6    (740 ILCS 21/80)
7    Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.

9victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
10provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the requirements

16the person of the petitioner. Modification and extension of

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 2 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1prior stalking no contact orders shall be in accordance with
2this Act.
3    (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
4the following:
5        (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
6    or committing stalking;
7        (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
8    the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
9    court;
10        (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
11    within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
12    of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
13    daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
14    frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
15    the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own

17    respondent has been provided actual notice of the
18    opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;

24    specifically named by the court.
25    (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
26same public or private elementary, middle, or high school, the

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 3 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1court when issuing a stalking no contact order and providing
2relief shall consider the severity of the act, any continuing
3physical danger or emotional distress to the petitioner, the
4educational rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
5under federal and State laws, the availability of a transfer to
6another school, change of placement or change of program of the
7respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
8disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
9to another school, and any other relevant facts of the case.
10The court may order that the respondent not attend the public
11or private elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
12petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
13placement or program, as determined by the school district, or

17transfer, change of placement or change of program of the
18respondent is not available. The respondent also bears the
19burden of production with respect to the expense, difficulty,
20and educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer
21of the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
22placement or change of program is not unavailable solely on the

25respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise take
26actions required to effectuate a transfer, change of placement

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 4 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

2away from the public school attended by the petitioner and the
3respondent requests a transfer to another attendance center
4within the respondent's school district, the school district
5shall have sole discretion to determine the attendance center
6to which the respondent is transferred. In the event the court
7order results in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
8attendance center, a change in the respondent's placement or
9change of the respondent's program, the parents, guardian or
10legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
11transportation and other costs associated with the transfer or
12change.
13    (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian or legal
14custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
15refrain from certain actions to ensure that the respondent
16complies with the order. In the event the court orders a
17transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents or
18legal guardians of the respondent are responsible for
19transportation and other costs associated with the change of
20school by the respondent.
21    (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or any of
22its employees in civil or criminal contempt unless the school
23district has been allowed to intervene.
24    (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian or legal
25custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
26for a violation of any provision of any order entered under

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 5 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
2this Act if the parents, guardian or legal custodian directed,

10    (740 ILCS 22/213)
11    Sec. 213. Civil no contact order; remedies.
12    (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
13victim of non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual
14sexual penetration, a civil no contact order shall issue;
15provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the requirements
16of Section 214 on emergency orders or Section 215 on plenary
17orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a civil no contact
18order because the petitioner or the respondent is a minor. The
19court, when determining whether or not to issue a civil no
20contact order, may not require physical injury on the person of
21the victim. Modification and extension of prior civil no
22contact orders shall be in accordance with this Act.

09700HB0192ham002- 6 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1        (1) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
2    within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified
3    distance from the petitioner;
4        (2) restrain the respondent from having any contact,
5    including nonphysical contact, with the petitioner
6    directly, indirectly, or through third parties, regardless
7    of whether those third parties know of the order;
8        (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming

17        (5) order any other injunctive relief as necessary or
18    appropriate for the protection of the petitioner.
19    (b-6) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
20same public or private elementary, middle, or high school, the
21court when issuing a civil no contact order and providing
22relief shall consider, among the other facts of the case, the
23severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
24emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational rights
25guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent under federal and
26State laws, the availability of a transfer to another school,

1change of placement or change of program of the respondent, the
2expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would be
3caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school, and
4any other relevant facts of the case and the expense,
5difficulty, and educational disruption that would be caused by
6a transfer of the respondent to another school. The court may
7order that the respondent not attend the public or private
8elementary, middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
9order that the respondent accept a change of placement or
10program, as determined by the school district, or place
11restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
12attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
13proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
14change of placement or change of program of the respondent is
15not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
16production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
17educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
18the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
19placement or change of program is not unavailable solely on the
20ground that the respondent does not agree with the school
21district's transfer or change of placement or program or the
22respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise take
23actions required to effectuate a transfer, change of placement
24or change of program. When a court orders a respondent to stay
25away from the public school attended by the petitioner and the
26respondent requests a transfer to another attendance center

