3searches.
4 (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or
5misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct
6perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20)
7of this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
8expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents
9have been requested to appear at a meeting of the board, or
10with a hearing officer appointed by it, to discuss their
11child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered or
12certified mail and shall state the time, place and purpose of
13the meeting. The board, or a hearing officer appointed by it,
14at such meeting shall state the reasons for dismissal and the
15date on which the expulsion is to become effective. If a
16hearing officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to
17the board a written summary of the evidence heard at the
18meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it finds
19appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written
20expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
21removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the best
22interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also
23include a rationale as to the specific duration of the
24expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to
25an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A or
2613B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer because

SB2535- 20 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1of the expulsion, except in cases in which such transfer is
2deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students or staff in
3the alternative program.
4 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the superintendent
5of the district or the principal, assistant principal, or dean
6of students of any school to suspend pupils guilty of gross
7disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend pupils guilty of
8gross disobedience or misconduct on the school bus from riding
9the school bus, pursuant to subsections (b-15) and (b-20) of
10this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
11suspension. The board may by policy authorize the
12superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
13principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
14guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed 10 school days.
15If a pupil is suspended due to gross disobedience or misconduct
16on a school bus, the board may suspend the pupil in excess of
1710 school days for safety reasons.
18 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the parents
19or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of the
20reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to a
21review. The school board must be given a summary of the notice,
22including the reason for the suspension and the suspension
23length. Upon request of the parents or guardian, the school
24board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall review such
25action of the superintendent or principal, assistant
26principal, or dean of students. At such review, the parents or

SB2535- 21 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the suspension
2with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing officer is
3appointed by the board, he shall report to the board a written
4summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After its hearing
5or upon receipt of the written report of its hearing officer,
6the board may take such action as it finds appropriate. If a
7student is suspended pursuant to this subsection (b), the board
8shall, in the written suspension decision, detail the specific
9act of gross disobedience or misconduct resulting in the
10decision to suspend. The suspension decision shall also include
11a rationale as to the specific duration of the suspension. A
12pupil who is suspended in excess of 20 school days may be
13immediately transferred to an alternative program in the manner
14provided in Article 13A or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not
15be denied transfer because of the suspension, except in cases
16in which such transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the
17safety of students or staff in the alternative program.
18 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
19and consequences available to school officials, school
20exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
21are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
22and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
23extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
24only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
25students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
26recommended that school officials consider forms of

SB2535- 22 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
2suspensions or expulsions.
3 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
4Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
5by which school administrators are required to suspend or expel
6students for particular behaviors.
7 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be
8used only if the student's continuing presence in school would
9pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other
10students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this
11subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to
12other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
13a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
14School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
15such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the length
16of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
17 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
18out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
19and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
20only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
21disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
22student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a
23threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
24the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
25interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
26this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other

SB2535- 23 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1students, staff, or members of the school community" and
2"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
3operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
4basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
5(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
6available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
7exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
8shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
9address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student
10exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
11suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this Section
12or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) of this
13Section, it shall be documented whether other interventions
14were attempted or whether it was determined that there were no
15other appropriate and available interventions.
16 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
17than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
18support services during the period of their suspension. For
19purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
20support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
21Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
22this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
23to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
24such appropriate and available services.
25 A school district may refer students who are expelled to
26appropriate and available support services.

SB2535- 24 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the
2re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,
3expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
4 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
5suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
6school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
7shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
8academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
9parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil
10suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
11transportation to school.
12 (c) The Department of Human Services shall be invited to
13send a representative to consult with the board at such meeting
14whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be the cause
15for expulsion or suspension.
16 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to
17provide ongoing professional development to teachers,
18administrators, school board members, school resource
19officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school

21management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, the
22appropriate and available supportive services for the
23promotion of student attendance and engagement, and
24developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote
25positive and healthy school climates.
26 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of

SB2535- 25 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
2case-by-case basis. A student who is determined to have brought
3one of the following objects to school, any school-sponsored
4activity or event, or any activity or event that bears a
5reasonable relationship to school shall be expelled for a
6period of not less than one year:
7 (1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section,
8 "firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined
9 by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code,
10 firearm as defined in Section 2-7.5 1.1 of the Firearm
11 Owners Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in

13 period under this subdivision (1) may be modified by the
14 superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may
15 be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
16 (2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon
17 regardless of its composition, a billy club, or any other
18 object if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily

23 may be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
24Expulsion or suspension shall be construed in a manner
25consistent with the federal Individuals with Disabilities
26Education Act. A student who is subject to suspension or

SB2535- 26 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1expulsion as provided in this Section may be eligible for a
2transfer to an alternative school program in accordance with
3Article 13A of the School Code.

5superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
6principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
7student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
8a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
9calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i)
10that student has been determined to have made an explicit
11threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a
12student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet
13website through which the threat was made is a site that was
14accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or
15was available to third parties who worked or studied within the
16school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii) the
17threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to the
18safety and security of the threatened individual because of his
19or her duties or employment status or status as a student
20inside the school.
21 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
22authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as
23lockers, desks, parking lots, and other school property and
24equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as
25personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
26without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a

SB2535- 27 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
2Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
3privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
4left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
5the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
6conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
7lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
8controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
9illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including

13the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
14such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
15disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
16turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.

18expulsion from school and all school activities and a
19prohibition from being present on school grounds.
20 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if

22public or private school in this or any other state, the
23student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
24expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A of
25this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
26under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the

SB2535- 28 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
2or staff in the alternative program.
3 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage students
4to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
5difficulties.

11to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools, special
12charter districts, and school districts organized under
13Article 34 of this Code.

15under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements
16under paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of Section 2-3.71 of this
17Code.
18 (l) Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, an in-school
19suspension program provided by a school district for any
20students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on
21promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive
22interaction with other students and school personnel. A school
23district may employ a school social worker or a licensed mental
24health professional to oversee an in-school suspension program
25in kindergarten through grade 12.

25 the court assesses a lesser fee or no fee as the case may
26 be. The fee shall be collected by the clerk of the circuit

SB2535- 204 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 court, except as provided in an administrative order of the
2 Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit
3 court shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the
4 county treasurer who shall use the monies collected to
5 defray the costs of corrections. The county treasurer shall
6 deposit the fee collected in the county working cash fund
7 under Section 6-27001 or Section 6-29002 of the Counties
8 Code, as the case may be, except as provided in an
9 administrative order of the Chief Judge of the circuit

812-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
9Criminal Code of 2012, involving a victim who is a minor under
1018 years of age living in the same household with the defendant
11at the time of the offense, in granting bail or releasing the
12defendant on his own recognizance, the judge shall impose
13conditions to restrict the defendant's access to the victim
14which may include, but are not limited to conditions that he
15will:

9household members as defined in Article 112A, including
10specific conditions of bond as provided in subsection (d).
11Failure of any law enforcement department to develop or use
12those forms shall in no way limit the applicability and
13enforcement of subsections (d) and (f).
14 (f) If the defendant is admitted to bail after conviction
15the conditions of the bail bond shall be that he will, in
16addition to the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and (b)

8other interested party that shall be enforced while the
9defendant remains in custody.

12 Sec. 112A-11.1. Procedure for determining whether certain
13misdemeanor crimes are crimes of domestic violence for purposes
14of federal law.
15 (a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of
16Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the
17Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State
18may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after arraignment,
19for the purpose of notification to the Department of State
20Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve on the
21defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that
22conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the
23prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the relationship
24between the defendant and the alleged victim and the nature of
25the alleged offense.

SB2535- 209 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person alleged
2to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the nature of
3the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C.
4921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the
5charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of
6physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as
7set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include
8notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the
9allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation
10is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be
11reported to the Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
12Identification Card Office.
13 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection
14(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit,
15orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the
16offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18
17U.S.C. 922(g)(9). In that case, the applicability of 18 U.S.C.
18922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section
19112A-11.2. If the defendant denies the applicability of 18
20U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State,
21or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State
22shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
23the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.
24922(g)(9) apply. The court may consider reliable hearsay
25evidence submitted by either party provided that it is relevant
26to the determination of the allegation. Facts previously proven

SB2535- 210 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1at trial or elicited at the time of entry of a plea of guilty
2shall be deemed established beyond a reasonable doubt and shall
3not be relitigated. At the conclusion of the hearing, or upon a
4stipulation or admission, as applicable, the court shall make a
5specific written determination with respect to the allegation.

