| 1 |  AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 |  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 |  Section 5. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by changing  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | Section 24-6 as follows:
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 |  (720 ILCS 5/24-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 24-6)
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 |  Sec. 24-6. Confiscation and disposition of weapons. 
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8 |  (a) Upon conviction of an offense in which a weapon was  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | used or
possessed by the offender, any weapon seized shall be  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | confiscated by the
trial court.
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 |  (b) Any stolen weapon so confiscated, when no longer
needed  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | for evidentiary purposes, shall be returned to the person  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | entitled to
possession, if known. After the
disposition of a  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | criminal case or in any criminal case where a final judgment
in  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | the case was not entered due to the death of the defendant, and  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | when a
confiscated weapon is no longer needed for evidentiary  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | purposes, and when in
due course no legitimate claim has been  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | made for the weapon, the court may
transfer the weapon to the  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | sheriff of the county who may proceed to
destroy it, or may in  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | its discretion order the weapon preserved as
property of the  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | governmental body whose police agency seized the weapon, or
may  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | in its discretion order the weapon to be transferred to the  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | Department
of State Police for use by the crime laboratory  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | system, for training
purposes, or for any other application as  | ||||||
| 2 | deemed appropriate by the
Department. A weapon transferred to a  | ||||||
| 3 | law enforcement agency under this Section may be sold by the  | ||||||
| 4 | law enforcement agency at public auction under Section 3 of the  | ||||||
| 5 | Law Enforcement Disposition of Property Act. If, after the  | ||||||
| 6 | disposition of a criminal case, a need still
exists for the use  | ||||||
| 7 | of the confiscated weapon for evidentiary purposes, the
court  | ||||||
| 8 | may transfer the weapon to the custody of the State Department  | ||||||
| 9 | of
Corrections for preservation. The court may not order the  | ||||||
| 10 | transfer of the
weapon to any private individual or private  | ||||||
| 11 | organization other than to return
a stolen weapon to its  | ||||||
| 12 | rightful owner.
 | ||||||
| 13 |  The provisions of this Section shall not apply to  | ||||||
| 14 | violations of the Fish
and Aquatic Life Code or the Wildlife  | ||||||
| 15 | Code. Confiscation
of weapons for Fish and Aquatic Life Code  | ||||||
| 16 | and Wildlife Code
violations shall be only as provided in those  | ||||||
| 17 | Codes.
 | ||||||
| 18 |  (c) Any mental hospital that admits a person as an  | ||||||
| 19 | inpatient pursuant
to any of the provisions of the Mental  | ||||||
| 20 | Health and Developmental
Disabilities Code shall confiscate  | ||||||
| 21 | any firearms in the possession of that
person at the time of  | ||||||
| 22 | admission, or at any time the firearms are
discovered in the  | ||||||
| 23 | person's possession during the course of hospitalization.
The  | ||||||
| 24 | hospital shall, as soon as possible following confiscation,  | ||||||
| 25 | transfer
custody of the firearms to the appropriate law  | ||||||
| 26 | enforcement agency. The
hospital shall give written notice to  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | the person from whom the firearm was
confiscated of the  | ||||||
| 2 | identity and address of the law enforcement agency to
which it  | ||||||
| 3 | has given the firearm.
 | ||||||
| 4 |  The law enforcement agency shall maintain possession of any  | ||||||
| 5 | firearm it
obtains pursuant to this subsection for a minimum of  | ||||||
| 6 | 90 days. Thereafter,
the firearm may be disposed of pursuant to  | ||||||
| 7 | the provisions of subsection (b)
of this Section.
 | ||||||
| 8 | (Source: P.A. 91-696, eff. 4-13-00.)
 | ||||||
| 9 |  Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is  | ||||||
| 10 | amended by changing Section 112A-14 as follows:
 | ||||||
| 11 |  (725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
 | ||||||
| 12 |  Sec. 112A-14. Domestic violence order of protection;  | ||||||
| 13 | remedies. 
 | ||||||
| 14 |  (a) (Blank).
 | ||||||
| 15 |  (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this  | ||||||
| 16 | subsection (b).
The remedies listed in this subsection (b)  | ||||||
| 17 | shall be in addition to other civil
or criminal remedies  | ||||||
| 18 | available to petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 19 |   (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's  | ||||||
| 20 |  harassment,
interference with personal liberty,  | ||||||
| 21 |  intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse, or willful  | ||||||
| 22 |  deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
 | ||||||
| 23 |  occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not  | ||||||
| 24 |  prohibited.
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |   (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.  | ||||||
| 2 |  Prohibit respondent
from entering or remaining in any  | ||||||
| 3 |  residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
 | ||||||
| 4 |  including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner  | ||||||
| 5 |  has a right
to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive  | ||||||
| 6 |  possession of the residence, household, or premises
shall  | ||||||
| 7 |  not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be  | ||||||
| 8 |  limited by
the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of  | ||||||
| 9 |  Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of  | ||||||
| 10 |  Marriage Act.
 | ||||||
| 11 |    (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to  | ||||||
| 12 |  occupancy of a
residence or household if it is
solely  | ||||||
| 13 |  or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's  | ||||||
| 14 |  spouse, a
person with a legal duty to support that  | ||||||
| 15 |  party or a minor child in that
party's care, or by any  | ||||||
| 16 |  person or entity other than the opposing party that
 | ||||||
| 17 |  authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic  | ||||||
| 18 |  violence shelter).
Standards set forth in subparagraph  | ||||||
| 19 |  (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
 | ||||||
| 20 |    (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and  | ||||||
| 21 |  respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a  | ||||||
| 22 |  residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the  | ||||||
| 23 |  hardships to respondent and any minor child or
 | ||||||
| 24 |  dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from  | ||||||
| 25 |  entry of this remedy with (ii)
the hardships to  | ||||||
| 26 |  petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to  | ||||||
| 2 |  the risk of abuse (should
petitioner remain at the  | ||||||
| 3 |  residence or household) or from loss of possession
of  | ||||||
| 4 |  the residence or household (should petitioner leave to  | ||||||
| 5 |  avoid the risk
of abuse). When determining the balance  | ||||||
| 6 |  of hardships, the court shall also
take into account  | ||||||
| 7 |  the accessibility of the residence or household.
 | ||||||
| 8 |  Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not  | ||||||
| 9 |  have a right to occupancy.
 | ||||||
| 10 |    The balance of hardships is presumed to favor  | ||||||
| 11 |  possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is  | ||||||
| 12 |  rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing  | ||||||
| 13 |  that the hardships to respondent substantially  | ||||||
| 14 |  outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor  | ||||||
| 15 |  child or dependent adult in petitioner's
care. The  | ||||||
| 16 |  court, on the request of petitioner or on its own  | ||||||
| 17 |  motion,
may order respondent to provide suitable,  | ||||||
| 18 |  accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead  | ||||||
| 19 |  of
excluding respondent from a mutual residence or  | ||||||
| 20 |  household.
 | ||||||
| 21 |   (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order  | ||||||
| 22 |  respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
 | ||||||
| 23 |  protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or  | ||||||
| 24 |  prohibit respondent from entering
or remaining present at  | ||||||
| 25 |  petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
 | ||||||
| 26 |  specified places at times when petitioner is present, or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  both, if
reasonable, given
the balance of hardships.  | ||||||
| 2 |  Hardships need not be balanced for the court
to enter a  | ||||||
| 3 |  stay away order or prohibit entry
if respondent has no  | ||||||
| 4 |  right to enter the premises.
 | ||||||
| 5 |    (A) If a domestic violence order of protection  | ||||||
| 6 |  grants petitioner exclusive possession
of the  | ||||||
| 7 |  residence, prohibits respondent from entering the  | ||||||
| 8 |  residence,
or orders respondent to stay away from  | ||||||
| 9 |  petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court  | ||||||
| 10 |  may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove  | ||||||
| 11 |  items of clothing and personal adornment
used  | ||||||
| 12 |  exclusively by respondent, medications, and other  | ||||||
| 13 |  items as the court directs.