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 8 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1within the respondent's school district, the school district
2shall have sole discretion to determine the attendance center
3to which the respondent is transferred. In the event the court
4order results in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
5attendance center, a change in the respondent's placement or
6change of the respondent's program, the parents, guardian or
7legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
8transportation and other costs associated with the transfer or
9change.
10    (b-7) The court may order the parents, guardian or legal
11custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
12refrain from certain actions to ensure that the respondent
13complies with the order. In the event the court orders a
14transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents or
15legal guardians of the respondent are responsible for
16transportation and other costs associated with the change of
17school by the respondent.
18    (c) Denial of a remedy may not be based, in whole or in
19part, on evidence that:
20        (1) the respondent has cause for any use of force,
21    unless that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable
22    use of force provided by Article VII of the Criminal Code
23    of 1961;
24        (2) the respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
25        (3) the petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
26    another, provided that, if the petitioner utilized force,

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 9 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    such force was justifiable under Article VII of the
2    Criminal Code of 1961;
3        (4) the petitioner did not act in self-defense or
4    defense of another;
5        (5) the petitioner left the residence or household to
6    avoid further non-consensual sexual conduct or
7    non-consensual sexual penetration by the respondent; or

13    (740 ILCS 22/220)
14    Sec. 220. Enforcement of a civil no contact order.
15    (a) Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois court
16from enforcing a valid protective order issued in another
17state.
18    (b) Illinois courts may enforce civil no contact orders
19through both criminal proceedings and civil contempt
20proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
21barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
22prohibition against double jeopardy.

1    (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian or legal
2custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
3for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
4this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
5this Act if the parents, guardian or legal custodian directed,
6encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.
7    (c) Criminal prosecution. A violation of any civil no
8contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal
9proceeding, shall be enforced by a criminal court when the
10respondent commits the crime of violation of a civil no contact
11order pursuant to Section 219 by having knowingly violated:
12        (1) remedies described in Section 213 and included in a
13    civil no contact order; or
14        (2) a provision of an order, which is substantially
15    similar to provisions of Section 213, in a valid civil no
16    contact order which is authorized under the laws of another
17    state, tribe, or United States territory.
18    Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact order
19shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
20including any crime that may have been committed at the time of
21the violation of the civil no contact order.
22    (d) Contempt of court. A violation of any valid Illinois
23civil no contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal
24proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal contempt
25procedures, as appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction,
26regardless of where the act or acts which violated the civil no

1contact order were committed, to the extent consistent with the
2venue provisions of this Act.
3        (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
4    rule to show cause or petition for adjudication of criminal
5    contempt sets forth facts evidencing an immediate danger
6    that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction or inflict
7    physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children or on
8    dependent adults in the petitioner's care, the court may
9    order the attachment of the respondent without prior
10    service of the petition for a rule to show cause, the rule
11    to show cause, the petition for adjudication of criminal
12    contempt or the adjudication of criminal contempt. Bond
13    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
14        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause or a petition
15    for adjudication of criminal contempt for violation of a
16    civil no contact order shall be treated as an expedited
17    proceeding.
18    (e) Actual knowledge. A civil no contact order may be
19enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates
20the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
21contents as shown through one of the following means:
22        (1) by service, delivery, or notice under Section 208;
23        (2) by notice under Section 218;

26        (4) by other means demonstrating actual knowledge of

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 12 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    the contents of the order.
2    (f) The enforcement of a civil no contact order in civil or
3criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
4following:
5        (1) the existence of a separate, correlative order,
6    entered under Section 202; or
7        (2) any finding or order entered in a conjoined
8    criminal proceeding.
9    (g) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
10not a violation of a civil no contact order has occurred, shall
11not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of
12the victim.
13    (h) Penalties.
14        (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
15    subsection, where the court finds the commission of a crime
16    or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of this
17    Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that generally
18    applies in such criminal or contempt proceedings, and may
19    include one or more of the following: incarceration,
20    payment of restitution, a fine, payment of attorneys' fees
21    and costs, or community service.

