Notification of a petitioner upon service of a harassment restraining order required.

This bill requires law enforcement officers to notify a petitioner at least 24 hours before serving a harassment restraining order on the respondent, if requested by the petitioner. The notification must be made through reasonable efforts such as texting, calling, or emailing using available contact information. This change directly affects individuals seeking protection from harassment in Minnesota and law enforcement officers serving restraining orders. The provision adds a new subdivision to Minnesota Statutes 609.748 to establish this notification requirement.