The right to access shall  | ||||||
| 14 |  be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
 | ||||||
| 15 |  and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party  | ||||||
| 16 |  or law enforcement officer.
 | ||||||
| 17 |    (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend  | ||||||
| 18 |  the same public, private, or non-public elementary,  | ||||||
| 19 |  middle, or high school, the court when issuing a  | ||||||
| 20 |  domestic violence order of protection and providing  | ||||||
| 21 |  relief shall consider the severity of the act, any  | ||||||
| 22 |  continuing physical danger or emotional distress to  | ||||||
| 23 |  the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to  | ||||||
| 24 |  the petitioner and respondent under federal and State  | ||||||
| 25 |  law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent  | ||||||
| 26 |  to another school, a change of placement or a change of  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,  | ||||||
| 2 |  and educational disruption that would be caused by a  | ||||||
| 3 |  transfer of the respondent to another school, and any  | ||||||
| 4 |  other relevant facts of the case. The court may order  | ||||||
| 5 |  that the respondent not attend the public, private, or  | ||||||
| 6 |  non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended  | ||||||
| 7 |  by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a  | ||||||
| 8 |  change of placement or change of program, as determined  | ||||||
| 9 |  by the school district or private or non-public school,  | ||||||
| 10 |  or place restrictions on the respondent's movements  | ||||||
| 11 |  within the school attended by the petitioner. The  | ||||||
| 12 |  respondent bears the burden of proving by a  | ||||||
| 13 |  preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change  | ||||||
| 14 |  of placement, or change of program of the respondent is  | ||||||
| 15 |  not available. The respondent also bears the burden of  | ||||||
| 16 |  production with respect to the expense, difficulty,  | ||||||
| 17 |  and educational disruption that would be caused by a  | ||||||
| 18 |  transfer of the respondent to another school. A  | ||||||
| 19 |  transfer, change of placement, or change of program is  | ||||||
| 20 |  not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground  | ||||||
| 21 |  that the respondent does not agree with the school  | ||||||
| 22 |  district's or private or non-public school's transfer,  | ||||||
| 23 |  change of placement, or change of program or solely on  | ||||||
| 24 |  the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to  | ||||||
| 25 |  consent or otherwise does not take an action required  | ||||||
| 26 |  to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  change of program. When a court orders a respondent to  | ||||||
| 2 |  stay away from the public, private, or non-public  | ||||||
| 3 |  school attended by the petitioner and the respondent  | ||||||
| 4 |  requests a transfer to another attendance center  | ||||||
| 5 |  within the respondent's school district or private or  | ||||||
| 6 |  non-public school, the school district or private or  | ||||||
| 7 |  non-public school shall have sole discretion to  | ||||||
| 8 |  determine the attendance center to which the  | ||||||
| 9 |  respondent is transferred. If the court order results  | ||||||
| 10 |  in a transfer of the minor respondent to another  | ||||||
| 11 |  attendance center, a change in the respondent's  | ||||||
| 12 |  placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the  | ||||||
| 13 |  parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the  | ||||||
| 14 |  respondent is responsible for transportation and other  | ||||||
| 15 |  costs associated with the transfer or change. | ||||||
| 16 |    (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or  | ||||||
| 17 |  legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain  | ||||||
| 18 |  actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to  | ||||||
| 19 |  ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If  | ||||||
| 20 |  the court orders a transfer of the respondent to  | ||||||
| 21 |  another school, the parents, guardian, or legal  | ||||||
| 22 |  custodian of the respondent is responsible for  | ||||||
| 23 |  transportation and other costs associated with the  | ||||||
| 24 |  change of school by the respondent.  | ||||||
| 25 |   (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to  | ||||||
| 26 |  undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,  | ||||||
| 2 |  family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program,  | ||||||
| 3 |  mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing  | ||||||
| 4 |  services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
 | ||||||
| 5 |  abusers, or any other guidance service the court deems  | ||||||
| 6 |  appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any  | ||||||
| 7 |  intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois  | ||||||
| 8 |  Department of Human Services protocol approved partner  | ||||||
| 9 |  abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow  | ||||||
| 10 |  all recommended treatment. 
 | ||||||
| 11 |   (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In  | ||||||
| 12 |  order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or  | ||||||
| 13 |  unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the  | ||||||
| 14 |  minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect  | ||||||
| 15 |  the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either  | ||||||
| 16 |  or both of the following:
(i) grant petitioner physical  | ||||||
| 17 |  care or possession of the minor child, or both, or
(ii)  | ||||||
| 18 |  order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove  | ||||||
| 19 |  a minor child
from, the physical care of a parent or person  | ||||||
| 20 |  in loco parentis.
 | ||||||
| 21 |   If the respondent is charged with abuse
(as defined in  | ||||||
| 22 |  Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall  | ||||||
| 23 |  be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent would not
be in the minor child's best interest.
 | ||||||
| 25 |   (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities  | ||||||
| 26 |  and significant decision-making responsibilities.
Award  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  temporary significant decision-making responsibility to  | ||||||
| 2 |  petitioner in accordance with this Section,
the Illinois  | ||||||
| 3 |  Marriage
and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois  | ||||||
| 4 |  Parentage Act of 2015,
and this State's Uniform  | ||||||
| 5 |  Child-Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. 
 | ||||||
| 6 |   If the respondent
is charged with abuse (as defined in  | ||||||
| 7 |  Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a
minor child, there shall  | ||||||
| 8 |  be a rebuttable presumption that awarding
temporary  | ||||||
| 9 |  significant decision-making responsibility to respondent  | ||||||
| 10 |  would not be in the
child's best interest.
 | ||||||
| 11 |   (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if  | ||||||
| 12 |  any, of respondent in any case in which the court
awards  | ||||||
| 13 |  physical care or temporary significant decision-making  | ||||||
| 14 |  responsibility of a minor child to
petitioner. The court  | ||||||
| 15 |  shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with
a  | ||||||
| 16 |  minor child if
the court finds that respondent has done or  | ||||||
| 17 |  is likely to do any of the
following: | ||||||
| 18 |    (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during  | ||||||
| 19 |  parenting time; | ||||||
| 20 |    (ii) use the parenting time
as an opportunity to  | ||||||
| 21 |  abuse or harass petitioner or
petitioner's family or  | ||||||
| 22 |  household members; | ||||||
| 23 |    (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the minor  | ||||||
| 24 |  child; or | ||||||
| 25 |    (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in
the  | ||||||
| 26 |  best interests of the minor child.  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |   The court shall not be limited by the
standards set  | ||||||
| 2 |  forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
 | ||||||
| 3 |  Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting  | ||||||
| 4 |  time, the order
shall specify dates and times for the  | ||||||
| 5 |  parenting time to take place or other
specific parameters  | ||||||
| 6 |  or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting  | ||||||
| 7 |  time
shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting  | ||||||
| 8 |  time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor  | ||||||
| 9 |  child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time,  | ||||||
| 10 |  respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and  | ||||||
| 11 |  constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
 | ||||||
| 12 |  petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in  | ||||||
| 13 |  a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect any  | ||||||
| 14 |  member of petitioner's family or
household from future  | ||||||
| 15 |  abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
 | ||||||
| 16 |  petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for  | ||||||
| 17 |  parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent
shall  | ||||||
| 18 |  submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
 | ||||||
| 19 |  alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may  | ||||||
| 20 |  be approved to
supervise parenting time only after filing  | ||||||
| 21 |  an affidavit accepting
that responsibility and  | ||||||
| 22 |  acknowledging accountability to the court.
 | ||||||
| 23 |   (8) Removal or concealment of minor child.
