 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) or violation of an order of
23    protection (Section 12-30). A second and subsequent violation
24    is a Class 4 felony. In  addition  to  any  other  sentencing
25    alternatives,  for  any  second  conviction of violating this
26    Section within 5 years of a previous conviction for violating
27    this Section, the offender shall be mandatorily sentenced  to
28    a  minimum  of  48  consecutive  hours  of imprisonment.  The
29    imprisonment shall not be subject to  suspension,  nor  shall
30    the  person  be eligible for probation in order to reduce the
31    sentence.

 2        (720 ILCS 5/12-30) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-30)
 3        Sec. 12-30.  Violation of an order of protection.
 4        (a)  A person commits violation of an order of protection
 5    if he or she:
 6             (1)  Commits an act which was prohibited by a  court
 7        or fails to commit an act which was ordered by a court in
 8        violation  of  a  remedy  in  a valid order of protection
 9        authorized under paragraphs (1), (2),  (3),  or  (14)  of
10        subsection  (b)  of  Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic
11        Violence Act of 1986, or any other remedy  when  the  act
12        constitutes  a crime against the protected parties as the
13        term protected parties is defined in  Section  112A-4  of
14        the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
15             (2)  Such  violation  occurs  after the offender has
16        been served notice of the contents of the order, pursuant
17        to the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, or  otherwise  has
18        acquired actual knowledge of the contents of the order.
19        (b)  For   purposes   of   this  Section,  an  "order  of
20    protection" may have been issued by any circuit or  associate
21    judge  in  the  State  of  Illinois  in  a  criminal or civil
22    proceeding.
23        (c)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
24    diminish the inherent authority  of  the  courts  to  enforce
25    their  lawful  orders  through  civil  or  criminal  contempt
26    proceedings.
27        (d)  Violation of an order of protection under subsection
28    (a) of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor. Violation of an
29    order of protection under subsection (a) of this Section is a
30    Class  4  felony  if  the  defendant has any prior conviction
31    under this Code for  domestic  battery  (Section  12-3.2)  or
32    violation of an order of protection (Section 12-30). A second
33    or  subsequent  offense  is a Class 4 felony. The court shall
SB1215 Engrossed            -3-               LRB9007695RCcdA
 1    impose  a  minimum  penalty  of  24  hours  imprisonment  for
 2    defendant's second or subsequent violation of  any  order  of
 3    protection;   unless  the  court  explicitly  finds  that  an
 4    increased penalty or such period  of  imprisonment  would  be
 5    manifestly  unjust.  In  addition to any other penalties, the
 6    court may order the defendant to pay  a  fine  as  authorized
 7    under  Section 5-9-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections or to
 8    make restitution to the victim under  Section  5-5-6  of  the
 9    Unified  Code  of  Corrections.  In  addition  to  any  other
10    penalties,  including those imposed by Section 5-9-1.5 of the
11    Unified Code  of  Corrections,  the  court  shall  impose  an
12    additional  fine  of $20 as authorized by Section 5-9-1.11 of
13    the Unified Code of Corrections upon any person convicted  of
14    or  placed  on  supervision  for a violation of this Section.
15    The additional fine shall be imposed for  each  violation  of
16    this Section.
