4firearm, the type of firearms used, annual statistical 
5information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and 
6concealed carry license applications, revocations, and 
7compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners 
8Identification Card Act, firearm restraining order 
9dispositions, and firearm dealer license certification

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

23 (5 ILCS 840/40)
24 Sec. 40. Task Force recommendations.
 
 
SB1957- 26 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 (a) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and 
2organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness 
3services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs 
4and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving 
5concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could 
6be accomplished by:
7  (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee 
8 assistance programs (EAPs).
9  (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated 
10 healthcare plans and include more progressive options 
11 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks 
12 shouldered by our first responders.
13  (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service 
14 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at 
15 raising awareness of available assistance options.
16  (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach 
17 lists of all available resources to training manuals and 
18 continuing education requirements. 
19 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and 
20organizations sponsor or facilitate first responders with 
21specialized training in the areas of psychological fitness, 
22depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best 
23practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
24  (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member 
25 of an agency or organization to attend specialized 
26 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency, 
 
 
SB1957- 27 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 association, or organization recognized in their fields of 
2 study.
3  (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers, 
4 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified 
5 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection 
6 training techniques, or to provide regular access to 
7 mental health professionals.
8  (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders 
9 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring, 
10 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and 
11 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective 
12 agency or organization size, frequency, and number of all 
13 current federal and state mandatory examinations and 
14 trainings expected respectively.
15  (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a 
16 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction 
17 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities, 
18 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically 
19 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental 
20 wellness. 
21 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators 
22and leadership personnel solicit training services from 
23evidence-based, data driven organizations. Organizations with 
24personnel trained on the analytical review and interpretation 
25of specific fields related to the nature of first responders' 
26exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, chronic state of 
 
 
SB1957- 28 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for 
2expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary 
3self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above. 
4These objectives could be met by:
5  (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or 
6 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific 
7 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies 
8 and organizations listed above receive grants and 
9 allocations to assist communities with the very issues 
10 being discussed in this Section.
11  (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first 
12 responders and their families through regular messaging 
13 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy 
14 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals' 
15 careers.
16  (3) Funding and implementing PSA campaigns that 
17 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental 
18 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment, 
19 and recovery.
20  (4) Promoting and raising awareness of not-for-profit 
21 non-for-profit organizations currently available to assist 
22 individuals in search of care and treatment. Organizations 
23 have intuitive user-friendly sites, most of which have 
24 mobile applications, so first responders can access at a 
25 moment's notice. However, because of limited funds, these 
26 organizations have a challenging time of getting the word 
 
 
SB1957- 29 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 out there about their existence.
2  (5) Expanding Family and Medical Leave Act protections 
3 for individuals voluntarily seeking preventative 
4 treatment.
5  (6) Promoting and ensuring complete patient 
6 confidentiality protections. 
7 (d) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and 
8organizations incorporate the following training components 
9into already existing modules and educational curriculums. 
10Doing so could be done by:
11  (1) Bolstering academy and school curricula by 
12 requiring depressive disorder training catered to PTSD, 
13 substance abuse, and early detection techniques training, 
14 taking into close consideration respective agency or 
15 organization size, and the frequency and number of all 
16 current federal and state mandatory examinations and 
17 trainings expected respectively.
18  (2) Continuing to allocate or match federal and state 
19 funds to maintain Mobile Mobil Training Units (MTUs). 
20  (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support 
21 training into already exiting statewide curriculums and 
22 mandatory examinations, annual State Fire Marshal 
23 examinations, and physical fitness examinations. The 
24 subject matter of the certificate should have an emphasis 
25 on mental health and wellness, as well as familiarization 
26 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical 
 
 
SB1957- 30 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

11 Section 35. The School Code is amended by changing 
12Sections 10-22.6, 10-27.1A and 34-8.05 as follows:



13 (105 ILCS 5/10-22.6) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-22.6)


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

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

17 (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or 
18misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct 
19perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20) 
20of this Section, and
no action shall lie against them for such 
21expulsion. Expulsion shall
take place only after the parents 
22have been requested to appear at a
meeting of the board, or 
23with a hearing officer appointed by it, to
discuss their 
24child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered
or 
 
 
SB1957- 59 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

19 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the 
20superintendent of
the district or the principal, assistant 
21principal, or dean of students
of any school to suspend pupils 
22guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, or
to suspend 
23pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the 
24school bus
from riding the school bus, pursuant to subsections 
25(b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action
shall lie 
26against them for such suspension. The board may by policy

 
 
SB1957- 60 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1authorize the superintendent of the district or the principal, 
2assistant
principal, or dean of students of any
school to 
3suspend pupils guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed

