Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Workplace Violence Prevention Act. Changes the type of remedy available under the Act to a "workplace protection restraining order". Changes the definition of "credible threat of violence" and defines "petitioner", "respondent", and "workplace". Makes changes in Sections concerning the employer's right to a workplace protection restraining order and remedies. Adds Sections concerning: affidavit requirements; employee notification; actions for a workplace protection restraining order; subject matter jurisdiction; jurisdiction over persons; venue; process; hearing notice; hearings; continuances; emergency orders; plenary orders; employee testimony; duration and extension of orders; contents of orders; notice of orders; modification; enforcement; employment discrimination; effect on other laws and employment benefits; exemptions; and confidentiality and privacy. Deletes provisions of Sections concerning irreparable harm; jurisdiction; venue; procedure; enforcement; and law enforcement responsibilities. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
820 ILCS 180/30

Amends the Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act to include within that Act's prohibited discriminatory acts certain actions by employers against an individual because the individual involved is an employee whose employer is subject to certain provisions of the Workplace Violence Prevention Act. Further amends the Workplace Violence Prevention Act to provide that the Act applies to entities with at least 15, rather than 5, employees, to require notice to an employee when the employer is seeking a workplace protection restraining order in relation to certain violations of the Criminal Code of 2012. Removes requirement that a work place protection restraining order may not prohibit or interfere with lawful labor actions.
