| 6 | (720 ILCS 5/12-3.4) (was 720 ILCS 5/12-30) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 12-3.4. Violation of an order of protection. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) A person commits violation of an order of protection | ||||||
| 9 | if: | ||||||
| 10 | (1) He or she knowingly commits an act which was | ||||||
| 11 | prohibited by a court or fails to commit an act which was | ||||||
| 12 | ordered by a court in violation of: | ||||||
| 13 | (i) a remedy in a valid order of protection | ||||||
| 14 | authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (14), or | ||||||
| 15 | (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the | ||||||
| 16 | Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, | ||||||
| 17 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
| 18 | the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), | ||||||
| 19 | (3), (14) or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of | ||||||
| 20 | the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid | ||||||
| 21 | order of protection, which is authorized under the | ||||||
| 22 | laws of another state, tribe or United States | ||||||
| 23 | territory, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||||
| 2 | crime against the protected parties as the term | ||||||
| 3 | protected parties is defined in Section 112A-4 of the | ||||||
| 4 | Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963; and | ||||||
| 5 | (2) Such violation occurs after the offender has been | ||||||
| 6 | served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant to | ||||||
| 7 | the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 or any | ||||||
| 8 | substantially similar statute of another state, tribe or | ||||||
| 9 | United States territory, or otherwise has acquired actual | ||||||
| 10 | knowledge of the contents of the order. | ||||||
| 11 | A person alleged to have violated a plenary order of | ||||||
| 12 | protection is presumed to have actual knowledge of the | ||||||
| 13 | contents of the order if: | ||||||
| 14 | (i) the person has been served with a summons that | ||||||
| 15 | includes the language set forth in paragraph (3) of | ||||||
| 16 | subsection (a) of Section 210 of the Illinois Domestic | ||||||
| 17 | Violence Act of 1986 or paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of | ||||||

| 23 | of protection proceeding; and | ||||||
| 24 | (iv) the person has been served with an emergency | ||||||
| 25 | order of protection in the same proceeding that grants the | ||||||
| 26 | same remedy, including any specifics, that the person is | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | alleged to have violated. | ||||||
| 2 | An order of protection issued by a state, tribal or | ||||||
| 3 | territorial court related to domestic or family violence shall | ||||||
| 4 | be deemed valid if the issuing court had jurisdiction over the | ||||||
| 5 | parties and matter under the law of the state, tribe or | ||||||
| 6 | territory. There shall be a presumption of validity where an | ||||||
| 7 | order is certified and appears authentic on its face. For | ||||||
| 8 | purposes of this Section, an "order of protection" may have | ||||||
| 9 | been issued in a criminal or civil proceeding. | ||||||
| 10 | (a-5) Failure to provide reasonable notice and opportunity | ||||||
| 11 | to be heard shall be an affirmative defense to any charge or | ||||||
| 12 | process filed seeking enforcement of a foreign order of | ||||||
| 13 | protection. | ||||||
| 14 | (b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to diminish | ||||||
| 15 | the inherent authority of the courts to enforce their lawful | ||||||
| 16 | orders through civil or criminal contempt proceedings. | ||||||
| 17 | (c) The limitations placed on law enforcement liability by | ||||||
| 18 | Section 305 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 | ||||||
| 19 | apply to actions taken under this Section. | ||||||
| 20 | (d) Violation of an order of protection is a Class A | ||||||
| 21 | misdemeanor. Violation of an order of protection is a Class 4 | ||||||
| 22 | felony if the defendant has any prior conviction under this | ||||||
| 23 | Code for domestic battery (Section 12-3.2) or violation of an | ||||||
| 24 | order of protection (Section 12-3.4 or 12-30) or any prior | ||||||
| 25 | conviction under the law of another jurisdiction for an | ||||||
| 26 | offense that could be charged in this State as a domestic | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | battery or violation of an order of protection. Violation of | ||||||
| 2 | an order of protection is a Class 4 felony if the defendant has | ||||||

| 22 | (Section 24-1.2), or a violation of any former law of this | ||||||
| 23 | State that is substantially similar to any listed offense, or | ||||||
| 24 | any prior conviction under the law of another jurisdiction for | ||||||
| 25 | an offense that could be charged in this State as one of the | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | have been committed against a family or household member as | ||||||
| 2 | defined in Section 112A-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
| 3 | 1963. The court shall impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
| 4 | imprisonment for defendant's second or subsequent violation of | ||||||
| 5 | any order of protection; unless the court explicitly finds | ||||||
| 6 | that an increased penalty or such period of imprisonment would | ||||||
| 7 | be manifestly unjust. In addition to any other penalties, the | ||||||
| 8 | court may order the defendant to pay a fine as authorized under | ||||||
| 9 | Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to make | ||||||
| 10 | restitution to the victim under Section 5-5-6 of the Unified | ||||||
| 11 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||

| 13 | (f) A defendant who directed the actions of a third party | ||||||
| 14 | to violate this Section, under the principles of | ||||||
| 15 | accountability set forth in Article 5 of this Code, is guilty | ||||||
| 16 | of violating this Section as if the same had been personally | ||||||
| 17 | done by the defendant, without regard to the mental state of | ||||||
| 18 | the third party acting at the direction of the defendant. | ||||||
| 19 | (Source: P.A. 100-987, eff. 7-1-19.) | ||||||

| 7 | the remedies authorized under Section 213 of the Civil | ||||||
| 8 | No Contact Order Act or Section 112A-14.5 of the Code | ||||||
| 9 | of Criminal Procedure of 1963, or in a valid civil no | ||||||
| 10 | contact order, which is authorized under the laws of | ||||||

| 14 | No Contact Order Act, Article 112A of the Code of Criminal | ||||||
| 15 | Procedure of 1963, or any substantially similar statute of | ||||||

