from Ch. 40, par. 2313-4

Amends the Illinois State Police Law and the Illinois Police Training

Provides that, on or before January 1, 2028, every law enforcement agency
shall provide to all of its law enforcement officers instruction on the
policies and procedures for administering a lethality assessment as part
of basic training. Provides that, on or before July 1, 2028, a law
enforcement officer investigating an alleged incident of domestic violence
shall administer a lethality assessment if the allegation of domestic
violence is against an intimate partner, regardless of whether an arrest
is made. Provides that if a victim does not, or is unable to, provide
information to a law enforcement officer sufficient to allow the law
enforcement officer to administer a lethality assessment, the law
enforcement officer must document the lack of a lethality assessment in
the written police report and refer the victim to the nearest locally
certified domestic violence center. Prohibits a law enforcement officer
from including in or attaching to a probable cause statement, written
police report, or incident report the domestic violence center to which a
victim was referred. Prohibits a law enforcement officer from
administering a lethality assessment if the law enforcement officer has
not received training on administering a lethality assessment. Makes a
conforming change in the Freedom of Information Act.

9
every law enforcement agency shall provide training to aid in
10
understanding the actions of domestic violence victims and

abusers and to prevent further victimization of those who have
12
been abused, focusing specifically on looking beyond the

claim to be the victim, and long-term effects.

11

(a) Whenever a law enforcement officer has reason to

14
use all reasonable means to prevent further abuse, neglect, or
15
exploitation, including:
16

21

instead may divert the juvenile or may assist the juvenile
22

and the juvenile's family in finding alternative
23

placement. In any situation in which law enforcement does
24

not make an arrest under this Act, the officer shall
25

forward the report of the incident to the State's

belongings and possessions;
10

(4) Offering the victim of abuse, neglect, or
11

exploitation immediate and adequate information (written
12

in a language appropriate for the victim or in Braille or
13

communicated in appropriate sign language), which shall
14

include a summary of the procedures and relief available
15

to victims of abuse under subsection (c) of Section 217
16

and the officer's name and badge number;
17

(5) Providing the victim with one referral to an
18

petition for an emergency order of protection under
7

subsection (c) of Section 217. When a victim of abuse
8

chooses to leave the scene of the offense, it shall be
9

presumed that it is in the best interests of any minors or

dependents in the victim's care to remain with the victim
11

or a person designated by the victim, rather than to
12

remain with the abusing party.
13

(b) Whenever a law enforcement officer does not exercise
14
arrest powers or otherwise initiate criminal proceedings, the
15
officer shall:
16

(1) Make a police report of the investigation of any

14

Each law enforcement agency shall create a policy on

administering a lethality assessment, including how referrals
16
to domestic violence services would be handled by the law
17
enforcement agency.
18

If a victim does not, or is unable to, provide information
19
to a law enforcement officer sufficient to allow the law
20
enforcement officer to administer a lethality assessment, the
21
law enforcement officer must document the lack of a lethality
22
assessment in the written police report and refer the victim
23
