6information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and 
7concealed carry license applications, revocations, and

22 Section 7. The First Responders Suicide Prevention Act is 
23amended by changing Section 40 as follows:

24 (5 ILCS 840/40)
 
 
HB2605- 26 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 Sec. 40. Task Force recommendations.
2 (a) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and 
3organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness 
4services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs 
5and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving 
6concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could 
7be accomplished by:
8  (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee 
9 assistance programs (EAPs).
10  (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated 
11 healthcare plans and include more progressive options 
12 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks 
13 shouldered by our first responders.
14  (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service 
15 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at 
16 raising awareness of available assistance options.
17  (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach 
18 lists of all available resources to training manuals and 
19 continuing education requirements. 
20 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and 
21organizations sponsor or facilitate first responders with 
22specialized training in the areas of psychological fitness, 
23depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best 
24practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
25  (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member 
26 of an agency or organization to attend specialized 
 
 
HB2605- 27 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency, 
2 association, or organization recognized in their fields of 
3 study.
4  (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers, 
5 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified 
6 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection 
7 training techniques, or to provide regular access to 
8 mental health professionals.
9  (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders 
10 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring, 
11 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and 
12 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective 
13 agency or organization size, frequency, and number of all 
14 current federal and state mandatory examinations and 
15 trainings expected respectively.
16  (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a 
17 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction 
18 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities, 
19 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically 
20 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental 
21 wellness. 
22 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators 
23and leadership personnel solicit training services from 
24evidence-based, data driven organizations. Organizations with 
25personnel trained on the analytical review and interpretation 
26of specific fields related to the nature of first responders' 
 
 
HB2605- 28 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, chronic state of 
2duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for 
3expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary 
4self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above. 
5These objectives could be met by:
6  (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or 
7 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific 
8 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies 
9 and organizations listed above receive grants and 
10 allocations to assist communities with the very issues 
11 being discussed in this Section.
12  (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first 
13 responders and their families through regular messaging 
14 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy 
15 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals' 
16 careers.
17  (3) Funding and implementing PSA campaigns that 
18 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental 
19 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment, 
20 and recovery.
21  (4) Promoting and raising awareness of not-for-profit 
22 non-for-profit organizations currently available to assist 
23 individuals in search of care and treatment. Organizations 
24 have intuitive user-friendly sites, most of which have 
25 mobile applications, so first responders can access at a 
26 moment's notice. However, because of limited funds, these 
 
 
HB2605- 29 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 organizations have a challenging time of getting the word 
2 out there about their existence.
3  (5) Expanding Family and Medical Leave Act protections 
4 for individuals voluntarily seeking preventative 
5 treatment.
6  (6) Promoting and ensuring complete patient 
7 confidentiality protections. 
8 (d) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and 
9organizations incorporate the following training components 
10into already existing modules and educational curriculums. 
11Doing so could be done by:
12  (1) Bolstering academy and school curricula by 
13 requiring depressive disorder training catered to PTSD, 
14 substance abuse, and early detection techniques training, 
15 taking into close consideration respective agency or 
16 organization size, and the frequency and number of all 
17 current federal and state mandatory examinations and 
18 trainings expected respectively.
19  (2) Continuing to allocate or match federal and state 
20 funds to maintain Mobile Mobil Training Units (MTUs). 
21  (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support 
22 training into already exiting statewide curriculums and 
23 mandatory examinations, annual State Fire Marshal 
24 examinations, and physical fitness examinations. The 
25 subject matter of the certificate should have an emphasis 
26 on mental health and wellness, as well as familiarization 
 
 
HB2605- 30 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical 
2 psychology, clinical behaviorist, and clinical psychiatry.
3  (4) Incorporating and performing statewide mental 
4 health check-ins during the same times as already mandated 
5 trainings. These checks are not to be compared or used as 
6 measures of fitness for duty evaluations or structured 
7 psychological examinations.
8  (5) Recommending comprehensive and evidence-based 
9 training on the importance of preventative measures on the 
10 topics of sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and physical 
11 movement.
12  (6) (Blank). Law enforcement agencies should provide 
13 training on the Firearm Owner's Identification Card Act, 
14 including seeking relief from the Illinois State Police 
15 under Section 10 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card 
16 Act and a FOID card being a continued condition of 
17 employment under Section 7.2 of the Uniform Peace 
18 Officers' Disciplinary Act.

14 (105 ILCS 5/10-22.6) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-22.6)


15 (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 102-466)

16 Sec. 10-22.6. Suspension or expulsion of pupils; school 
17searches. 

18 (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or 
19misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct 
20perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20) 
21of this Section, and
no action shall lie against them for such 
22expulsion. Expulsion shall
take place only after the parents 
23have been requested to appear at a
meeting of the board, or 
24with a hearing officer appointed by it, to
discuss their 
 
 
HB2605- 59 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered
or 
2certified mail and shall state the time, place and purpose of 
3the
meeting. The board, or a hearing officer appointed by it, 
4at such
meeting shall state the reasons for dismissal and the 
5date on which the
expulsion is to become effective. If a 
6hearing officer is appointed by
the board, he shall report to 
7the board a written summary of the evidence
heard at the 
8meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it
finds 
9appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written 
10expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why 
11removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the 
12best interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also 
13include a rationale as to the specific duration of the 
14expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to 
15an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A 
16or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer 
17because of the expulsion, except in cases in which such 
18transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students 
19or staff in the alternative program.

20 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the 
21superintendent of
the district or the principal, assistant 
22principal, or dean of students
of any school to suspend pupils 
23guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, or
to suspend 
24pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the 
25school bus
from riding the school bus, pursuant to subsections 
26(b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action
shall lie 
 
 
HB2605- 60 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1against them for such suspension. The board may by policy

2authorize the superintendent of the district or the principal, 
3assistant
principal, or dean of students of any
school to 
4suspend pupils guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed

510 school days. If a pupil is suspended due to gross 
6disobedience or misconduct
on a school bus, the board may 
7suspend the pupil in excess of 10
school
days for safety 
8reasons. 
9 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the

10parents or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of 
11the
reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to 
12a review. The school board must be given a summary of the 
13notice, including the reason for the suspension and the 
14suspension length. Upon request of the
parents or guardian, 
15the school board or a hearing officer appointed by
it shall 
16review such action of the superintendent or principal, 
17assistant
principal, or dean of students. At such
review, the 
18parents or guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the

19suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing 
20officer
is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board 
21a written summary
of the evidence heard at the meeting. After 
22its hearing or upon receipt
of the written report of its 
23hearing officer, the board may take such
action as it finds 
24appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this 
25subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension 
26decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or 
 
 
HB2605- 61 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The 
2suspension decision shall also include a rationale as to the 
3specific duration of the suspension. A pupil who is suspended 
4in excess of 20 school days may be immediately transferred to 
5an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A 
6or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer 
7because of the suspension, except in cases in which such 
8transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students 
9or staff in the alternative program.

10 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions 
11and consequences available to school officials, school 
12exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, 
13are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number 
14and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest 
15extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them 
16only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that 
17students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is 
18recommended that school officials consider forms of 
19non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school 
20suspensions or expulsions.
21 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this 
22Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies 
23by which school administrators are required to suspend or 
24expel students for particular behaviors.
25 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be 
26used only if the student's continuing presence in school would 
 
 
HB2605- 62 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other 
2students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this 
3subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to 
4other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on 
5a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee. 
6School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve 
7such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the 
8length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
9 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code, 
10out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, 
11and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used 
12only if other appropriate and available behavioral and 
13disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the 
14student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose 
15a
threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of

16the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or

17interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of 
18this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other 
19students, staff, or members of the school community" and 
20"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the 
21operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case 
22basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection 
23(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and 
24available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been 
25exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials 
26shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats, 
 
 
HB2605- 63 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student 
2exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the 
3suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this 
4Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) 
5of this Section, it shall be documented whether other 
6interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that 
7there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
8 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer 
9than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available 
10support services during the period of their suspension. For 
11purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available 
12support services" shall be determined by school authorities. 
13Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of 
14this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are 
15to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no 
16such appropriate and available services.
17 A school district may refer students who are expelled to 
18appropriate and available support services.
19 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the 
20re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school, 
21expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
22 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which 
23suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the 
24school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school, 
25shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent 
26academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's 
 
 
HB2605- 64 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil 
2suspended from the school bus does not have alternate 
3transportation to school. 
4 (c) A school board must invite a representative from a 
5local mental health agency to consult with the board at the 
6meeting whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be 
7the cause of a student's expulsion or suspension.

