HB 391 Stalking and stalking protective orders.
Introduced by: Brian J. Moran | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Stalking and stalking protective orders. Provides that the violation of a stalking protective order (SPO) is a Class 1 misdemeanor and that prosecution of such violation bars a finding of contempt for the same act. The bill also allows warrantless arrest for stalking, makes violation of a stalking protective order a trespass, prohibits those subject to SPOs from purchasing or transporting firearms, clarifies the term of effectiveness of an emergency SPO, allows a fax copy of an SPO to be served, clarifies that only electronically issued SPOs need be verified by a court, and adds auxiliary police officers to those who may request SPOs.
Technical amendments, similar to those included in HB 593 for protective orders in cases of family abuse, are included in this bill.
