 4    the offender shall be mandatorily sentenced to a  minimum  of

 6    not  be  subject  to  suspension,  nor  shall  the  person be
 7    eligible for probation in order to reduce the sentence.  Upon
 8    conviction  of  a  person  for  domestic battery, the circuit
 9    clerk of the circuit in which judgment was entered shall send

13        (720 ILCS 5/12-30) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-30)
14        Sec. 12-30.  Violation of an order of protection.
15        (a)  A person commits violation of an order of protection
16    if he or she:
17             (1)  Commits  an act which was prohibited by a court
18        or fails to commit an act which was ordered by a court in
19        violation of a remedy in  a  valid  order  of  protection
20        authorized  under  paragraphs  (1),  (2), (3), or (14) of
21        subsection (b) of Section 214 of  the  Illinois  Domestic
22        Violence  Act  of  1986, or any other remedy when the act
23        constitutes a crime against the protected parties as  the
24        term  protected  parties  is defined in Section 112A-4 of
25        the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
26             (2)  Such violation occurs after  the  offender  has
27        been served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant
28        to  the  Illinois Domestic Violence Act, or otherwise has
29        acquired actual knowledge of the contents of the order.
30        (b)  For  purposes  of  this  Section,   an   "order   of
31    protection"  may have been issued by any circuit or associate
32    judge in the  State  of  Illinois  in  a  criminal  or  civil
33    proceeding.
                            -3-              LRB9000940RCksam
 1        (c)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
 2    diminish  the  inherent  authority  of  the courts to enforce
 3    their  lawful  orders  through  civil  or  criminal  contempt
 4    proceedings.
 5        (d)  Violation of an order of protection under subsection
 6    (a) of this Section is a Class A  misdemeanor.  A  second  or
 7    subsequent  offense  is  a  Class  4 felony.  The court shall
 8    impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24  hours  imprisonment  for
 9    defendant's second or subsequent violation of  any  order  of
10    protection;   unless  the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an
11    increased penalty or such period  of  imprisonment  would  be
12    manifestly  unjust.  In  addition to any other penalties, the
13    court may order the defendant to pay  a  fine  as  authorized
14    under  Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to
15    make restitution to the victim under  Section  5-5-6  of  the
16    Unified  Code  of Corrections. Upon conviction or an order of
17    supervision for violation of  an  order  of  protection,  the
18    circuit  clerk  of  the circuit in which judgment was entered
19    shall send written notification of the defendant's conviction
20    or an order of supervision to the Department of  Professional
21    Regulation.
