HB5787

Illinois HB5787 amends protective order laws to ensure compliance by health care facilities, schools, and law enforcement.

HB5787 modifies the Illinois Code of Criminal Procedure and the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 to enhance the enforcement of protective orders. It mandates that health care facilities and practitioners deny access to protected children's records to respondents unless the protective order has expired or the respondent presents a court order vacating the protective order. Schools and educational institutions are prohibited from allowing respondents access to protected children's records or releasing information from those records.