410 school days. If a pupil is suspended due to gross 
5disobedience or misconduct
on a school bus, the board may 
6suspend the pupil in excess of 10
school
days for safety 
7reasons. 
8 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the

9parents or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of 
10the
reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to 
11a review. The school board must be given a summary of the 
12notice, including the reason for the suspension and the 
13suspension length. Upon request of the
parents or guardian, 
14the school board or a hearing officer appointed by
it shall 
15review such action of the superintendent or principal, 
16assistant
principal, or dean of students. At such
review, the 
17parents or guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the

18suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing 
19officer
is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board 
20a written summary
of the evidence heard at the meeting. After 
21its hearing or upon receipt
of the written report of its 
22hearing officer, the board may take such
action as it finds 
23appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this 
24subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension 
25decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or 
26misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The 
 
 
SB1957- 61 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

9 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions 
10and consequences available to school officials, school 
11exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, 
12are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number 
13and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest 
14extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them 
15only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that 
16students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is 
17recommended that school officials consider forms of 
18non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school 
19suspensions or expulsions.
20 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this 
21Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies 
22by which school administrators are required to suspend or 
23expel students for particular behaviors.
24 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be 
25used only if the student's continuing presence in school would 
26pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other 
 
 
SB1957- 62 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

15the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or

16interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of 
17this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other 
18students, staff, or members of the school community" and 
19"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the 
20operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case 
21basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection 
22(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and 
23available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been 
24exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials 
25shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats, 
26address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student 
 
 
SB1957- 63 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the 
2suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this 
3Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) 
4of this Section, it shall be documented whether other 
5interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that 
6there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
7 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer 
8than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available 
9support services during the period of their suspension. For 
10purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available 
11support services" shall be determined by school authorities. 
12Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of 
13this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are 
14to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no 
15such appropriate and available services.
16 A school district may refer students who are expelled to 
17appropriate and available support services.
18 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the 
19re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school, 
20expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
21 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which 
22suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the 
23school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school, 
24shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent 
25academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's 
26parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil 
 
 
SB1957- 64 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

7 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to 
8provide ongoing professional development to teachers, 
9administrators, school board members, school resource 
10officers, and staff on the adverse consequences of school 
11exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom 
12management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, the 
13appropriate and available supportive services for the 
14promotion of student attendance and engagement, and 
15developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote 
16positive and healthy school climates. 
17 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of 
18time not to
exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a 
19case-by-case basis.
A student who
is determined to have 
20brought one of the following objects to school, any 
21school-sponsored activity
or event, or any activity or event 
22that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be 
23expelled for a period of not less than
one year:
24  (1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section, 
25 "firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined 
26 by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 
 
 
SB1957- 65 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 firearm as defined in Section 2-7.5 1.1 of the Firearm 
2 Owners Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in 
3 Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The expulsion 
4 period under this subdivision (1) may be modified by the 
5 superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may 
6 be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
7  (2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon 
8 regardless of its composition, a billy club, or any other 
9 object if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily 
10 harm, including "look alikes" of any firearm as defined in 
11 subdivision (1) of this subsection (d). The expulsion 
12 requirement under this subdivision (2) may be modified by 
13 the superintendent, and the superintendent's determination 
14 may be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis. 
15Expulsion
or suspension
shall be construed in a
manner 
16consistent with the federal Individuals with Disabilities 
17Education
Act. A student who is subject to suspension or 
18expulsion as provided in this
Section may be eligible for a 
19transfer to an alternative school program in
accordance with 
20Article 13A of the School Code.

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

23principal, or dean of students of any
school to suspend a 
24student for a period not to exceed
10 school days or may expel 
25a student for a definite period of time not to
exceed 2 
26calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i) 
 
 
SB1957- 66 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

12 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school 
13authorities may
inspect and search places and areas such as 
14lockers, desks, parking lots, and
other school property and 
15equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well
as 
16personal effects left in those places and areas by students, 
17without notice
to or the consent of the student, and without a 
18search warrant. As a matter of
public policy, the General 
19Assembly finds that students have no reasonable
expectation of 
20privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects

21left in these places and areas. School authorities may request 
22the assistance
of law enforcement officials for the purpose of 
23conducting inspections and
searches of lockers, desks, parking 
24lots, and other school property and
equipment owned or 
25controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or
other

26illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including 
 
 
SB1957- 67 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b

2If a search conducted in accordance
with this Section produces 
3evidence that the student has violated or is
violating either 
4the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,

5such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and 
6disciplinary action may
be taken. School authorities may also 
7turn over such evidence to law
enforcement authorities.

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

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

21students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic 
22difficulties.
23 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a 
24disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude 
25requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen, 
26or damaged property.

