Public Act 102-0184
HB0734 EnrolledLRB102 11400 KMF 16733 b
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by changing Sections 112A-20 and 112A-23 as follows:
(725 ILCS 5/112A-20) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-20)
Sec. 112A-20. Duration and extension of final protective
orders.
(a) (Blank).
(b) A final protective order shall remain in effect as
follows:
(1) if entered during pre-trial release, until
disposition, withdrawal, or dismissal of the underlying
charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
independent cause of action, the order's duration may be
for a fixed period of time not to exceed 2 years;
(2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture
warrant, until final disposition or an additional period
of time not exceeding 2 years; no domestic violence order
of protection, however, shall be terminated by a dismissal
that is accompanied by the issuance of a bond forfeiture
warrant;
(3) until 2 years after the expiration of any
supervision, conditional discharge, probation, periodic
imprisonment, parole, aftercare release, or mandatory
supervised release for domestic violence orders of
protection and civil no contact orders; or
(4) until 2 years after the date set by the court for
expiration of any sentence of imprisonment and subsequent
parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release
for domestic violence orders of protection and civil no
contact orders; and
(5) permanent for a stalking no contact order if a
judgment of conviction for stalking is entered; or .
(6) permanent for a civil no contact order at the
victim's request if a judgment of conviction for criminal
sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual assault,
criminal sexual abuse, excluding a conviction under
subsection (c) of Section 11-1.50 of the Criminal Code of
2012, or aggravated criminal sexual abuse is entered.
(c) Computation of time. The duration of a domestic
violence order of protection shall not be reduced by the
duration of any prior domestic violence order of protection.
(d) Law enforcement records. When a protective order
expires upon the occurrence of a specified event, rather than
upon a specified date as provided in subsection (b), no
expiration date shall be entered in Department of State Police
records. To remove the protective order from those records,
either the petitioner or the respondent shall request the
clerk of the court to file a certified copy of an order stating
that the specified event has occurred or that the protective
order has been vacated or modified with the sheriff, and the
sheriff shall direct that law enforcement records shall be
promptly corrected in accordance with the filed order.
(e) Extension of Orders. Any domestic violence order of
protection or civil no contact order that expires 2 years
after the expiration of the defendant's sentence under
paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section
112A-20 of this Article may be extended one or more times, as
required. The petitioner, petitioner's counsel, or the State's
Attorney on the petitioner's behalf shall file the motion for
an extension of the final protective order in the criminal
case and serve the motion in accordance with Supreme Court
Rules 11 and 12. The court shall transfer the motion to the
appropriate court or division for consideration under
subsection (e) of Section 220 of the Illinois Domestic
Violence Act of 1986, subsection (c) of Section 216 of the
Civil No Contact Order Act, or subsection (c) of Section 105 of
the Stalking No Contact Order as appropriate.
(f) Termination date. Any final protective order which
would expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the
close of the next court business day.
(g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing a
protective order undermines the purposes of this Article. This
Section shall not be construed as encouraging that practice.

(725 ILCS 5/112A-23) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-23)
Sec. 112A-23. Enforcement of protective orders.
(a) When violation is crime. A violation of any protective
order, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal proceeding,
shall be enforced by a criminal court when:
(1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
domestic violence order of protection pursuant to Section
12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated:
(i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
(3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section
112A-14 of this Code,
(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
(3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a
valid order of protection, which is authorized under
the laws of another state, tribe or United States
territory, or
(iii) or any other remedy when the act constitutes
a crime against the protected parties as defined by
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence
order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution
for any other crime, including any crime that may have
been committed at the time of the violation of the
domestic violence order of protection; or
(2) The respondent commits the crime of child
abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly
violated:
(i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), or
(8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code,
or
(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (5),
(6), or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the
Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid
domestic violence order of protection, which is
authorized under the laws of another state, tribe or
United States territory.
(3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
civil no contact order when the respondent violates
Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar
concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any
crime that may have been committed at the time of the
violation of the civil no contact order.
(4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
stalking no contact order when the respondent violates
Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
for a violation of a stalking no contact order shall not
bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including
any crime that may have been committed at the time of the
violation of the stalking no contact order.
(b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
criminal proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal
contempt procedures, as appropriate, by any court with
jurisdiction, regardless where the act or acts which violated
the protective order were committed, to the extent consistent
with the venue provisions of this Article. Nothing in this
Article shall preclude any Illinois court from enforcing any
valid protective order issued in another state. Illinois
courts may enforce protective orders through both criminal
prosecution and contempt proceedings, unless the action which
is second in time is barred by collateral estoppel or the
constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.
(1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
(2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
proceeding.
(c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection
(b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced by any
remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order
for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner provided for under
Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act.
(d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced
pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order
after respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as shown
through one of the following means:
(1) (Blank).
(2) (Blank).
(3) By service of a protective order under subsection
(f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code.
(4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
the contents of the order.
(e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
following:
(1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
(2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
criminal proceeding.
(e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 shall be void.
(f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
victim.
(g) Penalties.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of
this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that
generally applies in such criminal or contempt
proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
(2) The court shall hear and take into account
evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
of this subsection (g).
(3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
encouraged to:
(i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
of any protective order over any penalty previously
imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
as victim and respondent as defendant;
(ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
protective order; and
(iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
violation of a protective order
unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
unjust.
(4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
(i) to increase, revoke, or modify the bail bond
on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section
110-6 of this Code;
(ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to
Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
(iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified
Code of Corrections.
