1        (3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
2    civil no contact order when the respondent violates
3    Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
4    for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar
5    concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any
6    crime that may have been committed at the time of the
7    violation of the civil no contact order.
8        (4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
9    stalking no contact order when the respondent violates
10    Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution

17criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be enforced
18through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate,
19by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or
20acts which violated the protective order were committed, to
21the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this
22Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois
23court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in

7    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
8    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
9    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
10    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
11    shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
12        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
13    of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
14    proceeding.
15    (c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
16responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
17described in paragraph (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection (b)
18of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced by any remedy
19provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois Marriage and
20Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order
21for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of
22Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner provided for under
23Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
24Marriage Act.

12        (i) the respondent has been served with a summons that
13    includes the language set forth in paragraph (2) of
14    subsection (c) of Section 112A-5.5;
15        (ii) the respondent has been served with the petition
16    for the protective order;
17        (iii) the respondent has been held in default in the
18    protective order proceeding; and
19        (iv) the respondent has been served with an emergency
20    order in the same proceeding that grants the same remedy,
21    including any specifics, that the respondent is alleged to
22    have violated.    
23    (e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
24criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
25following:
26        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 21 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1    entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
2        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
3    criminal proceeding.
4    (e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
5(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
61963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
7Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
8Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
9(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
101963 shall be void.
11    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
12not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
13require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
14victim.

17    subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
18    crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of
19    this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that
20    generally applies in such criminal or contempt
21    proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
22    incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
23    attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
24        (2) The court shall hear and take into account
25    evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
26    before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 22 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1    of this subsection (g).
2        (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
3    encouraged to:
4            (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
5        of any protective order over any penalty previously
6        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
7        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
8        as victim and respondent as defendant;
9            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
10        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
11        protective order; and
12            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
13        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
14        violation of a protective order unless the court
15        explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that
16        period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust.
17        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
18    violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
19    consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
20            (i) to modify the conditions of pretrial release
21        on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section
22        110-6 of this Code;
23            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
24        conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to
25        Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
26            (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic

6state or by a military judge.

22        period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust.
23        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
24    violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court
25    may consider evidence of any previous violations of a
26    civil no contact order:

16appointed at any time, and their designation shall not affect
17the responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other
18official process servers. In counties with a population over
193,000,000, a special process server may not be appointed if
20the order of protection grants the surrender of a child, the
21surrender of a firearm or firearm owners identification card,
22or the exclusive possession of a shared residence.
23    (d) Remedies requiring actual notice. The counseling,
24payment of support, payment of shelter services, and payment
25of losses remedies provided by paragraphs 4, 12, 13, and 16 of
26subsection (b) of Section 214 may be granted only if

5be adequate for the remedies provided by paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5,
66, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 17 of subsection (b) of Section
7214, but only if: (i) petitioner has made all reasonable
8efforts to accomplish actual service of process personally
9upon respondent, but respondent cannot be found to effect such
10service and (ii) petitioner files an affidavit or presents
11sworn testimony as to those efforts.
12    (f) Default. A plenary order of protection may be entered
13by default as follows:
14        (1) For any of the remedies sought in the petition, if
15    respondent has been served or given notice in accordance

17    as directed or fails to appear on any subsequent
18    appearance or hearing date agreed to by the parties or set
19    by the court; or
20        (2) For any of the remedies provided in accordance
21    with subsection (e), if respondent fails to answer or

6    Sec. 210.1. Service of notice in conjunction with a
7pending civil case.
8    (a) Notice. When an action for an order of protection is
9sought in conjunction with a pending civil case in which the
10court has obtained jurisdiction over respondent, and
11respondent has filed a general appearance, then a separate
12summons need not issue. Original notice of a hearing on a
13petition for an order of protection may be given, and the
14documents served, in accordance with Illinois Supreme Court
15Rules 11 and 12. When, however, an emergency order of
16protection is sought in such a case on an ex parte application,
17then the procedure set forth in subsection (a) of Section 210
18(other than in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subsection
19(a) (2)) shall be followed. If an order of protection is issued
20using the notice provisions of this Section, then the order of
21protection or extensions of that order may survive the
22disposition of the main civil case. The enforcement of any
23order of protection under Section 223 shall not be affected by
24the lack of notice under this Section, provided the
25requirements of subsection (d) of that Section are otherwise

