    Amends the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986. Provides that if the respondent to an order of protection issued is required to surrender any firearms, the order of protection shall also include an order to surrender firearms. Requires the respondent to surrender any firearms under an order to surrender on the day the respondent is served with the order of protection. Requires the law enforcement agency receiving any surrendered firearms to provide a statement of receipt of any firearm to the respondent and the court. Provides that the failure to surrender any firearm within 24 hours to the individual or law enforcement agency under an order to surrender firearms shall constitute contempt of court for the violation of the terms of the order of protection. Requires the Supreme Court to adopt a form for an order to surrender firearms and update any existing forms for an order of protection to reflect the changes made by the amendatory Act. Provides that if any Firearm Owner's Identification Card of the respondent is surrendered, the period of surrender shall be for the duration of the order of protection. Provides that if any Firearm Owner's Identification Card of the respondent is revoked, the period of surrender shall be for the duration of the order of protection or 2 years, whichever is longer. Restricts a respondent who has surrendered a firearm from purchasing, possessing, or having access to a firearm for the period of surrender. Provides that, upon expiration of the period of surrender, any surrendered firearm may only be returned to a respondent if a judicial officer has signed an order to release firearms stating that the order of protection is no longer in effect and the period of surrender has expired. Makes conforming changes in the Act, the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.

10102-813, eff. 5-13-22; revised 8-24-22.)
 
11    Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
12amended by changing Section 112A-14 as follows:
 
13    (725 ILCS 5/112A-14)  (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
14    Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
15remedies.
16    (a) (Blank).
17    (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
18subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
19shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
20available to petitioner.
21        (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
22    harassment, interference with personal liberty,
23    intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
24    deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has

 

 

SB0044- 5 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 6 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
2        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
3        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
4        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
5        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
6        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
7        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
8        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
9        the accessibility of the residence or household.
10        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
11        have a right to occupancy.
12            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
13        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
14        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
15        that the hardships to respondent substantially
16        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
17        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
18        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
19        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
20        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
21        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
22        household.
23        (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
24    respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
25    person protected by the domestic violence order of
26    protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or

 

 

SB0044- 7 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    remaining present at petitioner's school, place of
2    employment, or other specified places at times when
3    petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
4    balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
5    the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
6    respondent has no right to enter the premises.
7            (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
8        grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
9        residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
10        residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
11        petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
12        may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
13        items of clothing and personal adornment used
14        exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
15        items as the court directs. The right to access shall
16        be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
17        and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
18        party or law enforcement officer.
19            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
20        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
21        middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
22        domestic violence order of protection and providing
23        relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
24        continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
25        the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
26        the petitioner and respondent under federal and State

 

 

SB0044- 8 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 9 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
2        does not take an action required to effectuate a
3        transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
4        When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
5        public, private, or non-public school attended by the
6        petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
7        another attendance center within the respondent's
8        school district or private or non-public school, the
9        school district or private or non-public school shall
10        have sole discretion to determine the attendance
11        center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
12        court order results in a transfer of the minor
13        respondent to another attendance center, a change in
14        the respondent's placement, or a change of the
15        respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
16        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
17        transportation and other costs associated with the
18        transfer or change.
19            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
20        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
21        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
22        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
23        the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
24        another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
25        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
26        transportation and other costs associated with the

 

 

SB0044- 10 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        change of school by the respondent.
2        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
3    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
4    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
5    psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
6    abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
7    agency providing services to elders, program designed for
8    domestic violence abusers, or any other guidance service
9    the court deems appropriate. The court may order the
10    respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
11    to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
12    approved partner abuse intervention program for an
13    assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
14        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
15    In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
16    or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
17    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
18    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
19    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
20    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
21    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
22    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
23    in loco parentis.
24        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
25    Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
26    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to

 

 

SB0044- 11 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    respondent would not be in the minor child's best
2    interest.
3        (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
4    and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
5    temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
6    petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
7    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
8    Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
9    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
10        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
11    Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
12    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
13    significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
14    would not be in the child's best interest.
15        (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
16    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
17    physical care or temporary significant decision-making
18    responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
19    shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
20    minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
21    is likely to do any of the following:
22            (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
23        parenting time;
24            (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
25        abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
26        household members;

 

 

SB0044- 12 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1            (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
2        child; or
3            (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
4        best interests of the minor child.
5        The court shall not be limited by the standards set
6    forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
7    Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
8    time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
9    parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
10    or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
11    time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
12    time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
13    child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
14    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
15    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
16    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
17    in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
18    any member of petitioner's family or household from future
19    abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
20    petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
21    parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
22    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
23    alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
24    be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
25    an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
26    acknowledging accountability to the court.