Prohibit  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or  | ||||||
| 25 |  concealing the child within the
State.
 | ||||||
| 26 |   (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to
appear in  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,  | ||||||
| 2 |  neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the  | ||||||
| 3 |  child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or
to  | ||||||
| 4 |  permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the  | ||||||
| 5 |  child or the
respondent.
 | ||||||
| 6 |   (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner  | ||||||
| 7 |  exclusive
possession of personal property and, if  | ||||||
| 8 |  respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to  | ||||||
| 9 |  promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
 | ||||||
| 10 |    (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the  | ||||||
| 11 |  property; or
 | ||||||
| 12 |    (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the  | ||||||
| 13 |  property jointly; sharing it would risk
abuse of  | ||||||
| 14 |  petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the  | ||||||
| 15 |  balance of
hardships favors temporary possession by  | ||||||
| 16 |  petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 17 |   If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property  | ||||||
| 18 |  is that it is
marital property, the court may award  | ||||||
| 19 |  petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the  | ||||||
| 20 |  standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a  | ||||||
| 21 |  proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois  | ||||||
| 22 |  Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or  | ||||||
| 23 |  hereafter amended.
 | ||||||
| 24 |   No order under this provision shall affect title to  | ||||||
| 25 |  property.
 | ||||||
| 26 |   (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing,  | ||||||
| 2 |  damaging, or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal  | ||||||
| 3 |  property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
 | ||||||
| 4 |    (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the  | ||||||
| 5 |  property; or
 | ||||||
| 6 |    (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the  | ||||||
| 7 |  property jointly,
and the balance of hardships favors  | ||||||
| 8 |  granting this remedy.
 | ||||||
| 9 |   If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property  | ||||||
| 10 |  is that it is
marital property, the court may grant  | ||||||
| 11 |  petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this  | ||||||
| 12 |  paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under  | ||||||
| 13 |  the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as  | ||||||
| 14 |  now or hereafter amended.
 | ||||||
| 15 |   The court may further prohibit respondent from  | ||||||
| 16 |  improperly using the
financial or other resources of an  | ||||||
| 17 |  aged member of the family or household
for the profit or  | ||||||
| 18 |  advantage of respondent or of any other person.
 | ||||||
| 19 |   (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the  | ||||||
| 20 |  exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,  | ||||||
| 21 |  possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner  | ||||||
| 22 |  or the respondent or a minor child residing in the  | ||||||
| 23 |  residence or household of either the petitioner or the  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the  | ||||||
| 25 |  animal and forbid the respondent from taking,  | ||||||
| 26 |  transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  otherwise disposing of the animal.
 | ||||||
| 2 |   (12) Order for payment of support. Order
respondent to  | ||||||
| 3 |  pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in  | ||||||
| 4 |  the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been  | ||||||
| 5 |  allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has  | ||||||
| 6 |  a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance  | ||||||
| 7 |  with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act,  | ||||||
| 8 |  which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
 | ||||||
| 9 |  support, payment through the clerk and withholding of  | ||||||
| 10 |  income to secure
payment. An order for child support may be  | ||||||
| 11 |  granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care of a  | ||||||
| 12 |  child, or an order or agreement for
physical care of a  | ||||||
| 13 |  child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant  | ||||||
| 14 |  decision-making responsibility.
Such a support order shall  | ||||||
| 15 |  expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental  | ||||||
| 16 |  responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's  | ||||||
| 17 |  significant decision-making responsibility unless  | ||||||
| 18 |  otherwise provided in the order.
 | ||||||
| 19 |   (13) Order for payment of losses. Order
respondent to  | ||||||
| 20 |  pay petitioner
for losses suffered as a direct result of  | ||||||
| 21 |  the abuse. Such losses shall
include, but not be limited  | ||||||
| 22 |  to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other
support,  | ||||||
| 23 |  repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,  | ||||||
| 24 |  reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or  | ||||||
| 25 |  other travel expenses, including
additional reasonable  | ||||||
| 26 |  expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |    (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is  | ||||||
| 2 |  entitled to seek
maintenance, child support, or  | ||||||
| 3 |  property distribution from the other party
under the  | ||||||
| 4 |  Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as  | ||||||
| 5 |  now or
hereafter amended, the court may order  | ||||||
| 6 |  respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to  | ||||||
| 7 |  the extent that such reimbursement would be  | ||||||
| 8 |  "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by  | ||||||
| 9 |  subsection (a)(3) of
Section 501 of that Act.
 | ||||||
| 10 |    (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an  | ||||||
| 11 |  improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the  | ||||||
| 12 |  court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
 | ||||||
| 13 |  expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for  | ||||||
| 14 |  and recovery of the
minor child, including, but not  | ||||||
| 15 |  limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
 | ||||||
| 16 |  investigator fees, and travel costs.
 | ||||||
| 17 |   (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent  | ||||||
| 18 |  from entering or
remaining in the residence or household  | ||||||
| 19 |  while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or  | ||||||
| 20 |  drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being  | ||||||
| 21 |  of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
 | ||||||
| 22 |   (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.  | ||||||
| 23 |    (A) A person who is subject to an existing domestic  | ||||||
| 24 |  violence order of protection issued under this Code may  | ||||||
| 25 |  not lawfully possess weapons under Section 8.2 of the  | ||||||
| 26 |  Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |    (B) Any firearms in the
possession of the  | ||||||
| 2 |  respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of  | ||||||
| 3 |  this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court to  | ||||||
| 4 |  be turned
over to a person with a valid Firearm Owner's  | ||||||
| 5 |  Identification Card for safekeeping. The court shall  | ||||||
| 6 |  issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's  | ||||||
| 7 |  Identification Card be turned over to the local law  | ||||||
| 8 |  enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately  | ||||||
| 9 |  mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm  | ||||||
| 10 |  Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
 | ||||||
| 11 |  The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of  | ||||||
| 12 |  the domestic violence order of protection. The firearm  | ||||||
| 13 |  or firearms and Firearm Owner's Identification Card,  | ||||||
| 14 |  if unexpired, shall at the respondent's request be  | ||||||
| 15 |  returned to the respondent at expiration of the  | ||||||
| 16 |  domestic violence order of protection.
 | ||||||
| 17 |    (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined  | ||||||
| 18 |  in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, the court  | ||||||
| 19 |  shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in  | ||||||
| 20 |  the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer  | ||||||
| 21 |  be surrendered to
the chief law enforcement executive  | ||||||
| 22 |  of the agency in which the respondent is
employed, who  | ||||||
| 23 |  shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the  | ||||||
| 24 |  duration of the domestic violence order of protection.
 | ||||||
| 25 |    (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,  | ||||||
| 26 |  if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  cannot be returned to respondent because respondent  | ||||||
| 2 |  cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to  | ||||||
| 3 |  retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to  | ||||||
| 4 |  possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law  | ||||||
| 5 |  enforcement agency, the court may order the local law  | ||||||
| 6 |  enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the  | ||||||
| 7 |  firearms for training purposes, or for any other  | ||||||
| 8 |  application as deemed appropriate by the local law  | ||||||
| 9 |  enforcement agency, including a sale at public auction  | ||||||
| 10 |  under the provisions of the Law Enforcement  | ||||||
| 11 |  Disposition of Property Act; or that the firearms be  | ||||||
| 12 |  turned over to a third party who is lawfully eligible  | ||||||
| 13 |  to possess firearms, and who does not reside with  | ||||||
| 14 |  respondent.  | ||||||
| 15 |   (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic  | ||||||
| 16 |  violence order of protection
prohibits respondent from  | ||||||
| 17 |  having contact with the minor child,
or if petitioner's  | ||||||
| 18 |  address is omitted under subsection (b) of
Section 112A-5  | ||||||
| 19 |  of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful  | ||||||
| 20 |  removal or
concealment of a minor child, the order shall  | ||||||
| 21 |  deny respondent access to, and
prohibit respondent from  | ||||||
| 22 |  inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to
inspect or obtain,  | ||||||
| 23 |  school or any other records of the minor child
who is in  | ||||||
| 24 |  the care of petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 25 |   (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order  | ||||||
| 26 |  respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the  | ||||||
| 2 |  cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and  | ||||||
| 3 |  deemed reasonable by the court.
 | ||||||
| 4 |   (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive  | ||||||
| 5 |  relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse of  | ||||||
| 6 |  a family or household member or
to effectuate one of the  | ||||||
| 7 |  granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
hardships.  | ||||||
| 8 |  If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or  | ||||||
| 9 |  any
other harm that one of the remedies listed in  | ||||||
| 10 |  paragraphs (1) through (16)
of this subsection is designed  | ||||||
| 11 |  to prevent, no further evidence is necessary
to establish  | ||||||
| 12 |  that the harm is an irreparable injury.
