CRIM CD-VIOL ORDERS OF PROTECT

Summary

The bill upgrades repeat breaches of orders of protection, civil no‑contact orders, and stalking no‑contact orders from misdemeanors to Class 4 felonies when the offender has prior related convictions, including comparable out‑of‑state offenses. It also imposes a minimum 24‑hour jail term for a second violation and treats anyone who directs another person to break the order as equally responsible. The change is intended to strengthen enforcement against repeat abusers.