 

 

SB0044- 13 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 14 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 15 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
2    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
3    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
4    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
5    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
6    otherwise disposing of the animal.
7        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
8    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
9    the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
10    allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
11    a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
12    with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
13    Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
14    of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
15    income to secure payment. An order for child support may
16    be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
17    child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
18    child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
19    decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
20    expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
21    responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
22    significant decision-making responsibility unless
23    otherwise provided in the order.
24        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
25    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
26    the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited

 

 

SB0044- 16 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 17 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
2            (A) A person who is subject to an existing
3        domestic violence order of protection issued under
4        this Code may not lawfully possess weapons or a
5        Firearm Owner's Identification Card under Section 8.2
6        of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and is
7        subject to the requirements of subsection (a-1) of
8        Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
9        1986 and paragraph (14.5) or (14.6) of subsection (b)
10        of Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act
11        of 1986, as applicable.
12            (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
13        respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
14        this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court
15        to be turned over to a person with a valid Firearm
16        Owner's Identification Card for surrender:
17        safekeeping.

20            domestic violence order of protection; or
21                (ii) in the case of a final order, for the
22            duration of the domestic violence order of
23            protection or 2 years, whichever is longer.
24             The court shall issue an order that the
25        respondent comply with Section 9.5 of the Firearm
26        Owners Identification Card Act.

 

 

SB0044- 18 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1            (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
2        defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
3        the court shall order that any firearms used by the
4        respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
5        peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
6        enforcement executive of the agency in which the
7        respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms
8        for surrender: safekeeping for the duration of the
9        domestic violence order of protection.
10                (i) in the case of an ex parte order under
11            Section 112A-17.5, for the duration of the
12            domestic violence order of protection; or
13                (ii) in the case of a final order, for the
14            duration of the domestic violence order of
15            protection or 2 years, whichever is longer.
16            (D) Upon expiration of the period of surrender
17        safekeeping, if the firearms or Firearm Owner's
18        Identification Card cannot be returned to respondent
19        because respondent cannot be located, fails to respond
20        to requests to retrieve the firearms, or is not
21        lawfully eligible to possess a firearm, upon petition
22        from the local law enforcement agency, the court may
23        order the local law enforcement agency to destroy the
24        firearms, use the firearms for training purposes, or
25        for any other application as deemed appropriate by the
26        local law enforcement agency; or that the firearms be

 

 

SB0044- 19 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        turned over to a third party who is lawfully eligible
2        to possess firearms, and who does not reside with
3        respondent.
4        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic
5    violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
6    having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
7    address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
8    of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
9    removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
10    deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from
11    inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain,
12    school or any other records of the minor child who is in
13    the care of petitioner.

20    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse
21    of a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
22    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
23    hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction
24    is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
25    in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
26    designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to

 

 

SB0044- 20 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
2        (18) Telephone services.
3            (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
4        (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
5        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
6        service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
7        right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
8        indicated by the petitioner and the financial
9        responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
10        as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In
11        this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
12        service provider" means a provider of commercial
13        mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The
14        petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone
15        number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or
16        her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve
17        the order on the wireless telephone service provider's
18        agent for service of process provided to the Illinois
19        Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of
20        the following:
21                (i) The name and billing telephone number of
22            the account holder including the name of the
23            wireless telephone service provider that serves
24            the account.
25                (ii) Each telephone number that will be
26            transferred.