09700HB0192ham002- 13 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    encouraged to:
2            (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
3        of any civil no contact order over any penalty

5        violation of any civil no contact order or penal
6        statute involving petitioner as victim and respondent
7        as defendant;
8            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
9        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
10        civil no contact order; and
11            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
12        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
13        violation of a civil no contact order unless the court
14        explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that
15        period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust.
16        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
17    violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court may
18    consider evidence of any previous violations of a civil no
19    contact order:

4    Section 15. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
5amended by changing Sections 214 and 223 as follows:
 
6    (750 ILCS 60/214)  (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
7    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
8    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
9has been abused by a family or household member or that
10petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
11or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
12prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
13provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
14one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on
15emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
16on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
17protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
18court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
19protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
20on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
21prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
22Act.
23    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
24an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 15 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
2Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
3and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
4subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
5remedies available to petitioner.
6        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
7    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
8    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
9    abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
10    defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
11    defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961, if
12    such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
13    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
14    prohibited.
15        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
16    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
17    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
18    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
19    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
20    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
21    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
22    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
23    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
24            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
25        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
26        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 16 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 17 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 18 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 19 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 20 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1        that the respondent complies with the order. The court
2        may order the parents, guardian or legal custodian of a
3        minor respondent to take certain actions or to refrain
4        from certain actions to ensure that the respondent
5        complies with the order. In the event the court orders
6        a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
7        parents or legal guardians of the respondent are
8        responsible for transportation and other costs
9        associated with the change of school by the respondent.
10        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
11    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
12    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
13    family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
14    mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
15    services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
16    abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
17    appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any
18    intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
19    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
20    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
21    all recommended treatment.
22        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
23    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
24    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
25    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
26    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 21 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
2    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
3    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
4    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
5    in loco parentis.
6        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
7    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
8    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
9    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
10    minor child's best interest.
11        (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
12    custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
13    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the
14    Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform
15    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
16        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
17    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
18    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
19    awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be
20    in the child's best interest.
21        (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
22    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
23    physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
24    to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
25    respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court
26    finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 22 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
2    visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
3    abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
4    household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the
5    minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
6    in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
7    not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
8    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
9    If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
10    dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
11    specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
12    order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
13    "reasonable visitation".
14        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
15    child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
16    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
17    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
18    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
19    a violent or abusive manner.
20        If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
21    family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
22    prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
23    the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall
24    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
25    alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be
26    approved to supervise visitation only after filing an

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 23 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 24 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
2    hereafter amended.
3        No order under this provision shall affect title to
4    property.
5        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
6    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
7    damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
8    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
9            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
10        property; or
11            (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
12        balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
13        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
14    is that it is marital property, the court may grant
15    petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
16    paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
17    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
18    now or hereafter amended.
19        The court may further prohibit respondent from
20    improperly using the financial or other resources of an
21    aged member of the family or household for the profit or
22    advantage of respondent or of any other person.
23        (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
24    exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
25    possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
26    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 25 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
2    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
3    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
4    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
5    otherwise disposing of the animal.
6        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
7    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
8    the petitioner's care or custody, when the respondent has a
9    legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with
10    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
11    which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
12    support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
13    income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
14    granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or
15    custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
16    care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
17    custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
18    valid order granting legal custody to another, unless
19    otherwise provided in the custody order.
20        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
21    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
22    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
23    include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
24    earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
25    property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
26    court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 26 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
2    restaurant meals.
3            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
4        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
5        property distribution from the other party under the
6        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
7        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
8        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
9        the extent that such reimbursement would be
10        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
11        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
12            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
13        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
14        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
15        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
16        and recovery of the minor child, including but not
17        limited to legal fees, court costs, private
18        investigator fees, and travel costs.
19        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
20    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
21    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
22    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
23    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
24        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
25            (a) When a complaint is made under a request for an
26        order of protection, that the respondent has

