Bill > S01652

This bill amends New York state law to authorize courts issuing non-family offense temporary orders of protection to file such orders with the computerized registry of orders of protection and warrants, if the court determines such filing is necessary to implement the order's purposes. Specifically, the bill modifies sections of the criminal procedure law and executive law to expand the existing statewide registry maintained by the state police superintendent. The registry currently tracks various types of protection orders, including those related to domestic violence, and this bill adds a provision allowing courts to mandate filing of non-family offense protection orders when deemed appropriate. The goal is to enhance law enforcement's ability to track and enforce protection orders across different jurisdictions by ensuring relevant orders are entered into a centralized, accessible database. The bill will take effect on the first of October following its enactment, with a contingency clause related to another potentially concurrent legislative change. This modification aims to improve the effectiveness and comprehensive nature of protection order tracking in New York state.
