Provide for recognition and enforcement of military protective orders under the Protection Orders Act

Summary

The bill adds a definition for military protective orders and permits those orders to be admitted as evidence in protection‑order hearings. It also obligates peace officers to query the FBI’s NCIC database for such orders when they arrest a member of the armed forces and to notify the issuing authority if a violation appears likely. The changes aim to improve protection for victims and ensure coordination between state and federal enforcement.