SB1957- 70 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1pupils guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on the 
2school bus
from riding the school bus, pursuant to subsections 
3(b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action
shall lie 
4against them for such suspension. The board may by policy

5authorize the superintendent of the district or the principal, 
6assistant
principal, or dean of students of any
school to 
7suspend pupils guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed

810 school days. If a pupil is suspended due to gross 
9disobedience or misconduct
on a school bus, the board may 
10suspend the pupil in excess of 10
school
days for safety 
11reasons. 
12 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the

13parents or guardians of a pupil along with a full statement of 
14the
reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to 
15a review. The school board must be given a summary of the 
16notice, including the reason for the suspension and the 
17suspension length. Upon request of the
parents or guardians, 
18the school board or a hearing officer appointed by
it shall 
19review such action of the superintendent or principal, 
20assistant
principal, or dean of students. At such
review, the 
21parents or guardians of the pupil may appear and discuss the

22suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing 
23officer
is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board 
24a written summary
of the evidence heard at the meeting. After 
25its hearing or upon receipt
of the written report of its 
26hearing officer, the board may take such
action as it finds 
 
 
SB1957- 71 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

13 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions 
14and consequences available to school officials, school 
15exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, 
16are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number 
17and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest 
18extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them 
19only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that 
20students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is 
21recommended that school officials consider forms of 
22non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school 
23suspensions or expulsions.
24 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this 
25Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies 
26by which school administrators are required to suspend or 
 
 
SB1957- 72 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

19the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or

20interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of 
21this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other 
22students, staff, or members of the school community" and 
23"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the 
24operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case 
25basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection 
26(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and 
 
 
SB1957- 73 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been 
2exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials 
3shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats, 
4address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student 
5exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the 
6suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this 
7Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) 
8of this Section, it shall be documented whether other 
9interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that 
10there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
11 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer 
12than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available 
13support services during the period of their suspension. For 
14purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available 
15support services" shall be determined by school authorities. 
16Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of 
17this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are 
18to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no 
19such appropriate and available services.
20 A school district may refer students who are expelled to 
21appropriate and available support services.
22 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the 
23re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school, 
24expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
25 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which 
26suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the 
 
 
SB1957- 74 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

13parent's or guardian's choice, or of the student's choice if 
14emancipated, must be permitted to represent
the student 
15throughout the proceedings and to address the school board or 
16its appointed hearing officer. With the
approval of the 
17student's parent or guardian, or of the student if 
18emancipated, a support person
must be permitted to accompany 
19the student to any disciplinary
hearings or proceedings. The 
20representative or support person must comply with any rules of 
21the school district's hearing process. If the representative 
22or support person violates the rules or engages in behavior or 
23advocacy that harasses, abuses, or intimidates either party, a 
24witness, or anyone else in attendance at the hearing, the 
25representative or support person may be prohibited from 
26further participation in the hearing or proceeding. A 
 
 
SB1957- 75 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

2promotion of student attendance and engagement, and 
3developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote 
4positive and healthy school climates. 
5 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of 
6time not to
exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a 
7case-by-case basis.
A student who
is determined to have 
8brought one of the following objects to school, any 
9school-sponsored activity
or event, or any activity or event

13a student for a definite period of time not to
exceed 2 
14calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i) 
15that student has been determined to have made an explicit 
16threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a 
17student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet 
18website through which the threat was made is a site that was 
19accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or 
20was available to third parties who worked or studied within 
21the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii) 
22the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to 
23the safety and security of the threatened individual because 
24of his or her duties or employment status or status as a 
25student inside the school.

26 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school

3equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well
as 
4personal effects left in those places and areas by students, 
5without notice
to or the consent of the student, and without a 
6search warrant. As a matter of
public policy, the General 
7Assembly finds that students have no reasonable
expectation of 
8privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects

9left in these places and areas. School authorities may request 
10the assistance
of law enforcement officials for the purpose of 
11conducting inspections and
searches of lockers, desks, parking 
12lots, and other school property and
equipment owned or 
13controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or
other

14illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including

with this Section produces 
17evidence that the student has violated or is
violating either 
18the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,

19such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and 
20disciplinary action may
be taken. School authorities may also 
21turn over such evidence to law
enforcement authorities.

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

25 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if

is suspended or expelled for any reason from any 
 
 
SB1957- 79 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

13 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage 
14students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic 
15difficulties.
16 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a 
17disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude 
18requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen, 
19or damaged property.

