Criminal procedure: protective orders.

Summary

SB 421 would broaden the types of people a court can protect—adding victims and witnesses of violent crimes—and require orders to be sent to police within one business day. It also creates a process for certain offenders who complete a conservation‑camp program to seek dismissal of their conviction, while keeping existing firearm and public‑office restrictions in place. The measure failed and was returned to the Senate secretary.
