Relating to entering or modifying and extending a no-contact order associated with a criminal offense classified as a simple misdemeanor and a no-contact order entered in conjunction with the expungement of a deferred judgment

The bill specifies that if the public offense associated with the no-contact order is classified as a simple misdemeanor, the court shall only enter a no-contact order or continue an existing no-contact order for a period of one year from the date the defendant is convicted or the deferred judgment is granted and that a no-contact order entered in conjunction with a deferred judgment expires no later than the date of the expungement of the deferred judgment.2, subsection 1, which is filed within 90 days prior to the expiration of a modified no-contact order, the court shall modify and extend the no-contact order for an additional period of five years, unless the court finds the defendant no longer poses a threat to the safety of the victim, persons residing with the victim, or members of the victim’s family. The bill specifies that if the public offense associated with the no-contact order is classified as a simple misdemeanor, the no-contact order shall only be modified and extended for an additional period of one year and that a no-contact order entered in conjunction with a deferred judgment expires no later than the date of the expungement of the deferred judgment. The bill does not modify current law allowing for multiple succeeding extensions of a no-contact order.