SB2535- 211 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;
2remedies.
3 (a) (Blank).
4 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
5subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
6shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
7available to petitioner.
8 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
9 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
10 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
11 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
12 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
13 prohibited.
14 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
15 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
16 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
17 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
18 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
19 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
20 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
21 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
22 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
23 Marriage Act.
24 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
25 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
26 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's

SB2535- 212 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
2 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
3 person or entity other than the opposing party that
4 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
5 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
6 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
7 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
8 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
9 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
10 hardships to respondent and any minor child or
11 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
12 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
13 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
14 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
15 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
16 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
17 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
18 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
19 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
20 the accessibility of the residence or household.
21 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
22 have a right to occupancy.
23 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
24 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
25 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
26 that the hardships to respondent substantially

SB2535- 213 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
2 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
3 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
4 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
5 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
6 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
7 household.
8 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
9 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
10 protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or
11 prohibit respondent from entering or remaining present at
12 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
13 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
14 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
15 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
16 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
17 right to enter the premises.
18 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
19 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
20 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
21 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
22 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
23 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
24 items of clothing and personal adornment used
25 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
26 items as the court directs. The right to access shall

SB2535- 214 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
2 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party
3 or law enforcement officer.
4 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
5 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
6 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
7 domestic violence order of protection and providing
8 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
9 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
10 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
11 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
12 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
13 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
14 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
15 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
16 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
17 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
18 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
19 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
20 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
21 change of placement or change of program, as determined
22 by the school district or private or non-public school,
23 or place restrictions on the respondent's movements
24 within the school attended by the petitioner. The
25 respondent bears the burden of proving by a
26 preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change

SB2535- 215 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
2 not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
3 production with respect to the expense, difficulty,
4 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
5 transfer of the respondent to another school. A
6 transfer, change of placement, or change of program is
7 not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground
8 that the respondent does not agree with the school
9 district's or private or non-public school's transfer,
10 change of placement, or change of program or solely on
11 the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
12 consent or otherwise does not take an action required
13 to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or
14 change of program. When a court orders a respondent to
15 stay away from the public, private, or non-public
16 school attended by the petitioner and the respondent
17 requests a transfer to another attendance center
18 within the respondent's school district or private or
19 non-public school, the school district or private or
20 non-public school shall have sole discretion to
21 determine the attendance center to which the
22 respondent is transferred. If the court order results
23 in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
24 attendance center, a change in the respondent's
25 placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the
26 parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the

SB2535- 216 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 respondent is responsible for transportation and other
2 costs associated with the transfer or change.
3 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
4 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
5 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
6 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
7 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
8 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
9 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
10 transportation and other costs associated with the
11 change of school by the respondent.
12 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
13 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
14 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
15 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
16 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
17 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
18 abusers, or any other guidance service the court deems
19 appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
20 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
21 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
22 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
23 all recommended treatment.
24 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
25 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
26 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the

SB2535- 217 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
2 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
3 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
4 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
5 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
6 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
7 in loco parentis.
8 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
9 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
10 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
11 respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.
12 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
13 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
14 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
15 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
16 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
17 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
18 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
19 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
20 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
21 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
22 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
23 would not be in the child's best interest.
24 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
25 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
26 physical care or temporary significant decision-making

SB2535- 218 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
2 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
3 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
4 is likely to do any of the following:
5 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
6 parenting time;
7 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
8 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
9 household members;
10 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
11 child; or
12 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
13 best interests of the minor child.
14 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
15 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
16 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
17 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
18 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
19 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
20 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
21 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
22 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
23 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
24 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
25 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
26 a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect any

SB2535- 219 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 member of petitioner's family or household from future
2 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
3 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
4 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
5 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
6 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
7 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
8 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
9 acknowledging accountability to the court.
10 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
11 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
12 concealing the child within the State.
13 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
14 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
15 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
16 child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
17 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
18 child or the respondent.
19 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
20 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
21 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
22 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
23 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
24 property; or
25 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
26 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of

SB2535- 220 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
2 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
3 petitioner.
4 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
5 is that it is marital property, the court may award
6 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
7 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
8 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
9 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
10 hereafter amended.
11 No order under this provision shall affect title to
12 property.
13 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
14 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
15 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
16 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
17 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
18 property; or
19 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
20 property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
21 granting this remedy.
22 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
23 is that it is marital property, the court may grant
24 petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
25 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
26 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as

SB2535- 221 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 now or hereafter amended.
2 The court may further prohibit respondent from
3 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
4 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
5 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
6 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
7 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
8 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
9 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
10 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
11 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
12 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
13 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
14 otherwise disposing of the animal.
15 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
16 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
17 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
18 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
19 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
20 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
21 which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
22 support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
23 income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
24 granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
25 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
26 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant

SB2535- 222 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall

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

SB2535- 228 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
2 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
3 requirements for establishing an account or
4 transferring a number, including requiring the
5 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
6 financial information, and customer preferences.
7 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
8 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
9 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
10 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
11 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
12 services to residential customers shall provide to the
13 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
14 agent for service of orders entered under this
15 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
16 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
17 Commission within 30 days of such change.
18 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
19 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
20 each wireless telephone service provider on the

22 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
23 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
24 provided and displayed.
25 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
26 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,

SB2535- 229 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
2 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
3 following:
4 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
5 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
6 petitioner or any family or household member,
7 including the concealment of his or her location in
8 order to evade service of process or notice, and the
9 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
10 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
11 household; and
12 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
13 or neglected or improperly relocated from the
14 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
15 or improperly separated from the child's primary
16 caretaker.
17 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
18 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
19 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
20 limited to, the following:
21 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
22 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
23 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
24 dependent adult in the party's care;
25 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
26 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,

SB2535- 230 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
2 care, to family, school, church, and community.
3 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
4 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
5 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
6 a minimum set forth the following:
7 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
8 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
9 this subsection (c).
10 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
11 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
12 or continued abuse.
13 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
14 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
15 other alleged abused persons.
16 (4) (Blank).
17 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
18 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
19 attach to a putative father until a father and child
20 relationship has been established under the Illinois
21 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
22 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
23 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
24 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, the
25 Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
26 administrative, or other act of another state or territory,

SB2535- 231 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 any other statute of this State, or by any foreign nation
2 establishing the father and child relationship, any other
3 proceeding substantially in conformity with the federal
4 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
5 Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared
6 in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
7 under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
8 father and child relationship. Absent such an
9 adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
10 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
11 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
12 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
13 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
14 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
15the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
16remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
17subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
18balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
19include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
20in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
21hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
22shall be an official record or in writing.
23 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
24based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
25 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
26 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of

SB2535- 232 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
2 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
3 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
4 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
5 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
6 of 2012;
7 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
8 of another;
9 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
10 further abuse by respondent;
11 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or household
12 to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
13 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
14 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
15 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
16 or household members.

21 Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.
22 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
23Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
24addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
25petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or more

SB2535- 233 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1of the 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) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same
23public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
24school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
25providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
26continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the

SB2535- 234 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
2petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
3availability of a transfer of the respondent to another school,
4a change of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
5the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would
6be caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school,
7and any other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
8that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
9non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
10petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
11placement or program, as determined by the school district or
12private or non-public school, or place restrictions on the
13respondent's movements within the school attended by the
14petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of proving by a
15preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change of
16placement, or change of program of the respondent is not
17available. The respondent also bears the burden of production
18with respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
19disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
20to another school. A transfer, change of placement, or change
21of program is not unavailable to the respondent solely on the
22ground that the respondent does not agree with the school
23district's or private or non-public school's transfer, change
24of placement, or change of program or solely on the ground that
25the respondent fails or refuses to consent to or otherwise does
26not take an action required to effectuate a transfer, change of

SB2535- 235 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1placement, or change of program. When a court orders a
2respondent to stay away from the public, private, or non-public
3school attended by the petitioner and the respondent requests a
4transfer to another attendance center within the respondent's
5school district or private or non-public school, the school
6district or private or non-public school shall have sole
7discretion to determine the attendance center to which the
8respondent is transferred. If the court order results in a
9transfer of the minor respondent to another attendance center,
10a change in the respondent's placement, or a change of the
11respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
12custodian of the respondent is responsible for transportation
13and other costs associated with the transfer or change.
14 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
15custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
16refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
17respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
18transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
19guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
20for transportation and other costs associated with the change
21of school by the respondent.
22 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private
23or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
24criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
25non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
26 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal

SB2535- 236 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
2for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
3this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
4of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
5directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
6conduct.
7 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
8 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
9respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification

18 apprehension of another felon or testified truthfully
19 on behalf of another prosecution of a felony; and
20 (H) whether departure is in the interest of the
21 person's rehabilitation, including employment or