21apply to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools, 
22special charter districts, and school districts organized 
23under Article 34 of this Code. 
24 (k) The expulsion of children enrolled in programs funded 
25under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements 
26under paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of Section 2-3.71 of

1this Code.
2 (l) Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, an in-school 
3suspension program provided by a school district for any 
4students in kindergarten through grade 12 may focus on 
5promoting non-violent conflict resolution and positive 
6interaction with other students and school personnel. A school 
7district may employ a school social worker or a licensed

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

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

7 Section 50. The Mental Health and Developmental 
8Disabilities Code is amended by changing Sections 1-106, 
91-116, 6-103.1, 6-103.2, and 6-103.3 as follows:



10 (405 ILCS 5/1-106) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-106)



11 Sec. 1-106. 
"Developmental disability" means a severe, 
12chronic disability, other than mental illness, found to be 
13closely related to an intellectual disability because this 
14condition results in impairment of general intellectual 
15functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of persons 
16with ID, and requires services similar to those required for a 
17person with an intellectual disability. In addition, a 
18developmental disability: (1) is manifested before the 
19individual reaches 22 years of age; (2) is likely to continue 
20indefinitely; (3) results in substantial functional 
21limitations in three or more of the following areas of major 
22life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language, 
23learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent 
24living, or economic self-sufficiency; and (4) reflects the 
 
 
SB1957- 101 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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




10 (405 ILCS 5/1-116) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1-116)



11 Sec. 1-116. Intellectual disability. "Intellectual 
12disability" means a disorder with onset during the 
13developmental period (before the individual reaches age 22), 
14that includes both intellectual and adaptive deficits in 
15conceptual, social and practical domains. The following 3 
16criteria must be met: (1) deficits in intellectual functions 
17such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract 
18thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from 
19experience confirmed by both clinical assessment and 
20individualized, standardized intelligence testing (generally 
21indicated with an IQ score of about 70 or below), (2) deficits 
22in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet 
23developmental and sociocultural standards for personal 
24independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing 
25support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or 
 
 
SB1957- 102 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

10 (405 ILCS 5/6-103.1)
11 Sec. 6-103.1. Adjudication as a person with a mental 
12disability. When a person has been adjudicated as a person 
13with a mental disability as defined in Section 1.1 of the 
14Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, including, but not 
15limited to, an adjudication as a person with a disability as 
16defined in Section 11a-2 of the Probate Act of 1975, the court

22the order, the Illinois State Police shall provide 
23notification to the National Instant Criminal Background Check

5commit any criminal offense, ensure the defendant complies 
6with all conditions of pretrial release,
prevent the 
7defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly

15misdemeanor crimes
are crimes of domestic violence for 
16purposes of federal
law.
17 (a) When a defendant has been charged with a violation of 
18Section 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, or 12-3.5 of the 
19Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, the State 
20may, at arraignment or no later than 45 days after 
21arraignment, for the purpose of notification to the Illinois 
22State Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office, serve 
23on the defendant and file with the court a notice alleging that 
24conviction of the offense would subject the defendant to the 
25prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) because of the 
 
 
SB1957- 300 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1relationship between the defendant and the alleged victim and 
2the nature of the alleged offense.
3 (b) The notice shall include the name of the person 
4alleged to be the victim of the crime and shall specify the 
5nature of the alleged relationship as set forth in 18 U.S.C. 
6921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also specify the element of the 
7charged offense which requires the use or attempted use of 
8physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, as 
9set forth 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(33)(A)(ii). It shall also include 
10notice that the defendant is entitled to a hearing on the 
11allegation contained in the notice and that if the allegation 
12is sustained, that determination and conviction shall be

14Identification Card Office.
15 (c) After having been notified as provided in subsection 
16(b) of this Section, the defendant may stipulate or admit, 
17orally on the record or in writing, that conviction of the 
18offense would subject the defendant to the prohibitions of 18

20922(g)(9) shall be deemed established for purposes of Section

22U.S.C. 922(g)(9) as alleged in the notice served by the State, 
23or stands mute with respect to that allegation, then the State 
24shall bear the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 
25the offense is one to which the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C.

6conclusion of the hearing, or upon a stipulation or admission, 
7as applicable, the court shall make a specific written 
8determination with respect to the allegation.

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

5 (a) (Blank).

