Interpersonal Violence Injunctions

Summary

SB 1644 would overhaul Florida's domestic‑violence injunction process by forcing courts to review petitions ex parte, set final hearings as soon as possible, and require law‑enforcement officers to personally serve respondents. It also updates clerk‑provided forms, changes how service by mail or email is deemed complete, and prohibits courts from issuing mutual protection orders. The changes aim to protect victims more quickly and create clearer records.
