PROTECTIVE ORDERS-SERVICE

Summary

The measure amends Illinois law so that a respondent is considered to have received notice of a protective or order of protection simply by being present in the courtroom when the judge issues the order, even if they leave before the hearing ends. It also sets out duties for clerks, sheriffs and other agencies to file, serve and notify parties about the order. The change is intended to speed up enforcement and clarify service requirements.
