Injunctions for Protection

Summary

The bill creates a cause of action for victims to obtain injunctions against a known person who commits serious violence, defines key terms, and removes filing fees while requiring a certified copy of the order. It also amends dozens of existing statutes covering elder‑care coordinators, child‑custody decisions, family‑violence indicators, patient representation, employee leave, penalties, stalking, communication interception, public record posting, budgeting, attorney‑fee sanctions, child‑support confidentiality, Hope Card benefits, foreign protection orders, risk protection orders, arrest authority, capital‑felony aggravating factors, and tracking‑device consent. The measure failed in the Civil Justice & Claims Subcommittee and did not become law.
