 1        AN ACT to  provide  for  the  enforcement  of  orders  of
 2    protection issued in other states, amending named Acts.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Criminal  Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
 6    changing Section 12-30 as follows:
 7        (720 ILCS 5/12-30) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-30)
 8        Sec. 12-30.  Violation of an order of protection.
 9        (a)  A person commits violation of an order of protection
10    if he or she:
11             (1)  Commits  an act which was prohibited by a court
12        or fails to commit an act which was ordered by a court in
13        violation of a remedy in  a  valid  order  of  protection
14        authorized  under  paragraphs  (1),  (2), (3), or (14) of
15        subsection (b) of Section 214 of  the  Illinois  Domestic
16        Violence  Act  of 1986 or a similar law of another state,
17        or any other remedy when  the  act  constitutes  a  crime
18        against  the  protected  parties  as  the  term protected
19        parties is defined in  Section  112A-4  of  the  Code  of
20        Criminal  Procedure  of  1963 or a similar law of another
21        state.
22             (2)  Such violation occurs after  the  offender  has
23        been served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant
24        to the Illinois Domestic Violence Act or a similar law of
25        another state, or otherwise has acquired actual knowledge
26        of the contents of the order.
27        (b)  For   purposes   of   this  Section,  an  "order  of
28    protection" may have been issued by any circuit or  associate
29    judge in the State of Illinois or another state in a criminal
30    or civil proceeding.
31        (c)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
                            -2-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1    diminish  the  inherent  authority  of  the courts to enforce
 2    their  lawful  orders  through  civil  or  criminal  contempt
 3    proceedings.
 4        (d)  Violation of an order of protection under subsection
 5    (a) of this Section is a Class A  misdemeanor.  A  second  or
 6    subsequent  offense  is  a  Class  4 felony.  The court shall
 7    impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24  hours  imprisonment  for
 8    defendant's second or subsequent violation of  any  order  of
 9    protection;   unless  the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an
10    increased penalty or such period  of  imprisonment  would  be
11    manifestly  unjust.  In  addition to any other penalties, the
12    court may order the defendant to pay  a  fine  as  authorized
13    under  Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to
14    make restitution to the victim under  Section  5-5-6  of  the
15    Unified  Code  of  Corrections.  In  addition  to  any  other
16    penalties,  including those imposed by Section 5-9-1.5 of the
17    Unified Code  of  Corrections,  the  court  shall  impose  an
18    additional  fine  of $20 as authorized by Section 5-9-1.11 of
19    the Unified Code of Corrections upon any person convicted  of
20    or  placed  on  supervision  for a violation of this Section.
21    The additional fine shall be imposed for  each  violation  of
22    this Section.

24        Section  10.   The  Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
25    amended by changing Section 112A-23 as follows:
26        (725 ILCS 5/112A-23) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-23)
27        Sec. 112A-23.  Enforcement of orders of protection.
28        (a)  When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
29    protection,  whether  issued  in  a   civil,   quasi-criminal
30    proceeding, may be enforced by a criminal court when:
31             (1)  The  respondent  commits the crime of violation
32        of an order of protection pursuant to  Section  12-30  of
                            -3-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1        the  Criminal  Code of 1961, by having knowingly violated
 2        remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2), (3),  or  (14)
 3        of  subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 or similar remedies
 4        described in an order of  protection  issued  in  another
 5        state  or  any  other  remedy  when the act constitutes a
 6        crime against the protected parties  as  defined  by  the
 7        Criminal  Code of 1961 or a similar law of another state.
 8        Prosecution for a violation of  an  order  of  protection
 9        shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
10        including  any  crime that may have been committed at the
11        time of the violation of the order of protection; or
12             (2)  The  respondent  commits  the  crime  of  child
13        abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the  Criminal  Code
14        of  1961  or  a  similar  law of another state, by having
15        knowingly violated remedies described in paragraphs  (5),
16        (6) or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14.
