A BILL FOR

 

HB2834LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    AN ACT concerning firearms, which may be referred to as the
2Illinois Public Safety Act.
 
3    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4represented in the General Assembly:
 
5    Section 1. Legislative findings; purpose and intent. The
6General Assembly finds and declares:
7    (1) Gun violence takes an extraordinary toll on families
8and communities in Illinois. In 2007, over 1,000 individuals
9died from firearm-related injuries in this State. In that same
10year, incidents of gun murders, gun suicides, and unintentional
11shootings in Illinois killed 150 children and adolescents ages
1219 and younger.
13    (2) Existing federal firearm laws have proven insufficient
14to prevent dangerous individuals from obtaining, carrying, and
15using firearms in public places.
16    (3) The federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act
17allows unlicensed private sellers of firearms, who account for
1840% of firearms sold in the U.S., to sell firearms without
19performing a background check on the prospective purchaser.
20Federal law does not require sellers to report sales of
21firearms to law enforcement. In fact, federal law does not even
22allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation to maintain records
23of approved gun purchasers for more than 24 hours. Federal law
24also provides no comprehensive system of firearm registration,

 

 

HB2834- 2 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1and does not require firearm owners to report to law
2enforcement if their firearms are lost or stolen.
3    (4) Background checks performed by licensed dealers have
4proven to be extremely effective at keeping guns out of the
5hands of prohibited persons. Since the federal background check
6requirement was adopted in 1994, over 1.9 million criminals and
7other prohibited persons across the United States have been
8prohibited from buying guns. In 2010 alone, 70,972 gun
9transfers were denied using the federal background check
10system. Nevertheless, individuals prohibited by law from
11possessing guns can easily obtain them from private sellers.
12Universal background checks will help ensure that all persons
13buying guns are legally eligible to do so.
14    (5) Firearm registration laws, which require individuals
15to record their ownership or possession of a firearm with a
16designated law enforcement agency, and laws requiring sellers
17to report firearm sales to a centralized database help law
18enforcement quickly and reliably trace the source of firearms
19recovered from crime scenes, and retrieve firearms from persons
20who have become legally prohibited from possessing the firearms
21through criminal convictions or other prohibitions. These laws
22also discourage illegal firearm sales by creating
23accountability for gun owners, and help law enforcement return
24lost or stolen firearms to their rightful owners. Furthermore,
25information generated by firearm sales reporting and
26registration systems help protect law enforcement officers

 

 

HB2834- 3 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1responding to an incident by providing them with information
2about firearms that may be present at the scene.
3    (6) States with some form of registration and licensing
4systems have greater success keeping firearms from being used
5in crimes than states without these systems. Illinois currently
6has a licensing system through the Firearm Owners
7Identification Card Act, but no system of firearm registration.
8    (7) Laws requiring the reporting of lost or stolen firearms
9make gun owners more accountable for their firearms and are
10beneficial to law enforcement because these laws:
11        (A) help deter and prosecute gun traffickers and
12    criminals who often falsely claim that a gun used in a
13    crime that has been traced to them was lost or stolen in
14    order to hide his or her involvement in the crime;
15        (B) help disarm persons ineligible to possess firearms
16    by deterring a person in a prohibited category from falsely
17    claiming that his or her firearm was lost or stolen; and
18        (C) help return lost or stolen firearms to their
19    owners.
20    (8) Firearms carried or possessed in public places increase
21the risk of deaths and injuries by increasing the chances that
22firearms will be used to settle disputes, and increase the risk
23of accidental shootings in places where large numbers of people
24are gathered. The carrying or possession of firearms in public
25places also increase the risk that those firearms will be lost
26or stolen, and end up in the hands of criminals or other

 

 

HB2834- 4 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1persons ineligible to possess firearms.
2    (9) Flawed application processes in existing state systems
3for licensing individuals to carry concealed weapons (CCW) have
4allowed numerous persons prohibited from possessing firearms
5to receive CCW permits. Analyses have found that numerous
6criminals including rapists, armed robbers, and individuals
7who had pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies, individuals
8with outstanding warrants, persons with active domestic
9violence injunctions against them, and 6 registered sex
10offenders had been issued CCW licenses under other state's
11permissive CCW laws.
12    (10) Research has shown that individuals issued CCW permits
13include not only persons who have committed violent crimes in
14the past, but also those who subsequently commit violent
15crimes. One study found that Texas CCW permit holders were
16arrested for weapons-related crimes at a rate 81% higher than
17that of the state's general adult population. According to the
18Violence Policy Center (VPC), between May 2007 and March 2012,
19individuals licensed to carry concealed weapons killed at least
2011 law enforcement officers and 391 private citizens, including
2131 shooters who killed themselves after an attack.
22    (11) It is the purpose and intent of the General Assembly
23to strengthen State firearm laws by:
24        (A) requiring all firearm purchasers to be subject to a
25    background check;
26        (B) requiring all firearm dealers and ammunition