9to pay all costs incidental to such mandatory drug or alcohol
10testing, or both, and all costs incidental to such approved
11electronic monitoring in accordance with the defendant's
12ability to pay those costs. The county board with the
13concurrence of the Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which
14the county is located shall establish reasonable fees for the
15cost of maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses related
16to the mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and all
17costs incidental to approved electronic monitoring, involved
18in a successful probation program for the county. The
19concurrence of the Chief Judge shall be in the form of an
20administrative order. The fees shall be collected by the clerk
21of the circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
22order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of the
23circuit court shall pay all moneys collected from these fees to
24the county treasurer who shall use the moneys collected to
25defray the costs of drug testing, alcohol testing, and
26electronic monitoring. The county treasurer shall deposit the

SB2535- 298 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1fees collected in the county working cash fund under Section
26-27001 or Section 6-29002 of the Counties Code, as the case
3may be. The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
4by administrative order establish a program for electronic
5monitoring of offenders, in which a vendor supplies and
6monitors the operation of the electronic monitoring device, and
7collects the fees on behalf of the county. The program shall
8include provisions for indigent offenders and the collection of
9unpaid fees. The program shall not unduly burden the offender
10and shall be subject to review by the Chief Judge.
11 The Chief Judge of the circuit court may suspend any
12additional charges or fees for late payment, interest, or
13damage to any device.
14 (h) Jurisdiction over an offender may be transferred from
15the sentencing court to the court of another circuit with the
16concurrence of both courts. Further transfers or retransfers of
17jurisdiction are also authorized in the same manner. The court
18to which jurisdiction has been transferred shall have the same
19powers as the sentencing court. The probation department within
20the circuit to which jurisdiction has been transferred, or
21which has agreed to provide supervision, may impose probation
22fees upon receiving the transferred offender, as provided in
23subsection (i). For all transfer cases, as defined in Section
249b of the Probation and Probation Officers Act, the probation
25department from the original sentencing court shall retain all
26probation fees collected prior to the transfer. After the

SB2535- 299 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1transfer, all probation fees shall be paid to the probation
2department within the circuit to which jurisdiction has been
3transferred.
4 (i) The court shall impose upon an offender sentenced to
5probation after January 1, 1989 or to conditional discharge
6after January 1, 1992 or to community service under the

8January 1, 2004, as a condition of such probation or
9conditional discharge or supervised community service, a fee of
10$50 for each month of probation or conditional discharge
11supervision or supervised community service ordered by the
12court, unless after determining the inability of the person
13sentenced to probation or conditional discharge or supervised
14community service to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
15fee. The court may not impose the fee on a minor who is placed
16in the guardianship or custody of the Department of Children
17and Family Services under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 while
18the minor is in placement. The fee shall be imposed only upon
19an offender who is actively supervised by the probation and
20court services department. The fee shall be collected by the
21clerk of the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court
22shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
23treasurer for deposit in the probation and court services fund
24under Section 15.1 of the Probation and Probation Officers Act.
25 A circuit court may not impose a probation fee under this
26subsection (i) in excess of $25 per month unless the circuit

SB2535- 300 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1court has adopted, by administrative order issued by the chief
2judge, a standard probation fee guide determining an offender's
3ability to pay. Of the amount collected as a probation fee, up
4to $5 of that fee collected per month may be used to provide
5services to crime victims and their families.
6 The Court may only waive probation fees based on an
7offender's ability to pay. The probation department may
8re-evaluate an offender's ability to pay every 6 months, and,
9with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
10Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
11offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any
12offender that has been assigned to the supervision of a
13probation department, or has been transferred either under
14subsection (h) of this Section or under any interstate compact,
15shall be required to pay probation fees to the department
16supervising the offender, based on the offender's ability to
17pay.
18 Public Act 93-970 deletes the $10 increase in the fee under
19this subsection that was imposed by Public Act 93-616. This
20deletion is intended to control over any other Act of the 93rd
21General Assembly that retains or incorporates that fee
22increase.
23 (i-5) In addition to the fees imposed under subsection (i)
24of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
25felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management
26Board Act) or an offense that the court or probation department

