                                BILL NUMBER:S2243               REVISED 1/28/13

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to orders of protection
for family and non-family offenses

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to increase public safety by improving the
effectiveness of protection orders.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends Criminal Procedure Law section 530.12(11) to
require that any sentence imposed by a court fox violating an order
of protection issued pursuant to section 530.12, or by a Court of
competent jurisdiction in another State, territorial or tribal
jurisdiction, must be for a period of at least 30 days.

Section two amends Criminal Procedure Law section 530.12 by adding a
new subdivision 11-a requiring the Court to order the attachment of a
global positioning system (ankle bracelet) for repeat offenders of
Penal Law Part 3, Title H who are also found to have violated this
section. This penalty is in addition to the penalty that the Court
imposes pursuant to subdivision 11.

Section three amends Criminal Procedure Law section 530.13(8) to
require that any sentence imposed by a court for violating an order
of protection issued pursuant to section 530.13 must be for a period
of at least 30 days.

Section four amends Criminal Procedure Law section 530.13 to renumber
subdivision 9 as subdivision 10 and add a new subdivision 9 requiring
the Court to order the attachment of a global positioning system
(ankle bracelet) for repeat offenders of Penal Law Part 3, Title H
who are found to have violated this section. This penalty is in
addition to the penalty that the Court imposes pursuant to
subdivision 8.

Section five provides that this act shall take effect on the sixtieth
day after it shall have become a law.

EXISTING LAW:
Current law neither provides fox minimum prison sentences for
violations of protection orders nor requires the use of global
positioning systems as described in this bill.

JUSTIFICATION:
Orders of protection were created to provide a level of safety from an
individual that poses a risk of harm to another. Sadly, there have
been a string of cases in recent years in which orders of protection
did not prevent victims from serious harm or death. In 2010, Qian Wu,
a 46 year-old woman from Queens, had nine orders of protection
against an acquaintance, yet was stabbed to death by him outside her
home. In numerous instances, she asked for further assistance, but


the repeat offender remained loose to stalk and harass her and
violate his orders of protection.

It is possible for individuals to continually violate orders of
protection and never serve any jail time. This bill would remedy that
situation.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2011-2: S.4259 - Referred to Children and Families 2010: 5.6865 -
Referred to Codes

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have
become a law.