| 16 | order" may have been issued in a criminal or civil proceeding. | ||||||
| 17 | (a-5) Failure to provide reasonable notice and opportunity | ||||||
| 18 | to be heard shall be an affirmative defense to any charge or | ||||||
| 19 | process filed seeking enforcement of a foreign civil no | ||||||
| 20 | contact order. | ||||||
| 21 | (b) Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact | ||||||
| 22 | order shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other | ||||||
| 23 | crime, including any crime that may have been committed at the | ||||||

| 25 | (c) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to diminish | ||||||

| 14 | is acquitted, or the defendant or juvenile completes service | ||||||
| 15 | of his or her sentence. | ||||||
| 16 | (b) The request for an ex parte protective order may be | ||||||
| 17 | considered without notice to the respondent under Section | ||||||
| 18 | 112A-17.5 of this Code. | ||||||

| 10 | summons. If you do not attend that date or on any | ||||||
| 11 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by | ||||||
| 12 | the court, the judge may decide the case without hearing | ||||||
| 13 | from you. This is called default." | ||||||
| 14 | (C) "A plenary protective order may be entered by | ||||||
| 15 | default for any of the remedies sought in the petition if | ||||||
| 16 | you fail to appear on the specified hearing date or on any | ||||||
| 17 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by | ||||||
| 18 | the court." | ||||||
| 19 | (D) "If a plenary order is entered at the next or | ||||||

| 21 | copy of the order, you may be arrested or held criminally | ||||||

| 18 | petitioner's counsel, or the State's Attorney shall appear and | ||||||
| 19 | the court shall either order continued attempts at personal | ||||||
| 20 | service or shall order service by publication, in accordance | ||||||
| 21 | with Sections 2-203, 2-206, and 2-207 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
| 22 | Procedure. | ||||||
| 23 | (f) The request for a final protective order can be | ||||||
| 24 | considered at any court proceeding in the delinquency or | ||||||
| 25 | criminal case after service of the petition. If the petitioner | ||||||
| 26 | has not been provided notice of the court proceeding at least | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | 10 days in advance of the proceeding, the court shall schedule | ||||||
| 2 | a hearing on the petition and provide notice to the | ||||||
| 3 | petitioner. | ||||||
| 4 | (f-5) A court in a county with a population above 250,000 | ||||||
| 5 | shall offer the option of a remote hearing to a petitioner for | ||||||
| 6 | a protective order. The court has the discretion to grant or | ||||||
| 7 | deny the request for a remote hearing. Each court shall | ||||||
| 8 | determine the procedure for a remote hearing. The petitioner | ||||||
| 9 | and respondent may appear remotely or in person. | ||||||
| 10 | The court shall issue and publish a court order, standing | ||||||
| 11 | order, or local rule detailing information about the process | ||||||

| 13 | The court order, standing order, or local rule shall be | ||||||
| 14 | published on the court's website and posted on signs | ||||||
| 15 | throughout the courthouse, including in the clerk's office. | ||||||
| 16 | The sign shall be written in plain language and include | ||||||
| 17 | information about the availability of remote court appearances | ||||||
| 18 | and the process for requesting a remote hearing. | ||||||
| 19 | (g) Default orders. | ||||||
| 20 | (1) A final domestic violence order of protection may | ||||||
| 21 | be entered by default: | ||||||
| 22 | (A) for any of the remedies sought in the | ||||||
| 23 | petition, if the respondent has been served with | ||||||
| 24 | documents under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section | ||||||
| 25 | and if the respondent fails to appear on the specified | ||||||
| 26 | return date or any subsequent hearing date agreed to | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | by the petitioner and respondent or set by the court; | ||||||
| 2 | or | ||||||
| 3 | (B) for any of the remedies provided under | ||||||
| 4 | paragraph (1), (2), (3), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), | ||||||
| 5 | (10), (11), (14), (15), (17), or (18) of subsection | ||||||
| 6 | (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, or if the | ||||||
| 7 | respondent fails to answer or appear in accordance | ||||||
| 8 | with the date set in the publication notice or the | ||||||
| 9 | return date indicated on the service of a household | ||||||
| 10 | member. | ||||||
| 11 | (2) A final civil no contact order may be entered by | ||||||
| 12 | default for any of the remedies provided in Section | ||||||
| 13 | 112A-14.5 of this Code, if the respondent has been served | ||||||
| 14 | with documents under subsection (b) or (c) of this | ||||||
| 15 | Section, and if the respondent fails to answer or appear | ||||||
| 16 | in accordance with the date set in the publication notice | ||||||
| 17 | or the return date indicated on the service of a household | ||||||
| 18 | member. | ||||||
| 19 | (3) A final stalking no contact order may be entered | ||||||
| 20 | by default for any of the remedies provided by Section | ||||||
| 21 | 112A-14.7 of this Code, if the respondent has been served | ||||||
| 22 | with documents under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section | ||||||
| 23 | and if the respondent fails to answer or appear in | ||||||
| 24 | accordance with the date set in the publication notice or | ||||||
| 25 | the return date indicated on the service of a household | ||||||
| 26 | member. | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (4) When the court enters a default order under this | ||||||
| 2 | Section, the court shall include a finding about whether | ||||||
| 3 | the language required in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) | ||||||
| 4 | was included in the summons. Whether the language required | ||||||
| 5 | in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) was included in a | ||||||
| 6 | summons shall not impact whether the court grants the | ||||||
| 7 | default order if the summons was otherwise proper and the | ||||||
| 8 | requirements for default are otherwise met. | ||||||