 | ||||||
| 13 |   (18) Telephone services. | ||||||
| 14 |    (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph  | ||||||
| 15 |  (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon  | ||||||
| 16 |  request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone  | ||||||
| 17 |  service provider to transfer to the petitioner the  | ||||||
| 18 |  right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers  | ||||||
| 19 |  indicated by the petitioner and the financial  | ||||||
| 20 |  responsibility associated with the number or numbers,  | ||||||
| 21 |  as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In  | ||||||
| 22 |  this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone  | ||||||
| 23 |  service provider" means a provider of commercial  | ||||||
| 24 |  mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The  | ||||||
| 25 |  petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone  | ||||||
| 26 |  number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve  | ||||||
| 2 |  the order on the wireless telephone service provider's  | ||||||
| 3 |  agent for service of process provided to the Illinois  | ||||||
| 4 |  Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of the  | ||||||
| 5 |  following:  | ||||||
| 6 |     (i) The name and billing telephone number of  | ||||||
| 7 |  the account holder including the name of the  | ||||||
| 8 |  wireless telephone service provider that serves  | ||||||
| 9 |  the account. | ||||||
| 10 |     (ii) Each telephone number that will be  | ||||||
| 11 |  transferred. | ||||||
| 12 |     (iii) A statement that the provider transfers  | ||||||
| 13 |  to the petitioner all financial responsibility for  | ||||||
| 14 |  and right to the use of any telephone number  | ||||||
| 15 |  transferred under this paragraph. | ||||||
| 16 |    (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall  | ||||||
| 17 |  terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer  | ||||||
| 18 |  to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or  | ||||||
| 19 |  numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this  | ||||||
| 20 |  paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72  | ||||||
| 21 |  hours after it receives the order, that one of the  | ||||||
| 22 |  following applies: | ||||||
| 23 |     (i) The account holder named in the order has  | ||||||
| 24 |  terminated the account. | ||||||
| 25 |     (ii) A difference in network technology would  | ||||||
| 26 |  prevent or impair the functionality of a device on  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  a network if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
| 2 |     (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or  | ||||||
| 3 |  other limitation on network or service provision  | ||||||
| 4 |  to the petitioner. | ||||||
| 5 |     (iv) Another technological or operational  | ||||||
| 6 |  issue would prevent or impair the use of the  | ||||||
| 7 |  telephone number if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
| 8 |    (C) The petitioner assumes all financial  | ||||||
| 9 |  responsibility for and right to the use of any  | ||||||
| 10 |  telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In  | ||||||
| 11 |  this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes  | ||||||
| 12 |  monthly service costs and costs associated with any  | ||||||
| 13 |  mobile device associated with the number. | ||||||
| 14 |    (D) A wireless telephone service provider may  | ||||||
| 15 |  apply to the petitioner its routine and customary  | ||||||
| 16 |  requirements for establishing an account or  | ||||||
| 17 |  transferring a number, including requiring the  | ||||||
| 18 |  petitioner to provide proof of identification,  | ||||||
| 19 |  financial information, and customer preferences.
 | ||||||
| 20 |    (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a  | ||||||
| 21 |  wireless telephone service provider is immune from  | ||||||
| 22 |  civil liability for its actions taken in compliance  | ||||||
| 23 |  with a court order issued under this paragraph. | ||||||
| 24 |    (F) All wireless service providers that provide  | ||||||
| 25 |  services to residential customers shall provide to the  | ||||||
| 26 |  Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  agent for service of orders entered under this  | ||||||
| 2 |  paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered  | ||||||
| 3 |  agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce  | ||||||
| 4 |  Commission within 30 days of such change.  | ||||||
| 5 |    (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall  | ||||||
| 6 |  maintain the list of registered agents for service for  | ||||||
| 7 |  each wireless telephone service provider on the  | ||||||
| 8 |  Commission's website. The Commission may consult with  | ||||||
| 9 |  wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit  | ||||||
| 10 |  Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is  | ||||||
| 11 |  provided and displayed.  | ||||||
| 12 |  (c) Relevant factors; findings.
 | ||||||
| 13 |   (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy,  | ||||||
| 14 |  other than payment of support, the
court shall consider  | ||||||
| 15 |  relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
 | ||||||
| 16 |  following:
 | ||||||
| 17 |    (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and  | ||||||
| 18 |  consequences of the
respondent's past abuse of the  | ||||||
| 19 |  petitioner or any family or household
member,  | ||||||
| 20 |  including the concealment of his or her location in  | ||||||
| 21 |  order to evade
service of process or notice, and the  | ||||||
| 22 |  likelihood of danger of future abuse to
petitioner or
 | ||||||
| 23 |  any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or  | ||||||
| 24 |  household; and
 | ||||||
| 25 |    (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused  | ||||||
| 26 |  or neglected or
improperly relocated from the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State,  | ||||||
| 2 |  or improperly separated from the child's primary  | ||||||
| 3 |  caretaker.
 | ||||||
| 4 |   (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the  | ||||||
| 5 |  parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the  | ||||||
| 6 |  court shall consider relevant
factors, including, but not  | ||||||
| 7 |  limited to, the following:
 | ||||||
| 8 |    (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,  | ||||||
| 9 |  adequacy, location, and other
characteristics of  | ||||||
| 10 |  alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
 | ||||||
| 11 |  dependent adult in the party's care;
 | ||||||
| 12 |    (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
 | ||||||
| 13 |    (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,  | ||||||
| 14 |  and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's  | ||||||
| 15 |  care, to family, school, church,
and community.
 | ||||||
| 16 |   (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph  | ||||||
| 17 |  (4) of this
subsection (c), the court shall make its  | ||||||
| 18 |  findings in an official record or in
writing, and shall at  | ||||||
| 19 |  a minimum set forth the following:
 | ||||||
| 20 |    (i) That the court has considered the applicable  | ||||||
| 21 |  relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of  | ||||||
| 22 |  this subsection (c).
 | ||||||
| 23 |    (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,  | ||||||
| 24 |  unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm  | ||||||
| 25 |  or continued abuse.
 | ||||||
| 26 |    (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or  | ||||||
| 2 |  other alleged abused persons.
 | ||||||
| 3 |   (4) (Blank).
 | ||||||
| 4 |   (5) Never married parties. No rights or  | ||||||
| 5 |  responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage  | ||||||
| 6 |  attach to a putative father until a father and
child  | ||||||
| 7 |  relationship has been established under the Illinois  | ||||||
| 8 |  Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,  | ||||||
| 9 |  the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital  | ||||||
| 10 |  Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate  | ||||||
| 11 |  Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, the  | ||||||
| 12 |  Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,  | ||||||
| 13 |  administrative, or other act of another state or territory,  | ||||||
| 14 |  any other statute of this State, or by any foreign nation  | ||||||
| 15 |  establishing the father and child relationship, any other  | ||||||
| 16 |  proceeding substantially in conformity with the federal  | ||||||
| 17 |  Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity  | ||||||
| 18 |  Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared  | ||||||
| 19 |  in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging  | ||||||
| 20 |  under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a  | ||||||
| 21 |  father and child relationship. Absent such an  | ||||||
| 22 |  adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
 | ||||||
| 23 |  temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,  | ||||||
| 24 |  including parenting time with the minor child, or
physical  | ||||||
| 25 |  care
and possession of the minor child, nor shall
an order  | ||||||
| 26 |  of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that  | ||||||
| 2 | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a  | ||||||
| 3 | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
 | ||||||
| 4 | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such  | ||||||
| 5 | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall  | ||||||
| 6 | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result  | ||||||
| 7 | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the  | ||||||
| 8 | hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. The findings  | ||||||
| 9 | shall be an official record or in
writing.
 | ||||||
| 10 |  (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be  | ||||||
| 11 | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:
 | ||||||
| 12 |   (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless  | ||||||
| 13 |  that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of  | ||||||
| 14 |  force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
 | ||||||
| 15 |   (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
 | ||||||
| 16 |   (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of  | ||||||
| 17 |  another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such  | ||||||
| 18 |  force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code  | ||||||
| 19 |  of 2012; 
 | ||||||
| 20 |   (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense  | ||||||
| 21 |  of another;
 | ||||||
| 22 |   (5) petitioner left the residence or household to avoid  | ||||||
| 23 |  further abuse
by respondent;
 | ||||||
| 24 |   (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or household  | ||||||
| 25 |  to avoid further
abuse by respondent; or 
 | ||||||
| 26 |   (7) conduct by any family or household member excused  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  the abuse by
respondent, unless that same conduct would  | ||||||
| 2 |  have excused such abuse if the
parties had not been family  | ||||||
| 3 |  or household members.

 | ||||||
| 7 |  Section 15. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is  | ||||||
| 8 | amended by changing Section 214 as follows:
 | ||||||
| 9 |  (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
 | ||||||
| 10 |  Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies. 
 | ||||||
| 11 |  (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner  | ||||||
| 12 | has been
abused by a family or household member or that  | ||||||
| 13 | petitioner is a high-risk
adult who has been abused, neglected,  | ||||||
| 14 | or exploited, as defined in this Act,
an order of protection  | ||||||
| 15 | prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
shall issue;  | ||||||
| 16 | provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
 | ||||||
| 17 | one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on  | ||||||
| 18 | emergency
orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219  | ||||||
| 19 | on plenary orders.
