Domestic violence
(Moylan, D-Des Plaines) allows a petition for an order of protection to be filed by the State's Attorney on behalf of a person who has been abused by a family or household member. The court may, on its own motion, on behalf of a person who has been abused by a family or household member issue an order of protection. Lengthens the duration of plenary order of protection in a criminal case to no longer than 10 years after sentence completion (rather than two years). House Bill 280 has just been introduced.