17        (b)  When  violation is contempt of court. A violation of
18    any valid Illinois order of protection or a  valid  order  of
19    protection issued by another state, whether issued in a civil
20    or  criminal  proceeding,  may  be  enforced through civil or
21    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    An Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois  court
26    shall  enforce  from  enforcing any valid order of protection
27    issued in another state. Illinois courts may  enforce  orders
28    of  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
                            -4-                LRB9009652RCpc
 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 or a similar law of another
14    state  may  be enforced by any remedy provided by Section 611
15    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The
16    court  may  enforce  any  order  for  support  issued   under
17    paragraph  (12)  of  subsection  (b) of Section  112A-14 or a
18    similar law of another state in the manner provided for under
19    Articles V and VII of the Illinois Marriage  and  Dissolution
20    of Marriage Act.
21        (d)  Actual  knowledge.  An  order  of  protection may be
22    enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent  violates
23    the  order  after  respondent  has  actual  knowledge  of its
24    contents as shown through one of the following means:
25             (1)  By service, delivery, or notice  under  Section
26        112A-10.
27             (2)  By notice under Section 112A-11.
28             (3)  By  service  of  an  order  of protection under
29        Section 112A-22.
30             (4)  By other means demonstrating  actual  knowledge
31        of the contents of the order.
32        (e)  The  enforcement  of an order of protection in civil
33    or criminal court shall not be  affected  by  either  of  the
34    following:
                            -5-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1             (1)  The  existence of a separate, correlative order
 2        entered under Section 112A-15.

 4        criminal proceeding.
 5        (f)  Circumstances.   The court, when determining whether
 6    or not a violation of an order of  protection  has  occurred,
 7    shall  not  require  physical  manifestations of abuse on the
 8    person of 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)
13        of  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
16        following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
17        payment  of  attorneys'  fees  and  costs,  or  community
18        service.
19             (2)  The court shall  hear  and  take  into  account
20        evidence  of  any  factors  in  aggravation or mitigation
21        before deciding an appropriate  penalty  under  paragraph
22        (1) of this subsection.
23             (3)  To  the  extent  permitted by law, the court is
24        encouraged to:
25                  (i)  increase  the  penalty  for  the   knowing
26             violation  of  any  order  of  protection  over  any
27             penalty   previously   imposed   by  any  court  for
28             respondent's violation of any order of protection or
29             penal statute involving  petitioner  as  victim  and
30             respondent as defendant;
31                  (ii)  impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24 hours
32             imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
33             order of protection; and
34                  (iii)  impose a minimum  penalty  of  48  hours
                            -6-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1             imprisonment  for  respondent's second or subsequent
 2             violation of an order of protection
 3        unless the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an  increased
 4        penalty   or   that   period  of  imprisonment  would  be
 5        manifestly unjust.
 6             (4)  In addition to any other penalties imposed  for
 7        a  violation  of an order of protection, a criminal court
 8        may consider evidence of any violations of  an  order  of
 9        protection:
10                  (i)  to  increase,  revoke  or  modify the bail
11             bond on an underlying criminal  charge  pursuant  to
12             Section 110-6;
13                  (ii)  to   revoke   or   modify   an  order  of
14             probation,  conditional  discharge  or  supervision,
15             pursuant to Section 5-6-4 of  the  Unified  Code  of
16             Corrections;
17                  (iii)  to   revoke  or  modify  a  sentence  of
18             periodic imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2  of
19             the Unified Code of Corrections.
20    (Source: P.A. 86-1300; 87-743; 87-1186.)
21        Section  15.   The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986
22    is amended by changing Section 223 as follows:
23        (750 ILCS 60/223) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-23)
24        Sec. 223.  Enforcement of orders of protection.
25        (a)  When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
26    protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding,
27    may be enforced by a criminal court when:
28             (1)  The respondent commits the crime  of  violation
29        of  order  of protection pursuant to Section 12-30 of the
30        Criminal Code  of  1961,  by  having  knowingly  violated
31        remedies  described  in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), or (14)
32        of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act or a similar
                            -7-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1        law of another state or any other  remedy  when  the  act
 2        constitutes  a  crime  against  the  protected parties as
 3        defined by the Criminal Code of 1961 or a similar law  of
 4        another state. Prosecution for a violation of an order of
 5        protection  shall  not bar concurrent prosecution for any
 6        other crime, including  any  crime  that  may  have  been
 7        committed  at  the  time of the violation of the order of
 8        protection; or
 9             (2)  The  respondent  commits  the  crime  of  child

