9    (725 ILCS 5/112A-20)  (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-20)
10    Sec. 112A-20. Duration and extension of orders.
11    (a) Duration of emergency and interim orders. Unless
12re-opened or extended or voided by entry of an order of greater
13duration:
14        (1) Emergency orders issued under Section 112A-17
15    shall be effective for not less than 14 nor more than 21
16    days;
17        (2) Interim orders shall be effective for up to 30
18    days.
19    (b) Duration of plenary orders. Except as otherwise
20provided in this Section, a plenary order of protection shall
21be valid for a fixed period of time not to exceed 2 years. A
22plenary order of protection entered in conjunction with a
23criminal prosecution shall remain in effect as follows:
24        (1) if entered during pre-trial release, until
25    disposition, withdrawal, or dismissal of the underlying

 

 

HB0280- 3 -LRB100 04752 SLF 14759 b

1    charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
2    independent cause of action, the order's duration may be
3    for a fixed period of time not to exceed 2 years;
4        (2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture
5    warrant, until final disposition or an additional period of
6    time not exceeding 2 years; no order of protection,
7    however, shall be terminated by a dismissal that is
8    accompanied by the issuance of a bond forfeiture warrant;
9        (3) until expiration of any supervision, conditional
10    discharge, probation, periodic imprisonment, parole,
11    aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release and for
12    an additional period of time thereafter not exceeding 10 2
13    years; or
14        (4) until the date set by the court for expiration of
15    any sentence of imprisonment and subsequent parole,
16    aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release and for
17    an additional period of time thereafter not exceeding 10 2
18    years.
19    (c) Computation of time. The duration of an order of
20protection shall not be reduced by the duration of any prior
21order of protection.
22    (d) Law enforcement records. When a plenary order of
23protection expires upon the occurrence of a specified event,
24rather than upon a specified date as provided in subsection
25(b), no expiration date shall be entered in Department of State
26Police records. To remove the plenary order from those records,

 

 

HB0280- 4 -LRB100 04752 SLF 14759 b

1either party shall request the clerk of the court to file a
2certified copy of an order stating that the specified event has
3occurred or that the plenary order has been vacated or modified
4with the sheriff, and the sheriff shall direct that law
5enforcement records shall be promptly corrected in accordance
6with the filed order.
7    (e) Extension of Orders. Any emergency, interim or plenary
8order of protection may be extended one or more times, as
9required, provided that the requirements of Section 112A-17,
10112A-18 or 112A-19, as appropriate, are satisfied. If the
11motion for extension is uncontested and petitioner seeks no
12modification of the order, the order may be extended on the
13basis of petitioner's motion or affidavit stating that there
14has been no material change in relevant circumstances since
15entry of the order and stating the reason for the requested
16extension. An extension of a plenary order of protection may be
17granted, upon good cause shown, to remain in effect until the
18order of protection is vacated or modified. Extensions may be
19granted only in open court and not under the provisions of
20Section 112A-17(c), which applies only when the court is
21unavailable at the close of business or on a court holiday.
22    (f) Termination date. Any order of protection which would
23expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the close of
24the next court business day.
25    (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or
26suspending a criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing an

 

 

HB0280- 5 -LRB100 04752 SLF 14759 b

1order of protection undermines the purposes of this Article.
2This Section shall not be construed as encouraging that
3practice.
4(Source: P.A. 98-558, eff. 1-1-14.)
 
5    Section 10. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is

14    (f) Termination date. Any order of protection which would
15expire on a court holiday shall instead expire at the close of
16the next court business day.
