305	305	18 proceeding or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a
306	306	19 criminal court when the respondent commits the crime of
307	307	20 violation of a civil no contact order pursuant to Section 219
308	308	21 by having knowingly violated:
309	309	22 (1) remedies described in Section 213 and included in
310	310	23 a civil no contact order; or
311	311	24 (2) a provision of an order, which is substantially

325	325	2 Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact order
326	326	3 shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
327	327	4 including any crime that may have been committed at the time of
328	328	5 the violation of the civil no contact order.
329	329	6 (d) Contempt of court. A violation of any valid Illinois
330	330	7 civil no contact order, whether issued in a civil or criminal
331	331	8 proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal contempt
332	332	9 procedures, as appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction,
333	333	10 regardless of where the act or acts which violated the civil no
334	334	11 contact order were committed, to the extent consistent with
335	335	12 the venue provisions of this Act.
336	336	13 (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
337	337	14 rule to show cause or petition for adjudication of
338	338	15 criminal contempt sets forth facts evidencing an immediate
339	339	16 danger that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction or
340	340	17 inflict physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children
341	341	18 or on dependent adults in the petitioner's care, the court
342	342	19 may order the attachment of the respondent without prior
343	343	20 service of the petition for a rule to show cause, the rule
344	344	21 to show cause, the petition for adjudication of criminal
345	345	22 contempt or the adjudication of criminal contempt.
346	346	23 Conditions of release shall be set unless specifically

362	362	3 (e) Actual knowledge. A civil no contact order may be
363	363	4 enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates
364	364	5 the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
365	365	6 contents as shown through one of the following means:
366	366	7 (1) by service, delivery, or notice under Section 208;
367	367	8 (2) by notice under Section 218;
368	368	9 (3) by service of a civil no contact order under
369	369	10 Section 218; or
370	370	11 (4) by other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
371	371	12 the contents of the order.
372	372	13 (f) The enforcement of a civil no contact order in civil or
373	373	14 criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
374	374	15 following:
375	375	16 (1) the existence of a separate, correlative order,
376	376	17 entered under Section 202; or
377	377	18 (2) any finding or order entered in a conjoined
378	378	19 criminal proceeding.
379	379	20 (g) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
380	380	21 not a violation of a civil no contact order has occurred, shall
381	381	22 not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of
382	382	23 the victim.
383	383	24 (h) Penalties.
384	384	25 (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this

396	396	1 crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of
397	397	2 this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that
398	398	3 generally applies in such criminal or contempt
399	399	4 proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
400	400	5 incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
401	401	6 attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
402	402	7 (2) The court shall hear and take into account
403	403	8 evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
404	404	9 before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
405	405	10 of this subsection.
406	406	11 (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
407	407	12 encouraged to:
408	408	13 (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
409	409	14 of any civil no contact order over any penalty
410	410	15 previously imposed by any court for respondent's
411	411	16 violation of any civil no contact order or penal
412	412	17 statute involving petitioner as victim and respondent
413	413	18 as defendant;
414	414	19 (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 24 hours
415	415	20 imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
416	416	21 civil no contact order; and
417	417	22 (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 96 48 hours
418	418	23 imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
419	419	24 violation of a civil no contact order unless the court
420	420	25 explicitly finds that an increased penalty or that
421	421	26 period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust.

432	432	1 (4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
433	433	2 violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court
434	434	3 may consider evidence of any previous violations of a
435	435	4 civil no contact order:
436	436	5 (i) to modify the conditions of pretrial release
437	437	6 on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section

451	451	20 protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding
452	452	21 or by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court
453	453	22 when:
454	454	23 (1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of
455	455	24 an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30

469	469	4 (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
470	470	5 of this Act; or
471	471	6 (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
472	472	7 the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
473	473	8 (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
474	474	9 of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
475	475	10 authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
476	476	11 United States territory; or
477	477	12 (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
478	478	13 crime against the protected parties as defined by the
479	479	14 Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
480	480	15 Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
481	481	16 shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
482	482	17 including any crime that may have been committed at the
483	483	18 time of the violation of the order of protection; or
484	484	19 (2) The respondent commits the crime of child
485	485	20 abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
486	486	21 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly

504	504	3 the laws of another state, tribe, or United States
505	505	4 territory.
506	506	5 (b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
507	507	6 any valid Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a
508	508	7 civil or criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be
509	509	8 enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as
510	510	9 appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where
511	511	10 the act or acts which violated the order of protection were
512	512	11 committed, to the extent consistent with the venue provisions
513	513	12 of this Act. Nothing in this Act shall preclude any Illinois
514	514	13 court from enforcing any valid order of protection issued in
515	515	14 another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of
516	516	15 protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt
517	517	16 proceedings, unless the action which is second in time is
518	518	17 barred by collateral estoppel or the constitutional
519	519	18 prohibition against double jeopardy.
520	520	19 (1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
521	521	20 rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
522	522	21 immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
523	523	22 jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
524	524	23 on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
525	525	24 in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
526	526	25 of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
527	527	26 show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause.

540	540	3 (2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
541	541	4 of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited
542	542	5 proceeding.
543	543	6 (b-1) The court shall not hold a school district or
544	544	7 private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
545	545	8 or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
546	546	9 non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
547	547	10 (b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
548	548	11 custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
549	549	12 for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
550	550	13 this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
551	551	14 this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
552	552	15 directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
553	553	16 conduct.
554	554	17 (c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or
555	555	18 final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A
556	556	19 violation of remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8),
557	557	20 or (9) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act may be
558	558	21 enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of the
559	559	22 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court
560	560	23 may enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12)
561	561	24 of subsection (b) of Section 214 in the manner provided for
562	562	25 under Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution

574	574	1 (d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be
575	575	2 enforced pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates
576	576	3 the order after the respondent has actual knowledge of its
577	577	4 contents as shown through one of the following means:
578	578	5 (1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210.
579	579	6 (2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.
580	580	7 (3) By service of an order of protection under Section

584	584	11 (e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or
585	585	12 criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
586	586	13 following:
587	587	14 (1) The existence of a separate, correlative order,
588	588	15 entered under Section 215.
589	589	16 (2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
590	590	17 criminal proceeding.
591	591	18 (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
592	592	19 not a violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall
593	593	20 not require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of
594	594	21 the victim.
595	595	22 (g) Penalties.
596	596	23 (1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this

614	614	5 (2) The court shall hear and take into account
615	615	6 evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
616	616	7 before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
617	617	8 of this subsection.
618	618	9 (3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
619	619	10 encouraged to:
620	620	11 (i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
621	621	12 of any order of protection over any penalty previously
622	622	13 imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
623	623	14 order of protection or penal statute involving
624	624	15 petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant;
625	625	16 (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 24 hours
626	626	17 imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
627	627	18 order of protection; and
628	628	19 (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 96 48 hours
629	629	20 imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
630	630	21 violation of an order of protection

632	632	23 penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
633	633	24 unjust.
