Bill > A07265

This bill authorizes courts issuing non-family offense temporary orders of protection to direct that such orders be filed with the computerized registry of orders of protection and warrants, if necessary to fulfill the order's purposes. Specifically, the bill amends the criminal procedure law and executive law to require that when a court determines filing is needed to implement the order's intent, the court clerk must submit a copy of the order to the statewide computerized registry maintained by the state police superintendent. This registry tracks various types of protection orders, including those related to domestic violence, and helps law enforcement quickly ascertain the existence of active protection orders. The bill expands the registry's scope to include additional non-family offense orders of protection that courts determine should be included, thereby potentially enhancing public safety by ensuring broader awareness and accessibility of protective judicial orders. The changes will take effect on October 1st following the bill's passage, with a contingent effective date related to another concurrent legislative action.
