17 | presenting evidence of a meritorious defense. The respondent | ||||||
18 | shall file a written notice alleging a meritorious defense | ||||||
19 | which shall be verified and supported by affidavit. The | ||||||
20 | verified notice and affidavit shall set forth the evidence that | ||||||
21 | will be presented at a hearing. If the court finds that the | ||||||

23 | defense by a preponderance of the evidence, the court may | ||||||
24 | decide not to issue a protective order. | ||||||
25 | (b) The petitioner shall not be denied a protective order | ||||||

| |||||||

13 | remedies.
| ||||||
14 | (a) (Blank).
| ||||||
15 | (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this | ||||||
16 | subsection (b) .
The remedies listed in this subsection (b) | ||||||
17 | shall be in addition to other civil
or criminal remedies | ||||||
18 | available to petitioner.
| ||||||
19 | (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's | ||||||
20 | harassment,
interference with personal liberty, | ||||||
21 | intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse , or willful | ||||||
22 | deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
| ||||||
23 | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not | ||||||
24 | prohibited.
| ||||||
25 | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 Section 701 of the | ||||||
8 | Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
| ||||||
9 | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | ||||||
10 | occupancy of a
residence or household if it is
solely | ||||||
11 | or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's | ||||||
12 | spouse, a
person with a legal duty to support that | ||||||
13 | party or a minor child in that
party's care, or by any | ||||||
14 | person or entity other than the opposing party that
| ||||||
15 | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic | ||||||
16 | violence shelter).
Standards set forth in subparagraph | ||||||
17 | (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
| ||||||
18 | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | ||||||
19 | respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a | ||||||
20 | residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the | ||||||
21 | hardships to respondent and any minor child or
| ||||||
22 | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | ||||||
23 | entry of this remedy with (ii)
the hardships to | ||||||
24 | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
| ||||||
25 | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to | ||||||
26 | the risk of abuse (should
petitioner remain at the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | residence or household) or from loss of possession
of | ||||||
2 | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | ||||||
3 | avoid the risk
of abuse). When determining the balance | ||||||
4 | of hardships, the court shall also
take into account | ||||||
5 | the accessibility of the residence or household.
| ||||||
6 | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | ||||||
7 | have a right to occupancy.
| ||||||
8 | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | ||||||
9 | possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is | ||||||
10 | rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing | ||||||
11 | that the hardships to respondent substantially | ||||||
12 | outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor | ||||||
13 | child or dependent adult in petitioner's
care. The | ||||||
14 | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own | ||||||
15 | motion,
may order respondent to provide suitable, | ||||||
16 | accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead | ||||||
17 | of
excluding respondent from a mutual residence or | ||||||
18 | household.
| ||||||
19 | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order | ||||||
20 | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
| ||||||
21 | protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or | ||||||
22 | prohibit respondent from entering
or remaining present at | ||||||
23 | petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
| ||||||
24 | specified places at times when petitioner is present, or | ||||||
25 | both, if
reasonable, given
the balance of hardships. | ||||||
26 | Hardships need not be balanced for the court
to enter a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stay away order or prohibit entry
if respondent has no | ||||||
2 | right to enter the premises.
| ||||||
3 | (A) If a domestic violence an order of protection | ||||||
4 | grants petitioner exclusive possession
of the | ||||||
5 | residence, or prohibits respondent from entering the | ||||||
6 | residence,
or orders respondent to stay away from | ||||||
7 | petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court | ||||||
8 | may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove | ||||||
9 | items of clothing and personal adornment
used | ||||||
10 | exclusively by respondent, medications, and other | ||||||
11 | items as the court directs.
The right to access shall | ||||||
12 | be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
| ||||||
13 | and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party | ||||||
14 | or law enforcement officer.
| ||||||
15 | (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend | ||||||
16 | the same public, private, or non-public elementary, | ||||||
17 | middle, or high school, the court when issuing a | ||||||
18 | domestic violence an order of protection and providing | ||||||
19 | relief shall consider the severity of the act, any | ||||||
20 | continuing physical danger or emotional distress to | ||||||
21 | the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to | ||||||
22 | the petitioner and respondent under federal and State | ||||||
23 | law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent | ||||||
24 | to another school, a change of placement or a change of | ||||||
25 | program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, | ||||||
26 | and educational disruption that would be caused by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | transfer of the respondent to another school, and any | ||||||
2 | other relevant facts of the case. The court may order | ||||||
3 | that the respondent not attend the public, private, or | ||||||
4 | non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended | ||||||
5 | by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a | ||||||
6 | change of placement or change of program, as determined | ||||||
7 | by the school district or private or non-public school, | ||||||
8 | or place restrictions on the respondent's movements | ||||||
9 | within the school attended by the petitioner. The | ||||||
10 | respondent bears the burden of proving by a | ||||||
11 | preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change | ||||||
12 | of placement, or change of program of the respondent is | ||||||
13 | not available. The respondent also bears the burden of | ||||||
14 | production with respect to the expense, difficulty, | ||||||
15 | and educational disruption that would be caused by a | ||||||
16 | transfer of the respondent to another school. A | ||||||
17 | transfer, change of placement, or change of program is | ||||||
18 | not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground | ||||||
19 | that the respondent does not agree with the school | ||||||
20 | district's or private or non-public school's transfer, | ||||||
21 | change of placement, or change of program or solely on | ||||||
22 | the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to | ||||||
23 | consent or otherwise does not take an action required | ||||||
24 | to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or | ||||||
25 | change of program. When a court orders a respondent to | ||||||
26 | stay away from the public, private, or non-public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | school attended by the petitioner and the respondent | ||||||
2 | requests a transfer to another attendance center | ||||||
3 | within the respondent's school district or private or | ||||||
4 | non-public school, the school district or private or | ||||||
5 | non-public school shall have sole discretion to | ||||||
6 | determine the attendance center to which the | ||||||
7 | respondent is transferred. If the court order results | ||||||
8 | in a transfer of the minor respondent to another | ||||||
9 | attendance center, a change in the respondent's | ||||||
10 | placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the | ||||||
