Summary

Issuance of emergency protective orders with assault warrants. Allows issuance of an emergency protective order contemporaneously with the issuance of a warrant for domestic assault. The bill also creates the presumption of further family abuse when there already exists or there is issued a warrant for domestic assault, necessitating the issuance of an emergency protective order, unless the presumption is rebutted by the complainant.
