Bill > AB1363

This bill, known as Wyland's Law, would authorize the California Department of Justice (DOJ) to create or contract for an automated system that provides people with protective orders access to real-time case information, subject to legislative funding. The system would allow petitioners or protected persons to check whether the DOJ has received their protective order, confirmed service of the order on the restrained person, and whether the restrained person has attempted to purchase firearms or ammunition while the order is in effect. Additionally, the bill would make certain court and departmental records related to protective orders publicly accessible, including records demonstrating whether a superior court has transmitted protective order information to the DOJ and records of the DOJ's receipt of protective order information. The bill defines "protective order" broadly to include all types of orders listed in Section 6380, including reissued, extended, modified, or terminated orders. This legislation aims to increase transparency and provide more information to individuals seeking protection through court-issued restraining orders.