11 | parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the | ||||||
12 | respondent is responsible for transportation and other | ||||||
13 | costs associated with the transfer or change. | ||||||
14 | (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or | ||||||
15 | legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain | ||||||
16 | actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to | ||||||
17 | ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If | ||||||
18 | the court orders a transfer of the respondent to | ||||||
19 | another school, the parents, guardian, or legal | ||||||
20 | custodian of the respondent is responsible for | ||||||
21 | transportation and other costs associated with the | ||||||
22 | change of school by the respondent. | ||||||
23 | (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to | ||||||
24 | undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social | ||||||
25 | worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, | ||||||
26 | family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing | ||||||
2 | services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
| ||||||
3 | abusers or any other guidance service the court deems | ||||||
4 | appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any | ||||||
5 | intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois | ||||||
6 | Department of Human Services protocol approved partner | ||||||
7 | abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow | ||||||
8 | all recommended treatment.
| ||||||
9 | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In | ||||||
10 | order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
11 | unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the | ||||||
12 | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | ||||||
13 | the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either | ||||||
14 | or both of the following:
(i) grant petitioner physical | ||||||
15 | care or possession of the minor child, or both, or
(ii) | ||||||
16 | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | ||||||
17 | a minor child
from, the physical care of a parent or person | ||||||
18 | in loco parentis.
| ||||||
19 | If the respondent is charged with abuse
(as defined in | ||||||
20 | Section 112A-3 of this Code ) of a minor child, there shall | ||||||
21 | be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to | ||||||
22 | respondent would not
be in the minor child's best interest.
| ||||||
23 | (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities | ||||||
24 | and significant decision-making responsibilities legal | ||||||
25 | custody .
Award temporary significant decision-making | ||||||
26 | responsibility legal custody to petitioner in accordance |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with this Section,
the Illinois Marriage
and Dissolution of | ||||||
2 | Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
and this | ||||||
3 | State's Uniform Child-Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement | ||||||
4 | Act.
| ||||||
5 | If the respondent
is charged with abuse (as defined in | ||||||
6 | Section 112A-3 of this Code ) of a
minor child, there shall | ||||||
7 | be a rebuttable presumption that awarding
temporary | ||||||
8 | significant decision-making responsibility legal custody | ||||||
9 | to respondent would not be in the
child's best interest.
| ||||||
10 | (7) Parenting time Visitation . Determine the parenting | ||||||
11 | time
visitation rights , if any, of respondent in any case | ||||||
12 | in which the court
awards physical care or temporary | ||||||
13 | significant decision-making responsibility legal custody | ||||||
14 | of a minor child to
petitioner. The court shall restrict or | ||||||
15 | deny respondent's parenting time visitation with
a minor | ||||||
16 | child if
the court finds that respondent has done or is | ||||||
17 | likely to do any of the
following: | ||||||
18 | (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | ||||||
19 | parenting time visitation ; | ||||||
20 | (ii) use the parenting time
visitation as an | ||||||
21 | opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or
| ||||||
22 | petitioner's family or household members; | ||||||
23 | (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the minor | ||||||
24 | child; or | ||||||
25 | (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in
the | ||||||
26 | best interests of the minor child. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The court shall not be limited by the
standards set | ||||||
2 | forth in Section 603.10 607.1 of the Illinois Marriage and
| ||||||
3 | Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting | ||||||
4 | time visitation , the order
shall specify dates and times | ||||||
5 | for the parenting time visitation to take place or other
| ||||||
6 | specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No | ||||||
7 | order for parenting time
visitation shall refer merely to | ||||||
8 | the term "reasonable parenting time" "reasonable | ||||||
9 | visitation" . Petitioner may deny respondent access to the | ||||||
10 | minor child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time | ||||||
11 | visitation , respondent is under the influence of drugs
or | ||||||
12 | alcohol and constitutes a threat to the safety and | ||||||
13 | well-being of
petitioner or petitioner's minor children or | ||||||
14 | is behaving in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to | ||||||
15 | protect any member of petitioner's family or
household from | ||||||
16 | future abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
| ||||||
17 | petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for | ||||||
18 | parenting time visitation , and the petitioner and | ||||||
19 | respondent
parties shall submit to the court their | ||||||
20 | recommendations for reasonable
alternative arrangements | ||||||
21 | for parenting time visitation . A person may be approved to
| ||||||
22 | supervise parenting time visitation only after filing an | ||||||
23 | affidavit accepting
that responsibility and acknowledging | ||||||
24 | accountability to the court.
| ||||||
25 | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child.
Prohibit | ||||||
26 | respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | concealing the child within the
State.
| ||||||
2 | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to
appear in | ||||||
3 | court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | ||||||
4 | neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the | ||||||
5 | child to the custody or care of the petitioner , or
to | ||||||
6 | permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the | ||||||
7 | child or the
respondent.
| ||||||
8 | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner | ||||||
9 | exclusive
possession of personal property and, if | ||||||
10 | respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to | ||||||
11 | promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
| ||||||
12 | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | ||||||
13 | property; or
| ||||||
14 | (ii) the petitioner and respondent parties own the | ||||||
15 | property jointly; sharing it would risk
abuse of | ||||||
16 | petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the | ||||||
17 | balance of
hardships favors temporary possession by | ||||||
18 | petitioner.
| ||||||
19 | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | ||||||
20 | is that it is
marital property, the court may award | ||||||
21 | petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the | ||||||
22 | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a | ||||||
23 | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | ||||||
24 | Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | ||||||
25 | hereafter amended.
| ||||||
26 | No order under this provision shall affect title to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property.
| ||||||
2 | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | ||||||
3 | from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, | ||||||
4 | damaging , or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal | ||||||
5 | property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
| ||||||
6 | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | ||||||
7 | property; or
| ||||||
8 | (ii) the petitioner and respondent parties 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 property | ||||||
12 | is that it is
marital property, the court may grant | ||||||
13 | 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 | ||||||

