7373 3 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
7474 4 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
7575 5 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
7676 6 daycare, or place of employment, or any specified place
7777 7 frequented by the petitioner; however, the court may order
7878 8 the respondent to stay away from the respondent's own
7979 9 residence, school, or place of employment only if the
8080 10 respondent has been provided actual notice of the
8181 11 opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
8282 12 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
8383 13 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying

8686 16 to be necessary to protect the petitioner or third party
8787 17 specifically named by the court.
8888 18 (b-5) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
8989 19 same public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or
9090 20 high school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact
9191 21 order and providing relief shall consider the severity of the
9292 22 act, any continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
9393 23 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
9494 24 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the

107107 1 respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
108108 2 disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
109109 3 respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
110110 4 the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
111111 5 the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
112112 6 school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
113113 7 accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
114114 8 school district or private or non-public school, or place
115115 9 restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
116116 10 attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
117117 11 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
118118 12 change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
119119 13 not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
120120 14 production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
121121 15 educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
122122 16 the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
123123 17 placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
124124 18 respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
125125 19 agree with the school district's or private or non-public
126126 20 school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
127127 21 or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
128128 22 consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
129129 23 effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
130130 24 program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
131131 25 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
132132 26 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another

144144 2 private or non-public school, the school district or private
145145 3 or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
146146 4 the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
147147 5 In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
148148 6 respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
149149 7 respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
150150 8 program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
151151 9 respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
152152 10 associated with the transfer or change.
153153 11 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
154154 12 custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
155155 13 refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
156156 14 respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
157157 15 orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
158158 16 parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
159159 17 responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
160160 18 the change of school by the respondent.
161161 19 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or
162162 20 private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
163163 21 or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
164164 22 non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
165165 23 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
166166 24 custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
167167 25 for a violation of any provision of any order entered under

186186 8 (e) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
187187 9 respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
188188 10 Card, or possessing or buying firearms; the court shall
189189 11 confiscate the respondent's Firearm Owner's Identification
190190 12 Card and immediately return the card to the Illinois State
191191 13 Police Firearm Owner's Identification Card Office.
