      750 ILCS 60/228 new
          Amends  the  Illinois  Domestic  Violence  Act  of  1986.
      Provides  that  an  order  of  protection  against   domestic
      violence  issued by the court of another state, territory, or
      Indian tribe may be registered by a court of  this  State  if
      certain conditions are met.  Establishes civil immunity for a
      court,  law enforcement officer, or other person who enforces
      the order of protection against domestic violence based  upon
      a  reasonable  belief  that  the  order  is valid.  Effective
      immediately.

HB3162 Engrossed                               LRB9010776RCks
 1        AN ACT in relation to orders of protection.
 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:
 4        Section  5.  The  Criminal  Code  of  1961  is amended by
 5    changing Section 12-30 as follows:
 6        (720 ILCS 5/12-30) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-30)
 7        Sec. 12-30.  Violation of an order of protection.
 8        (a)  A person commits violation of an order of protection
 9    if he or she:
10             (1)  He or she commits an act which  was  prohibited
11        by a court or fails to commit an act which was ordered by
12        a court in violation of:
13                  (i)  a  remedy  in  a valid order of protection
14             authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), or  (14),
15             or  (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
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)  any   other   remedy   when   the    act
25             constitutes a crime against the protected parties as
26             the  term  protected  parties  is defined in Section
27             112A-4 of the Code of Criminal  Procedure  of  1963;
28             and.
29             (2)  Such  violation  occurs  after the offender has
30        been served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant
31        to the Illinois Domestic Violence  Act  of  1986  or  any
HB3162 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9010776RCks
 1        substantially  similar statute of another state, tribe or
 2        United States territory, or otherwise has acquired actual
 3        knowledge of the contents of the order.
 4        An order of protection  issued  by  a  state,  tribal  or
 5    territorial  court  related  to  domestic  or family violence
 6    shall be deemed valid if the issuing court  had  jurisdiction
 7    over the parties and matter under the law of the state, tribe
 8    or territory.  There shall be a presumption of validity where
 9    an order is certified and appears authentic on its face.
10        (a-5)  Failure   to   provide   reasonable   notice   and
11    opportunity  to  be  heard shall be an affirmative defense to
12    any charge or process filed seeking enforcement of a  foreign
13    order of protection.
14        (b)  For   purposes   of   this  Section,  an  "order  of
15    protection" may have been issued by any circuit or  associate
16    judge  in  the  State  of  Illinois  in  a  criminal or civil
17    proceeding.
18        (c)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
19    diminish the inherent authority  of  the  courts  to  enforce
20    their  lawful  orders  through  civil  or  criminal  contempt
21    proceedings.
22        (d)  Violation of an order of protection under subsection
23    (a)  of  this  Section  is a Class A misdemeanor. A second or
24    subsequent offense is a Class  4  felony.   The  court  shall
25    impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24  hours  imprisonment  for
26    defendant's  second  or  subsequent violation of any order of
27    protection;  unless  the  court  explicitly  finds  that   an
28    increased  penalty  or  such  period of imprisonment would be
29    manifestly unjust. In addition to any  other  penalties,  the
30    court  may  order  the  defendant to pay a fine as authorized
31    under Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or  to
32    make  restitution  to  the  victim under Section 5-5-6 of the
33    Unified  Code  of  Corrections.  In  addition  to  any  other
34    penalties, including those imposed by Section 5-9-1.5 of  the
HB3162 Engrossed            -3-                LRB9010776RCks
 1    Unified  Code  of  Corrections,  the  court  shall  impose an
 2    additional fine of $20 as authorized by Section  5-9-1.11  of
 3    the  Unified Code of Corrections upon any person convicted of
 4    or placed on supervision for a  violation  of  this  Section.
 5    The  additional  fine  shall be imposed for each violation of
 6    this Section.
 7        (e)  The limitations placed on law enforcement  liability
 8    by  Section 305 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986
 9    apply to actions taken under this Section.
10    (Source: P.A. 90-241, eff. 1-1-98.)
11        Section 10.  The Code of Criminal Procedure  of  1963  is
12    amended by changing Section 112A-23 as follows:
13        (725 ILCS 5/112A-23) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-23)
14        Sec. 112A-23.  Enforcement of orders of protection.
15        (a)  When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
16    protection,   whether   issued  in  a  civil,  quasi-criminal
17    proceeding, may be enforced by a criminal court when:
18             (1)  The respondent commits the crime  of  violation
19        of  an  order  of protection pursuant to Section 12-30 of
20        the Criminal Code of 1961, by having knowingly violated:
21                  (i)  remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
22             (3), or (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section
23             112A-14,
24                  (ii)  a remedy, which is substantially  similar
25             to  the  remedies  authorized  under paragraphs (1),
26             (2), (3),  (14)  or  (14.5)  of  subsection  (b)  of
27             Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
28             1986,  in  a  valid  order  of  protection, which is
29             authorized under the laws of another state, tribe or
30             United States territory,
31                  (iii)  or  any  other  remedy  when   the   act
32             constitutes a crime against the protected parties as
HB3162 Engrossed            -4-                LRB9010776RCks
 1             defined by the Criminal Code of 1961.