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

8 | respondent has a legal obligation to support that person,
| ||||||
9 | in accordance with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of | ||||||
10 | Marriage Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the | ||||||
11 | amount of
support, payment through the clerk and | ||||||
12 | withholding of income to secure
payment. An order for child | ||||||
13 | support may be granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical | ||||||
14 | care or custody of a child, or an order or agreement for
| ||||||
15 | physical care of a child or custody , prior to entry of an | ||||||
16 | order allocating significant decision-making | ||||||
17 | responsibility for legal custody .
Such a support order | ||||||
18 | shall expire upon entry of a valid order allocating | ||||||
19 | parental responsibility differently and vacating | ||||||
20 | petitioner's significant decision-making responsibility | ||||||
21 | granting
legal custody to another, unless otherwise | ||||||
22 | provided in the custody order.
| ||||||
23 | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order
respondent to | ||||||

support, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | repair or replacement of property damaged or taken, | ||||||
2 | reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs , and moving or | ||||||
3 | other travel expenses, including
additional reasonable | ||||||
4 | expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
| ||||||
5 | (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is | ||||||
6 | entitled to seek
maintenance, child support , or | ||||||
7 | property distribution from the other party
under the | ||||||
8 | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | ||||||
9 | now or
hereafter amended, the court may order | ||||||
10 | respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to | ||||||
11 | the extent that such reimbursement would be | ||||||
12 | "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by | ||||||
13 | subsection (a)(3) of
Section 501 of that Act.
| ||||||
14 | (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an | ||||||
15 | improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the | ||||||
16 | court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
| ||||||
17 | expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for | ||||||
18 | and recovery of the
minor child, including , but not | ||||||
19 | limited to , legal fees, court costs, private
| ||||||
20 | investigator fees, and travel costs.
| ||||||
21 | (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent | ||||||
22 | from entering or
remaining in the residence or household | ||||||
23 | while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or | ||||||
24 | drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being | ||||||
25 | of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
| ||||||
26 | (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) A person who is subject to an existing domestic | ||||||
2 | violence order of protection , issued under this Code | ||||||
3 | may not lawfully possess weapons under Section 8.2 of | ||||||
4 | the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. | ||||||
5 | (B) Any firearms in the
possession of the | ||||||
6 | respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of | ||||||
7 | this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court to | ||||||
8 | be turned
over to a person with a valid Firearm Owner's | ||||||
9 | Identification Card for safekeeping. The court shall | ||||||
10 | issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's | ||||||
11 | Identification Card be turned over to the local law | ||||||
12 | enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately | ||||||
13 | mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm | ||||||
14 | Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
| ||||||
15 | The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of | ||||||
16 | the domestic violence order of protection. The firearm | ||||||
17 | or firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card, | ||||||
18 | if unexpired, shall at the respondent's request be | ||||||
19 | returned to the respondent at expiration of the | ||||||
20 | domestic violence order of protection.
| ||||||
21 | (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined | ||||||
22 | in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, the court | ||||||
23 | shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in | ||||||
24 | the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer | ||||||
25 | be surrendered to
the chief law enforcement executive | ||||||
26 | of the agency in which the respondent is
employed, who |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the | ||||||
2 | duration of the domestic violence order of protection.
| ||||||
3 | (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, | ||||||
4 | if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
5 | cannot be returned to respondent because respondent | ||||||
6 | cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to | ||||||
7 | retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to | ||||||
8 | possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law | ||||||
9 | enforcement agency, the court may order the local law | ||||||
10 | enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the | ||||||
11 | firearms for training purposes, or for any other | ||||||
12 | application as deemed appropriate by the local law | ||||||
13 | enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over | ||||||
14 | to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess | ||||||
15 | firearms, and who does not reside with respondent. | ||||||
16 | (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic | ||||||
17 | violence an order of protection
prohibits respondent from | ||||||
18 | having contact with the minor child,
or if petitioner's | ||||||
19 | address is omitted under subsection (b) of
Section 112A-5 | ||||||
20 | of this Code , or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful | ||||||
21 | removal or
concealment of a minor child, the order shall | ||||||
22 | deny respondent access to, and
prohibit respondent from | ||||||
23 | inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to
inspect or obtain, | ||||||
24 | school or any other records of the minor child
who is in | ||||||
25 | the care of petitioner.
| ||||||
26 | (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary | ||||||
2 | housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the | ||||||
3 | cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and | ||||||
4 | deemed reasonable by the court.
| ||||||
5 | (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive | ||||||
6 | relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse of | ||||||
7 | a family or household member or
to effectuate one of the | ||||||
8 | granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
hardships. | ||||||
9 | If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or | ||||||
10 | any
other harm that one of the remedies listed in | ||||||
11 | paragraphs (1) through (16)
of this subsection is designed | ||||||
12 | to prevent, no further evidence is necessary
to establish | ||||||
13 | that the harm is an irreparable injury.
| ||||||
14 | (18) Telephone services. | ||||||
15 | (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph | ||||||
16 | (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon | ||||||
17 | request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone | ||||||
18 | service provider to transfer to the petitioner the | ||||||
19 | right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers | ||||||
20 | indicated by the petitioner and the financial | ||||||
21 | responsibility associated with the number or numbers, | ||||||
22 | as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In | ||||||
23 | For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless | ||||||
24 | telephone service provider" means a provider of | ||||||
25 | commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. | ||||||
26 | The petitioner may request the transfer of each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child | ||||||
2 | in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court | ||||||
3 | shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service | ||||||
4 | provider's agent for service of process provided to the | ||||||
5 | Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain | ||||||
6 | all of the following: | ||||||
7 | (i) The name and billing telephone number of | ||||||
8 | the account holder including the name of the | ||||||
9 | wireless telephone service provider that serves | ||||||
10 | the account. | ||||||
11 | (ii) Each telephone number that will be | ||||||
12 | transferred. | ||||||
13 | (iii) A statement that the provider transfers | ||||||
14 | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for | ||||||
15 | and right to the use of any telephone number | ||||||
16 | transferred under this paragraph. | ||||||
17 | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | ||||||
