Illinois Statutes Chapter 725. Criminal Procedure § 5/112A-22.1. Short form notification

(a) Instead of personal service of a protective order under Section 112A-22 of this Code, a sheriff, other law enforcement official, special process server, or personnel assigned by the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice to investigate the alleged misconduct of committed persons or alleged violations of the person's conditions of parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release, may serve a respondent with a short form notification. The short form notification shall include the following:

(b) The short form notification shall contain the following notice in bold print:

“The order is now enforceable. You must report to the office of the sheriff or the office of the circuit court in (name of county) County to obtain a copy of the order. You are subject to arrest and may be charged with a misdemeanor or felony if you violate any of the terms of the order.”

(c) Upon verification of the identity of the respondent and the existence of an unserved order against the respondent, a sheriff or other law enforcement official may detain the respondent for a reasonable time necessary to complete and serve the short form notification.

(d) When service is made by short form notification under this Section, it may be proved by the affidavit of the person making the service.

(e) The Attorney General shall make the short form notification form available to law enforcement agencies in this State.
