Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 222.5. Filing of an order of protection issued in another state or other jurisdiction.
(a) A person entitled to protection under an order of protection issued by
the court of another state, tribe, or United States territory or military judge may file a
certified copy of the order of protection with the clerk of the court in a
judicial circuit in which the person believes that enforcement may be
necessary. (a-5) The Illinois National Guard shall file a certified copy of any military order of protection with the clerk of the court in a judicial circuit in which the person entitled to protection resides or if the person entitled to protection is not a State resident, in a judicial circuit in which it is believed that enforcement may be necessary.
(b) The clerk shall:
(1) treat the foreign order of protection, including, |
| but not limited to, an order of protection issued by a military judge, in the same manner as a judgment of the circuit court for any county of this State in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, except that the clerk shall not mail notice of the filing of the foreign order to the respondent named in the order; and
|
|
(2) on the same day that a foreign order of
|
| protection is filed, file a certified copy of that order with the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with maintaining Illinois State Police records as set forth in Section 222 of this Act.
|
|
(c) Neither residence in this State nor filing of a foreign order of
protection, including, but not limited to, an order of protection issued by a military judge, shall be required for enforcement of the order by this State.
Failure to file the foreign order shall not be an impediment to its treatment
in all respects as an Illinois order of protection.
(d) The clerk shall not charge a fee to file a foreign order of protection
under this Section.
(e) The sheriff shall inform the Illinois State Police as set forth in
Section 302 of this Act.
