10Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,

14preside over the trial of the person or persons charged with
15any of the offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of
16subsection (a) of this Section shall first determine whether
17there is probable cause to believe that the person or persons
18so charged have committed a violation of any of the offenses
19listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this
20Section and whether the property or property interest is
21subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act.

HB3655 Engrossed- 6 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1(4) of subsection (a) of this Section and (ii) probable cause
2that any property or property interest may be subject to
3forfeiture pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may be conducted
4simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the prosecution
5is commenced by information or complaint, or by motion of the
6People, at any stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a
7finding of probable cause at a preliminary hearing following
8the filing of a charge for violating one of the offenses listed
9in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this Section or
10the return of an indictment by a grand jury charging one of the
11offenses listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a)
12of this Section as sufficient evidence of probable cause as
13provided in item (i) above.
14    Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
15restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
16such other action in connection with any such property or
17property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
18necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
19jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
20disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
21prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
22Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
23certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
24prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
25of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
26located. No such injunction, restraining order or other

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 7 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide
2purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder
3arising prior to the date of such filing.
4    The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
5defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
6such property or interest which the court previously
7determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any
8restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other action.
9The court may release such property to the defendant for good
10cause shown and within the sound discretion of the court.
11    (d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
12Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
13    (e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
14subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
15Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
16declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
17conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
18property interest that has been the subject of an entered
19restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
20action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless
21the claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that
22the property or property interest has not been acquired or
23maintained as a result of a violation of any of the offenses
24listed in clauses (1) through (4) of subsection (a) of this
25Section or has not been used to facilitate a violation of any

16that is consistent with the requirements of due process,
17whether the designation comports with the requirements of this
18Section.
19    (c) For the purposes of this Section, a person has

6    (d) The Governor must exercise the authority afforded
7under this Section within 365 calendar days after April 5,
82013 (the effective date of Public Act 97-1172). Any
9designation made by the Governor under this Section shall be
10presumed to have been properly made.
11    If the Governor chooses not to designate a position under
12this Section, then that decision does not preclude a State
13agency from otherwise challenging the certification of that
14position under this Act.
15    The qualifying categories set forth in paragraphs (1)
16through (5) of subsection (b) of this Section are operative
17and function solely within this Section and do not expand or

HB3655 Engrossed- 40 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    (a) Whenever in accordance with such regulations as may be
2prescribed by the Board a petition has been filed:
3        (1) by a public employee or group of public employees
4    or any labor organization acting in their behalf
5    demonstrating that 30% of the public employees in an
6    appropriate unit (A) wish to be represented for the
7    purposes of collective bargaining by a labor organization
8    as exclusive representative, or (B) asserting that the
9    labor organization which has been certified or is
10    currently recognized by the public employer as bargaining
11    representative is no longer the representative of the
12    majority of public employees in the unit; or
13        (2) by a public employer alleging that one or more
14    labor organizations have presented to it a claim that they
15    be recognized as the representative of a majority of the
16    public employees in an appropriate unit,
17the Board shall investigate such petition, and if it has
18reasonable cause to believe that a question of representation
19exists, shall provide for an appropriate hearing upon due
20notice. Such hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
21or such other location as the Board deems appropriate. If it
22finds upon the record of the hearing that a question of
23representation exists, it shall direct an election in
24accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, which election
25shall be held not later than 120 days after the date the
26petition was filed regardless of whether that petition was

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 41 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1filed before or after the effective date of this amendatory
2Act of 1987; provided, however, the Board may extend the time
3for holding an election by an additional 60 days if, upon
4motion by a person who has filed a petition under this Section
5or is the subject of a petition filed under this Section and is
6a party to such hearing, or upon the Board's own motion, the
7Board finds that good cause has been shown for extending the
8election date; provided further, that nothing in this Section
9shall prohibit the Board, in its discretion, from extending
10the time for holding an election for so long as may be
11necessary under the circumstances, where the purpose for such
12extension is to permit resolution by the Board of an unfair
13labor practice charge filed by one of the parties to a
14representational proceeding against the other based upon
15conduct which may either affect the existence of a question
16concerning representation or have a tendency to interfere with
17a fair and free election, where the party filing the charge has
18not filed a request to proceed with the election; and provided
19further that prior to the expiration of the total time
20allotted for holding an election, a person who has filed a
21petition under this Section or is the subject of a petition
22filed under this Section and is a party to such hearing or the
23Board, may move for and obtain the entry of an order in the
24circuit court of the county in which the majority of the public
25employees sought to be represented by such person reside, such
26order extending the date upon which the election shall be

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 42 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1held. Such order shall be issued by the circuit court only upon
2a judicial finding that there has been a sufficient showing
3that there is good cause to extend the election date beyond
4such period and shall require the Board to hold the election as
5soon as is feasible given the totality of the circumstances.
6Such 120 day period may be extended one or more times by the
7agreement of all parties to the hearing to a date certain
8without the necessity of obtaining a court order. Nothing in
9this Section prohibits the waiving of hearings by stipulation
10for the purpose of a consent election in conformity with the
11rules and regulations of the Board or an election in a unit
12agreed upon by the parties. Other interested employee
13organizations may intervene in the proceedings in the manner
14and within the time period specified by rules and regulations
15of the Board. Interested parties who are necessary to the
16proceedings may also intervene in the proceedings in the
17manner and within the time period specified by the rules and
18regulations of the Board.
19    (a-5) The Board shall designate an exclusive
20representative for purposes of collective bargaining when the
21representative demonstrates a showing of majority interest by
22employees in the unit. If the parties to a dispute are without
23agreement on the means to ascertain the choice, if any, of
24employee organization as their representative, the Board shall
25ascertain the employees' choice of employee organization, on
26the basis of dues deduction authorization or other evidence,

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 43 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1or, if necessary, by conducting an election. All evidence
2submitted by an employee organization to the Board to
3ascertain an employee's choice of an employee organization is
4confidential and shall not be submitted to the employer for
5review. The Board shall ascertain the employee's choice of
6employee organization within 120 days after the filing of the
7majority interest petition; however, the Board may extend time
8by an additional 60 days, upon its own motion or upon the
9motion of a party to the proceeding. If either party provides
10to the Board, before the designation of a representative,
11clear and convincing evidence that the dues deduction
12authorizations, and other evidence upon which the Board would
13otherwise rely to ascertain the employees' choice of
14representative, are fraudulent or were obtained through
15coercion, the Board shall promptly thereafter conduct an
16election. The Board shall also investigate and consider a
17party's allegations that the dues deduction authorizations and
18other evidence submitted in support of a designation of
19representative without an election were subsequently changed,
20altered, withdrawn, or withheld as a result of employer fraud,
21coercion, or any other unfair labor practice by the employer.
22If the Board determines that a labor organization would have
23had a majority interest but for an employer's fraud, coercion,
24or unfair labor practice, it shall designate the labor
25organization as an exclusive representative without conducting
26an election. If a hearing is necessary to resolve any issues of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 44 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1representation under this Section, the Board shall conclude
2its hearing process and issue a certification of the entire
3appropriate unit not later than 120 days after the date the
4petition was filed. The 120-day period may be extended one or
5more times by the agreement of all parties to a hearing to a
6date certain.
7    (a-6) A labor organization or an employer may file a unit
8clarification petition seeking to clarify an existing
9bargaining unit. The Board shall conclude its investigation,
10including any hearing process deemed necessary, and issue a
11certification of clarified unit or dismiss the petition not
12later than 120 days after the date the petition was filed. The
13120-day period may be extended one or more times by the
14agreement of all parties to a hearing to a date certain.
15    (b) The Board shall decide in each case, in order to assure
16public employees the fullest freedom in exercising the rights
17guaranteed by this Act, a unit appropriate for the purpose of
18collective bargaining, based upon but not limited to such
19factors as: historical pattern of recognition; community of
20interest including employee skills and functions; degree of
21functional integration; interchangeability and contact among
22employees; fragmentation of employee groups; common
23supervision, wages, hours and other working conditions of the
24employees involved; and the desires of the employees. For
25purposes of this subsection, fragmentation shall not be the
26sole or predominant factor used by the Board in determining an

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 45 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1appropriate bargaining unit. Except with respect to non-State
2fire fighters and paramedics employed by fire departments and
3fire protection districts, non-State peace officers and peace
4officers in the Illinois State Department of State Police, a
5single bargaining unit determined by the Board may not include
6both supervisors and nonsupervisors, except for bargaining
7units in existence on the effective date of this Act. With
8respect to non-State fire fighters and paramedics employed by
9fire departments and fire protection districts, non-State
10peace officers and peace officers in the Illinois State
11Department of State Police, a single bargaining unit
12determined by the Board may not include both supervisors and
13nonsupervisors, except for bargaining units in existence on
14the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985.
15    In cases involving an historical pattern of recognition,
16and in cases where the employer has recognized the union as the
17sole and exclusive bargaining agent for a specified existing
18unit, the Board shall find the employees in the unit then
19represented by the union pursuant to the recognition to be the
20appropriate unit.
21    Notwithstanding the above factors, where the majority of
22public employees of a craft so decide, the Board shall
23designate such craft as a unit appropriate for the purposes of
24collective bargaining.
25    The Board shall not decide that any unit is appropriate if
26such unit includes both professional and nonprofessional

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 46 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1employees, unless a majority of each group votes for inclusion
2in such unit.
3    (c) Nothing in this Act shall interfere with or negate the
4current representation rights or patterns and practices of
5labor organizations which have historically represented public
6employees for the purpose of collective bargaining, including
7but not limited to the negotiations of wages, hours and
8working conditions, discussions of employees' grievances,
9resolution of jurisdictional disputes, or the establishment
10and maintenance of prevailing wage rates, unless a majority of
11employees so represented express a contrary desire pursuant to
12the procedures set forth in this Act.
13    (d) In instances where the employer does not voluntarily
14recognize a labor organization as the exclusive bargaining
15representative for a unit of employees, the Board shall
16determine the majority representative of the public employees
17in an appropriate collective bargaining unit by conducting a
18secret ballot election, except as otherwise provided in
19subsection (a-5). Within 7 days after the Board issues its
20bargaining unit determination and direction of election or the
21execution of a stipulation for the purpose of a consent
22election, the public employer shall submit to the labor
23organization the complete names and addresses of those
24employees who are determined by the Board to be eligible to
25participate in the election. When the Board has determined
26that a labor organization has been fairly and freely chosen by

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 47 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1a majority of employees in an appropriate unit, it shall
2certify such organization as the exclusive representative. If
3the Board determines that a majority of employees in an
4appropriate unit has fairly and freely chosen not to be
5represented by a labor organization, it shall so certify. The
6Board may also revoke the certification of the public employee
7organizations as exclusive bargaining representatives which
8have been found by a secret ballot election to be no longer the
9majority representative.
10    (e) The Board shall not conduct an election in any
11bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof within which a
12valid election has been held in the preceding 12-month period.
13The Board shall determine who is eligible to vote in an
14election and shall establish rules governing the conduct of
15the election or conduct affecting the results of the election.
16The Board shall include on a ballot in a representation
17election a choice of "no representation". A labor organization
18currently representing the bargaining unit of employees shall
19be placed on the ballot in any representation election. In any
20election where none of the choices on the ballot receives a
21majority, a runoff election shall be conducted between the 2
22choices receiving the largest number of valid votes cast in
23the election. A labor organization which receives a majority
24of the votes cast in an election shall be certified by the
25Board as exclusive representative of all public employees in
26the unit.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 48 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    (f) A labor organization shall be designated as the
2exclusive representative by a public employer, provided that
3the labor organization represents a majority of the public
4employees in an appropriate unit. Any employee organization
5which is designated or selected by the majority of public
6employees, in a unit of the public employer having no other
7recognized or certified representative, as their
8representative for purposes of collective bargaining may
9request recognition by the public employer in writing. The
10public employer shall post such request for a period of at
11least 20 days following its receipt thereof on bulletin boards
12or other places used or reserved for employee notices.
13    (g) Within the 20-day period any other interested employee
14organization may petition the Board in the manner specified by
15rules and regulations of the Board, provided that such
16interested employee organization has been designated by at
17least 10% of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit
18which includes all or some of the employees in the unit
19recognized by the employer. In such event, the Board shall
20proceed with the petition in the same manner as provided by
21paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this Section.
22    (h) No election shall be directed by the Board in any
23bargaining unit where there is in force a valid collective
24bargaining agreement. The Board, however, may process an
25election petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the
26expiration of the date of an agreement, and may further

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 49 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1refine, by rule or decision, the implementation of this
2provision. Where more than 4 years have elapsed since the
3effective date of the agreement, the agreement shall continue
4to bar an election, except that the Board may process an
5election petition filed between 90 and 60 days prior to the end
6of the fifth year of such an agreement, and between 90 and 60
7days prior to the end of each successive year of such
8agreement.
9    (i) An order of the Board dismissing a representation
10petition, determining and certifying that a labor organization
11has been fairly and freely chosen by a majority of employees in
12an appropriate bargaining unit, determining and certifying
13that a labor organization has not been fairly and freely
14chosen by a majority of employees in the bargaining unit or
15certifying a labor organization as the exclusive
16representative of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit
17because of a determination by the Board that the labor
18organization is the historical bargaining representative of
19employees in the bargaining unit, is a final order. Any person
20aggrieved by any such order issued on or after the effective
21date of this amendatory Act of 1987 may apply for and obtain
22judicial review in accordance with provisions of the
23Administrative Review Law, as now or hereafter amended, except
24that such review shall be afforded directly in the Appellate
25Court for the district in which the aggrieved party resides or
26transacts business. Any direct appeal to the Appellate Court

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 50 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1shall be filed within 35 days from the date that a copy of the
2decision sought to be reviewed was served upon the party
3affected by the decision.

2subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
3that reunification services may be offered as provided in
4paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
5Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
6private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
7or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
8subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
9of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
10facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
11hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act

21report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
22prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of

2such child or family to services available from other agencies
3in the community, even if the report is determined to be
4unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
5are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
6reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
7such services shall be voluntary. The Department may also
8provide services to any child or family after completion of a
9family assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as
10provided under the "differential response program" provided
11for in subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and
12Neglected Child Reporting Act.
13    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
14children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
15care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
16as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
17requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
18Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
19be committed to the Department by any court without the
20approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
21effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,

3exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
4minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
5to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
62-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
72017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
8Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
9adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of

15minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
16to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
172-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
18exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
19or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
20circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
21delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
22attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
23the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
24hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare

4experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and
5stress of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a
6pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines
7that those services are necessary to ensure the health and
8safety of the child. The Department may offer services to any
9family whether or not a report has been filed under the Abused
10and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer
11the child or family to services available from other agencies
12in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
13home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
14future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
15of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
16develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
17health and social service providers and the general public
18about these special family preservation services. The nature
19and scope of the services offered and the number of families
20served under the special program implemented under this
21paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
22Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
23"pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
24a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
25Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent

1Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
2    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests
3of the child require that the child be placed in the most
4permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
5possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
6Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
7concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
8earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
9include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
10the family when the child can be cared for at home without
11endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
12the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
13is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
14permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
15    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
16respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
17making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
18shall be the paramount concern.
19    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
20shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
21prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
22child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
23reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
24occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
25Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
26where the Department believes that further reunification

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 147 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
2the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.
3The Department is not required to provide further
4reunification services after such a finding.
5    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
6made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
7best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
8also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
9placement made is the best available placement to provide
10permanency for the child.
11    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
12planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
13shall consider the following factors when determining
14appropriateness of concurrent planning:
15        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
16        (2) the past history of the family;
17        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
18    the family;
19        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
20        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
21    family to reunite;
22        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
23    to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
24        (7) the age of the child;
25        (8) placement of siblings.
26    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 148 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1child if:
2        (1) it has received a written consent to such
3    temporary custody signed by the parents of the child or by
4    the parent having custody of the child if the parents are
5    not living together or by the guardian or custodian of the
6    child if the child is not in the custody of either parent,
7    or
8        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
9    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be
10    located.
11If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
12guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
13may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
14custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
15in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
16custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
17apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
18resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
19enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
20health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
21parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
22such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
23resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
24home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
25follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
265-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 149 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
2and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
3pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile
4Court Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary
5custody pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
6Neglected Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and
7acceptance under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in
8limited custody, the Department, during the period of
9temporary custody and before the child is brought before a
10judicial officer as required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
115-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, shall have the
12authority, responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian
13of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
14the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
15    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
16custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
17examination.
18    A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
19temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
20the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
21Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
22the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
23The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for
2410 days after the receipt of the request, during which period
25the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
26Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 150 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
2the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
3the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
4custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
5later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
6the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
7temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
8    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
9age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
10that cares for children who are in need of secure living
11arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
12determination is made by the facility director and the
13Director or the Director's designate prior to admission to the
14facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
15of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
16subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
17pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
18unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
19of the Department before being subject to placement in a
20correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction
21has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
22    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
23age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
24the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
25preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
26child's health and safety or are unavailable and such

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 151 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1placement would be for their best interest. Payment for board,
2clothing, care, training and supervision of any child placed
3in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
4Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of
5those children, or by both the Department and the parents or
6guardians, except that no payments shall be made by the
7Department for any child placed in a licensed child care
8facility for board, clothing, care, training and supervision
9of such a child that exceed the average per capita cost of
10maintaining and of caring for a child in institutions for
11dependent or neglected children operated by the Department.
12However, such restriction on payments does not apply in cases
13where children require specialized care and treatment for
14problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
15social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
16facilities for the placement of such children are not
17available at payment rates within the limitations set forth in
18this Section. All reimbursements for services delivered shall
19be absolutely inalienable by assignment, sale, attachment, or
20garnishment or otherwise.
21    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
22welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
23sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
24minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
25subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
261987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 152 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
2yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
3responsibility for the development and delivery of services
4under this Section. An eligible youth may access services
5under this Section through the Department of Children and
6Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
7Services. Youth participating in services under this Section
8shall cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing
9an agreement identifying the services to be provided and how
10the youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
11homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
12youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
13Department shall continue child welfare services under this
14Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
15of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
16self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
17The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
18clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to
19child welfare services under this Section and how such
20services may be obtained. The Department of Children and
21Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall
22disseminate this information statewide. The Department shall
23adopt regulations describing services intended to assist
24minors in achieving sustainable self-sufficiency as
25independent adults.
26    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 153 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1review and appeal process for children and families who
2request or receive child welfare services from the Department.
3Youth in care who are placed by private child welfare
4agencies, and foster families with whom those youth are
5placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
6rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
7Department, including the right to an initial review of a
8private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall
9ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
10youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
11and foster families. The Department shall accept for
12administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
13by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
14following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
15or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
16of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
17concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
18conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a
19current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate
20under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not
21constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an
22administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
23involving a change of placement decision.
24    (p) (Blank).
25    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
26for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 154 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1money or other property which is received on behalf of such
2children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
3or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
4the Department.
5    The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
6interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
7institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
8responsible and who have been determined eligible for
9Veterans' Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance
10allotments from the armed forces, court ordered payments,
11parental voluntary payments, Supplemental Security Income,
12Railroad Retirement payments, Black Lung benefits, or other
13miscellaneous payments. Interest earned by each account shall
14be credited to the account, unless disbursed in accordance
15with this subsection.
16    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
17Department shall:
18        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
19    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
20    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
21    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
22    approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
23    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
24    records of all disbursements for each account for any
25    purpose.
26        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 155 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
2    not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
3    utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
4    regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
5    disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
6    $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
7    General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
8    $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
9        (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
10    for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
11    The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
12    State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
13    or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
14    (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
15encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to
16the Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons
17who have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
18hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names
19of such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list
20of such names and addresses shall be maintained by the
21Department or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
22confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
23of the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
24adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
25such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
26agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 156 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
2confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and
3of the child.
4    (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
5establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
6private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
7Department of Children and Family Services for damages
8sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
9negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
10party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
11of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be
12secondary to the foster parent liability insurance policy, if
13applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
14from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for
15such purposes.
16    (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
17investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
18as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
19Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
20        (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
21    directs the Department to perform such services; and
22        (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
23    the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
24    reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
25    with Department rules, or has determined that neither
26    party is financially able to pay.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 157 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    The Department shall provide written notification to the
2court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
3and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
4The Department shall send to the court information related to
5the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
6determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The
7court may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
8    (u) In addition to other information that must be
9provided, whenever the Department places a child with a
10prospective adoptive parent or parents, or in a licensed
11foster home, group home, or child care institution, or in a
12relative home, the Department shall provide to the prospective
13adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker:
14        (1) available detailed information concerning the
15    child's educational and health history, copies of
16    immunization records (including insurance and medical card
17    information), a history of the child's previous
18    placements, if any, and reasons for placement changes
19    excluding any information that identifies or reveals the
20    location of any previous caretaker;
21        (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client
22    service plan, including any visitation arrangement, and
23    all amendments or revisions to it as related to the child;
24    and
25        (3) information containing details of the child's
26    individualized educational plan when the child is

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 158 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    receiving special education services.
2    The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or
3behavioral information (including, but not limited to,
4criminal background, fire setting, perpetuation of sexual
5abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to
6care for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently
7in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of
8the information required by this paragraph, which may be
9provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in
10advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive
11parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file
12in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency

11previously promulgated by the Department at 89 Ill. Adm. Code
12335 and had submitted an application for licensure as a foster
13family home may continue to receive foster care payments only
14until the Department determines that they may be licensed as a

12access and dissemination of this information.
13    (v-1) Prior to final approval for placement of a child,
14the Department shall conduct a criminal records background
15check of the prospective foster or adoptive parent, including
16fingerprint-based checks of national crime information
17databases. Final approval for placement shall not be granted
18if the record check reveals a felony conviction for child
19abuse or neglect, for spousal abuse, for a crime against

3prospective foster or adoptive parent or other adult living in
4the home has resided in another state in the preceding 5 years,
5the Department shall request a check of that other state's
6child abuse and neglect registry.
7    (w) Within 120 days of August 20, 1995 (the effective date
8of Public Act 89-392), the Department shall prepare and submit
9to the Governor and the General Assembly, a written plan for
10the development of in-state licensed secure child care
11facilities that care for children who are in need of secure

13For purposes of this subsection, secure care facility shall
14mean a facility that is designed and operated to ensure that
15all entrances and exits from the facility, a building or a
16distinct part of the building, are under the exclusive control
17of the staff of the facility, whether or not the child has the
18freedom of movement within the perimeter of the facility,
19building, or distinct part of the building. The plan shall
20include descriptions of the types of facilities that are
21needed in Illinois; the cost of developing these secure care
22facilities; the estimated number of placements; the potential
23cost savings resulting from the movement of children currently

10personal information has occurred. If financial exploitation
11appears to have taken place or is presently ongoing, the
12Department shall notify the proper law enforcement agency, the
13proper State's Attorney, or the Attorney General.
14    (y) Beginning on July 22, 2010 (the effective date of
15Public Act 96-1189), a child with a disability who receives
16residential and educational services from the Department shall
17be eligible to receive transition services in accordance with
18Article 14 of the School Code from the age of 14.5 through age

22by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
23Improvement Act of 2004.
24    (z) The Department shall access criminal history record
25information as defined as "background information" in this
26subsection and criminal history record information as defined

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 163 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1in the Illinois Uniform Conviction Information Act for each
2Department employee or Department applicant. Each Department
3employee or Department applicant shall submit his or her
4fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in the
5form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of State
6Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against the
7fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
8Department of State Police and the Federal Bureau of
9Investigation criminal history records databases. The Illinois
10Department of State Police shall charge a fee for conducting
11the criminal history record check, which shall be deposited
12into the State Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the
13actual cost of the record check. The Illinois Department of
14State Police shall furnish, pursuant to positive
15identification, all Illinois conviction information to the
16Department of Children and Family Services.
17    For purposes of this subsection:
18    "Background information" means all of the following:

24    of these proceedings.

22    abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned
23    through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
24    Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining
25    agreement and if that employee's name has already been
26    sent to the Registry, the employee's name shall be removed

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 197 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

15    of these proceedings.

17shall preserve a record of all proceedings at any formal

18    (a) The Illinois General Assembly finds and declares the
19following:
20        (1) The World Health Organization characterizes
21    hepatitis as a disease of primary concern to humanity.
22        (2) Hepatitis is considered a silent killer; no
23    recognizable signs or symptoms occur until severe liver
24    damage has occurred.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 223 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (3) Studies indicate that nearly 4 million Americans
2    (1.8 percent of the population) carry the virus HCV that
3    causes the disease.
4        (4) 30,000 acute new infections occur each year in the
5    United States, and only 25 to 30 percent are diagnosed.
6        (5) 8,000 to 10,000 Americans die from the disease
7    each year.
8        (6) 200,000 Illinois residents may be carriers and
9    could develop the debilitating and potentially deadly
10    liver disease.
11        (7) Inmates of correctional facilities have a higher
12    incidence of hepatitis and, upon their release, present a
13    significant health risk to the general population.
14        (8) Illinois members of the armed services are subject
15    to an increased risk of contracting hepatitis due to their
16    possible receipt of contaminated blood during a
17    transfusion occurring for the treatment of wounds and due
18    to their service in areas of the World where the disease is
19    more prevalent and healthcare is less capable of detecting
20    and treating the disease. Many of these service members
21    are unaware of the danger of hepatitis and their increased
22    risk of contracting the disease.
23    (b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall conduct
24an education and outreach campaign, in addition to its overall
25effort to prevent infectious disease in Illinois, in order to

6follows:
 
7    (20 ILCS 2637/5)
8    (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2021)
9    Sec. 5. Legislative intent. Racial and ethnic disparity in
10the criminal justice system, or the over-representation of
11certain minority groups compared to their representation in
12the general population, has been well documented, along with
13the harmful effects of such disproportionality. There is no
14single cause of the racial and ethnic disparity evident at
15every stage of the criminal justice system; suggested causes
16have included differing patterns of criminal activity, law
17enforcement activity, and discretionary decisions of criminal
18justice practitioners, along with effects of legislative
19policies. In order to make progress in reducing this harmful
20phenomenon, information on the racial composition of offenders
21at each stage of the criminal justice system must be
22systematically gathered and analyzed to lay the foundation for
23determining the impact of proposed remedies. Gaps of
24information at any stage will hamper valid analysis at

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 371 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1subsequent stages. At the earliest stages of the criminal
2justice system, systematic statewide information on arrested
3persons, including race and ethnicity, is collected in the
4Illinois State Police Criminal History Record Information
5System. However, under the Criminal Identification Act,
6systematic statewide information on the racial and ethnic
7composition of adults diverted from arrest by law enforcement
8and diverted from prosecution by each county's State's
9Attorney's office is not available. Therefore, it is the
10intent of this legislation to provide a mechanism by which
11statewide data on the race and ethnicity of offenders diverted
12from the criminal justice system before the filing of a court
13case can be provided by the criminal justice entity involved
14for future racial disparity impact analyses of the criminal
15justice system.

1person making payments to the taxpayer shall hold any
2non-exempt wages or other payments due or which subsequently
3come due. The levy or balance due thereon is a lien on wages or
4other payments due at the time of the service of the notice of
5levy, and such lien shall continue as to subsequent earnings
6and other payments until the total amount due upon the levy is
7paid, except that such lien on subsequent earnings or other
8payments shall terminate sooner if the employment relationship
9is terminated or if the notice of levy is rescinded or
10modified. The employer or other person making payments to the
11taxpayer shall file, on or before the return dates stated in
12the notice of levy (which shall not be more often than
13bimonthly) a written answer under oath to interrogatories,
14setting forth the amount due as wages or other payments to the
15taxpayer for the payment periods ending immediately prior to
16the appropriate return date. A lien obtained hereunder shall
17have priority over any subsequent lien obtained pursuant to
18Section 12-808 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except that

23Police, or successor agency thereto, under the authority of a
24warrant to levy issued by the Department of Revenue, the

3sales, the Department of Revenue shall proceed in the same
4manner as is prescribed by law for proceeding against property
5to enforce judgments which are entered by a circuit court of
6this State. If, in the Department of Revenue's opinion, no
7offer to purchase at such sale is acceptable and the State's
8interest would be better served by retaining the property for
9sale at a later date, then the Department may decline to accept
10any bid and may retain the property for sale at a later date.

18payable under Section 14-123 or 14-124, whichever is
19applicable, and shall deduct from such benefit the amounts
20already paid under this Section; such amounts shall then be

3    murder. The verified complaint must be filed with the
4    Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement

11    whether further investigation is warranted. The Illinois
12    Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall notify the
13    officer and the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor
14    Relations Board State Panel of the filing of the complaint
15    and any action taken thereon. If the Executive Director of

18    without merit, it shall be dismissed. The Executive
19    Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
20    Standards Board has sole discretion to make this
21    determination and this decision is not subject to appeal.
22    (i) If the Executive Director of the Illinois Law

15Enforcement Training Standards Board has determined that an
16investigation is warranted, the verified complaint shall be
17assigned to an investigator or investigators. The investigator
18or investigators shall conduct an investigation of the
19verified complaint and shall write a report of his or her
20findings. This report shall be submitted to the Executive
21Director of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel.
22    Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the Illinois
23Labor Relations Board State Panel shall review the
24investigative report and determine whether sufficient evidence
25exists to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the verified
26complaint. If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 506 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1Relations Board State Panel determines upon his or her review
2of the investigatory report that a hearing should not be
3conducted, the complaint shall be dismissed. This decision is
4in the Executive Director's sole discretion, and this
5dismissal may not be appealed.
6    If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
7Board State Panel determines that there is sufficient evidence
8to warrant a hearing, a hearing shall be ordered on the
9verified complaint, to be conducted by an administrative law
10judge employed by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
11Panel. The Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
12Board State Panel shall inform the Executive Director of the
13Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
14person who filed the complaint of either the dismissal of the
15complaint or the issuance of the complaint for hearing. The

17administrative law judge within 30 days of the decision
18granting a hearing.
19    (k) In the case of a finding of guilt on the offense of
20murder, if a new trial is granted on direct appeal, or a state
21post-conviction evidentiary hearing is ordered, based on a
22claim that a police officer, under oath, knowingly and
23willfully made false statements as to a material fact going to
24an element of the offense of murder, the Illinois Labor
25Relations Board State Panel shall hold a hearing to determine
26whether the officer should be decertified if an interested

2decision. The complaint shall be assigned to an administrative
3law judge within 30 days so that a hearing can be scheduled.

