 1        AN ACT to amend the Illinois  Domestic  Violence  Act  of
 2    1986 by changing Sections 217 and 222.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Code of Criminal  Procedure  of  1963  is
 6    amended by changing Sections 112A-17, 112A-22, and 112A-28 as
 7    follows:
 8        (725 ILCS 5/112A-17) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-17)
 9        Sec. 112A-17.  Emergency order of protection.
10        (a)  Prerequisites.   An  emergency  order  of protection
11    shall issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of  this
12    subsection  for  one  or more of the requested remedies.  For
13    each remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
14             (1)  The  court  has  jurisdiction   under   Section
15        112A-9;
16             (2)  The   requirements   of   Section  112A-14  are
17        satisfied; and
18             (3)  There  is  good  cause  to  grant  the  remedy,
19        regardless of prior service of process or of notice  upon
20        the respondent, because:
21                  (i)  For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse"
22             described in Section 112A-14(b)(1), "stay away order
23             and  additional  prohibitions"  described in Section
24             112A-14(b)(3),  "removal  or  concealment  of  minor
25             child" described in Section 112A-14(b)(8), "order to
26             appear"   described   in   Section    112A-14(b)(9),
27             "physical  care  and  possession of the minor child"
28             described in Section 112A-14(b)(5),  "protection  of
29             property"   described   in  Section  112A-14(b)(11),
30             "prohibition  of   entry"   described   in   Section
31             112A-14(b)(14),  "prohibition  of access to records"
HB1589 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9004567SMdv
 1             described in Section 112A-14(b)(15), and "injunctive
 2             relief" described  in  Section  112A-14(b)(16),  the
 3             harm  which that remedy is intended to prevent would
 4             be likely to occur if the respondent were given  any
 5             prior  notice,  or  greater notice than was actually
 6             given,  of  the  petitioner's  efforts   to   obtain
 7             judicial relief;
 8                  (ii)  For  the  remedy  of  "grant of exclusive
 9             possession  of  residence"  described   in   Section
10             112A-14(b)(2), the immediate danger of further abuse
11             of  petitioner  by respondent, if petitioner chooses
12             or  had  chosen  to  remain  in  the  residence   or
13             household  while  respondent  was  given  any  prior
14             notice  or greater notice than was actually given of
15             petitioner's  efforts  to  obtain  judicial  relief,
16             outweighs  the  hardships  to   respondent   of   an
17             emergency   order   granting   petitioner  exclusive
18             possession of the  residence  or  household.    This
19             remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has or
20             could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while prior
21             notice  is given to respondent, unless the hardships
22             to  respondent  from   exclusion   from   the   home
23             substantially outweigh those to petitioner.
24                  (iii)  For   the   remedy   of  "possession  of
25             personal    property"    described    in     Section
26             112A-14(b)(10), improper disposition of the personal
27             property would be likely to occur if respondent were
28             given  any  prior notice, or greater notice than was
29             actually given, of petitioner's  efforts  to  obtain
30             judicial  relief, or petitioner has an immediate and
31             pressing need for possession of that property.
32        An emergency order may not include the counseling,  legal
33    custody,   payment   of   support  or  monetary  compensation
34    remedies.

 1        (b)  Appearance by respondent. If respondent  appears  in
 2    court  for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
 3    elect  to  file  a  general  appearance  and  testify.    Any
 4    resulting  order  may be an emergency order, governed by this
 5    Section.  Notwithstanding the requirements of  this  Section,
 6    if  all  requirements  of  Section 112A-18 have been met, the
 7    Court may issue a 30-day interim order.
 8        (c)  Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
 9             (1)  Prerequisites.  When the court  is  unavailable
10        at  the  close  of  business,  the  petitioner may file a
11        petition  for  a  21-day  emergency  order   before   any
12        available  circuit judge or associate judge who may grant
13        relief under this Article.  If the judge finds that there
14        is an immediate and present danger of abuse to petitioner
15        and that petitioner has satisfied the  prerequisites  set
16        forth  in  subsection  (a) of Section 112A-17, that judge
17        may issue an emergency order of protection.
18             (1.5)  Issuance of order.  The chief  judge  of  the
19        circuit  court  shall  designate  for  each county in the
20        circuit at least one judge to be reasonably available  to
21        issue  orally,  by telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise,
22        an emergency order of protection at all times, whether or
23        not the court is in session.
24             (2)  Certification and transfer.  Any  order  issued
25        under  this  Section  and  any   documentation in support
26        thereof shall be certified on the next court day  to  the
27        appropriate   court.   The  clerk  of  that  court  shall
28        immediately assign a  case  number,  file  the  petition,
29        order  and  other  documents with the court and enter the
30        order of record and file it with the sheriff for service,
31        in accordance with Section 112A-22.  Filing the  petition
32        shall  commence  proceedings  for  further  relief, under
33        Section 112A-2.  Failure to comply with the  requirements
34        of  this  subsection shall not affect the validity of the
HB1589 Engrossed            -4-                LRB9004567SMdv
 1        order.