Petitioner shall not be denied an order of  | ||||||
| 20 | protection because petitioner or
respondent is a minor. The  | ||||||
| 21 | court, when determining whether or not to issue
an order of  | ||||||
| 22 | protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
 | ||||||
| 23 | on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of  | ||||||
| 24 | prior
orders of protection shall be in accordance with this  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | Act.
 | ||||||
| 2 |  (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in  | ||||||
| 3 | an order of
protection shall be determined in accordance with  | ||||||
| 4 | this Section and one of
the following Sections, as appropriate:  | ||||||
| 5 | Section 217 on emergency orders,
Section 218 on interim orders,  | ||||||
| 6 | and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
remedies listed in this  | ||||||
| 7 | subsection shall be in addition to other civil or
criminal  | ||||||
| 8 | remedies available to petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 9 |   (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.  | ||||||
| 10 |  Prohibit
respondent's harassment, interference with  | ||||||
| 11 |  personal liberty, intimidation
of a dependent, physical  | ||||||
| 12 |  abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or
exploitation, as  | ||||||
| 13 |  defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as  | ||||||
| 14 |  defined
in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if  | ||||||
| 15 |  such abuse, neglect,
exploitation, or stalking has  | ||||||
| 16 |  occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if
not  | ||||||
| 17 |  prohibited.
 | ||||||
| 18 |   (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.  | ||||||
| 19 |  Prohibit respondent from
entering or remaining in any  | ||||||
| 20 |  residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
 | ||||||
| 21 |  including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner  | ||||||
| 22 |  has a right to
occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive  | ||||||
| 23 |  possession of the residence, household, or premises shall  | ||||||
| 24 |  not
affect title to real property, nor shall the court be  | ||||||
| 25 |  limited by the standard
set forth in subsection (c-2) of  | ||||||
| 26 |  Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  Marriage
Act.
 | ||||||
| 2 |    (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to  | ||||||
| 3 |  occupancy of a
residence or household if it is solely  | ||||||
| 4 |  or jointly owned or leased by that
party, that party's  | ||||||
| 5 |  spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that  | ||||||
| 6 |  party or
a minor child in that party's care, or by any  | ||||||
| 7 |  person or entity other than the
opposing party that  | ||||||
| 8 |  authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
 | ||||||
| 9 |  violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph  | ||||||
| 10 |  (B) shall not preclude
equitable relief.
 | ||||||
| 11 |    (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and  | ||||||
| 12 |  respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a  | ||||||
| 13 |  residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the  | ||||||
| 14 |  hardships to respondent and any minor child or
 | ||||||
| 15 |  dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from  | ||||||
| 16 |  entry of this remedy with
(ii) the hardships to  | ||||||
| 17 |  petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
 | ||||||
| 18 |  petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to  | ||||||
| 19 |  the risk of abuse
(should petitioner remain at the  | ||||||
| 20 |  residence or household) or from loss of
possession of  | ||||||
| 21 |  the residence or household (should petitioner leave to  | ||||||
| 22 |  avoid the
risk of abuse). When determining the balance  | ||||||
| 23 |  of hardships, the court shall
also take into account  | ||||||
| 24 |  the accessibility of the residence or household.
 | ||||||
| 25 |  Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not  | ||||||
| 26 |  have a right to
occupancy.
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |    The balance of hardships is presumed to favor  | ||||||
| 2 |  possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is  | ||||||
| 3 |  rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing  | ||||||
| 4 |  that the hardships to respondent substantially  | ||||||
| 5 |  outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor  | ||||||
| 6 |  child or dependent adult in
petitioner's care. The  | ||||||
| 7 |  court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
 | ||||||
| 8 |  motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,  | ||||||
| 9 |  accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead  | ||||||
| 10 |  of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
 | ||||||
| 11 |  household.
 | ||||||
| 12 |   (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order  | ||||||
| 13 |  respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
 | ||||||
| 14 |  protected by the order of protection, or prohibit  | ||||||
| 15 |  respondent from entering
or remaining present at  | ||||||
| 16 |  petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
 | ||||||
| 17 |  specified places at times when petitioner is present, or  | ||||||
| 18 |  both, if
reasonable, given the balance of hardships.  | ||||||
| 19 |  Hardships need not be balanced for
the court to enter a  | ||||||
| 20 |  stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
 | ||||||
| 21 |  right to enter the premises.
 | ||||||
| 22 |    (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner  | ||||||
| 23 |  exclusive possession
of the residence, or prohibits  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent from entering the residence,
or orders  | ||||||
| 25 |  respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
 | ||||||
| 26 |  protected persons, then the court may allow respondent  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  access to the
residence to remove items of clothing and  | ||||||
| 2 |  personal adornment
used exclusively by respondent,  | ||||||
| 3 |  medications, and other items as the court
directs. The  | ||||||
| 4 |  right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion  | ||||||
| 5 |  as the
court directs and in the presence of an  | ||||||
| 6 |  agreed-upon adult third party or law
enforcement  | ||||||
| 7 |  officer.
 | ||||||
| 8 |    (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend  | ||||||
| 9 |  the same public, private, or non-public elementary,  | ||||||
| 10 |  middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order  | ||||||
| 11 |  of protection and providing relief shall consider the  | ||||||
| 12 |  severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or  | ||||||
| 13 |  emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational  | ||||||
| 14 |  rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent  | ||||||
| 15 |  under federal and State law, the availability of a  | ||||||
| 16 |  transfer of the respondent to another school, a change  | ||||||
| 17 |  of placement or a change of program of the respondent,  | ||||||
| 18 |  the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption  | ||||||
| 19 |  that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to  | ||||||
| 20 |  another school, and any other relevant facts of the  | ||||||
| 21 |  case. The court may order that the respondent not  | ||||||
| 22 |  attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,  | ||||||
| 23 |  middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,  | ||||||
| 24 |  order that the respondent accept a change of placement  | ||||||
| 25 |  or change of program, as determined by the school  | ||||||
| 26 |  district or private or non-public school, or place  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  restrictions on the respondent's movements within the  | ||||||
| 2 |  school attended by the petitioner.
The respondent  | ||||||
| 3 |  bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the  | ||||||
| 4 |  evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or  | ||||||
| 5 |  change of program of the respondent is not available.  | ||||||
| 6 |  The respondent also bears the burden of production with  | ||||||
| 7 |  respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational  | ||||||
| 8 |  disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the  | ||||||
| 9 |  respondent to another school. A transfer, change of  | ||||||
| 10 |  placement, or change of program is not unavailable to  | ||||||
| 11 |  the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent  | ||||||
| 12 |  does not agree with the school district's or private or  | ||||||
| 13 |  non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or  | ||||||
| 14 |  change of program or solely on the ground that the  | ||||||
| 15 |  respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise  | ||||||
| 16 |  does not take an action required to effectuate a  | ||||||
| 17 |  transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
 | ||||||
| 18 |  When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the  | ||||||
| 19 |  public, private, or non-public school attended by the  | ||||||
| 20 |  petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to  | ||||||
| 21 |  another attendance center within the respondent's  | ||||||
| 22 |  school district or private or non-public school, the  | ||||||
| 23 |  school district or private or non-public school shall  | ||||||
| 24 |  have sole discretion to determine the attendance  | ||||||
| 25 |  center to which the respondent is transferred.