8 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to 
9provide ongoing professional development to teachers, 
10administrators, school board members, school resource 
11officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school 
12exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom 
13management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, the 
14appropriate and available supportive services for the 
15promotion of student attendance and engagement, and 
16developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote 
17positive and healthy school climates. 
18 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of 
19time not to
exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a 
20case-by-case basis.
A student who
is determined to have 
21brought one of the following objects to school, any 
22school-sponsored activity
or event, or any activity or event 
23that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be 
24expelled for a period of not less than
one year:
25  (1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section, 
26 "firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined

2 firearm as defined in Section 2-7.5 1.1 of the Firearm 
3 Owners Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in 
4 Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The expulsion 
5 period under this subdivision (1) may be modified by the 
6 superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may 
7 be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
8  (2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon

11 harm, including "look alikes" of any firearm as defined in 
12 subdivision (1) of this subsection (d). The expulsion 
13 requirement under this subdivision (2) may be modified by 
14 the superintendent, and the superintendent's determination 
15 may be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis. 
16Expulsion
or suspension
shall be construed in a
manner 
17consistent with the federal Individuals with Disabilities 
18Education
Act. A student who is subject to suspension or 
19expulsion as provided in this
Section may be eligible for a 
20transfer to an alternative school program in
accordance with 
21Article 13A of the School Code.

22 (d-5) The board may suspend or by regulation
authorize the 
23superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant

24principal, or dean of students of any
school to suspend a 
25student for a period not to exceed
10 school days or may expel 
26a student for a definite period of time not to
exceed 2 
 
 
HB2605- 66 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i) 
2that student has been determined to have made an explicit 
3threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a 
4student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet 
5website through which the threat was made is a site that was 
6accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or 
7was available to third parties who worked or studied within 
8the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii) 
9the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to 
10the safety and security of the threatened individual because 
11of his or her duties or employment status or status as a 
12student inside the school.

13 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school 
14authorities may
inspect and search places and areas such as

16equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well
as 
17personal effects left in those places and areas by students, 
18without notice
to or the consent of the student, and without a 
19search warrant. As a matter of
public policy, the General 
20Assembly finds that students have no reasonable
expectation of 
21privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects

22left in these places and areas. School authorities may request 
23the assistance
of law enforcement officials for the purpose of 
24conducting inspections and
searches of lockers, desks, parking 
25lots, and other school property and
equipment owned or 
26controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or
other

1illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including 
2searches conducted
through the use of specially trained dogs. 
3If a search conducted in accordance
with this Section produces 
4evidence that the student has violated or is
violating either 
5the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,

6such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and 
7disciplinary action may
be taken. School authorities may also 
8turn over such evidence to law
enforcement authorities.

9 (f) Suspension or expulsion may include suspension or 
10expulsion from
school and all school activities and a 
11prohibition from being present on school
grounds.

12 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if 
13a student
is suspended or expelled for any reason from any 
14public or private school
in this or any other state, the 
15student must complete the entire term of
the suspension or 
16expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A 
17of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program 
18under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the 
19school
district if there is no threat to the safety of students 
20or staff in the alternative program.

22students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic 
23difficulties.
24 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a 
25disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude 
26requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen, 
 
 
HB2605- 68 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1or damaged property.
2 (j) Subsections (a) through (i) of this Section shall

4special charter districts, and school districts organized 
5under Article 34 of this Code.

11suspension program provided by a school district for any 
12students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on 
13promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive 
14interaction with other students and school personnel. A school

2pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the 
3school bus
from riding the school bus, pursuant to subsections 
4(b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action
shall lie 
5against them for such suspension. The board may by policy

6authorize the superintendent of the district or the principal, 
7assistant
principal, or dean of students of any
school to 
8suspend pupils guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed

910 school days. If a pupil is suspended due to gross 
10disobedience or misconduct
on a school bus, the board may 
11suspend the pupil in excess of 10
school
days for safety 
12reasons. 
13 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the

14parents or guardians of a pupil along with a full statement of 
15the
reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to 
16a review. The school board must be given a summary of the 
17notice, including the reason for the suspension and the 
18suspension length. Upon request of the
parents or guardians, 
19the school board or a hearing officer appointed by
it shall 
20review such action of the superintendent or principal, 
21assistant
principal, or dean of students. At such
review, the 
22parents or guardians of the pupil may appear and discuss the

23suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing 
24officer
is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board 
25a written summary
of the evidence heard at the meeting. After 
26its hearing or upon receipt
of the written report of its 
 
 
HB2605- 71 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1hearing officer, the board may take such
action as it finds 
2appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this 
3subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension 
4decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or 
5misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The 
6suspension decision shall also include a rationale as to the 
7specific duration of the suspension. A pupil who is suspended 
8in excess of 20 school days may be immediately transferred to 
9an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A 
10or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer 
11because of the suspension, except in cases in which such 
12transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students 
13or staff in the alternative program.

14 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions 
15and consequences available to school officials, school 
16exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, 
17are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number 
18and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest 
19extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them 
20only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that 
21students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is 
22recommended that school officials consider forms of 
23non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school 
24suspensions or expulsions.
25 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this 
26Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies 
 
 
HB2605- 72 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1by which school administrators are required to suspend or 
2expel students for particular behaviors.
3 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be 
4used only if the student's continuing presence in school would 
5pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other 
6students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this 
7subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to 
8other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on 
9a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee. 
10School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve 
11such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the 
12length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
13 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code, 
14out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, 
15and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used 
16only if other appropriate and available behavioral and 
17disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the 
18student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose 
19a
threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of

20the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or

21interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of 
22this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other 
23students, staff, or members of the school community" and 
24"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the 
25operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case 
26basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection 
 
 
HB2605- 73 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and 
2available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been 
3exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials 
4shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats, 
5address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student 
6exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the 
7suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this 
8Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) 
9of this Section, it shall be documented whether other 
10interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that 
11there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
12 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer 
13than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available 
14support services during the period of their suspension. For 
15purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available 
16support services" shall be determined by school authorities. 
17Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of 
18this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are 
19to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no 
20such appropriate and available services.
21 A school district may refer students who are expelled to 
22appropriate and available support services.
23 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the 
24re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school, 
25expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
26 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which 
 
 
HB2605- 74 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the 
2school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school, 
3shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent 
4academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's 
5parents or guardians to notify school officials that a pupil 
6suspended from the school bus does not have alternate 
7transportation to school. 
8 (b-35) In all suspension review hearings conducted
under 
9subsection (b) or expulsion hearings conducted
under 
10subsection (a), a student may disclose any factor to be 
11considered in mitigation, including his or her status as
a 
12parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual 
13violence, as defined in Article 26A. A representative of the

14parent's or guardian's choice, or of the student's choice if 
15emancipated, must be permitted to represent
the student 
16throughout the proceedings and to address the school board or 
17its appointed hearing officer. With the
approval of the 
18student's parent or guardian, or of the student if 
19emancipated, a support person
must be permitted to accompany 
20the student to any disciplinary
hearings or proceedings. The 
21representative or support person must comply with any rules of 
22the school district's hearing process. If the representative 
23or support person violates the rules or engages in behavior or 
24advocacy that harasses, abuses, or intimidates either party, a 
25witness, or anyone else in attendance at the hearing, the 
26representative or support person may be prohibited from 
 
 
HB2605- 75 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1further participation in the hearing or proceeding. A 
2suspension or expulsion proceeding
under this subsection 
3(b-35) must be conducted independently
from any ongoing 
4criminal investigation or proceeding, and an absence of 
5pending or possible criminal charges, criminal investigations, 
6or proceedings may not be a factor in school
disciplinary 
7decisions.
8 (b-40) During a suspension review hearing conducted
under 
9subsection (b) or an expulsion hearing conducted
under 
10subsection (a) that involves allegations of sexual
violence by 
11the student who is subject to discipline, neither
the student 
12nor his or her representative shall directly
question nor have 
13direct contact with the alleged victim. The
student who is 
14subject to discipline or his or her
representative may, at the 
15discretion and direction of the
school board or its appointed 
16hearing officer, suggest
questions to be posed by the school 
17board or its appointed
hearing officer to the alleged victim. 
18 (c) A school board must invite a representative from a 
19local mental health agency to consult with the board at the 
20meeting whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be 
21the cause of a student's expulsion or suspension.

