Order of protection
(McAsey, D-Lockport; Mulroe, D-Chicago) makes it a Class 4 felony to violate an order of protection if the defendant had been convicted in another state of domestic battery or certain crimes of violence or been the subject of an out-of-state order of protection. It also makes the actions of a defendant who directed the actions of a third party to violate this section accountable as if those actions had been personally done by the defendant without regard to the mental state of the third party. Effective August 10, 2012.
