Illinois HB4741 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure that a petition for a protective order is not denied solely because the petitioner or respondent is a minor or incarcerated. The court may not require physical injury to issue a protective order. The bill also expands the definition of "family or household member" to include foster parents, legally appointed guardians, adoptive parents, and prospective adoptive parents. This Act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
