 (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-23)(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652)Sec. 223. Enforcement of orders of protection.(a) When violation is crime. A violation of any order of protection,  whether issued in a civil or criminal proceeding, shall be enforced  by a  criminal court when:(1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of     an order of protection pursuant to Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated:(i) remedies described in paragraphs (1), (2),         (3), (14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to         the remedies authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (14), and (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or United States territory; or(iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a         crime against the protected parties as defined by the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.Prosecution for a violation of an order of protection     shall not bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any crime that may have been committed at the time of the violation of the order of protection; or(2) The respondent commits the crime of child     abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated:(i) remedies described in paragraphs (5), (6) or         (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act; or(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to         the remedies authorized under paragraphs (5), (6), or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of this Act, in a valid order of protection which is authorized under the laws of another state, tribe, or United States territory.(b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of any valid  Illinois order of protection, whether issued in a civil or criminal  proceeding, may be enforced through civil or criminal contempt procedures,  as appropriate, by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or  acts which violated the order of protection were committed, to the extent  consistent with the venue provisions of this Act.  Nothing in this Act  shall preclude any Illinois court from enforcing any valid order of  protection issued in another state. Illinois courts may enforce orders of  protection through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings,  unless the action which is second in time is barred by collateral estoppel  or the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy.(1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a     rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an immediate danger that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment of the respondent without prior service of the rule to show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause.  Bond shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.(2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation     of an order of protection shall be treated as an expedited proceeding.(b-1)  The court shall not hold a school district or private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or non-public school has been allowed to intervene.(b-2) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt for a violation of any provision of any order entered under this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of this Act if the    parents, guardian, or legal custodian directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such conduct.(c) Violation of custody or support orders or temporary or final judgments allocating parental responsibilities. A violation of remedies  described in paragraphs (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection (b) of Section  214 of this Act may be enforced by any remedy provided by Section 607.5 of  the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may  enforce any order for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b)  of Section  214 in the manner provided for under Parts V and VII of the  Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.(d) Actual knowledge. An order of protection may be enforced pursuant to  this Section if the respondent violates the order after the  respondent has  actual knowledge of its contents as shown through one of the following means:(1) By service, delivery, or notice under Section 210.(2) By notice under Section 210.1 or 211.(3) By service of an order of protection under     Section 222.(4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of     the contents of the order.(e) The enforcement of an order of protection in civil or criminal court  shall not be affected by either of the following:(1) The existence of a separate, correlative order,     entered under Section 215.(2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined     criminal proceeding.(f) Circumstances.  The court, when determining whether or not a  violation of an order of protection has occurred, shall not require  physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.(g) Penalties.(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this     subsection, where the court finds the commission of a crime or contempt of court under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that generally applies in such criminal or contempt proceedings, and may include one or more of the following: incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.(2) The court shall hear and take into account     evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1) of this subsection.(3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is     encouraged to:(i) increase the penalty for the knowing         violation of any order of protection over any penalty previously imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any order of protection or penal statute involving petitioner as victim and respondent as defendant;(ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours         imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any order of protection; and(iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours         imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent violation of an order of protectionunless the court explicitly finds that an increased     penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly unjust.(4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a     violation of an order of protection, a criminal court may consider evidence of any violations of an order of protection:(i) to increase, revoke or modify the bail bond         on an underlying criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963;(ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,         conditional discharge or supervision, pursuant to Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;(iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic         imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections.(5) In addition to any other penalties, 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 an order of protection.
