151963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
16Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
17Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
18(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
191963 shall be void.
20    (f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or
21not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
22require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
23victim.

16        protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
17        as victim and respondent as defendant;
18            (ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours

21            (iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
22        imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
23        violation of a protective order
24    unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
25    penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
26    unjust.

 

 

10300HB0280ham002- 10 -LRB103 03806 RLC 72298 a