11        of  1961, by having knowingly violated remedies described
12        in paragraphs (5),  (6)  or  (8)  of  subsection  (b)  of
13        Section 214 of this Act.
14        (b)  When  violation is contempt of court. A violation of
15    any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued  in  a
16    civil  or  criminal proceeding, may be enforced through civil
17    or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate, by any court
18    with jurisdiction, regardless where the  act  or  acts  which
19    violated  the  order  of  protection  were  committed, to the
20    extent consistent with the venue provisions of this Act.   An
21    Nothing  in  this Act shall preclude any Illinois court shall
22    enforce from enforcing any valid order of  protection  issued
23    in  another  state.  Illinois  courts  may  enforce orders of
24    protection through both  criminal  prosecution  and  contempt
25    proceedings,  unless  the  action  which is second in time is
26    barred  by  collateral   estoppel   or   the   constitutional
27    prohibition against double jeopardy.
28             (1)  In a contempt proceeding where the petition for
29        a  rule  to  show  cause  sets  forth facts evidencing an
30        immediate  danger  that  the  respondent  will  flee  the
31        jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical  abuse
32        on  the  petitioner  or  minor  children  or on dependent
33        adults in petitioner's care,  the  court  may  order  the
34        attachment of the respondent without prior service of the
                            -8-                LRB9009652RCpc
 1        rule  to  show  cause  or the petition for a rule to show
 2        cause.  Bond shall be set unless specifically  denied  in
 3        writing.
 4             (2)  A  petition  for  a  rule  to  show  cause  for
 5        violation  of  an order of protection shall be treated as
 6        an expedited proceeding.
 7        (c)  Violation of custody or support orders. A  violation
 8    of  remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of
 9    subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act or a similar law of
10    another state may be  enforced  by  any  remedy  provided  by
11    Section  611  of  the  Illinois  Marriage  and Dissolution of
12    Marriage Act. The court may enforce  any  order  for  support
13    issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of Section  214
14    or  a similar law of another state in the manner provided for
15    under Articles  V  and  VII  of  the  Illinois  Marriage  and
16    Dissolution of Marriage Act.
17        (d)  Actual  knowledge.  An  order  of  protection may be
18    enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent  violates
19    the  order  after  the respondent has actual knowledge of its
20    contents as shown through one of the following means:
21             (1)  By service, delivery, or notice  under  Section
22        210.
23             (2)  By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.
24             (3)  By  service  of  an  order  of protection under
25        Section 222.
26             (4)  By other means demonstrating  actual  knowledge
27        of the contents of the order.
28        (e)  The  enforcement  of an order of protection in civil
29    or criminal court shall not be  affected  by  either  of  the
30    following:
31             (1)  The existence of a separate, correlative order,
32        entered under Section 215.
33             (2)  Any  finding  or  order  entered in a conjoined
34        criminal proceeding.

 1        (f)  Circumstances.  The court, when determining  whether
 2    or  not  a  violation of an order of protection has occurred,
 3    shall not require physical manifestations  of  abuse  on  the
 4    person of the victim.
 5        (g)  Penalties.
 6             (1)  Except  as  provided  in  paragraph (3) of this
 7        subsection, where the court finds  the  commission  of  a
 8        crime  or  contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b)
 9        of this Section, the penalty shall be  the  penalty  that
10        generally   applies   in   such   criminal   or  contempt
11        proceedings,  and  may  include  one  or  more   of   the
12        following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
13        payment  of  attorneys'  fees  and  costs,  or  community
14        service.
15             (2)  The  court  shall  hear  and  take into account
16        evidence of any  factors  in  aggravation  or  mitigation
17        before  deciding  an  appropriate penalty under paragraph
18        (1) of this subsection.
19             (3)  To the extent permitted by law,  the  court  is
20        encouraged to:
21                  (i)  increase   the  penalty  for  the  knowing