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

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

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

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

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

 
 
SB1957- 303 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

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

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

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

26   The balance of hardships is presumed to favor 
 
 
SB1957- 304 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

21   (A) If a domestic violence order of protection 
22 grants petitioner exclusive possession
of the 
23 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the 
24 residence,
or orders respondent to stay away from 
25 petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court 
26 may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove 
 
 
SB1957- 305 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

7   (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend 
8 the same public, private, or non-public elementary, 
9 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a 
10 domestic violence order of protection and providing 
11 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any 
12 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to 
13 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to 
14 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State 
15 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent 
16 to another school, a change of placement or a change of 
17 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, 
18 and educational disruption that would be caused by a 
19 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any 
20 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order 
21 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or 
22 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended 
23 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a 
24 change of placement or change of program, as 
25 determined by the school district or private or 
26 non-public school, or place restrictions on the 
 
 
SB1957- 306 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 respondent's movements within the school attended by 
2 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of 
3 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a 
4 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of 
5 the respondent is not available. The respondent also 
6 bears the burden of production with respect to the 
7 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that 
8 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to 
9 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or 
10 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent 
11 solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
12 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. If the 
26 court order results in a transfer of the minor 
 
 
SB1957- 307 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 respondent to another attendance center, a change in 
2 the respondent's placement, or a change of the 
3 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal 
4 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. If 
11 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to 
12 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, 
19 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or
substance 
20 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor, 
21 agency
providing services to elders, program designed for 
22 domestic violence
abusers, or any other guidance service 
23 the court deems appropriate. The court may order the 
24 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report 
25 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol 
26 approved partner abuse intervention program for an 
 
 
SB1957- 308 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment. 

2  (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. 
3 In order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, 
4 or 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 the respondent is charged with abuse
(as defined in 
13 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall 
14 be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to 
15 respondent would not
be in the minor child's best 
16 interest.

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

24  If the respondent
is charged with abuse (as defined in 
25 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a
minor child, there shall 
26 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding
temporary 
 
 
SB1957- 309 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent 
2 would not be in the
child's best interest.

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

21 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting 
22 time, the order
shall specify dates and times for the 
23 parenting time to take place or other
specific parameters 
24 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting 
25 time
shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting 
26 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor 
 
 
SB1957- 310 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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 
5 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect 
6 any member of petitioner's family or
household from future 
7 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to

8 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for 
9 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent
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 
21 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or
to 
22 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the 
23 child or 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 
 
 
SB1957- 311 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:

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

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

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

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

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

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

25   (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the 
26 property jointly,
and the balance of hardships favors 
 
 
SB1957- 312 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 granting this remedy.

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

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

12  (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the 
13 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, 
14 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner 
15 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the 
16 residence or household of either the petitioner or the 
17 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the 
18 animal and forbid the respondent from taking, 
19 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or 
20 otherwise disposing of the animal.

21  (12) Order for payment of support. Order
respondent to 
22 pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in 
23 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been 
24 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has 
25 a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance 
26 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage 
 
 
SB1957- 313 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

20   (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is 
21 entitled to seek
maintenance, child support, or 
22 property distribution from the other party
under the 
23 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as 
24 now or
hereafter amended, the court may order 
25 respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to 
26 the extent that such reimbursement would be 
 
 
SB1957- 314 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by 
2 subsection (a)(3) of
Section 501 of that Act.

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

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

9 investigator fees, and travel costs.

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

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

15  (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession. 
16   (A) A person who is subject to an existing 
17 domestic violence order of protection issued under 
18 this Code may not lawfully possess firearms, stun 
19 guns, or tasers weapons or a Firearm Owner's 
20 Identification Card under Section 8.2 of the Firearm 
21 Owners Identification Card Act.
22   (B) Any firearms in the
possession of the 
23 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of 
24 this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court 
25 to be turned
over to a person who is not prohibited

26 under State or federal law from possessing firearms 
 
 
SB1957- 315 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 with a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card for 
2 safekeeping. The court shall issue an order that the 
3 respondent comply with Section 9.5 of the Firearm 
4 Owners Identification Card Act.

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

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

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

14   (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, 
15 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
16 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent 
17 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to 
18 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to 
19 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law 
20 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law 
21 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the 
22 firearms for training purposes, or for any other 
23 application as deemed appropriate by the local law 
24 enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned 
25 over to a third party who is lawfully eligible to 
26 possess firearms, and who does not reside with 
 
 
SB1957- 316 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 respondent. 
2  (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic 
3 violence order of protection
prohibits respondent from 
4 having contact with the minor child,
or if petitioner's 
5 address is omitted under subsection (b) of
Section 112A-5 
6 of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful 
7 removal or
concealment of a minor child, the order shall 
8 deny respondent access to, and
prohibit respondent from 
9 inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to
inspect or obtain, 
10 school or any other records of the minor child
who is in 
11 the care of petitioner.

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

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

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

26  (18) Telephone services.
 
 
SB1957- 317 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1   (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph 
2 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon 
3 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone 
4 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the 
5 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers 
6 indicated by the petitioner and the financial 
7 responsibility associated with the number or numbers, 
8 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In 
9 this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone 
10 service provider" means a provider of commercial 
11 mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The 
12 petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone 
13 number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or 
14 her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve 
15 the order on the wireless telephone service provider's 
16 agent for service of process provided to the Illinois 
17 Commerce Commission. The order shall contain all of 
18 the following: 
19    (i) The name and billing telephone number of 
20 the account holder including the name of the 
21 wireless telephone service provider that serves 
22 the account.
23    (ii) Each telephone number that will be 
24 transferred.
25    (iii) A statement that the provider transfers 
26 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for 
 
 
SB1957- 318 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 and right to the use of any telephone number 
2 transferred under this paragraph.
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.
 