18 | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | ||||||
19 | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | ||||||
20 | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | ||||||
21 | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | ||||||
22 | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | ||||||
23 | following applies: | ||||||
24 | (i) The account holder named in the order has | ||||||
25 | terminated the account. | ||||||
26 | (ii) A difference in network technology would |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | ||||||
2 | a network if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
3 | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | ||||||
4 | other limitation on network or service provision | ||||||
5 | to the petitioner. | ||||||
6 | (iv) Another technological or operational | ||||||
7 | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | ||||||
8 | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
9 | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | ||||||
10 | responsibility for and right to the use of any | ||||||
11 | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | ||||||
12 | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | ||||||
13 | monthly service costs and costs associated with any | ||||||
14 | mobile device associated with the number. | ||||||
15 | (D) A wireless telephone service provider may | ||||||
16 | apply to the petitioner its routine and customary | ||||||
17 | requirements for establishing an account or | ||||||
18 | transferring a number, including requiring the | ||||||
19 | petitioner to provide proof of identification, | ||||||
20 | financial information, and customer preferences.
| ||||||
21 | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | ||||||
22 | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | ||||||
23 | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance | ||||||
24 | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | ||||||
25 | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | ||||||
26 | services to residential customers shall provide to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an | ||||||
2 | agent for service of orders entered under this | ||||||
3 | paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered | ||||||
4 | agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce | ||||||
5 | Commission within 30 days of such change. | ||||||
6 | (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall | ||||||
7 | maintain the list of registered agents for service for | ||||||
8 | each wireless telephone service provider on the | ||||||
9 | Commission's website. The Commission may consult with | ||||||
10 | wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit | ||||||
11 | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is | ||||||
12 | provided and displayed. | ||||||
13 | (c) Relevant factors; findings.
| ||||||
14 | (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy, | ||||||
15 | other than payment of support, the
court shall consider | ||||||
16 | relevant factors, including , but not limited to , the
| ||||||
17 | following:
| ||||||
18 | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern , and | ||||||
19 | consequences of the
respondent's past abuse of the | ||||||
20 | petitioner or any family or household
member, | ||||||
21 | including the concealment of his or her location in | ||||||
22 | order to evade
service of process or notice, and the | ||||||
23 | likelihood of danger of future abuse to
petitioner or
| ||||||
24 | any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or | ||||||
25 | household; and
| ||||||
26 | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or neglected or
improperly relocated removed from the | ||||||
2 | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or | ||||||
3 | improperly separated from the child's primary | ||||||
4 | caretaker.
| ||||||
5 | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | ||||||
6 | parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the | ||||||
7 | court shall consider relevant
factors, including , but not | ||||||
8 | limited to , the following:
| ||||||
9 | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | ||||||
10 | adequacy, location and other
characteristics of | ||||||
11 | alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
| ||||||
12 | dependent adult in the party's care;
| ||||||
13 | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
| ||||||
14 | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, | ||||||
15 | and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's | ||||||
16 | care, to family, school, church ,
and community.
| ||||||
17 | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | ||||||
18 | (4) of this
subsection (c) , the court shall make its | ||||||
19 | findings in an official record or in
writing, and shall at | ||||||
20 | a minimum set forth the following:
| ||||||
21 | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | ||||||
22 | relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of | ||||||
23 | this subsection (c) .
| ||||||
24 | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | ||||||
25 | unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | ||||||
26 | or continued abuse.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | ||||||
2 | requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or | ||||||
3 | other alleged abused persons.
| ||||||
4 | (4) (Blank).
| ||||||
5 | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | ||||||
6 | responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage | ||||||
7 | attach to a putative father until a father and
child | ||||||
8 | relationship has been established under the Illinois | ||||||
9 | Parentage Act of
1984 , or under the Illinois Parentage Act | ||||||
10 | of 2015 , the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the | ||||||
11 | Vital Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the | ||||||
12 | Probate Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support | ||||||
13 | Act, the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, | ||||||
14 | administrative, or other act of another state or territory, | ||||||
15 | any other statute of this State, or by any foreign nation | ||||||
16 | establishing the father and child relationship, any other | ||||||
17 | proceeding substantially in conformity with the federal | ||||||
18 | Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity | ||||||
19 | Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared | ||||||
20 | in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging | ||||||
21 | under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a | ||||||
22 | father and child relationship on and after the effective | ||||||
23 | date of that Act . Absent such an adjudication, no putative | ||||||
24 | father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental | ||||||
25 | responsibilities, including parenting time custody of the | ||||||
26 | minor child, visitation with the minor child, or
physical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | care
and possession of the minor child, nor shall
an order | ||||||
2 | of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
| ||||||
3 | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that | ||||||
4 | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a | ||||||
5 | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
| ||||||
6 | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such | ||||||
7 | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall | ||||||
8 | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result | ||||||
9 | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the | ||||||
10 | hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. The findings | ||||||
11 | shall be an official record or in
writing.
| ||||||
12 | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | ||||||
13 | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:
| ||||||
14 | (1) respondent Respondent has cause for any use of | ||||||
15 | force, unless that cause
satisfies the standards for | ||||||
16 | justifiable use of force provided by Article
7 of the | ||||||
17 | Criminal Code of 2012;
| ||||||
18 | (2) respondent Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
| ||||||
19 | (3) petitioner Petitioner acted in self-defense or | ||||||
20 | defense of another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized | ||||||
21 | force, such force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the | ||||||
22 | Criminal Code of 2012;
| ||||||
23 | (4) petitioner Petitioner did not act in self-defense | ||||||
24 | or defense of another;
| ||||||
25 | (5) petitioner Petitioner left the residence or | ||||||
26 | household to avoid further abuse
by respondent;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (6) petitioner Petitioner did not leave the residence | ||||||
2 | or household to avoid further
abuse by respondent; or
| ||||||
3 | (7) conduct Conduct by any family or household member | ||||||
4 | excused the abuse by
respondent, unless that same conduct | ||||||
5 | would have excused such abuse if the
parties had not been | ||||||
6 | family or household members.

