Latest Text Digest

Existing law allows the court to issue a protective order restraining a defendant from any contact with the victim if the defendant has been convicted of a crime of domestic violence, human trafficking, a crime in furtherance of a criminal street gang, or a registerable sex offense. Under existing law, the protective order may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court.

This bill would authorize those orders to be valid for up to 10 years, or 2 years after the person’s release from the state prison or a county jail, whichever is later.

Existing law authorizes a protective order restraining a person convicted of the crime of battery of specified persons, including a spouse or former spouse, to be valid for up to 15 years.

The bill would authorize those orders to be valid for up to 15 years, or 2 years after the person’s release from the state prison or a county jail, whichever is later.
