6 (725 ILCS 5/112A-23) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-23)
7 Sec. 112A-23. Enforcement of orders of protection.
8 (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
9 protection, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal
10 proceeding, shallmay be enforced by a criminal court when:
11 (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation
12 of an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-30 of
13 the Criminal Code of 1961, by having knowingly violated:
14 (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
15 (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section
16 112A-14,
17 (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar
18 to the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1),
19 (2), (3), (14) or (14.5) of subsection (b) of
20 Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
21 1986, in a valid order of protection, which is
22 authorized under the laws of another state, tribe or
23 United States territory,
24 (iii) or any other remedy when the act
25 constitutes a crime against the protected parties as
26 defined by the Criminal Code of 1961.

17 violated the order of protection were committed, to the
18 extent consistent with the venue provisions of this Article.
19 Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois court
20 from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in

22 protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt
23 proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
24 barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
25 prohibition against double jeopardy.

27 a rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
28 immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
29 jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
30 on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent
31 adults in petitioner's care, the court may order the
32 attachment of the respondent without prior service of the
33 rule to show cause or the petition for a rule to show
34 cause. Bond shall be set unless specifically denied in
HB0206 Engrossed -3- LRB093 04398 MKM 04448 b

7 subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 may be enforced by any

9 Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order
10 for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of
11 Section 112A-14 in the manner provided for under Articles V
12 and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
13 Act.
14 (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be
15 enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates

17 contents as shown through one of the following means:
18 (1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section
19 112A-10.
20 (2) By notice under Section 112A-11.
21 (3) By service of an order of protection under
22 Section 112A-22.
23 (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge
24 of the contents of the order.
25 (e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil
26 or criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
27 following:
28 (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
29 entered under Section 112A-15.
30 (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
31 criminal proceeding.

7 generally applies in such criminal or contempt
8 proceedings, and may include one or more of the
9 following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
10 payment of attorneys' fees and costs, or community
11 service.
12 (2) The court shall hear and take into account
13 evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
14 before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph
15 (1) of this subsection.
16 (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
17 encouraged to:
18 (i) increase the penalty for the knowing
19 violation of any order of protection over any
20 penalty previously imposed by any court for
21 respondent's violation of any order of protection or
22 penal statute involving petitioner as victim and

29 violation of an order of protection
30 unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
31 penalty or that period of imprisonment would be

33 (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for
34 a violation of an order of protection, a criminal court