 
SB1957- 319 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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 
14 an 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 
21 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with 
22 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit 
23 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information 
24 is provided and displayed. 
25 (c) Relevant factors; findings.

26  (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy, 
 
 
SB1957- 320 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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 
13 abused 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 
24 or
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, 
 
 
SB1957- 321 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 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) 
9 of 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 
19 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and

20 child 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, 
25 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, 
26 administrative, or other act of another state or 
 
 
SB1957- 322 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

15 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds 
16that the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of 
17a remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of

18subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such 
19balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall 
20include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will

21result in hardship to respondent that would substantially 
22outweigh the hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. 
23The findings shall be an official record or in
writing.

24 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be 
25based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:

26  (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless 
 
 
SB1957- 323 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of 
2 force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;

3  (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;

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

8  (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense 
9 of another;

10  (5) petitioner left the residence or household to 
11 avoid further abuse
by respondent;

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

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

25 defendant's cooperation or response to rehabilitation.

13victim of stalking, a stalking no contact order shall issue; 
14provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the 
15requirements of Section 95 on emergency orders or Section 100 
16on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a 
17stalking no contact order because the petitioner or the 
18respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or 
19not to issue a stalking no contact order, may not require 
20physical injury on the person of the petitioner. Modification 
21and extension of prior stalking no contact orders shall be in 
22accordance with this Act.
23 (b) A stalking no contact order shall order one or more of 
24the following:
 
 
SB1957- 411 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1  (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit 
2 or committing stalking;
3  (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with 
4 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the 
5 court;
6  (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming 
7 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance 
8 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school, 
9 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place 
10 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order 
11 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own 
12 residence, school, or place of employment only if the 
13 respondent has been provided actual notice of the 
14 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
15  (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm 
16 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying 
17 firearms; and
18  (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines 
19 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party 
20 specifically named by the court.
21 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the 
22same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or 
23high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact 
24order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the 
25act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to 
26the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the 
 
 
SB1957- 412 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the 
2availability of a transfer of the respondent to another 
3school, a change of placement or a change of program of the

7the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend 
8the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high 
9school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent 
10accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the

13attended by the petitioner.
The respondent bears the burden of 
14proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, 
15change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is 
16not available. The respondent also bears the burden of 
17production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and 
18educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of 
19the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of 
20placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the 
21respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
22agree with the school district's or private or non-public 
23school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program 
24or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to 
25consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to 
26effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of

5private or non-public school, the school district or private 
6or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine 
7the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.

8In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor 
9respondent to another attendance center, a change in the 
10respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's 
11program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the 
12respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs 
13associated with the transfer or change. 
14 (b-6) 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. In the event the court 
18orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the 
19parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are

21the change of school by the respondent. 
22 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or

24or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or 
25non-public school has been allowed to intervene.

3this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of 
4this Act if the
parents, guardian, or legal custodian 
5directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such 
6conduct. 
7 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys 
8fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.

3 Sec. 210. Process. 

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

6proceeding, is a distinct cause of action and requires that a 
7separate
summons be issued and served, except that in pending 
8cases the following
methods may be used:

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

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

18notice shall include the petition for order
of protection and 
19supporting affidavits, if any, and any emergency order of

20protection that has been issued. The enforcement of an order 
21of protection
under Section 223 shall not be affected by the 
22lack of service, delivery,
or notice, provided the 
23requirements of subsection (d) of that Section are
otherwise 
24met.

25 (b) Blank.

 
 
SB1957- 423 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 (c) Expedited service. The summons shall be served by the 
2sheriff or
other law enforcement officer at the earliest time 
3and shall take
precedence over other summonses except those of 
4a similar emergency nature.
Special process servers may be 
5appointed at any time, and their
designation shall not affect 
6the responsibilities and authority of the
sheriff or other 
7official process servers. In counties with a population over 
83,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if 
9the order of protection grants the surrender of a child, the 
10surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card, 
11or the exclusive possession of a shared residence.

12 (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling, 
13payment of
support, payment of shelter services,
and payment 
14of losses remedies provided by paragraphs 4,
12, 13, and 16 of

11, 14, 15, and 17 of subsection
(b) of Section 
22214, but only if: (i) petitioner has made all reasonable

23efforts to accomplish actual service of process personally 
24upon respondent,
but respondent cannot be found to effect such 
25service and (ii) petitioner
files an affidavit or presents 
26sworn testimony
as to those efforts.