 

 

HB2834- 5 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    sellers to obtain a state license and report gun sales;
2        (C) enact a comprehensive system of firearm
3    registration;
4        (D) requiring the State Police to maintain records of
5    gun sales;
6        (E) requiring gun owners to report all lost or stolen
7    firearms; and
8        (F) licensing and restricting the carrying of firearms
9    in public places.
10    (12) The General Assembly believes that these restrictions
11will:
12        (A) help keep guns out of the hands of felons, domestic
13    abusers, the mentally ill, and other prohibited persons;
14        (B) discourage illegal gun sales and gun trafficking;
15        (C) help law enforcement solve gun crimes; and
16        (D) reduce gun deaths and injuries and increase public
17    safety.
18    (13) The General Assembly further believes it is necessary
19to restrict the carrying of firearms in public places to
20individuals who have demonstrated a particularized need to
21carry a firearm in public, because they are exposed to unusual
22personal danger which is distinct from other members of the
23community.
 
24    Section 5. Short title. This Act may be referred to as the
25Gun Safety and Responsibility Act.

25    Section 110. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is

 

 

HB2834- 111 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1amended by changing Section 112A-14 as follows:
 
2    (725 ILCS 5/112A-14)  (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
3    Sec. 112A-14. Order of protection; remedies.
4    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
5has been abused by a family or household member, as defined in
6this Article, an order of protection prohibiting such abuse
7shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
8requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
9Section 112A-17 on emergency orders, Section 112A-18 on interim
10orders, or Section 112A-19 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall
11not be 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 physical
14manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
15Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
16be in accordance with this Article.
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 appropriate:
20Section 112A-17 on emergency orders, Section 112A-18 on interim
21orders, and Section 112A-19 on plenary orders. The remedies
22listed in this subsection shall be in addition to other civil
23or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
24        (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
25    harassment, interference with personal liberty,

 

 

HB2834- 112 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse or willful
2    deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
3    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
4    prohibited.
5        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
6    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
7    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
8    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
9    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
10    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
11    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
12    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
13    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
14            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
15        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
16        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
17        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
18        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
19        person or entity other than the opposing party that
20        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
21        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
22        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
23            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
24        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
25        residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
26        hardships to respondent and any minor child or

 

 

HB2834- 113 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 114 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    respondent from entering or remaining present at
2    petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
3    specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
4    both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
5    Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
6    stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
7    right to enter the premises.
8        If an order of protection grants petitioner exclusive
9    possession of the residence, or prohibits respondent from
10    entering the residence, or orders respondent to stay away
11    from 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 exclusively
14    by respondent, medications, and other items as the court
15    directs. The right to access shall be exercised on only one
16    occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
17    agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement officer.
18        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
19    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
20    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
21    family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
22    mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
23    services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
24    abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
25    appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
26    intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

 

 

HB2834- 115 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3    all recommended treatment.
4        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13    in loco parentis.
14        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
15    committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor
16    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
17    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
18    minor child's best interest.
19        (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
20    custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
21    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the
22    Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform
23    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
24        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
25    committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor
26    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that

 

 

HB2834- 116 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be
2    in the child's best interest.
3        (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
4    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
5    physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
6    to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
7    respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court
8    finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of
9    the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
10    visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
11    abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
12    household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the
13    minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
14    in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
15    not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
16    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
17    If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
18    dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
19    specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
20    order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
21    "reasonable visitation".
22        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
23    child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
24    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
25    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
26    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in

 

 

HB2834- 117 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 118 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 119 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 120 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 121 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
2    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
3    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
4    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
5        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
6            (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
7        protection was issued from possessing any firearms
8        during the duration of the order 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 firearms in the possession of the respondent,
26        except as provided in subsection (b), shall be ordered

 

 

HB2834- 122 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

2        enforcement agency for safekeeping. The local law
3        enforcement agency shall conduct a query with the
4        Department of State Police concerning registered
5        assault weapons under this amendatory Act of the 98th

7        the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification Card

11        shall immediately mail the card, license, or both to
12        the Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
13        Identification Card Office for safekeeping. The period
14        of safekeeping shall be for the duration of the order
15        of protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm
16        Owner's Identification Card and, if applicable, a
17        concealed carry license issued under the Gun Safety and
18        Responsibility Act, if unexpired, shall at the
19        respondent's request be returned to the respondent at
20        expiration of the order of protection.
21            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
22        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
23        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
24        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
25        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
26        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who

