1 | AN ACT concerning domestic violence.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | amended by changing Section 112A-17 as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (725 ILCS 5/112A-17) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-17)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 112A-17. Emergency order of protection.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) Prerequisites. An emergency order of protection shall | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | issue if
petitioner
satisfies the requirements of this | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | subsection for one or more of the requested
remedies. For each | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | remedy requested, petitioner shall establish that:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 112A-9;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | (2) The requirements of Section 112A-14 are satisfied; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | and
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | of prior service
of process or of notice upon the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | respondent, because:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | (i) For the remedies of "prohibition of abuse" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | described in
Section 112A-14(b)(1), "stay away order | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | and additional prohibitions" described
in Section
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 112A-14(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | described in Section
112A-14(b)(8), "order to appear" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | described in Section 112A-14(b)(9), "physical
care and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | possession of the minor child" described in Section | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 112A-14(b)(5),
"protection of property" described in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Section 112A-14(b)(11), "prohibition
of entry" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | described in Section 112A-14(b)(14), "prohibition of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28 | access to
records" described in Section | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
29 | 112A-14(b)(15), and "injunctive relief"
described in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | Section 112A-14(b)(16), the harm which that remedy
is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | respondent were given
any prior notice, or greater |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | notice than was actually given, of the petitioner's
| ||||||
2 | efforts to obtain judicial relief;
| ||||||
3 | (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive | ||||||
4 | possession of residence"
described in Section | ||||||
5 | 112A-14(b)(2), the immediate danger of further
abuse | ||||||
6 | of petitioner by respondent,
if petitioner chooses or | ||||||
7 | had chosen to remain in the residence or household
| ||||||
8 | while respondent was given any prior notice or greater | ||||||
9 | notice than was
actually given of petitioner's efforts | ||||||
10 | to obtain judicial relief,
outweighs the hardships to | ||||||
11 | respondent of an emergency order
granting petitioner | ||||||
12 | exclusive possession of the residence or household.
| ||||||
13 | This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has | ||||||
14 | or could obtain temporary
shelter elsewhere while | ||||||
15 | prior notice is given to respondent, unless the
| ||||||
16 | hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home | ||||||
17 | substantially outweigh
those to petitioner.
| ||||||
18 | (iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal | ||||||
19 | property"
described in
Section 112A-14(b)(10), | ||||||
20 | improper disposition of the
personal property would be | ||||||
21 | likely
to occur if respondent were given any prior | ||||||
22 | notice, or greater notice than
was actually given, of | ||||||
23 | petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
| ||||||
24 | petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for | ||||||
25 | possession of that property.
| ||||||
26 | An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal | ||||||
27 | custody, payment
of support or monetary compensation remedies.
| ||||||
28 | (b) Appearance by respondent.
If respondent appears in | ||||||
29 | court for this hearing for an emergency order,
he or she may | ||||||
30 | elect to file a general appearance and testify. Any
resulting | ||||||
31 | order may be an emergency order, governed by this Section. | ||||||
32 | Notwithstanding the
requirements of this Section, if all | ||||||
33 | requirements of Section 112A-18 have been
met, the Court may | ||||||
34 | issue a 30-day interim order.
| ||||||
35 | (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
| ||||||
36 | (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | close of
business, the petitioner may file a petition for a | ||||||
2 | 21-day emergency order
before any available circuit judge | ||||||
3 | or associate judge who may grant relief
under this Article. | ||||||
4 | If the judge finds that there is an immediate and present
| ||||||
5 | danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner has | ||||||
6 | satisfied the
prerequisites set forth in subsection (a) of | ||||||
7 | Section 112A-17, that judge
may issue an emergency order of | ||||||
8 | protection.
| ||||||
9 | (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the circuit | ||||||
10 | court
may designate for each county in the circuit at least | ||||||
11 | one judge to be
reasonably available to
issue orally, by | ||||||
12 | telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an emergency
order | ||||||
13 | of protection at all times, whether or not the court is in | ||||||
14 | session.
| ||||||
15 | (2) Certification and transfer. Any order issued under | ||||||
16 | this Section and
any documentation in support thereof shall | ||||||
17 | be certified on the next court
day to the appropriate | ||||||
18 | court. The clerk of that court shall immediately
assign a | ||||||
19 | case number, file the petition, order and other documents | ||||||
20 | with the
court and enter the order of record and file it | ||||||
21 | with the sheriff for
service, in accordance with Section | ||||||
22 | 112A-22. Filing the petition shall
commence proceedings | ||||||
23 | for further relief, under Section 112A-2.
