What’s in it

This bill relates to the modification and extension of a no-contact order. Current law provides that upon the filing of an application by the state or by a victim of domestic abuse assault, harassment, stalking, sexual abuse in the first, second, or third degree, or any other public offense for which there is a victim which is filed within 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.
