Establishes procedures for motions to extend plenary protective orders. Provides that the court may order the respondent to stop creating, using, and disseminating; remove; and delete the following harassing conduct: (1) any and all material or statements that constitute harassment, including, but not limited to, doxing, electronically generated or digitally altered content, and sexual private images and digitally altered sexual images; and (2) any and all electronic tracking or monitoring devices, system, or other electronic means, or tracking information. Provides that the court may order the respondent to present sufficient evidence that such compliance has occurred. Amends the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 to make conforming changes.

## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Longer protection through order extensions: benefit, medium. A court can extend an emergency or interim order when the legal requirements are met; a new violation or abuse incident is not required. A court must extend a plenary order when the legal requirements are met and relevant circumstances have not materially changed. Extensions can last more than two…
- More money relief after abuse: benefit, medium. A court can order a respondent to repay losses directly caused by abuse. These can include medical bills, lost pay or support, property repairs, legal costs, moving or travel, temporary shelter, meals, and costs to find a concealed child. A court can also order temporary support for a petitioner or…
- More control over homes and property: benefit, medium. A court can bar a respondent from entering or staying in a home while under the influence of alcohol or drugs if the respondent threatens the petitioner or the petitioner’s children. A court can give the petitioner temporary use of personal property when the petitioner owns it, or when sharing join…
- Firearm surrender under protection orders: benefit, medium. People under Illinois protection orders generally cannot possess firearms, certain firearm parts, or a firearm owner card. Firearms at hand when the order is served must be surrendered then; other covered items are due within 24 hours. When sworn evidence shows an immediate threat, possession, and…
- More paths to seek protection orders: benefit, medium. A person abused before a family or household member’s incarceration can use a filing path when that person is still incarcerated. A person may also seek protection based on prior abuse by a family or household member convicted of a covered offense. Courts cannot deny an order only because the petit…
- More protection from online harassment: benefit, medium. Repeated contact, electronic tracking, certain image sharing, impersonation content, and publishing personal information can count as presumed emotional harm. The conduct must be knowing, unreasonable, and cause distress to the petitioner and a reasonable person. A respondent can rebut the presumpt…
- Stronger child safety in protection cases: benefit, medium. When a respondent is charged with abusing a child, the court presumes that giving the respondent physical care or temporary decision-making power is not in the child’s best interest. The presumption can be rebutted. Courts must limit or deny parenting time when the respondent has harmed or may harm…
- Remote hearings for protection orders: benefit, low. A person seeking a protection order can ask for a remote hearing. The court must allow it unless there is good cause to deny the request. Petitioners, witnesses, and respondents can appear remotely or in person. Courts must post information about requesting and attending remote hearings.
- Protection for animals in the home: benefit, low. In a protection-order case, a court can give the petitioner care or control of an animal connected to either household, including an animal held by a child living there. The court can order the respondent to stay away and stop the respondent from taking, hiding, harming, or disposing of the animal.