 

 

HB2834- 123 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
2        duration of the order of protection.
3            (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
4        if the firearms, or Firearm Owner's Identification
5        Card, or concealed carry license cannot be returned to
6        respondent because respondent cannot be located, fails
7        to respond to requests to retrieve the firearms, or is
8        not lawfully eligible to possess a firearm, upon
9        petition from the local law enforcement agency, the
10        court may order the local law enforcement agency to
11        destroy the firearms, use the firearms for training
12        purposes, or for any other application as deemed
13        appropriate by the local law enforcement agency; or
14        that the firearms be turned over to a third party who
15        is lawfully eligible to possess firearms, and who does
16        not reside with respondent.
17        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
18    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
19    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
20    under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5, or if necessary to
21    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
22    child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
23    prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
24    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
25    records of the minor child who is in the care of
26    petitioner.

 

 

HB2834- 124 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
2    respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
3    housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
4    cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
5    deemed reasonable by the court.
6        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
7    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
8    a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
9    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.
10    If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or
11    any other harm that one of the remedies listed in
12    paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed
13    to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish
14    that the harm is an irreparable injury.
15    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
16        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
17    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
18    relevant factors, including but not limited to the
19    following:
20            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
21        consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
22        petitioner or any family or household member,
23        including the concealment of his or her location in
24        order to evade service of process or notice, and the
25        likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
26        any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or

 

 

HB2834- 125 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        household; and
2            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
3        or neglected or improperly removed 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 or
14        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) of
25        this subsection.
26            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,

 

 

HB2834- 126 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 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 order
7    of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
8    supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
9    (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
10    the following procedure:
11        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
12    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
13    112A-5 and 112A-17 is presented to the court, the court
14    shall examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An
15    emergency order of protection shall be issued by the court
16    if it 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 marriage
23    attach to a putative father until a father and child
24    relationship has been established under the Illinois
25    Parentage Act of 1984. Absent such an adjudication, no
26    putative father shall be granted temporary custody of the

 

 

HB2834- 127 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    minor child, visitation with the minor child, or physical
2    care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
3    of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
4    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
5the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
6remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
7subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
8balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
9include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
10in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
11hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
12shall be an official record or in writing.
13    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
14based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
15        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
16    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
17    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
18        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
19        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
20    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
21    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
22    of 2012;
23        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
24    of another;
25        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
26    further abuse by respondent;

 

 

HB2834- 128 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
2    to avoid further abuse by respondent;
3        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
4    the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
5    have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
6    or household members.

26discharge, except as may be necessary in the course of the

 

 

HB2834- 143 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1minor's lawful employment.
2    (d) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional

4conditions thereof.
5    (e) Except where the offender has committed a fourth or

7Illinois Vehicle Code, the court shall not require as a
8condition of the sentence of probation or conditional discharge
9that the offender be committed to a period of imprisonment in
10excess of 6 months. This 6 month limit shall not include
11periods of confinement given pursuant to a sentence of county
12impact incarceration under Section 5-8-1.2.
13    Persons committed to imprisonment as a condition of
14probation or conditional discharge shall not be committed to
15the Department of Corrections.
16    (f) The court may combine a sentence of periodic
17imprisonment under Article 7 or a sentence to a county impact
18incarceration program under Article 8 with a sentence of
19probation or conditional discharge.
20    (g) An offender sentenced to probation or to conditional
21discharge and who during the term of either undergoes mandatory
22drug or alcohol testing, or both, or is assigned to be placed
23on an approved electronic monitoring device, shall be ordered

25testing, or both, and all costs incidental to such approved
26electronic monitoring in accordance with the defendant's

 

 

HB2834- 144 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1ability to pay those costs. The county board with the
2concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which
3the county is located shall establish reasonable fees for the
4cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses related
5to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and all
6costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring, involved
7in a successful probation program for the county. The
8concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
9administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
10of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court shall pay
11all moneys collected from these fees to the county treasurer
12who shall use the moneys collected to defray the costs of drug
13testing, alcohol testing, and electronic monitoring. The
14county treasurer shall deposit the fees collected in the county
15working cash fund under Section 6-27001 or Section 6-29002 of
16the Counties Code, as the case may be.
17    (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from
18the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
19concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers of
20jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The court
21to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have the same
22powers as the sentencing court. The probation department within
23the circuit to which jurisdiction has been transferred may
24impose probation fees upon receiving the transferred offender,
25as provided in subsection (i). The probation department from
26the original sentencing court shall retain all probation fees

 

 

