Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Extended orders: contact limits and support
Beginning October 1, 2025, extended protection orders can set how the other person may contact you and your child and can limit or stop contact. The court can set child visits and require a third person to supervise when needed. It can decide who keeps and cares for pets. The court can order the other person to pay your rent or mortgage and to pay support if they have a duty to support you or your child. It can also require them to pay your court costs and fees, and to repay your lost wages and expenses from attending hearings.
Stronger protections in temporary orders
Beginning October 1, 2025, courts can add more safety rules in temporary protection orders. The court can bar threats, harm, and harassment, and can make the other person leave your home. It can block them from your home, your child’s school, or your workplace and order them to stay away from places you go. If the court already has child-custody power, it can grant you temporary custody. It can protect pets by stopping the other person from hurting or taking animals, and can also stop them from harming their own animals. In emergencies, the court can give other relief needed to keep you and your child safe.
Clearer order notices, bail, and appeals
Beginning October 1, 2025, every protective order must list the county and city for the home, school, child care, and job sites it covers. Orders must warn that even replying to a message from the applicant can violate the order. They must also warn that some arrests for violating the order can delay bail for at least 12 hours when there is a threat, a past violation, or a 0.08 BAC or certain drug levels. If a justice court issues an extended order, a party can appeal to the district court without a bond, but the order stays in effect during the appeal. These updates apply to orders issued on or after October 1, 2025.
Jailed respondents can contest in writing
Beginning October 1, 2025, when a temporary order and an extended-order request are filed together, a jailed respondent is told how to respond. If still in custody, they can file a short written note that only says whether they contest the extended order. They must file it within 14 calendar days after they are served at the jail or prison and follow the facility’s filing rules. If they do not respond on time, the court may hold the hearing without them and may grant the extended order.
