735 ILCS 5/19-106.5: Temporary possession.

(This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date)

When a companion animal is the subject of an action of replevin, at the initiation and pendency of a dispute, a court, exercising discretion set forth in Section 19-130, may issue temporary possession or caregiving orders, including limited visitation, if necessary to reduce stress or disruption to the companion animal. Section 19-106 applies in matters concerning companion animals if the court finds as a matter of record and supported by evidence that summary seizure of the property is justified by reason of necessity as set forth in paragraphs (1) through (5) of Section 19-106.