In the  | ||||||
| 26 |  event the court order results in a transfer of the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  minor respondent to another attendance center, a  | ||||||
| 2 |  change in the respondent's placement, or a change of  | ||||||
| 3 |  the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or  | ||||||
| 4 |  legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for  | ||||||
| 5 |  transportation and other costs associated with the  | ||||||
| 6 |  transfer or change.  | ||||||
| 7 |    (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or  | ||||||
| 8 |  legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain  | ||||||
| 9 |  actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to  | ||||||
| 10 |  ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In  | ||||||
| 11 |  the event the court orders a transfer of the respondent  | ||||||
| 12 |  to another school, the parents, guardian, or legal  | ||||||
| 13 |  custodian of the respondent is responsible for  | ||||||
| 14 |  transportation and other costs associated with the  | ||||||
| 15 |  change of school by the respondent.  | ||||||
| 16 |   (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to  | ||||||
| 17 |  undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social  | ||||||
| 18 |  worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,  | ||||||
| 19 |  family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program,  | ||||||
| 20 |  mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing  | ||||||
| 21 |  services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
 | ||||||
| 22 |  abusers or any other guidance service the court deems  | ||||||
| 23 |  appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any  | ||||||
| 24 |  intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois  | ||||||
| 25 |  Department of Human Services protocol approved partner  | ||||||
| 26 |  abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  all recommended treatment. 
 | ||||||
| 2 |   (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In  | ||||||
| 3 |  order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or  | ||||||
| 4 |  unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the  | ||||||
| 5 |  minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect  | ||||||
| 6 |  the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either  | ||||||
| 7 |  or both of the
following: (i) grant petitioner physical  | ||||||
| 8 |  care or possession of the minor child,
or both, or (ii)  | ||||||
| 9 |  order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove  | ||||||
| 10 |  a
minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person  | ||||||
| 11 |  in loco parentis.
 | ||||||
| 12 |   If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has  | ||||||
| 13 |  committed abuse
(as defined in Section 103) of a minor  | ||||||
| 14 |  child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that  | ||||||
| 15 |  awarding physical care to respondent would not
be in the  | ||||||
| 16 |  minor child's best interest.
 | ||||||
| 17 |   (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:  | ||||||
| 18 |  significant decision-making. Award temporary  | ||||||
| 19 |  decision-making responsibility to petitioner
in accordance  | ||||||
| 20 |  with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
 | ||||||
| 21 |  Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and this  | ||||||
| 22 |  State's Uniform
Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement  | ||||||
| 23 |  Act. 
 | ||||||
| 24 |   If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has  | ||||||
| 25 |  committed abuse (as
defined in Section 103) of a minor  | ||||||
| 26 |  child, there shall be a rebuttable
presumption that  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  awarding temporary significant decision-making  | ||||||
| 2 |  responsibility to respondent would not be in
the child's  | ||||||
| 3 |  best interest.
 | ||||||
| 4 |   (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if  | ||||||
| 5 |  any, of respondent in
any case in which the court awards  | ||||||
| 6 |  physical care or allocates temporary significant  | ||||||
| 7 |  decision-making responsibility of
a minor child to  | ||||||
| 8 |  petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's  | ||||||
| 9 |  parenting time
with a minor child if the court finds that  | ||||||
| 10 |  respondent has done or is
likely to do any of the  | ||||||
| 11 |  following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during  | ||||||
| 12 |  parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an  | ||||||
| 13 |  opportunity to abuse or harass
petitioner or petitioner's  | ||||||
| 14 |  family or household members; (iii) improperly
conceal or  | ||||||
| 15 |  detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner  | ||||||
| 16 |  that is
not in the best interests of the minor child. The  | ||||||
| 17 |  court shall not be limited
by the standards set forth in  | ||||||
| 18 |  Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of  | ||||||
| 19 |  Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the order  | ||||||
| 20 |  shall
specify dates and times for the parenting time to  | ||||||
| 21 |  take place or other specific
parameters or conditions that  | ||||||
| 22 |  are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
refer  | ||||||
| 23 |  merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
 | ||||||
| 24 |   Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor  | ||||||
| 25 |  child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time,  | ||||||
| 26 |  respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
 | ||||||
| 2 |  petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in  | ||||||
| 3 |  a violent or
abusive manner.
 | ||||||
| 4 |   If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's  | ||||||
| 5 |  family or
household from future abuse, respondent shall be  | ||||||
| 6 |  prohibited from coming to
petitioner's residence to meet  | ||||||
| 7 |  the minor child for parenting time, and the
parties shall  | ||||||
| 8 |  submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
 | ||||||
| 9 |  alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may  | ||||||
| 10 |  be approved to
supervise parenting time only after filing  | ||||||
| 11 |  an affidavit accepting
that responsibility and  | ||||||
| 12 |  acknowledging accountability to the court.
 | ||||||
| 13 |   (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit  | ||||||
| 14 |  respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or  | ||||||
| 15 |  concealing the child within the State.
 | ||||||
| 16 |   (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in  | ||||||
| 17 |  court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,  | ||||||
| 18 |  neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the  | ||||||
| 19 |  child to the custody or care of the petitioner or
to permit  | ||||||
| 20 |  any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or  | ||||||
| 21 |  the
respondent.
 | ||||||
| 22 |   (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner  | ||||||
| 23 |  exclusive
possession of personal property and, if  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to  | ||||||
| 25 |  promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
 | ||||||
| 26 |    (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  property; or
 | ||||||
| 2 |    (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing  | ||||||
| 3 |  it would risk
abuse of petitioner by respondent or is  | ||||||
| 4 |  impracticable; and the balance of
hardships favors  | ||||||
| 5 |  temporary possession by petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 6 |   If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property  | ||||||
| 7 |  is that it is
marital property, the court may award  | ||||||
| 8 |  petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the  | ||||||
| 9 |  standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a  | ||||||
| 10 |  proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois  | ||||||
| 11 |  Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or  | ||||||
| 12 |  hereafter amended.
 | ||||||
| 13 |   No order under this provision shall affect title to  | ||||||
| 14 |  property.
 | ||||||
| 15 |   (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent  | ||||||
| 16 |  from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing,  | ||||||
| 17 |  damaging or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal  | ||||||
| 18 |  property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
 | ||||||
| 19 |    (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the  | ||||||
| 20 |  property; or
 | ||||||
| 21 |    (ii) the parties own the property jointly,
and the  | ||||||
| 22 |  balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
 | ||||||
| 23 |   If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property  | ||||||
| 24 |  is that it is
marital property, the court may grant  | ||||||
| 25 |  petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this  | ||||||
| 26 |  paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as  | ||||||
| 2 |  now or hereafter amended.
 | ||||||
| 3 |   The court may further prohibit respondent from  | ||||||
| 4 |  improperly using the
financial or other resources of an  | ||||||
| 5 |  aged member of the family or household
for the profit or  | ||||||
| 6 |  advantage of respondent or of any other person.
 | ||||||
| 7 |   (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the  | ||||||
| 8 |  exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,  | ||||||
| 9 |  possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner  | ||||||
| 10 |  or the respondent or a minor child residing in the  | ||||||
| 11 |  residence or household of either the petitioner or the  | ||||||
| 12 |  respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the  | ||||||
| 13 |  animal and forbid the respondent from taking,  | ||||||
| 14 |  transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or  | ||||||
| 15 |  otherwise disposing of the animal.
 | ||||||
| 16 |   (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to  | ||||||
| 17 |  pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in  | ||||||
| 18 |  the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been  | ||||||
| 19 |  allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has  | ||||||
| 20 |  a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance  | ||||||
| 21 |  with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act,  | ||||||
| 22 |  which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
 | ||||||
| 23 |  support, payment through the clerk and withholding of  | ||||||
| 24 |  income to secure
payment. An order for child support may be  | ||||||
| 25 |  granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care of a  | ||||||
| 26 |  child, or an order or agreement for
physical care of a  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant  | ||||||
| 2 |  decision-making responsibility.
Such a support order shall  | ||||||
| 3 |  expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental  | ||||||
| 4 |  responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's  | ||||||
| 5 |  significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise  | ||||||
| 6 |  provided in the order.
 | ||||||
| 7 |   (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to  | ||||||
| 8 |  pay petitioner for
losses suffered as a direct result of  | ||||||
| 9 |  the abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Such losses shall  | ||||||
| 10 |  include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
 | ||||||
| 11 |  earnings or other support, repair or replacement of  | ||||||
| 12 |  property damaged or taken,
reasonable attorney's fees,  | ||||||
| 13 |  court costs and moving or other travel expenses,
including  | ||||||
| 14 |  additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and  | ||||||
| 15 |  restaurant
meals.
 | ||||||
| 16 |    (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is  | ||||||
| 17 |  entitled to seek
maintenance, child support or  | ||||||
| 18 |  property distribution from the other party
under the  | ||||||
| 19 |  Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as  | ||||||
| 20 |  now or
hereafter amended, the court may order  | ||||||
| 21 |  respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to  | ||||||
| 22 |  the extent that such reimbursement would be  | ||||||
| 23 |  "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by  | ||||||
| 24 |  subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of
that Act.