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 27 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1        threatened or is likely to use firearms illegally
2        against the petitioner, the court shall examine on oath
3        the petitioner, and any witnesses who may be produced.
4        If the court is satisfied that there is any danger of
5        the illegal use of firearms, and the respondent is
6        present in court, it shall issue an order that any
7        firearms and any Firearm Owner's Identification Card
8        in the possession of the respondent, except as provided
9        in subsection (b), be turned over to the local law
10        enforcement agency for safekeeping. If the court is
11        satisfied that there is any danger of the illegal use
12        of firearms, and if the respondent is not present in
13        court, the court shall issue a warrant for seizure of
14        any firearm and Firearm Owner's Identification Card in
15        the possession of the respondent, to be kept by the
16        local law enforcement agency for safekeeping, except
17        as provided in subsection (b). The period of
18        safekeeping shall be for a stated period of time not to
19        exceed 2 years. The firearm or firearms and Firearm
20        Owner's Identification Card shall be returned to the
21        respondent at the end of the stated period or at
22        expiration of the order of protection, whichever is
23        sooner.
24            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
25        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 1961, the court
26        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 28 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
2        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
3        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
4        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
5        stated period not to exceed 2 years as set forth in the
6        court order.
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 over
18        to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
19        firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
20        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
21    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
22    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
23    under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
24    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
25    child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
26    prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 29 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
2    records of the minor child who is in the care of
3    petitioner.
4        (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
5    respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
6    housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
7    cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
8    deemed reasonable by the court.
9        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
10    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
11    a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
12    exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to
13    effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
14    balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
15    injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
16    remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
17    subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
18    necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 30 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 31 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

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

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 32 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    attach to a putative father until a father and child
2    relationship has been established under the Illinois
3    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Public Aid Code,
4    Section 12 of the Vital Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act
5    of 1987, the Probate Act of 1985, the Revised Uniform
6    Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, the Uniform
7    Interstate Family Support Act, the Expedited Child Support
8    Act of 1990, any judicial, administrative, or other act of
9    another state or territory, any other Illinois statute, or
10    by any foreign nation establishing the father and child
11    relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
12    conformity with the Personal Responsibility and Work
13    Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193),
14    or where both parties appeared in open court or at an
15    administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
16    admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
17    child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
18    or acknowledgement, no putative father shall be granted
19    temporary custody of the minor child, visitation with the
20    minor child, or physical care and possession of the minor
21    child, nor shall an order of payment for support of the
22    minor child be entered.
23    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
24the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
25remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
26subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 33 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
2include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
3in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
4hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
5shall be an official record or in writing.
6    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
7based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
8        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
9    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
10    force provided by Article VII of the Criminal Code of 1961;
11        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
12        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
13    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
14    force was justifiable under Article VII of the Criminal
15    Code of 1961;
16        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
17    of another;
18        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
19    further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
20        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
21    to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
22    respondent;
23        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
24    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
25    that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
26    or exploitation if the parties had not been family or

5    Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection.
6    (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
7protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding,
8shall be enforced by a criminal court when:
9        (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of an
10    order of protection pursuant to Section 12-30 of the
11    Criminal Code of 1961, by having knowingly violated:
12            (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
13        (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
14        of this Act; or
15            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
16        the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
17        (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
18        of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
19        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
20        United States territory; or
21            (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
22        crime against the protected parties as defined by the
23        Criminal Code of 1961.
24        Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
25    shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,

 

 

09700HB0192ham002- 35 -LRB097 03001 AJO 53047 a

1    including any crime that may have been committed at the
2    time of the violation of the order of protection; or
3        (2) The respondent commits the crime of child abduction
4    pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of 1961, by

11        valid order of protection which is authorized under the
12        laws of another state, tribe, or United States
13        territory.
14    (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of any
15valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a civil
16or criminal proceeding, may be enforced through civil or
17criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate, by any court with
18jurisdiction, regardless where the act or acts which violated
19the order of protection were committed, to the extent
20consistent with the venue provisions of this Act. Nothing in
21this Act shall preclude any Illinois court from enforcing any
22valid order of protection issued in another state. Illinois
23courts may enforce orders of protection through both criminal
24prosecution and contempt proceedings, unless the action which
25is second in time is barred by collateral estoppel or the
26constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.
