Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a restraining order may be issued for an adult for a period
of up to four years, and for a child for a period of up to two years or until the child
attains the age of 18, whichever comes first. Restraining orders may be extended by
up to four years for adults or two years for children, or up to 10 years for adults or
five years for children if the court finds that there is a substantial risk that the person
against whom the order is issued may commit homicide or sexual assault of the
person the order protects. This bill provides that if a person requesting a restraining
order has been the victim of a sexual assault committed by the person against whom
he or she requests a restraining order, the restraining order must be permanent.