15complaint shall be referred to the Department of Professional
16Regulation. That office shall prosecute the verified complaint
17at the hearing before the administrative law judge. The
18Department of Professional Regulation shall have the
19opportunity to produce evidence to support the verified
20complaint and to request the Illinois Labor Relations Board

4of receiving into evidence relevant testimony and documents,
5including court records, to support or disprove the
6allegations made by the person filing the verified complaint
7and, at the close of the case, hear arguments. If the
8administrative law judge finds that there is not clear and
9convincing evidence to support the verified complaint that the
10police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and willfully
11made false statements as to a material fact going to an element
12of the offense of murder, the administrative law judge shall
13make a written recommendation of dismissal to the Illinois
14Labor Relations Board State Panel. If the administrative law
15judge finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that
16the police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and

11status because of the filing or processing of the verified
12complaint until there is a final non-appealable order
13sustaining his or her guilt and his or her certification is
14revoked. Nothing in this Act, however, restricts the public
15employer from pursuing discipline against the officer in the
16normal course and under procedures then in place.
17    (n) The Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall
18review the administrative law judge's recommended decision and
19order and determine by a majority vote whether or not there was
20clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while

16by this Act, he or she may petition the Appellate Court to stay
17the revocation of his or her certification pending the court's
18review of the matter.
19    (o) None of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State

2summons shall command these persons to present themselves
3personally at such a place and time as the coroner shall
4determine, and may be in any form which the coroner shall
5determine and may incorporate any reasonable form of request
6for acknowledgment acknowledgement which the coroner deems
7practical and provides a reliable proof of service. The
8summons may be served by first class mail. From the 8 persons
9so summoned, the coroner shall select 6 to serve as the jury
10for the inquest. Inquests may be continued from time to time,
11as the coroner may deem necessary. The 6 jurors selected in a
12given case may view the body of the deceased. If at any
13continuation of an inquest one or more of the original jurors
14shall be unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill
15the vacancy or vacancies. A juror serving pursuant to this
16paragraph shall receive compensation from the county at the
17same rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or
18grand jurors in the county. The coroner shall furnish to each
19juror without fee at the time of his discharge a certificate of
20the number of days in attendance at an inquest, and, upon being
21presented with such certificate, the county treasurer shall
22pay to the juror the sum provided for his services.
23    In counties which have a jury commission, in cases of
24apparent suicide or homicide or of accidental death, the
25coroner may conduct an inquest. The jury commission shall

HB3655 Engrossed- 621 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1shall select any 6 to serve as the jury for the inquest.
2Inquests may be continued from time to time as the coroner may
3deem necessary. The 6 jurors originally chosen in a given case
4may view the body of the deceased. If at any continuation of an
5inquest one or more of the 6 jurors originally chosen shall be
6unable to continue to serve, the coroner shall fill the
7vacancy or vacancies. At the coroner's discretion, additional
8jurors to fill such vacancies shall be supplied by the jury
9commission. A juror serving pursuant to this paragraph in such
10county shall receive compensation from the county at the same
11rate as the rate of compensation that is paid to petit or grand
12jurors in the county.
13    In every case in which a fire is determined to be a
14contributing factor in a death, the coroner shall report the
15death to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The coroner
16shall provide a copy of the death certificate (i) within 30
17days after filing the permanent death certificate and (ii) in
18a manner that is agreed upon by the coroner and the State Fire
19Marshal.
20    In every case in which a drug overdose is determined to be
21the cause or a contributing factor in the death, the coroner or
22medical examiner shall report the death to the Department of
23Public Health. The Department of Public Health shall adopt
24rules regarding specific information that must be reported in
25the event of such a death. If possible, the coroner shall
26report the cause of the overdose. As used in this Section,

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 622 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1"overdose" has the same meaning as it does in Section 414 of
2the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. The Department of
3Public Health shall issue a semiannual report to the General
4Assembly summarizing the reports received. The Department
5shall also provide on its website a monthly report of overdose
6death figures organized by location, age, and any other
7factors, the Department deems appropriate.
8    In addition, in every case in which domestic violence is
9determined to be a contributing factor in a death, the coroner
10shall report the death to the Illinois Department of State
11Police.
12    All deaths in State institutions and all deaths of wards
13of the State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the
14Children and Family Services Act in private care facilities or
15in programs funded by the Department of Human Services under
16its powers relating to mental health and developmental
17disabilities or alcoholism and substance abuse or funded by
18the Department of Children and Family Services shall be
19reported to the coroner of the county in which the facility is
20located. If the coroner has reason to believe that an
21investigation is needed to determine whether the death was
22caused by maltreatment or negligent care of the ward of the
23State or youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the Children
24and Family Services Act, the coroner may conduct a preliminary
25investigation of the circumstances of such death as in cases
26of death under circumstances set forth in paragraphs (a)

7    Sec. 10-1-7.1. Original appointments; full-time fire
8department.
9    (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow
10the provisions of Section 10-1-7.2, this Section shall apply
11to all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
12department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
13be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
14years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
1597-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
16    Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
17to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
18department to which this Section applies shall be administered
19in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
20Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
21adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
22initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
23continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
24Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 624 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1and any other law, this Section shall control.
2    A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
3administer its fire department process for original
4appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
5Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
6Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
7concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
8functions exercised by the State.
9    A municipality that is operating under a court order or
10consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
11fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
12Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General

21established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
22the performance standards required by this Section shall be
23placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to

1firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
2position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
3death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
4any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
5that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
6eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
7conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
8minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
9authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
10the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
11the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
12either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
13register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5
14highest ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number

18losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
19candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
20by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
21not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in
22future examinations, including an examination held during the
23time a candidate is already on the municipality's register of
24eligibles.
25    The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
26shall be vested in the Civil Service Commission. All

9classified member of the affected department. Firefighters who
10were not issued a certificate of appointment when originally
11appointed shall be provided with a certificate within 10 days
12after making a written request to the chairperson of the Civil
13Service Commission. Each person who accepts a certificate of

17Section, the probationary employment period limitation may be
18extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
19employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
20sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
21hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
22licensure.

1"fundamental goal of the People of the State is the
2educational development of all persons to the limits of their
3capacities" and (ii) that the educational development of every
4school student serves the public purposes of the State. In
5order to ensure that all Illinois students and teachers have
6the opportunity to enroll and work in State-approved
7educational institutions and programs, the State Board of
8Education shall provide for the voluntary registration and
9recognition of non-public elementary and secondary schools.
10    (b) Registration. All non-public elementary and secondary

HB3655 Engrossed- 704 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1non-public schools are different from public schools and will
2not be identical to those for public schools, nor will they be

16reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
17pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation
18imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be

3has acquired or maintained, directly or indirectly, in whole
4or in part as a result of such offense. Such person shall also
5forfeit any interest in, securities of, claim against, or
6contractual right of any kind which affords him a source of
7influence over, any enterprise which he has established,
8operated, controlled, conducted, or participated in
9conducting, where his relationship to or connection with any
10such thing or activity directly or indirectly, in whole or in
11part, is traceable to any thing or benefit which he has
12obtained or acquired through vendor fraud or recipient fraud.
13    Proceedings instituted pursuant to this subsection shall
14be subject to and conducted in accordance with the following
15procedures:
16    (1) The sentencing court shall, upon petition by the
17Attorney General or State's Attorney at any time following

HB3655 Engrossed- 1036 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this
2subsection is sought, the circuit court presiding over the
3trial of the person charged with recipient fraud or vendor
4fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 of this Article shall
5first determine whether there is probable cause to believe
6that the person so charged has committed the offense of
7recipient fraud or vendor fraud and whether the property or
8interest is subject to forfeiture under this subsection. To
9make such a determination, prior to entering any such order,
10the court shall conduct a hearing without a jury, at which the
11People shall establish that there is (i) probable cause that
12the person so charged has committed the offense of recipient
13fraud or vendor fraud and (ii) probable cause that any
14property or interest may be subject to forfeiture pursuant to
15this subsection. Such hearing may be conducted simultaneously
16with a preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by
17information or complaint, or by motion of the People at any
18stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of
19probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing
20of an information charging the offense of recipient fraud or
21vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or 8A-3 or the return
22of an indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of
23recipient fraud or vendor fraud as defined in Sections 8A-2 or
248A-3 of this Article as sufficient evidence of probable cause
25as provided in item (i) above. Upon such a finding, the circuit
26court shall enter such restraining order, injunction or

2with any such property or other interest subject to forfeiture
3under this Act as is necessary to insure that such property is
4not removed from the jurisdiction of the court, concealed,
5destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the owner of that
6property or interest prior to a forfeiture hearing under this
7subsection. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall
8file a certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or
9other prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of
10titles of each county where any such property of the defendant
11may be located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
12prohibition shall affect the rights of any bonafide purchaser,
13mortgagee, judgement creditor or other lien holder arising
14prior to the date of such filing. The court may, at any time,
15upon verified petition by the defendant, conduct a hearing to
16determine whether all or portions of any such property or
17interest which the court previously determined to be subject
18to forfeiture or subject to any restraining order, injunction,
19or prohibition or other action, should be released. The court
20may in its discretion release such property to the defendant
21for good cause shown.
22    (3) Upon conviction of a person under this Article, the
23court shall authorize the Director of the Illinois Department
24of State Police to seize all property or other interest
25declared forfeited under this subsection upon such terms and
26conditions as the court shall deem proper.

7Illinois Department an amount from the proceeds of the
8forfeited property, or monies forfeited or seized, which will
9satisfy any unsatisfied court order of restitution entered
10pursuant to a conviction under this Article. If the proceeds
11are less than the amount necessary to satisfy the order of
12restitution, the Director shall distribute to the Illinois
13Department the entire amount of the remaining proceeds. The

20to termination of the facility's provider agreement if, in the
21sole discretion of the Illinois Department, circumstances
22affecting the health, safety, and welfare of the facility's
23residents require those continued payments. The Illinois
24Department may condition those continued payments on the
25appointment of temporary management, sale of the facility to
26new owners or operators, or other arrangements that the

13for the State agency that will conduct the evidentiary
14hearings.

1request a reconsideration of payment withholding, and the
2Department must grant such a request. The Department shall
3state by rule a process and criteria by which a provider or
4alternate payee may request full or partial release of
5payments withheld under this subsection. This request may be
6made at any time after the Department first withholds such
7payments.
8        (a) The Illinois Department must send notice of its
9    withholding of program payments within 5 days of taking
10    such action. The notice must set forth the general
11    allegations as to the nature of the withholding action,
12    but need not disclose any specific information concerning
13    its ongoing investigation. The notice must do all of the
14    following:
15            (1) State that payments are being withheld in
16        accordance with this subsection.
17            (2) State that the withholding is for a temporary
18        period, as stated in paragraph (b) of this subsection,

4        Department first withholds such payments.
5        (b) All withholding-of-payment actions under this
6    subsection shall be temporary and shall not continue after
7    any of the following:
8            (1) The Illinois Department or the prosecuting
9        authorities determine that there is insufficient
10        evidence of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the
11        provider or alternate payee.
12            (2) Legal proceedings related to the provider's or
13        alternate payee's alleged fraud, willful

26with the Illinois Department such that the circumstances give

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1088 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1rise to the need for a withholding of payments. As used in this

8when it has indicia of reliability. The Illinois Department
9may withhold payments without first notifying the provider or
10alternate payee of its intention to withhold such payments. A
11provider or alternate payee may request a hearing or a
12reconsideration of payment withholding, and the Illinois
13Department must grant such a request. The Illinois Department
14shall state by rule a process and criteria by which a provider
15or alternate payee may request a hearing or a reconsideration
16for the full or partial release of payments withheld under

13        written request may be made to the Illinois Department
14        for a hearing or a reconsideration for the full or
15        partial release of withheld payments and that such
16        requests may be made at any time after the Illinois
17        Department first withholds such payments.
18        (b) All withholding of payment actions under this
19    subsection shall be temporary and shall not continue after
20    any of the following:
21            (1) The Illinois Department determines that there
22        is insufficient evidence of fraud, or the provider or

9subsection as "the protocol". The protocol shall include
10direction for health care providers on a specific person,
11official, or office to whom such disclosures shall be made.
12The Illinois Department shall post information on the protocol
13on the Illinois Department's public website. The Illinois
14Department may adopt rules necessary to implement this
15subsection (L). In addition to other factors that the Illinois
16Department finds appropriate, the Illinois Department may
17consider a health care provider's timely use or failure to use
18the protocol in considering the provider's failure to comply
19with this Code.
20    (M) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the
21Illinois Department, at its discretion, may exempt an entity
22licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, the ID/DD Community

1    (325 ILCS 5/7.4)  (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.4)
2    Sec. 7.4. (a) The Department shall be capable of receiving
3reports of suspected child abuse or neglect 24 hours a day, 7
4days a week. Whenever the Department receives a report
5alleging that a child is a truant as defined in Section 26-2a
6of the School Code, as now or hereafter amended, the
7Department shall notify the superintendent of the school
8district in which the child resides and the appropriate
9superintendent of the educational service region. The
10notification to the appropriate officials by the Department
11shall not be considered an allegation of abuse or neglect
12under this Act.
13    (a-5) The Department of Children and Family Services may
14implement a "differential response program" in accordance with
15criteria, standards, and procedures prescribed by rule. The
16program may provide that, upon receiving a report, the
17Department shall determine whether to conduct a family
18assessment or an investigation as appropriate to prevent or
19provide a remedy for child abuse or neglect.
20    For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "family assessment"
21means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of
22subsequent child maltreatment, and family strengths and needs
23that is applied to a child maltreatment report that does not
24allege substantial child endangerment. "Family assessment"
25does not include a determination as to whether child

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1100 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1maltreatment occurred but does determine the need for services
2to address the safety of family members and the risk of
3subsequent maltreatment.
4    For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "investigation"
5means fact-gathering related to the current safety of a child
6and the risk of subsequent abuse or neglect that determines
7whether a report of suspected child abuse or neglect should be
8indicated or unfounded and whether child protective services
9are needed.
10    Under the "differential response program" implemented
11under this subsection (a-5), the Department:
12        (1) Shall conduct an investigation on reports
13    involving substantial child abuse or neglect.
14        (2) Shall begin an immediate investigation if, at any
15    time when it is using a family assessment response, it
16    determines that there is reason to believe that
17    substantial child abuse or neglect or a serious threat to
18    the child's safety exists.
19        (3) May conduct a family assessment for reports that
20    do not allege substantial child endangerment. In
21    determining that a family assessment is appropriate, the
22    Department may consider issues, including, but not limited
23    to, child safety, parental cooperation, and the need for
24    an immediate response.
25        (4) Shall promulgate criteria, standards, and
26    procedures that shall be applied in making this

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1101 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    determination, taking into consideration the Child
2    Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol of the Department.
3        (5) May conduct a family assessment on a report that
4    was initially screened and assigned for an investigation.
5    In determining that a complete investigation is not
6required, the Department must document the reason for
7terminating the investigation and notify the local law
8enforcement agency or the Illinois Department of State Police
9if the local law enforcement agency or Illinois Department of
10State Police is conducting a joint investigation.
11    Once it is determined that a "family assessment" will be
12implemented, the case shall not be reported to the central
13register of abuse and neglect reports.
14    During a family assessment, the Department shall collect
15any available and relevant information to determine child
16safety, risk of subsequent abuse or neglect, and family
17strengths.
18    Information collected includes, but is not limited to,
19when relevant: information with regard to the person reporting
20the alleged abuse or neglect, including the nature of the
21reporter's relationship to the child and to the alleged
22offender, and the basis of the reporter's knowledge for the
23report; the child allegedly being abused or neglected; the
24alleged offender; the child's caretaker; and other collateral
25sources having relevant information related to the alleged
26abuse or neglect. Information relevant to the assessment must