12 | deciding what remedies should be included and enforcing the | ||||||
13 | order, Article

17 | (725 ILCS 5/112A-17.5 new) | ||||||
18 | Sec. 112A-17.5. Ex parte protective orders. | ||||||
19 | (a) The petitioner may request expedited consideration of | ||||||
20 | the petition for an ex parte protective order. The court shall | ||||||
21 | consider the request on an expedited basis without requiring | ||||||
22 | the respondent's presence or requiring notice to the | ||||||
23 | respondent. | ||||||
24 | (b) Issuance of ex parte protective orders in cases |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | involving domestic violence. An ex parte domestic violence | ||||||
2 | order of protection shall be issued if petitioner satisfies the | ||||||
3 | requirements of this subsection (b) for one or more of the | ||||||
4 | requested remedies. For each remedy requested, petitioner | ||||||
5 | shall establish that: | ||||||
6 | (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of | ||||||
7 | this Code; | ||||||
8 | (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section | ||||||
9 | 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and | ||||||
10 | (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless | ||||||
11 | of prior service of process or notice upon the respondent, | ||||||
12 | because: | ||||||
13 | (A) for the remedy of prohibition of abuse | ||||||
14 | described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
15 | 112A-14 of this Code; stay away order and additional | ||||||
16 | prohibitions described in paragraph (3) of subsection | ||||||
17 | (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; removal or | ||||||
18 | concealment of minor child described in paragraph (8) | ||||||
19 | of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; | ||||||
20 | order to appear described in paragraph (9) of | ||||||
21 | subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; | ||||||
22 | physical care and possession of the minor child | ||||||

