68	68	1 an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
69	69	2 this Section and one of the following Sections, as
70	70	3 appropriate: Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on
71	71	4 interim orders, and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
72	72	5 remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to
73	73	6 other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
74	74	7 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
75	75	8 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
76	76	9 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
77	77	10 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
78	78	11 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
79	79	12 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
80	80	13 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
81	81	14 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
82	82	15 prohibited.
83	83	16 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
84	84	17 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
85	85	18 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
86	86	19 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
87	87	20 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
88	88	21 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
89	89	22 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
90	90	23 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
91	91	24 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
92	92	25 Marriage Act.

103	103	HB3967 - 3 - LRB103 29519 LNS 55914 b
104	104	1 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
105	105	2 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
106	106	3 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
107	107	4 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
108	108	5 person or entity other than the opposing party that
109	109	6 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
110	110	7 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
111	111	8 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
112	112	9 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
113	113	10 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
114	114	11 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
115	115	12 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
116	116	13 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
117	117	14 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
118	118	15 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
119	119	16 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
120	120	17 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
121	121	18 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
122	122	19 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
123	123	20 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
124	124	21 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
125	125	22 the accessibility of the residence or household.
126	126	23 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
127	127	24 have a right to occupancy.
128	128	25 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
129	129	26 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is

139	139	HB3967 - 4 - LRB103 29519 LNS 55914 b
140	140	1 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
141	141	2 that the hardships to respondent substantially
142	142	3 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
143	143	4 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
144	144	5 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
145	145	6 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
146	146	7 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
147	147	8 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
148	148	9 household.
149	149	10 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
150	150	11 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
151	151	12 person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
152	152	13 respondent from entering or remaining present at
153	153	14 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
154	154	15 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
155	155	16 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
156	156	17 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
157	157	18 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
158	158	19 right to enter the premises.
159	159	20 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
160	160	21 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
161	161	22 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
162	162	23 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
163	163	24 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
164	164	25 access to the residence to remove items of clothing
165	165	26 and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,

176	176	1 medications, and other items as the court directs. The
177	177	2 right to access shall be exercised on only one
178	178	3 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
179	179	4 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
180	180	5 officer.
181	181	6 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
182	182	7 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
183	183	8 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
184	184	9 order of protection and providing relief shall
185	185	10 consider the severity of the act, any continuing
186	186	11 physical danger or emotional distress to the
187	187	12 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
188	188	13 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law,
189	189	14 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to
190	190	15 another school, a change of placement or a change of
191	191	16 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
192	192	17 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
193	193	18 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
194	194	19 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
195	195	20 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
196	196	21 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
197	197	22 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
198	198	23 change of placement or change of program, as
199	199	24 determined by the school district or private or
200	200	25 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
201	201	26 respondent's movements within the school attended by

212	212	1 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
213	213	2 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
214	214	3 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
215	215	4 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
216	216	5 bears the burden of production with respect to the
217	217	6 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
218	218	7 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
219	219	8 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
220	220	9 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
221	221	10 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
222	222	11 agree with the school district's or private or
223	223	12 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
224	224	13 change of program or solely on the ground that the
225	225	14 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
226	226	15 does not take an action required to effectuate a
227	227	16 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
228	228	17 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
229	229	18 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
230	230	19 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
231	231	20 another attendance center within the respondent's
232	232	21 school district or private or non-public school, the
233	233	22 school district or private or non-public school shall
234	234	23 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
235	235	24 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
236	236	25 event the court order results in a transfer of the
237	237	26 minor respondent to another attendance center, a

249	249	2 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
250	250	3 legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
251	251	4 transportation and other costs associated with the
252	252	5 transfer or change.
253	253	6 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
254	254	7 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
255	255	8 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
256	256	9 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
257	257	10 the event the court orders a transfer of the
258	258	11 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
259	259	12 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
260	260	13 for transportation and other costs associated with the
261	261	14 change of school by the respondent.
262	262	15 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
263	263	16 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
264	264	17 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
265	265	18 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
266	266	19 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
267	267	20 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
268	268	21 domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
269	269	22 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
270	270	23 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
271	271	24 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
272	272	25 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
273	273	26 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.

