Summary
The law upgrades penalties for people who knowingly break court‑issued protective or stay‑away orders in domestic‑violence cases. Violations can now be charged as felonies when the protected person faced felony charges, and repeat offenses may also be felonies. It also requires a minimum jail stay for injuries, lets courts consider the violation when setting bail, and adds restitution and shelter‑payment options in probation.
