Summary
The bill raises the punishment for willful violations of specified protective or stay‑away orders, making a repeat offense a felony and allowing a felony charge when the person subject to the order was charged with or convicted of a felony for the underlying conduct. It also requires at least a 48‑hour jail term if the violation causes physical injury and directs courts to consider alleged injury when setting bail. Additionally, it increases fines for contacting a victim after a prior conviction and eliminates state reimbursement for related costs.
