Summary

Existing law authorizes a court with jurisdiction over a criminal matter to issue specified protective orders upon a good cause belief that harm to, or intimidation or dissuasion of, a victim or witness has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, including an order protecting a victim of violent crime from all contact by the defendant. The violation of a restraining order issued pursuant to these provisions is a crime. This bill would additionally authorize a court with jurisdiction over a criminal matter to issue an order protecting a witness of violent crime from all contact by the defendant upon a good cause belief that harm to, or intimidation or dissuasion of, that witness has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur. The bill would also, for the purposes of these provisions, provide that a minor who was not a victim of, but who was physically present at the time of, an act of domestic violence, is a witness and is deemed to have suffered harm. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 136.2 of the Penal Code, proposed by AB 1498 and SB 910, that would become operative only if this bill and either or both of those bills are chaptered and become effective January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
