 1        AN ACT to amend the Criminal Code  of  1961  by  changing
 2    Sections 12-3.2 and 12-30.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Criminal  Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
 6    changing Sections 12-3.2 and 12-30 as follows:
 7        (720 ILCS 5/12-3.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-3.2)
 8        Sec. 12-3.2.  Domestic Battery.
 9        (a)  A    person   commits   domestic   battery   if   he
10    intentionally or knowingly without legal justification by any
11    means:
12             (1)  Causes bodily harm to any family  or  household
13        member  as defined in subsection (3) of Section 112A-3 of
14        the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as amended;
15             (2)  Makes  physical  contact  of  an  insulting  or
16        provoking nature with any family or household  member  as
17        defined  in  subsection (3) of Section 112A-3 of the Code
18        of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as amended.
19        (b)  Sentence.    Domestic   battery   is   a   Class   A
20    Misdemeanor. Domestic battery is a  Class  4  felony  if  the
21    defendant  has  any  prior  conviction  under  this  Code for
22    domestic  battery  (Section   12-3.2),   aggravated   battery
23    (Section   12-4),   stalking   (Section  12-7.3),  aggravated
24    stalking (Section  12-7.4),  or  violation  of  an  order  of
25    protection (Section 12-30). A second and subsequent violation
26    is  a  Class  4  felony.  In addition to any other sentencing
27    alternatives, for any second  conviction  of  violating  this
28    Section within 5 years of a previous conviction for violating
29    this  Section, the offender shall be mandatorily sentenced to
30    a minimum of  48  consecutive  hours  of  imprisonment.   The
31    imprisonment  shall  not  be subject to suspension, nor shall
                            -2-               LRB9007695RCcdA
 1    the person be eligible for probation in order to  reduce  the
 2    sentence.

 4        (720 ILCS 5/12-30) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-30)
 5        Sec. 12-30.  Violation of an order of protection.
 6        (a)  A person commits violation of an order of protection
 7    if he or she:
 8             (1)  Commits  an act which was prohibited by a court
 9        or fails to commit an act which was ordered by a court in
10        violation of a remedy in  a  valid  order  of  protection
11        authorized  under  paragraphs  (1),  (2), (3), or (14) of
12        subsection (b) of Section 214 of  the  Illinois  Domestic
13        Violence  Act  of  1986, or any other remedy when the act
14        constitutes a crime against the protected parties as  the
15        term  protected  parties  is defined in Section 112A-4 of
16        the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
17             (2)  Such violation occurs after  the  offender  has
18        been served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant
19        to  the  Illinois Domestic Violence Act, or otherwise has
20        acquired actual knowledge of the contents of the order.
21        (b)  For  purposes  of  this  Section,   an   "order   of
22    protection"  may have been issued by any circuit or associate
23    judge in the  State  of  Illinois  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),
                            -3-               LRB9007695RCcdA
 1    aggravated battery (Section 12-4), stalking (Section 12-7.3),
 2    aggravated  stalking  (Section  12-7.4),  or  violation of an
 3    order of protection (Section 12-30). A second  or  subsequent
 4    offense is a Class 4 felony. The court shall impose a minimum
 5    penalty  of  24  hours imprisonment for defendant's second or
 6    subsequent violation of any order of protection;  unless  the
 7    court  explicitly  finds  that  an  increased penalty or such
 8    period  of  imprisonment  would  be  manifestly  unjust.   In
 9    addition  to  any  other  penalties,  the court may order the
10    defendant to pay a fine as authorized under Section 5-9-1  of
11    the Unified Code of Corrections or to make restitution to the
12    victim   under   Section   5-5-6   of  the  Unified  Code  of
13    Corrections. In addition to any  other  penalties,  including
14    those  imposed  by  Section  5-9-1.5  of  the Unified Code of
15    Corrections, the court shall impose an additional fine of $20
16    as authorized by Section 5-9-1.11  of  the  Unified  Code  of
17    Corrections  upon  any  person  convicted  of  or  placed  on
18    supervision  for a violation of this Section.  The additional
19    fine shall be imposed for each violation of this Section.
