Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Allows the court to waive the publication requirements if a petitioner files with the court a verified statement attesting that the petitioner has a gender-related identity as defined in the Illinois Human Rights Act, that is not expressed on the petitioner's birth certificate or the petitioner's previous name identification does not express the petitioner's current gender identity. Requires the court to enter an order sealing and impounding the case if the publication requirements have been waived and the court file sealed and impounded for petitioners at risk for domestic violence and gender-identity. Provides that at the request of law enforcement for good cause shown, the court shall unseal and open the case for review by law enforcement only. Provides that the case may not be sealed or impounded if the petitioner has been convicted of a felony or sex offense that requires the petitioner to register as a sex offender.