Failure to comply | ||||||
24 | with the requirements of this subsection shall not affect
| ||||||
25 | the validity of the order. | ||||||
26 | (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to | ||||||
27 | the contrary, a person residing within a municipality that has | ||||||
28 | a police department may make an application for a temporary | ||||||
29 | emergency order of protection from the municipal police | ||||||
30 | department for the granting of any of the remedies described in | ||||||
31 | clauses (a)(3) (i),(ii), and (iii) of this Section. The order | ||||||
32 | may be granted by the municipal police department if approved | ||||||
33 | by the ranking law enforcement officer on duty at the time of | ||||||
34 | the application; provided that the ranking law enforcement | ||||||
35 | officer on duty has probable cause to belief that the person is | ||||||
36 | in immediate danger of abuse and the harm to which the remedy |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is intended to prevent would likely occur before the time an | ||||||
2 | emergency order of protection could be issued by the court. The | ||||||
3 | order shall be effective for a period of 3 business days after | ||||||
4 | its issuance by the municipal police department. If the person | ||||||
5 | making application resides in a municipality that does not have | ||||||
6 | a police department or resides in an unincorporated area, the | ||||||
7 | person may apply for the order from the office of the county | ||||||
8 | sheriff. That order must be approved by the ranking deputy | ||||||
9 | sheriff on duty at the time of the application and meet the | ||||||
10 | same requirements specified in this subsection (d) for the | ||||||
11 | issuance of an order by a municipal police department.
| ||||||
12 | (Source: P.A. 90-392, eff. 1-1-98.)
| ||||||
13 | Section 10. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is | ||||||
14 | amended by changing Section 217 as follows:
| ||||||
15 | (750 ILCS 60/217) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-17)
| ||||||
16 | Sec. 217. Emergency order of protection.
| ||||||
17 | (a) Prerequisites. An emergency order of protection shall | ||||||
18 | issue if
petitioner satisfies the requirements of this | ||||||
19 | subsection for one or more of the
requested remedies. For each | ||||||
20 | remedy requested, petitioner shall establish
that:
| ||||||
21 | (1) The court has jurisdiction under Section 208;
| ||||||
22 | (2) The requirements of Section 214 are satisfied; and
| ||||||
23 | (3) There is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless | ||||||
24 | of prior service
of process or of notice upon the | ||||||
25 | respondent, because:
| ||||||
26 | (i) For
the remedies of "prohibition of abuse" | ||||||
27 | described in
Section 214(b)(1), "stay away order and | ||||||
28 | additional prohibitions" described in
Section
| ||||||
29 | 214(b)(3), "removal or concealment of minor child" | ||||||
30 | described in Section
214(b)(8), "order to appear" | ||||||
31 | described in Section 214(b)(9), "physical
care and | ||||||
32 | possession of the minor child" described in Section | ||||||
33 | 214(b)(5),
"protection of property" described in | ||||||
34 | Section 214(b)(11), "prohibition
of entry" described |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in Section 214(b)(14), "prohibition of access to
| ||||||
2 | records" described in Section 214(b)(15), and | ||||||
3 | "injunctive relief"
described in Section 214(b)(16), | ||||||
4 | the harm which that remedy
is intended to prevent would | ||||||
5 | be likely to occur if the respondent were given
any | ||||||
6 | prior notice, or greater notice than was actually | ||||||
7 | given, of the
petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial | ||||||
8 | relief;
| ||||||
9 | (ii) For the remedy of "grant of exclusive | ||||||
10 | possession of
residence" described in Section | ||||||
11 | 214(b)(2), the immediate danger of further
abuse of | ||||||
12 | petitioner by respondent,
if petitioner chooses or had | ||||||
13 | chosen to remain in the residence or household
while | ||||||
14 | respondent was given any prior notice or greater notice | ||||||
15 | than was
actually given of petitioner's efforts to | ||||||
16 | obtain judicial relief,
outweighs the hardships to | ||||||
17 | respondent of an emergency order
granting petitioner | ||||||
18 | exclusive possession of the residence or household.
