Summary
The bill revises Illinois’ criminal code to set new penalties for interfering with a child’s visitation or parenting time. A first or second offense is treated as a petty offense with a $500 fine, but if the offender has two or more prior convictions or the child is taken out of state against a court order, the crime becomes a Class 4 felony. It targets parents or others who disrupt court‑ordered visitation.
