HB4144enr 103RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY | | | HB4144 Enrolled | | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning safety. | 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly: | 4 | | Section 1. References to Act. This Act may be referred to | 5 | | as Karina's Law. | 6 | | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | 7 | | amended by changing Section 112A-14 as follows: | 8 | | (725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14) | 9 | | Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection; | 10 | | remedies. | 11 | | (a) (Blank). | 12 | | (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this | 13 | | subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b) | 14 | | shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies | 15 | | available to petitioner. | 16 | | (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's | 17 | | harassment, interference with personal liberty, | 18 | | intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful | 19 | | deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has | 20 | | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not | 21 | | prohibited. | 22 | | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any | 2 | | residence, household, or premises of the petitioner, | 3 | | including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner | 4 | | has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive | 5 | | possession of the residence, household, or premises shall | 6 | | not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be | 7 | | limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of | 8 | | Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | 9 | | Marriage Act. | 10 | | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | 11 | | occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely | 12 | | or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's | 13 | | spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that | 14 | | party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any | 15 | | person or entity other than the opposing party that | 16 | | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic | 17 | | violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph | 18 | | (B) shall not preclude equitable relief. | 19 | | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | 20 | | respondent each has the right to occupancy of a | 21 | | residence or household, the court shall balance (i) | 22 | | the hardships to respondent and any minor child or | 23 | | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | 24 | | entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to | 25 | | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in | 26 | | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the | 2 | | residence or household) or from loss of possession of | 3 | | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | 4 | | avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance | 5 | | of hardships, the court shall also take into account | 6 | | the accessibility of the residence or household. | 7 | | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | 8 | | have a right to occupancy. | 9 | | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | 10 | | possession by petitioner unless the presumption is | 11 | | rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing | 12 | | that the hardships to respondent substantially | 13 | | outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor | 14 | | child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The | 15 | | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own | 16 | | motion, may order respondent to provide suitable, | 17 | | accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead | 18 | | of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or | 19 | | household. | 20 | | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order | 21 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other | 22 | | person protected by the domestic violence order of | 23 | | protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or | 24 | | remaining present at petitioner's school, place of | 25 | | employment, or other specified places at times when | 26 | | petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for | 2 | | the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if | 3 | | respondent has no right to enter the premises. | 4 | | (A) If a domestic violence order of protection | 5 | | grants petitioner exclusive possession of the | 6 | | residence, prohibits respondent from entering the | 7 | | residence, or orders respondent to stay away from | 8 | | petitioner or other protected persons, then the court | 9 | | may allow respondent access to the residence to remove | 10 | | items of clothing and personal adornment used | 11 | | exclusively by respondent, medications, and other | 12 | | items as the court directs. The right to access shall | 13 | | be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs | 14 | | and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third | 15 | | party or law enforcement officer. | 16 | | (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend | 17 | | the same public, private, or non-public elementary, | 18 | | middle, or high school, the court when issuing a | 19 | | domestic violence order of protection and providing | 20 | | relief shall consider the severity of the act, any | 21 | | continuing physical danger or emotional distress to | 22 | | the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to | 23 | | the petitioner and respondent under federal and State | 24 | | law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent | 25 | | to another school, a change of placement or a change of | 26 | | program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | and educational disruption that would be caused by a | 2 | | transfer of the respondent to another school, and any | 3 | | other relevant facts of the case. The court may order | 4 | | that the respondent not attend the public, private, or | 5 | | non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended | 6 | | by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a | 7 | | change of placement or change of program, as | 8 | | determined by the school district or private or | 9 | | non-public school, or place restrictions on the | 10 | | respondent's movements within the school attended by | 11 | | the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of | 12 | | proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a | 13 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program of | 14 | | the respondent is not available. The respondent also | 15 | | bears the burden of production with respect to the | 16 | | expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that | 17 | | would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to | 18 | | another school. A transfer, change of placement, or | 19 | | change of program is not unavailable to the respondent | 20 | | solely on the ground that the respondent does not | 21 | | agree with the school district's or private or | 22 | | non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or | 23 | | change of program or solely on the ground that the | 24 | | respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise | 25 | | does not take an action required to effectuate a | 26 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program. |

|
| 1 | | When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the | 2 | | public, private, or non-public school attended by the | 3 | | petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to | 4 | | another attendance center within the respondent's | 5 | | school district or private or non-public school, the | 6 | | school district or private or non-public school shall | 7 | | have sole discretion to determine the attendance | 8 | | center to which the respondent is transferred. If the | 9 | | court order results in a transfer of the minor | 10 | | respondent to another attendance center, a change in | 11 | | the respondent's placement, or a change of the | 12 | | respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal | 13 | | custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 14 | | transportation and other costs associated with the | 15 | | transfer or change. | 16 | | (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or | 17 | | legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain | 18 | | actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to | 19 | | ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If | 20 | | the court orders a transfer of the respondent to | 21 | | another school, the parents, guardian, or legal | 22 | | custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 23 | | transportation and other costs associated with the | 24 | | change of school by the respondent. | 25 | | (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to | 26 | | undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 7 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, | 2 | | psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance | 3 | | abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor, | 4 | | agency providing services to elders, program designed for | 5 | | domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service | 6 | | the court deems appropriate. The court may order the | 7 | | respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report | 8 | | to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol | 9 | | approved partner abuse intervention program for an | 10 | | assessment and to follow all recommended treatment. | 11 | | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. | 12 | | In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, | 13 | | or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the | 14 | | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | 15 | | the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either | 16 | | or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical | 17 | | care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii) | 18 | | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | 19 | | a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person | 20 | | in loco parentis. | 21 | | If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in | 22 | | Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall | 23 | | be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to | 24 | | respondent would not be in the minor child's best | 25 | | interest. | 26 | | (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 8 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award | 2 | | temporary significant decision-making responsibility to | 3 | | petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois | 4 | | Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois | 5 | | Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform | 6 | | Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. | 7 | | If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in | 8 | | Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall | 9 | | be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary | 10 | | significant decision-making responsibility to respondent | 11 | | would not be in the child's best interest. | 12 | | (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if | 13 | | any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards | 14 | | physical care or temporary significant decision-making | 15 | | responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court | 16 | | shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a | 17 | | minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or | 18 | | is likely to do any of the following: | 19 | | (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | 20 | | parenting time; | 21 | | (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to | 22 | | abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or | 23 | | household members; | 24 | | (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor | 25 | | child; or | 26 | | (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 9 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | best interests of the minor child. | 2 | | The court shall not be limited by the standards set | 3 | | forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and | 4 | | Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting | 5 | | time, the order shall specify dates and times for the | 6 | | parenting time to take place or other specific parameters | 7 | | or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting | 8 | | time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting | 9 | | time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor | 10 | | child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time, | 11 | | respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and | 12 | | constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of | 13 | | petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving | 14 | | in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect | 15 | | any member of petitioner's family or household from future | 16 | | abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to | 17 | | petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for | 18 | | parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall | 19 | | submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable | 20 | | alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may | 21 | | be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing | 22 | | an affidavit accepting that responsibility and | 23 | | acknowledging accountability to the court. | 24 | | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit | 25 | | respondent from removing a minor child from the State or | 26 | | concealing the child within the State. |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 10 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in | 2 | | court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | 3 | | neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return | 4 | | the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to | 5 | | permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the | 6 | | child or the respondent. | 7 | | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner | 8 | | exclusive possession of personal property and, if | 9 | | respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to | 10 | | promptly make it available to petitioner, if: | 11 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 12 | | property; or | 13 | | (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the | 14 | | property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of | 15 | | petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the | 16 | | balance of hardships favors temporary possession by | 17 | | petitioner. | 18 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the | 19 | | property is that it is marital property, the court may | 20 | | award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the | 21 | | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a | 22 | | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | 23 | | Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | 24 | | hereafter amended. | 25 | | No order under this provision shall affect title to | 26 | | property. |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 11 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | 2 | | from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing, | 3 | | damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal | 4 | | property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, | 5 | | if: | 6 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 7 | | property; or | 8 | | (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the | 9 | | property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors | 10 | | granting this remedy. | 11 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the | 12 | | property is that it is marital property, the court may | 13 | | grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this | 14 | | paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under | 15 | | the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 16 | | now or hereafter amended. | 17 | | The court may further prohibit respondent from | 18 | | improperly using the financial or other resources of an | 19 | | aged member of the family or household for the profit or | 20 | | advantage of respondent or of any other person. | 21 | | (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the | 22 | | exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, | 23 | | possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner | 24 | | or the respondent or a minor child residing in the | 25 | | residence or household of either the petitioner or the | 26 | | respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 12 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | animal and forbid the respondent from taking, | 2 | | transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or | 3 | | otherwise disposing of the animal. | 4 | | (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to | 5 | | pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in | 6 | | the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been | 7 | | allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has | 8 | | a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance | 9 | | with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage | 10 | | Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount | 11 | | of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of | 12 | | income to secure payment. An order for child support may | 13 | | be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a | 14 | | child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a | 15 | | child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant | 16 | | decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall | 17 | | expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental | 18 | | responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's | 19 | | significant decision-making responsibility unless | 20 | | otherwise provided in the order. | 21 | | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to | 22 | | pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of | 23 | | the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited | 24 | | to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support, | 25 | | repair or replacement of property damaged or taken, | 26 | | reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 13 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | other travel expenses, including additional reasonable | 2 | | expenses for temporary shelter and 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 | 23 | | well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children. | 24 | | (14.5) Prohibition of possession of firearms and | 25 | | firearm parts; search and seizure of firearms and firearm | 26 | | parts firearm possession . |

The law enforcement | 5 | | agency shall immediately mail the card, as well as any | 6 | | license, to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's | 7 | | Identification Card Office for safekeeping . The court | 8 | | shall issue an order that the respondent comply with | 9 | | Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card | 10 | | Act. | 11 | | (B-1) Upon request of the petitioner or the | 12 | | State's Attorney on behalf of the petitioner, a law | 13 | | enforcement officer may seek a search warrant based on | 14 | | the allegations in the petition for the Order of | 15 | | Protection. | 16 | | (i) If requested by law enforcement, the court | 17 | | shall issue a search warrant for the seizure of | 18 | | any firearms or firearm parts that could be | 19 | | assembled to make an operable firearm belonging to | 20 | | the respondent at or after entry of an order of | 21 | | protection if the court, based upon sworn | 22 | | testimony and governed by Sections 108-3 and | 23 | | 108-4, finds probable cause exists that: | 24 | | (aa) the respondent poses an immediate and | 25 | | present credible threat to the physical safety | 26 | | of the petitioner protected by the order of |

If the court is not in session, the | 5 | | return information shall be returned on the next | 6 | | date the court is in session. Subject to the | 7 | | provisions of this Section, peace officers shall | 8 | | have the same authority to execute a warrant | 9 | | issued under this subsection as a warrant issued | 10 | | under Article 108. | 11 | | (iv) If the property to be searched is in | 12 | | another county, the petitioner or the State's | 13 | | Attorney may seek a search warrant in that county | 14 | | with the law enforcement agency with primary | 15 | | responsibility for responding to service calls at | 16 | | the property to be searched.

The law enforcement agency may enter | 6 | | arrangements, as needed, with federally licensed | 7 | | firearm dealers or other law enforcement agencies for | 8 | | the storage of any firearms seized or surrendered | 9 | | under this subsection. | 10 | | (ii) It is the respondent's responsibility to | 11 | | request the return or reinstatement of any Firearm | 12 | | Owner's Identification Card or Concealed Carry License | 13 | | and to notify the Illinois State Police Firearm | 14 | | Owner's Identification Card Office at the end of the | 15 | | Order of Protection. | 16 | | (iii) At the end of the order of protection, a | 17 | | respondent may request the return of any seized or | 18 | | surrendered firearms or firearm parts that could be | 19 | | assembled to make an operable firearm. Seized or | 20 | | surrendered firearms or firearm parts shall be | 21 | | returned within 14 days of the request to the | 22 | | respondent, if the respondent is lawfully eligible to | 23 | | possess firearms, or to a designated third party who | 24 | | is lawfully eligible to possess firearms.