2    (b) Default. The form of notice described in subsection
3(a) shall include the following language directed to the
4respondent:    
5        A 2-year plenary order of protection may be entered by
6    default for any of the remedies sought in the petition if
7    you fail to appear on the specified hearing date or on any
8    subsequent hearing date agreed to by the parties or set by
9    the court.
10    (c) Party to give notice. Notice in the pending civil case
11shall be given (i) by either party under this Section, with
12respect to extensions, modifications, hearings, or other
13relief pertinent to an order of protection, in accordance with
14Illinois Supreme Court Rules 11 and 12 or (ii) by the
15respondent as provided in subsection (c) of Section 224.

18    Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection.
19    (a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of
20protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding
21or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court
22when:
23        (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of
24    an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30
25    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 39 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1    by having knowingly violated:
2            (i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),
3        (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
4        of this Act; or
5            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
6        the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
7        (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
8        of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
9        authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
10        United States territory; or
11            (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
12        crime against the protected parties as defined by the
13        Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
14        Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
15    shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
16    including any crime that may have been committed at the
17    time of the violation of the order of protection; or
18        (2) The respondent commits the crime of child
19    abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
20    1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly
21    violated:
22            (i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6) or
23        (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or
24            (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
25        the remedies authorized under paragraphs (5), (6), or
26        (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 40 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1        valid order of protection which is authorized under
2        the laws of another state, tribe, or United States
3        territory.
4    (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
5any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a
6civil or criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be
7enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as
8appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where
9the act or acts which violated the order of protection were
10committed, to the extent consistent with the venue provisions
11of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois
12court from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in
13another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of
14protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt
15proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
16barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
17prohibition against double jeopardy.
18        (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
19    rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
20    immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
21    jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
22    on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
23    in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
24    of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
25    show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause.
26    Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 41 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1    denied in writing.
2        (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
3    of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited
4    proceeding.
5    (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or
6private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
7or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
8non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
9    (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
10custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
11for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
12this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
13this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
14directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
15conduct.
16    (c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or
17final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A
18violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8),
19or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be
20enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the
21Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court
22may enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12)
23of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for
24under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
25of Marriage Act.
26    (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 42 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates
2the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
3contents as shown through one of the following means:
4        (1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210.
5        (2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.
6        (3) By service of an order of protection under Section
7    222.
8        (4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
9    the contents of the order.
10    A respondent alleged to have violated a plenary order of
11protection is presumed to have actual knowledge of the
12contents of the order if:
13        (i) the respondent has been served with a summons that
14    includes the language set forth in paragraph (3) of
15    subsection (a) of Section 210;
16        (ii) the respondent has been served with the petition
17    for the order of protection;
18        (iii) the respondent has been held in default in the
19    order of protection proceeding; and
20        (iv) the respondent has been served with an emergency
21    order of protection in the same proceeding that grants the
22    same remedy, including any specifics, that the respondent
23    is alleged to have violated.    
24    (e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or
25criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
26following:

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 43 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1        (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order,
2    entered under Section 215.
3        (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
4    criminal proceeding.
5    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
6not a violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall
7not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of
8the 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) of
13    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 following:
16    incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
17    attorneys' fees and costs, or community 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 (1)
21    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 violation
25        of any order of protection over any penalty previously
26        imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 44 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1        order of protection or penal statute involving
2        petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant;
3            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
4        imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
5        order of protection; and
6            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
7        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
8        violation of an order of protection
9    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
10    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
11    unjust.
12        (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
13    violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may
14    consider evidence of any violations of an order of
15    protection:
16            (i) to increase, revoke or modify the conditions
17        of pretrial release on an underlying criminal charge
18        pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code of Criminal
19        Procedure of 1963;
20            (ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
21        conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to
22        Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
23            (iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
24        imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified
25        Code of Corrections.
26        (5) In addition to any other penalties, the court

 

 

SB3044 Enrolled- 45 -LRB104 17940 JRC 31377 b

1    shall impose an additional fine of $20 as authorized by
2    Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of Corrections upon
3    any person convicted of or placed on supervision for a
4    violation of an order of protection. The additional fine
5    shall be imposed for each violation of this Section.
