    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652)
    Sec. 112A-23. Enforcement of protective orders.
    (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any protective
order, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal proceeding or
by a military tribunal, shall be enforced by a criminal court
when:
        (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
    domestic violence order of protection pursuant to Section
    12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
    Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated:
            (i) remedies described in paragraph paragraphs
        (1), (2), (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of
        Section 112A-14 of this Code,
            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
        the remedies authorized under paragraph paragraphs
        (1), (2), (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of
        Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
        1986, in a valid order of protection, which is
        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
        United States territory, or
            (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
        crime against the protected parties as defined by the
        Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
        Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence
    order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution
    for any other crime, including any crime that may have
    been committed at the time of the violation of the
    domestic violence order of protection; or
        (2) The respondent commits the crime of child
    abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
    1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly
    violated:
            (i) remedies described in paragraph paragraphs
        (5), (6), or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14
        of this Code, or
            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
        the remedies authorized under paragraph paragraphs
        (1), (5), (6), or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214
        of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a
        valid domestic violence order of protection, which is
        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
        United States territory.
        (3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
    civil no contact order when the respondent violates
    Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
    for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar
    concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any
    crime that may have been committed at the time of the
    violation of the civil no contact order.
        (4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
    stalking no contact order when the respondent violates
    Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
    for a violation of a stalking no contact order shall not
    bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including
    any crime that may have been committed at the time of the
    violation of the stalking no contact order.
    (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
criminal proceeding or by a military tribunal, may be enforced
through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate,
by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or
acts which violated the protective order were committed, to
the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this
Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois
court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in
another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders
through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings,
unless the action which is second in time is barred by
collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against
double jeopardy.
        (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
    rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
    immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
    jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
    of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
    proceeding.
    (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
described in paragraph paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced
by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may
enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner
provided for under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
    (d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced
pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order
after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as
shown through one of the following means:
        (1) (Blank).
        (2) (Blank).
        (3) By service of a protective order under subsection
    (f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code.
        (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
    the contents of the order.
    (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
following:
        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
    entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
    criminal proceeding.
    (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 shall be void.
    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
victim.
    (g) Penalties.
        (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
    subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
    crime or contempt of court under subsection subsections
    (a) or (b) of this Section, the penalty shall be the
    penalty that generally applies in such criminal or
    contempt proceedings, and may include one or more of the
    following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
    payment of attorneys' fees and costs, or community
    service.
        (2) The court shall hear and take into account
    evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
    before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
    of this subsection (g).
        (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
    encouraged to:
            (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
        of any protective order over any penalty previously
        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
        as victim and respondent as defendant;
            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
        protective order; and
            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
        violation of a protective order
    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
    unjust.
        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
    violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
    consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
            (i) to increase, revoke, or modify the bail bond
        on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section
        110-6 of this Code;
            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
        conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to

    (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
criminal proceeding or by a military tribunal, may be enforced
through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate,
by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or
acts which violated the protective order were committed, to
the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this
Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois
court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in
another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders
through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings,
unless the action which is second in time is barred by
collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against
double jeopardy.
        (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
    rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
    immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
    jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
    of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
    proceeding.
    (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
described in paragraph paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced
by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may
enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) of
subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner
provided for under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
    (d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced
pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order
after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as
shown through one of the following means:
        (1) (Blank).
        (2) (Blank).
        (3) By service of a protective order under subsection
    (f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code.
        (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
    the contents of the order.
    (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
following:
        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
    entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
    criminal proceeding.
    (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 shall be void.
    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
victim.
    (g) Penalties.
        (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
    subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
    crime or contempt of court under subsection subsections
    (a) or (b) of this Section, the penalty shall be the
    penalty that generally applies in such criminal or
    contempt proceedings, and may include one or more of the
    following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine,
    payment of attorneys' fees and costs, or community
    service.
        (2) The court shall hear and take into account
    evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
    before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
    of this subsection (g).
        (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
    encouraged to:
            (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
        of any protective order over any penalty previously
        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
        as victim and respondent as defendant;
            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
        protective order; and
            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
        violation of a protective order
    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
    unjust.
        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
    violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
    consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
            (i) to modify the conditions of pretrial release
        on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section
        110-6 of this Code;
            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
        conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to
        Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
            (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
        imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified
        Code of Corrections.

amended by changing Sections 222.5, 223, and 302 as follows:
 
    (750 ILCS 60/222.5)
    Sec. 222.5. Filing of an order of protection issued in
another state or other jurisdiction.
    (a) A person entitled to protection under an order of
protection issued by the court of another state, tribe, or
United States territory or military tribunal may file a
certified copy of the order of protection with the clerk of the
court in a judicial circuit in which the person believes that
enforcement may be necessary.
    (a-5) The Illinois National Guard shall file a certified
copy of any military order of protection with the clerk of the

    (b) The clerk shall:
        (1) treat the foreign order of protection, including,
    but not limited to, an order of protection issued by a
    military tribunal, in the same manner as a judgment of the
    circuit court for any county of this State in accordance
    with the provisions of the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign
    Judgments Act, except that the clerk shall not mail notice
    of the filing of the foreign order to the respondent named
    in the order; and

    (c) Neither residence in this State nor filing of a
foreign order of protection, including, but not limited to, an
order of protection issued by a military tribunal, shall be
required for enforcement of the order by this State. Failure
to file the foreign order shall not be an impediment to its
treatment in all respects as an Illinois order of protection.
    (d) The clerk shall not charge a fee to file a foreign
order of protection under this Section.
    (e) The sheriff shall inform the Illinois State Police as
set forth in Section 302 of this Act.

