Title of bill
An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to the duration of an order of protection
Purpose
To "toll" family offense orders of protection for periods of imprisonment.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends 530.12 of criminal procedure law, which authorizes issuance of orders of protection upon conviction of family offenses, to extend the order for periods of incarceration for class A misdemeanors and other offenses
Justification
Current law provides that the duration of orders of protection following felony convictions may be tolled for periods of imprisonment by measuring the duration of the orders from the expiration of the prison term actually imposed. This legislation provides that the duration of an order of protection issued in non-felony cases may"also be tolled for periods of imprisonment.
Existing law
Under current law, the court may issue an order of protection upon conviction of a family offense. In the case of a felony conviction, the duration of the order of protection is measured from the date of conviction or from the expiration of the prison sentence actually imposed, whichever is greater. In the case of a misdemeanor conviction, the duration is measured from the date of conviction.
