Relating to access to, disclosure of, and notification of protective order registry information, judicial sanctions regarding improper disclosure of or misleading information, and a study on the registry.

HB 1571, also known as Anthony's Law, updates Texas' protective order registry to improve access for safety purposes. It restricts registry access to specific authorized users, including law enforcement officers, prosecutors, attorneys representing victims of family violence, and courts handling violations. The bill requires the registry to automatically notify the court that issued a protective order when someone subject to the order appears in another court for a civil violation or criminal offense. These changes aim to ensure critical safety information reaches relevant parties while preventing unauthorized access.
