Relating to military interpersonal violence

Summary

HB 4366 updates West Virginia law so that a protective order issued by a military commander can be used when a court decides whether to grant an emergency protective order or a temporary personal safety order. It also requires law‑enforcement officers to notify the agency that issued a military order when a service member is arrested for violating it, and it clarifies how out‑of‑state protection orders are enforced in the state. The changes affect victims of domestic abuse, military personnel, law‑enforcement agencies, and the courts.