22 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to 
23provide ongoing professional development to teachers, 
24administrators, school board members, school resource 
25officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school 
26exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom

4developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote 
5positive and healthy school climates. 
6 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of 
7time not to
exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a 
8case-by-case basis.
A student who
is determined to have 
9brought one of the following objects to school, any 
10school-sponsored activity
or event, or any activity or event 
11that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be

17threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a 
18student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet 
19website through which the threat was made is a site that was 
20accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or 
21was available to third parties who worked or studied within 
22the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii) 
23the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to 
24the safety and security of the threatened individual because 
25of his or her duties or employment status or status as a 
26student inside the school.

as 
5personal effects left in those places and areas by students, 
6without notice
to or the consent of the student, and without a 
7search warrant. As a matter of
public policy, the General 
8Assembly finds that students have no reasonable
expectation of 
9privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects

10left in these places and areas. School authorities may request 
11the assistance
of law enforcement officials for the purpose of 
12conducting inspections and
searches of lockers, desks, parking 
13lots, and other school property and
equipment owned or 
14controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or
other

15illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including 
16searches conducted

17If a search conducted in accordance
with this Section produces 
18evidence that the student has violated or is
violating either 
19the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,

20such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and 
21disciplinary action may
be taken. School authorities may also 
22turn over such evidence to law
enforcement authorities.

23 (f) Suspension or expulsion may include suspension or 
24expulsion from
school and all school activities and a 
25prohibition from being present on school
grounds.

26 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if 
 
 
HB2605- 79 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1a student
is suspended or expelled for any reason from any 
2public or private school
in this or any other state, the 
3student must complete the entire term of
the suspension or 
4expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A 
5of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program 
6under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the 
7school
district if there is no threat to the safety of students 
8or staff in the alternative program. A school district that 
9adopts a policy under this subsection (g) must include a 
10provision allowing for consideration of any mitigating 
11factors, including, but not limited to, a student's status as 
12a parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual 
13violence, as defined in Article 26A.

22apply to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools, 
23special charter districts, and school districts organized 
24under Article 34 of this Code. 
25 (k) The expulsion of children enrolled in programs funded 
26under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements 
 
 
HB2605- 80 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b

2this Code.
3 (l) Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, an in-school 
4suspension program provided by a school district for any 
5students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on 
6promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive 
7interaction with other students and school personnel. A school 
8district may employ a school social worker or a licensed 
9mental health professional to oversee an in-school suspension 
10program in kindergarten through grade 12.

10 days of an
instance. The record shall include the date and 
11 time of the

any other information as the Department 
13 may require. Failure
to provide this information to the 
14 Department or failure to
maintain the record as a part of 
15 each armed employee's
permanent file is grounds for 
16 disciplinary action. The
Department, upon receipt of a 
17 report, shall have the authority
to make any investigation 
18 it considers appropriate into any
occurrence in which an 
19 employee's weapon was discharged and to

8 Section 50. The Mental Health and Developmental 
9Disabilities Code is amended by changing Sections 1-106, 
101-116, 6-103.1, 6-103.2, and 6-103.3 as follows:



11 (405 ILCS 5/1-106) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-106)



12 Sec. 1-106. 
"Developmental disability" means a severe, 
13chronic disability, other than mental illness, found to be 
14closely related to an intellectual disability because this 
15condition results in impairment of general intellectual 
16functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of persons 
17with ID, and requires services similar to those required for a 
18person with an intellectual disability. In addition, a 
19developmental disability: (1) is manifested before the 
20individual reaches 22 years of age; (2) is likely to continue 
21indefinitely; (3) results in substantial functional 
22limitations in three or more of the following areas of major 
23life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language, 
24learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent 
 
 
HB2605- 101 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1living, or economic self-sufficiency; and (4) reflects the 
2individual's need for a combination and sequence of special 
3interdisciplinary or generic services, individualized 
4supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or 
5extended duration and are individually planned and 
6coordinated. This definition does not supersede the 
7"developmental disability" definition in Section 1.1 of the 
8Firearm Owners Identification Card Act which is required to be 
9applied under that Act for the purpose of mandatory reporting.

10(Source: P.A. 102-972, eff. 1-1-23.)




11 (405 ILCS 5/1-116) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-116)



12 Sec. 1-116. Intellectual disability. "Intellectual 
13disability" means a disorder with onset during the 
14developmental period (before the individual reaches age 22), 
15that includes both intellectual and adaptive deficits in 
16conceptual, social and practical domains. The following 3 
17criteria must be met: (1) deficits in intellectual functions 
18such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract 
19thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from 
20experience confirmed by both clinical assessment and 
21individualized, standardized intelligence testing (generally 
22indicated with an IQ score of about 70 or below), (2) deficits 
23in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet 
24developmental and sociocultural standards for personal 
25independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing 
 
 
HB2605- 102 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or 
2more activities of daily life, such as communication, social 
3participation, and independent living, across multiple 
4environments, such as home, school, work, and community, and 
5(3) onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the 
6developmental period. This definition does not supersede the 
7"intellectual disability" definition in Section 1.1 of the 
8Firearm Owners Identification Card Act which is required to be 
9applied under that Act for the purpose of mandatory reporting.

13disability. When a person has been adjudicated as a person 
14with a mental disability as defined in Section 1.1 of the 
15Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, including, but not 
16limited to, an adjudication as a person with a disability as 
17defined in Section 11a-2 of the Probate Act of 1975, the court

2determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful 
3authority that the person, as a result of marked subnormal 
4intelligence, or mental illness, mental impairment, 
5incompetency, condition, or disease:

5defendant's appearance in court, ensure the defendant does not 
6commit any criminal offense, ensure the defendant complies 
7with all conditions of pretrial release,
prevent the 
8defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly

15 Sec. 112A-11.1. Procedure for determining whether certain 
16misdemeanor crimes
are crimes of domestic violence for 
17purposes of federal
law.
18 (a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of 
19Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the 
20Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State 
21may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after 
22arraignment, for the purpose of notification to the Illinois 
23State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve 
24on the defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that 
25conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the 
 
 
HB2605- 300 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the 
2relationship between the defendant and the alleged victim and 
3the nature of the alleged offense.
4 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person 
5alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the 
6nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C. 
7921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the 
8charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of 
9physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as 
10set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include 
11notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the 
12allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation 
13is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be 
14reported to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's 
15Identification Card Office.
16 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection 
17(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit, 
18orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the 
19offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18 
20U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C. 
21922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section 
22112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18 
23U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State, 
24or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State 
25shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 
26the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 
 
 
HB2605- 301 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay 
2evidence submitted by either party provided that it is 
3relevant to the determination of the allegation. Facts 
4previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of entry of 
5a plea of guilty shall be deemed established beyond a 
6reasonable doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the 
7conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission, 
8as applicable, the court shall make a specific written 
9determination with respect to the allegation.

4 Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection; 
5remedies. 

6 (a) (Blank).

7 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this 
8subsection (b).
The remedies listed in this subsection (b) 
9shall be in addition to other civil
or criminal remedies 
10available to petitioner.

11  (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's 
12 harassment,
interference with personal liberty, 
13 intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse, or willful 
14 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has

15 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not 
16 prohibited.

17  (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. 
18 Prohibit respondent
from entering or remaining in any 
19 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,

20 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner 
21 has a right
to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive 
22 possession of the residence, household, or premises
shall 
23 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be 
24 limited by
the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of 
25 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of 
 
 
HB2605- 303 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 Marriage Act.