 2        Prosecution  for  a  violation  of an order of protection
 3    shall not bar concurrent prosecution  for  any  other  crime,
 4    including  any crime that may have been committed at the time
 5    of the violation of the order of protection; or
 6             (2)  The  respondent  commits  the  crime  of  child
 7        abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the  Criminal  Code
 8        of 1961, by having knowingly violated:
 9                  (i)  remedies  described in paragraphs (5), (6)
10             or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14, or
11                  (ii)  a remedy, which is substantially  similar
12             to  the  remedies  authorized  under paragraphs (1),
13             (2), (3),  (14)  or  (14.5)  of  subsection  (b)  of
14             Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
15             1986,  in  a  valid  order  of  protection, which is
16             authorized under the laws of another state, tribe or
17             United States territory.
18        (b)  When violation is contempt of court. A violation  of
19    any  valid  Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a
20    civil or criminal proceeding, may be enforced  through  civil
21    or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate, by any court
22    with  jurisdiction,  regardless  where  the act or acts which
23    violated the order  of  protection  were  committed,  to  the
24    extent  consistent with the venue provisions of this Article.
25    Nothing in this Article shall  preclude  any  Illinois  court
26    from  enforcing  any  valid  order  of  protection  issued in
27    another  state.  Illinois  courts  may  enforce   orders   of
28    protection  through  both  criminal  prosecution and contempt
29    proceedings, unless the action which is  second  in  time  is
30    barred   by   collateral   estoppel   or  the  constitutional
31    prohibition against double jeopardy.
32             (1)  In a contempt proceeding where the petition for
33        a rule to show  cause  sets  forth  facts  evidencing  an
34        immediate  danger  that  the  respondent  will  flee  the
HB3162 Engrossed            -5-                LRB9010776RCks
 1        jurisdiction,  conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
 2        on the petitioner  or  minor  children  or  on  dependent
 3        adults  in  petitioner's  care,  the  court may order the
 4        attachment of the respondent without prior service of the
 5        rule to show cause or the petition for  a  rule  to  show
 6        cause.   Bond  shall be set unless specifically denied in
 7        writing.
 8             (2)  A  petition  for  a  rule  to  show  cause  for
 9        violation of an order of protection shall be  treated  as
10        an expedited proceeding.
11        (c)  Violation  of custody or support orders. A violation
12    of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9)  of
13    subsection  (b)  of  Section  112A-14  may be enforced by any
14    remedy provided by Section 611 of the Illinois  Marriage  and
15    Dissolution  of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order
16    for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b)  of
17    Section   112A-14 in the manner provided for under Articles V
18    and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of  Marriage
19    Act.
20        (d)  Actual  knowledge.  An  order  of  protection may be
21    enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent  violates
22    the  order  after  respondent  has  actual  knowledge  of its
23    contents as shown through one of the following means:
24             (1)  By service, delivery, or notice  under  Section
25        112A-10.
26             (2)  By notice under Section 112A-11.
27             (3)  By  service  of  an  order  of protection under
28        Section 112A-22.
29             (4)  By other means demonstrating  actual  knowledge
30        of the contents of the order.
31        (e)  The  enforcement  of an order of protection in civil
32    or criminal court shall not be  affected  by  either  of  the
33    following:
34             (1)  The  existence of a separate, correlative order
HB3162 Engrossed            -6-                LRB9010776RCks
 1        entered under Section 112A-15.
 2             (2)  Any finding or order  entered  in  a  conjoined
 3        criminal proceeding.
 4        (f)  Circumstances.   The court, when determining whether
 5    or not a violation of an order of  protection  has  occurred,
 6    shall  not  require  physical  manifestations of abuse on the
 7    person of the victim.
 8        (g)  Penalties.
 9             (1)  Except as provided in  paragraph  (3)  of  this
10        subsection,  where  the  court  finds the commission of a
11        crime or contempt of court under subsections (a)  or  (b)
12        of  this  Section,  the penalty shall be the penalty that
13        generally  applies   in   such   criminal   or   contempt
14        proceedings,   and   may  include  one  or  more  of  the
15        following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
16        payment  of  attorneys'  fees  and  costs,  or  community
17        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
21        (1) 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
25             violation  of  any  order  of  protection  over  any
26             penalty   previously   imposed   by  any  court  for
27             respondent's violation of any order of protection or
28             penal statute involving  petitioner  as  victim  and
29             respondent as defendant;
30                  (ii)  impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24 hours
31             imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
32             order of protection; and
33                  (iii)  impose a minimum  penalty  of  48  hours
34             imprisonment  for  respondent's second or subsequent
HB3162 Engrossed            -7-                LRB9010776RCks
 1             violation of an order of protection
 2        unless the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an  increased
 3        penalty   or   that   period  of  imprisonment  would  be
 4        manifestly unjust.
 5             (4)  In addition to any other penalties imposed  for
 6        a  violation  of an order of protection, a criminal court
 7        may consider evidence of any violations of  an  order  of
 8        protection:
 9                  (i)  to  increase,  revoke  or  modify the bail
10             bond on an underlying criminal  charge  pursuant  to
11             Section 110-6;
12                  (ii)  to   revoke   or   modify   an  order  of
13             probation,  conditional  discharge  or  supervision,
14             pursuant to Section 5-6-4 of  the  Unified  Code  of
15             Corrections;
16                  (iii)  to   revoke  or  modify  a  sentence  of
17             periodic imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2  of
18             the Unified Code of Corrections.
19    (Source: P.A. 86-1300; 87-743; 87-1186.)
20        Section  99.  Effective  date. This Act takes effect upon
21    becoming law.
