    Sec. 219.5. Hope Cards.
    (a) The Supreme Court may implement a program to issue a
Hope Card to the petitioner of a plenary order of protection
for the petitioner to distribute to any individual who may
need to be aware of the order. The Supreme Court may work with
other governmental agencies, including the Attorney General,
the Secretary of State, and circuit court clerks, to implement
the program.
    (b) A Hope Card shall:
        (1) be laminated and wallet-sized; and
        (2) contain identifying information about the
    respondent of a plenary order of protection, including a
    photograph, the active dates of the order, the case
    number, and any other pertinent information contained in
    the order.
    A Hope Card shall have the same effect as the underlying
plenary order of protection.
    (c) The program may provide for the issuance of a
temporary Hope Card at the time of the entry of the plenary
order of protection.
    (d) The first 3 Hope Cards per protected party issued to a
petitioner shall be free. The Supreme Court may establish a
fee for any additional Hope Card, not to exceed $5 per Hope
Card.

    Sec. 301. Arrest without warrant.
    (a) Any law enforcement officer may make an arrest without

person has committed or is committing any crime, including but
not limited to violation of an order of protection, under
Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, even if the crime was not committed in
the presence of the officer.
    (b) The law enforcement officer may verify the existence
of an order of protection by telephone or radio communication
with his or her law enforcement agency or by referring to the
copy of the order, or order of protection described on a Hope
Card under Section 219.5, provided by the petitioner or
respondent.
    (c) Any law enforcement officer may make an arrest without
warrant if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe a
defendant at liberty under the provisions of subdivision
(d)(1) or (d)(2) of Section 110-10 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963 has violated a condition of his or her bail
bond or recognizance.