2   (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to 
3 occupancy of a
residence or household if it is
solely 
4 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's 
5 spouse, a
person with a legal duty to support that 
6 party or a minor child in that
party's care, or by any 
7 person or entity other than the opposing party that

8 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic 
9 violence shelter).
Standards set forth in subparagraph 
10 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.

11   (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and 
12 respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a 
13 residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) 
14 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or

15 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from 
16 entry of this remedy with (ii)
the hardships to 
17 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in

18 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to 
19 the risk of abuse (should
petitioner remain at the 
20 residence or household) or from loss of possession
of 
21 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to 
22 avoid the risk
of abuse). When determining the balance 
23 of hardships, the court shall also
take into account 
24 the accessibility of the residence or household.

25 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not 
26 have a right to occupancy.

 
 
HB2605- 304 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1   The balance of hardships is presumed to favor 
2 possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is 
3 rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing 
4 that the hardships to respondent substantially 
5 outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor 
6 child or dependent adult in petitioner's
care. The 
7 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own 
8 motion,
may order respondent to provide suitable, 
9 accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead 
10 of
excluding respondent from a mutual residence or 
11 household.

12  (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order 
13 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other 
14 person
protected by the domestic violence order of 
15 protection, or prohibit respondent from entering
or 
16 remaining present at petitioner's school, place of 
17 employment, or other
specified places at times when 
18 petitioner is present, or both, if
reasonable, given
the 
19 balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for 
20 the court
to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry
if 
21 respondent has no right to enter the premises.

22   (A) If a domestic violence order of protection 
23 grants petitioner exclusive possession
of the 
24 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the 
25 residence,
or orders respondent to stay away from 
26 petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court 
 
 
HB2605- 305 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove 
2 items of clothing and personal adornment
used 
3 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other 
4 items as the court directs.
The right to access shall 
5 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs

6 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third 
7 party or law enforcement officer.

8   (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend 
9 the same public, private, or non-public elementary, 
10 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a 
11 domestic violence order of protection and providing 
12 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any 
13 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to 
14 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to 
15 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State 
16 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent 
17 to another school, a change of placement or a change of 
18 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, 
19 and educational disruption that would be caused by a 
20 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any 
21 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order 
22 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or 
23 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended 
24 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a 
25 change of placement or change of program, as 
26 determined by the school district or private or 
 
 
HB2605- 306 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 non-public school, or place restrictions on the 
2 respondent's movements within the school attended by 
3 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of 
4 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a 
5 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of 
6 the respondent is not available. The respondent also 
7 bears the burden of production with respect to the 
8 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that 
9 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to 
10 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or 
11 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent 
12 solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
13 agree with the school district's or private or 
14 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or 
15 change of program or solely on the ground that the 
16 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise 
17 does not take an action required to effectuate a 
18 transfer, change of placement, or change of program. 
19 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the 
20 public, private, or non-public school attended by the 
21 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to 
22 another attendance center within the respondent's 
23 school district or private or non-public school, the 
24 school district or private or non-public school shall 
25 have sole discretion to determine the attendance 
26 center to which the respondent is transferred. If the 
 
 
HB2605- 307 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 court order results in a transfer of the minor 
2 respondent to another attendance center, a change in 
3 the respondent's placement, or a change of the 
4 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal 
5 custodian of the respondent is responsible for 
6 transportation and other costs associated with the 
7 transfer or change.
8   (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or 
9 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain 
10 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to 
11 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If 
12 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to 
13 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal 
14 custodian of the respondent is responsible for 
15 transportation and other costs associated with the 
16 change of school by the respondent. 
17  (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to 
18 undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social 
19 worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, 
20 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or
substance 
21 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor, 
22 agency
providing services to elders, program designed for 
23 domestic violence
abusers, or any other guidance service 
24 the court deems appropriate. The court may order the 
25 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report 
26 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol 
 
 
HB2605- 308 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 approved partner abuse intervention program for an 
2 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment. 

3  (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. 
4 In order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, 
5 or unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the 
6 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect 
7 the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either 
8 or both of the following:
(i) grant petitioner physical 
9 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or
(ii) 
10 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove 
11 a minor child
from, the physical care of a parent or person 
12 in loco parentis.

13  If the respondent is charged with abuse
(as defined in 
14 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall 
15 be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to 
16 respondent would not
be in the minor child's best 
17 interest.

18  (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities 
19 and significant decision-making responsibilities.
Award 
20 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to 
21 petitioner in accordance with this Section,
the Illinois 
22 Marriage
and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois 
23 Parentage Act of 2015,
and this State's Uniform 
24 Child-Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. 

25  If the respondent
is charged with abuse (as defined in 
26 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a
minor child, there shall 
 
 
HB2605- 309 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding
temporary 
2 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent 
3 would not be in the
child's best interest.

4  (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if 
5 any, of respondent in any case in which the court
awards 
6 physical care or temporary significant decision-making 
7 responsibility of a minor child to
petitioner. The court 
8 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with
a 
9 minor child if
the court finds that respondent has done or 
10 is likely to do any of the
following:
11   (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during 
12 parenting time;
13   (ii) use the parenting time
as an opportunity to 
14 abuse or harass petitioner or
petitioner's family or 
15 household members;
16   (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the minor 
17 child; or
18   (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in
the 
19 best interests of the minor child. 
20  The court shall not be limited by the
standards set 
21 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and

22 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting 
23 time, the order
shall specify dates and times for the 
24 parenting time to take place or other
specific parameters 
25 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting 
26 time
shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting 
 
 
HB2605- 310 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor 
2 child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time, 
3 respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and 
4 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of

5 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving 
6 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect 
7 any member of petitioner's family or
household from future 
8 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to

9 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for 
10 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent
shall 
11 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable

12 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may 
13 be approved to
supervise parenting time only after filing 
14 an affidavit accepting
that responsibility and 
15 acknowledging accountability to the court.

16  (8) Removal or concealment of minor child.
Prohibit 
17 respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or 
18 concealing the child within the
State.

19  (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to
appear in 
20 court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, 
21 neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return 
22 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or
to 
23 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the 
24 child or the
respondent.

25  (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner 
26 exclusive
possession of personal property and, if 
 
 
HB2605- 311 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to 
2 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:

3   (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the 
4 property; or

5   (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the 
6 property jointly; sharing it would risk
abuse of 
7 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the 
8 balance of
hardships favors temporary possession by 
9 petitioner.

10  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
11 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
12 award petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the 
13 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a 
14 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois 
15 Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or 
16 hereafter amended.

17  No order under this provision shall affect title to 
18 property.

19  (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent 
20 from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, 
21 damaging, or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal 
22 property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, 
23 if:

24   (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the 
25 property; or

26   (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the 
 
 
HB2605- 312 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 property jointly,
and the balance of hardships favors 
2 granting this remedy.

3  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
4 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
5 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this 
6 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under 
7 the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as 
8 now or hereafter amended.

9  The court may further prohibit respondent from 
10 improperly using the
financial or other resources of an 
11 aged member of the family or household
for the profit or 
12 advantage of respondent or of any other person.

13  (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the 
14 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, 
15 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner 
16 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the 
17 residence or household of either the petitioner or the 
18 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the 
19 animal and forbid the respondent from taking, 
20 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or 
21 otherwise disposing of the animal.

22  (12) Order for payment of support. Order
respondent to 
23 pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in 
24 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been 
25 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has 
26 a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance 
 
 
HB2605- 313 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage 
2 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount 
3 of
support, payment through the clerk and withholding of 
4 income to secure
payment. An order for child support may 
5 be granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care of a 
6 child, or an order or agreement for
physical care of a 
7 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant 
8 decision-making responsibility.
Such a support order shall 
9 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental 
10 responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's 
11 significant decision-making responsibility unless 
12 otherwise provided in the order.

13  (13) Order for payment of losses. Order
respondent to 
14 pay petitioner
for losses suffered as a direct result of 
15 the abuse. Such losses shall
include, but not be limited 
16 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other
support, 
17 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken, 
18 reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or 
19 other travel expenses, including
additional reasonable 
20 expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.