2by default as follows:

3  (1) For any of the remedies sought in the petition, if

respondent then fails to appear 
6 as directed or fails to appear on any subsequent

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

20 (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)

21 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies. 

22 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner 
23has been
abused by a family or household member or that 
24petitioner is a high-risk
adult who has been abused, 
25neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act,
an order of 
 
 
SB1957- 425 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation

2shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the 
3requirements of
one of the following Sections, as appropriate: 
4Section 217 on emergency
orders, Section 218 on interim 
5orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders.
Petitioner shall not 
6be denied an order of protection because petitioner or

7respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or 
8not to issue
an order of protection, shall not require 
9physical manifestations of abuse
on the person of the victim. 
10Modification and extension of prior
orders of protection shall 
11be in accordance with this Act.

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

17remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to 
18other civil or
criminal remedies available to petitioner.

19  (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. 
20 Prohibit
respondent's harassment, interference with 
21 personal liberty, intimidation
of a dependent, physical 
22 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or
exploitation, as 
23 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as 
24 defined
in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if 
25 such abuse, neglect,
exploitation, or stalking has 
26 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if
not 
 
 
SB1957- 426 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 prohibited.

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

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

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

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

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

25 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from 
26 entry of this remedy with
(ii) the hardships to 
 
 
SB1957- 427 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in

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

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

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

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

21 household.

22  (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order 
23 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other 
24 person
protected by the order of protection, or prohibit 
25 respondent from entering
or remaining present at 
26 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other

 
 
SB1957- 428 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

5 right to enter the premises.

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

10 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent 
11 access to the
residence to remove items of clothing 
12 and personal adornment
used exclusively by respondent, 
13 medications, and other items as the court
directs. The 
14 right to access shall be exercised on only one 
15 occasion as the
court directs and in the presence of an 
16 agreed-upon adult third party or law
enforcement 
17 officer.

18   (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend 
19 the same public, private, or non-public elementary, 
20 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an 
21 order of protection and providing relief shall 
22 consider the severity of the act, any continuing 
23 physical danger or emotional distress to the 
24 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the 
25 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, 
26 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to 
 
 
SB1957- 429 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 another school, a change of placement or a change of 
2 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, 
3 and educational disruption that would be caused by a 
4 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any 
5 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order 
6 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or 
7 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended 
8 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a 
9 change of placement or change of program, as 
10 determined by the school district or private or 
11 non-public school, or place restrictions on the 
12 respondent's movements within the school attended by 
13 the petitioner.
The respondent bears the burden of 
14 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a 
15 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of 
16 the respondent is not available. The respondent also 
17 bears the burden of production with respect to the 
18 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that 
19 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to 
20 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or 
21 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent 
22 solely on the ground that the respondent does not 
23 agree with the school district's or private or 
24 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or 
25 change of program or solely on the ground that the 
26 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise 
 
 
SB1957- 430 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 does not take an action required to effectuate a 
2 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.

3 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the 
4 public, private, or non-public school attended by the 
5 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to 
6 another attendance center within the respondent's 
7 school district or private or non-public school, the 
8 school district or private or non-public school shall 
9 have sole discretion to determine the attendance 
10 center to which the respondent is transferred.
In the 
11 event the court order results in a transfer of the 
12 minor respondent to another attendance center, a 
13 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of 
14 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or 
15 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for 
16 transportation and other costs associated with the 
17 transfer or change. 
18   (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or 
19 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain 
20 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to 
21 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In 
22 the event the court orders a transfer of the 
23 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian, 
24 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible 
25 for transportation and other costs associated with the 
26 change of school by the respondent. 
 
 
SB1957- 431 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

23  If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has 
24 committed abuse
(as defined in Section 103) of a minor 
25 child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that 
26 awarding physical care to respondent would not
be in the 
 
 
SB1957- 432 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 minor child's best interest.

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

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

15  (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if 
16 any, of respondent in
any case in which the court awards 
17 physical care or allocates temporary significant 
18 decision-making responsibility of
a minor child to 
19 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's 
20 parenting time
with a minor child if the court finds that 
21 respondent has done or is
likely to do any of the 
22 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during 
23 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an 
24 opportunity to abuse or harass
petitioner or petitioner's 
25 family or household members; (iii) improperly
conceal or 
26 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner 
 
 
SB1957- 433 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

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

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

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

24  (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit 
25 respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or 
26 concealing the child within the State.