| 10 | (725 ILCS 5/112A-23) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-23) | ||||||
| 11 | Sec. 112A-23. Enforcement of protective orders. | ||||||
| 12 | (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any protective | ||||||
| 13 | order, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal proceeding or | ||||||
| 14 | by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court | ||||||
| 15 | when: | ||||||
| 16 | (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
| 17 | domestic violence order of protection pursuant to Section | ||||||
| 18 | 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
| 19 | Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated: | ||||||
| 20 | (i) remedies described in paragraph (1), (2), (3), | ||||||
| 21 | (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 | ||||||
| 22 | of this Code, | ||||||
| 23 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
| 24 | the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (2), (3), | ||||||
| 25 | (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid | ||||||
| 2 | order of protection, which is authorized under the | ||||||
| 3 | laws of another state, tribe, or United States | ||||||
| 4 | territory, or | ||||||
| 5 | (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||||
| 6 | crime against the protected parties as defined by the | ||||||
| 7 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
| 8 | Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence | ||||||
| 9 | order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution | ||||||
| 10 | for any other crime, including any crime that may have | ||||||
| 11 | been committed at the time of the violation of the | ||||||
| 12 | domestic violence order of protection; or | ||||||
| 13 | (2) The respondent commits the crime of child | ||||||
| 14 | abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of | ||||||
| 15 | 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly | ||||||
| 16 | violated: | ||||||
| 17 | (i) remedies described in paragraph (5), (6), or | ||||||
| 18 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code, | ||||||
| 19 | or | ||||||
| 20 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
| 21 | the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (5), (6), | ||||||
| 22 | or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the Illinois | ||||||
| 23 | Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid domestic | ||||||
| 24 | violence order of protection, which is authorized | ||||||
| 25 | under the laws of another state, tribe, or United | ||||||
| 26 | States territory. | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
| 2 | civil no contact order when the respondent violates | ||||||
| 3 | Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution | ||||||
| 4 | for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar | ||||||
| 5 | concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any | ||||||
| 6 | crime that may have been committed at the time of the | ||||||
| 7 | violation of the civil no contact order. | ||||||
| 8 | (4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a | ||||||
| 9 | stalking no contact order when the respondent violates | ||||||
| 10 | Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution | ||||||
| 11 | for a violation of a stalking no contact order shall not | ||||||
| 12 | bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including | ||||||
| 13 | any crime that may have been committed at the time of the | ||||||
| 14 | violation of the stalking no contact order. | ||||||
| 15 | (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of | ||||||
| 16 | any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or | ||||||
| 17 | criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be enforced | ||||||
| 18 | through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate, | ||||||
| 19 | by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or | ||||||
| 20 | acts which violated the protective order were committed, to | ||||||
| 21 | the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this | ||||||
| 22 | Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois | ||||||
| 23 | court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in | ||||||
| 24 | another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders | ||||||
| 25 | through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings, | ||||||
| 26 | unless the action which is second in time is barred by | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against | ||||||
| 2 | double jeopardy. | ||||||
| 3 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
| 4 | rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an | ||||||
| 5 | immediate danger that the respondent will flee the | ||||||
| 6 | jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse | ||||||
| 7 | on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults | ||||||
| 8 | in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment | ||||||
| 9 | of the respondent without prior service of the rule to | ||||||
| 10 | show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond | ||||||
| 11 | shall be set unless specifically denied in writing. | ||||||
| 12 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation | ||||||
| 13 | of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
| 14 | proceeding. | ||||||
| 15 | (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental | ||||||
| 16 | responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies | ||||||
| 17 | described in paragraph (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection (b) | ||||||
| 18 | of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced by any remedy | ||||||
| 19 | provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois Marriage and | ||||||
| 20 | Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order | ||||||
| 21 | for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of | ||||||
| 22 | Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner provided for under | ||||||
| 23 | Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | ||||||
| 24 | Marriage Act. | ||||||
| 25 | (d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced | ||||||
| 26 | pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as | ||||||
| 2 | shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
| 3 | (1) (Blank). | ||||||
| 4 | (2) (Blank). | ||||||
| 5 | (3) By service of a protective order under subsection | ||||||
| 6 | (f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code. | ||||||
| 7 | (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
| 8 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
| 9 | A respondent alleged to have violated a protective order | ||||||
| 10 | is presumed to have actual knowledge of the contents of the | ||||||
| 11 | order if: | ||||||
| 12 | (i) the respondent has been served with a summons that | ||||||
| 13 | includes the language set forth in paragraph (2) of | ||||||
| 14 | subsection (c) of Section 112A-5.5; | ||||||
| 15 | (ii) the respondent has been served with the petition | ||||||
| 16 | for the protective order; | ||||||
| 17 | (iii) the respondent has been held in default in the | ||||||
| 18 | protective order proceeding; and | ||||||
| 19 | (iv) the respondent has been served with an emergency | ||||||
| 20 | order in the same proceeding that grants the same remedy, | ||||||
| 21 | including any specifics, that the respondent is alleged to | ||||||
| 22 | have violated. | ||||||
| 23 | (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or | ||||||
| 24 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
| 25 | following: | ||||||
| 26 | (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code. | ||||||
| 2 | (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
| 3 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
| 4 | (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection | ||||||
| 5 | (6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
| 6 | 1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile | ||||||
| 7 | Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of | ||||||
| 8 | Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection | ||||||
| 9 | (6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of | ||||||
| 10 | 1963 shall be void. | ||||||
| 11 | (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
| 12 | not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not | ||||||
| 13 | require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the | ||||||
| 14 | victim. | ||||||
| 15 | (g) Penalties. | ||||||
| 16 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this | ||||||
| 17 | subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||
| 18 | crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of | ||||||
| 19 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
| 20 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
| 21 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
| 22 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
| 23 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
| 24 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
| 25 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
| 26 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | of this subsection (g). | ||||||
| 2 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
| 3 | encouraged to: | ||||||
| 4 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation | ||||||
| 5 | of any protective order over any penalty previously | ||||||
| 6 | imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any | ||||||
| 7 | protective order or penal statute involving petitioner | ||||||
| 8 | as victim and respondent as defendant; | ||||||
| 9 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
| 10 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
| 11 | protective order; and | ||||||
| 12 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
| 13 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
| 14 | violation of a protective order unless the court | ||||||
| 15 | explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that | ||||||
| 16 | period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust. | ||||||
| 17 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
| 18 | violation of a protective order, a criminal court may | ||||||
| 19 | consider evidence of any violations of a protective order: | ||||||
| 20 | (i) to modify the conditions of pretrial release | ||||||
| 21 | on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section | ||||||
| 22 | 110-6 of this Code; | ||||||
| 23 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
| 24 | conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
| 25 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
| 26 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
| 2 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||
| 3 | (Source: P.A. 102-184, eff. 1-1-22; 102-558, eff. 8-20-21; | ||||||

