AB 1889 California 20252026 session
Protective orders.
Existing law allows the court to issue a protective order restraining a defendant from any contact with the victim if the defendant has been convicted of a crime of domestic violence, human trafficking, a crime in furtherance of a criminal street gang, or a registerable sex offense. Under existing law, the protective order may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court. This bill would authorize those orders to be valid for up to 10 years, or one year after the person's release from the state prison or a county jail, whichever is later. Existing law authorizes a protective order restraining a person convicted of the crime of battery of specified persons, including a spouse or former spouse, to be valid for up to 15 years. The bill would authorize those orders to be valid for up to 15 years, or one year after the person's release from the state prison or a county jail, whichever is later. By extending the duration of protective orders, a violation of which is punishable as a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