 | ||||||
| 25 |    (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an  | ||||||
| 26 |  improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  court may order respondent to pay the
reasonable  | ||||||
| 2 |  expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for  | ||||||
| 3 |  and recovery
of the minor child, including but not  | ||||||
| 4 |  limited to legal fees, court costs,
private  | ||||||
| 5 |  investigator fees, and travel costs.
 | ||||||
| 6 |   (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent  | ||||||
| 7 |  from entering or
remaining in the residence or household  | ||||||
| 8 |  while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or  | ||||||
| 9 |  drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being  | ||||||
| 10 |  of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
 | ||||||
| 11 |   (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
 | ||||||
| 12 |    (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of  | ||||||
| 13 |  protection was issued from possessing any firearms  | ||||||
| 14 |  during the duration of the order if the order: | ||||||
| 15 |     (1) was issued after a hearing of which such  | ||||||
| 16 |  person received
actual notice, and at which such  | ||||||
| 17 |  person had an opportunity to
participate; | ||||||
| 18 |     (2) restrains such person from harassing,  | ||||||
| 19 |  stalking, or
threatening an intimate partner of  | ||||||
| 20 |  such person or child of such
intimate partner or  | ||||||
| 21 |  person, or engaging in other conduct that
would  | ||||||
| 22 |  place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of  | ||||||
| 23 |  bodily
injury to the partner or child; and | ||||||
| 24 |     (3)(i) includes a finding that such person  | ||||||
| 25 |  represents a
credible threat to the physical  | ||||||
| 26 |  safety of such intimate partner
or child; or
(ii)  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,  | ||||||
| 2 |  attempted
use, or threatened use of physical force  | ||||||
| 3 |  against such intimate
partner or child that would  | ||||||
| 4 |  reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury. | ||||||
| 5 |   Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
 | ||||||
| 6 |  possession of the respondent, except as provided in  | ||||||
| 7 |  subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be  | ||||||
| 8 |  turned
over to the local law enforcement agency. The  | ||||||
| 9 |  local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail  | ||||||
| 10 |  the card to the Department of State Police Firearm  | ||||||
| 11 |  Owner's Identification Card Office
for safekeeping.  | ||||||
| 12 |  The court shall
issue a warrant for seizure of any  | ||||||
| 13 |  firearm in the possession of the respondent, to be kept  | ||||||
| 14 |  by the local law enforcement agency for safekeeping,  | ||||||
| 15 |  except as provided in subsection (b).
The period of  | ||||||
| 16 |  safekeeping shall be for the duration of the order of  | ||||||
| 17 |  protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm  | ||||||
| 18 |  Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at  | ||||||
| 19 |  the respondent's request, be returned to the  | ||||||
| 20 |  respondent at the end
of the order of protection. It is  | ||||||
| 21 |  the respondent's responsibility to notify the  | ||||||
| 22 |  Department of State Police Firearm Owner's  | ||||||
| 23 |  Identification Card Office. 
 | ||||||
| 24 |    (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined  | ||||||
| 25 |  in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, the court  | ||||||
| 26 |  shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer  | ||||||
| 2 |  be surrendered to
the chief law enforcement executive  | ||||||
| 3 |  of the agency in which the respondent is
employed, who  | ||||||
| 4 |  shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the  | ||||||
| 5 |  duration of the order of protection.
 | ||||||
| 6 |    (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,  | ||||||
| 7 |  if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card  | ||||||
| 8 |  cannot be returned to respondent because respondent  | ||||||
| 9 |  cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to  | ||||||
| 10 |  retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to  | ||||||
| 11 |  possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law  | ||||||
| 12 |  enforcement agency, the court may order the local law  | ||||||
| 13 |  enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the  | ||||||
| 14 |  firearms for training purposes, or for any other  | ||||||
| 15 |  application as deemed appropriate by the local law  | ||||||
| 16 |  enforcement agency, including a sale at public auction  | ||||||
| 17 |  under the provisions of the Law Enforcement  | ||||||
| 18 |  Disposition of Property Act; or that the firearms be  | ||||||
| 19 |  turned over to a third party who is lawfully eligible  | ||||||
| 20 |  to possess firearms, and who does not reside with  | ||||||
| 21 |  respondent.  | ||||||
| 22 |   (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of  | ||||||
| 23 |  protection
prohibits respondent from having contact with  | ||||||
| 24 |  the minor child,
or if petitioner's address is omitted  | ||||||
| 25 |  under subsection (b) of
Section 203, or if necessary to  | ||||||
| 26 |  prevent abuse or wrongful removal or
concealment of a minor  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
 | ||||||
| 2 |  prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or  | ||||||
| 3 |  attempting to
inspect or obtain, school or any other  | ||||||
| 4 |  records of the minor child
who is in the care of  | ||||||
| 5 |  petitioner.
 | ||||||
| 6 |   (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order  | ||||||
| 7 |  respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary  | ||||||
| 8 |  housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the  | ||||||
| 9 |  cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and  | ||||||
| 10 |  deemed reasonable by the court.
 | ||||||
| 11 |   (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive  | ||||||
| 12 |  relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse of  | ||||||
| 13 |  a family or household member
or further abuse, neglect, or  | ||||||
| 14 |  exploitation of a high-risk adult with
disabilities or to  | ||||||
| 15 |  effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
 | ||||||
| 16 |  balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the  | ||||||
| 17 |  injunction is abuse
or any other harm that one of the  | ||||||
| 18 |  remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through
(16) of this  | ||||||
| 19 |  subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
 | ||||||
| 20 |  necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
 | ||||||
| 21 |   (18) Telephone services. | ||||||
| 22 |    (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph  | ||||||
| 23 |  (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon  | ||||||
| 24 |  request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone  | ||||||
| 25 |  service provider to transfer to the petitioner the  | ||||||
| 26 |  right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  indicated by the petitioner and the financial  | ||||||
| 2 |  responsibility associated with the number or numbers,  | ||||||
| 3 |  as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For  | ||||||
| 4 |  purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless  | ||||||
| 5 |  telephone service provider" means a provider of  | ||||||
| 6 |  commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332.  | ||||||
| 7 |  The petitioner may request the transfer of each  | ||||||
| 8 |  telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child  | ||||||
| 9 |  in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court  | ||||||
| 10 |  shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service  | ||||||
| 11 |  provider's agent for service of process provided to the  | ||||||
| 12 |  Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain  | ||||||
| 13 |  all of the following: | ||||||
| 14 |     (i) The name and billing telephone number of  | ||||||
| 15 |  the account holder including the name of the  | ||||||
| 16 |  wireless telephone service provider that serves  | ||||||
| 17 |  the account. | ||||||
| 18 |     (ii) Each telephone number that will be  | ||||||
| 19 |  transferred. | ||||||
| 20 |     (iii) A statement that the provider transfers  | ||||||
| 21 |  to the petitioner all financial responsibility for  | ||||||
| 22 |  and right to the use of any telephone number  | ||||||
| 23 |  transferred under this paragraph. | ||||||
| 24 |    (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall  | ||||||
| 25 |  terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer  | ||||||
| 26 |  to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this  | ||||||
| 2 |  paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72  | ||||||
| 3 |  hours after it receives the order, that one of the  | ||||||
| 4 |  following applies: | ||||||
| 5 |     (i) The account holder named in the order has  | ||||||
| 6 |  terminated the account. | ||||||
| 7 |     (ii) A difference in network technology would  | ||||||
| 8 |  prevent or impair the functionality of a device on  | ||||||
| 9 |  a network if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
| 10 |     (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or  | ||||||
| 11 |  other limitation on network or service provision  | ||||||
| 12 |  to the petitioner. | ||||||
| 13 |     (iv) Another technological or operational  | ||||||
| 14 |  issue would prevent or impair the use of the  | ||||||
| 15 |  telephone number if the transfer occurs. | ||||||
| 16 |    (C) The petitioner assumes all financial  | ||||||
| 17 |  responsibility for and right to the use of any  | ||||||
| 18 |  telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In  | ||||||
| 19 |  this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes  | ||||||
| 20 |  monthly service costs and costs associated with any  | ||||||
| 21 |  mobile device associated with the number. | ||||||
| 22 |    (D) A wireless telephone service provider may  | ||||||
| 23 |  apply to the petitioner its routine and customary  | ||||||
| 24 |  requirements for establishing an account or  | ||||||
| 25 |  transferring a number, including requiring the  | ||||||
| 26 |  petitioner to provide proof of identification,  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  financial information, and customer preferences.
