Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the domestic relations law and the family court act, in relation to review of reports of the statewide computerized registry of orders of protection and warrants of arrest prior to issuing an order of custody or visitation
Purpose of bill
Amends section 240 of the Domestic Relations Law and amends section 651 of the Family Court Act. This bill makes technical and minor procedural corrections to provisions requiring the court to review of warrants of arrest when considering orders of custody or visitation.
Justification
This bill is a chapter amendment to chapter 595 of the laws of 2008. It is necessary to remove the requirement for courts to review warrants, generally, due to a problem with coordinating computer databases. Therefore, the warrants to be reviewed by the court are limited by this bill to family court warrants. In addition, this bill lengthens the permissible time lapse between reviews of indicated data- bases before the issuance of successive temporary orders of custody or visitation to ninety days, to better coordinate with existing court schedules.