HB2834- 145 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1collected prior to the transfer.
2    (i) The court shall impose upon an offender sentenced to
3probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
4after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the
5supervision of a probation or court services department after
6January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or
7conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee of
8$50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
9supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
10court, unless after determining the inability of the person
11sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
12community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
13fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is made a
14ward of the State under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
15the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
16an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
17court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
18clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
19shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
20treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
21under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers Act.
22    A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
23subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit
24court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
25judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an offender's
26ability to pay Of the amount collected as a probation fee, up

 

 

HB2834- 146 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1to $5 of that fee collected per month may be used to provide
2services to crime victims and their families.
3    The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
4offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
5re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
6with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
7Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
8offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
9offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
10probation department, or has been transferred either under
11subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate compact,
12shall be required to pay probation fees to the department
13supervising the offender, based on the offender's ability to
14pay.
15    This amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly deletes
16the $10 increase in the fee under this subsection that was
17imposed by Public Act 93-616. This deletion is intended to
18control over any other Act of the 93rd General Assembly that
19retains or incorporates that fee increase.
20    (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
21of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
22felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
23Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation department
24has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined in the Sex
25Offender Management Board Act), the court or the probation
26department shall assess additional fees to pay for all costs of

 

 

HB2834- 147 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and treatment, and
2monitoring the offender, based on that offender's ability to
3pay those costs either as they occur or under a payment plan.
4    (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
5violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
6Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
7violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
8provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
9disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under Section 27.5
10of the Clerks of Courts Act.
11    (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
12conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
13the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
14court or probation department has determined to be sexually
15motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
16shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
17indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
18be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
19required by the court or the probation department.
20    (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
21probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
22of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as
23provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

5    Section 120. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended
6by changing Section 80 as follows:
 
7    (740 ILCS 21/80)
8    Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
9    (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
10victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue;
11provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the requirements
12of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100 on plenary
13orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a stalking no
14contact order because the petitioner or the respondent is a
15minor. The court, when determining whether or not to issue a
16stalking no contact order, may not require physical injury on
17the person of the petitioner. Modification and extension of
18prior stalking no contact orders shall be in accordance with
19this Act.
20    (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of
21the following:
22        (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
23    or committing stalking;
24        (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with

 

 

HB2834- 149 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 150 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 151 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 152 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.
2    (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
3fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
4    (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
5    (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
6respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
7Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
8confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
9Card and, if applicable, a concealed carry license issued under
10the Gun Safety and Responsibility Act and immediately return
11the card, license, or both to the Department of State Police
12Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office. Any firearms in the
13possession of the respondent, except as authorized in
14subsection (f) shall be ordered by the court to be turned over
15to the local law enforcement agency for safekeeping. The local
16law enforcement agency shall conduct a query with the
17Department of State Police concerning registered assault
18weapons under this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.
19    (f) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined in
20Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court shall
21order that any firearms used by the respondent in the
22performance of his or her duties as a peace officer be
23surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive of the
24agency in which the respondent is employed, who shall retain
25the firearms for safekeeping for the duration of the stalking
26no contact order.

3    Section 125. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is
4amended by changing Section 214 as follows:
 
5    (750 ILCS 60/214)  (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
6    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
7    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
8has been abused by a family or household member or that
9petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
10or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
11prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
12provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
13one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on
14emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
15on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
16protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
17court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
18protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
19on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
20prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
21Act.
22    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
23an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
24this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:

 

 

HB2834- 154 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
2and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
3subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
4remedies available to petitioner.
5        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
6    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
7    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
8    abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
9    defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
10    defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
11    such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
12    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
13    prohibited.
14        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
15    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
16    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
17    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
18    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
19    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
20    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
21    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
22    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
23            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
24        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
25        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
26        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that

 

 

HB2834- 155 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 156 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 157 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 158 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 159 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 160 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
2    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
3    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
4    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
5    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
6    in loco parentis.
7        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
8    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
9    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
10    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
11    minor child's best interest.
12        (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
13    custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
14    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the
15    Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform
16    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
17        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
18    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
19    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
20    awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be
21    in the child's best interest.
22        (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
23    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
24    physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
25    to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
26    respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court

 

 

HB2834- 161 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of
2    the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
3    visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
4    abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
5    household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the
6    minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
7    in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
8    not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
9    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
10    If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
11    dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
12    specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
13    order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
14    "reasonable visitation".
15        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
16    child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
17    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
18    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
19    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
20    a violent or abusive manner.
21        If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
22    family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
23    prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
24    the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall
25    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
26    alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be

 

 

HB2834- 162 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 163 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
2    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
3    hereafter amended.
4        No order under this provision shall affect title to
5    property.
6        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
7    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
8    damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
9    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, 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 property
15    is that it is marital property, the court may grant
16    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

 

 

HB2834- 164 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 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 custody, when the respondent has a
10    legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with
11    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
12    which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
13    support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
14    income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
15    granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or
16    custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
17    care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
18    custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
19    valid order granting legal custody to another, unless
20    otherwise provided in the custody order.
21        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
22    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
23    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
24    include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
25    earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
26    property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,

 

 

HB2834- 165 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
2    additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
3    restaurant meals.
4            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
5        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
6        property distribution from the other party under the
7        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
8        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
9        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
10        the extent that such reimbursement would be
11        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
12        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
13            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
14        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
15        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
16        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
17        and recovery of the minor child, including but not
18        limited to legal fees, court costs, private
19        investigator fees, and travel costs.
20        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
21    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
22    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
23    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
24    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
25        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
26            (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of

 

 

HB2834- 166 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        protection was issued from possessing any firearms
2        during the duration of the order if the order:
3                (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
4            person received actual notice, and at which such
5            person had an opportunity to participate;
6                (2) restrains such person from harassing,
7            stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
8            such person or child of such intimate partner or
9            person, or engaging in other conduct that would
10            place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
11            bodily injury to the partner or child; and
12                (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
13            represents a credible threat to the physical
14            safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
15            by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
16            attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
17            against such intimate partner or child that would
18            reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
19        Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card and, if
20        applicable, a concealed carry license issued under the
21        Gun Safety and Responsibility Act in the possession of
22        the respondent, except as provided in subsection (b),
23        shall be ordered by the court to be turned over to the
24        local law enforcement agency. The local law
25        enforcement agency shall immediately mail the card,
26        license, or both to the Department of State Police

 

 

HB2834- 167 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office for
2        safekeeping. The court shall issue a warrant for
3        seizure of any firearm in the possession of the
4        respondent, to be kept by the local law enforcement
5        agency for safekeeping, except as provided in
6        subsection (b). The local law enforcement agency shall
7        conduct a query with the Department of State Police
8        concerning registered assault weapons under this
9        amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly. The period
10        of safekeeping shall be for the duration of the order
11        of protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm
12        Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at
13        the respondent's request, be returned to the
14        respondent at the end of the order of protection. It is
15        the respondent's responsibility to notify the
16        Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
17        Identification Card Office.
18            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
19        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
20        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
21        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
22        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
23        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
24        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
25        duration of the order of protection.
26            (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,

 

 

HB2834- 168 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

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

 

 

HB2834- 169 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    deemed reasonable by the court.
2        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
3    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
4    a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
5    exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to
6    effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
7    balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
8    injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
9    remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
10    subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
11    necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
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, neglect
19        or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
20        household member, including the concealment of his or
21        her location in order to evade service of process or
22        notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
23        neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
24        petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
25            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
26        or neglected or improperly removed from the

 

 

HB2834- 170 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
2        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 or
11        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, the court shall make its findings
18    in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
19    set forth the following:
20            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
21        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
22        this subsection.
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

 

 

HB2834- 171 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
2        other alleged abused persons.
3        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
4    of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
5    supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
6    (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
7    the following procedure:
8        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
9    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
10    203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
11    examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
12    order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
13    appears from the contents of the petition and the
14    examination of petitioner that the averments are
15    sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
16    the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
17    order of protection.
18        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
19    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
20    attach to a putative father until a father and child
21    relationship has been established under the Illinois
22    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Public Aid Code,
23    Section 12 of the Vital Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act
24    of 1987, the Probate Act of 1985, the Revised Uniform
25    Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, the Uniform
26    Interstate Family Support Act, the Expedited Child Support

 

 

HB2834- 172 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1    Act of 1990, any judicial, administrative, or other act of
2    another state or territory, any other Illinois statute, or
3    by any foreign nation establishing the father and child
4    relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
5    conformity with the Personal Responsibility and Work
6    Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193),
7    or where both parties appeared in open court or at an
8    administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
9    admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
10    child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
11    or acknowledgement, no putative father shall be granted
12    temporary custody of the minor child, visitation with the
13    minor child, or physical care and possession of the minor
14    child, nor shall an order of payment for support of the
15    minor child be entered.
16    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
17the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
18remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
19subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
20balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
21include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
22in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
23hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
24shall be an official record or in writing.
25    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
26based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:

 

 

HB2834- 173 -LRB098 10911 MRW 41442 b

1        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
2    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
3    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
4        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
5        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
6    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
7    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
8    of 2012;
9        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
10    of another;
11        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
12    further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
13        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
14    to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
15    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.