|
| 1 | | lawful owner of the firearm and firearm parts that | 2 | | could be assembled to make an operable firearm, the | 3 | | firearm and firearm parts that could be assembled to | 4 | | make an operable firearm shall be returned to the | 5 | | person, provided that: | 6 | | (aa) the firearm and firearm parts that could | 7 | | be assembled to make an operable firearm are | 8 | | removed from the respondent's custody, control, or | 9 | | possession, and the lawful owner agrees to store | 10 | | the firearm and firearm parts that could be | 11 | | assembled to make an operable firearm in a manner | 12 | | such that the respondent does not have access to | 13 | | or control of the firearm and firearm parts that | 14 | | could be assembled to make an operable firearm; | 15 | | and | 16 | | (bb) the firearm and firearm parts that could | 17 | | be assembled to make an operable firearm are not | 18 | | otherwise unlawfully possessed by the owner. | 19 | | (ii) The person petitioning for the return of his | 20 | | or her firearm and firearm parts that could be | 21 | | assembled to make an operable firearm must swear or | 22 | | affirm by affidavit that he or she: | 23 | | (aa) is the lawful owner of the firearm and | 24 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 25 | | operable firearm; | 26 | | (bb) shall not transfer the firearm and |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 22 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 2 | | operable firearm to the respondent; and | 3 | | (cc) will store the firearm and firearm parts | 4 | | that could be assembled to make an operable | 5 | | firearm in a manner that the respondent does not | 6 | | have access to or control of the firearm and | 7 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 8 | | operable firearm. | 9 | | (F)(i) The respondent may file a motion to | 10 | | transfer, at the next scheduled hearing, any seized or | 11 | | surrendered firearms or firearm parts to a third | 12 | | party. Notice of the motion shall be provided to the | 13 | | petitioner and the third party must appear at the | 14 | | hearing. | 15 | | (ii) The court may order transfer of the seized or | 16 | | surrendered firearm or firearm parts only if: | 17 | | (aa) the third party transferee affirms by | 18 | | affidavit to the open court that: | 19 | | (I) the third party transferee does not | 20 | | reside with the respondent; | 21 | | (II) the respondent does not have access | 22 | | to the location in which the third party | 23 | | transferee intends to keep the firearms or | 24 | | firearm parts; | 25 | | (III) the third party transferee will not | 26 | | transfer the firearm or firearm parts to the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 23 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent or anyone who resides with the | 2 | | respondent; | 3 | | (IV) the third party transferee will | 4 | | maintain control and possession of the firearm | 5 | | or firearm parts until otherwise ordered by | 6 | | the court; and | 7 | | (V) the third party transferee will be | 8 | | subject to criminal penalties for transferring | 9 | | the firearms or firearm parts to the | 10 | | respondent; and | 11 | | (bb) the court finds that: | 12 | | (I) the respondent holds a valid Firearm | 13 | | Owner's Identification; and | 14 | | (II) the transfer of firearms or firearm | 15 | | parts to the third party transferee does not | 16 | | place the petitioner or any other protected | 17 | | parties at any additional threat or risk of | 18 | | harm. | 19 | | (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic | 20 | | violence order of protection prohibits respondent from | 21 | | having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's | 22 | | address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5 | 23 | | of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful | 24 | | removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall | 25 | | deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from | 26 | | inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain, |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 24 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | school or any other records of the minor child who is in | 2 | | the care of petitioner. | 3 | | (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order | 4 | | respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary | 5 | | housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the | 6 | | cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and | 7 | | deemed reasonable by the court. | 8 | | (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive | 9 | | relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse | 10 | | of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the | 11 | | granted remedies, if supported by the balance of | 12 | | hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction | 13 | | is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed | 14 | | in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is | 15 | | designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to | 16 | | establish that the harm is an irreparable injury. | 17 | | (18) Telephone services. | 18 | | (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph | 19 | | (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon | 20 | | request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone | 21 | | service provider to transfer to the petitioner the | 22 | | right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers | 23 | | indicated by the petitioner and the financial | 24 | | responsibility associated with the number or numbers, | 25 | | as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In | 26 | | this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 25 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | service provider" means a provider of commercial | 2 | | mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The | 3 | | petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone | 4 | | number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or | 5 | | her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve | 6 | | the order on the wireless telephone service provider's | 7 | | agent for service of process provided to the Illinois | 8 | | Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of | 9 | | the following: | 10 | | (i) The name and billing telephone number of | 11 | | the account holder including the name of the | 12 | | wireless telephone service provider that serves | 13 | | the account. | 14 | | (ii) Each telephone number that will be | 15 | | transferred. | 16 | | (iii) A statement that the provider transfers | 17 | | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for | 18 | | and right to the use of any telephone number | 19 | | transferred under this paragraph. | 20 | | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | 21 | | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | 22 | | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | 23 | | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | 24 | | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | 25 | | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | 26 | | following applies: |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 26 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (i) The account holder named in the order has | 2 | | terminated the account. | 3 | | (ii) A difference in network technology would | 4 | | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | 5 | | a network if the transfer occurs. | 6 | | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | 7 | | other limitation on network or service provision | 8 | | to the petitioner. | 9 | | (iv) Another technological or operational | 10 | | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | 11 | | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | 12 | | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | 13 | | responsibility for and right to the use of any | 14 | | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | 15 | | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | 16 | | monthly service costs and costs associated with any | 17 | | mobile device associated with the number. | 18 | | (D) A wireless telephone service provider may | 19 | | apply to the petitioner its routine and customary | 20 | | requirements for establishing an account or | 21 | | transferring a number, including requiring the | 22 | | petitioner to provide proof of identification, | 23 | | financial information, and customer preferences. | 24 | | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | 25 | | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | 26 | | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 27 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | 2 | | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | 3 | | services to residential customers shall provide to the | 4 | | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of | 5 | | an agent for service of orders entered under this | 6 | | paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered | 7 | | agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce | 8 | | Commission within 30 days of such change. | 9 | | (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall | 10 | | maintain the list of registered agents for service for | 11 | | each wireless telephone service provider on the | 12 | | Commission's website. The Commission may consult with | 13 | | wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit | 14 | | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information | 15 | | is provided and displayed. | 16 | | (c) Relevant factors; findings. | 17 | | (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy, | 18 | | other than payment of support, the court shall consider | 19 | | relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the | 20 | | following: | 21 | | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and | 22 | | consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the | 23 | | petitioner or any family or household member, | 24 | | including the concealment of his or her location in | 25 | | order to evade service of process or notice, and the | 26 | | likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 28 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or | 2 | | household; and | 3 | | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be | 4 | | abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the | 5 | | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State, | 6 | | or improperly separated from the child's primary | 7 | | caretaker. | 8 | | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | 9 | | parties from loss of possession of the family home, the | 10 | | court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not | 11 | | limited to, the following: | 12 | | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | 13 | | adequacy, location, and other characteristics of | 14 | | alternate housing for each party and any minor child | 15 | | or dependent adult in the party's care; | 16 | | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and | 17 | | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, | 18 | | and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's | 19 | | care, to family, school, church, and community. | 20 | | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | 21 | | (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its | 22 | | findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at | 23 | | a minimum set forth the following: | 24 | | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | 25 | | relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) | 26 | | of this subsection (c). |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 29 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | 2 | | unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | 3 | | or continued abuse. | 4 | | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | 5 | | requested relief in order to protect petitioner or | 6 | | other alleged abused persons. | 7 | | (4) (Blank). | 8 | | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | 9 | | responsibilities for a minor child born outside of | 10 | | marriage attach to a putative father until a father and | 11 | | child relationship has been established under the Illinois | 12 | | Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, | 13 | | the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital | 14 | | Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate | 15 | | Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, | 16 | | the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, | 17 | | administrative, or other act of another state or | 18 | | territory, any other statute of this State, or by any | 19 | | foreign nation establishing the father and child | 20 | | relationship, any other proceeding substantially in | 21 | | conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and | 22 | | Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both | 23 | | parties appeared in open court or at an administrative | 24 | | hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by | 25 | | affirmation the existence of a father and child | 26 | | relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 30 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental | 2 | | responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor | 3 | | child, or physical care and possession of the minor child, | 4 | | nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor | 5 | | child be entered. | 6 | | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds | 7 | | that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of | 8 | | a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of | 9 | | subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such | 10 | | balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall | 11 | | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will | 12 | | result in hardship to respondent that would substantially | 13 | | outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. | 14 | | The findings shall be an official record or in writing. | 15 | | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | 16 | | based, in whole or in part, on evidence that: | 17 | | (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless | 18 | | that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of | 19 | | force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012; | 20 | | (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated; | 21 | | (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of | 22 | | another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such | 23 | | force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code | 24 | | of 2012; | 25 | | (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense | 26 | | of another; |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 31 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (5) petitioner left the residence or household to | 2 | | avoid further abuse by respondent; | 3 | | (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or | 4 | | household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or | 5 | | (7) conduct by any family or household member excused | 6 | | the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would | 7 | | have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family | 8 | | or household members. | 9 | | (Source: P.A. 101-81, eff. 7-12-19; 102-237, eff. 1-1-22; | 10 | | 102-538, eff. 8-20-21; 102-813, eff. 5-13-22.) | 11 | | Section 10. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is | 12 | | amended by changing Sections 214, 222, and 305 as follows: | 13 | | (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14) | 14 | | Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies. | 15 | | (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner | 16 | | has been abused by a family or household member or that | 17 | | petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, | 18 | | neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of | 19 | | protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation | 20 | | shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the | 21 | | requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate: | 22 | | Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim | 23 | | orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not | 24 | | be denied an order of protection because petitioner or |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 32 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or | 2 | | not to issue an order of protection, shall not require | 3 | | physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim. | 4 | | Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall | 5 | | be in accordance with this Act. | 6 | | (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in | 7 | | an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with | 8 | | this Section and one of the following Sections, as | 9 | | appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on | 10 | | interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The | 11 | | remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to | 12 | | other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner. | 13 | | (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. | 14 | | Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with | 15 | | personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical | 16 | | abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as | 17 | | defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as | 18 | | defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if | 19 | | such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has | 20 | | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not | 21 | | prohibited. | 22 | | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. | 23 | | Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any | 24 | | residence, household, or premises of the petitioner, | 25 | | including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner | 26 | | has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 33 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | possession of the residence, household, or premises shall | 2 | | not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be | 3 | | limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of | 4 | | Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | 5 | | Marriage Act. | 6 | | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | 7 | | occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely | 8 | | or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's | 9 | | spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that | 10 | | party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any | 11 | | person or entity other than the opposing party that | 12 | | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic | 13 | | violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph | 14 | | (B) shall not preclude equitable relief. | 15 | | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | 16 | | respondent each has the right to occupancy of a | 17 | | residence or household, the court shall balance (i) | 18 | | the hardships to respondent and any minor child or | 19 | | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | 20 | | entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to | 21 | | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in | 22 | | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to | 23 | | the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the | 24 | | residence or household) or from loss of possession of | 25 | | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | 26 | | avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 34 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | of hardships, the court shall also take into account | 2 | | the accessibility of the residence or household. | 3 | | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | 4 | | have a right to occupancy. | 5 | | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | 6 | | possession by petitioner unless the presumption is | 7 | | rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing | 8 | | that the hardships to respondent substantially | 9 | | outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor | 10 | | child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The | 11 | | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own | 12 | | motion, may order respondent to provide suitable, | 13 | | accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead | 14 | | of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or | 15 | | household. | 16 | | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order | 17 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other | 18 | | person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit | 19 | | respondent