SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Abduction of a minor; penalty. Makes the abduction of a minor a Class 2 felony, unless such abduction is committed by the parent or a family or household member who has been ordered custody or visitation of the person abducted, for which there is a prescribed punishment. Under current law, abduction of any person is punishable as a Class 5 felony if there is no other prescribed punishment. The bill also makes an abduction committed by a family or household member who has been ordered custody or visitation of the person abducted punishable the same as an abduction committed by the parent of the person abducted.