| ||||||
19 | This remedy shall not be denied because petitioner has | ||||||
20 | or could obtain
temporary shelter elsewhere while | ||||||
21 | prior notice is given to respondent, unless
the
| ||||||
22 | hardships to respondent from exclusion from the home | ||||||
23 | substantially outweigh
those to petitioner;
| ||||||
24 | (iii) For the remedy of "possession of personal | ||||||
25 | property"
described in
Section 214(b)(10), improper | ||||||
26 | disposition of the personal
property would be likely
to | ||||||
27 | occur if respondent were given any prior notice, or | ||||||
28 | greater notice than
was actually given, of | ||||||
29 | petitioner's efforts to obtain judicial relief, or
| ||||||
30 | petitioner has an immediate and pressing need for | ||||||
31 | possession of that property.
| ||||||
32 | An emergency order may not include the counseling, legal | ||||||
33 | custody, payment
of support or monetary compensation remedies.
| ||||||
34 | (b) Appearance by respondent.
If respondent appears in | ||||||
35 | court for this hearing for an emergency order,
he or she may | ||||||
36 | elect to file a general appearance and testify.
Any resulting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | order may be an emergency order, governed
by this Section.
| ||||||
2 | Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if all | ||||||
3 | requirements of
Section 218 have been met, the court may issue | ||||||
4 | a 30-day interim order.
| ||||||
5 | (c) Emergency orders: court holidays and evenings.
| ||||||
6 | (1) Prerequisites. When the court is unavailable at the | ||||||
7 | close of
business, the petitioner may file a petition for a | ||||||
8 | 21-day emergency order
before any available circuit judge | ||||||
9 | or associate judge who may grant relief
under this Act. If | ||||||
10 | the judge finds that there is an immediate and present
| ||||||
11 | danger of abuse to petitioner and that petitioner has | ||||||
12 | satisfied the
prerequisites set forth in subsection (a) of | ||||||
13 | Section 217, that judge may
issue an emergency order of | ||||||
14 | protection.
| ||||||
15 | (1.5) Issuance of order. The chief judge of the circuit | ||||||
16 | court
may designate for each county in the circuit at least | ||||||
17 | one judge to be
reasonably available to
issue orally, by | ||||||
18 | telephone, by facsimile, or otherwise, an emergency
order | ||||||
19 | of protection at all times, whether or not the court is in | ||||||
20 | session.
| ||||||
21 | (2) Certification and transfer. Any order issued under | ||||||
22 | this Section and
any documentation in support thereof shall | ||||||
23 | be certified on the next court
day to the appropriate | ||||||
24 | court. The clerk of that court shall immediately
assign a | ||||||
25 | case number, file the petition, order and other documents | ||||||
26 | with the
court, and enter the order of record and file it | ||||||
27 | with the sheriff for
service, in accordance with Section | ||||||
28 | 222. Filing the petition
shall commence proceedings for | ||||||
29 | further relief under Section 202.
Failure to comply with | ||||||
30 | the requirements of this subsection shall not
affect the | ||||||
31 | validity of the order. | ||||||
32 | (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the | ||||||
33 | contrary, a person residing within a municipality that has a | ||||||
34 | police department may make an application for a temporary | ||||||
35 | emergency order of protection from the municipal police | ||||||
36 | department for the granting of any of the remedies described in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | clauses (a)(3) (i),(ii), and (iii) of this Section. The order | ||||||
2 | may be granted by the municipal police department if approved | ||||||
3 | by the ranking law enforcement officer on duty at the time of | ||||||
4 | the application; provided that the ranking law enforcement | ||||||
5 | officer on duty has probable cause to belief that the person is | ||||||
6 | in immediate danger of abuse and the harm to which the remedy | ||||||
7 | is intended to prevent would likely occur before the time an | ||||||
8 | emergency order of protection could be issued by the court. The | ||||||
9 | order shall be effective for a period of 3 business days after | ||||||
10 | its issuance by the municipal police department. If the person | ||||||
11 | making application resides in a municipality that does not have | ||||||
12 | a police department or resides in an unincorporated area, the | ||||||

15 | sheriff on duty at the time of application and meet the same | ||||||
16 | requirements specified in this subsection (d) for the issuance | ||||||