21   (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is 
22 entitled to seek
maintenance, child support, or 
23 property distribution from the other party
under the 
24 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as 
25 now or
hereafter amended, the court may order 
26 respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to 
 
 
HB2605- 314 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 the extent that such reimbursement would be 
2 "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by 
3 subsection (a)(3) of
Section 501 of that Act.

4   (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an 
5 improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the 
6 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable

7 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for 
8 and recovery of the
minor child, including, but not 
9 limited to, legal fees, court costs, private

10 investigator fees, and travel costs.

11  (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent 
12 from entering or
remaining in the residence or household 
13 while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or 
14 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and

15 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.

16  (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession. 
17   (A) A person who is subject to an existing 
18 domestic violence order of protection issued under 
19 this Code may not lawfully possess firearms, stun 
20 guns, or tasers weapons or a Firearm Owner's 
21 Identification Card under Section 8.2 of the Firearm 
22 Owners Identification Card Act.
23   (B) Any firearms in the
possession of the 
24 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of 
25 this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court 
26 to be turned
over to a person who is not prohibited

 
 
HB2605- 315 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 under State or federal law from possessing firearms 
2 with a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card for 
3 safekeeping. The court shall issue an order that the 
4 respondent comply with Section 9.5 of the Firearm 
5 Owners Identification Card Act.

6   (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as 
7 defined in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, 
8 the court shall order that any firearms used by the

9 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a

10 peace officer be surrendered to
the chief law 
11 enforcement executive of the agency in which the 
12 respondent is
employed, who shall retain the firearms 
13 for safekeeping for the duration of the domestic 
14 violence order of protection.

15   (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, 
16 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
17 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent 
18 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to 
19 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to 
20 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law 
21 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law 
22 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the 
23 firearms for training purposes, or for any other 
24 application as deemed appropriate by the local law 
25 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned 
26 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to 
 
 
HB2605- 316 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


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

13  (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order 
14 respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary 
15 housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the 
16 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and 
17 deemed reasonable by the court.

18  (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive 
19 relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse 
20 of a family or household member or
to effectuate one of the 
21 granted remedies, if supported by the balance of

22 hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the injunction 
23 is abuse or any
other harm that one of the remedies listed 
24 in paragraphs (1) through (16)
of this subsection is 
25 designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary
to 
26 establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.

 
 
HB2605- 317 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1  (18) Telephone services.
2   (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph 
3 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon 
4 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone 
5 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the 
6 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers 
7 indicated by the petitioner and the financial 
8 responsibility associated with the number or numbers, 
9 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In 
10 this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone 
11 service provider" means a provider of commercial 
12 mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The 
13 petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone 
14 number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or 
15 her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve 
16 the order on the wireless telephone service provider's 
17 agent for service of process provided to the Illinois 
18 Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of 
19 the following: 
20    (i) The name and billing telephone number of 
21 the account holder including the name of the 
22 wireless telephone service provider that serves 
23 the account.
24    (ii) Each telephone number that will be 
25 transferred.
26    (iii) A statement that the provider transfers 
 
 
HB2605- 318 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for 
2 and right to the use of any telephone number 
3 transferred under this paragraph.
4   (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall 
5 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer 
6 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or 
7 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this 
8 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 
9 hours after it receives the order, that one of the 
10 following applies:
11    (i) The account holder named in the order has 
12 terminated the account.
13    (ii) A difference in network technology would 
14 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on 
15 a network if the transfer occurs.
16    (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or 
17 other limitation on network or service provision 
18 to the petitioner.
19    (iv) Another technological or operational 
20 issue would prevent or impair the use of the 
21 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
22   (C) The petitioner assumes all financial 
23 responsibility for and right to the use of any 
24 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In 
25 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes 
26 monthly service costs and costs associated with any 
 
 
HB2605- 319 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 mobile device associated with the number.
2   (D) A wireless telephone service provider may 
3 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary 
4 requirements for establishing an account or 
5 transferring a number, including requiring the 
6 petitioner to provide proof of identification, 
7 financial information, and customer preferences.

8   (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a 
9 wireless telephone service provider is immune from 
10 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance 
11 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
12   (F) All wireless service providers that provide 
13 services to residential customers shall provide to the 
14 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of 
15 an agent for service of orders entered under this 
16 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered 
17 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce 
18 Commission within 30 days of such change. 
19   (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall 
20 maintain the list of registered agents for service for 
21 each wireless telephone service provider on the 
22 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with 
23 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit 
24 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information 
25 is provided and displayed. 
26 (c) Relevant factors; findings.

 
 
HB2605- 320 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1  (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy, 
2 other than payment of support, the
court shall consider 
3 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the

4 following:

5   (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and 
6 consequences of the
respondent's past abuse of the 
7 petitioner or any family or household
member, 
8 including the concealment of his or her location in 
9 order to evade
service of process or notice, and the 
10 likelihood of danger of future abuse to
petitioner or

11 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or 
12 household; and

13   (ii) the danger that any minor child will be 
14 abused or neglected or
improperly relocated from the 
15 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State, 
16 or improperly separated from the child's primary 
17 caretaker.

18  (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the 
19 parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the 
20 court shall consider relevant
factors, including, but not 
21 limited to, the following:

22   (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, 
23 adequacy, location, and other
characteristics of 
24 alternate housing for each party and any minor child 
25 or
dependent adult in the party's care;

26   (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and

 
 
HB2605- 321 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1   (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, 
2 and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's 
3 care, to family, school, church,
and community.

4  (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 
5 (4) of this
subsection (c), the court shall make its 
6 findings in an official record or in
writing, and shall at 
7 a minimum set forth the following:

8   (i) That the court has considered the applicable 
9 relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) 
10 of this subsection (c).

11   (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, 
12 unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm 
13 or continued abuse.

14   (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the 
15 requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or 
16 other alleged abused persons.

17  (4) (Blank).

18  (5) Never married parties. No rights or 
19 responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of 
20 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and

21 child relationship has been established under the Illinois 
22 Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, 
23 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital 
24 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate 
25 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, 
26 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, 
 
 
HB2605- 322 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 administrative, or other act of another state or 
2 territory, any other statute of this State, or by any 
3 foreign nation establishing the father and child 
4 relationship, any other proceeding substantially in 
5 conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and 
6 Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both 
7 parties appeared in open court or at an administrative 
8 hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by 
9 affirmation the existence of a father and child 
10 relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative 
11 father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental 
12 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor 
13 child, or
physical care
and possession of the minor child, 
14 nor shall
an order of payment for support of the minor 
15 child be entered.

16 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds 
17that the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of 
18a remedy 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

22result in hardship to respondent that would substantially 
23outweigh the hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. 
24The findings shall 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:

 
 
HB2605- 323 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 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 
12 avoid further abuse
by respondent;

13  (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or 
14 household to avoid further
abuse by respondent; or 

15  (7) conduct by any family or household member excused 
16 the abuse by
respondent, unless that same conduct would 
17 have excused such abuse if the
parties had not been family 
18 or household members.

25addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to 
 
 
HB2605- 324 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1petitioner.
A stalking no contact order shall order one or 
2more of the following:

18 a qualifying predicate offense, the person shall be 
19 sentenced to a term of imprisonment within the sentencing

18 nature and
circumstances of the crime and to the history 
19 and character of the defendant, finds on the record

truthfully 
20 on behalf of another prosecution of a felony; and

23 educational or vocational training, after taking into 
24 account any past rehabilitation efforts or 
25 dispositions of probation or supervision, and the 
26 defendant's cooperation or response to rehabilitation.

the 
2circuit court shall pay all moneys collected from these fees 
3to the county
treasurer who shall use the moneys collected to

23court to which jurisdiction has been
transferred shall have 
24the same powers as the sentencing court.
The probation 
25department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been 
26transferred, or which has agreed to provide supervision, may 
 
 
HB2605- 407 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b

17court, unless after
determining the inability of the person 
18sentenced to probation or conditional
discharge or supervised 
19community service to pay the
fee, the court assesses a lesser 
20fee. The court may not impose the fee on a
minor who is placed 
21in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children 
22and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
while 
23the minor is in placement.

per month unless the circuit 
7court has adopted, by administrative
order issued by the chief 
8judge, a standard probation fee guide
determining an 
9offender's ability to pay. Of the
amount collected as a 
10probation fee, up to $5 of that fee
collected per month may be 
11used to provide services to crime victims
and their families.
12 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an 
13offender's ability to pay. The probation department may 
14re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and, 
15with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the 
16Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An 
17offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum.

18offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a 
19probation department, or has been transferred either under 
20subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate 
21compact, shall be required to pay probation fees to the 
22department supervising the offender, based on the offender's 
23ability to pay.


24 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee 
25under this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616. 
26This deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the 
 
 
HB2605- 409 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


193rd General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee 
2increase.

11treatment, and monitoring the offender, based on that 
12offender's ability to pay those costs either as they occur or 
13under a payment plan.

15violation of
Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle 
16Code, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and any 
17violation of the Child Passenger
Protection Act, or a similar 
18provision of a local ordinance, shall be

9 Section 95. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended 
10by changing Section 80 as follows:

11 (740 ILCS 21/80)

12 Sec. 80. Stalking no contact orders; remedies.
13 (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a 
14victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue; 
15provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the 
16requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100 
17on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a 
18stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the 
19respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or 
20not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require 
21physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification 
22and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in 
23accordance with this Act.
24 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of 
 
 
HB2605- 411 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1the following:
2  (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit 
3 or committing stalking;
4  (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with 
5 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the 
6 court;
7  (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming 
8 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance 
9 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school, 
10 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place 
11 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order 
12 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own 
13 residence, school, or place of employment only if the 
14 respondent has been provided actual notice of the 
15 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
16  (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm 
17 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying 
18 firearms; and
19  (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines 
20 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party 
21 specifically named by the court.
22 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the 
23same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or 
24high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact 
25order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the 
26act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to 
 
 
HB2605- 412 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the 
2petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the 
3availability of a transfer of the respondent to another 
4school, a change of placement or a change of program of the 
5respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational 
6disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the 
7respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of 
8the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend 
9the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high 
10school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent 
11accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the 
12school district or private or non-public school, or place 
13restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school 
14attended by the petitioner.
The respondent bears the burden of 
15proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, 
16change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is 
17not available. The respondent also bears the burden of 
18production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and 
19educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of 
20the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of 
21placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the 
22respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
23agree with the school district's or private or non-public 
24school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program 
25or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to 
26consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to 
 
 
HB2605- 413 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of 
2program.

3public, private, or non-public school attended by the 
4petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another 
5attendance center within the respondent's school district or 
6private or non-public school, the school district or private 
7or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine 
8the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.

9In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor 
10respondent to another attendance center, a change in the 
11respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's 
12program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the 
13respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs 
14associated with the transfer or change. 
15 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal 
16custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to 
17refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the 
18respondent complies with the order. In the event the court 
19orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the 
20parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are 
21responsible for transportation and other costs associated with 
22the change of school by the respondent. 
23 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or 
24private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil 
25or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or 
26non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
 
 
HB2605- 414 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal 
2custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt 
3for a violation of any provision of any order entered under 
4this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of 
5this Act if the
parents, guardian, or legal custodian 
6directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such 
7conduct. 
8 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys 
9fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
10 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
11 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the 
12respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification 
13Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall 
14confiscate the respondent's firearms Firearm Owner's 
15Identification Card and immediately return the card to the 
16Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
17Office.

4 Sec. 210. Process. 

5 (a) Summons. Any action for an order
of protection, 
6whether commenced alone or in conjunction with another

7proceeding, is a distinct cause of action and requires that a 
8separate
summons be issued and served, except that in pending 
9cases the following
methods may be used:

10  (1) By delivery of the summons to respondent 
11 personally in open
court in pending civil or criminal 
12 cases.

13  (2) By notice in accordance with Section 210.1 in 
14 civil cases in which
the defendant has filed a general 
15 appearance.

16 The summons shall be in the form prescribed
by Supreme 
17Court Rule 101(d), except that it shall require respondent to

18answer or appear within 7 days.
Attachments to the summons or 
19notice shall include the petition for order
of protection and 
20supporting affidavits, if any, and any emergency order of

21protection that has been issued. The enforcement of an order 
22of protection
under Section 223 shall not be affected by the 
23lack of service, delivery,

24requirements of subsection (d) of that Section are
otherwise 
25met.

 
 
HB2605- 423 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 (b) Blank.

2 (c) Expedited service. The summons shall be served by the 
3sheriff or
other law enforcement officer at the earliest time 
4and shall take
precedence over other summonses except those of 
5a similar emergency nature.
Special process servers may be 
6appointed at any time, and their
designation shall not affect 
7the responsibilities and authority of the
sheriff or other 
8official process servers. In counties with a population over 
93,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if 
10the order of protection grants the surrender of a child, the 
11surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card, 
12or the exclusive possession of a shared residence.

13 (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling, 
14payment of
support, payment of shelter services,
and payment 
15of losses remedies provided by paragraphs 4,
12, 13, and 16 of 
16subsection (b) of Section 214 may be granted only if

226, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 14, 15, and 17 of subsection
(b) of Section 
23214, but only if: (i) petitioner has made all reasonable

24efforts to accomplish actual service of process personally 
25upon respondent,
but respondent cannot be found to effect such 
26service and (ii) petitioner
files an affidavit or presents 
 
 
HB2605- 424 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1sworn testimony
as to those efforts.

2 (f) Default. A plenary order of protection may be entered 
3by default as follows:

4  (1) For any of the remedies sought in the petition, if 
5 respondent

6 with subsection (a) and if
respondent then fails to appear 
7 as directed or fails to appear on any subsequent

8 appearance or hearing date agreed to by the parties or set 
9 by the court; or

10  (2) For any of the remedies provided in accordance 
11 with subsection

21 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)

22 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies. 

23 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner 
24has been
abused by a family or household member or that 
25petitioner is a high-risk
adult who has been abused, 
 
 
HB2605- 425 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act,
an order of 
2protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation

3shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the 
4requirements of
one of the following Sections, as appropriate: 
5Section 217 on emergency
orders, Section 218 on interim 
6orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders.
Petitioner shall not 
7be denied an order of protection because petitioner or

8respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or 
9not to issue
an order of protection, shall not require 
10physical manifestations of abuse
on the person of the victim. 
11Modification and extension of prior
orders of protection shall 
12be in accordance with this Act.

13 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in 
14an order of
protection shall be determined in accordance with 
15this Section and one of
the following Sections, as 
16appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders,
Section 218 on 
17interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The

18remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to 
19other civil or
criminal remedies available to petitioner.

20  (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. 
21 Prohibit
respondent's harassment, interference with 
22 personal liberty, intimidation
of a dependent, physical 
23 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or
exploitation, as 
24 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as 
25 defined
in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if 
26 such abuse, neglect,
exploitation, or stalking has 
 
 
HB2605- 426 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if
not 
2 prohibited.

3  (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. 
4 Prohibit respondent from
entering or remaining in any 
5 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,

6 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner 
7 has a right to
occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive 
8 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall 
9 not
affect title to real property, nor shall the court be 
10 limited by the standard
set forth in subsection (c-2) of 
11 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of 
12 Marriage
Act.

13   (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to 
14 occupancy of a
residence or household if it is solely 
15 or jointly owned or leased by that
party, that party's 
16 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that 
17 party or
a minor child in that party's care, or by any 
18 person or entity other than the
opposing party that 
19 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic

20 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph 
21 (B) shall not preclude
equitable relief.

22   (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and 
23 respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a 
24 residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) 
25 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or

26 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from 
 
 
HB2605- 427 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 entry of this remedy with
(ii) the hardships to 
2 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in

3 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to 
4 the risk of abuse
(should petitioner remain at the 
5 residence or household) or from loss of
possession of 
6 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to 
7 avoid the
risk of abuse). When determining the balance 
8 of hardships, the court shall
also take into account 
9 the accessibility of the residence or household.

