Illinois SB3935 expands eligibility for protective orders in domestic violence cases.
Illinois SB3935 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow protective orders for victims of domestic violence, including those who have been abused by family or household members. The bill ensures that petitions for protective orders cannot be denied based on the petitioner or respondent being a minor or incarcerated. It also allows petitions to be filed by crime victims, foster parents, guardians, and adoptive parents. The court must consider prima facie evidence of domestic violence, sexual offenses, or stalking when issuing protective orders.