 

 

SB0044- 21 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1                (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
2            to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
3            and right to the use of any telephone number
4            transferred under this paragraph.
5            (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
6        terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
7        to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
8        numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
9        paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
10        hours after it receives the order, that one of the
11        following applies:
12                (i) The account holder named in the order has
13            terminated the account.
14                (ii) A difference in network technology would
15            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
16            a network if the transfer occurs.
17                (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
18            other limitation on network or service provision
19            to the petitioner.
20                (iv) Another technological or operational
21            issue would prevent or impair the use of the
22            telephone number if the transfer occurs.
23            (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
24        responsibility for and right to the use of any
25        telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
26        this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes

 

 

SB0044- 22 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        monthly service costs and costs associated with any
2        mobile device associated with the number.
3            (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
4        apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
5        requirements for establishing an account or
6        transferring a number, including requiring the
7        petitioner to provide proof of identification,
8        financial information, and customer preferences.
9            (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
10        wireless telephone service provider is immune from
11        civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
12        with a court order issued under this paragraph.
13            (F) All wireless service providers that provide
14        services to residential customers shall provide to the
15        Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of
16        an agent for service of orders entered under this
17        paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
18        agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
19        Commission within 30 days of such change.
20            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
21        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
22        each wireless telephone service provider on the
23        Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
24        wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
25        Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
26        is provided and displayed.

 

 

SB0044- 23 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
2        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
3    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
4    relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
5    following:
6            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
7        consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
8        petitioner or any family or household member,
9        including the concealment of his or her location in
10        order to evade service of process or notice, and the
11        likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
12        any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
13        household; and
14            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
15        abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
16        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
17        or improperly separated from the child's primary
18        caretaker.
19        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
20    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
21    court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
22    limited to, the following:
23            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
24        adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
25        alternate housing for each party and any minor child
26        or dependent adult in the party's care;

 

 

SB0044- 24 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
2            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
3        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
4        care, to family, school, church, and community.
5        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
6    (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
7    findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
8    a minimum set forth the following:
9            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
10        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
11        of this subsection (c).
12            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
13        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
14        or continued abuse.
15            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
16        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
17        other alleged abused persons.
18        (4) (Blank).
19        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
20    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
21    marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
22    child relationship has been established under the Illinois
23    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
24    the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
25    Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
26    Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,

 

 

SB0044- 25 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 26 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
2        (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
3    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
4    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
5        (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
6        (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
7    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
8    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
9    of 2012;
10        (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
11    of another;
12        (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
13    avoid further abuse by respondent;
14        (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
15    household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
16        (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
17    the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
18    have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
19    or household members.

22    Section 15. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
23amended by changing Sections 214, 217, and 223 as follows:

SB0044- 27 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
2    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
3has been abused by a family or household member or that
4petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused,
5neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of
6protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
7shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
8requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
9Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
10orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not
11be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
12respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
13not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
14physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
15Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
16be in accordance with this Act.
17    (a-1) If the respondent to an order of protection issued
18under subsection (a) is subject to paragraph (14.5) or (14.6)
19of subsection (b), the order of protection shall also include
20an order to surrender firearms. The order to surrender
21firearms shall require the respondent to surrender any firearm
22on the day the respondent is served with the order of
23protection. Upon the respondent surrendering any firearm to
24the appropriate law enforcement agency, the law enforcement
25agency shall provide a statement of receipt of any firearm,
26with a description of any firearm surrendered, to the

 

 

SB0044- 28 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1respondent and the court. This statement of receipt shall be
2considered proof of compliance with an order to surrender
3firearms and may be presented as proof at a hearing.
4    The failure to surrender any firearm within 24 hours to
5the appropriate law enforcement agency under an order to
6surrender firearms shall constitute contempt of court for the
7violation of the terms of the order of protection.
8    Within 30 days of the effective date of this amendatory
9Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Supreme Court shall
10adopt a form for an order to surrender firearms and update any
11existing forms for an order of protection to reflect the
12changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
13Assembly. The form for an order to surrender firearms shall
14also include forms for a declaration of surrender of firearms,
15proof of surrender, declaration of nonsurrender, and order to
16release firearms.
17    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
18an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
19this Section and one of the following Sections, as
20appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on
21interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
22remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to
23other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
24        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
25    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
26    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical

 

 

SB0044- 29 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 30 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
2        residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
3        the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
4        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
5        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
6        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
7        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
8        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
9        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
10        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
11        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
12        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
13        the accessibility of the residence or household.
14        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
15        have a right to occupancy.
16            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
17        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
18        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
19        that the hardships to respondent substantially
20        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
21        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
22        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
23        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
24        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
25        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
26        household.