SB2535- 301 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1has determined to be sexually motivated (as defined in the Sex
2Offender Management Board Act), the court or the probation
3department shall assess additional fees to pay for all costs of
4treatment, assessment, evaluation for risk and treatment, and
5monitoring the offender, based on that offender's ability to
6pay those costs either as they occur or under a payment plan.
7 (j) All fines and costs imposed under this Section for any
8violation of Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 11 of the Illinois Vehicle
9Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, and any
10violation of the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a similar
11provision of a local ordinance, shall be collected and
12disbursed by the circuit clerk as provided under the Criminal
13and Traffic Assessment Act.
14 (k) Any offender who is sentenced to probation or
15conditional discharge for a felony sex offense as defined in
16the Sex Offender Management Board Act or any offense that the
17court or probation department has determined to be sexually
18motivated as defined in the Sex Offender Management Board Act
19shall be required to refrain from any contact, directly or
20indirectly, with any persons specified by the court and shall
21be available for all evaluations and treatment programs
22required by the court or the probation department.
23 (l) The court may order an offender who is sentenced to
24probation or conditional discharge for a violation of an order
25of protection be placed under electronic surveillance as
26provided in Section 5-8A-7 of this Code.

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

SB2535- 303 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 court;
2 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
3 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
4 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
5 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
6 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
7 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
8 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
9 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
10 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
11 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
12 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
13 firearms; and
14 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines
15 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
16 specifically named by the court.
17 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
18same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
19school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
20providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
21continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
22petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
23petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
24availability of a transfer of the respondent to another school,
25a change of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
26the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that would

SB2535- 304 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1be caused by a transfer of the respondent to another school,
2and any other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
3that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
4non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended by the
5petitioner, order that the respondent accept a change of
6placement or program, as determined by the school district or
7private or non-public school, or place restrictions on the
8respondent's movements within the school attended by the
9petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of proving by a
10preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change of
11placement, or change of program of the respondent is not
12available. The respondent also bears the burden of production
13with respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
14disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent
15to another school. A transfer, change of placement, or change
16of program is not unavailable to the respondent solely on the
17ground that the respondent does not agree with the school
18district's or private or non-public school's transfer, change
19of placement, or change of program or solely on the ground that
20the respondent fails or refuses to consent to or otherwise does
21not take an action required to effectuate a transfer, change of
22placement, or change of program. When a court orders a
23respondent to stay away from the public, private, or non-public
24school attended by the petitioner and the respondent requests a
25transfer to another attendance center within the respondent's
26school district or private or non-public school, the school

SB2535- 305 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1district or private or non-public school shall have sole
2discretion to determine the attendance center to which the
3respondent is transferred. In the event the court order results
4in a transfer of the minor respondent to another attendance
5center, a change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
6the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
7custodian of the respondent is responsible for transportation
8and other costs associated with the transfer or change.
9 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
10custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
11refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
12respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
13orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
14parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
15responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
16the change of school by the respondent.
17 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or private
18or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
19criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
20non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
21 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
22custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
23for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
24this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
25this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian directed,
26encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.

SB2535- 306 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
2fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.
3 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
4 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
5respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
6Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
7confiscate the respondent's firearms Firearm Owner's
8Identification Card and immediately return the card to the
9Department of State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card
10Office.

21 (750 ILCS 60/210) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-10)
22 Sec. 210. Process.
23 (a) Summons. Any action for an order of protection, whether
24commenced alone or in conjunction with another proceeding, is a

SB2535- 314 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1distinct cause of action and requires that a separate summons

12notice shall include the petition for order of protection and
13supporting affidavits, if any, and any emergency order of

12 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
13 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
14 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
15has been abused by a family or household member or that
16petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
17or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
18prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
19provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
20one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on
21emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
22on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
23protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
24court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
25protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse

SB2535- 317 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
2prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
3Act.
4 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
5an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
6this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
7Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
8and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
9subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
10remedies available to petitioner.
11 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
12 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
13 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
14 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
15 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
16 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
17 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
18 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
19 prohibited.
20 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
21 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
22 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
23 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
24 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
25 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
26 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be

SB2535- 318 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
2 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
3 Marriage Act.
4 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
5 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
6 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
7 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
8 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
9 person or entity other than the opposing party that
10 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
11 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
12 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
13 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
14 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
15 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
16 hardships to respondent and any minor child or
17 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
18 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
19 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
20 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
21 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
22 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
23 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
24 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
25 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
26 the accessibility of the residence or household.

