AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING A VIOLATION OF AN ORDER OF PROTECTION.

HB 1764, as amended, modifies the law concerning violations of orders of protection. It expands the definition of what constitutes a violation to include domestic abuse orders of protection issued by other states or foreign jurisdictions. This change means that a violation of an equivalent order from outside the state will be treated similarly to a violation of an in-state order. The bill directly affects individuals subject to such protective orders and those they are intended to protect, aiming to ensure broader recognition and enforcement across different jurisdictions.
