Sec. 302. Data maintenance by law enforcement agencies.

(a) All sheriffs shall furnish to the Illinois State Police, on the same day as received, in the form and detail the Department requires, copies of any recorded emergency or plenary civil no contact orders issued by the court and transmitted to the sheriff by the clerk of the court in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 218 of this Act. Each civil no contact order shall be entered in the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System on the same day it is issued by the court.

(b) The Illinois State Police shall maintain a complete and systematic record and index of all valid and recorded civil no contact orders issued under this Act. The data shall be used to inform all dispatchers and law enforcement officers at the scene of an alleged incident of non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual sexual penetration or violation of a civil no contact order of any recorded prior incident of non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual sexual penetration involving the victim and the effective dates and terms of any recorded civil no contact order.