 4        Sec. 112A-22.  Notice of orders.
 5        (a)  Entry and issuance.  Upon issuance of any  order  of
 6    protection, the clerk shall immediately, or on the next court
 7    day  if  an  emergency  order  is  issued  in accordance with
 8    subsection (c) of Section 112A-17, (i) enter the order on the
 9    record and file it  in  accordance  with  the  circuit  court
10    procedures  and (ii) provide a file stamped copy of the order
11    to respondent, if present, and to petitioner.
12        (b)  Filing with sheriff.  The clerk of the issuing judge
13    shall, or the petitioner may, on the same day that  an  order
14    of  protection  is issued, file a copy of that order with the
15    sheriff or  other  law  enforcement  officials  charged  with
16    maintaining  Department  of  State  Police records or charged
17    with serving the order upon  respondent.  If  the  order  was
18    issued  in accordance with subsection (c) of Section 112A-17,
19    the clerk shall on the next court day, file a certified  copy
20    of  the  order  with  the  Sheriff  or  other law enforcement
21    officials charged with maintaining Department of State Police
22    records.
23        (c)  Service by sheriff.  Unless respondent  was  present
24    in  court  when  the order was issued, the sheriff, other law
25    enforcement official or special process server shall promptly
26    serve that order upon  respondent  and  file  proof  of  such
27    service,  in  the  manner  provided for service of process in
28    civil proceedings.  If process has not yet been  served  upon
29    the respondent, it shall be served with the order.
30        (c-5)  If the person against whom the order of protection
31    is  issued  is  arrested  and  the written order is issued in
32    accordance  with  subsection  (c)  of  Section  112A-17   and
33    received  by  the custodial law enforcement agency before the

 1    respondent  or  arrestee  is  released  from   custody,   the
 2    custodial  law  enforcement  agent  shall  promptly serve the
 3    order upon the respondent or arrestee before  the  respondent
 4    or  arrestee  is  released  from  custody.  In no event shall
 5    detention of the  respondent  or  arrestee  be  extended  for
 6    hearing on the petition for order of protection or receipt of
 7    the order issued under Section 112A-17 of this Code.
 8        (d)  Extensions,   modifications  and  revocations.   Any

14        Sec.  112A-28.  Data  maintenance  by   law   enforcement
15    agencies.
16        (a)  All  sheriffs  shall  furnish  to  the Department of

19    by the court and transmitted to the sheriff by the  clerk  of
20    the  court  pursuant  to subsection (b) of Section 112A-22 of
21    this Act. Each order of protection shall be  entered  in  the
22    Law  Enforcement  Automated Data System on the same day it is
23    issued by the court. If an emergency order of protection  was
24    issued  in accordance with subsection (c) of Section 112A-17,

31    enforcement  officers  at the scene of an alleged incident of
32    abuse or violation of an order of protection of any  recorded
33    prior  incident  of  abuse involving the abused party and the