24 | 112A-14 of this Code; protection of property described | ||||||
25 | in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 | ||||||
26 | of this Code; prohibition of entry described in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph (14) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of | ||||||
2 | this Code; prohibition of firearm possession described | ||||||
3 | in paragraph (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
4 | 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of access to records | ||||||
5 | described in paragraph (15) of subsection (b) of | ||||||
6 | Section 112A-14 of this Code; injunctive relief | ||||||
7 | described in paragraph (16) of subsection (b) of | ||||||
8 | Section 112A-14 of this Code; and telephone services | ||||||
9 | described in paragraph (18) of subsection (b) of | ||||||
10 | Section 112A-14 of this Code, the harm which that | ||||||
11 | remedy is intended to prevent would be likely to occur | ||||||
12 | if the respondent were given any prior notice, or | ||||||
13 | greater notice than was actually given, of the | ||||||
14 | petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief; | ||||||
15 | (B) for the remedy of grant of exclusive possession | ||||||
16 | of residence described in paragraph (2) of subsection | ||||||
17 | (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; the immediate | ||||||
18 | danger of further abuse of the petitioner by the | ||||||
19 | respondent, if the petitioner chooses or had chosen to | ||||||
20 | remain in the residence or household while the | ||||||
21 | respondent was given any prior notice or greater notice | ||||||
22 | than was actually given of the petitioner's efforts to | ||||||
23 | obtain judicial relief outweighs the hardships to the | ||||||
24 | respondent of an emergency order granting the | ||||||
25 | petitioner exclusive possession of the residence or | ||||||
26 | household; and the remedy shall not be denied because |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the petitioner has or could obtain temporary shelter | ||||||
2 | elsewhere while prior notice is given to the | ||||||
3 | respondent, unless the hardship to the respondent from | ||||||
4 | exclusion from the home substantially outweigh the | ||||||
5 | hardship to the petitioner; or | ||||||
6 | (C) for the remedy of possession of personal | ||||||
7 | property described in paragraph (10) of subsection (b) | ||||||
8 | of Section 112A-14 of this Code; improper disposition | ||||||
9 | of the personal property would be likely to occur if | ||||||
10 | the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater | ||||||
11 | notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's | ||||||
12 | efforts to obtain judicial relief or the petitioner has | ||||||
13 | an immediate and pressing need for the possession of | ||||||
14 | that property. | ||||||
15 | An ex parte domestic violence order of protection may not | ||||||
16 | include the counseling, custody, or payment of support or | ||||||
17 | monetary compensation remedies provided by paragraphs (4), | ||||||
18 | (12), (13), and (16) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of | ||||||
19 | this Code. | ||||||
20 | (c) Issuance of ex parte civil no contact order in cases | ||||||
21 | involving sexual offenses. An ex parte civil no contact order | ||||||
22 | shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that: | ||||||
23 | (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of | ||||||
24 | this Code; | ||||||
25 | (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section | ||||||
26 | 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless | ||||||
2 | of prior service of process or of notice upon the | ||||||
3 | respondent, because the harm which that remedy is intended | ||||||
4 | to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were | ||||||
5 | given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually | ||||||
6 | given, of the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial | ||||||
7 | relief. | ||||||
8 | The court may order any of the remedies under Section | ||||||
9 | 112A-14.5 of this Code. | ||||||
10 | (d) Issuance of ex parte stalking no contact order in cases | ||||||
11 | involving stalking offenses. An ex parte stalking no contact | ||||||
12 | order shall be issued if the petitioner establishes that: | ||||||
13 | (1) the court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9 of | ||||||
14 | this Code; | ||||||
15 | (2) the requirements of subsection (a) of Section | ||||||
16 | 112A-11.5 of this Code are satisfied; and | ||||||
17 | (3) there is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless | ||||||
18 | of prior service of process or of notice upon the | ||||||
19 | respondent, because the harm which that remedy is intended | ||||||
20 | to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were | ||||||
21 | given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually | ||||||
22 | given, of the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial | ||||||
23 | relief. | ||||||
24 | The court may order any of the remedies under Section | ||||||
25 | 112A-14.7 of this Code. | ||||||
26 | (e) Issuance of ex parte protective orders on court |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | holidays and evenings. | ||||||
2 | When the court is unavailable at the close of business, the | ||||||
3 | petitioner may file a petition for an ex parte protective order | ||||||
4 | before any available circuit judge or associate judge who may | ||||||
5 | grant relief under this Article. If the judge finds that | ||||||
6 | petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites in subsection (b), | ||||||
7 | (c), or (d) of this Section, the judge shall issue an ex parte | ||||||
8 | protective order. | ||||||
9 | The chief judge of the circuit court may designate for each | ||||||
10 | county in the circuit at least one judge to be reasonably | ||||||
11 | available to issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or | ||||||
12 | otherwise, an ex parte protective order at all times, whether | ||||||
13 | or not the court is in session. | ||||||
14 | The judge who issued the order under this Section shall | ||||||
15 | promptly communicate or convey the order to the sheriff to | ||||||
16 | facilitate the entry of the order into the Law Enforcement | ||||||
17 | Agencies Data System by the Department of State Police under | ||||||
18 | Section 112A-28 of this Code. Any order issued under this | ||||||
19 | Section and any documentation in support of it shall be | ||||||
20 | certified on the next court day to the appropriate court. The | ||||||
21 | clerk of that court shall immediately assign a case number, | ||||||
22 | file the petition, order, and other documents with the court | ||||||
23 | and enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for | ||||||
24 | service under subsection (f) of this Section. Failure to comply | ||||||
25 | with the requirements of this subsection (e) shall not affect | ||||||
26 | the validity of the order. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) Service of ex parte protective order on respondent. | ||||||
2 | (1) If an ex parte protective order is entered at the | ||||||
3 | time a summons or arrest warrant is issued for the criminal | ||||||
4 | charge, the petition for the protective order, any | ||||||
5 | supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte protective | ||||||
6 | order that has been issued shall be served with the summons | ||||||
7 | or arrest warrant. The enforcement of a protective order | ||||||
8 | under Section 112A-23 of this Code shall not be affected by | ||||||
9 | the lack of service or delivery, provided the requirements | ||||||
10 | of subsection (a) of Section 112A-23 of this Code are | ||||||
11 | otherwise met. | ||||||
12 | (2) If an ex parte protective order is entered after a | ||||||
13 | summons or arrest warrant is issued and before the | ||||||
14 | respondent makes an initial appearance in the criminal | ||||||
15 | case, the summons shall be in the form prescribed by | ||||||
16 | subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101, except that it | ||||||
17 | shall require respondent to answer or appear within 7 days | ||||||
18 | and shall be accompanied by the petition for the protective | ||||||
19 | order, any supporting affidavits, if any, and the ex parte | ||||||
20 | protective order that has been issued. | ||||||
21 | (3) If an ex parte protective order is entered after | ||||||
22 | the respondent has been served notice of a petition for a | ||||||
23 | final protective order and the respondent has requested a | ||||||
24 | continuance to respond to the petition, the ex parte | ||||||
25 | protective order shall be served: (A) in open court if the | ||||||
26 | respondent is present at the proceeding at which the order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | was entered; or (B) by summons in the form prescribed by | ||||||
2 | subsection (d) of Supreme Court Rule 101. | ||||||
3 | (4) No fee shall be charged for service of summons. | ||||||
4 | (5) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or other | ||||||
5 | law enforcement officer at the earliest time and shall take | ||||||
6 | precedence over other summonses except those of a similar | ||||||
7 | emergency nature. Special process servers may be appointed | ||||||
8 | at any time, and their designation shall not affect the | ||||||
9 | responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other | ||||||
10 | official process servers. In a county with a population | ||||||
11 | over 3,000,000, a special process server may not be | ||||||
12 | appointed if an ex parte protective order grants the | ||||||
13 | surrender of a child, the surrender of a firearm or Firearm | ||||||
14 | Owner's Identification Card, or the exclusive possession | ||||||
15 | of a shared residence. Process may be served in court. | ||||||
16 | (g) Upon 7 days' notice to the petitioner, or a shorter | ||||||
17 | notice period as the court may prescribe, a respondent subject | ||||||
18 | to an ex parte protective order may appear and petition the | ||||||
19 | court to re-hear the petition. Any petition to re-hear shall be | ||||||
20 | verified and shall allege the following: | ||||||
21 | (1) that respondent did not receive prior notice of the | ||||||
22 | initial hearing in which the ex parte protective order was | ||||||
23 | entered under Section 112A-17.5 of this Code; and | ||||||
24 | (2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the | ||||||
25 | order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of | ||||||
26 | its remedies was not authorized under this Article. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the | ||||||
2 | evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at a | ||||||
3 | hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at the | ||||||
4 | hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense by a | ||||||
5 | preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to vacate | ||||||
6 | the protective order or modify the remedies. | ||||||
7 | (h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner | ||||||
8 | exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of | ||||||
9 | respondent seeks to re-open or vacate that grant, the court | ||||||
10 | shall set a date for hearing within 14 days on all issues | ||||||
11 | relating to exclusive possession. Under no circumstances shall | ||||||
12 | a court continue a hearing concerning exclusive possession | ||||||
13 | beyond the 14th day except by agreement of the petitioner and | ||||||
14 | the respondent. Other issues raised by the pleadings may be | ||||||
15 | consolidated for the hearing if the petitioner, the respondent, | ||||||
16 | and the court do not object. | ||||||
17 | (i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte | ||||||
18 | order shall remain in effect until the court considers the | ||||||
19 | request for a final protective order after notice has been | ||||||
20 | served on the respondent or a default final protective order is | ||||||
21 | entered, whichever occurs first. If a court date is scheduled | ||||||
22 | for the issuance of a default protective order and the | ||||||
23 | petitioner fails to personally appear or appear through counsel | ||||||
24 | or the prosecuting attorney, the petition shall be dismissed | ||||||
25 | and the ex parte order terminated.

