HB 2209: Restraining orders

Changing provisions relating to restraining orders.

Summary

  • The statute allowing police officers to arrest without a warrant persons who violate restraining orders is amended to reference two statutes in the domestic relations chapters which also allow courts to issue restraining orders. Those two statutes are also amended to require that orders entered contain a provision notifying the person being restrained that violating the order is a criminal violation.
