contents of the petition and the
22 examination of petitioner that the averments are
23 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
24 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
25 order of protection.
26 (5) Never married parties. No rights or

SB3124- 426 -LRB102 22613 RLC 31756 b
1 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
2 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
3 child relationship has been established under the Illinois
4 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,

7 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
8 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,

12 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
13 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
