SB3141

Illinois SB3141 increases penalties for violations of protective orders.

Illinois SB3141 amends the Civil No Contact Order Act, the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to increase penalties for violations of protective orders. The bill encourages courts to impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours imprisonment for a first violation and 96 hours for a second or subsequent violation, unless the court finds an increased penalty would be unjust. It also allows courts to consider previous violations when modifying pretrial release conditions, probation, or sentences.