| 6 | Section 15. The Stalking No Contact Order Act is amended | ||||||
| 7 | by changing Section 60 as follows: | ||||||
| 8 | (740 ILCS 21/60) | ||||||
| 9 | Sec. 60. Process. | ||||||
| 10 | (a)(1) Any action for a stalking no contact order requires | ||||||
| 11 | that a separate summons be issued and served. | ||||||
| 12 | (2) The summons shall be in the form prescribed by Supreme | ||||||
| 13 | Court Rule 101(d), except that it shall require the respondent | ||||||
| 14 | to answer or appear within 7 days. | ||||||
| 15 | (3) The summons shall include the following language: | ||||||
| 16 | (A) "If an emergency stalking no contact order has | ||||||
| 17 | been ordered against you and included with this summons or | ||||||
| 18 | you have otherwise received a copy of that order, you may | ||||||
| 19 | be arrested or held criminally or civilly liable for | ||||||
| 20 | violating certain terms of the order. The court may enter | ||||||
| 21 | another protective order when the attached emergency order | ||||||
| 22 | expires." | ||||||
| 23 | (B) "You must attend court on the date in this | ||||||
| 24 | summons. If you do not attend that date or on any | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by | ||||||
| 2 | the court, the judge may decide the case without hearing | ||||||
| 3 | from you. This is called default." | ||||||
| 4 | (C) "A plenary stalking no contact order may be | ||||||
| 5 | entered by default for any of the remedies sought in the | ||||||
| 6 | petition if you fail to appear on the specified hearing | ||||||
| 7 | date or on any subsequent hearing date agreed to by the | ||||||
| 8 | parties or set by the court." | ||||||
| 9 | (D) "If a plenary order is entered at the next or | ||||||
| 10 | subsequent court date, even if you do not attend or get a | ||||||
| 11 | copy of the order, you may be arrested or held criminally | ||||||
| 12 | or civilly liable for violating certain terms of that | ||||||
| 13 | order." | ||||||
| 14 | (4) Attachments to the summons or notice shall include the | ||||||
| 15 | petition for stalking no contact order and supporting | ||||||
| 16 | affidavits, if any, and any emergency stalking no contact | ||||||
| 17 | order that has been issued. | ||||||
| 18 | (b) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or other law | ||||||
| 19 | enforcement officer at the earliest time and shall take | ||||||
| 20 | precedence over other summonses except those of a similar | ||||||
| 21 | emergency nature. Special process servers may be appointed at | ||||||
| 22 | any time, and their designation shall not affect the | ||||||
| 23 | responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other | ||||||
| 24 | official process servers. | ||||||
| 25 | (c) Service of process on a member of the respondent's | ||||||
| 26 | household or by publication shall be adequate if: (1) the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | petitioner has made all reasonable efforts to accomplish | ||||||
| 2 | actual service of process personally upon the respondent, but | ||||||
| 3 | the respondent cannot be found to effect such service; and (2) | ||||||
| 4 | the petitioner files an affidavit or presents sworn testimony | ||||||
| 5 | as to those efforts. | ||||||
| 6 | (d) A plenary stalking no contact order may be entered by | ||||||
| 7 | default for the remedy sought in the petition, if the | ||||||
| 8 | respondent has been served or given notice in accordance with | ||||||
| 9 | subsection (a) and if the respondent then fails to appear as | ||||||
| 10 | directed or fails to appear on any subsequent appearance or | ||||||
| 11 | hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by the court. | ||||||
| 12 | (e) If an order is granted under subsection (c) of Section | ||||||
| 13 | 95, the court shall immediately file a certified copy of the | ||||||
| 14 | order with the sheriff or other law enforcement official | ||||||
| 15 | charged with maintaining Department of State Police records. | ||||||
| 16 | (Source: P.A. 101-508, eff. 1-1-20.) | ||||||
| 17 | Section 20. The Civil No Contact Order Act is amended by | ||||||
| 18 | changing Sections 208 and 220 as follows: | ||||||
| 19 | (740 ILCS 22/208) | ||||||
| 20 | Sec. 208. Process. | ||||||
| 21 | (a) (1) Any action for a civil no contact order requires | ||||||
| 22 | that a separate summons be issued and served. | ||||||
| 23 | (2) The summons shall be in the form prescribed by Supreme | ||||||

| 4 | ordered against you and included with this summons or you | ||||||
| 5 | have otherwise received a copy of that order, you may be | ||||||
| 6 | arrested or held criminally or civilly liable for | ||||||
| 7 | violating certain terms of the order. The court may enter | ||||||
| 8 | another protective order when the attached emergency order | ||||||
| 9 | expires." | ||||||
| 10 | (B) "You must attend court on the date in this | ||||||
| 11 | summons. If you do not attend that date or on any | ||||||
| 12 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by | ||||||
| 13 | the court, the judge may decide the case without hearing | ||||||
| 14 | from you. This is called default." | ||||||
| 15 | (C) "A plenary civil no contact order may be entered | ||||||
| 16 | by default for any of the remedies sought in the petition | ||||||
| 17 | if you fail to appear on the specified hearing date or on | ||||||