 

 

SB0044- 31 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 32 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 33 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 34 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        the event the court orders a transfer of the
2        respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
3        or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
4        for transportation and other costs associated with the
5        change of school by the respondent.
6        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
7    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
8    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
9    psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
10    abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
11    agency providing services to elders, program designed for
12    domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
13    the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
14    respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
15    to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
16    approved partner abuse intervention program for an
17    assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
18        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
19    In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
20    or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
21    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
22    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
23    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
24    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
25    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
26    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person

 

 

SB0044- 35 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 36 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 37 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 38 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 39 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 40 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 41 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 42 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        subparagraph subsection (b), shall be revoked or
2        suspended consistent with Section 8.2 of the Firearm
3        Owners Identification Card Act, and the respondent
4        shall be ordered by the court to surrender the card and

13        firearm in the possession of the respondent, to be
14        kept by the local law enforcement agency for
15        safekeeping, except as provided in subsection (b). The
16        period of surrender safekeeping shall be for the
17        duration of the order of protection. If the card is
18        revoked, the period of surrender shall be for the
19        duration of the order of protection or 2 years,
20        whichever is longer. The Illinois State Police shall
21        make notification to the local law enforcement with
22        jurisdiction of the suspension or revocation. The
23        firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification
24        Card, if unexpired, shall at the respondent's request,
25        be returned to the respondent at the end of the order

18        petition from the local law enforcement agency, the
19        court may order the local law enforcement agency to
20        destroy the firearms, use the firearms for training
21        purposes, or for any other application as deemed
22        appropriate by the local law enforcement agency; or

24        is lawfully eligible to possess firearms, and who does
25        not reside with the respondent.

22        respondent.
23            (d) A respondent who has surrendered a firearm
24        under this paragraph shall not purchase a firearm for

13    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
14    under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
15    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a
16    minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to,

20                (i) The account holder named in the order has
21            terminated the account.
22                (ii) A difference in network technology would
23            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
24            a network if the transfer occurs.
25                (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
26            other limitation on network or service provision

1        Commission within 30 days of such change.
2            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
3        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
4        each wireless telephone service provider on the

19        notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
20        neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
21        of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;
22        and
23            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be

3    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
4    court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
5    limited to the following:
6            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
7        adequacy, location and other characteristics of
8        alternate housing for each party and any minor child
9        or dependent adult in the party's care;
10            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
11            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
12        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's

SB0044- 52 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
2    order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
3    a supplement to making the findings described in
4    paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
5    subsection, may use the following procedure:
6        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
7    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
8    203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
9    examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
10    order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
11    appears from the contents of the petition and the
12    examination of petitioner that the averments are
13    sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
14    the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
15    order of protection.
16        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
17    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
18    marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
19    child relationship has been established under the Illinois

24    Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
25    the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
26    administrative, or other act of another state or

 

 

SB0044- 53 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
2    nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
3    other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
4    Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
5    Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
6    both parties appeared in open court or at an
7    administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
8    admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and

10    or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
11    temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
12    including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
13    care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
14    of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
15    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
16that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
17a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
18subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
19balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
20include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
21result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
22outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
23The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
24    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
25based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
26        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless

 

 

SB0044- 54 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
2    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
3        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
4        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
5    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
6    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
7    of 2012;
8        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
9    of another;
10        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
11    avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
12    respondent;
13        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
14    household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation
15    by respondent;
16        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
17    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
18    that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
19    or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
20    household members.

25issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this

 

 

SB0044- 55 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1subsection for one or more of the requested remedies. For each
2remedy requested, the petitioner shall establish that:
3        (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;
4        (2) The requirements of Section 214 are satisfied; and
5        (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy,
6    regardless of prior service of process or of notice upon
7    the respondent, because:
8            (i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
9        described in Section 214(b)(1), "stay away order and
10        additional prohibitions" described in Section
11        214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child"
12        described in Section 214(b)(8), "order to appear"
13        described in Section 214(b)(9), "physical care and
14        possession of the minor child" described in Section
15        214(b)(14.6) 214(b)(5), "protection of property"
16        described in Section 214(b)(11), "prohibition of
17        entry" described in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition
18        of firearm possession" described in Section
19        214(b)(14.5), "prohibition of access to records"
20        described in Section 214(b)(15), and "injunctive
21        relief" described in Section 214(b)(16), the harm
22        which that remedy is intended to prevent would be
23        likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior
24        notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of
25        the petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief;
26            (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive

 

 

SB0044- 56 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

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

 

 

