Bill > AB1877

This bill, by making changes to existing laws regarding domestic violence and protective orders, aims to strengthen penalties for violations. Specifically, it proposes that violating certain protective orders or stay-away court orders will be considered a felony if the person subject to the order was arrested for, charged with, or convicted of a felony related to the conduct that led to the order. Furthermore, any subsequent conviction for violating these types of orders will also be classified as a felony. If a violation involves alleged physical injury, the court must consider this injury when assessing the seriousness of the offense and the need for public protection. These changes are intended to increase punishments for certain crimes, thus imposing a state-mandated local program.
