- an authorized agent of a place of employment, place of worship, or school;
- a victim of stalking who is a service member of the Illinois National Guard or any reserve military component serving in Illinois who already has a military protective order (MPO); or

However, the stalking victim must agree (consent) to a petition being filed by the Staff Judge Advocate.1
