BILL NUMBER:S2942
Title of bill
An act to amend the criminal procedure law and the family court act, in relation to notification of service of ex parte orders of protection
Purpose
Provides for the immediate notification to a complainant, in the manner specified by the complainant, of the service of an ex parte order of protection.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section 530.13-A to include notification of service of ex parte order of protection. Section 2. The family court act is amended by adding a new section 153-d. Section 3. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law.
Justification
Access to information is a vital and important concern for crime victims. In 1993, a young woman was murdered by her former boyfriend because she did not know that he had been released from jail. Her murder led to the creation of the automated victim notification system which over thirty states have adopted, including New York. New York however, has not taken the next step and extended these automated notifications to include protective orders. Thousands of victims are killed or revictimized each year immediately after an order of protection is served on their abuser. By including protective orders, victims are notified when they are in the greatest danger and criminal justice agencies are given new tools to assist them during this vulnerable time. Notification can be by mail, telephone, E-mail, or other means of electronic communication, which will provide security and emotional peace of mind by allowing victims to be notified in real time when their protection order request has been served. Congress has already approved millions of dollars to help states expand their victim notification systems, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance within the U S. Department of Justice has made these grants available to states. Bypassing this legislation, New York would become eligible for this funding.
