Interpersonal Violence Injunctions

Summary

The bill changes Florida’s domestic‑violence injunction process by forcing courts to review petitions without the other party present and set a final hearing as soon as possible, and by requiring respondents to be personally served by a law‑enforcement officer. It also updates the forms and electronic‑service procedures that clerks must provide, renames the statewide verification system, and prohibits courts from issuing mutual orders of protection. The changes would impact victims, alleged abusers, courts, clerks and law‑enforcement agencies.
