SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Protective orders; expiration; Virginia Criminal Information Network. Provides that when a protective order is issued, the district court shall forthwith, but no later than the end of the business day on which the order was issued, enter and transfer identifying information to the Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) system. If the order is issued by the circuit court, the primary law-enforcement agency to whom the order was forwarded by the clerk of the court shall enter the name of the person subject to the order and other appropriate information into VCIN. A copy of such order and an addendum containing any such identifying information shall be forwarded forthwith to the primary law-enforcement agency responsible for service and entry of such orders for service on the person who is the subject of the order. Upon effecting service, the agency shall enter the date and time of service into VCIN. The bill also provides that if any agency determines that any identifying information is incorrect, it shall enter the corrected information into VCIN. The bill also establishes the precise time when protective orders expire so that they can automatically be cleared from VCIN. The bill also requires that clerks make electronic reports of certain proceedings or adjudications to the Central Criminal Records Exchange and defines the term "electronic report." This bill is identical to HB 753.
