AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Leigh Ann Act," creates a Class A misdemeanor for violating a no-contact order issued to a domestic violence victim as part of a criminal court disposition.

It specifies that a sentence for violating the no-contact order must be served consecutively to the sentence for the original offense, unless the judge orders the sentences to be concurrent.
