Petitions for Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence Containing Allegations of Marriage Fraud

Summary

The proposal amends the domestic‑violence injunction statute to add a new question about marriage fraud and obligates the clerk of court to electronically transmit the petition and any temporary injunction to the State Board of Immigration Enforcement within 24 hours. It would also trigger a required follow‑up contact from immigration officials. The change targets petitioners, alleged abusers, and the courts, linking protection orders with immigration oversight.
