Action Postponed Indefinitely (session adjourned sine die)
Summary
The bill rewrites the Family Violence Protection Act to replace “domestic abuse” with a broader term “abuse” that covers physical, emotional, digital, and property harms, as well as threats to children, animals, and immigration status. It also lets courts order protection of a victim’s animal and stops victims from paying prosecution or filing fees. The changes aim to better address complex abuse situations and reduce barriers for victims seeking help.