| 22 | copy of the order, you may be arrested or held criminally | ||||||
| 23 | or civilly liable for violating certain terms of that | ||||||
| 24 | order." | ||||||
| 25 | (4) Attachments to the summons or notice shall include the | ||||||
| 26 | petition for civil no contact order and supporting affidavits, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | if any, and any emergency civil no contact order that has been | ||||||
| 2 | issued. | ||||||
| 3 | (b) The summons shall be served by the sheriff or other law | ||||||
| 4 | enforcement officer at the earliest time and shall take | ||||||
| 5 | precedence over other summonses except those of a similar | ||||||
| 6 | emergency nature. Special process servers may be appointed at | ||||||
| 7 | any time, and their designation shall not affect the | ||||||
| 8 | responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other | ||||||
| 9 | official process servers. | ||||||
| 10 | (c) Service of process on a member of the respondent's | ||||||
| 11 | household or by publication shall be adequate if: (1) the | ||||||
| 12 | petitioner has made all reasonable efforts to accomplish | ||||||
| 13 | actual service of process personally upon the respondent, but | ||||||
| 14 | the respondent cannot be found to effect such service; and (2) | ||||||
| 15 | the petitioner files an affidavit or presents sworn testimony | ||||||
| 16 | as to those efforts. | ||||||
| 17 | (d) A plenary civil no contact order may be entered by | ||||||
| 18 | default for the remedy sought in the petition, if the | ||||||
| 19 | respondent has been served or given notice in accordance with | ||||||
| 20 | subsection (a) and if the respondent then fails to appear as | ||||||
| 21 | directed or fails to appear on any subsequent appearance or | ||||||
| 22 | hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by the court. | ||||||
| 23 | (e) If an order is granted under subsection (c) of Section | ||||||
| 24 | 214, the court shall immediately file a certified copy of the | ||||||
| 25 | order with the sheriff or other law enforcement official | ||||||

| 2 | (740 ILCS 22/220) | ||||||
| 3 | Sec. 220. Enforcement of a civil no contact order. | ||||||
| 4 | (a) Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois court | ||||||
| 5 | from enforcing a valid protective order issued in another | ||||||
| 6 | state or by a military judge. | ||||||
| 7 | (b) Illinois courts may enforce civil no contact orders | ||||||
| 8 | through both criminal proceedings and civil contempt | ||||||
| 9 | proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is | ||||||
| 10 | barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional | ||||||
| 11 | prohibition against double jeopardy. | ||||||
| 12 | (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or | ||||||
| 13 | private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil | ||||||
| 14 | or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or | ||||||
| 15 | non-public school has been allowed to intervene. | ||||||
| 16 | (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal | ||||||
| 17 | custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
| 18 | for a violation of any provision of any order entered under | ||||||
| 19 | this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of | ||||||
| 20 | this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian | ||||||
| 21 | directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such | ||||||
| 22 | conduct. | ||||||
| 23 | (c) Criminal prosecution. A violation of any civil no | ||||||
| 24 | contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal | ||||||
| 25 | proceeding or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | criminal court when the respondent commits the crime of | ||||||
| 2 | violation of a civil no contact order pursuant to Section 219 | ||||||
| 3 | by having knowingly violated: | ||||||
| 4 | (1) remedies described in Section 213 and included in | ||||||
| 5 | a civil no contact order; or | ||||||
| 6 | (2) a provision of an order, which is substantially | ||||||
| 7 | similar to provisions of Section 213, in a valid civil no | ||||||
| 8 | contact order which is authorized under the laws of | ||||||
| 9 | another state, tribe, or United States territory. | ||||||
| 10 | Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact order | ||||||
| 11 | shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other crime, | ||||||
| 12 | including any crime that may have been committed at the time of | ||||||
| 13 | the violation of the civil no contact order. | ||||||
| 14 | (d) Contempt of court. A violation of any valid Illinois | ||||||
| 15 | civil no contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal | ||||||
| 16 | proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
| 17 | procedures, as appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, | ||||||
| 18 | regardless of where the act or acts which violated the civil no | ||||||
| 19 | contact order were committed, to the extent consistent with | ||||||
| 20 | the venue provisions of this Act. | ||||||
| 21 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
| 22 | rule to show cause or petition for adjudication of | ||||||
| 23 | criminal contempt sets forth facts evidencing an immediate | ||||||
| 24 | danger that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction or | ||||||
| 25 | inflict physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children | ||||||
| 26 | or on dependent adults in the petitioner's care, the court | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | may order the attachment of the respondent without prior | ||||||
| 2 | service of the petition for a rule to show cause, the rule | ||||||
| 3 | to show cause, the petition for adjudication of criminal | ||||||
| 4 | contempt or the adjudication of criminal contempt. | ||||||
| 5 | Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically | ||||||
| 6 | denied in writing. | ||||||
| 7 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause or a petition | ||||||
| 8 | for adjudication of criminal contempt for violation of a | ||||||
| 9 | civil no contact order shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
| 10 | proceeding. | ||||||
| 11 | (e) Actual knowledge. A civil no contact order may be | ||||||
| 12 | enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates | ||||||
| 13 | the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its | ||||||
| 14 | contents as shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
| 15 | (1) by service, delivery, or notice under Section 208; | ||||||
| 16 | (2) by notice under Section 218; | ||||||
| 17 | (3) by service of a civil no contact order under | ||||||
| 18 | Section 218; or | ||||||
| 19 | (4) by other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
| 20 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
| 21 | A respondent alleged to have violated a civil no contact | ||||||
| 22 | order is presumed to have actual knowledge of the contents of | ||||||
| 23 | the order if: | ||||||
| 24 | (i) the respondent has been served with a summons that | ||||||
| 25 | includes the language set forth in paragraph (3) of | ||||||
| 26 | subsection (a) of Section 208; | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (ii) the respondent has been served with the petition | ||||||
| 2 | for the civil no contact order; | ||||||
| 3 | (iii) the respondent has been held in default in the | ||||||
| 4 | civil no contact order proceeding; and | ||||||
| 5 | (iv) the respondent has been served with an emergency | ||||||
| 6 | civil no contact order in the same proceeding that grants | ||||||
| 7 | the same remedy, including any specifics, that the | ||||||
| 8 | respondent is alleged to have violated. | ||||||
| 9 | (f) The enforcement of a civil no contact order in civil or | ||||||
| 10 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
| 11 | following: | ||||||
| 12 | (1) the existence of a separate, correlative order, | ||||||
| 13 | entered under Section 202; or | ||||||
| 14 | (2) any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
| 15 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
| 16 | (g) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
| 17 | not a violation of a civil no contact order has occurred, shall | ||||||
| 18 | not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of | ||||||
| 19 | the victim. | ||||||
| 20 | (h) Penalties. | ||||||
| 21 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this | ||||||
| 22 | subsection, where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||
| 23 | crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of | ||||||
| 24 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
| 25 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
| 26 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
| 2 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
| 3 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
| 4 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
| 5 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
| 6 | of this subsection. | ||||||
| 7 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
| 8 | encouraged to: | ||||||
| 9 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation | ||||||
| 10 | of any civil no contact order over any penalty | ||||||
| 11 | previously imposed by any court for respondent's | ||||||
| 12 | violation of any civil no contact order or penal | ||||||
| 13 | statute involving petitioner as victim and respondent | ||||||
| 14 | as defendant; | ||||||
| 15 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
| 16 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
| 17 | civil no contact order; and | ||||||
| 18 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
| 19 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
| 20 | violation of a civil no contact order unless the court | ||||||
| 21 | explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that | ||||||
| 22 | period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust. | ||||||
| 23 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
| 24 | violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court | ||||||
| 25 | may consider evidence of any previous violations of a | ||||||
| 26 | civil no contact order: | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (i) to modify the conditions of pretrial release | ||||||
| 2 | on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section | ||||||
| 3 | 110-6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963; | ||||||
| 4 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
| 5 | conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
| 6 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; or | ||||||
| 7 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
| 8 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
| 9 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||