    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652)
    Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection.
    (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding
or by a military tribunal, shall be enforced by a criminal
court when:
        (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of
    an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
    by having knowingly violated:
            (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
        (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
        of this Act; or
            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
        the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
        (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
        of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
        United States territory; or
            (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
        crime against the protected parties as defined by the
        Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
        Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
    shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
    including any crime that may have been committed at the
    time of the violation of the order of protection; or
        (2) The respondent commits the crime of child
    abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of

protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt
proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
prohibition against double jeopardy.
        (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
    rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
    immediate danger that the respondent will flee the

    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.

non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
    (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
conduct.
    (c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or
final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A
violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8),
or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be

of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for
under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act.
    (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be

the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
contents as shown through one of the following means:

        (2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.

    222.
        (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of

    criminal proceeding.

    (g) Penalties.
        (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
    subsection, where the court finds the commission of a
    crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of

    generally applies in such criminal or contempt
    proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
    incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
    attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
        (2) The court shall hear and take into account
    evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
    before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)

        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
        order of protection or penal statute involving
        petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant;
            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any

after the absence, provides certification under subsection
(c).
    (c) Certification.

        enumerated in paragraph (a)(1).
        The employee shall provide such certification to the
    employer within a reasonable period after the employer
    requests certification.
        (2) Contents. An employee may satisfy the
    certification requirement of paragraph (1) by providing to

        addressing domestic violence, sexual violence, gender
        violence, or any other crime of violence and the
        effects of the violence;
            (B) a police, or court, or military record; or

                (i) to be restored by the employer to the
            position of employment held by the employee when
            the leave commenced; or
                (ii) to be restored to an equivalent position
            with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and
            other terms and conditions of employment.
            (B) Loss of benefits. The taking of leave under
        this Section shall not result in the loss of any
        employment benefit accrued prior to the date on which
        the leave commenced.
            (C) Limitations. Nothing in this subsection shall
        be construed to entitle any restored employee to:
                (i) the accrual of any seniority or employment
            benefits during any period of leave; or
                (ii) any right, benefit, or position of
            employment other than any right, benefit, or
            position to which the employee would have been
            entitled had the employee not taken the leave.

        recover the premium that the employer paid for
        maintaining coverage for the employee and the
        employee's family or household member under such group
        health plan during any period of leave under this
        Section if:
                (i) the employee fails to return from leave
            under this Section after the period of leave to
            which the employee is entitled has expired; and
                (ii) the employee fails to return to work for
            a reason other than:
                    (I) the continuation, recurrence, or onset
                of domestic violence, sexual violence, gender
                violence, or any other crime of violence that
                entitles the employee to leave pursuant to
                this Section; or
                    (II) other circumstances beyond the
                control of the employee.
            (C) Certification.
                (i) Issuance. An employer may require an
            employee who claims that the employee is unable to
            return to work because of a reason described in
            subclause (I) or (II) of subparagraph (B)(ii) to

                of violence and the effects of that violence;
                    (III) a police, or court, or military
                record; or
                    (IV) other corroborating evidence.
            The employee shall choose which document to
        submit, and the employer shall not request or require
        more than one document to be submitted.
            (D) Confidentiality. All information provided to
        the employer pursuant to subparagraph (C), including a

    making a reasonable accommodation to the known limitations
    resulting from circumstances relating to being a victim of

            violence, gender violence, or any other crime of
            violence;
    unless the employer or public agency can demonstrate that
    the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the
    operation of the employer or public agency.
        A reasonable accommodation must be made in a timely
    fashion. Any exigent circumstances or danger facing the
    employee or his or her family or household member shall be
    considered in determining whether the accommodation is
    reasonable.

        requiring significant difficulty or expense, when
        considered in light of the factors set forth in
        subparagraph (B).

            accommodation needed under this Section;
                (ii) the overall financial resources of the

            employed at such facility, the effect on expenses
            and resources, or the impact otherwise of such
            accommodation on the operation of the facility;
                (iii) the overall financial resources of the
            employer or public agency, the overall size of the
            business of an employer or public agency with
            respect to the number of employees of the employer
            or public agency, and the number, type, and
            location of the facilities of an employer or
            public agency; and
                (iv) the type of operation of the employer or
            public agency, including the composition,
            structure, and functions of the workforce of the
            employer or public agency, the geographic
            separateness of the facility from the employer or
            public agency, and the administrative or fiscal
            relationship of the facility to the employer or
            public agency.
    (c) An employer subject to Section 21 of the Workplace
Violence Prevention Act shall not violate any provisions of
the Workplace Violence Prevention Act.
    (d) Confidentiality. All information provided to the
employer pursuant to this Section including a statement of the

evidence, and the fact that the employee has requested or
obtained an accommodation pursuant to this Section shall be
retained in the strictest confidence by the employer, except
