2004 SESSION
HB 80 Family assault; emergency protective orders.
Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Emergency protective orders. Amends the section on emergency protective orders to make it consistent with §18.2-57.2, which makes assault and battery of a family or household member a crime. Section 18.2-57.2 requires that an emergency protective order be issued whenever a warrant for family assault is issued. This bill removes language that qualifies that mandate by requiring, in addition to the warrant, a finding that there will be probable danger of further acts of family abuse.
