Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Protection Orders Act; to amend section 26-118, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to change penalties for violations of domestic abuse and sexual assault protection orders; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law regarding penalties for violating protection orders, specifically those related to domestic abuse and sexual assault. The Protection Orders Act provides legal orders to protect individuals from abuse or assault, and violating these orders is a criminal offense. Currently, a first offense for violating a domestic abuse or sexual assault protection order is a Class I misdemeanor, and a second offense is a Class IV felony. This bill proposes to increase the penalties for subsequent offenses, making a third offense a Class IIIA felony and any fourth or subsequent offense a Class IIA felony, thereby imposing stricter consequences for repeat violations of these critical protective orders.