| 11 | Section 25. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is | ||||||
| 12 | amended by changing Sections 210, 210.1, and 223 as follows: | ||||||
| 13 | (750 ILCS 60/210) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-10) | ||||||
| 14 | Sec. 210. Process. | ||||||
| 15 | (a) Summons. | ||||||
| 16 | (1) Any action for an order of protection, whether | ||||||
| 17 | commenced alone or in conjunction with another proceeding, is | ||||||
| 18 | a distinct cause of action and requires that a separate | ||||||
| 19 | summons be issued and served, except that in pending cases the | ||||||
| 20 | following methods may be used: | ||||||
| 21 | (A) (1) By delivery of the summons to respondent | ||||||
| 22 | personally in open court in pending civil or criminal | ||||||
| 23 | cases. | ||||||
| 24 | (B) (2) By notice in accordance with Section 210.1 in | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | civil cases in which the defendant has filed a general | ||||||
| 2 | appearance. | ||||||
| 3 | (2) The summons shall be in the form prescribed by Supreme | ||||||
| 4 | Court Rule 101(d), except that it shall require respondent to | ||||||
| 5 | answer or appear within 7 days. | ||||||
| 6 | (3) The summons shall include the following language: | ||||||
| 7 | (A) "If an emergency order of protection has been | ||||||
| 8 | ordered against you and included with this summons or | ||||||
| 9 | you have otherwise received a copy of that order, you | ||||||
| 10 | may be arrested or held criminally or civilly liable | ||||||
| 11 | for violating certain terms of the order. The court | ||||||
| 12 | may enter another order of protection when the | ||||||
| 13 | attached emergency order expires." | ||||||
| 14 | (B) "You must attend court on the date in this | ||||||
| 15 | summons. If you do not attend that date or on any | ||||||
| 16 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or | ||||||
| 17 | set by the court, the judge may decide the case without | ||||||
| 18 | hearing from you. This is called default." | ||||||
| 19 | (C) "A plenary order of protection may be entered | ||||||
| 20 | by default for any of the remedies sought in the | ||||||
| 21 | petition if you fail to appear on the specified | ||||||
| 22 | hearing date or on any subsequent hearing date agreed | ||||||
| 23 | to by the parties or set by the court." | ||||||
| 24 | (D) "If a plenary order is entered at the next or | ||||||
| 25 | subsequent court date, even if you do not attend or get | ||||||
| 26 | a copy of the order, you may be arrested or held | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | criminally or civilly liable for violating certain | ||||||
| 2 | terms of that order." | ||||||
| 3 | (4)Attachments to the summons or notice shall include the | ||||||
| 4 | petition for order of protection and supporting affidavits, if | ||||||
| 5 | any, and any emergency order of protection that has been | ||||||
| 6 | issued. | ||||||
| 7 | (5)The enforcement of an order of protection under Section | ||||||
| 8 | 223 shall not be affected by the lack of service, delivery, or | ||||||
| 9 | notice, provided the requirements of subsection (d) of that | ||||||
| 10 | Section are otherwise met. | ||||||
| 11 | (b) Blank. | ||||||
| 12 | (c) Expedited service. The summons shall be served by the | ||||||
| 13 | sheriff or other law enforcement officer at the earliest time | ||||||
| 14 | and shall take precedence over other summonses except those of | ||||||
| 15 | a similar emergency nature. Special process servers may be | ||||||
| 16 | appointed at any time, and their designation shall not affect | ||||||
| 17 | the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other | ||||||
| 18 | official process servers. In counties with a population over | ||||||
| 19 | 3,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if | ||||||
| 20 | the order of protection grants the surrender of a child, the | ||||||
| 21 | surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card, | ||||||
| 22 | or the exclusive possession of a shared residence. | ||||||
| 23 | (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling, | ||||||
| 24 | payment of support, payment of shelter services, and payment | ||||||
| 25 | of losses remedies provided by paragraphs 4, 12, 13, and 16 of | ||||||
| 26 | subsection (b) of Section 214 may be granted only if | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | respondent has been personally served with process, has | ||||||
| 2 | answered or has made a general appearance. | ||||||
| 3 | (e) Remedies upon constructive notice. Service of process | ||||||
| 4 | on a member of respondent's household or by publication shall | ||||||
| 5 | be adequate for the remedies provided by paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5, | ||||||
| 6 | 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 17 of subsection (b) of Section | ||||||
| 7 | 214, but only if: (i) petitioner has made all reasonable | ||||||
| 8 | efforts to accomplish actual service of process personally | ||||||
| 9 | upon respondent, but respondent cannot be found to effect such | ||||||
| 10 | service and (ii) petitioner files an affidavit or presents | ||||||
| 11 | sworn testimony as to those efforts. | ||||||
| 12 | (f) Default. A plenary order of protection may be entered | ||||||
| 13 | by default as follows: | ||||||
| 14 | (1) For any of the remedies sought in the petition, if | ||||||
| 15 | respondent has been served or given notice in accordance | ||||||
| 16 | with subsection (a) and if respondent then fails to appear | ||||||
| 17 | as directed or fails to appear on any subsequent | ||||||
| 18 | appearance or hearing date agreed to by the parties or set | ||||||
| 19 | by the court; or | ||||||
| 20 | (2) For any of the remedies provided in accordance | ||||||
| 21 | with subsection (e), if respondent fails to answer or | ||||||
| 22 | appear in accordance with the date set in the publication | ||||||
| 23 | notice or the return date indicated on the service of a | ||||||
| 24 | household member. | ||||||
| 25 | (g) Emergency orders. If an order is granted under | ||||||
| 26 | subsection (c) of Section 217, the court shall immediately | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | file a certified copy of the order with the sheriff or other | ||||||
| 2 | law enforcement official charged with maintaining Department | ||||||
| 3 | of State Police records. | ||||||
| 4 | (Source: P.A. 101-508, eff. 1-1-20.) | ||||||
| 5 | (750 ILCS 60/210.1) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-10.1) | ||||||
| 6 | Sec. 210.1. Service of notice in conjunction with a | ||||||
