Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses criminal protective orders.
AI Summary
This bill amends Utah's law on pretrial protective orders, which are court orders issued during criminal proceedings to protect victims from potential harm. The bill expands the court's options for creating protective orders by adding provisions related to utility services. Specifically, if an alleged perpetrator is removed from a victim's residence, the court can now prohibit them from terminating utility services for at least 60 days or require them to restore utility services. The bill clarifies that such provisions do not automatically make the alleged perpetrator responsible for utility costs, but the court may include additional provisions about payment. The bill maintains existing provisions allowing courts to issue orders that prevent contact, remove the alleged perpetrator from the victim's residence, require stay-away provisions, and facilitate limited child visitation. The bill also specifies different expiration conditions for protective orders involving minors versus adult alleged perpetrators, depending on case disposition and service of subsequent orders. The amendments aim to provide additional protections and clarity in the process of issuing pretrial protective orders. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025.
