• Violation of a civil no contact order becomes a Class 4 felony if the defendant has any prior conviction for violation of an order of protection, civil no contact order, stalking no contact order, or comparable offense under another jurisdiction's law.

• Violation of a stalking no contact order becomes a Class 4 felony if the defendant has any prior conviction for violation of an order of protection, civil no contact order, stalking no contact order, or comparable offense under another jurisdiction's law.
