AB 1498, as amended, Campos. Protective orders.
Existing law authorizes a court with jurisdiction over a criminal matter to issue certain 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 a protective order enjoining a party from, among other things, molesting, attacking, threatening, sexually assaulting, harassing, contacting, or coming within a specified distance of the other party, as specified.
Existing law requires a court to consider issuing a protective order on its own motion in all cases where the defendant is charged with a crime of domestic violence, as defined, and requires the court’s records of all criminal cases involving domestic violence be clearly marked to alert the court of the issue. Existing law provides that a restraining order or protective order issued in a domestic violence case has precedence in enforcement over a civil court order, except as provided. Existing law authorizes the court, in any case in which a complaint, information, or indictment charging domestic violence has been filed, to consider the underlying nature of the offense charged and other specified information in determining whether good cause exists to issue a protective order.
This bill would apply these provisions to all cases where the defendant is charged with specified sex crimes, including rape, spousal rape, and crimes for which a person is required to register as a sex offender. The bill would further authorize the court, in any case in which a complaint, information, or indictment charging any of the above-described sex crimes has been filed, to consider the defendant’s relationship to the victim, the likelihood of continuing harm to the victim, the defendant’s criminal history, as specified, and any current protective or restraining order issued by any civil or criminal court involving the defendant.
Existing law provides that a willful and knowing violation of a protective order issued pursuant to the above-described provisions constitutes contempt of court, a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by both the imprisonment and the fine, except as specified.
By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
begin insertThis bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 136.2 of the Penal Code, proposed by AB 1850 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.
end insertThe 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.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 136.2 of the Penal Codebegin insert, as amended by
2Section 1.5 of Chapter 291 of the Statutes of 2013,end insert is amended to

(a) Upon a good cause belief that harm to, or
5intimidation or dissuasion of, a victim or witness has occurred or
6is reasonably likely to occur, a court with jurisdiction over a

8following:

2Code.
3(2) An order that a defendant shall not violate any provision of
4Section 136.1.
5(3) An order that a person before the court other than a

of the court, shall not violate
8any provisions of Section 136.1.
9(4) An order that a person described in this section shall have
10no communication whatsoever with a specified witness or a victim,
11except through an attorney under reasonable restrictions that the
12court may impose.
13(5) An order calling for a hearing to determine if an order as
14described in paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, should be issued.
15(6) (A) An order that a particular law enforcement agency
16within the jurisdiction of the court provide protection for a victim
17or a witness, or both, or for immediate family members of a victim
18or a witness who reside in the same household as the victim or
19witness or within reasonable proximity of the victim’s
or witness’
20household, as determined by the court. The order shall not be made
21without the consent of the law enforcement agency except for
22limited and specified periods of time and upon an express finding
23by the court of a clear and present danger of harm to the victim or
24witness or immediate family members of the victim or witness.
25(B) For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family
26members” include the spouse, children, or parents of the victim
27or witness.
28(7) (A) An order protecting victims of violent crime from all
29contact by the defendant, or contact, with the intent to annoy,
30harass, threaten, or commit acts of violence, by the defendant. The
31court or its designee shall transmit orders made under this
32paragraph to law enforcement personnel within
one business day
33of the issuance, modification, extension, or termination of the
34order, pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 6380 of the Family
35Code. It is the responsibility of the court to transmit the
36modification, extension, or termination orders made under this
37paragraph to the same agency that entered the original protective
38order into the Domestic Violence Restraining Order System.
39(B) (i) If a court does not issue an order pursuant to
40subparagraph (A) in a case in which the defendant is charged with
P4 1a crime of domestic violence as defined in Section 13700, the court
2on its own motion shall consider issuing a protective order upon
3a good cause belief that harm to, or intimidation or dissuasion of,
4a victim or witness has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur,
5that provides as follows:
6(I) The defendant shall not own, possess, purchase, receive, or
7attempt to purchase or receive, a firearm while the protective order
8is in effect.
9(II) The defendant shall relinquish any firearms that he or she
10owns or possesses pursuant to Section 527.9 of the Code of Civil
11Procedure.
12(ii) Every person who owns, possesses, purchases, or receives,
13or attempts to purchase or receive, a firearm while this protective
14order is in effect is punishable pursuant to Section 29825.

