AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO INTERPERSONAL AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN THE MILITARY.

Summary

The bill expands Delaware’s protective‑order system to recognize orders issued by military commanders, treating them like civil orders in court proceedings. It also speeds up ex‑parte hearings, allows longer no‑contact orders when serious abuse is shown, and gives police clearer authority to arrest violators. The changes affect victims of domestic or sexual violence, the courts, law‑enforcement, and service members subject to military orders.