 8        Section  10.   The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986
 9    is amended by changing Sections 217, 222, and 302 as follows:
10        (750 ILCS 60/217) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-17)
11        Sec. 217.  Emergency order of protection.
12        (a)  Prerequisites.  An  emergency  order  of  protection
13    shall  issue if petitioner satisfies the requirements of this
14    subsection for one or more of the  requested  remedies.   For
15    each remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
16             (1)  The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;
17             (2)  The  requirements of Section 214 are satisfied;
18        and
19             (3)  There  is  good  cause  to  grant  the  remedy,
20        regardless of prior service of process or of notice  upon
21        the respondent, because:
22                  (i)  For    the  remedies  of  "prohibition  of
23             abuse"  described  in  Section 214(b)(1), "stay away
24             order  and  additional  prohibitions"  described  in
25             Section 214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of  minor
26             child"  described  in  Section  214(b)(8), "order to
27             appear" described in  Section  214(b)(9),  "physical
28             care and possession of the minor child" described in
29             Section    214(b)(5),   "protection   of   property"
30             described in  Section  214(b)(11),  "prohibition  of
31             entry" described in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition
32             of   access   to   records"   described  in  Section
HB1589 Engrossed            -7-                LRB9004567SMdv
 1             214(b)(15), and  "injunctive  relief"  described  in
 2             Section  214(b)(16),  the  harm which that remedy is
 3             intended to prevent would be likely to occur if  the
 4             respondent  were  given any prior notice, or greater
 5             notice than was actually given, of the  petitioner's
 6             efforts to obtain judicial relief;
 7                  (ii)  For  the  remedy  of  "grant of exclusive
 8             possession  of  residence"  described   in   Section
 9             214(b)(2),  the immediate danger of further abuse of
10             petitioner by respondent, if petitioner  chooses  or
11             had  chosen  to remain in the residence or household
12             while respondent  was  given  any  prior  notice  or
13             greater   notice   than   was   actually   given  of
14             petitioner's  efforts  to  obtain  judicial  relief,
15             outweighs  the  hardships  to   respondent   of   an
16             emergency   order   granting   petitioner  exclusive
17             possession of the  residence  or  household.    This
18             remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has or
19             could obtain temporary shelter elsewhere while prior
20             notice  is given to respondent, unless the hardships
21             to  respondent  from   exclusion   from   the   home
22             substantially outweigh those to petitioner;
23                  (iii)  For   the   remedy   of  "possession  of
24             personal property" described in Section  214(b)(10),
25             improper  disposition of the personal property would
26             be likely to occur  if  respondent  were  given  any
27             prior  notice,  or  greater notice than was actually
28             given, of petitioner's efforts  to  obtain  judicial
29             relief,  or petitioner has an immediate and pressing
30             need for possession of that property.
31        An emergency order may not include the counseling,  legal
32    custody,   payment   of   support  or  monetary  compensation
33    remedies.
34        (b)  Appearance by respondent. If respondent  appears  in
HB1589 Engrossed            -8-                LRB9004567SMdv
 1    court  for this hearing for an emergency order, he or she may
 2    elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any resulting
 3    order may be an emergency order, governed  by  this  Section.
 4    Notwithstanding  the  requirements  of  this  Section, if all
 5    requirements of Section 218 have  been  met,  the  court  may
 6    issue a 30-day interim order.
 7        (c)  Emergency orders:  court holidays and evenings.
 8             (1)  Prerequisites.   When  the court is unavailable
 9        at the close of  business,  the  petitioner  may  file  a
10        petition   for   a  21-day  emergency  order  before  any
11        available circuit judge or associate judge who may  grant
12        relief  under this Act.  If the judge finds that there is
13        an immediate and present danger of  abuse  to  petitioner
14        and  that  petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites set
15        forth in subsection (a) of Section 217,  that  judge  may
16        issue an emergency order of protection.
17             (1.5)  Issuance  of  order.   The chief judge of the
18        circuit court shall designate  for  each  county  in  the
19        circuit  at least one judge to be reasonably available to
20        issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile,  or  otherwise,
21        an emergency order of protection at all times, whether or
22        not the court is in session.
23             (2)  Certification  and  transfer.  Any order issued
24        under this  Section  and  any  documentation  in  support
25        thereof  shall  be certified on the next court day to the
26        appropriate  court.   The  clerk  of  that  court   shall
27        immediately  assign  a  case  number,  file the petition,
28        order and other documents with the court, and  enter  the
29        order of record and file it with the sheriff for service,
30        in  accordance  with  Section  222.   Filing the petition
31        shall  commence  proceedings  for  further  relief  under
32        Section 202. Failure to comply with the  requirements  of
33        this  subsection  shall  not  affect  the validity of the
34        order.
