| Public Act 097-0919 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Criminal Code of 1961 is amended by changing | ||||
Section 12-3.4 as follows:
| ||||
(720 ILCS 5/12-3.4) (was 720 ILCS 5/12-30)
| ||||
Sec. 12-3.4. Violation of an order of protection.
| ||||
(a) A person commits violation of an order of protection | ||||
if:
| ||||
(1) He or she knowingly commits an act which was | ||||
prohibited by a court or fails
to commit
an act which was | ||||
ordered by a court in violation of:
| ||||
(i) a remedy in a valid
order of protection | ||||
authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (14),
or
| ||||
(14.5) of
subsection (b) of Section 214 of the Illinois | ||||
Domestic Violence Act of 1986,
| ||||
(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to | ||||
the remedies
authorized
under 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,
| ||||
(iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a | ||||
crime against the
protected parties
as the term | ||
protected parties is defined in Section 112A-4 of the | ||
Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963; and
| ||
(2) Such violation occurs after the offender has been | ||
served notice of
the contents of the order, pursuant to the | ||
Illinois Domestic Violence
Act of 1986 or any substantially | ||
similar statute of another state, tribe or
United
States | ||
territory, or otherwise has acquired actual knowledge of | ||
the contents
of the
order.
| ||
An order of protection issued by a state, tribal or | ||
territorial
court
related to domestic or family violence shall | ||
be deemed valid if the issuing
court had jurisdiction over the | ||
parties and matter under the law of the state,
tribe or | ||
territory. There shall be a presumption of validity where an | ||
order is
certified and appears authentic on its face. For | ||
purposes of this Section, an "order of protection" may have | ||
been
issued in a criminal or civil proceeding.
| ||
(a-5) Failure to provide reasonable notice and opportunity | ||
to be heard
shall
be an affirmative defense to any charge or | ||
process filed seeking enforcement of
a foreign order of | ||
protection.
| ||
(b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to diminish | ||
the inherent
authority of the courts to enforce their lawful | ||
orders through civil or
criminal contempt proceedings.
| ||
(c) The limitations placed on law enforcement liability by | ||
Section 305 of
the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 apply | ||
to actions taken under this
Section.
| ||
(d) Violation of an order of protection is a Class A | ||
misdemeanor.
Violation of an order of protection is a
Class 4 | ||
felony if the defendant has any prior conviction under this | ||
Code for
domestic battery (Section 12-3.2)
or violation of an | ||
order of protection (Section 12-3.4 or
12-30) or any prior | ||
conviction under the law of another jurisdiction for an offense | ||
that could be charged in this State as a domestic battery or | ||
violation of an order of protection. Violation of an order of | ||
protection is a Class 4 felony if the
defendant has any prior | ||
conviction under this Code for
first degree murder (Section | ||
9-1), attempt to commit first degree murder
(Section 8-4), | ||
aggravated domestic battery (Section 12-3.3),

| ||

State that is substantially similar to any listed offense,
or | ||
any prior conviction under the law of another jurisdiction for | ||
an offense that could be charged in this State as one of the | ||
offenses listed in this Section, when any of these offenses | ||
have been committed against a family or
household member as | ||
defined in Section 112A-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure
of | ||
1963. The court shall impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours | ||
imprisonment for
defendant's second or subsequent violation of | ||
any order of protection; unless
the court explicitly finds that | ||
an increased penalty or such period of
imprisonment would be | ||
manifestly unjust. In addition to any other penalties,
the | ||
court may order the defendant to pay a fine as authorized under | ||
Section
5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to make | ||
restitution to the victim
under Section 5-5-6 of the Unified | ||
Code of Corrections. In addition to any
other penalties, | ||
including those imposed by Section 5-9-1.5 of the Unified Code
| ||
of Corrections, the court shall impose an additional fine of | ||
$20 as authorized
by Section 5-9-1.11 of the Unified Code of | ||
Corrections upon any person
convicted of or placed on | ||
supervision for a violation of this
Section. The additional | ||
fine shall
be imposed for each violation of this Section.
| ||
(e) (Blank).
| ||
(f) A defendant who directed the actions of a third party | ||
to violate this Section, under the principles of accountability | ||
set forth in Article 5 of this Code, is guilty of violating | ||
this Section as if the same had been personally done by the | ||
defendant, without regard to the mental state of the third | ||
party acting at the direction of the defendant. | ||