10 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not 
11 have a right to
occupancy.

12   The balance of hardships is presumed to favor 
13 possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is 
14 rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing 
15 that the hardships to respondent substantially 
16 outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor 
17 child or dependent adult in
petitioner's care. The 
18 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own

19 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable, 
20 accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead 
21 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or

22 household.

23  (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order 
24 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other 
25 person
protected by the order of protection, or prohibit 
26 respondent from entering
or remaining present at 
 
 
HB2605- 428 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other

2 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or 
3 both, if
reasonable, given the balance of hardships. 
4 Hardships need not be balanced for
the court to enter a 
5 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no

6 right to enter the premises.

7   (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner 
8 exclusive possession
of the residence, or prohibits 
9 respondent from entering the residence,
or orders 
10 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other

11 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent 
12 access to the
residence to remove items of clothing 
13 and personal adornment
used exclusively by respondent, 
14 medications, and other items as the court
directs. The 
15 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 
18 officer.

19   (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend 
20 the same public, private, or non-public elementary, 
21 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an 
22 order of protection and providing relief shall 
23 consider the severity of the act, any continuing 
24 physical danger or emotional distress to the 
25 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the 
26 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, 
 
 
HB2605- 429 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to 
2 another school, a change of placement or a change of 
3 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, 
4 and educational disruption that would be caused by a 
5 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any 
6 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order 
7 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or 
8 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended 
9 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a 
10 change of placement or change of program, as 
11 determined by the school district or private or 
12 non-public school, or place restrictions on the 
13 respondent's movements within the school attended by 
14 the petitioner.
The respondent bears the burden of 
15 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a 
16 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of 
17 the respondent is not available. The respondent also 
18 bears the burden of production with respect to the 
19 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that 
20 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to 
21 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or 
22 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent 
23 solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
24 agree with the school district's or private or 
25 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or 
26 change of program or solely on the ground that the 
 
 
HB2605- 430 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise 
2 does not take an action required to effectuate a 
3 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.

4 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the 
5 public, private, or non-public school attended by the 
6 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to 
7 another attendance center within the respondent's 
8 school district or private or non-public school, the 
9 school district or private or non-public school shall 
10 have sole discretion to determine the attendance 
11 center to which the respondent is transferred.
In the 
12 event the court order results in a transfer of the 
13 minor respondent to another attendance center, a 
14 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of 
15 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or 
16 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for 
17 transportation and other costs associated with the 
18 transfer or change. 
19   (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or 
20 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain 
21 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to 
22 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In 
23 the event the court orders a transfer of the 
24 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian, 
25 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible 
26 for transportation and other costs associated with the 
 
 
HB2605- 431 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 change of school by the respondent. 
2  (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to 
3 undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social 
4 worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, 
5 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or
substance 
6 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor, 
7 agency
providing services to elders, program designed for 
8 domestic violence
abusers or any other guidance service 
9 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the 
10 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report 
11 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol 
12 approved partner abuse intervention program for an 
13 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment. 

14  (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. 
15 In order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, 
16 or unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the 
17 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect 
18 the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either 
19 or both of the
following: (i) grant petitioner physical 
20 care or possession of the minor child,
or both, or (ii) 
21 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove 
22 a
minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person 
23 in loco parentis.

24  If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has 
25 committed abuse
(as defined in Section 103) of a minor 
26 child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that 
 
 
HB2605- 432 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 awarding physical care to respondent would not
be in the 
2 minor child's best interest.

3  (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities: 
4 significant decision-making. Award temporary 
5 decision-making responsibility to petitioner
in accordance 
6 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution 
7 of
Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and 
8 this State's Uniform
Child-Custody Jurisdiction and 
9 Enforcement Act. 

10  If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has 
11 committed abuse (as
defined in Section 103) of a minor 
12 child, there shall be a rebuttable
presumption that 
13 awarding temporary significant decision-making 
14 responsibility to respondent would not be in
the child's 
15 best interest.

16  (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if 
17 any, of respondent in
any case in which the court awards 
18 physical care or allocates temporary significant 
19 decision-making responsibility of
a minor child to 
20 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's 
21 parenting time
with a minor child if the court finds that 
22 respondent has done or is
likely to do any of the 
23 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during 
24 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an 
25 opportunity to abuse or harass
petitioner or petitioner's 
26 family or household members; (iii) improperly
conceal or 
 
 
HB2605- 433 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner 
2 that is
not in the best interests of the minor child. The 
3 court shall not be limited
by the standards set forth in 
4 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of 
5 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the 
6 order shall
specify dates and times for the parenting time 
7 to take place or other specific
parameters or conditions 
8 that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall

9 refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".

10  Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor 
11 child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time, 
12 respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and 
13 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of

14 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving 
15 in a violent or
abusive manner.

16  If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's 
17 family or
household from future abuse, respondent shall be 
18 prohibited from coming to
petitioner's residence to meet 
19 the minor child for parenting time, and the
parties shall 
20 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable

21 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may 
22 be approved to
supervise parenting time only after filing 
23 an affidavit accepting
that responsibility and 
24 acknowledging accountability to the court.

25  (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit 
26 respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or 
 
 
HB2605- 434 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 concealing the child within the State.


2  (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in 
3 court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, 
4 neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return 
5 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or
to 
6 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the 
7 child or the
respondent.

8  (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner 
9 exclusive
possession of personal property and, if 
10 respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to 
11 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:

12   (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the 
13 property; or

14   (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing 
15 it would risk
abuse of petitioner by respondent or is 
16 impracticable; and the balance of
hardships favors 
17 temporary possession by petitioner.

18  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
19 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
20 award petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the 
21 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a 
22 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois 
23 Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or 
24 hereafter amended.

25  No order under this provision shall affect title to 
26 property.

 
 
HB2605- 435 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1  (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent 
2 from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, 
3 damaging or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal 
4 property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, 
5 if:

6   (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the 
7 property; or

8   (ii) the parties own the property jointly,
and the 
9 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.

10  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
11 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
12 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this 
13 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under 
14 the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as 
15 now or hereafter amended.

16  The court may further prohibit respondent from 
17 improperly using the
financial or other resources of an 
18 aged member of the family or household
for the profit or 
19 advantage of respondent or of any other person.

20  (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the 
21 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, 
22 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner 
23 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the 
24 residence or household of either the petitioner or the 
25 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the 
26 animal and forbid the respondent from taking, 
 
 
HB2605- 436 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or 
2 otherwise disposing of the animal.

3  (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to 
4 pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in 
5 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been 
6 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has 
7 a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance 
8 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage 
9 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount 
10 of
support, payment through the clerk and withholding of 
11 income to secure
payment. An order for child support may 
12 be granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care of a 
13 child, or an order or agreement for
physical care of a 
14 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant 
15 decision-making responsibility.
Such a support order shall 
16 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental 
17 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's 
18 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise 
19 provided in the order.

20  (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to 
21 pay petitioner for
losses suffered as a direct result of 
22 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Such losses shall 
23 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost

24 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of 
25 property damaged or taken,
reasonable attorney's fees, 
26 court costs and moving or other travel expenses,
including 
 
 
HB2605- 437 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and 
2 restaurant
meals.

3   (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is 
4 entitled to seek
maintenance, child support or 
5 property distribution from the other party
under the 
6 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as 
7 now or
hereafter amended, the court may order 
8 respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to 
9 the extent that such reimbursement would be 
10 "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by 
11 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of
that Act.

12   (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an 
13 improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the 
14 court may order respondent to pay the
reasonable 
15 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for 
16 and recovery
of the minor child, including but not 
17 limited to legal fees, court costs,
private 
18 investigator fees, and travel costs.

19  (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent 
20 from entering or
remaining in the residence or household 
21 while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or 
22 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and

23 well-being of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.

24  (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.