16court pursuant to this paragraph shall be issued on forms adopted
17by the Judicial Council of California and that have been approved
18by
the Department of Justice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section
196380 of the Family Code. However, the fact that an order issued
20by a court pursuant to this section was not issued on forms adopted
21by the Judicial Council and approved by the Department of Justice
22shall not, in and of itself, make the order unenforceable.
23(D) A protective order issued under this paragraph may require
24the defendant to be placed on electronic monitoring if the local
25government, with the concurrence of the county sheriff or the chief
26probation officer with jurisdiction, adopts a policy to authorize
27electronic monitoring of defendants and specifies the agency with
28jurisdiction for this purpose. If the court determines that the
29defendant has the ability to pay for the monitoring program, the
30court shall order the defendant to pay for the monitoring. If the
31court
determines that the defendant does not have the ability to
32pay for the electronic monitoring, the court may order electronic
33monitoring to be paid for by the local government that adopted
34the policy to authorize electronic monitoring. The duration of
35electronic monitoring shall not exceed one year from the date the
36order is issued. At no time shall the electronic monitoring be in
37place if the protective order is not in place.
38(b) A person violating an order made pursuant to paragraphs
39(1) to (7), inclusive, of subdivision (a) may be punished for any
40substantive offense described in Section 136.1, or for a contempt
P5 1of the court making the order. A finding of contempt shall not be
2a bar to prosecution for a violation of Section 136.1. However, a
3person so held in contempt shall be entitled to credit for punishment
4imposed therein against a
sentence imposed upon conviction of
5an offense described in Section 136.1. A conviction or acquittal
6for a substantive offense under Section 136.1 shall be a bar to a
7subsequent punishment for contempt arising out of the same act.
8(c) (1) (A) Notwithstanding subdivision (e), an emergency
9protective order issued pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with
10Section 6250) of Part 3 of Division 10 of the Family Code or
11Section 646.91 shall have precedence in enforcement over any

3be limited to, mechanisms for ensuring appropriate communication
4and information sharing between criminal, family, and juvenile
5courts concerning orders and cases that involve the same parties,
6and shall permit a family or juvenile court order to coexist with a

23determining whether good cause exists to issue an order under
24paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), the underlying nature of the
25offense charged, and the information provided to the court pursuant
26to Section 273.75.
27(2) In any case in which a complaint, information, or indictment

34likelihood of continuing harm to the victim, any current restraining
35order or protective order issued by any civil or criminal court
36involving the defendant, and the defendant’s criminal history,
37including, but not limited to, prior convictions for a violation of
38Section 261, 261.5, or 262, or any crime that requires the defendant
39to register pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 290, or any other

4requires the
defendant to register pursuant to subdivision (c) of
5Section 290, the court, at the time of sentencing, shall consider
6issuing an order restraining the defendant from any contact with
7the victim. The order may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined
8by the court. This protective order may be issued by the court
9regardless of whether the defendant is sentenced to the state prison
10or a county jail, or whether imposition of sentence is suspended
11and the defendant is placed on probation. It is the intent of the
12Legislature in enacting this subdivision that the duration of any
13restraining order issued by the court be based upon the seriousness
14of the facts before the court, the probability of future violations,
15and the safety of the victim and his or her immediate family.
16(2) An order under this subdivision may include provisions for
17electronic
monitoring if the local government, upon receiving the
18concurrence of the county sheriff or the chief probation officer
19with jurisdiction, adopts a policy authorizing electronic monitoring
20of defendants and specifies the agency with jurisdiction for this
21purpose. If the court determines that the defendant has the ability
22to pay for the monitoring program, the court shall order the
23defendant to pay for the monitoring. If the court determines that
24the defendant does not have the ability to pay for the electronic
25monitoring, the court may order the electronic monitoring to be
26paid for by the local government that adopted the policy authorizing
27electronic monitoring. The duration of the electronic monitoring
28shall not exceed one year from the date the order is issued.

21of whether the defendant is sentenced to the state prison or a county
22jail, or whether imposition of sentence is suspended and the
23defendant is placed on probation. It is the intent of the Legislature
24in enacting this subdivision that the duration of any restraining

27of the victim and his or her immediate family.

33purpose. If the court determines that the defendant has the ability
34to pay for the monitoring program, the court shall order the
35defendant to pay for the monitoring. If the court determines that
36the defendant does not have the ability to pay for the electronic
37monitoring, the court may order the electronic monitoring to be
38paid for by the local government that adopted the policy authorizing
39electronic monitoring. The duration of the electronic monitoring
40shall not exceed one year
from the date the order is issued.
