Relates to orders of protection

Summary

The bill updates New York’s family court and criminal procedure laws to broaden the definition of an “intimate relationship” for orders of protection. It adds a new category covering people who are not blood‑related or married but are linked through a former spouse or former intimate partner. The goal is to let courts grant protection orders in more complex relationship situations where abuse may continue after a breakup.