25   (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of 
26 protection was issued from possessing any firearms 
 
 
HB2605- 438 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 during the duration of the order if the order:
2    (1) was issued after a hearing of which such 
3 person received
actual notice, and at which such 
4 person had an opportunity to
participate;
5    (2) restrains such person from harassing, 
6 stalking, or
threatening an intimate partner of 
7 such person or child of such
intimate partner or 
8 person, or engaging in other conduct that
would 
9 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of 
10 bodily
injury to the partner or child; and
11    (3)(i) includes a finding that such person 
12 represents a
credible threat to the physical 
13 safety of such intimate partner
or child; or
(ii) 
14 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, 
15 attempted
use, or threatened use of physical force 
16 against such intimate
partner or child that would 
17 reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury.
18  Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the

19 possession of the respondent, except as provided in 
20 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be

24 Identification Card Office
for safekeeping. The court 
25 shall
issue a warrant for seizure of any firearm in the

The period of safekeeping 
3 shall be for the duration of the order of protection. 
4 The firearm or firearms and Firearm Owner's 
5 Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at the 
6 respondent's request, be returned to the respondent at 
7 the end
of the order of protection. It is the 
8 respondent's responsibility to notify the Illinois 
9 State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
10 Office. 

11   (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as 
12 defined in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, 
13 the court shall order that any firearms used by the

14 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a

15 peace officer be surrendered to
the chief law 
16 enforcement executive of the agency in which the 
17 respondent is
employed, who shall retain the firearms 
18 for safekeeping for the duration of the order of 
19 protection.

20   (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, 
21 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
22 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent 
23 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to 
24 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to 
25 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law 
26 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law 
 
 
HB2605- 440 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b

3 application as deemed appropriate by the local law 
4 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned 
5 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to 
6 possess firearms, and who does not reside with 
7 respondent. 
8  (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of 
9 protection
prohibits respondent from having contact with 
10 the minor child,
or if petitioner's address is omitted 
11 under subsection (b) of
Section 203, or if necessary to 
12 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or
concealment of a 
13 minor child, the order shall deny respondent access to, 
14 and
prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or 
15 attempting to
inspect or obtain, school or any other 
16 records of the minor child
who is in the care of 
17 petitioner.

18  (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order 
19 respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary 
20 housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the 
21 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and 
22 deemed reasonable by the court.

23  (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive 
24 relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse 
25 of a family or household member
or further abuse, neglect, 
26 or exploitation of a high-risk adult with
disabilities or 
 
 
HB2605- 441 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by 
2 the
balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by 
3 the injunction is abuse
or any other harm that one of the 
4 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through
(16) of this 
5 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is

6 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.

7  (18) Telephone services.
8   (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph 
9 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon 
10 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone 
11 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the 
12 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers 
13 indicated by the petitioner and the financial 
14 responsibility associated with the number or numbers, 
15 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. 
16 For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term 
17 "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider 
18 of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 
19 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each 
20 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child 
21 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court 
22 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone 
23 service provider's agent for service of process 
24 provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The 
25 order shall contain all of the following:
26    (i) The name and billing telephone number of 
 
 
HB2605- 442 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b

2 wireless telephone service provider that serves 
3 the account.
4    (ii) Each telephone number that will be 
5 transferred.
6    (iii) A statement that the provider transfers 
7 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for 
8 and right to the use of any telephone number 
9 transferred under this paragraph.
10   (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall 
11 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer 
12 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or 
13 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this 
14 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 
15 hours after it receives the order, that one of the 
16 following applies:
17    (i) The account holder named in the order has 
18 terminated the account.
19    (ii) A difference in network technology would 
20 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on 
21 a network if the transfer occurs.
22    (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or 
23 other limitation on network or service provision 
24 to the petitioner.
25    (iv) Another technological or operational 
26 issue would prevent or impair the use of the 
 
 
HB2605- 443 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
2   (C) The petitioner assumes all financial 
3 responsibility for and right to the use of any 
4 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In 
5 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes 
6 monthly service costs and costs associated with any 
7 mobile device associated with the number.
8   (D) A wireless telephone service provider may 
9 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary 
10 requirements for establishing an account or 
11 transferring a number, including requiring the 
12 petitioner to provide proof of identification, 
13 financial information, and customer preferences.

14   (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a 
15 wireless telephone service provider is immune from 
16 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance 
17 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
18   (F) All wireless service providers that provide 
19 services to residential customers shall provide to the 
20 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of 
21 an agent for service of orders entered under this 
22 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered 
23 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce 
24 Commission within 30 days of such change. 
25   (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall 
26 maintain the list of registered agents for service for 
 
 
HB2605- 444 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 each wireless telephone service provider on the 
2 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with 
3 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit 
4 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information 
5 is provided and displayed. 
6 (c) Relevant factors; findings.

7  (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy, 
8 other than
payment of support, the court shall consider

9 relevant factors, including but not limited to the 
10 following:

11   (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and 
12 consequences of the
respondent's past abuse, neglect 
13 or exploitation of the petitioner or
any family or 
14 household member, including the concealment of his or 
15 her
location in order to evade service of process or 
16 notice, and the likelihood of
danger of future abuse, 
17 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member 
18 of
petitioner's or respondent's family or household; 
19 and

20   (ii) the danger that any minor child will be 
21 abused or neglected or
improperly relocated from the 
22 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or 
23 improperly separated from the child's primary 
24 caretaker.

25  (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the 
26 parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the 
 
 
HB2605- 445 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 court shall consider relevant
factors, including but not 
2 limited to the following:

3   (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, 
4 adequacy, location and
other characteristics of 
5 alternate housing for each party and any minor child

6 or dependent adult in the party's care;

7   (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and

8   (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, 
9 and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's 
10 care, to family, school, church
and community.

11  (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 
12 (4) of this
subsection, the court shall make its findings 
13 in an official record or in
writing, and shall at a minimum 
14 set forth the following:

15   (i) That the court has considered the applicable 
16 relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) 
17 of this subsection.

18   (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, 
19 unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm 
20 or continued abuse.

21   (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the 
22 requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or 
23 other alleged abused persons.

24  (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency 
25 order of protection,
the court, as an alternative to or as 
26 a supplement to making the findings
described in 
 
 
HB2605- 446 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this 
2 subsection, may
use the following procedure:

3  When a verified petition for an emergency order of 
4 protection in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 
5 203 and 217 is
presented to the court, the court shall 
6 examine petitioner on oath or
affirmation. An emergency 
7 order of protection shall be issued by the court
if it 
8 appears from the contents of the petition and the 
9 examination of
petitioner that the averments are 
10 sufficient to indicate abuse by
respondent and to support 
11 the granting of relief under the issuance of the
emergency 
12 order of protection.

13  (5) Never married parties. No rights or 
14 responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of 
15 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and

16 child relationship has been established under the Illinois 
17 Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, 
18 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital 
19 Records Act, the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate 
20 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform
Reciprocal Enforcement of 
21 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support
Act, 
22 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, 
23 administrative, or
other act of another state or 
24 territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any
foreign 
25 nation establishing the father and child relationship, any 
26 other
proceeding substantially in conformity with the 
 
 
HB2605- 447 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1 Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity 
2 Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where 
3 both
parties appeared in open court or at an 
4 administrative hearing acknowledging
under
oath or 
5 admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and 
6 child
relationship.
Absent such an adjudication, finding, 
7 or acknowledgment, no putative
father shall be granted

8 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities, 
9 including parenting time with the minor child, or
physical 
10 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order 
11 of payment
for support of the minor child be entered.

12 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds 
13that the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of 
14a remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of 
15subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such 
16balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall 
17include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will

18result in hardship to respondent that would substantially 
19outweigh the hardship
to petitioner from denial of the remedy. 
20The findings shall be an official
record or in writing.

21 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be 
22based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:

23  (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless 
24 that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of 
25 force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;

26  (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;

 
 
HB2605- 448 -LRB103 26047 RLC 52402 b


1  (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of 
2 another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such 
3 force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code 
4 of 2012; 

5  (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense 
6 of another;

7  (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to 
8 avoid further abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by 
9 respondent;

10  (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or 
11 household to avoid further
abuse, neglect, or exploitation 
12 by respondent;

13  (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused 
14 the abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless 
15 that same conduct would have
excused such abuse, neglect, 
16 or exploitation if the parties had not been
family or 
17 household members.