SB2535- 319 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
2 have a right to occupancy.
3 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
4 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
5 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
6 that the hardships to respondent substantially
7 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
8 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
9 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
10 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
11 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
12 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
13 household.
14 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
15 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
16 protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
17 respondent from entering or remaining present at
18 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
19 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
20 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
21 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
22 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
23 right to enter the premises.
24 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
25 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
26 respondent from entering the residence, or orders

SB2535- 320 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
2 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
3 access to the residence to remove items of clothing and
4 personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
5 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
6 right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion
7 as the court directs and in the presence of an
8 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
9 officer.
10 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
11 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
12 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order
13 of protection and providing relief shall consider the
14 severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
15 emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational
16 rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
17 under federal and State law, the availability of a
18 transfer of the respondent to another school, a change
19 of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
20 the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption
21 that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
22 another school, and any other relevant facts of the
23 case. The court may order that the respondent not
24 attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,
25 middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
26 order that the respondent accept a change of placement

SB2535- 321 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 or change of program, as determined by the school
2 district or private or non-public school, or place
3 restrictions on the respondent's movements within the
4 school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
5 bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
6 evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or
7 change of program of the respondent is not available.
8 The respondent also bears the burden of production with
9 respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
10 disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
11 respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
12 placement, or change of program is not unavailable to
13 the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent
14 does not agree with the school district's or private or
15 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
16 change of program or solely on the ground that the
17 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
18 does not take an action required to effectuate a
19 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
20 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
21 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
22 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
23 another attendance center within the respondent's
24 school district or private or non-public school, the
25 school district or private or non-public school shall
26 have sole discretion to determine the attendance

SB2535- 322 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
2 event the court order results in a transfer of the
3 minor respondent to another attendance center, a
4 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
5 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
6 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
7 transportation and other costs associated with the
8 transfer or change.
9 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
10 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
11 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
12 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
13 the event the court orders a transfer of the respondent
14 to another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
15 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16 transportation and other costs associated with the
17 change of school by the respondent.
18 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
19 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
20 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
21 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
22 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
23 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
24 abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
25 appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any
26 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

SB2535- 323 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3 all recommended treatment.
4 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13 in loco parentis.
14 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
15 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
16 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
17 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
18 minor child's best interest.
19 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
20 significant decision-making. Award temporary
21 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
22 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
23 Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and this
24 State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement
25 Act.
26 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has

SB2535- 324 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
2 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
3 awarding temporary significant decision-making
4 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
5 best interest.
6 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
7 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
8 physical care or allocates temporary significant
9 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
10 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
11 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
12 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
13 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
14 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
15 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
16 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
17 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
18 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
19 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
20 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
21 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the order
22 shall specify dates and times for the parenting time to
23 take place or other specific parameters or conditions that
24 are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall refer
25 merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
26 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor

SB2535- 325 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
2 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
3 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
4 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
5 a violent or abusive manner.
6 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
7 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
8 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
9 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
10 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
11 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
12 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
13 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
14 acknowledging accountability to the court.
15 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
16 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
17 concealing the child within the State.
18 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
19 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
20 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
21 child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
22 any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or
23 the respondent.
24 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
25 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
26 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to

SB2535- 326 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
2 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
3 property; or
4 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
5 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
6 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
7 temporary possession by petitioner.
8 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
9 is that it is marital property, the court may award
10 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
11 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
12 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
13 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
14 hereafter amended.
15 No order under this provision shall affect title to
16 property.
17 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
18 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
19 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
20 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
21 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
22 property; or
23 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
24 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
25 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
26 is that it is marital property, the court may grant

SB2535- 327 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
2 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
3 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
4 now or hereafter amended.
5 The court may further prohibit respondent from
6 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
7 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
8 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
9 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
10 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
11 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
12 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
13 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
14 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
15 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
16 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
17 otherwise disposing of the animal.
18 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
19 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
20 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
21 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
22 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
23 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
24 which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
25 support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
26 income to secure payment. An order for child support may be

SB2535- 328 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
2 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
3 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
4 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
5 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
6 responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
7 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
8 provided in the order.
9 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
10 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
11 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
12 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
13 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
14 property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
15 court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
16 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
17 restaurant meals.
18 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
19 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
20 property distribution from the other party under the
21 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
22 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
23 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
24 the extent that such reimbursement would be
25 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
26 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.

