Summary

Existing law allows the court to issue a protective order restraining a defendant from any contact with the victim if the defendant has been convicted of a crime of domestic violence, human trafficking, a crime in furtherance of a criminal street gang, or a registerable sex offense. Under existing law, the protective order may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court. Existing law, commencing January 1, 2021, requires a person required to register as a sex offender to register for 10 years, 20 years, or life, depending on the conviction for which the person is required to register. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2022, in cases in which the defendant has been convicted for a felony offense that requires sex offender registration, allow the court to make the protective order valid for up to the duration of the period of registration. Because a violation of the protective order would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
