Bill Summary
An Act relating to the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act; amending 22 O.S. 2021, Section 60.2, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 305, O.S.L. 2023 (22 O.S.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act to allow victims of domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, rape, or other specified crimes, or individuals acting on behalf of minors or incompetent household members, to file a petition for a protective order in any county within the state, rather than being restricted to the county where the victim or defendant resides or where the abuse occurred. This change aims to make it easier for victims to seek legal protection by removing geographical barriers to filing. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