SB2535- 329 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
2 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
3 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
4 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
5 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
6 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
7 investigator fees, and travel costs.
8 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
9 from entering or remaining in the residence or household
10 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
11 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
12 of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
13 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
14 (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
15 protection was issued from possessing any firearms
16 during the duration of the order if the order:
17 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
18 person received actual notice, and at which such
19 person had an opportunity to participate;
20 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
21 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
22 such person or child of such intimate partner or
23 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
24 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
25 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
26 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person

SB2535- 330 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 represents a credible threat to the physical
2 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
3 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
4 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
5 against such intimate partner or child that would
6 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
7 Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
8 possession of the respondent, except as provided in

15 firearm in the possession of the respondent, to be kept
16 by the local law enforcement agency for safekeeping,

19 protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm
20 Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at
21 the respondent's request, be returned to the
22 respondent at the end of the order of protection. It is
23 the respondent's responsibility to notify the
24 Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
25 Identification Card Office.
26 (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined

SB2535- 331 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
2 shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
3 the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
4 be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
5 of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
6 shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
7 duration of the order of protection.
8 (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
9 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
10 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
11 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
12 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
13 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
14 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
15 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
16 firearms for training purposes, or for any other
17 application as deemed appropriate by the local law
18 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
19 to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
20 firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
21 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of

11 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
12 a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
13 exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to
14 effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
15 balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
16 injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
17 remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
18 subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
19 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
20 (18) Telephone services.
21 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
22 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
23 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
24 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
25 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
26 indicated by the petitioner and the financial

SB2535- 333 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b

5 commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332.
6 The petitioner may request the transfer of each

9 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service
10 provider's agent for service of process provided to the
11 Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain

13 (i) The name and billing telephone number of
14 the account holder including the name of the
15 wireless telephone service provider that serves
16 the account.
17 (ii) Each telephone number that will be
18 transferred.
19 (iii) A statement that the provider transfers

23 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
24 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
25 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
26 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this

SB2535- 334 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
2 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
3 following applies:
4 (i) The account holder named in the order has
5 terminated the account.
6 (ii) A difference in network technology would
7 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
8 a network if the transfer occurs.
9 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
10 other limitation on network or service provision
11 to the petitioner.
12 (iv) Another technological or operational
13 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
14 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
15 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
16 responsibility for and right to the use of any
17 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
18 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
19 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
20 mobile device associated with the number.
21 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
22 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
23 requirements for establishing an account or
24 transferring a number, including requiring the
25 petitioner to provide proof of identification,
26 financial information, and customer preferences.

SB2535- 335 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
2 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
3 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance

5 (F) All wireless service providers that provide
6 services to residential customers shall provide to the
7 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
8 agent for service of orders entered under this

11 Commission within 30 days of such change.
12 (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
13 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
14 each wireless telephone service provider on the
15 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
16 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
17 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
18 provided and displayed.
19 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
20 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
21 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
22 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
23 following:
24 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
25 consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
26 or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or

SB2535- 336 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 household member, including the concealment of his or
2 her location in order to evade service of process or
3 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
4 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
5 petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
6 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
7 or neglected or improperly relocated from the
8 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
9 improperly separated from the child's primary
10 caretaker.
11 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
12 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
13 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
14 limited to the following:
15 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
16 adequacy, location and other characteristics of
17 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
18 dependent adult in the party's care;
19 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
20 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
21 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
22 care, to family, school, church and community.
23 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
24 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
25 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
26 set forth the following:

SB2535- 337 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
2 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
3 this subsection.
4 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
5 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
6 or continued abuse.
7 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
8 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
9 other alleged abused persons.
10 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
11 of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
12 supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
13 (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
14 the following procedure:
15 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
16 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
17 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
18 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
19 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
20 appears from the contents of the petition and the
21 examination of petitioner that the averments are
22 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
23 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
24 order of protection.
25 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
26 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage

SB2535- 338 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 attach to a putative father until a father and child
2 relationship has been established under the Illinois
3 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
4 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
5 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
6 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
7 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, the
8 Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
9 administrative, or other act of another state or territory,
10 any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign nation
11 establishing the father and child relationship, any other
12 proceeding substantially in conformity with the Personal
13 Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of
14 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where both parties appeared in
15 open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
16 under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
17 father and child relationship. Absent such an
18 adjudication, finding, or acknowledgment, no putative
19 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
20 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
21 child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
22 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
23 child be entered.
24 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
25the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
26remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of

SB2535- 339 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
2balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
3include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
4in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
5hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
6shall be an official record or in writing.
7 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
8based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
9 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
10 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
11 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
12 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
13 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
14 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
15 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
16 of 2012;
17 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
18 of another;
19 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
20 further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
21 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
22 to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
23 respondent;
24 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
25 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
26 that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,

SB2535- 340 -LRB101 16577 RLC 65961 b
1 or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
2 household members.