 
 
SB1957- 434 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

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

17  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
18 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
19 award 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 
 
 
SB1957- 435 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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, 
4 if:

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

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

9  If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the 
10 property is that it is
marital property, the court may 
11 grant 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 
 
 
SB1957- 436 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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 
8 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount 
9 of
support, payment through the clerk and withholding of 
10 income to secure
payment. An order for child support may 
11 be 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 the petitioner's 
17 significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise 
18 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, neglect, or exploitation.
Such losses shall 
22 include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost

23 earnings or other support, repair or replacement of 
24 property damaged or taken,
reasonable attorney's fees, 
25 court costs and moving or other travel expenses,
including 
26 additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and 
 
 
SB1957- 437 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 restaurant
meals.

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

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

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

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

23  (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.

24   (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of 
25 protection was issued from possessing any firearms 
26 during the duration of the order if the order:
 
 
SB1957- 438 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

18 possession of the respondent, except as provided in 
19 subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be 
20 turned
over to the local law enforcement agency. The 
21 local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail 
22 the card to the Illinois State Police Firearm Owner's 
23 Identification Card Office
for safekeeping. The court 
24 shall
issue a warrant for seizure of any firearm in the 
25 possession of the respondent, to be kept by the local 
26 law enforcement agency for safekeeping, except as 
 
 
SB1957- 439 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

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

19   (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, 
20 if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card 
21 cannot be returned to respondent because respondent 
22 cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to 
23 retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to 
24 possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law 
25 enforcement agency, the court may order the local law 
26 enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the 
 
 
SB1957- 440 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

22  (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive 
23 relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse 
24 of a family or household member
or further abuse, neglect, 
25 or exploitation of a high-risk adult with
disabilities or 
26 to effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by 
 
 
SB1957- 441 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

5 necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.

6  (18) Telephone services.
7   (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph 
8 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon 
9 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone 
10 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the 
11 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers 
12 indicated by the petitioner and the financial 
13 responsibility associated with the number or numbers, 
14 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. 
15 For purposes of this paragraph (18), the term 
16 "wireless telephone service provider" means a provider 
17 of commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 
18 332. The petitioner may request the transfer of each 
19 telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child 
20 in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court 
21 shall serve the order on the wireless telephone 
22 service provider's agent for service of process 
23 provided to the Illinois Commerce Commission. The 
24 order shall contain all of the following:
25    (i) The name and billing telephone number of 
26 the account holder including the name of the 
 
 
SB1957- 442 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 wireless telephone service provider that serves 
2 the account.
3    (ii) Each telephone number that will be 
4 transferred.
5    (iii) A statement that the provider transfers 
6 to the petitioner all financial responsibility for 
7 and right to the use of any telephone number 
8 transferred under this paragraph.
9   (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall 
10 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer 
11 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or 
12 numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this 
13 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 
14 hours after it receives the order, that one of the 
15 following applies:
16    (i) The account holder named in the order has 
17 terminated the account.
18    (ii) A difference in network technology would 
19 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on 
20 a network if the transfer occurs.
21    (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or 
22 other limitation on network or service provision 
23 to the petitioner.
24    (iv) Another technological or operational 
25 issue would prevent or impair the use of the 
26 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
 
 
SB1957- 443 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

13   (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a 
14 wireless telephone service provider is immune from 
15 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance 
16 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
17   (F) All wireless service providers that provide 
18 services to residential customers shall provide to the 
19 Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of 
20 an agent for service of orders entered under this 
21 paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered 
22 agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce 
23 Commission within 30 days of such change. 
24   (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall 
25 maintain the list of registered agents for service for 
26 each wireless telephone service provider on the 
 
 
SB1957- 444 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

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

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

24  (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the 
25 parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the 
26 court shall consider relevant
factors, including but not 
 
 
SB1957- 445 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 limited to the following:

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

5 or dependent adult in the party's care;

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

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

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

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

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

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

23  (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency 
24 order of protection,
the court, as an alternative to or as 
25 a supplement to making the findings
described in 
26 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this 
 
 
SB1957- 446 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 subsection, may
use the following procedure:

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

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

15 child relationship has been established under the Illinois 
16 Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, 
17 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital 
18 Records Act, the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate 
19 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform
Reciprocal Enforcement of 
20 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support
Act, 
21 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, 
22 administrative, or
other act of another state or 
23 territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any
foreign 
24 nation establishing the father and child relationship, any 
25 other
proceeding substantially in conformity with the 
26 Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity 
 
 
SB1957- 447 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


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

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

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

17result in hardship to respondent that would substantially 
18outweigh the hardship
to petitioner from denial of the remedy. 
19The findings shall be an official
record or in writing.

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

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

25  (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;

26  (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of 
 
 
SB1957- 448 -LRB103 27164 RLC 53534 b


1 another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such 
2 force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code 
3 of 2012; 

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

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

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

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