5 of this Act; or
6 (ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
7 the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),
8 (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214
9 of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is
10 authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or
11 United States territory; or
12 (iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
13 crime against the protected parties as defined by the
14 Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
15 Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection
16 shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
17 including any crime that may have been committed at the
18 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

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.

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.

1 (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

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
