Summary

The bill creates a new type of protective order that employers can obtain when an employee faces violence or threats at work. It defines violating any of these orders as a criminal offense, requires the Department of Public Safety to keep a central registry, and sets procedures for hearings, ex‑parte orders, fees, and attorney costs. The measure also amends several court rules and will only take effect if it receives a two‑thirds vote in each house.