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1102 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1be asked for, and may include:
2        (A) The child's sex and age, prior reports of abuse or
3    neglect, information relating to developmental
4    functioning, credibility of the child's statement, and
5    whether the information provided under this paragraph (A)
6    is consistent with other information collected during the
7    course of the assessment or investigation.
8        (B) The alleged offender's age, a record check for
9    prior reports of abuse or neglect, and criminal charges
10    and convictions. The alleged offender may submit
11    supporting documentation relevant to the assessment.
12        (C) Collateral source information regarding the
13    alleged abuse or neglect and care of the child. Collateral
14    information includes, when relevant: (i) a medical
15    examination of the child; (ii) prior medical records
16    relating to the alleged maltreatment or care of the child
17    maintained by any facility, clinic, or health care
18    professional, and an interview with the treating
19    professionals; and (iii) interviews with the child's
20    caretakers, including the child's parent, guardian, foster
21    parent, child care provider, teachers, counselors, family
22    members, relatives, and other persons who may have
23    knowledge regarding the alleged maltreatment and the care
24    of the child.
25        (D) Information on the existence of domestic abuse and
26    violence in the home of the child, and substance abuse.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1103 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    Nothing in this subsection (a-5) precludes the Department
2from collecting other relevant information necessary to
3conduct the assessment or investigation. Nothing in this
4subsection (a-5) shall be construed to allow the name or
5identity of a reporter to be disclosed in violation of the
6protections afforded under Section 7.19 of this Act.
7    After conducting the family assessment, the Department
8shall determine whether services are needed to address the
9safety of the child and other family members and the risk of
10subsequent abuse or neglect.
11    Upon completion of the family assessment, if the
12Department concludes that no services shall be offered, then
13the case shall be closed. If the Department concludes that
14services shall be offered, the Department shall develop a
15family preservation plan and offer or refer services to the
16family.
17    At any time during a family assessment, if the Department
18believes there is any reason to stop the assessment and
19conduct an investigation based on the information discovered,
20the Department shall do so.
21    The procedures available to the Department in conducting
22investigations under this Act shall be followed as appropriate
23during a family assessment.
24    If the Department implements a differential response
25program authorized under this subsection (a-5), the Department
26shall arrange for an independent evaluation of the program for

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1104 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1at least the first 3 years of implementation to determine
2whether it is meeting the goals in accordance with Section 2 of
3this Act.
4    The Department may adopt administrative rules necessary
5for the execution of this Section, in accordance with Section
64 of the Children and Family Services Act.
7    The Department shall submit a report to the General
8Assembly by January 15, 2018 on the implementation progress
9and recommendations for additional needed legislative changes.
10    (b)(1) The following procedures shall be followed in the
11investigation of all reports of suspected abuse or neglect of
12a child, except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section.
13    (2) If, during a family assessment authorized by
14subsection (a-5) or an investigation, it appears that the
15immediate safety or well-being of a child is endangered, that
16the family may flee or the child disappear, or that the facts
17otherwise so warrant, the Child Protective Service Unit shall
18commence an investigation immediately, regardless of the time
19of day or night. All other investigations shall be commenced
20within 24 hours of receipt of the report. Upon receipt of a
21report, the Child Protective Service Unit shall conduct a
22family assessment authorized by subsection (a-5) or begin an
23initial investigation and make an initial determination
24whether the report is a good faith indication of alleged child
25abuse or neglect.
26    (3) Based on an initial investigation, if the Unit

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1105 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1determines the report is a good faith indication of alleged
2child abuse or neglect, then a formal investigation shall
3commence and, pursuant to Section 7.12 of this Act, may or may
4not result in an indicated report. The formal investigation
5shall include: direct contact with the subject or subjects of
6the report as soon as possible after the report is received; an
7evaluation of the environment of the child named in the report
8and any other children in the same environment; a
9determination of the risk to such children if they continue to
10remain in the existing environments, as well as a
11determination of the nature, extent and cause of any condition
12enumerated in such report; the name, age and condition of
13other children in the environment; and an evaluation as to
14whether there would be an immediate and urgent necessity to
15remove the child from the environment if appropriate family
16preservation services were provided. After seeing to the
17safety of the child or children, the Department shall
18forthwith notify the subjects of the report in writing, of the
19existence of the report and their rights existing under this
20Act in regard to amendment or expungement. To fulfill the
21requirements of this Section, the Child Protective Service

26investigation of a report, the Unit determines the report to

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1106 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1be a good faith indication of alleged child abuse or neglect
2that warrants a formal investigation by the Unit, the

13commenced a formal investigation pursuant to this Act, which
14may or may not result in an indicated report. The Department

20school grounds, the Department shall make reasonable efforts
21to follow the following procedures:
22        (1) Investigations involving teachers shall not, to
23    the extent possible, be conducted when the teacher is

7supervisory or hierarchical authority over a member of the
8clergy accused of the abuse of a child, in the course of its
9investigation, the Department shall notify the employer or the
10religious institution or religious official, in writing, when
11a report is unfounded so that any record of the investigation
12can be expunged from the employee's or member of the clergy's

10certificate, which shall authorize the holder thereof to
11possess, transport, or, by an endorsement, transfer ownership
12in such junked vehicle, and a certificate of title shall not

12    (b) An application for a salvage certificate shall be
13submitted to the Secretary of State in any of the following
14situations:
15        (1) When an insurance company makes a payment of
16    damages on a total loss claim for a vehicle, the insurance
17    company shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle and
18    the vehicle shall be considered to be salvage except that
19    ownership of (i) a vehicle that has incurred only hail
20    damage that does not affect the operational safety of the
21    vehicle or (ii) any vehicle 9 model years of age or older
22    may, by agreement between the registered owner and the

HB3655 Engrossed- 1485 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
2    insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
3    insurer making payment of damages on a total loss claim
4    for the theft of a vehicle shall not be required to apply
5    for a salvage certificate unless the vehicle is recovered
6    and has incurred damage that initially would have caused
7    the vehicle to be declared a total loss by the insurer.
8        (1.1) When a vehicle of a self-insured company is to
9    be sold in the State of Illinois and has sustained damaged
10    by collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means
11    so that the self-insured company determines the vehicle to
12    be a total loss, or if the cost of repairing the damage,
13    including labor, would be greater than 70% of its fair
14    market value without that damage, the vehicle shall be
15    considered salvage. The self-insured company shall
16    promptly deliver the certificate of title along with
17    proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and
18    a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
19    self-insured company. A self-insured company making
20    payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a
21    vehicle may exchange the salvage certificate for a
22    certificate of title if the vehicle is recovered without
23    damage. In such a situation, the self-insured shall fill
24    out and sign a form prescribed by the Secretary of State
25    which contains an affirmation under penalty of perjury
26    that the vehicle was recovered without damage and the

4    transferred to any person through a certificate of
5    purchase from acquisition of the vehicle at an auction,
6    other dispositions as set forth in Sections 4-208 and
7    4-209 of this Code, or a lien arising under Section
8    18a-501 of this Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the
9    option of the purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle
10    in such manner shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20
11    days after the acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate
12    of purchase, the proper application and fee, and, if the
13    vehicle is an abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned
14    Mobile Home Act, a certification from a local law
15    enforcement agency that the vehicle was purchased or
16    acquired at a public sale under the Abandoned Mobile Home
17    Act to the Secretary of State and a salvage certificate or
18    junking certificate shall be issued in the name of that
19    person. The salvage certificate or junking certificate
20    issued by the Secretary of State under this Section shall
21    be free of any lien that existed against the vehicle prior
22    to the time the vehicle was acquired by the applicant
23    under this Code.
24        (3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
25    lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the
26    repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1487 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire,
2    theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
3    repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
4    than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.
5    If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged
6    in excess of 33 1/3% of such fair market value, the
7    lienholder shall, before sale, transfer or assignment of
8    the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate,
9    and shall submit with such application the proper fee and
10    evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown
11    in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the
12    Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in
13    the name of the lienholder making the application. In any
14    case wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in
15    excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder
16    shall comply with the requirements of subsections (f),
17    (f-5), and (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the
18    affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the
19    lienholder shall also contain an affirmation under penalty
20    of perjury that the vehicle on the date of sale is not
21    damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value. If
22    the facts required to be shown in subsection (f) of
23    Section 3-114 are satisfied, the Secretary of State shall
24    issue a certificate of title as set forth in Section 3-116
25    of this Code. The Secretary of State may by rule or
26    regulation require photographs to be submitted.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1488 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than 5
2    commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other
3    state or registered proportionately among several states
4    shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has
5    sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust,
6    corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing
7    such damage, including labor, would be greater than 33
8    1/3% of the fair market value of the vehicle without such
9    damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell,
10    transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a
11    person within this State other than an insurance company
12    licensed to do business within this State, and the owner
13    determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed
14    sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 33
15    1/3% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before
16    such sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a
17    salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it
18    evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet
19    vehicle at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment
20    is not damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market
21    value, the owner shall so state in a written affirmation
22    on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or
23    regulation. The Secretary of State may by rule or
24    regulation require photographs to be submitted. Upon sale,
25    transfer or assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner
26    shall mail the affirmation to the Secretary of State.

1        (5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
2    point that rising water has reached over the door sill and
3    has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood
4    vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be
5    salvage only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that
6    the cost of repairing the damage, including labor, would
7    be greater than 33 1/3% of the fair market value of the
8    vehicle without that damage. The salvage certificate
9    issued under this Section shall indicate the word "flood",
10    and the word "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on
11    subsequent titles for the vehicle. A person who possesses
12    or acquires a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess
13    of 33 1/3% of its fair market value shall make application
14    for title in accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code,
15    designating the vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed
16    by the Secretary of State. The certificate of title issued
17    shall indicate the word "flood", and the word "flood"
18    shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for
19    the vehicle.
20        (6) When any licensed rebuilder, repairer, new or used
21    vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an
22    application for title to a vehicle (other than an
23    application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she
24    knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained

13    essential parts other than hulks, chassis, frames or
14    cowls, shall apply only to those essential parts which are
15    6 model years of age or newer. In determining the model
16    year of such an essential part it may be presumed that the
17    identification number of the vehicle from which the
18    essential part came or the identification number affixed
19    to the essential part itself acquired by the licensee
20    denotes the model year of that essential part. This
21    presumption, however, shall not apply if the gross

23    the year, make or model of either the identification
24    number of the vehicle from which the essential part is
25    alleged to have come or the identification number which is

7    for the dealer license number of the person disposing of
8    the part, the licensee or his agent or employee shall list
9    the numbers taken from the documents of identification
10    provided by the person disposing of the part. The person

12    legible signature on the space on the Uniform Invoice
13    provided for the person disposing of the essential part
14    and the licensee or his agent or employee acquiring the

5she consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service
6or ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration
7is shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this

2    provision of a local ordinance; and
3        (3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
4    believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
5    alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
6    actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
7    officer; and
8        (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
9    officer that the privilege to possess a school bus driver
10    permit would be canceled if the person refused to submit
11    to and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to
12    or complete the test or tests to determine the person's
13    alcohol concentration; and
14        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
15    officer that the privileges to possess a school bus driver
16    permit would be canceled if the person submits to a
17    chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an
18    alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did
19    submit to and complete the test or tests that determined
20    an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
21        (6) whether the test result of an alcohol
22    concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
23    person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a
24    religious service or ceremony; and
25        (7) whether the test result of an alcohol
26    concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1573 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the
2    prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
3    The Secretary of State may adopt administrative rules
4setting forth circumstances under which the holder of a school
5bus driver permit is not required to appear in person at the
6hearing.
7    Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the
8hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law enforcement
9officer's own official reports. Failure of the officer to
10answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a continuance if, in
11the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
12appropriate. At the conclusion of the hearing held under
13Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State may
14rescind, continue, or modify the school bus driver permit
15sanction.
16    (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
17accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
18admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that
19the results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
20under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
21testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
22under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
23may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
24revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
25this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge
26forms the basis of that suspension or revocation.

9by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when
10conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or
11similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under
12the influence of cannabis. The General Assembly finds that (i)

18under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these tests is
19to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's
20capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore
21operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the results of
22these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field
23sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be
24admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or
25proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related

5    qualified person of their own choosing administer a
6    chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
7    field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
8    of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
9    obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude
10    the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests
11    taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
12        2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to
13    validated roadside chemical tests or a standardized field
14    sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
15    officer, full information concerning the test or tests
16    shall be made available to the person or the person's

20    defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
21    proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
22    results of these validated roadside chemical tests or
23    standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person
24    may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence
25    that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform

2    (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
3proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
4by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
5vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
6concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
7the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
8urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to
9the following presumptions:
10        1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
11    of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
12    not under the influence of alcohol.
13        2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
14    in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
15    give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
16    under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
17    considered with other competent evidence in determining

20the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of
21this Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
22shown to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he

HB3655 Engrossed- 1636 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1concentration resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed
2or recommended dosage of medicine that contained alcohol. The
3petition for that hearing shall not stay or delay the
4effective date of the impending suspension. The scope of this
5hearing shall be limited to the issues of:
6        (1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
7    believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
8    control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the
9    State and the police officer had reason to believe that
10    the person was in violation of any provision of the
11    Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
12    ordinance; and
13        (2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
14    Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
15    similar provision of a local ordinance; and
16        (3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
17    believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
18    alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
19    actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
20    officer; and
21        (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
22    officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
23    would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
24    complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
25    complete the test or tests to determine the person's
26    alcohol concentration; and

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1637 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
2    officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
3    would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical
4    test or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
5    concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and
6    complete the test or tests that determined an alcohol
7    concentration of more than 0.00; and
8        (6) whether the test result of an alcohol
9    concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
10    person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a
11    religious service or ceremony; and
12        (7) whether the test result of an alcohol
13    concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
14    person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the
15    prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
16    At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118
17of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or
18modify the suspension and disqualification. If the Secretary
19of State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification,
20a restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of
21State upon application being made and good cause shown. A
22restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
23hardship by allowing driving for employment, educational, and
24medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section
256-206 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of

3awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
4program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance of
5a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under this
6Section.
7    (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
8accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
9admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that
10the results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
11under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
12testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
13under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
14may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
15revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
16this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge
17forms the basis of that suspension or revocation.
18    (g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
1921 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for
20a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
21provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is

9applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
10agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or

5record, and (iv) if petitioning he or she may file the petition
6on his or her own or with the assistance of an attorney. The
7failure of the judge to inform the delinquent minor of his or
8her right to petition for expungement as provided by law does
9not create a substantive right, nor is that failure grounds
10for: (i) a reversal of an adjudication of delinquency; , (ii) a

11    opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
12            (A) there is probable cause to believe that the

213,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or
22on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy
23financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
24case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
25in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
26    At the request of the defendant the court may order such

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1997 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

190% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is
2repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
3defendant's attorney of record.
4    (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
5the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
6order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
7of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
8last known address. If the accused does not appear and
9surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
10the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
11court that appearance and surrender by the accused is
12impossible and without his fault the court shall enter
13judgment for the State if the charge for which the bond was
14given was a felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was
15quasi-criminal or traffic, judgment for the political
16subdivision of the State which prosecuted the case, against
17the accused for the amount of the bail and costs of the court
18proceedings; however, in counties with a population of less
19than 3,000,000, instead of the court entering a judgment for
20the full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion,
21enter judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs,
22retain the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond
23was posted for failure to appear in a matter involving
24enforcement of child support or maintenance, the amount of the
25cash deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be
26awarded to the person or entity to whom the child support or

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 1998 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1maintenance is due. The deposit made in accordance with
2paragraph (a) shall be applied to the payment of costs. If
3judgment is entered and any amount of such deposit remains
4after the payment of costs it shall be applied to payment of
5the judgment and transferred to the treasury of the municipal
6corporation wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a
7violation of any penal ordinance of a political subdivision of
8this State, or to the treasury of the county wherein the bond
9was taken if the offense was a violation of any penal statute
10of this State. The balance of the judgment may be enforced and
11collected in the same manner as a judgment entered in a civil
12action.
13    (h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either
14is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
15been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
16deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
17to the payment of the judgment.
18    (i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged
19violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of
202012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish
21and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or
22a comparable offense of a unit of local government as
23specified in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does
24not appear in court on the date set for appearance or any date
25to which the case may be continued and the court issues an
26arrest warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure

1to appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by
2the court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall
3be assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall
4be a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the
5court. The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the
6accused is required to deposit for the offense for which the
7accused has been charged and may not be used for the payment of
8court costs or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the
9court shall remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting
10agency who brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the
11Illinois Department of State Police is the arresting agency,
12$70 of the fee assessed shall be remitted by the clerk of the
13court to the State Treasurer within one month after receipt
14for deposit into the State Police Operations Assistance Fund.
15The clerk of the court shall remit $5 of the fee assessed to
16the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund as
17provided in Section 27.3d of the Clerks of Courts Act.

