Bill > H3788

This bill, known as "Kianna's Law", aims to improve notification procedures for victims of domestic violence. The key provisions are: 1. Extending the duration of temporary restraining orders and abuse prevention orders to 1 year. 2. Requiring law enforcement agencies to notify victims and their families when a restraining order has been successfully served, failed to be served, or expired. 3. Authorizing courts to order both in-hand service and service at the defendant's last known address for restraining orders. 4. Requiring law enforcement to enter information on unserved restraining orders into a public safety information system, so that officers can quickly effect service. 5. Establishing the right of victims, family members, and witnesses to receive notifications about the status of restraining orders. 6. Directing the Victim and Witness Assistance Board to review and report on the effectiveness of victim and witness services provided by law enforcement, courts, and district attorneys.