| 7 | pending civil case. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) Notice. When an action for an order of protection is | ||||||
| 9 | sought in conjunction with a pending civil case in which the | ||||||
| 10 | court has obtained jurisdiction over respondent, and | ||||||
| 11 | respondent has filed a general appearance, then a separate | ||||||
| 12 | summons need not issue. Original notice of a hearing on a | ||||||
| 13 | petition for an order of protection may be given, and the | ||||||
| 14 | documents served, in accordance with Illinois Supreme Court | ||||||
| 15 | Rules 11 and 12. When, however, an emergency order of | ||||||
| 16 | protection is sought in such a case on an ex parte application, | ||||||
| 17 | then the procedure set forth in subsection (a) of Section 210 | ||||||
| 18 | (other than in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subsection | ||||||
| 19 | (a) (2)) shall be followed. If an order of protection is issued | ||||||
| 20 | using the notice provisions of this Section, then the order of | ||||||
| 21 | protection or extensions of that order may survive the | ||||||
| 22 | disposition of the main civil case. The enforcement of any | ||||||
| 23 | order of protection under Section 223 shall not be affected by | ||||||
| 24 | the lack of notice under this Section, provided the | ||||||
| 25 | requirements of subsection (d) of that Section are otherwise | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | met. | ||||||
| 2 | (b) Default. The form of notice described in subsection | ||||||
| 3 | (a) shall include the following language directed to the | ||||||
| 4 | respondent: | ||||||
| 5 | A 2-year plenary order of protection may be entered by | ||||||
| 6 | default for any of the remedies sought in the petition if | ||||||
| 7 | you fail to appear on the specified hearing date or on any | ||||||
| 8 | subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by | ||||||
| 9 | the court. | ||||||
| 10 | (c) Party to give notice. Notice in the pending civil case | ||||||
| 11 | shall be given (i) by either party under this Section, with | ||||||
| 12 | respect to extensions, modifications, hearings, or other | ||||||
| 13 | relief pertinent to an order of protection, in accordance with | ||||||
| 14 | Illinois Supreme Court Rules 11 and 12 or (ii) by the | ||||||
| 15 | respondent as provided in subsection (c) of Section 224. | ||||||
| 16 | (Source: P.A. 87-1186.) | ||||||
| 17 | (750 ILCS 60/223) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-23) | ||||||
| 18 | Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection. | ||||||
| 19 | (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of | ||||||
| 20 | protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding | ||||||
| 21 | or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court | ||||||
| 22 | when: | ||||||
| 23 | (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of | ||||||
| 24 | an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 | ||||||
| 25 | of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | by having knowingly violated: | ||||||
| 2 | (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2), | ||||||
| 3 | (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 | ||||||
| 4 | of this Act; or | ||||||
| 5 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
| 6 | the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), | ||||||
| 7 | (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 | ||||||
| 8 | of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is | ||||||
| 9 | authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or | ||||||
| 10 | United States territory; or | ||||||
| 11 | (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||||
| 12 | crime against the protected parties as defined by the | ||||||
| 13 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
| 14 | Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection | ||||||
| 15 | shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, | ||||||
| 16 | including any crime that may have been committed at the | ||||||
| 17 | time of the violation of the order of protection; or | ||||||
| 18 | (2) The respondent commits the crime of child | ||||||
| 19 | abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of | ||||||
| 20 | 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly | ||||||
| 21 | violated: | ||||||
| 22 | (i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6) or | ||||||
| 23 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or | ||||||
| 24 | (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||||
| 25 | the remedies authorized under paragraphs (5), (6), or | ||||||
| 26 | (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | valid order of protection which is authorized under | ||||||
| 2 | the laws of another state, tribe, or United States | ||||||
| 3 | territory. | ||||||
| 4 | (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of | ||||||
| 5 | any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a | ||||||
| 6 | civil or criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be | ||||||
| 7 | enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as | ||||||
| 8 | appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where | ||||||
| 9 | the act or acts which violated the order of protection were | ||||||
| 10 | committed, to the extent consistent with the venue provisions | ||||||
| 11 | of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois | ||||||
| 12 | court from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in | ||||||
| 13 | another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of | ||||||
| 14 | protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt | ||||||
| 15 | proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is | ||||||
| 16 | barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional | ||||||
| 17 | prohibition against double jeopardy. | ||||||
| 18 | (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a | ||||||
| 19 | rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an | ||||||
| 20 | immediate danger that the respondent will flee the | ||||||
| 21 | jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse | ||||||
| 22 | on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults | ||||||
| 23 | in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment | ||||||
| 24 | of the respondent without prior service of the rule to | ||||||
| 25 | show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. | ||||||
| 26 | Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | denied in writing. | ||||||
| 2 | (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation | ||||||
