Rules and Forms | Protective Orders: Revisions to Civil Forms to Implement New Law (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends the revision of 52 protective order forms to implement three significant changes to the law. First, changes are needed to all the restraining order form series, including the Gun Violence, Civil Harassment, Elder Abuse, Workplace Violence, and Private Postsecondary School Violence forms, to implement a new law prohibiting the possession of body armor by those who are prohibited from possessing firearms. Second, further changes are needed to gun violence restraining order forms to reflect a new law that permits the acquisition of body armor to be considered as evidence in determining whether to issue such a restraining order. Finally, additional changes are needed to certain workplace violence restraining order forms to implement new laws that add harassment as a basis for such orders, permit collective bargaining representatives to petition for orders, and allow the employee who suffered the harassment, violence, or threat of violence to opt out of being named in orders.
