SB3141
- 3 -
LRB104 18882 RLC 32327 b
1

Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
2

13

(b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
14
any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
15
criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be enforced
16
through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate,
17
by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or
18
acts which violated the protective order were committed, to
19
the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this
20
Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois
21
court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in
22
another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders
23

25
collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against
26
double jeopardy.

6

6

the contents of the order.
7

(e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
8

16
1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile

(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
20
1963 shall be void.

1

civil no contact order shall be treated as an expedited
2

14
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
15
following:

entered under Section 202; or
18

(2) any finding or order entered in a conjoined

time of the violation of the order of protection; or
19

(2) The respondent commits the crime of child
20

abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
21

1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly
22

violated:
23

(i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6) or
24

(8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or
25

(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
26

the remedies authorized under paragraphs (5), (6), or

SB3141
- 14 -
LRB104 18882 RLC 32327 b
1

(8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a
2

valid order of protection which is authorized under
3

the laws of another state, tribe, or United States
4

territory.
5

(b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
6
any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a
7
civil or criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be
8
enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as
9
appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where
10
the act or acts which violated the order of protection were
11
committed, to the extent consistent with the venue provisions
12
of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois
13
court from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in
14
another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of
15
protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt
16
proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
17
barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
18
prohibition against double jeopardy.
19

(1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
20

rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
21

immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
22

jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
23

on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
24

in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
25

of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
26

show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause.

SB3141
- 15 -
LRB104 18882 RLC 32327 b
1

Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically
2

denied in writing.
3

(2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
4

of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited
5

proceeding.
6

(b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or
7
private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
8
or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
9
non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
10

(b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
11
custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
12
for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
13
this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
14
this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
15
directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
16
conduct.
17

(c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or
18
final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A
19
violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8),
20
or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be
21
enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the
22
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court
23
may enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12)
24
of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for
25
under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
26
of Marriage Act.

(d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be
2
enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates
3
the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
4
contents as shown through one of the following means:
5

(1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210.
6

(2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.
7

(3) By service of an order of protection under Section
8

222.
9

(4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
10

the contents of the order.
11

(e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or
12
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
13
following:
14

(1) The existence of a separate, correlative order,
15

entered under Section 215.
16

(2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
17

criminal proceeding.
18

(f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
19
not a violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall
20
not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of
21
the victim.
22

(g) Penalties.
23

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
24

subsection, where the court finds the commission of a
25

crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of
26

this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that

SB3141
- 17 -
LRB104 18882 RLC 32327 b
1

generally applies in such criminal or contempt
2

proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
3

incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
4

attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
5

(2) The court shall hear and take into account
6

evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
7

before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
8

of this subsection.
9

(3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
10

encouraged to:
11

(i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
12

of any order of protection over any penalty previously
13

imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
14

order of protection or penal statute involving
15

petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant;
16

(ii) impose a minimum penalty of
48

24
hours
17

imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
18

order of protection; and
19

(iii) impose a minimum penalty of
96

48
hours
20

imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
21

violation of an order of protection
22

unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
23

penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
24

unjust.
25

(4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
26

violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may

SB3141
- 18 -
LRB104 18882 RLC 32327 b
1

consider evidence of any violations of an order of
2

protection:
3

(i) to increase, revoke or modify the conditions
4

of pretrial release on an underlying criminal charge
5

pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code of Criminal
6

Procedure of 1963;
7

(ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
8

conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to
9

Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
10

(iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
11

imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified
12

Code of Corrections.
13

(5) In addition to any other penalties, the court
14

shall impose an additional fine of $20 as authorized by
15

Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of Corrections upon
16

any person convicted of or placed on supervision for a
17

violation of an order of protection. The additional fine
18

shall be imposed for each violation of this Section.