5alleging that conviction of the offense would subject the
6defendant to the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because
7of the relationship between the defendant and the alleged
8victim and the nature of the alleged offense.
9    (b) The notice shall include the name of the person
10alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the
11nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
12921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
13charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of
14physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
15set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include

10remedies.
11    (a) (Blank).
12    (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
13subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
14shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
15available 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.
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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2003 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
2    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
3    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
4    limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
5    Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
6    Marriage Act.
7            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
8        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
9        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
10        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
11        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
12        person or entity other than the opposing party that
13        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
14        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
15        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
16            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
17        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
18        residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
19        the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
20        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
21        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
22        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
23        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
24        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
25        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
26        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2004 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
2        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
3        the accessibility of the residence or household.
4        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
5        have a right to occupancy.
6            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
7        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
8        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
9        that the hardships to respondent substantially
10        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
11        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
12        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
13        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
14        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
15        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
16        household.
17        (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
18    respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
19    person protected by the domestic violence order of
20    protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
21    remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
22    employment, or other specified places at times when
23    petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
24    balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
25    the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
26    respondent has no right to enter the premises.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2005 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1            (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
2        grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
3        residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
4        residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
5        petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
6        may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
7        items of clothing and personal adornment used
8        exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
9        items as the court directs. The right to access shall
10        be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
11        and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
12        party or law enforcement officer.
13            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
14        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
15        middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
16        domestic violence order of protection and providing
17        relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
18        continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
19        the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
20        the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
21        law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
22        to another school, a change of placement or a change of
23        program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
24        and educational disruption that would be caused by a
25        transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
26        other relevant facts of the case. The court may order

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2006 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2007 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        another attendance center within the respondent's
2        school district or private or non-public school, the
3        school district or private or non-public school shall
4        have sole discretion to determine the attendance
5        center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
6        court order results in a transfer of the minor
7        respondent to another attendance center, a change in
8        the respondent's placement, or a change of the
9        respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
10        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
11        transportation and other costs associated with the
12        transfer or change.
13            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
14        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
15        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
16        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
17        the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
18        another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
19        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
20        transportation and other costs associated with the
21        change of school by the respondent.
22        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
23    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
24    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
25    psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
26    abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2008 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    agency providing services to elders, program designed for
2    domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
3    the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
4    respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
5    to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
6    approved partner abuse intervention program for an
7    assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
8        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
9    In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
10    or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
11    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
12    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
13    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
14    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
15    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
16    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
17    in loco parentis.
18        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
19    Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
20    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
21    respondent would not be in the minor child's best
22    interest.
23        (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
24    and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
25    temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
26    petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2009 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
2    Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
3    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
4        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
5    Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
6    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
7    significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
8    would not be in the child's 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 temporary significant decision-making
12    responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
13    shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
14    minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
15    is likely to do any of the following:
16            (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
17        parenting time;
18            (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
19        abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
20        household members;
21            (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
22        child; or
23            (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
24        best interests of the minor child.
25        The court shall not be limited by the standards set
26    forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2010 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
2    time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
3    parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
4    or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
5    time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
6    time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
7    child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
8    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
9    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
10    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
11    in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
12    any member of petitioner's family or household from future
13    abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
14    petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
15    parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
16    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
17    alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
18    be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
19    an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
20    acknowledging accountability to the court.
21        (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
22    respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
23    concealing the child within the State.
24        (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
25    court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
26    neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2011 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
2    permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
3    child or the respondent.
4        (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
5    exclusive possession of personal property and, if
6    respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
7    promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
8            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
9        property; or
10            (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
11        property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
12        petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
13        balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
14        petitioner.
15        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
16    property is that it is marital property, the court may
17    award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
18    standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
19    proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
20    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
21    hereafter amended.
22        No order under this provision shall affect title to
23    property.
24        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
25    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
26    damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2012 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
2    if:
3            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
4        property; or
5            (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
6        property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
7        granting this remedy.
8        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
9    property is that it is marital property, the court may
10    grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
11    paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
12    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
13    now or hereafter amended.
14        The court may further prohibit respondent from
15    improperly using the financial or other resources of an
16    aged member of the family or household for the profit or
17    advantage of respondent or of any other person.
18        (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
19    exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
20    possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
21    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
22    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
23    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
24    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
25    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
26    otherwise disposing of the animal.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2013 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
2    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
3    the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
4    allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
5    a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
6    with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
7    Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
8    of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
9    income to secure payment. An order for child support may
10    be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
11    child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
12    child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
13    decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
14    expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
15    responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
16    significant decision-making responsibility unless
17    otherwise provided in the order.
18        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
19    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
20    the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
21    to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
22    repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
23    reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
24    other travel expenses, including additional reasonable

1        entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
2        property distribution from the other party under the
3        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
4        now or hereafter amended, the court may order

6        the extent that such reimbursement would be
7        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
8        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.

8        local law enforcement agency, which in turn shall
9        immediately mail the card to the Illinois Department
10        of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
11        Office for safekeeping. The period of safekeeping
12        shall be for the duration of the domestic violence
13        order of protection. The firearm or firearms and
14        Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired,
15        shall at the respondent's request be returned to the

23        enforcement executive of the agency in which the

25        for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic
26        violence order of protection.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2016 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

1    housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
2    cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
3    deemed reasonable by the court.
4        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
5    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
6    of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
7    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
8    hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction
9    is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
10    in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
11    designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to
12    establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
13        (18) Telephone services.
14            (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
15        (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
16        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone

11            transferred.
12                (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
13            to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
14            and right to the use of any telephone number

17        terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
18        to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
19        numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
20        paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
21        hours after it receives the order, that one of the
22        following applies:
23                (i) The account holder named in the order has
24            terminated the account.
25                (ii) A difference in network technology would
26            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2019 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2020 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        an agent for service of orders entered under this
2        paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
3        agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
4        Commission within 30 days of such change.
5            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
6        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
7        each wireless telephone service provider on the

9        wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
10        Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
11        is provided and displayed.
12    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
13        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
14    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
15    relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
16    following:
17            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
18        consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
19        petitioner or any family or household member,
20        including the concealment of his or her location in
21        order to evade service of process or notice, and the
22        likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
23        any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
24        household; and
25            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
26        abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2021 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
2        or improperly separated from the child's primary
3        caretaker.
4        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
5    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
6    court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
7    limited to, the following:
8            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
9        adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
10        alternate housing for each party and any minor child
11        or dependent adult in the party's care;
12            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
13            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
14        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
15        care, to family, school, church, and community.
16        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
17    (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
18    findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
19    a minimum set forth the following:
20            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
21        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
22        of this subsection (c).
23            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
24        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
25        or continued abuse.
26            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2022 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
2        other alleged abused persons.
3        (4) (Blank).
4        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
5    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
6    marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
7    child relationship has been established under the Illinois
8    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
9    the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
10    Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
11    Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
12    the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
13    administrative, or other act of another state or
14    territory, any other statute of this State, or by any
15    foreign nation establishing the father and child
16    relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
17    conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and
18    Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both
19    parties appeared in open court or at an administrative
20    hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by
21    affirmation the existence of a father and child
22    relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
23    father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
24    responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
25    child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
26    nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2023 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    child be entered.
2    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
3that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
4a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
5subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
6balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
7include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
8result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
9outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
10The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
11    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
12based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
13        (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
14    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
15    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
16        (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
17        (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
18    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
19    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
20    of 2012;
21        (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
22    of another;
23        (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
24    avoid further abuse by respondent;
25        (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
26    household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2024 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
2    the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
3    have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
4    or household members.

8    (725 ILCS 5/112A-14.7)
9    Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.
10    (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
11Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
12addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
13petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or
14more of the following:
15        (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
16    or committing stalking;
17        (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
18    the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
19    court;
20        (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
21    within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
22    of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
23    daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
24    frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
25    the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2025 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2026 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2027 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

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

3        additional prohibitions described in paragraph (3) of
4        subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
5        removal or concealment of minor child described in
6        paragraph (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
7        this Code; order to appear described in paragraph (9)
8        of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
9        physical care and possession of the minor child
10        described in paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of
11        Section 112A-14 of this Code; protection of property
12        described in paragraph (11) of subsection (b) of
13        Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of entry
14        described in paragraph (14) of subsection (b) of
15        Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of firearm
16        possession described in paragraph (14.5) of subsection
17        (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; prohibition of
18        access to records described in paragraph (15) of
19        subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code;
20        injunctive relief described in paragraph (16) of

22        telephone services described in paragraph (18) of
23        subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, the
24        harm which that remedy is intended to prevent would be
25        likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior
26        notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2030 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;
2            (B) for the remedy of grant of exclusive
3        possession of residence described in paragraph (2) of
4        subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code; the
5        immediate danger of further abuse of the petitioner by
6        the respondent, if the petitioner chooses or had
7        chosen to remain in the residence or household while
8        the respondent was given any prior notice or greater
9        notice than was actually given of the petitioner's
10        efforts to obtain judicial relief outweighs the
11        hardships to the respondent of an emergency order
12        granting the petitioner exclusive possession of the
13        residence or household; and the remedy shall not be
14        denied because the petitioner has or could obtain
15        temporary shelter elsewhere while prior notice is
16        given to the respondent, unless the hardship to the
17        respondent from exclusion from the home substantially
18        outweigh the hardship to the petitioner; or
19            (C) for the remedy of possession of personal
20        property described in paragraph (10) of subsection (b)
21        of Section 112A-14 of this Code; improper disposition
22        of the personal property would be likely to occur if
23        the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
24        notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
25        efforts to obtain judicial relief or the petitioner
26        has an immediate and pressing need for the possession

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2031 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        of that property.
2    An ex parte domestic violence order of protection may not
3include the counseling, custody, or payment of support or
4monetary compensation remedies provided by paragraphs (4),
5(12), (13), and (16) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of
6this Code.
7    (c) Issuance of ex parte civil no contact order in cases
8involving sexual offenses. An ex parte civil no contact order

17    time a summons or arrest warrant is issued for the
18    criminal charge, the petition for the protective order,

23    not be affected by the lack of service or delivery,
24    provided the requirements of subsection (a) of Section
25    112A-23 of this Code are otherwise met.
26        (2) If an ex parte protective order is entered after a

23    affect the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff
24    or other official process servers. In a county with a
25    population over 3,000,000, a special process server may

13        (2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the
14    order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of
15    its remedies was not authorized under this Article.
16    The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the
17evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at
18a hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at
19the hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense
20by a preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to
21vacate the protective order or modify the remedies.
22    (h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner
23exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of

6    (i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte
7order shall remain in effect until the court considers the

23    (c) The trial court shall allow the testing under
24reasonable conditions designed to protect the State's

26process upon a determination that:

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2049 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (1) the result of the testing has the scientific
2    potential to produce new, noncumulative evidence (i)
3    materially relevant to the defendant's assertion of actual
4    innocence when the defendant's conviction was the result
5    of a trial, even though the results may not completely
6    exonerate the defendant, or (ii) that would raise a
7    reasonable probability that the defendant would have been
8    acquitted if the results of the evidence to be tested had
9    been available prior to the defendant's guilty plea and
10    the petitioner had proceeded to trial instead of pleading
11    guilty, even though the results may not completely
12    exonerate the defendant; and
13        (2) the testing requested employs a scientific method
14    generally accepted within the relevant scientific
15    community.
16    (d) If evidence previously tested pursuant to this Section
17reveals an unknown fingerprint from the crime scene that does
18not match the defendant or the victim, the order of the Court
19shall direct the prosecuting authority to request the Illinois
20State Police Bureau of Forensic Science to submit the unknown
21fingerprint evidence into the FBI's Integrated Automated
22Fingerprint Identification System (AIFIS) for identification.
23    (e) In the court's order to allow testing, the court shall
24order the investigating authority to prepare an inventory of
25the evidence related to the case and issue a copy of the
26inventory to the prosecution, the petitioner, and the court.

5court after consultation with the victim or victim advocate,
6or both, following final adjudication of the case.

9    (725 ILCS 175/5)  (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1655)
10    Sec. 5. (a) A person who commits the offense of narcotics
11racketeering shall:
12        (1) be guilty of a Class 1 felony; and
13        (2) be subject to a fine of up to $250,000.
14    A person who commits the offense of narcotics racketeering
15or who violates Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control
16Act shall forfeit to the State of Illinois: (A) any profits or
17proceeds and any property or property interest he has acquired
18or maintained in violation of this Act or Section 3 of the Drug
19Paraphernalia Control Act or has used to facilitate a
20violation of this Act that the court determines, after a
21forfeiture hearing, under subsection (b) of this Section to
22have been acquired or maintained as a result of narcotics
23racketeering or violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia
24Control Act, or used to facilitate narcotics racketeering; and

1(B) any interest in, security of, claim against, or property
2or contractual right of any kind affording a source of
3influence over, any enterprise which he has established,
4operated, controlled, conducted, or participated in the
5conduct of, in violation of this Act or Section 3 of the Drug
6Paraphernalia Control Act, that the court determines, after a
7forfeiture hearing, under subsection (b) of this Section to
8have been acquired or maintained as a result of narcotics
9racketeering or violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia
10Control Act or used to facilitate narcotics racketeering.
11    (b) The court shall, upon petition by the Attorney General
12or State's Attorney, at any time subsequent to the filing of an
13information or return of an indictment, conduct a hearing to
14determine whether any property or property interest is subject
15to forfeiture under this Act. At the forfeiture hearing the
16people shall have the burden of establishing, by a
17preponderance of the evidence, that property or property
18interests are subject to forfeiture under this Act. There is a
19rebuttable presumption at such hearing that any property or
20property interest of a person charged by information or
21indictment with narcotics racketeering or who is convicted of
22a violation of Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
23is subject to forfeiture under this Section if the State

6    (c) In an action brought by the People of the State of
7Illinois under this Act, wherein any restraining order,
8injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
9with any property or property interest subject to forfeiture
10under this Act is sought, the circuit court which shall
11preside over the trial of the person or persons charged with
12narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of this Act or
13violating Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act
14shall first determine whether there is probable cause to
15believe that the person or persons so charged has committed
16the offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4
17of this Act or a violation of Section 3 of the Drug
18Paraphernalia Control Act and whether the property or property
19interest is subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act.
20    In order to make such a determination, prior to entering
21any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a
22jury, wherein the People shall establish that there is: (i)
23probable cause that the person or persons so charged have
24committed the offense of narcotics racketeering or violating
25Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act and (ii)
26probable cause that any property or property interest may be