3 | orders.
| ||||||
4 | (a) (Blank).
| ||||||
5 | (b) A final protective order shall remain in effect as | ||||||
6 | follows:
| ||||||
7 | (1) if entered during pre-trial release, until | ||||||
8 | disposition, withdrawal,
or dismissal of the underlying | ||||||
9 | charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
| ||||||
10 | independent cause of action, the order's duration may be | ||||||
11 | for a fixed period
of time not to exceed 2 years;
| ||||||
12 | (2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture | ||||||
13 | warrant, until
final disposition or an additional period
of | ||||||
14 | time not
exceeding 2 years; no domestic violence order of
| ||||||
15 | protection, however, shall be terminated by a dismissal | ||||||
16 | that is accompanied
by the issuance of a bond forfeiture | ||||||
17 | warrant;
| ||||||
18 | (3) until 2 years after the expiration of any | ||||||
19 | supervision, conditional discharge,
probation, periodic | ||||||
20 | imprisonment, parole, aftercare release, or mandatory | ||||||
21 | supervised release for domestic violence orders of | ||||||
22 | protection and civil no contact orders; or
| ||||||
23 | (4) until 2 years after the date set by the court for | ||||||
24 | expiration of any sentence of
imprisonment and subsequent | ||||||
25 | parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release
| ||||||
26 | for domestic violence orders of protection and civil no |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contact orders; and
| ||||||
2 | (5) permanent for a stalking no contact order if a | ||||||
3 | judgment of conviction for stalking is entered. | ||||||
4 | (c) Computation of time. The duration of a domestic | ||||||
5 | violence an order of protection shall
not be reduced by the | ||||||
6 | duration of any prior domestic violence order of protection.
| ||||||
7 | (d) Law enforcement records. When a protective order | ||||||
8 | expires
upon the occurrence of a specified event, rather than | ||||||
9 | upon a specified date
as provided in subsection (b), no | ||||||
10 | expiration date shall be entered in
Department of State Police | ||||||
11 | records. To remove the protective order from
those records, | ||||||
12 | either the petitioner or the respondent shall request the clerk | ||||||
13 | of the court to file a
certified copy of an order stating that | ||||||
14 | the specified event has occurred or
that the protective order | ||||||
15 | has been vacated or modified with the sheriff, and the
sheriff | ||||||
16 | shall direct that law enforcement records shall be promptly
| ||||||
17 | corrected in accordance with the filed order.
| ||||||
18 | (e) Extension of Orders. Any domestic violence order of
| ||||||
19 | protection or civil no contact order that expires 2 years after | ||||||
20 | the expiration of the defendant's sentence under paragraph (2), | ||||||
21 | (3), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-20 of this | ||||||
22 | Article may be extended one or more times, as required. The | ||||||
23 | petitioner , petitioner's counsel, or the State's Attorney on | ||||||
24 | the petitioner's behalf shall file the motion for an extension | ||||||
25 | of the final protective order in the criminal case and serve | ||||||
26 | the motion in accordance with Supreme Court Rules 11 and 12. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The court shall transfer the motion to the appropriate court or | ||||||
2 | division for consideration under subsection (e) of Section 220 | ||||||
3 | of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 , or subsection | ||||||
4 | (c) of Section 216 of the Civil No Contact Order Act, or | ||||||
5 | subsection (c) of Section 105 of the Stalking No Contact Order | ||||||
6 | as appropriate.
| ||||||
7 | (f) Termination date. Any final protective order of | ||||||
8 | protection which would expire on a
court holiday shall instead | ||||||
9 | expire at the close of the next court business day.
| ||||||
10 | (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or | ||||||
11 | suspending a
criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing a | ||||||
12 | protective an order of protection
undermines the purposes of | ||||||
13 | this Article. This Section shall not be
construed as | ||||||
14 | encouraging that practice.

