AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase the mandatory minimum jail time for violations of domestic violence protective orders in Illinois. Specifically, it encourages courts to impose a minimum of 48 hours of imprisonment for a first violation of a civil no contact order, an order of protection, or a protective order, an increase from the current 24 hours. For a second or subsequent violation of these orders, the bill encourages a minimum of 96 hours of imprisonment, up from the current 48 hours.
