BILL NUMBER:S2041
Title of bill
An act to amend the criminal procedure law and the executive law, in relation to authorizing a court to file non-family offense temporary orders of protection and orders of protection with the computerized registry established for such information
Purpose or general idea of bill
To permit temporary orders of protection and orders of protection for non-family domestic violence offenses to be filed with the statewide computerized registry of orders of protection.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends section 530.13 of the Criminal Procedure Law to permit courts to direct that orders of protection and temporary orders of protection of non-family domestic violence offenses be filed with the statewide computerized registry of orders of protection.
Section 2 amends section 221-a of the executive law directing the Superintendent of State Police to include such orders of protection on the computerized registry.
Existing law
Existing law only allows orders of protection and temporary orders of protection for family offenses to be entered on the statewide computerized registry.
Justification
The landmark Family Protection and Domestic Violence Intervention Act of 1994 created a framework to promote a more aggressive response to domestic violence. A statewide computerized registry was established to expedite communication between Family and Criminal Courts and law enforcement agencies. Only orders of protection for domestic violence offenses covered under the statutory definition of family offense, however, are put on the registry. At least half of the victims of domestic violence are persons outside the statutory definition of family. Orders of protection and temporary orders of protection issued to protect these victims, now covered under the 2008 legislation which expanded access to Family Court, should also be included on the computerized statewide registry.
