11 | | Section 10. Findings. The General Assembly finds and |
12 | | declares the following: |
13 | | (a) Over 10,000,000 people in the United States experience |
14 | | physical domestic violence by a current or former partner each |
15 | | year. |
16 | | (b) According to the Centers for Disease Control and |
17 | | Prevention of the United States Department of Health and Human |
18 | | Services, domestic violence accounts for 15% of all violent |
19 | | crime in the United States, and in this State, 42% of women and |
20 | | 26% of men have been harmed by an intimate partner in their |
21 | | lifetime. |
22 | | (c) According to the U.S. Department of Justice, |
23 | | nationwide approximately 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 7 men |
24 | | experience severe physical violence resulting from domestic |
25 | | violence by an intimate partner at some point in their |
|
| | 10200SB0685ham001 | - 5 - | LRB102 12042 LNS 26109 a |
|
|
1 | | lifetime. |
2 | | (d) The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority |
3 | | found that while the actual number of domestic violence |
4 | | incidents are underreported, in this State over 100,000 |
5 | | domestic violence offenses were reported to law enforcement |
6 | | each year between 2005 and 2017. Between 400,000 and nearly |
7 | | 600,000 orders of protection were filed each year between 2005 |
8 | | and 2017. |
9 | | (e) From 2001 to 2018, State domestic violence agencies |
10 | | served nearly 800,000 adults and children, at an average of |
11 | | 57,684 clients per year, according to the Illinois Criminal |
12 | | Justice Information Authority. |
13 | | (f) Domestic violence related homicides account for nearly |
14 | | 1 in 5 murders in the United States. According to the National |
15 | | Coalition Against Domestic Violence, female homicide victims |
16 | | are substantially more likely than male homicide victims to |
17 | | have been killed by an intimate partner. One in 3 female murder |
18 | | victims are killed by intimate partners. About 4% of male |
19 | | homicide victims were killed by an intimate partner. |
20 | | Nationwide, 72% of all homicide-suicides involved an intimate |
21 | | partner of which 94% of the murdered victims are women. |
22 | | (g) The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority |
23 | | found that 15% of all homicides in this State are connected to |
24 | | domestic violence, such that at least 130 domestic violence |
25 | | related homicides occurred in this State during 2019. The |
26 | | Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence found that |
|
| | 10200SB0685ham001 | - 6 - | LRB102 12042 LNS 26109 a |
|
|
1 | | domestic violence fatalities occurred across at least 26 |
2 | | counties and included at least 7 children between July 2019 |
3 | | and June 2020. |
4 | | (h) The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority |
5 | | found that the estimated financial impact of domestic violence |
6 | | homicides reported in this State during 2019 would total |
7 | | nearly $1.2 billion. |
8 | | (i) Nearly all familicides involve a history of domestic |
9 | | violence. |
10 | | (j) Effective responses to domestic violence and domestic |
11 | | violence related fatalities involve governmental, social |
12 | | services, and other systems in the community. A coordinated |
13 | | and consistent approach among community and system points of |
14 | | intervention are important to fostering the safety, stability, |
15 | | well-being and healing of survivors, and facilitating |
16 | | meaningful engagement with and sustainable accountability for |
17 | | offenders. |
18 | | (k) Domestic violence transcends boundaries of race, |
19 | | religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, |
20 | | disability, culture, socioeconomic status, and geography. |
21 | | (l) Domestic violence related fatalities and |
22 | | near-fatalities are experienced and responded to differently |
23 | | in historically marginalized communities. The communities and |
24 | | systems that victims, survivors, and offenders engage with in |
25 | | historically marginalized communities are typically those with |
26 | | power imbalances often rooted in systemic racism and |
|
| | 10200SB0685ham001 | - 7 - | LRB102 12042 LNS 26109 a |
|
|
1 | | oppression. Women of color, in particular, face additional |
2 | | barriers and gaps in accessing systemic and community |
3 | | responses aimed at reducing domestic violence related |
4 | | fatalities and near-fatalities. |
5 | | (m) Over 200 domestic violence fatality review teams exist |
6 | | across the United States. Those teams are engaged in systems |
7 | | reform in order to improve the response to domestic violence |
8 | | and reduce and prevent domestic violence related fatalities |
9 | | and near-fatalities. |
10 | | (n) Domestic violence related fatalities and |
11 | | near-fatalities can be prevented, and the use of regional |
12 | | domestic violence fatality review teams under the leadership, |
13 | | guidance, and technical assistance of the Statewide Committee |
14 | | in support of the regional teams is an effort toward such |
15 | | prevention. |
16 | | Section 15. Purposes. The purposes of this Act are: |
17 | | (1) To create the Ad Hoc Statewide Domestic Violence |
18 | | Fatality Review Committee of the Illinois Criminal Justice |
19 | | Information Authority Board to support domestic violence |
20 | | fatality review in this State. |
21 | | (2) To establish regional domestic violence fatality |
22 | | review teams that engage in domestic violence fatality review |
23 | | in this State in order to foster systemic reform that aims to: |
24 | | (A) reduce domestic violence and domestic violence |
25 | | related fatalities and near-fatalities in this State; |
|
| | 10200SB0685ham001 | - 8 - | LRB102 12042 LNS 26109 a |
|
|
1 | | (B) address disparate and discriminatory practices and |
2 | | attitudes in the systems that interact with victims, |
3 | | survivors, and offenders; and |
4 | | (C) reduce the cost on society of domestic violence |
5 | | and domestic violence related fatalities and |
6 | | near-fatalities by: |
7 | | (i) reviewing selected cases eligible for review; |
8 | | (ii) examining how systems have responded to |
9 | | individual experiences; |
10 | | (iii) identifying gaps and barriers to effective |
11 | | and equitable responses that promote safety, |
12 | | stability, well-being, healing, and accountability; |
13 | | and |
14 | | (iv) recommending strategies to improve community |
15 | | and systemic responses to domestic violence in order |
16 | | to foster points of intervention and support that are |
17 | | effective, coordinated, collaborative, consistent, |
18 | | just, and equitable. |

|
|
1 | | publicly available on the Statewide Committee's Internet |
2 | | website. |
3 | | (13) In even numbered years, file a substantive |
4 | | biennial report reviewing and analyzing the data and |
5 | | recommendations collected from the reports of the regional |
6 | | review teams. The biennial report shall include specific |

8 | | other changes to reduce domestic violence and domestic |
9 | | violence related fatalities and near-fatalities. The first |
10 | | report shall be due no later than April 1, 2024, and each |
11 | | subsequent report shall be due no later than April 1 of |
12 | | each even year thereafter. The biennial report shall be |

22 | | near-fatalities, domestic violence fatality review, or |
23 | | other related issues or subject matters, and may invite |
24 | | nonmembers with expertise on the issue or subject matter |
25 | | to serve on the subcommittee or task force. Each |
26 | | subcommittee or task force shall be chaired by a member of |
|
| | 10200SB0685ham001 | - 17 - | LRB102 12042 LNS 26109 a |
|
|
1 | | the Statewide Committee. |

8 | | accordance with notions of fairness, equity, justice, due |
9 | | process, and practicality. |

11 | | domestic violence and domestic violence related fatalities |
12 | | and near-fatalities, and develop mechanisms for |

15 | | (5) Adopt administrative rules in order to implement |
16 | | this Act. |