from entering or remaining present at | 20 | | petitioner's school, place of employment, or other | 21 | | specified places at times when petitioner is present, or | 22 | | both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships. | 23 | | Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a | 24 | | stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no | 25 | | right to enter the premises. | 26 | | (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 35 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits | 2 | | respondent from entering the residence, or orders | 3 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or other | 4 | | protected persons, then the court may allow respondent | 5 | | access to the residence to remove items of clothing | 6 | | and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent, | 7 | | medications, and other items as the court directs. The | 8 | | right to access shall be exercised on only one | 9 | | occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an | 10 | | agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement | 11 | | officer. | 12 | | (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend | 13 | | the same public, private, or non-public elementary, | 14 | | middle, or high school, the court when issuing an | 15 | | order of protection and providing relief shall | 16 | | consider the severity of the act, any continuing | 17 | | physical danger or emotional distress to the | 18 | | petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the | 19 | | petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, | 20 | | the availability of a transfer of the respondent to | 21 | | another school, a change of placement or a change of | 22 | | program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, | 23 | | and educational disruption that would be caused by a | 24 | | transfer of the respondent to another school, and any | 25 | | other relevant facts of the case. The court may order | 26 | | that the respondent not attend the public, private, or |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 36 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended | 2 | | by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a | 3 | | change of placement or change of program, as | 4 | | determined by the school district or private or | 5 | | non-public school, or place restrictions on the | 6 | | respondent's movements within the school attended by | 7 | | the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of | 8 | | proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a | 9 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program of | 10 | | the respondent is not available. The respondent also | 11 | | bears the burden of production with respect to the | 12 | | expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that | 13 | | would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to | 14 | | another school. A transfer, change of placement, or | 15 | | change of program is not unavailable to the respondent | 16 | | solely on the ground that the respondent does not | 17 | | agree with the school district's or private or | 18 | | non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or | 19 | | change of program or solely on the ground that the | 20 | | respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise | 21 | | does not take an action required to effectuate a | 22 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program. | 23 | | When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the | 24 | | public, private, or non-public school attended by the | 25 | | petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to | 26 | | another attendance center within the respondent's |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 37 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | school district or private or non-public school, the | 2 | | school district or private or non-public school shall | 3 | | have sole discretion to determine the attendance | 4 | | center to which the respondent is transferred. In the | 5 | | event the court order results in a transfer of the | 6 | | minor respondent to another attendance center, a | 7 | | change in the respondent's placement, or a change of | 8 | | the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or | 9 | | legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 10 | | transportation and other costs associated with the | 11 | | transfer or change. | 12 | | (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or | 13 | | legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain | 14 | | actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to | 15 | | ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In | 16 | | the event the court orders a transfer of the | 17 | | respondent to another school, the parents, guardian, | 18 | | or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible | 19 | | for transportation and other costs associated with the | 20 | | change of school by the respondent. | 21 | | (4) Counseling.

| 1 | | domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service | 2 | | the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the | 3 | | respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report | 4 | | to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol | 5 | | approved partner abuse intervention program for an | 6 | | assessment and to follow all recommended treatment. | 7 | | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. | 8 | | In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, | 9 | | or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the | 10 | | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | 11 | | the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either | 12 | | or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical | 13 | | care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii) | 14 | | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | 15 | | a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person | 16 | | in loco parentis. | 17 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has | 18 | | committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor | 19 | | child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that | 20 | | awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the | 21 | | minor child's best interest. | 22 | | (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities: | 23 | | significant decision-making. Award temporary | 24 | | decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance | 25 | | with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution | 26 | | of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and |

|
| 1 | | this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and | 2 | | Enforcement Act. | 3 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has | 4 | | committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor | 5 | | child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that | 6 | | awarding temporary significant decision-making | 7 | | responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's | 8 | | best interest. | 9 | | (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if | 10 | | any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards | 11 | | physical care or allocates temporary significant | 12 | | decision-making responsibility of a minor child to | 13 | | petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's | 14 | | parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that | 15 | | respondent has done or is likely to do any of the | 16 | | following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | 17 | | parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an | 18 | | opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's | 19 | | family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or | 20 | | detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner | 21 | | that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The | 22 | | court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in | 23 | | Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | 24 | | Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the | 25 | | order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time | 26 | | to take place or other specific parameters or conditions |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 40 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall | 2 | | refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time". | 3 | | Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor | 4 | | child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time, | 5 | | respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and | 6 | | constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of | 7 | | petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving | 8 | | in a violent or abusive manner. | 9 | | If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's | 10 | | family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be | 11 | | prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet | 12 | | the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall | 13 | | submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable | 14 | | alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may | 15 | | be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing | 16 | | an affidavit accepting that responsibility and | 17 | | acknowledging accountability to the court. | 18 | | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit | 19 | | respondent from removing a minor child from the State or | 20 | | concealing the child within the State. | 21 | | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in | 22 | | court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | 23 | | neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return | 24 | | the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to | 25 | | permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the | 26 | | child or the respondent. |

|
