24             authorized under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (14),  or
25             (14.5)  of  subsection  (b)  of  Section  214 of the

29             (2), (3),  (14)  or  (14.5)  of  subsection  (b)  of

 1                  (iii)  any   other   remedy   when   the    act
 2             constitutes a crime against the protected parties as
 3             the  term  protected  parties  is defined in Section
 4             112A-4 of the Code of Criminal  Procedure  of  1963;
 5             and

 8        to the Illinois Domestic Violence  Act  of  1986  or  any
 9        substantially  similar statute of another state, tribe or
10        United States territory, or otherwise has acquired actual
11        knowledge of the contents of the order.
12        An order of protection  issued  by  a  state,  tribal  or
13    territorial  court  related  to  domestic  or family violence
14    shall be deemed valid if the issuing court  had  jurisdiction
15    over the parties and matter under the law of the state, tribe
16    or territory.  There shall be a presumption of validity where
17    an order is certified and appears authentic on its face.
18        (a-5)  Failure   to   provide   reasonable   notice   and
19    opportunity  to  be  heard shall be an affirmative defense to

22        (b)  For   purposes   of   this  Section,  an  "order  of
23    protection" may have been  issued  in  a  criminal  or  civil
24    proceeding.
25        (c)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
26    diminish  the  inherent  authority  of  the courts to enforce
27    their  lawful  orders  through  civil  or  criminal  contempt
28    proceedings.
29        (d)  Violation of an order of protection under subsection
30    (a) of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor. Violation of an
31    order of protection under subsection (a) of this Section is a
32    Class 4 felony if the  defendant  has  any  prior  conviction
33    under  this  Code  for  domestic  battery (Section 12-3.2) or
34    violation  of  an  order  of  protection   (Section   12-30).
 
                            -4-              LRB9105511RCksam
 1    Violation  of  an  order of protection is a Class 4 felony if
 2    the defendant has any prior conviction under  this  Code  for
 3    aggravated battery (Section 12-4), stalking (Section 12-7.3),
 4    aggravated  stalking  (Section  12-7.4),  unlawful  restraint

 7    against  a  family  or household member as defined in Section
 8    112A-3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.  The  court
 9    shall  impose  a minimum penalty of 24 hours imprisonment for
10    defendant's second or subsequent violation of  any  order  of
11    protection;   unless  the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an
12    increased penalty or such period  of  imprisonment  would  be
13    manifestly  unjust.  In  addition to any other penalties, the
14    court may order the defendant to pay  a  fine  as  authorized
15    under  Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to
16    make restitution to the victim under  Section  5-5-6  of  the
17    Unified  Code  of  Corrections.  In  addition  to  any  other
18    penalties,  including those imposed by Section 5-9-1.5 of the
19    Unified Code  of  Corrections,  the  court  shall  impose  an
20    additional  fine  of $20 as authorized by Section 5-9-1.11 of
21    the Unified Code of Corrections upon any person convicted  of
22    or  placed  on  supervision  for a violation of this Section.
23    The additional fine shall be imposed for  each  violation  of
24    this Section.
25        (e)  The  limitations placed on law enforcement liability
26    by Section 305 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of  1986
27    apply to actions taken under this Section.
