Family law: protective and restraining orders.

Existing law requires that, subject to specified limitations, an emergency protective order be enforced before any other protective or restraining order that has been issued. If there is no emergency protective order that takes precedence in enforcement and there is more than one civil protective or restraining order regarding the same parties, existing law generally requires a peace officer to enforce the order issued last. If there is no emergency protective order that takes precedence in enforcement and both criminal and civil protective or restraining orders have been issued regarding the same parties, existing law generally requires an officer to enforce the criminal order issued last. This bill would, as of July 1, 2014, instead require that a no-contact order has precedence in enforcement if more than one protective or restraining order has been issued, none of which is an emergency protective order that takes precedence in enforcement, and one of the orders that has been issued is a no-contact order, as described. This bill would also make related, conforming changes. This bill would also incorporate changes in Section 136.2 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 307, that would become operative on the date this bill becomes operative only if AB 307 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2014, and this bill is chaptered last.