| 1 | | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner | 2 | | exclusive possession of personal property and, if | 3 | | respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to | 4 | | promptly make it available to petitioner, if: | 5 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 6 | | property; or | 7 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing | 8 | | it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is | 9 | | impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors | 10 | | temporary possession by petitioner. | 11 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the | 12 | | property is that it is marital property, the court may | 13 | | award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the | 14 | | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a | 15 | | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | 16 | | Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | 17 | | hereafter amended. | 18 | | No order under this provision shall affect title to | 19 | | property. | 20 | | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | 21 | | from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing, | 22 | | damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal | 23 | | property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, | 24 | | if: | 25 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 26 | | property; or |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 42 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the | 2 | | balance of hardships favors granting this remedy. | 3 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the | 4 | | property is that it is marital property, the court may | 5 | | grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this | 6 | | paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under | 7 | | the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 8 | | now or hereafter amended. | 9 | | The court may further prohibit respondent from | 10 | | improperly using the financial or other resources of an | 11 | | aged member of the family or household for the profit or | 12 | | advantage of respondent or of any other person. | 13 | | (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the | 14 | | exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, | 15 | | possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner | 16 | | or the respondent or a minor child residing in the | 17 | | residence or household of either the petitioner or the | 18 | | respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the | 19 | | animal and forbid the respondent from taking, | 20 | | transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or | 21 | | otherwise disposing of the animal. | 22 | | (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to | 23 | | pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in | 24 | | the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been | 25 | | allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has | 26 | | a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 43 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage | 2 | | Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount | 3 | | of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of | 4 | | income to secure payment. An order for child support may | 5 | | be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a | 6 | | child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a | 7 | | child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant | 8 | | decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall | 9 | | expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental | 10 | | responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's | 11 | | significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise | 12 | | provided in the order. | 13 | | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to | 14 | | pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of | 15 | | the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall | 16 | | include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost | 17 | | earnings or other support, repair or replacement of | 18 | | property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees, | 19 | | court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including | 20 | | additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and | 21 | | restaurant meals. | 22 | | (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is | 23 | | entitled to seek maintenance, child support or | 24 | | property distribution from the other party under the | 25 | | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 26 | | now or hereafter amended, the court may order |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 44 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to | 2 | | the extent that such reimbursement would be | 3 | | "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by | 4 | | subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act. | 5 | | (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an | 6 | | improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the | 7 | | court may order respondent to pay the reasonable | 8 | | expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for | 9 | | and recovery of the minor child, including but not | 10 | | limited to legal fees, court costs, private | 11 | | investigator fees, and travel costs. | 12 | | (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent | 13 | | from entering or remaining in the residence or household | 14 | | while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or | 15 | | drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and | 16 | | well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children. | 17 | | (14.5) Prohibition of possession of firearms and | 18 | | firearm parts; search and seizure of firearms and firearms | 19 | | parts firearm possession . | 20 | | ( A a ) (i) Prohibit a respondent against whom an | 21 | | emergency, interim, or plenary order of protection was | 22 | | issued from possessing , during the duration of the | 23 | | order, any firearms or firearm parts that could be | 24 | | assembled into an operable firearm during the duration | 25 | | of the order if a search warrant is issued under (A-1) | 26 | | or the order: |

If, at a hearing on the | 7 | | petition, the court determines the person to be the | 8 | | lawful owner of the firearm and firearm parts that | 9 | | could be assembled to make an operable firearm, the | 10 | | firearm and firearm parts that could be assembled to | 11 | | make an operable firearm shall be returned to the | 12 | | person, provided that: | 13 | | (aa) the firearm and firearm parts that could | 14 | | be assembled to make an operable firearm are | 15 | | removed from the respondent's custody, control, or | 16 | | possession and the lawful owner agrees to store | 17 | | the firearm and firearm parts that could be | 18 | | assembled to make an operable firearm in a manner | 19 | | such that the respondent does not have access to | 20 | | or control of the firearm and firearm parts that | 21 | | could be assembled to make an operable firearm; | 22 | | and | 23 | | (bb) the firearm and firearm parts that could | 24 | | be assembled to make an operable firearm are not | 25 | | otherwise unlawfully possessed by the owner. | 26 | | (ii) The person petitioning for the return of his |

|
| 1 | | or her firearm and firearm parts that could be | 2 | | assembled to make an operable firearm must swear or | 3 | | affirm by affidavit that he or she: | 4 | | (aa) is the lawful owner of the firearm and | 5 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 6 | | operable firearm; | 7 | | (bb) shall not transfer the firearm and | 8 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 9 | | operable firearm to the respondent; and | 10 | | (cc) will store the firearm and firearm parts | 11 | | that could be assembled to make an operable | 12 | | firearm in a manner that the respondent does not | 13 | | have access to or control of the firearm and | 14 | | firearm parts that could be assembled to make an | 15 | | operable firearm. | 16 | | (E)(i) The respondent may file a motion to | 17 | | transfer, at the next scheduled hearing, any seized or | 18 | | surrendered firearms or firearm parts to a third | 19 | | party. Notice of the motion shall be provided to the | 20 | | petitioner and the third party must appear at the | 21 | | hearing. | 22 | | (ii) The court may order transfer of the seized or | 23 | | surrendered firearm or firearm parts only if: | 24 | | (aa) the third party transferee affirms by | 25 | | affidavit to the open court that: | 26 | | (I) the third party transferee does not |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 57 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | reside with the respondent; | 2 | | (II) the respondent does not have access | 3 | | to the location in which the third party | 4 | | transferee intends to keep the firearms or | 5 | | firearm parts; | 6 | | (III) the third party transferee will not | 7 | | transfer the firearm or firearm parts to the | 8 | | respondent or anyone who resides with the | 9 | | respondent; | 10 | | (IV) the third party transferee will | 11 | | maintain control and possession of the firearm | 12 | | or firearm parts until otherwise ordered by | 13 | | the court; and | 14 | | (V) the third party transferee will be | 15 | | subject to criminal penalties for transferring | 16 | | the firearms or firearm parts to the | 17 | | respondent; and | 18 | | (bb) the court finds that: | 19 | | (I) the respondent holds a valid Firearm | 20 | | Owner's Identification; and | 21 | | (II) the transfer of firearms or firearm | 22 | | parts to the third party transferee does not | 23 | | place the petitioner or any other protected | 24 | | parties at any additional threat or risk of | 25 | | harm. | 26 | | (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 58 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | protection prohibits respondent from having contact with | 2 | | the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted | 3 | | under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to | 4 | | prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a | 5 | | minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to, | 6 | | and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or | 7 | | attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other | 8 | | records of the minor child who is in the care of | 9 | | petitioner. | 10 | | (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order | 11 | | respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary | 12 | | housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the | 13 | | cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and | 14 | | deemed reasonable by the court. | 15 | | (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive | 16 | | relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse | 17 | | of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, | 18 | | or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or | 19 | | to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by | 20 | | the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by | 21 | | the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the | 22 | | remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this | 23 | | subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is | 24 | | necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury. | 25 | | (18) Telephone services. | 26 | | (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 59 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon | 2 | | request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone | 3 | | service provider to transfer to the petitioner the | 4 | | right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers | 5 | | indicated by the petitioner and the financial | 6 | | responsibility associated with the number or numbers, | 7 | | as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. | 8 | | For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term | 9 | | "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider | 10 | | of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. | 11 | | 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each | 12 | | telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child | 13 | | in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court | 14 | | shall serve the order on the wireless telephone | 15 | | service provider's agent for service of process | 16 | | provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The | 17 | | order shall contain all of the following: | 18 | | (i) The name and billing telephone number of | 19 | | the account holder including the name of the | 20 | | wireless telephone service provider that serves | 21 | | the account. | 22 | | (ii) Each telephone number that will be | 23 | | transferred. | 24 | | (iii) A statement that the provider transfers | 25 | | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for | 26 | | and right to the use of any telephone number |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 60 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | transferred under this paragraph. | 2 | | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | 3 | | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | 4 | | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | 5 | | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | 6 | | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | 7 | | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | 8 | | following applies: | 9 | | (i) The account holder named in the order has | 10 | | terminated the account. | 11 | | (ii) A difference in network technology would | 12 | | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | 13 | | a network if the transfer occurs. | 14 | | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | 15 | | other limitation on network or service provision | 16 | | to the petitioner. | 17 | | (iv) Another technological or operational | 18 | | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | 19 | | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | 20 | | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | 21 | | responsibility for and right to the use of any | 22 | | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | 23 | | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | 24 | | monthly service costs and costs associated with any | 25 | | mobile device associated with the number. | 26 | | (D) A wireless telephone service provider may |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 61 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | apply to the petitioner its routine and customary | 2 | | requirements for establishing an account or | 3 | | transferring a number, including requiring the | 4 | | petitioner to provide proof of identification, | 5 | | financial information, and customer preferences. | 6 | | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | 7 | | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | 8 | | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance | 9 | | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | 10 | | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | 11 | | services to residential customers shall provide to the | 12 | | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of | 13 | | an agent for service of orders entered under this | 14 | | paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered | 15 | | agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce | 16 | | Commission within 30 days of such change. | 17 | | (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall | 18 | | maintain the list of registered agents for service for | 19 | | each wireless telephone service provider on the | 20 | | Commission's website. The Commission may consult with | 21 | | wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit | 22 | | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information | 23 | | is provided and displayed. | 24 | | (c) Relevant factors; findings. | 25 | | (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy, | 26 | | other than payment of support, the court shall consider |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 62 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | relevant factors, including but not limited to the | 2 | | following: | 3 | | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and | 4 | | consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect | 5 | | or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or | 6 | | household member, including the concealment of his or | 7 | | her location in order to evade service of process or | 8 | | notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse, | 9 | | neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member | 10 | | of petitioner's or respondent's family or household; | 11 | | and | 12 | | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be | 13 | | abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the | 14 | | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or | 15 | | improperly separated from the child's primary | 16 | | caretaker. | 17 | | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | 18 | | parties from loss of possession of the family home, the | 19 | | court shall consider relevant factors, including but not | 20 | | limited to the following: | 21 | | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | 22 | | adequacy, location and other characteristics of | 23 | | alternate housing for each party and any minor child | 24 | | or dependent adult in the party's care; | 25 | | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and | 26 | | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 63 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's | 2 | | care, to family, school, church and community. | 3 | | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | 4 | | (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings | 5 | | in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum | 6 | | set forth the following: | 7 | | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | 8 | | relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) | 9 | | of this subsection. | 10 | | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | 11 | | unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | 12 | | or continued abuse. | 13 | | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | 14 | | requested relief in order to protect petitioner or | 15 | | other alleged abused persons. | 16 | | (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency | 17 | | order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as | 18 | | a supplement to making the findings described in | 19 | | paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this | 20 | | subsection, may use the following procedure: | 21 | | When a verified petition for an emergency order of | 22 | | protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections | 23 | | 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall | 24 | | examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency | 25 | | order of protection shall be issued by the court if it | 26 | | appears from the contents of the petition and the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 64 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | examination of petitioner that the averments are | 2 | | sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support | 3 | | the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency | 4 | | order of protection. | 5 | | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | 6 | | responsibilities for a minor child born outside of | 7 | | marriage attach to a putative father until a father and | 8 | | child relationship has been established under the Illinois | 9 | | Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, | 10 | | the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital | 11 | | Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate | 12 | | Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of | 13 | | Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, | 14 | | the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, | 15 | | administrative, or other act of another state or | 16 | | territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign | 17 | | nation establishing the father and child relationship, any | 18 | | other proceeding substantially in conformity with the | 19 | | Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity | 20 | | Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where | 21 | | both parties appeared in open court or at an | 22 | | administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or | 23 | | admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and | 24 | | child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding, | 25 | | or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted | 26 | | temporary allocation of parental responsibilities, |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 65 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | including parenting time with the minor child, or physical | 2 | | care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order | 3 | | of payment for support of the minor child be entered. | 4 | | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds | 5 | | that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of | 6 | | a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of | 7 | | subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such | 8 | | balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall | 9 | | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will | 10 | | result in hardship to respondent that would substantially | 11 | | outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. | 12 | | The findings shall be an official record or in writing. | 13 | | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | 14 | | based, 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; | 19 | | (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of | 20 | | another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such | 21 | | force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code | 22 | | of 2012; | 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, neglect, or exploitation by |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 66 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent; | 2 | | (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or | 3 | | household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation | 4 | | by respondent; | 5 | | (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused | 6 | | the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless | 7 | | that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect, | 8 | | or exploitation if the parties had not been family or | 9 | | household members. | 10 | | (Source: P.A. 102-538, eff. 8-20-21.) | 11 | | (750 ILCS 60/222) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-22) | 12 | | Sec. 222. Notice of orders. | 13 | | (a) Entry and issuance. Upon issuance of any order of | 14 | | protection, the clerk shall immediately (i) enter the order on | 15 | | the record and file it in accordance with the circuit court | 16 | | procedures and (ii) provide a file stamped copy of the order to | 17 | | respondent, if present, and to petitioner. | 18 | | (b) Filing with sheriff or other law enforcement | 19 | | officials . The clerk of the issuing judge shall, or the | 20 | | petitioner may, on the same day that an order of protection is | 21 | | issued, file a certified copy of that order with the sheriff or | 22 | | other law enforcement officials charged with maintaining | 23 | | Illinois State Police records or charged with serving the | 24 | | order upon respondent or executing any search warrant issued | 25 | | under paragraph (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 67 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | this Act. If a search warrant is issued under paragraph (14.5) | 2 | | of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, the clerk of the | 3 | | issuing judge shall, or the petitioner may, on the same day | 4 | | that the warrant is issued, transmit the warrant to the law | 5 | | enforcement agency to which the warrant is directed . If the | 6 | | respondent, at the time of the issuance of the order, is | 7 | | committed to the custody of the Illinois Department of | 8 | | Corrections or Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice or is | 9 | | on parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release, | 10 | | the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with | 11 | | maintaining Illinois State Police records shall notify the | 12 | | Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice | 13 | | within 48 hours of receipt of a copy of the order of protection | 14 | | from the clerk of the issuing judge or the petitioner. Such | 15 | | notice shall include the name of the respondent, the | 16 | | respondent's IDOC inmate number or IDJJ youth identification | 17 | | number, the respondent's date of birth, and the LEADS Record | 18 | | Index Number. | 19 | | (c) Service by sheriff. Unless respondent was present in | 20 | | court when the order was issued, the sheriff, other law | 21 | | enforcement official or special process server shall promptly | 22 | | serve that order upon respondent and file proof of such | 23 | | service, in the manner provided for service of process in | 24 | | civil proceedings. Instead of serving the order upon the | 25 | | respondent, however, the sheriff, other law enforcement | 26 | | official, special process server, or other persons defined in |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 68 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | Section 222.10 may serve the respondent with a short form | 2 | | notification as provided in Section 222.10. If process has not | 3 | | yet been served upon the respondent, it shall be served with | 4 | | the order or short form notification if such service is made by | 5 | | the sheriff, other law enforcement official, or special | 6 | | process server. A single fee may be charged for service of an | 7 | | order obtained in civil court, or for service of such an order | 8 | | together with process, unless waived or deferred under Section | 9 | | 210. | 10 | | (c-5) If the person against whom the order of protection | 11 | | is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in | 12 | | accordance with subsection (c) of Section 217 and received by | 13 | | the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or | 14 | | arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law | 15 | | enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the | 16 | | respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is | 17 | | released from custody. In no event shall detention of the | 18 | | respondent or arrestee be extended for hearing on the petition | 19 | | for order of protection or receipt of the order issued under | 20 | | Section 217 of this Act. | 21 | | (d) Extensions, modifications and revocations. Any order | 22 | | extending, modifying or revoking any order of protection shall | 23 | | be promptly recorded, issued and served as provided in this | 24 | | Section. | 25 | | (e) Notice to schools. Upon the request of the petitioner, | 26 | | within 24 hours of the issuance of an order of protection, the |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 69 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | clerk of the issuing judge shall send a certified copy of the | 2 | | order of protection to the day-care facility, pre-school or | 3 | | pre-kindergarten, or private school or the principal office of | 4 | | the public school district or any college or university in | 5 | | which any child who is a protected person under the order of | 6 | | protection or any child of the petitioner is enrolled as | 7 | | requested by the petitioner at the mailing address provided by | 8 | | the petitioner. If the child transfers enrollment to another | 9 | | day-care facility, pre-school, pre-kindergarten, private | 10 | | school, public school, college, or university, the petitioner | 11 | | may, within 24 hours of the transfer, send to the clerk written | 12 | | notice of the transfer, including the name and address of the | 13 | | institution to which the child is transferring. Within 24 | 14 | | hours of receipt of notice from the petitioner that a child is | 15 | | transferring to another day-care facility, pre-school, | 16 | | pre-kindergarten, private school, public school, college, or | 17 | | university, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the order | 18 | | to the institution to which the child is transferring. | 19 | | (f) Disclosure by schools. After receiving a certified | 20 | | copy of an order of protection that prohibits a respondent's | 21 | | access to records, neither a day-care facility, pre-school, | 22 | | pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or | 23 | | university nor its employees shall allow a respondent access | 24 | | to a protected child's records or release information in those | 25 | | records to the respondent. The school shall file the copy of | 26 | | the order of protection in the records of a child who is a |
| | | HB4144 Enrolled | - 70 - | LRB103 34131 LNS 63949 b |
|
| 1 | | protected person under the order of protection. When a child | 2 | | who is a protected person under the order of protection | 3 | | transfers to another day-care facility, pre-school, | 4 | | pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or | 5 | | university, the institution from which the child is | 6 | | transferring may, at the request of the petitioner, provide, | 7 | | within 24 hours of the transfer, written notice of the order of | 8 | | protection, along with a certified copy of the order, to the | 9 | | institution to which the child is transferring. | 10 | | (g) Notice to health care facilities and health care | 11 | | practitioners. Upon the request of the petitioner, the clerk | 12 | | of the circuit court shall send a certified copy of the order | 13 | | of protection to any specified health care facility or health | 14 | | care practitioner requested by the petitioner at the mailing | 15 | | address provided by the petitioner. | 16 | | (h) Disclosure by health care facilities and health care | 17 | | practitioners. After receiving a certified copy of an order of | 18 | | protection that prohibits a respondent's access to records, no | 19 | | health care facility or health care practitioner shall allow a | 20 | | respondent access to the records of any child who is a | 21 | | protected person under the order of protection, or release | 22 | | information in those records to the respondent, unless the | 23 | | order has expired or the respondent shows a certified copy of | 24 | | the court order vacating the corresponding order of protection | 25 | | that was sent to the health care facility or practitioner. | 26 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require health |

|
| 1 | | care facilities or health care practitioners to alter | 2 | | procedures related to billing and payment. The health care | 3 | | facility or health care practitioner may file the copy of the | 4 | | order of protection in the records of a child who is a | 5 | | protected person under the order of protection, or may employ | 6 | | any other method to identify the records to which a respondent | 7 | | is prohibited access. No health care facility or health care | 8 | | practitioner shall be civilly or professionally liable for | 9 | | reliance on a copy of an order of protection, except for | 10 | | willful and wanton misconduct. | 11 | | (Source: P.A. 101-508, eff. 1-1-20; 102-538, eff. 8-20-21.) | 12 | | (750 ILCS 60/305) (from Ch. 40, par. 2313-5) | 13 | | Sec. 305.