| 3 | of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited | ||||||
| 4 | proceeding. | ||||||
| 5 | (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or | ||||||
| 6 | private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil | ||||||
| 7 | or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or | ||||||
| 8 | non-public school has been allowed to intervene. | ||||||
| 9 | (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal | ||||||
| 10 | custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt | ||||||
| 11 | for a violation of any provision of any order entered under | ||||||
| 12 | this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of | ||||||
| 13 | this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian | ||||||
| 14 | directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such | ||||||
| 15 | conduct. | ||||||
| 16 | (c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or | ||||||
| 17 | final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A | ||||||
| 18 | violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), | ||||||
| 19 | or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be | ||||||
| 20 | enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the | ||||||
| 21 | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court | ||||||
| 22 | may enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) | ||||||
| 23 | of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for | ||||||
| 24 | under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution | ||||||
| 25 | of Marriage Act. | ||||||
| 26 | (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates | ||||||
| 2 | the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its | ||||||
| 3 | contents as shown through one of the following means: | ||||||
| 4 | (1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210. | ||||||
| 5 | (2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211. | ||||||
| 6 | (3) By service of an order of protection under Section | ||||||
| 7 | 222. | ||||||
| 8 | (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of | ||||||
| 9 | the contents of the order. | ||||||
| 10 | A respondent alleged to have violated a plenary order of | ||||||
| 11 | protection is presumed to have actual knowledge of the | ||||||
| 12 | contents of the order if: | ||||||
| 13 | (i) the respondent has been served with a summons that | ||||||
| 14 | includes the language set forth in paragraph (3) of | ||||||
| 15 | subsection (a) of Section 210; | ||||||
| 16 | (ii) the respondent has been served with the petition | ||||||
| 17 | for the order of protection; | ||||||
| 18 | (iii) the respondent has been held in default in the | ||||||
| 19 | order of protection proceeding; and | ||||||
| 20 | (iv) the respondent has been served with an emergency | ||||||
| 21 | order of protection in the same proceeding that grants the | ||||||
| 22 | same remedy, including any specifics, that the respondent | ||||||
| 23 | is alleged to have violated. | ||||||
| 24 | (e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or | ||||||
| 25 | criminal court shall not be affected by either of the | ||||||
| 26 | following: | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order, | ||||||
| 2 | entered under Section 215. | ||||||
| 3 | (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined | ||||||
| 4 | criminal proceeding. | ||||||
| 5 | (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or | ||||||
| 6 | not a violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall | ||||||
| 7 | not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of | ||||||
| 8 | the victim. | ||||||
| 9 | (g) Penalties. | ||||||
| 10 | (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this | ||||||
| 11 | subsection, where the court finds the commission of a | ||||||
| 12 | crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of | ||||||
| 13 | this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that | ||||||
| 14 | generally applies in such criminal or contempt | ||||||
| 15 | proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: | ||||||
| 16 | incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of | ||||||
| 17 | attorneys' fees and costs, or community service. | ||||||
| 18 | (2) The court shall hear and take into account | ||||||
| 19 | evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation | ||||||
| 20 | before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) | ||||||
| 21 | of this subsection. | ||||||
| 22 | (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is | ||||||
| 23 | encouraged to: | ||||||
| 24 | (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation | ||||||
| 25 | of any order of protection over any penalty previously | ||||||
| 26 | imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | order of protection or penal statute involving | ||||||
| 2 | petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant; | ||||||
| 3 | (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||||||
| 4 | imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any | ||||||
| 5 | order of protection; and | ||||||
| 6 | (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours | ||||||
| 7 | imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent | ||||||
| 8 | violation of an order of protection | ||||||
| 9 | unless the court explicitly finds that an increased | ||||||
| 10 | penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly | ||||||
| 11 | unjust. | ||||||
| 12 | (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a | ||||||
| 13 | violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may | ||||||
| 14 | consider evidence of any violations of an order of | ||||||
| 15 | protection: | ||||||
| 16 | (i) to increase, revoke or modify the conditions | ||||||
| 17 | of pretrial release on an underlying criminal charge | ||||||
| 18 | pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code of Criminal | ||||||
| 19 | Procedure of 1963; | ||||||
| 20 | (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation, | ||||||
| 21 | conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to | ||||||
| 22 | Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
| 23 | (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic | ||||||
| 24 | imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified | ||||||
| 25 | Code of Corrections. | ||||||
| 26 | (5) In addition to any other penalties, the court | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | shall impose an additional fine of $20 as authorized by | ||||||
| 2 | Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of Corrections upon | ||||||
| 3 | any person convicted of or placed on supervision for a | ||||||
