Description

Protective orders; extension. Provides that a court may, for good cause shown, extend a preliminary protective order without requiring additional supporting affidavits or testimony where the party subject to the order fails to attend the required hearing. Current law provides that the party for whose benefit the protective order was issued is required to repeat the process to obtain the order so as to prevent its expiration. Read the Bill »