 | ||||||
| 2 |    (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a  | ||||||
| 3 |  wireless telephone service provider is immune from  | ||||||
| 4 |  civil liability for its actions taken in compliance  | ||||||
| 5 |  with a court order issued under this paragraph. | ||||||
| 6 |    (F) All wireless service providers that provide  | ||||||
| 7 |  services to residential customers shall provide to the  | ||||||
| 8 |  Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an  | ||||||
| 9 |  agent for service of orders entered under this  | ||||||
| 10 |  paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered  | ||||||
| 11 |  agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce  | ||||||
| 12 |  Commission within 30 days of such change.  | ||||||
| 13 |    (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall  | ||||||
| 14 |  maintain the list of registered agents for service for  | ||||||
| 15 |  each wireless telephone service provider on the  | ||||||
| 16 |  Commission's website. The Commission may consult with  | ||||||
| 17 |  wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit  | ||||||
| 18 |  Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is  | ||||||
| 19 |  provided and displayed.  | ||||||
| 20 |  (c) Relevant factors; findings.
 | ||||||
| 21 |   (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,  | ||||||
| 22 |  other than
payment of support, the court shall consider
 | ||||||
| 23 |  relevant factors, including but not limited to the  | ||||||
| 24 |  following:
 | ||||||
| 25 |    (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and  | ||||||
| 26 |  consequences of the
respondent's past abuse, neglect  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  or exploitation of the petitioner or
any family or  | ||||||
| 2 |  household member, including the concealment of his or  | ||||||
| 3 |  her
location in order to evade service of process or  | ||||||
| 4 |  notice, and the likelihood of
danger of future abuse,  | ||||||
| 5 |  neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
 | ||||||
| 6 |  petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
 | ||||||
| 7 |    (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused  | ||||||
| 8 |  or neglected or
improperly relocated from the  | ||||||
| 9 |  jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or  | ||||||
| 10 |  improperly separated from the child's primary  | ||||||
| 11 |  caretaker.
 | ||||||
| 12 |   (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the  | ||||||
| 13 |  parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the  | ||||||
| 14 |  court shall consider relevant
factors, including but not  | ||||||
| 15 |  limited to the following:
 | ||||||
| 16 |    (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,  | ||||||
| 17 |  adequacy, location and
other characteristics of  | ||||||
| 18 |  alternate housing for each party and any minor child
or  | ||||||
| 19 |  dependent adult in the party's care;
 | ||||||
| 20 |    (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
 | ||||||
| 21 |    (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,  | ||||||
| 22 |  and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's  | ||||||
| 23 |  care, to family, school, church
and community.
 | ||||||
| 24 |   (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph  | ||||||
| 25 |  (4) of this
subsection, the court shall make its findings  | ||||||
| 26 |  in an official record or in
writing, and shall at a minimum  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  set forth the following:
 | ||||||
| 2 |    (i) That the court has considered the applicable  | ||||||
| 3 |  relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of  | ||||||
| 4 |  this subsection.
 | ||||||
| 5 |    (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,  | ||||||
| 6 |  unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm  | ||||||
| 7 |  or continued abuse.
 | ||||||
| 8 |    (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the  | ||||||
| 9 |  requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or  | ||||||
| 10 |  other alleged abused persons.
 | ||||||
| 11 |   (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order  | ||||||
| 12 |  of protection,
the court, as an alternative to or as a  | ||||||
| 13 |  supplement to making the findings
described in paragraphs  | ||||||
| 14 |  (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may
use  | ||||||
| 15 |  the following procedure:
 | ||||||
| 16 |   When a verified petition for an emergency order of  | ||||||
| 17 |  protection in
accordance with the requirements of Sections  | ||||||
| 18 |  203 and 217 is
presented to the court, the court shall  | ||||||
| 19 |  examine petitioner on oath or
affirmation. An emergency  | ||||||
| 20 |  order of protection shall be issued by the court
if it  | ||||||
| 21 |  appears from the contents of the petition and the  | ||||||
| 22 |  examination of
petitioner that the averments are  | ||||||
| 23 |  sufficient to indicate abuse by
respondent and to support  | ||||||
| 24 |  the granting of relief under the issuance of the
emergency  | ||||||
| 25 |  order of protection.
 | ||||||
| 26 |   (5) Never married parties. No rights or  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage  | ||||||
| 2 |  attach to a putative father until a father and
child  | ||||||
| 3 |  relationship has been established under the Illinois  | ||||||
| 4 |  Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,  | ||||||
| 5 |  the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital  | ||||||
| 6 |  Records Act, the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate  | ||||||
| 7 |  Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform
Reciprocal Enforcement of  | ||||||
| 8 |  Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support
Act, the  | ||||||
| 9 |  Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,  | ||||||
| 10 |  administrative, or
other act of another state or territory,  | ||||||
| 11 |  any other Illinois statute, or by any
foreign nation  | ||||||
| 12 |  establishing the father and child relationship, any other
 | ||||||
| 13 |  proceeding substantially in conformity with the Personal  | ||||||
| 14 |  Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of  | ||||||
| 15 |  1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where both
parties appeared in  | ||||||
| 16 |  open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
 | ||||||
| 17 |  under
oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a  | ||||||
| 18 |  father and child
relationship.
Absent such an  | ||||||
| 19 |  adjudication, finding, or acknowledgment, no putative
 | ||||||
| 20 |  father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental  | ||||||
| 21 |  responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor  | ||||||
| 22 |  child, or
physical care and possession of the minor child,  | ||||||
| 23 |  nor shall an order of payment
for support of the minor  | ||||||
| 24 |  child be entered.
 | ||||||
| 25 |  (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that  | ||||||
| 26 | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of  | ||||||
| 2 | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such  | ||||||
| 3 | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall  | ||||||
| 4 | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result  | ||||||
| 5 | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the  | ||||||
| 6 | hardship
to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings  | ||||||
| 7 | shall be an official
record or in writing.
 | ||||||
| 8 |  (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be  | ||||||
| 9 | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:
 | ||||||
| 10 |   (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless  | ||||||
| 11 |  that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of  | ||||||
| 12 |  force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
 | ||||||
| 13 |   (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
 | ||||||
| 14 |   (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of  | ||||||
| 15 |  another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such  | ||||||
| 16 |  force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code  | ||||||
| 17 |  of 2012; 
 | ||||||
| 18 |   (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense  | ||||||
| 19 |  of another;
 | ||||||
| 20 |   (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid  | ||||||
| 21 |  further abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
 | ||||||
| 22 |   (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household  | ||||||
| 23 |  to avoid further
abuse, neglect, or exploitation by  | ||||||
| 24 |  respondent;
 | ||||||
| 25 |   (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused  | ||||||
| 26 |  the abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  that same conduct would have
excused such abuse, neglect,  | ||||||
| 2 |  or exploitation if the parties had not been
family or  | ||||||
| 3 |  household members.

| 7 |  Section 20. The Law Enforcement Disposition of Property Act  | ||||||
| 8 | is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
 | ||||||
| 9 |  (765 ILCS 1030/2) (from Ch. 141, par. 142)
 | ||||||
| 10 |  Sec. 2. 
(a) Such property believed to be abandoned, lost or  | ||||||
| 11 | stolen or otherwise
illegally possessed shall be retained in  | ||||||
| 12 | custody by the sheriff, chief of
police or other principal  | ||||||
| 13 | official of the law enforcement agency, which
shall make  | ||||||
| 14 | reasonable inquiry and efforts to identify and notify the owner
 | ||||||
| 15 | or other person entitled to possession thereof, and shall  | ||||||
| 16 | return the
property after such person provides reasonable and  | ||||||
| 17 | satisfactory proof of
his ownership or right to possession and  | ||||||
| 18 | reimburses the agency for all
reasonable expenses of such  | ||||||
| 19 | custody.
 | ||||||
| 20 |  (b) Weapons that have been confiscated as a result of  | ||||||
| 21 | having been
abandoned or illegally possessed may be
sold at  | ||||||

laboratory  | ||||||
| 24 | system, for training purposes, or for any other application as
 | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | deemed appropriate by the Department, if no legitimate
claim is
 | ||||||
| 2 | made for the confiscated weapon within 6 months of the date of
 | ||||||
| 3 | confiscation, or within 6 months of final court disposition if  | ||||||
| 4 | such
confiscated weapon was used for evidentiary purposes.