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2081 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Act. Such hearing may
2be conducted simultaneously with a preliminary hearing, if the
3prosecution is commenced by information or complaint, or by
4motion of the People, at any stage in the proceedings. The
5court may accept a finding of probable cause at a preliminary
6hearing following the filing of an information charging the
7offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in Section 4 of
8this Act or the return of an indictment by a grand jury
9charging the offense of narcotics racketeering as defined in
10Section 4 of this Act or after a charge is filed for violating
11Section 3 of the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act as sufficient
12evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) above.
13    Upon such a finding, the circuit court shall enter such
14restraining order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take
15such other action in connection with any such property or
16property interest subject to forfeiture under this Act, as is
17necessary to insure that such property is not removed from the
18jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
19disposed of by the owner of that property or property interest
20prior to a forfeiture hearing under subsection (b) of this
21Section. The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
22certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
23prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
24of each county where any such property of the defendant may be
25located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
26prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide

1purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder
2arising prior to the date of such filing.
3    The court may, at any time, upon verified petition by the
4defendant, conduct a hearing to release all or portions of any
5such property or interest which the court previously
6determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to any
7restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other action.
8The court may release such property to the defendant for good
9cause shown and within the sound discretion of the court.
10    (d) Prosecution under this Act may be commenced by the
11Attorney General or a State's Attorney.
12    (e) Upon an order of forfeiture being entered pursuant to
13subsection (b) of this Section, the court shall authorize the
14Attorney General to seize any property or property interest
15declared forfeited under this Act and under such terms and
16conditions as the court shall deem proper. Any property or
17property interest that has been the subject of an entered
18restraining order, injunction or prohibition or any other
19action filed under subsection (c) shall be forfeited unless
20the claimant can show by a preponderance of the evidence that
21the property or property interest has not been acquired or
22maintained as a result of narcotics racketeering or has not
23been used to facilitate narcotics racketeering.
24    (f) The Attorney General or his designee is authorized to
25sell all property forfeited and seized pursuant to this Act,
26unless such property is required by law to be destroyed or is

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2083 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1harmful to the public, and, after the deduction of all
2requisite expenses of administration and sale, shall
3distribute the proceeds of such sale, along with any moneys
4forfeited or seized, in accordance with subsection (g) or (h),
5whichever is applicable.
6    (g) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other property

18    property forfeited and the total law enforcement effort
19    with respect to the violation of the law on which the
20    forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to the agency or
21    agencies shall be used for the enforcement of laws
22    governing cannabis and controlled substances or for public

5    Services.
6        (3) 15% shall be distributed to the Attorney General
7    and the State's Attorney, if any, participating in the
8    prosecution resulting in the forfeiture. The distribution
9    shall bear a reasonable relationship to the degree of

7    Sec. 50. Sexual assault evidence tracking system.
8    (a) On June 26, 2018, the Sexual Assault Evidence Tracking
9and Reporting Commission issued its report as required under
10Section 43. It is the intention of the General Assembly in
11enacting the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 101st
12General Assembly to implement the recommendations of the
13Sexual Assault Evidence Tracking and Reporting Commission set
14forth in that report in a manner that utilizes the current
15resources of law enforcement agencies whenever possible and
16that is adaptable to changing technologies and circumstances.
17    (a-1) Due to the complex nature of a statewide tracking
18system for sexual assault evidence and to ensure all
19stakeholders, including, but not limited to, victims and their
20designees, health care facilities, law enforcement agencies,
21forensic labs, and State's Attorneys offices are integrated,
22the Commission recommended the purchase of an electronic
23off-the-shelf tracking system. The system must be able to
24communicate with all stakeholders and provide real-time
25information to a victim or his or her designee on the status of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2096 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1the evidence that was collected. The sexual assault evidence
2tracking system must:
3        (1) be electronic and web-based;
4        (2) be administered by the Illinois Department of
5    State Police;
6        (3) have help desk availability at all times;
7        (4) ensure the law enforcement agency contact
8    information is accessible to the victim or his or her
9    designee through the tracking system, so there is contact
10    information for questions;
11        (5) have the option for external connectivity to
12    evidence management systems, laboratory information
13    management systems, or other electronic data systems
14    already in existence by any of the stakeholders to
15    minimize additional burdens or tasks on stakeholders;
16        (6) allow for the victim to opt in for automatic
17    notifications when status updates are entered in the
18    system, if the system allows;
19        (7) include at each step in the process, a brief
20    explanation of the general purpose of that step and a
21    general indication of how long the step may take to
22    complete;
23        (8) contain minimum fields for tracking and reporting,
24    as follows:
25            (A) for sexual assault evidence kit vendor fields:
26                (i) each sexual evidence kit identification

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2097 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1            number provided to each health care facility; and
2                (ii) the date the sexual evidence kit was sent
3            to the health care facility.
4            (B) for health care facility fields:
5                (i) the date sexual assault evidence was
6            collected; and
7                (ii) the date notification was made to the law
8            enforcement agency that the sexual assault
9            evidence was collected.
10            (C) for law enforcement agency fields:
11                (i) the date the law enforcement agency took
12            possession of the sexual assault evidence from the
13            health care facility, another law enforcement
14            agency, or victim if he or she did not go through a
15            health care facility;
16                (ii) the law enforcement agency complaint
17            number;
18                (iii) if the law enforcement agency that takes
19            possession of the sexual assault evidence from a
20            health care facility is not the law enforcement
21            agency with jurisdiction in which the offense
22            occurred, the date when the law enforcement agency
23            notified the law enforcement agency having
24            jurisdiction that the agency has sexual assault
25            evidence required under subsection (c) of Section
26            20 of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act;

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2098 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1                (iv) an indication if the victim consented for
2            analysis of the sexual assault evidence;
3                (v) if the victim did not consent for analysis
4            of the sexual assault evidence, the date on which
5            the law enforcement agency is no longer required
6            to store the sexual assault evidence;
7                (vi) a mechanism for the law enforcement
8            agency to document why the sexual assault evidence
9            was not submitted to the laboratory for analysis,
10            if applicable;
11                (vii) the date the law enforcement agency
12            received the sexual assault evidence results back
13            from the laboratory;
14                (viii) the date statutory notifications were
15            made to the victim or documentation of why
16            notification was not made; and
17                (ix) the date the law enforcement agency
18            turned over the case information to the State's
19            Attorney office, if applicable.
20            (D) for forensic lab fields:
21                (i) the date the sexual assault evidence is
22            received from the law enforcement agency by the
23            forensic lab for analysis;
24                (ii) the laboratory case number, visible to
25            the law enforcement agency and State's Attorney
26            office; and

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2099 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1                (iii) the date the laboratory completes the
2            analysis of the sexual assault evidence.
3            (E) for State's Attorney office fields:
4                (i) the date the State's Attorney office
5            received the sexual assault evidence results from
6            the laboratory, if applicable; and
7                (ii) the disposition or status of the case.
8    (a-2) The Commission also developed guidelines for secure
9electronic access to a tracking system for a victim, or his or
10her designee to access information on the status of the
11evidence collected. The Commission recommended minimum
12guidelines in order to safeguard confidentiality of the
13information contained within this statewide tracking system.
14These recommendations are that the sexual assault evidence
15tracking system must:
16        (1) allow for secure access, controlled by an
17    administering body who can restrict user access and allow
18    different permissions based on the need of that particular
19    user and health care facility users may include
20    out-of-state border hospitals, if authorized by the
21    Illinois Department of State Police to obtain this State's
22    kits from vendor;
23        (2) provide for users, other than victims, the ability
24    to provide for any individual who is granted access to the
25    program their own unique user ID and password;
26        (3) provide for a mechanism for a victim to enter the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2100 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    system and only access his or her own information;
2        (4) enable a sexual assault evidence to be tracked and
3    identified through the unique sexual assault evidence kit
4    identification number or barcode that the vendor applies
5    to each sexual assault evidence kit per the Illinois
6    Department of State Police's contract;
7        (5) have a mechanism to inventory unused kits provided
8    to a health care facility from the vendor;
9        (6) provide users the option to either scan the bar
10    code or manually enter the sexual assault evidence kit
11    number into the tracking program;
12        (7) provide a mechanism to create a separate unique
13    identification number for cases in which a sexual evidence
14    kit was not collected, but other evidence was collected;
15        (8) provide the ability to record date, time, and user
16    ID whenever any user accesses the system;
17        (9) provide for real-time entry and update of data;
18        (10) contain report functions including:
19            (A) health care facility compliance with
20        applicable laws;
21            (B) law enforcement agency compliance with
22        applicable laws;
23            (C) law enforcement agency annual inventory of
24        cases to each State's Attorney office; and
25            (D) forensic lab compliance with applicable laws;
26        and

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2101 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (11) provide automatic notifications to the law
2    enforcement agency when:
3            (A) a health care facility has collected sexual
4        assault evidence;
5            (B) unreleased sexual assault evidence that is
6        being stored by the law enforcement agency has met the
7        minimum storage requirement by law; and
8            (C) timelines as required by law are not met for a
9        particular case, if not otherwise documented.
10    (b) The Illinois State Police Department shall develop

4the plan. The report may also include unsupervised on-grounds
5privileges, off-grounds privileges (with or without escort by
6personnel of the Department of Human Services), home visits
7and participation in work programs, but only where such

11the defendant's satisfactory progress in treatment and the
12safety of the defendant and others.
13    (c) Every defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of

HB3655 Engrossed- 2210 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1for the cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses
2related to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and
3all costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring,
4involved in a successful probation program for the county. The
5concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
6administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
7of the circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
8order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the
9circuit court shall pay all moneys collected from these fees
10to the county treasurer who shall use the moneys collected to
11defray the costs of drug testing, alcohol testing, and
12electronic monitoring. The county treasurer shall deposit the
13fees collected in the county working cash fund under Section
146-27001 or Section 6-29002 of the Counties Code, as the case
15may be. The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
16by administrative order establish a program for electronic
17monitoring of offenders, in which a vendor supplies and
18monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring device,
19and collects the fees on behalf of the county. The program
20shall include provisions for indigent offenders and the
21collection of unpaid fees. The program shall not unduly burden
22the offender and shall be subject to review by the Chief Judge.
23    The Chief Judge of the circuit court may suspend any

25damage to any device.
26    (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2211 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
2concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers
3of jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The
4court to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have
5the same powers as the sentencing court. The probation
6department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
7transferred, or which has agreed to provide supervision, may
8impose probation fees upon receiving the transferred offender,
9as provided in subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as
10defined in Section 9b of the Probation and Probation Officers
11Act, the probation department from the original sentencing
12court shall retain all probation fees collected prior to the
13transfer. After the transfer, all probation fees shall be paid
14to the probation department within the circuit to which
15jurisdiction has been transferred.
16    (i) The court shall impose upon an offender sentenced to
17probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
18after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the

20January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or
21conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee
22of $50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
23supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
24court, unless after determining the inability of the person
25sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
26community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2212 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
2in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
3and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
4the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
5an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
6court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
7clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
8shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
9treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
10under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers
11Act.
12    A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
13subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
14court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
15judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an
16offender's ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a
17probation fee, up to $5 of that fee collected per month may be
18used to provide services to crime victims and their families.
19    The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
20offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
21re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
22with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
23Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
24offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
25offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
26probation department, or has been transferred either under

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2213 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate
2compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the
3department supervising the offender, based on the offender's
4ability to pay.
5    Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee
6under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616.
7This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the
893rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
9increase.
10    (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
11of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
12felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
13Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation
14department has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined
15in the Sex Offender Management Board Act), the court or the
16probation department shall assess additional fees to pay for
17all costs of treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and
18treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that
19offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or
20under a payment plan.
21    (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
22violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
23Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
24violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
25provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and

3conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
4the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
5court or probation department has determined to be sexually
6motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
7shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
8indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
9be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
10required by the court or the probation department.
11    (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to

4matters where the county or State is an interested party,
5process may be served by a special investigator appointed by
6the State's Attorney of the county, as defined in Section
73-9005 of the Counties Code. A sheriff of a county with a

9the certificate issued to the private detective agency by the
10Department of Professional Regulation under the Private
11Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint
12Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004. A private detective or
13private detective agency shall send, one time only, a copy of
14his, her, or its individual private detective license or
15private detective agency certificate to the county sheriff in
16each county in which the detective or detective agency or his,

20Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, a new
21copy of the current license or certificate need not be sent to
22the sheriff. A private detective agency shall maintain a list

6    the person's application for a Permanent Employee
7    Registration Card is pending;
8        (3) a person employed by a private detective agency
9    who is exempt from a Permanent Employee Registration Card
10    requirement because the person is a current peace officer;
11    and
12        (4) a private detective who works for a private
13    detective agency as an employee.
14A detective agency shall maintain this list and forward it to
15any sheriff's department that requests this list within 5
16business days after the receipt of the request.
17    (b) Summons may be served upon the defendants wherever
18they may be found in the State, by any person authorized to
19serve process. An officer may serve summons in his or her
20official capacity outside his or her county, but fees for
21mileage outside the county of the officer cannot be taxed as
22costs. The person serving the process in a foreign county may
23make return by mail.
24    (c) If any sheriff, coroner, or other person to whom any
25process is delivered, neglects or refuses to make return of
26the same, the plaintiff may petition the court to enter a rule

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2311 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

2return of the process on a day to be fixed by the court, or to
3show cause on that day why that person should not be attached
4for contempt of the court. The plaintiff shall then cause a
5written notice of the rule to be served on the sheriff,
6coroner, or other person. If good and sufficient cause be not
7shown to excuse the officer or other person, the court shall

11investigator appointed by the State's Attorney, the court may
12tax the fee of the sheriff, coroner, or State's Attorney's
13special investigator as costs in the proceeding. If process is
14served by a private person or entity, the court may establish a
15fee therefor and tax such fee as costs in the proceedings.
16    (e) In addition to the powers stated in Section 8.1a of the
17Housing Authorities Act, in counties with a population of
183,000,000 or more inhabitants, members of a housing authority
19police force may serve process for eviction actions commenced
20by that housing authority and may execute eviction orders for
21that housing authority.

5    Sec. 2-702. Petition for a certificate of innocence that
6the petitioner was innocent of all offenses for which he or she
7was incarcerated.
8    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that innocent
9persons who have been wrongly convicted of crimes in Illinois
10and subsequently imprisoned have been frustrated in seeking
11legal redress due to a variety of substantive and technical
12obstacles in the law and that such persons should have an
13available avenue to obtain a finding of innocence so that they
14may obtain relief through a petition in the Court of Claims.
15The General Assembly further finds misleading the current
16legal nomenclature which compels an innocent person to seek a
17pardon for being wrongfully incarcerated. It is the intent of
18the General Assembly that the court, in exercising its
19discretion as permitted by law regarding the weight and
20admissibility of evidence submitted pursuant to this Section,
21shall, in the interest of justice, give due consideration to
22difficulties of proof caused by the passage of time, the death
23or unavailability of witnesses, the destruction of evidence or
24other factors not caused by such persons or those acting on
25their behalf.

