In an Illinois WC case, can the Respondent force the Petitioner to remain working for him by honoring the light duty restrictions if the Petitioner has already moved out-of state to California.

restrictions are permanent, family recently moved to California, currently looking for alternative employment to satisfy wage differential requirements b/c he can no longer work as an electrician. During settlement talks, respondent attorney hinted that respondent might offer to accomodate restrictions as a way to force petitioner to either move back to IL or give up his wage differential claim.
Therefore, are respondents actions legit under the WC act? Can petitioner be forced to move back and accept job or does he have the right to demand vocational rehab and job placement in CA?

Well, if the petitioner has moved to another state, why hasn't he/she submitted a letter of resignation? If the person is still employed by the "respondent", why would they not expect to have to work for said respondent? The only way the person can expect not to be asked to work is if they go on leave, can't work due to the injury, or end their employment.
I mean, seriously.
