Summary

The bill creates a new third‑degree residential burglary offense for anyone who enters a dwelling protected by a final restraining order against them, or who has been charged with a prior domestic‑violence crime. It presumes the entrant intended to cause injury or commit another crime and removes the usual presumption against imprisonment. Violators could face three to five years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines.