2one or more felonies by the State of Illinois which he or she
3did not commit may, under the conditions hereinafter provided,
4file a petition for certificate of innocence in the circuit
5court of the county in which the person was convicted. The
6petition shall request a certificate of innocence finding that
7the petitioner was innocent of all offenses for which he or she
8was incarcerated.
9    (c) In order to present the claim for certificate of
10innocence of an unjust conviction and imprisonment, the
11petitioner must attach to his or her petition documentation
12demonstrating that:
13        (1) he or she has been convicted of one or more
14    felonies by the State of Illinois and subsequently
15    sentenced to a term of imprisonment, and has served all or
16    any part of the sentence; and

16    (a) If any person who is a resident of this State and has
17resided in this State for 6 months desires to change his or her
18name and to assume another name by which to be afterwards
19called and known, the person may file a petition in the circuit
20court of the county wherein he or she resides praying for that
21relief.
22    (b) The filing of a petition in accordance with this

4completion and discharge from his or her sentence. A person
5who has been convicted of identity theft, aggravated identity
6theft, felony or misdemeanor criminal sexual abuse when the
7victim of the offense at the time of its commission is under 18
8years of age, felony or misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a

12under the Sex Offender Registration Act in this State or any
13other state who has not been pardoned shall not be permitted to
14file a petition for a name change in the courts of Illinois.
15    (c) A petitioner may include his or her spouse and adult
16unmarried children, with their consent, and his or her minor
17children where it appears to the court that it is for their
18best interest, in the petition and prayer, and the court's
19order shall then include the spouse and children. Whenever any
20minor has resided in the family of any person for the space of
213 years and has been recognized and known as an adopted child
22in the family of that person, the application herein provided
23for may be made by the person having that minor in his or her
24family.
25    An order shall be entered as to a minor only if the court
26finds by clear and convincing evidence that the change is

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2319 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1necessary to serve the best interest of the child. In
2determining the best interest of a minor child under this

8    wishes. The court may interview the child in chambers to
9    ascertain the child's wishes with respect to the change of
10    name. Counsel shall be present at the interview unless
11    otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The court shall
12    cause a court reporter to be present who shall make a
13    complete record of the interview instantaneously to be
14    part of the record in the case.
15        (3) The interaction and interrelationship of the child
16    with his or her parents or persons acting as parents who
17    have physical custody of the child, step-parents,
18    siblings, step-siblings, or any other person who may
19    significantly affect the child's best interest.
20        (4) The child's adjustment to his or her home, school,
21    and community.
22    (d) If it appears to the court that the conditions and
23requirements under this Article have been complied with and
24that there is no reason why the prayer should not be granted,
25the court, by an order to be entered of record, may direct and
26provide that the name of that person be changed in accordance

4    (740 ILCS 21/80)
5    Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
6    (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
7victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
8provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the
9requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100
10on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a
11stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the
12respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
13not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require
14physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification
15and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in
16accordance with this Act.
17    (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
18the following:
19        (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
20    or committing stalking;
21        (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
22    the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
23    court;
24        (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2327 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
2    of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
3    daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
4    frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
5    the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
6    residence, school, or place of employment only if the
7    respondent has been provided actual notice of the
8    opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
9        (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
10    Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
11    firearms; and
12        (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
13    to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
14    specifically named by the court.
15    (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
16same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or
17high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact
18order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the
19act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
20the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
21petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
22availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
23school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
24respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
25disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
26respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2328 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2329 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
2In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
3respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
4respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
5program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
6respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
7associated with the transfer or change.
8    (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
9custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
10refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
11respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
12orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
13parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
14responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
15the change of school by the respondent.
16    (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or
17private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
18or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
19non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
20    (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
21custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
22for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
23this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
24this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
25directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
26conduct.

3    (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
4    (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
5respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
6Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
7confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
8Card and immediately return the card to the Illinois
9Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
10Office.

6    Sec. 3. (a) The Illinois State Police Department or the
7State's Attorney or any citizen of the county in which a
8nuisance exists may file a complaint in the name of the People
9of the State of Illinois to enjoin all persons from
10maintaining or permitting such nuisance, to abate the same and
11to enjoin the use of any such place for the period of one year.
12    (b) Upon the filing of a complaint by the State's Attorney
13or the Illinois State Police Department in which the complaint
14states that irreparable injury, loss or damage will result to
15the People of the State of Illinois, the court shall enter a
16temporary restraining order without notice enjoining the
17maintenance of such nuisance, upon testimony under oath,
18affidavit, or verified complaint containing facts sufficient,
19if sustained, to justify the court in entering a preliminary
20injunction upon a hearing after notice. Every such temporary
21restraining order entered without notice shall be endorsed
22with the date and hour of entry of the order, shall be filed of
23record, and shall expire by its terms within such time after
24entry, not to exceed 10 days as fixed by the court, unless the
25temporary restraining order, for good cause, is extended for a

1like period or unless the party against whom the order is
2directed consents that it may be extended for a longer period.
3The reason for extension shall be shown in the order. In case a
4temporary restraining order is entered without notice, the
5motion for a permanent injunction shall be set down for
6hearing at the earliest possible time and takes precedence
7over all matters except older matters of the same character,
8and when the motion comes on for hearing, the Illinois State
9Police Department or State's Attorney, as the case may be,
10shall proceed with the application for a permanent injunction,
11and, if he does not do so, the court shall dissolve the
12temporary restraining order. On 2 days' notice to the Illinois
13State Police Department or State's Attorney, as the case may
14be, the defendant may appear and move the dissolution or
15modification of such temporary restraining order and in that
16event the court shall proceed to hear and determine such
17motion as expeditiously as the ends of justice require.
18    (c) Upon the filing of the complaint by a citizen or the
19Illinois State Police Department or the State's Attorney (in
20cases in which the Illinois State Police Department or State's
21Attorney does not request injunctive relief without notice) in
22the circuit court, the court, if satisfied that the nuisance
23complained of exists, shall allow a temporary restraining
24order, with bond unless the application is filed by the
25Illinois State Police Department or State's Attorney, in such
26amount as the court may determine, enjoining the defendant

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2340 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1from maintaining any such nuisance within the jurisdiction of
2the court granting the injunctive relief. However, no such
3injunctive relief shall be granted, except on behalf of an
4owner or agent, unless it be made to appear to the satisfaction
5of the court that the owner or agent of such place knew or had
6been personally served with a notice signed by the plaintiff
7and that such notice has been served upon such owner or such
8agent of such place at least 5 days prior thereto, that such
9place, specifically describing the same, was being so used,
10naming the date or dates of its being so used, and that such
11owner or agent had failed to abate such nuisance, or that upon
12diligent inquiry such owner or agent could not be found for the
13service of such preliminary notice. The lessee, if any, of
14such place shall be made a party defendant to such petition. If
15the property owner is a corporation and the Illinois State
16Police Department or the State's Attorney sends the
17preliminary notice to the corporate address registered with
18the Secretary of State, such action shall create a rebuttable
19presumption that the parties have acted with due diligence and
20the court may grant injunctive relief.
21    (d) In all cases in which the complaint is filed by a
22citizen, such complaint shall be verified.

7    for consenting.
8        (2) A copy of the complaint and written disclosure of
9    substantially all material evidence and information the
10    person possesses shall be served on the State. The
11    complaint shall be filed in camera, shall remain under
12    seal for at least 60 days, and shall not be served on the
13    defendant until the court so orders. The State may elect
14    to intervene and proceed with the action within 60 days
15    after it receives both the complaint and the material
16    evidence and information.
17        (3) The State may, for good cause shown, move the
18    court for extensions of the time during which the
19    complaint remains under seal under paragraph (2). Any such
20    motions may be supported by affidavits or other
21    submissions in camera. The defendant shall not be required
22    to respond to any complaint filed under this Section until
23    20 days after the complaint is unsealed and served upon
24    the defendant.
25        (4) Before the expiration of the 60-day period or any

HB3655 Engrossed- 2355 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1            (A) proceed with the action, in which case the
2        action shall be conducted by the State; or

4        the action, in which case the person bringing the
5        action shall have the right to conduct the action.
6        (5) When a person brings an action under this
7    subsection (b), no person other than the State may
8    intervene or bring a related action based on the facts
9    underlying the pending action.
10    (c) Rights of the parties to Qui Tam actions.
11        (1) If the State proceeds with the action, it shall
12    have the primary responsibility for prosecuting the
13    action, and shall not be bound by an act of the person
14    bringing the action. Such person shall have the right to
15    continue as a party to the action, subject to the
16    limitations set forth in paragraph (2).
17        (2)(A) The State may dismiss the action
18    notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
19    the action if the person has been notified by the State of
20    the filing of the motion and the court has provided the
21    person with an opportunity for a hearing on the motion.
22        (B) The State may settle the action with the defendant
23    notwithstanding the objections of the person initiating
24    the action if the court determines, after a hearing, that

HB3655 Engrossed- 2356 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    such hearing may be held in camera.
2        (C) Upon a showing by the State that unrestricted
3    participation during the course of the litigation by the
4    person initiating the action would interfere with or
5    unduly delay the State's prosecution of the case, or would
6    be repetitious, irrelevant, or for purposes of harassment,
7    the court may, in its discretion, impose limitations on
8    the person's participation, such as:
9            (i) limiting the number of witnesses the person
10        may call:
11            (ii) limiting the length of the testimony of such
12        witnesses;
13            (iii) limiting the person's cross-examination of
14        witnesses; or
15            (iv) otherwise limiting the participation by the
16        person in the litigation.
17        (D) Upon a showing by the defendant that unrestricted
18    participation during the course of the litigation by the
19    person initiating the action would be for purposes of
20    harassment or would cause the defendant undue burden or
21    unnecessary expense, the court may limit the participation
22    by the person in the litigation.
23        (3) If the State elects not to proceed with the
24    action, the person who initiated the action shall have the
25    right to conduct the action. If the State so requests, it
26    shall be served with copies of all pleadings filed in the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2357 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    action and shall be supplied with copies of all deposition
2    transcripts (at the State's expense). When a person
3    proceeds with the action, the court, without limiting the
4    status and rights of the person initiating the action, may
5    nevertheless permit the State to intervene at a later date
6    upon a showing of good cause.
7        (4) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
8    upon a showing by the State that certain actions of
9    discovery by the person initiating the action would
10    interfere with the State's investigation or prosecution of
11    a criminal or civil matter arising out of the same facts,
12    the court may stay such discovery for a period of not more
13    than 60 days. Such a showing shall be conducted in camera.
14    The court may extend the 60-day period upon a further
15    showing in camera that the State has pursued the criminal
16    or civil investigation or proceedings with reasonable
17    diligence and any proposed discovery in the civil action
18    will interfere with the ongoing criminal or civil
19    investigation or proceedings.
20        (5) Notwithstanding subsection (b), the State may
21    elect to pursue its claim through any alternate remedy
22    available to the State, including any administrative
23    proceeding to determine a civil money penalty. If any such
24    alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the
25    person initiating the action shall have the same rights in
26    such proceeding as such person would have had if the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2358 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    action had continued under this Section. Any finding of
2    fact or conclusion of law made in such other proceeding
3    that has become final shall be conclusive on all parties
4    to an action under this Section. For purposes of the
5    preceding sentence, a finding or conclusion is final if it
6    has been finally determined on appeal to the appropriate
7    court, if all time for filing such an appeal with respect
8    to the finding or conclusion has expired, or if the
9    finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
10    (d) Award to Qui Tam plaintiff.
11        (1) If the State proceeds with an action brought by a
12    person under subsection (b), such person shall, subject to
13    the second sentence of this paragraph, receive at least
14    15% but not more than 25% of the proceeds of the action or
15    settlement of the claim, depending upon the extent to
16    which the person substantially contributed to the
17    prosecution of the action. Where the action is one which
18    the court finds to be based primarily on disclosures of
19    specific information (other than information provided by
20    the person bringing the action) relating to allegations or
21    transactions in a criminal, civil, or administrative
22    hearing, in a legislative, administrative, or Auditor
23    General's report, hearing, audit, or investigation, or
24    from the news media, the court may award such sums as it
25    considers appropriate, but in no case more than 10% of the
26    proceeds, taking into account the significance of the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2359 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    information and the role of the person bringing the action
2    in advancing the case to litigation. Any payment to a
3    person under the first or second sentence of this
4    paragraph (1) shall be made from the proceeds. Any such
5    person shall also receive an amount for reasonable
6    expenses which the court finds to have been necessarily
7    incurred, plus reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The
8    State shall also receive an amount for reasonable expenses
9    which the court finds to have been necessarily incurred by
10    the Attorney General, including reasonable attorneys' fees
11    and costs. All such expenses, fees, and costs shall be
12    awarded against the defendant. The court may award amounts
13    from the proceeds of an action or settlement that it
14    considers appropriate to any governmental entity or
15    program that has been adversely affected by a defendant.
16    The Attorney General, if necessary, shall direct the State
17    Treasurer to make a disbursement of funds as provided in
18    court orders or settlement agreements.
19        (2) If the State does not proceed with an action under
20    this Section, the person bringing the action or settling
21    the claim shall receive an amount which the court decides
22    is reasonable for collecting the civil penalty and
23    damages. The amount shall be not less than 25% and not more
24    than 30% of the proceeds of the action or settlement and
25    shall be paid out of such proceeds. Such person shall also
26    receive an amount for reasonable expenses which the court

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2360 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    finds to have been necessarily incurred, plus reasonable
2    attorneys' fees and costs. All such expenses, fees, and
3    costs shall be awarded against the defendant. The court
4    may award amounts from the proceeds of an action or
5    settlement that it considers appropriate to any
6    governmental entity or program that has been adversely
7    affected by a defendant. The Attorney General, if
8    necessary, shall direct the State Treasurer to make a
9    disbursement of funds as provided in court orders or
10    settlement agreements.
11        (3) Whether or not the State proceeds with the action,
12    if the court finds that the action was brought by a person
13    who planned and initiated the violation of Section 3 upon
14    which the action was brought, then the court may, to the
15    extent the court considers appropriate, reduce the share
16    of the proceeds of the action which the person would
17    otherwise receive under paragraph (1) or (2) of this
18    subsection (d), taking into account the role of that
19    person in advancing the case to litigation and any
20    relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If the
21    person bringing the action is convicted of criminal
22    conduct arising from his or her role in the violation of
23    Section 3, that person shall be dismissed from the civil
24    action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of
25    the action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right
26    of the State to continue the action, represented by the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2361 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    Attorney General.
2        (4) If the State does not proceed with the action and
3    the person bringing the action conducts the action, the
4    court may award to the defendant its reasonable attorneys'
5    fees and expenses if the defendant prevails in the action
6    and the court finds that the claim of the person bringing
7    the action was clearly frivolous, clearly vexatious, or
8    brought primarily for purposes of harassment.
9    (e) Certain actions barred.
10        (1) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
11    brought by a former or present member of the Guard under
12    subsection (b) of this Section against a member of the
13    Guard arising out of such person's service in the Guard.
14        (2)(A) No court shall have jurisdiction over an action
15    brought under subsection (b) against a member of the
16    General Assembly, a member of the judiciary, or an exempt
17    official if the action is based on evidence or information
18    known to the State when the action was brought.

