IN RE:
HB388 by Raymond (Relating to the duration of protective orders issued in cases of family violence against persons who are subsequently confined or imprisoned.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Family Code to extend the period for which a family violence protective order is effective and when it expires from one to two years dependent on if and when the subject of the protective order is confined or imprisoned.
Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
