domestic violence; release conditions

Summary

The bill changes Arizona’s order‑of‑protection law so a verified petition can be filed by the victim, a guardian, or a third party on the victim’s behalf. It requires the court to keep the victim’s address private, waive filing fees, and lets judges issue orders without a hearing when there is reasonable cause. The orders can grant exclusive residence, bar the defendant from contact or firearms, require treatment, protect pets, and provide other safety measures.