284	284	1 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.
285	285	2 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
286	286	3 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
287	287	4 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
288	288	5 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
289	289	6 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
290	290	7 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
291	291	8 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
292	292	9 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
293	293	10 in loco parentis.
294	294	11 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
295	295	12 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
296	296	13 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
297	297	14 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
298	298	15 minor child's best interest.
299	299	16 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
300	300	17 significant decision-making. Award temporary
301	301	18 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
302	302	19 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
303	303	20 of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and
304	304	21 this State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and
305	305	22 Enforcement Act.
306	306	23 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
307	307	24 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
308	308	25 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that

322	322	3 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
323	323	4 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
324	324	5 physical care or allocates temporary significant
325	325	6 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
326	326	7 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
327	327	8 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
328	328	9 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the

330	330	11 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
331	331	12 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
332	332	13 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
333	333	14 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
334	334	15 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
335	335	16 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
336	336	17 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of

358	358	3 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
359	359	4 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
360	360	5 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
361	361	6 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall

719	719	4 wireless telephone service provider is immune from
720	720	5 civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
721	721	6 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
722	722	7 (F) All wireless service providers that provide

730	730	15 maintain the list of registered agents for service for
731	731	16 each wireless telephone service provider on the
732	732	17 Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
733	733	18 wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
734	734	19 Court Clerks on the manner in which this information
735	735	20 is provided and displayed.
736	736	21 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
737	737	22 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,

754	754	3 household member, including the concealment of his or
755	755	4 her location in order to evade service of process or
756	756	5 notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
757	757	6 neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member
758	758	7 of petitioner's or respondent's family or household;
759	759	8 and

763	763	12 improperly separated from the child's primary
764	764	13 caretaker.
765	765	14 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
766	766	15 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
767	767	16 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
768	768	17 limited to the following:
769	769	18 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
770	770	19 adequacy, location and other characteristics of

788	788	1 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
789	789	2 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
790	790	3 set forth the following:
791	791	4 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
792	792	5 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
793	793	6 of this subsection.
794	794	7 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
795	795	8 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
796	796	9 or continued abuse.
797	797	10 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
798	798	11 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
799	799	12 other alleged abused persons.
800	800	13 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency
801	801	14 order of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as
802	802	15 a supplement to making the findings described in
803	803	16 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
804	804	17 subsection, may use the following procedure:
805	805	18 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
806	806	19 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
807	807	20 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
808	808	21 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
809	809	22 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
810	810	23 appears from the contents of the petition and the
811	811	24 examination of petitioner that the averments are
812	812	25 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
813	813	26 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency

825	825	2 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
826	826	3 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of
827	827	4 marriage attach to a putative father until a father and
828	828	5 child relationship has been established under the Illinois
829	829	6 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
830	830	7 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
831	831	8 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate
832	832	9 Act of 1975, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of
833	833	10 Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
834	834	11 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
835	835	12 administrative, or other act of another state or
836	836	13 territory, any other Illinois statute, or by any foreign
837	837	14 nation establishing the father and child relationship, any
838	838	15 other proceeding substantially in conformity with the
839	839	16 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
840	840	17 Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where
841	841	18 both parties appeared in open court or at an
842	842	19 administrative hearing acknowledging under oath or
843	843	20 admitting by affirmation the existence of a father and
844	844	21 child relationship. Absent such an adjudication, finding,
845	845	22 or acknowledgment, no putative father shall be granted
846	846	23 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
847	847	24 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
848	848	25 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
849	849	26 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.

861	861	2 that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of
862	862	3 a remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
863	863	4 subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
864	864	5 balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
865	865	6 include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
866	866	7 result in hardship to respondent that would substantially
867	867	8 outweigh the hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy.
868	868	9 The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
869	869	10 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
870	870	11 based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
871	871	12 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
872	872	13 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
873	873	14 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
874	874	15 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
875	875	16 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
876	876	17 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
877	877	18 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
878	878	19 of 2012;
879	879	20 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
880	880	21 of another;
881	881	22 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
882	882	23 avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by
883	883	24 respondent;
884	884	25 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or
885	885	26 household to avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation

898	898	3 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
899	899	4 that same conduct would have excused such abuse, neglect,
900	900	5 or exploitation if the parties had not been family or
