Summary

Existing law authorizes a court to issue an ex parte order enjoining a party from engaging in specified acts against another party, including threatening or harassing that party, and, in the discretion of the court, against other named family or household members. A violation of this court order constitutes contempt of court, which is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would additionally authorize a court to issue an ex parte order enjoining a party from remotely controlling any connected devices in the home of the other party. The bill would require the Judicial Council to develop or update any other forms or rules of court that are necessary to implement these provisions no later than January 1, 2022. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated 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.