SB0044- 57 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1remedies.
2    (a-1) If the respondent to an emergency order of
3protection issued under subsection (a) for the remedy of
4prohibiting a firearm possession described in paragraph (14.5)
5or (14.6) of subsection (b) of Section 214, the emergency
6order of protection shall also include an order to surrender
7firearms. The order to surrender firearms shall require the
8respondent to surrender any firearm on the day the respondent
9is served with the emergency order of protection. Upon the
10respondent surrendering any firearm to the appropriate law
11enforcement agency, the law enforcement agency shall provide a
12statement of receipt of any firearm, with a description of any
13firearm surrendered, to the respondent and the court. This
14statement of receipt shall be considered proof of compliance
15with an order to surrender firearms and may be presented as
16proof at a hearing.
17    The failure to surrender any firearm within 24 hours to
18the appropriate law enforcement agency under an order to
19surrender firearms shall constitute contempt of court for the
20violation of the terms of the order of protection.
21    Within 30 days of the effective date of this amendatory
22Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Supreme Court shall
23adopt a form for an order to surrender firearms and update any
24existing forms for an emergency order of protection to reflect
25the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
26Assembly. The form for an order to surrender firearms shall

 

 

SB0044- 58 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1also include forms for a declaration of surrender of firearms,
2proof of surrender, declaration of nonsurrender, and order to
3release firearms.
4    (a-5) When a petition for an emergency order of protection
5is granted, the order and file shall not be public and shall
6only be accessible to the court, the petitioner, law
7enforcement, a domestic violence advocate or counselor, the
8counsel of record for either party, and the State's Attorney
9for the county until the order is served on the respondent.
10    (b) Appearance by respondent. If the respondent appears in
11court for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
12elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
13order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section.
14Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all
15requirements of Section 218 have been met, the court may issue
16a 30-day interim order.
17    (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
18        (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at
19    the close of business, the petitioner may file a petition
20    for a 21-day emergency order before any available circuit
21    judge or associate judge who may grant relief under this
22    Act. If the judge finds that there is an immediate and
23    present danger of abuse to the petitioner and that the
24    petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites set forth in
25    subsection (a) of Section 217, that judge may issue an
26    emergency order of protection.

 

 

SB0044- 59 -LRB103 04765 RLC 49774 b

1        (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the
2    circuit court may designate for each county in the circuit
3    at least one judge to be reasonably available to issue
4    orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an
5    emergency order of protection at all times, whether or not
6    the court is in session.
7        (2) Certification and transfer. The judge who issued
8    the order under this Section shall promptly communicate or
9    convey the order to the sheriff to facilitate the entry of
10    the order into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System by
11    the Illinois State Police pursuant to Section 302. Any
12    order issued under this Section and any documentation in
13    support thereof shall be certified on the next court day
14    to the appropriate court. The clerk of that court shall
15    immediately assign a case number, file the petition, order
16    and other documents with the court, and enter the order of
17    record and file it with the sheriff for service, in
18    accordance with Section 222. Filing the petition shall
19    commence proceedings for further relief under Section 202.
20    Failure to comply with the requirements of this subsection
21    shall not affect the validity of the order.

2    (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
3protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding
4or by a military tribunal, shall be enforced by a criminal
5court when:
6        (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of
7    an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30
8    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
9    by having knowingly violated:
10            (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
11        (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
12        of this Act; or
13            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
14        the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
15        (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
16        of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
17        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or

20        crime against the protected parties as defined by the
21        Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
22        Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
23    shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,

8    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
9        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
10    of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited
11    proceeding.
12    (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or
13private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
14or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
15non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
16    (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
17custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
18for a violation of any provision of any order entered under

20        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order,
21    entered under Section 215.
22        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
23    criminal proceeding.

1        violation of an order of protection
2    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
3    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
4    unjust.
5        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
6    violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may

1        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
2        violation of an order of protection
3    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
4    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
5    unjust.

7    violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may
8    consider evidence of any violations of an order of
9    protection:
10            (i) to increase, revoke or modify the conditions
11        of pretrial release on an underlying criminal charge
12        pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code of Criminal
13        Procedure of 1963;
14            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
15        conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to
16        Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
17            (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
18        imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified

21    shall impose an additional fine of $20 as authorized by
22    Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of Corrections upon
23    any person convicted of or placed on supervision for a
24    violation of an order of protection. The additional fine