22 | certified copy of the order with the sheriff or other law | ||||||

1 | (c-2) Service by sheriff. Unless respondent was present in | ||||||
2 | court when the order was issued, the sheriff, other law | ||||||
3 | enforcement official, or special process server shall promptly | ||||||
4 | serve that order upon respondent and file proof of the service, | ||||||
5 | in the manner provided for service of process in civil | ||||||
6 | proceedings. Instead of serving the order upon the respondent; | ||||||
7 | however, the sheriff, other law enforcement official, special | ||||||
8 | process server, or other persons defined in Section 112A-22.1 | ||||||
9 | of this Code may serve the respondent with a short form | ||||||

24 | petition for protective order or receipt of the order issued | ||||||
25 | under Section 112A-17 of this Code. | ||||||

10 | practitioner requested by the petitioner at the mailing address | ||||||
11 | provided by the petitioner. | ||||||
12 | (f) Disclosure by health care facilities and health care | ||||||
13 | practitioners. After receiving a certified copy of a protective | ||||||
14 | order that prohibits a respondent's access to records, no | ||||||
15 | health care facility or health care practitioner shall allow a | ||||||
16 | respondent access to the records of any child who is a | ||||||
17 | protected person under the protective order, or release | ||||||
18 | information in those records to the respondent, unless the | ||||||
19 | order has expired or the respondent shows a certified copy of | ||||||
20 | the court order vacating the corresponding protective order | ||||||
21 | that was sent to the health care facility or practitioner. | ||||||
22 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require health
| ||||||
23 | care facilities or health care practitioners to alter | ||||||
24 | procedures related to billing and payment. The health care | ||||||
25 | facility or health care practitioner may file the copy of the | ||||||
26 | protective order in the records of a child who is a protected |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person under the protective order, or may employ any other | ||||||
2 | method to identify the records to which a respondent is | ||||||
3 | prohibited access. No health care facility or health care | ||||||
4 | practitioner shall be civilly or professionally liable for
| ||||||
5 | reliance on a copy of a protective order, except for willful | ||||||
6 | and wanton misconduct. | ||||||
7 | (g) Notice to schools. Upon the request of the petitioner, | ||||||

is a protected person under the protective | ||||||
14 | order or any child
of
the
petitioner is enrolled as requested | ||||||
15 | by the petitioner at the mailing address provided by the | ||||||
16 | petitioner.
If the child transfers enrollment to another | ||||||

pre-kindergarten,
private | ||||||
18 | school, public school, college, or university, the petitioner | ||||||
19 | may,
within 24 hours
of the transfer, send to the clerk written | ||||||
20 | notice of the transfer, including
the name and
address of the | ||||||
21 | institution to which the child is transferring.
Within 24 hours | ||||||
22 | of receipt of notice
from the petitioner that a child is | ||||||
23 | transferring to another day-care facility,
pre-school, | ||||||
24 | pre-kindergarten, private school, public school, college, or
| ||||||
25 | university, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the order | ||||||
26 | to the institution to which the child

3 | records, neither a
day-care facility, pre-school, | ||||||
4 | pre-kindergarten, public
or private school, college, or | ||||||
5 | university nor its employees shall allow a
respondent access to | ||||||
6 | a
protected child's records or release information in those | ||||||
7 | records to the
respondent. The school shall file
the copy of | ||||||
8 | the protective order in the records of a child who
is a | ||||||
9 | protected person under the order. When a child who is a
| ||||||
10 | protected person under the protective order transfers to | ||||||
11 | another day-care
facility, pre-school, pre-kindergarten, | ||||||
12 | public or private school, college, or
university, the | ||||||
13 | institution from which the child is transferring may, at the
| ||||||
14 | request of the petitioner, provide,
within 24 hours of the | ||||||
15 | transfer, written notice of the protective order,
along with a | ||||||
16 | certified copy of the order, to the institution to which the | ||||||
17 | child
is
transferring. | ||||||

1 | entered under Section
112A-15 of this Code .
| ||||||
2 | (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
3 | criminal proceeding.
| ||||||
4 | (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
5 | not a

9 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
| ||||||
10 | subsection (g) , where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||

26 | protective order or penal statute
involving petitioner |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as victim and respondent as defendant;
| ||||||
2 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
3 | imprisonment for respondent's
first violation of any | ||||||

| ||||||
5 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
6 | imprisonment for
respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
7 | violation of a protective order | ||||||
8 | unless the court explicitly finds that an increased penalty | ||||||

10 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
11 | violation of a protective order, a criminal court may | ||||||
12 | consider evidence of any
violations of a protective order:
