(750 ILCS 60/227.1) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-27.1)
Sec. 227.1.
Other privileged information.
Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, no court or administrative or legislative body
shall compel any person or domestic violence program to disclose the
location of any domestic violence program or the identity of any domestic
violence advocate or counselor in any civil or criminal case or proceeding
or in any administrative or legislative proceeding. A court may compel
disclosure of the location of a domestic violence program or the identity
of a domestic violence advocate or counselor if the court finds, following
a hearing, that there is clear and convincing evidence that failure to
disclose would be likely to result in an imminent risk of serious bodily
harm or death to a domestic violence victim or another person. If the
court makes such a finding, then disclosure shall take place in camera,
under a restrictive protective order that does not frustrate the purposes
of compelling the disclosure, and the information disclosed shall not be
made a part of the written record of the case.