20    official" means any of the following officials in State
21    service: directors of departments established under the

23    General, the Assistant Adjutant General, the Director of

1    Senate.
2        (3) In no event may a person bring an action under
3    subsection (b) which is based upon allegations or
4    transactions which are the subject of a civil suit or an
5    administrative civil money penalty proceeding in which the
6    State is already a party.
7        (4)(A) The court shall dismiss an action or claim
8    under this Section, unless opposed by the State, if
9    substantially the same allegations or transactions as
10    alleged in the action or claim were publicly disclosed:
11            (i) in a criminal, civil, or administrative
12        hearing in which the State or its agent is a party;
13            (ii) in a State legislative, State Auditor
14        General, or other State report, hearing, audit, or
15        investigation; or
16            (iii) from the news media,
17    unless the action is brought by the Attorney General or

21    source" means an individual who either (i) prior to a
22    public disclosure under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph

3    Sec. 6. A. Investigation; all cases. Within 10 days after
4the filing of a petition for the adoption or standby adoption
5of a child other than a related child, the court shall appoint
6a child welfare agency approved by the Department of Children
7and Family Services, or a person deemed competent by the
8court, or in Cook County the Court Services Division of the
9Cook County Department of Public Aid, or the Department of
10Children and Family Services if the court determines that no
11child welfare agency is available or that the petitioner is
12financially unable to pay for the investigation, to
13investigate accurately, fully and promptly, the allegations
14contained in the petition; the character, reputation, health
15and general standing in the community of the petitioners; the
16religious faith of the petitioners and, if ascertainable, of
17the child sought to be adopted; and whether the petitioners
18are proper persons to adopt the child and whether the child is
19a proper subject of adoption. The investigation required under
20this Section shall include a fingerprint based criminal
21background check with a review of fingerprints by the Illinois
22State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Each
23petitioner subject to this investigation, shall submit his or
24her fingerprints to the Illinois Department of State Police in
25the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois Department of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2371 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1State Police. These fingerprints shall be checked against the
2fingerprint records now and hereafter filed in the Illinois
3Department of State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation
4criminal history records databases. The Illinois Department of
5State Police shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal
6history records check, which shall be deposited in the State
7Police Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of
8the records check. The criminal background check required by
9this Section shall include a listing of when, where and by whom
10the criminal background check was prepared. The criminal
11background check required by this Section shall not be more
12than two years old.
13    Neither a clerk of the circuit court nor a judge may
14require that a criminal background check or fingerprint review
15be filed with, or at the same time as, an initial petition for
16adoption.
17    B. Investigation; foreign-born child. In the case of a
18child born outside the United States or a territory thereof,
19in addition to the investigation required under subsection (A)
20of this Section, a post-placement investigation shall be
21conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Child
22Care Act of 1969, the Interstate Compact on the Placement of
23Children, and the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000.
24    The requirements of a post-placement investigation shall
25be deemed to have been satisfied if a valid final order or
26judgment of adoption has been entered by a court of competent

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2372 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1jurisdiction in a country other than the United States or a
2territory thereof with respect to such child and the
3petitioners.
4    C. Report of investigation. The court shall determine
5whether the costs of the investigation shall be charged to the
6petitioners. The information obtained as a result of such
7investigation shall be presented to the court in a written
8report. The results of the criminal background check required
9under subsection (A) shall be provided to the court for its
10review. The court may, in its discretion, weigh the
11significance of the results of the criminal background check
12against the entirety of the background of the petitioners. The
13Court, in its discretion, may accept the report of the
14investigation previously made by a licensed child welfare
15agency, if made within one year prior to the entry of the
16judgment. Such report shall be treated as confidential and
17withheld from inspection unless findings adverse to the
18petitioners or to the child sought to be adopted are contained
19therein, and in that event the court shall inform the
20petitioners of the relevant portions pertaining to the adverse
21findings. In no event shall any facts set forth in the report
22be considered at the hearing of the proceeding, unless
23established by competent evidence. The report shall be filed
24with the record of the proceeding. If the file relating to the
25proceeding is not impounded, the report shall be impounded by
26the clerk of the court and shall be made available for

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2373 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1inspection only upon order of the court.
2    D. Related adoption. Such investigation shall not be made
3when the petition seeks to adopt a related child or an adult
4unless the court, in its discretion, shall so order. In such an
5event the court may appoint a person deemed competent by the
6court.

1is amended by changing Sections 214, 217, 220, 222, 222.5, and
2302 as follows:
 
3    (750 ILCS 60/214)  (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
4    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
5    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
6has been abused by a family or household member or that
7petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused,
8neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of
9protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
10shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
11requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
12Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
13orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not
14be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
15respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
16not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
17physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
18Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
19be in accordance with this Act.
20    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
21an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
22this Section and one of the following Sections, as
23appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on
24interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
25remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2377 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
2        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
3    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
4    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
5    abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
6    defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
7    defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
8    such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
9    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
10    prohibited.
11        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
12    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
13    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
14    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
15    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
16    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
17    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
18    limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
19    Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
20    Marriage Act.
21            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
22        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
23        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
24        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
25        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
26        person or entity other than the opposing party that

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2378 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2379 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2380 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2381 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2382 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2383 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
2    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
3    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
4    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
5    in loco parentis.
6        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
7    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
8    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
9    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
10    minor child's best interest.
11        (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
12    significant decision-making. Award temporary
13    decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
14    with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
15    of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
16    this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
17    Enforcement Act.
18        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
19    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
20    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
21    awarding temporary significant decision-making
22    responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
23    best interest.
24        (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
25    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
26    physical care or allocates temporary significant

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2384 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2385 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2386 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2387 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2388 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2389 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
2    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
3    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
4    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
5    well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
6        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
7            (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
8        protection was issued from possessing any firearms
9        during the duration of the order if the order:
10                (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
11            person received actual notice, and at which such
12            person had an opportunity to participate;
13                (2) restrains such person from harassing,
14            stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
15            such person or child of such intimate partner or
16            person, or engaging in other conduct that would
17            place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
18            bodily injury to the partner or child; and
19                (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
20            represents a credible threat to the physical
21            safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
22            by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
23            attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
24            against such intimate partner or child that would
25            reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
26        Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2390 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        possession of the respondent, except as provided in
2        subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
3        turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
4        local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
5        the card to the Illinois Department of State Police
6        Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office for
7        safekeeping. The court shall issue a warrant for
8        seizure of any firearm in the possession of the
9        respondent, to be kept by the local law enforcement
10        agency for safekeeping, except as provided in
11        subsection (b). The period of safekeeping shall be for
12        the duration of the order of protection. The firearm
13        or firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card,
14        if unexpired, shall at the respondent's request, be
15        returned to the respondent at the end of the order of
16        protection. It is the respondent's responsibility to
17        notify the Illinois Department of State Police Firearm
18        Owner's Identification Card Office.
19            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as
20        defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
21        the court shall order that any firearms used by the
22        respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
23        peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
24        enforcement executive of the agency in which the
25        respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
26        for safekeeping for the duration of the order of

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2391 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        protection.
2            (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
3        if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
4        cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
5        cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
6        retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
7        possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
8        enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
9        enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
10        firearms for training purposes, or for any other
11        application as deemed appropriate by the local law
12        enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned
13        over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to
14        possess firearms, and who does not reside with
15        respondent.
16        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
17    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
18    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
19    under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
20    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
21    minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,
22    and prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
23    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
24    records of the minor child who is in the care of
25    petitioner.
26        (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2392 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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
7    of a family or household member or further abuse, neglect,
8    or exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or
9    to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by
10    the balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by
11    the injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
12    remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
13    subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
14    necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
15        (18) Telephone services.
16            (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
17        (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
18        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
19        service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
20        right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
21        indicated by the petitioner and the financial
22        responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
23        as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph.
24        For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term
25        "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider
26        of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C.

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2393 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2394 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

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

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2395 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        services to residential customers shall provide to the
2        Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
3        an agent for service of orders entered under this
4        paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
5        agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
6        Commission within 30 days of such change.
7            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
8        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
9        each wireless telephone service provider on the
10        Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
11        wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
12        Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
13        is provided and displayed.
14    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
15        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
16    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
17    relevant factors, including but not limited to the
18    following:
19            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
20        consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
21        or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
22        household member, including the concealment of his or
23        her location in order to evade service of process or
24        notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
25        neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
26        of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2396 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        and
2            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
3        abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
4        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
5        improperly separated from the child's primary
6        caretaker.
7        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
8    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
9    court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
10    limited to the following:
11            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
12        adequacy, location and other characteristics of
13        alternate housing for each party and any minor child
14        or dependent adult in the party's care;
15            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
16            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
17        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
18        care, to family, school, church and community.
19        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
20    (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
21    in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
22    set forth the following:
23            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
24        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
25        of this subsection.
26            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2397 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
2        or continued abuse.
3            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
4        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
5        other alleged abused persons.
6        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
7    order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
8    a supplement to making the findings described in
9    paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
10    subsection, may use the following procedure:
11        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
12    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
13    203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
14    examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
15    order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
16    appears from the contents of the petition and the
17    examination of petitioner that the averments are
18    sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
19    the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
20    order of protection.
21        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
22    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
23    marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
24    child relationship has been established under the Illinois
25    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
26    the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2398 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
2    Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
3    Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
4    the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
5    administrative, or other act of another state or
6    territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
7    nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
8    other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
9    Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
10    Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
11    both parties appeared in open court or at an
12    administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
13    admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
14    child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
15    or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
16    temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
17    including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
18    care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
19    of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
20    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
21that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
22a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
23subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
24balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
25include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
26result in hardship to respondent that would substantially

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2399 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
2The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
3    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
4based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
5        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
6    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
7    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
8        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
9        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
10    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
11    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
12    of 2012;
13        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
14    of another;
15        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
16    avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
17    respondent;
18        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
19    household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation
20    by respondent;
21        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
22    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
23    that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
24    or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
25    household members.

4    Sec. 217. Emergency order of protection.
5    (a) Prerequisites. An emergency order of protection shall
6issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this
7subsection for one or more of the requested remedies. For each
8remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
9        (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;
10        (2) The requirements of Section 214 are satisfied; and
11        (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy,
12    regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
13    the respondent, because:
14            (i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
15        described in Section 214(b)(1), "stay away order and
16        additional prohibitions" described in Section
17        214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child"
18        described in Section 214(b)(8), "order to appear"
19        described in Section 214(b)(9), "physical care and
20        possession of the minor child" described in Section
21        214(b)(5), "protection of property" described in
22        Section 214(b)(11), "prohibition of entry" described
23        in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition of firearm
24        possession" described in Section 214(b)(14.5),
25        "prohibition of access to records" described in

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2401 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1        Section 214(b)(15), and "injunctive relief" described
2        in Section 214(b)(16), the harm which that remedy is
3        intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the
4        respondent were given any prior notice, or greater
5        notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
6        efforts to obtain judicial relief;
7            (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive

9        214(b)(2), the immediate danger of further abuse of
10        petitioner by respondent, if petitioner chooses or had
11        chosen to remain in the residence or household while
12        respondent was given any prior notice or greater
13        notice than was actually given of petitioner's efforts
14        to obtain judicial relief, outweighs the hardships to
15        respondent of an emergency order granting petitioner
16        exclusive possession of the residence or household.
17        This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has
18        or could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while
19        prior notice is given to respondent, unless the
20        hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home
21        substantially outweigh those to petitioner;
22            (iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal
23        property" described in Section 214(b)(10), improper
24        disposition of the personal property would be likely
25        to occur if respondent were given any prior notice, or
26        greater notice than was actually given, of

1        petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
2        petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for
3        possession of that property.
4    An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal
5custody, payment of support or monetary compensation remedies.
6    (a-5) When a petition for an emergency order of protection
7is granted, the order shall not be publicly available until
8the order is served on the respondent.
9    (b) Appearance by respondent. If respondent appears in
10court for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
11elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
12order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section.
13Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all
14requirements of Section 218 have been met, the court may issue
15a 30-day interim order.
16    (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
17        (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at
18    the close of business, the petitioner may file a petition
19    for a 21-day emergency order before any available circuit
20    judge or associate judge who may grant relief under this
21    Act. If the judge finds that there is an immediate and
22    present danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner
23    has satisfied the prerequisites set forth in subsection
24    (a) of Section 217, that judge may issue an emergency
25    order of protection.
26        (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2403 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

3    orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an
4    emergency order of protection at all times, whether or not
5    the court is in session.
6        (2) Certification and transfer. The judge who issued
7    the order under this Section shall promptly communicate or
8    convey the order to the sheriff to facilitate the entry of
9    the order into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System by
10    the Illinois Department of State Police pursuant to
11    Section 302. Any order issued under this Section and any
12    documentation in support thereof shall be certified on the
13    next court day to the appropriate court. The clerk of that
14    court shall immediately assign a case number, file the
15    petition, order and other documents with the court, and
16    enter the order of record and file it with the sheriff for
17    service, in accordance with Section 222. Filing the

24    Sec. 220. Duration and extension of orders.
25    (a) Duration of emergency and interim orders. Unless

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2404 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1re-opened or extended or voided by entry of an order of greater
2duration:
3        (1) Emergency orders issued under Section 217 shall be
4    effective for not less than 14 nor more than 21 days;
5        (2) Interim orders shall be effective for up to 30
6    days.
7    (b) Duration of plenary orders.
8        (0.05) A plenary order of protection entered under
9    this Act shall be valid for a fixed period of time, not to
10    exceed two years.
11        (1) A plenary order of protection entered in
12    conjunction with another civil proceeding shall remain in
13    effect as follows:
14            (i) if entered as preliminary relief in that other
15        proceeding, until entry of final judgment in that
16        other proceeding;
17            (ii) if incorporated into the final judgment in
18        that other proceeding, until the order of protection
19        is vacated or modified; or
20            (iii) if incorporated in an order for involuntary
21        commitment, until termination of both the involuntary
22        commitment and any voluntary commitment, or for a
23        fixed period of time not exceeding 2 years.
24        (2) Duration of an order of protection entered in
25    conjunction with a criminal prosecution or delinquency
26    petition shall remain in effect as provided in Section

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2405 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1    112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
2    (c) Computation of time. The duration of an order of
3protection shall not be reduced by the duration of any prior
4order of protection.
5    (d) Law enforcement records. When a plenary order of
6protection expires upon the occurrence of a specified event,
7rather than upon a specified date as provided in subsection
8(b), no expiration date shall be entered in Illinois
9Department of State Police records. To remove the plenary
10order from those records, either party shall request the clerk
11of the court to file a certified copy of an order stating that
12the specified event has occurred or that the plenary order has
13been vacated or modified with the Sheriff, and the Sheriff
14shall direct that law enforcement records shall be promptly
15corrected in accordance with the filed order.
16    (e) Extension of orders. Any emergency, interim or plenary
17order may be extended one or more times, as required, provided
18that the requirements of Section 217, 218 or 219, as
19appropriate, are satisfied. If the motion for extension is
20uncontested and petitioner seeks no modification of the order,
21the order may be extended on the basis of petitioner's motion
22or affidavit stating that there has been no material change in
23relevant circumstances since entry of the order and stating
24the reason for the requested extension. An extension of a
25plenary order of protection may be granted, upon good cause
26shown, to remain in effect until the order of protection is

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2406 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b

1vacated or modified. Extensions may be granted only in open
2court and not under the provisions of subsection (c) of
3Section 217, which applies only when the court is unavailable
4at the close of business or on a court holiday.
5    (f) Termination date. Any order of protection which would
6expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the close of
7the next court business day.
8    (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
9suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for the issuance
10of an order of protection undermines the purposes of this Act.
11This Section shall not be construed as encouraging that
12practice.

17enforcement official or special process server shall promptly
18serve that order upon respondent and file proof of such

23Section 222.10 may serve the respondent with a short form
24notification as provided in Section 222.10. If process has not

7is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in
8accordance with subsection (c) of Section 217 and received by
9the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or
10arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law
11enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the
12respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is
13released from custody. In no event shall detention of the
14respondent or arrestee be extended for hearing on the petition
15for order of protection or receipt of the order issued under
16Section 217 of this Act.

13university, the clerk shall send a certified copy of the order
14to the institution to which the child is transferring.
15    (f) Disclosure by schools. After receiving a certified
16copy of an order of protection that prohibits a respondent's
17access to records, neither a day-care facility, pre-school,
18pre-kindergarten, public or private school, college, or
19university nor its employees shall allow a respondent access
20to a protected child's records or release information in those
21records to the respondent. The school shall file the copy of

14protection that prohibits a respondent's access to records, no
15health care facility or health care practitioner shall allow a
16respondent access to the records of any child who is a
17protected person under the order of protection, or release
18information in those records to the respondent, unless the
19order has expired or the respondent shows a certified copy of
20the court order vacating the corresponding order of protection
21that was sent to the health care facility or practitioner.
22Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require health
23care facilities or health care practitioners to alter
24procedures related to billing and payment. The health care
25facility or health care practitioner may file the copy of the
26order of protection in the records of a child who is a

 

 

HB3655 Engrossed- 2411 -LRB102 16922 WGH 22334 b
