DOM VIOLENCE-ORDERS

Summary

The law changes the rules for getting a protective order so that being a minor or being in jail cannot be used to deny relief. It lets victims of family abuse, including those whose abuser is currently incarcerated, and people who have previously suffered abuse by convicted offenders, file petitions. The change aims to give more people safety from domestic violence without requiring proof of physical injury.
