Title of bill
An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to determining the expiration date of an order of protection
Purpose
This bill amends certain sections of the criminal procedure law with respect to entering an order of protection upon sentencing.
Summary of provisions
Sections 1 through 4 amend the Criminal Procedure Law by allowing for the entering of an order of protection upon sentencing on a conviction of any crime or violation between spouses, between parent and child or between members of the same family or household.
Section 5 establishes the effective date on the thirtieth day after it shall have become law.
Justification
A final order of protection is intended to provide protection to a victim or witness during the period following disposition of the case, when the defendant may no longer be subject to a temporary order of protection issued as a condition of bail or recognizance. As the defendant is may lawfully be subject to a temporary order of protection right up to the date of sentencing, it serves the victim's best interest to have the final order begin at sentencing rather than conviction which may allow for an extended period in which the order is valid. Additionally this bill allows that a final order of protection may be issued for any crime or violation between "members of the same family or household" as defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of the CPL. This definition includes former spouses, those who have never been married but have a child in common and those who have been in an intimate relationship. Expanding the definition for the purposes of a final order provides more victims with protection under this statute.
