AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE PROTECTIVE ORDERS.

Summary

The bill changes Delaware's non‑emergency protective‑order rules so a judge cannot refuse a sexual‑violence protective order because the alleged victim or the accused was voluntarily intoxicated, because the victim engaged in limited consensual sexual touching, or because the victim never reported the assault to police. It applies to all petitions for sexual‑violence protective orders filed in Superior Court. The amendment is intended to make it easier for survivors to obtain protection.
